When leaving Yandu, Wen Yuan happened to meet an old friend.
The man has a handsome appearance and elegant and decent manners, "A Yuan?"
Hearing this voice, Wen Yuan didn't remember who it was at first, until she saw the man's face clearly, Wen Yuan immediately smiled and said, "Oh my god! Ah Zhao! It's you!"
All in all, the two of them had not seen each other for more than ten years, and they did not expect to meet outside Yandu City today.
"Where are you going? How do you get past Yandu?" Wen Yuan looked back at his luggage in large and small boxes.
But there are no royal birds in Yandu now, and the temperature is slowly dropping, so there is nothing wrong with passing here.
The man had a smile on his face and said, "When we go back to Cannes, why don't we go closer from here? I think it's only a short distance away, so I won't go too far."
That's it... Wen Yuan nodded and was about to say something when another woman got off the carriage.
The woman looks very iconic, but her words are sarcastic, and she doesn't have a good look towards Wen Yuan. "Why did you stop again? Didn't you tell me to go back quickly? Who are you talking to?"
She looked at Wen Yuan condescendingly, narrowing her eyes warily, "Who is this your best friend? Don't you want to introduce me?"
"Don't talk nonsense about your good relationship." The man quickly stopped her and turned to apologize to Wen Yuan, "I'm sorry, A Yuan, my wife is just a bit talkative, but she actually has a good heart. Don't take it to heart. .”
"Come on, we'll be here soon. Why stop?" The woman turned back to the carriage impatiently.
Wen Yuan and Chang Zhao had a close relationship. When they were young, they lived in the capital and were very good playmates. Unfortunately, the Chang family moved to Kangcheng and they never saw each other again.
It was an unexpected surprise to see her today. Chang Zhao also wanted to catch up with Wen Yuan and asked hurriedly: "It's not far away anyway, why don't we go and sit at the house? We haven't seen each other for so many years. You can catch up on old times.”
Of course Wen Yuan would not let go of this opportunity, mainly because her curiosity also drove her to see what kind of life Ah Zhao was living and how he could be suppressed like this by a woman.
"Okay." Wen Yuan agreed to the man's invitation without hesitation. The woman sitting in the carriage became even more angry. After Chang Zhao got in the carriage, she could be heard making a fuss outside.
Following the Chang family's motorcade all the way back to Cannes, it seemed that the Chang family did a lot of business in Cannes, and there was such a big mansion. I hadn't noticed it when I came here some time ago.
"Ah Yuan, hurry up and invite us inside." Chang Zhao was very enthusiastic and treated Shen Huaiyan and the others the same way. "Young masters, please hurry up and invite me. I will ask the servants in the mansion to prepare a sumptuous banquet to welcome you all."
"No need to go to such trouble. Why haven't you seen Uncle Chang?"
When this topic was mentioned, Chang Zhao's expression changed, and a gloomy look filled his eyes. Wen Yuan probably guessed what was going on, and regretted that he had poked someone's heart as soon as he came up.
"My father passed away shortly after arriving in Kangcheng. It was my mother who raised me and made the Chang family what it is today."
It turned out to be Mrs. Chang... When Wen Yuan was a child, she felt that this Mrs. was a powerful woman with an iron fist. Unexpectedly, she pulled Chang Zhao with one hand and supported the Chang family business with the other.
"Where is my aunt now? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know if my aunt can recognize me."
As soon as Wen Yuan finished speaking, a plump and wealthy woman walked out next to her, "Of course I remember it. A Yuan loved to come to play with A Zhao when she was a child, didn't she?"
As expected, she was the woman who single-handedly developed the Chang family to such an extent. As soon as Wen Yuan laid eyes on her, he felt a fierce aura. However, with a smile on her face, she was just a kind elder in Wen Yuan's eyes.
"We haven't seen each other for so many years. A Yuan is so beautiful. Are your parents still healthy at home? Are your careers going smoothly now, brothers?"
"Everything is fine. It's just that the eldest brother doesn't want to become an official. Now he teaches in the capital middle school."
"Okay, okay, the safety and health of your family is the most important thing."
Seeing her mother-in-law leaving her alone for a woman, the woman was angry and deliberately made a loud noise to attract everyone's attention.
This also made Mrs. Chang dissatisfied, and she actually scolded her daughter-in-law directly in front of everyone, "There is really no order at all. Who can show this appearance in front of the guests?"
When he turned to talk to Wen Yuan, he became gentle again, as if he were treating his own daughter, "A Yuan, go to the side hall, lunch is ready, go see if there is anything you like."
Seeing that she was being ignored, the woman stood there aggrievedly, motionless, just waiting for Chang Zhao to come forward to comfort her.
"Okay Yun'er, don't be aggrieved. I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite lotus tofu. Mom has a great mouth, but she is just like you. In fact, she still likes you in her heart."
I just told her this. In fact, Mrs. Chang didn't like her daughter-in-law at all, but there was a reason for that.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Chang was very attentive to Wen Yuan. Even the people around her took good care of her. "Try this. It's all the taste of Kangcheng. I don't know if you can get used to it."
Wan Fengyun saw all this and held a grudge in his heart. He had been married into this family for so many years, but he had never been treated like this by his mother-in-law. Where did this woman come from? Why was her usually arrogant mother-in-law so attentive?
Looking at the flattering smile on that face, it was really disgusting. Wan Fengyun curled his lips and Mrs. Chang saw her. The person opposite glared at her and then continued to serve Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan was satisfied with the meal, but others didn't think so. The first person to be affected was Wan Fengyun, "Hey! Chang Zhao, go get some fruit, I want to eat pears."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chang Zhaofei was not angry when his wife ordered him like this. He seemed to be... enjoying it?
Wen Yuan couldn't understand the couple anymore. Mrs. Chang on the side sighed heavily, "What a worthless thing."
It seems that Mrs. Chang not only scolded her daughter-in-law, but also scolded her son, "I'm telling you a joke, Ayuan."
"How could it be possible? Azhao has been this good-tempered since he was a child."
It is true that Chang Zhao has been this kind of soft-tempered and good-tempered since he was a child, but he will no longer be like this after he gets married. This is also a headache for Mrs. Chang. "Before, I found the daughter of a good friend for him. She has no talent for playing music, chess, calligraphy or painting." It doesn’t make sense. The most important thing is that he is a good match, which will help him in his future life. Unexpectedly..."
This incident was considered a family scandal. Mrs. Chang stopped what she was about to say and said, "What didn't you expect, Auntie?"
"Forget it, forget it, it's all in the past." She waved her hand, "I am never satisfied with my wife now, and she herself is not a good person."
I don't know what's so good about it, but I have taken care of my son to this extent.
Chang Zhao and his wife came back together. The man was holding pears in his hands, while the woman followed behind and was eating deliciously.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chang became even more angry, "The guests haven't eaten yet. Why did you eat first? It's true that a mountain village woman has no rules at all."
"It's okay, Auntie, don't be angry. Ayuan doesn't like pears, so let them eat them." Wen Yuan kept stroking Mrs. Chang's back, "You calm down."
It seems that the rift between this family is quite deep.
That night, Wen Yuan woke up and saw that Mrs. Chang's yard was still brightly lit, so she put on her clothes and went over, "Auntie, why aren't you asleep yet?"
When Mrs. Chang saw Wen Yuan coming in, she gently closed the account book and said, "If you check the accounts in the store, I have to keep an eye on them personally. Otherwise, something might happen. Why are you here? You are wearing so little. Don't worry." If you catch a cold, come on, put it on."
She wrapped Wen Yuan in the fox fur on her bed, and it didn't take long for her to feel warm.
"Wouldn't it be better to leave these to Azhao? Do you still need to check them yourself?"
"Alas..." Mrs. Chang sighed. Under the candlelight, she seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. "It would be great if he could help me. Since I married Wan, I have spent all day traveling in the mountains. Shui, no, I just came back from playing and I met you."
It turned out to be like this. Wen Yuan felt a little incredible, "Are you, my aunt, guarding those huge family properties?"
"Yes, if I didn't guard the Chang family, I would have died a long time ago." Mrs. Chang rubbed her temples as if she was tired, "It's getting late, Ayuan, go back to bed quickly. I have to look at the account book again, and then I'll have to pay for it tomorrow." Go check out the store’s warehouse.”
Wen Yuan felt a little miserable when he saw her working hard for her life. Whose rich wife lived such a life? She had to check the accounts in the middle of the night. Now Wu Qing looked at it and it seemed that she had not been there for a long time. Get a good night's sleep.
Wen Yuan woke up very early the next day. She thought she would be the first, but she didn't expect Mrs. Chang to be much earlier than her. "Auntie, are you up so early?"
"Haha, aren't you the same? We are getting old and don't have that much sleep. Let's go to the store now to check out the goods." Mrs. Chang saw that Wen Yuan was bored by being alone, "You can go too Ah Yuan?"
When they arrived at the store, the workers here followed Mrs. Chang all the way to the warehouse at the back before it was time for the clock. This was just one of the many industries of the Chang family, a medical clinic, so most of the things in the warehouse were piled up. medicinal materials.
Mrs. Chang held the account book in one hand and sorted the things in the warehouse with the other, "Well... the losses are reasonable, and the purchases are clear. Okay, no problem."
After all, it was a medical clinic under his nose, so there wouldn't be any big problems after all.
I thought it was over, but who knew that Mrs. Chang took Wen Yuan to another store.
When we found the fourth store, there were already some workers. The man greeted Mrs. Chang enthusiastically, "Good morning, madam. Is this your daughter? At first glance, she looks like a lady."
"Go and do your job. This is the daughter of my best friend." Mrs. Chang looked at the account book in her hand without raising her eyes.
She never needs other people's flattery, and she doesn't live in other people's praise. Doing her own thing is more important than anything else.
Wen Yuan's legs almost broke after following Mrs. Chang this morning. She really admired this lady, she really was not inferior to men.
