Chapter 942: Chapter 942: If You Knew It Would Come to This, Why Did You Do It in the First Place?

Meng Dongyao had a smile on her face, "Mom, it’s fine, I’m not made of porcelain, doing some small chores is no big deal."

Yuan Jianing ran over, "Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you are now our key protection targets, if you need anything, just call me."

After ushering everyone into the living room to sit down, they started chatting about various topics, creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.

Yuan Jianing found an opportunity and pulled Luo Qiao upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she lay on the bed, "Qiaoqiao, I will be leaving Capital City on the sixth day. You’ll miss me, won’t you? Visit me if you have the time."

Luo Qiao pulled over a chair, "How long will this external assignment last?"

Yuan Jianing rolled on the bed, "I applied for half a year, but it’s hard to say."

Luo Qiao looked at the person writhing on the bed, "Have you truly let go?"

Yuan Jianing stopped her movements, "All these years of feelings, now it seems like a joke, probably worthless in Zhong Zhaowei’s heart. Don’t worry, you know my temperament. Like you said, he’s just scum, not worthy of me at all."

"It’s good that you can let go. You deserve better, and he’ll regret it one day."

Meanwhile, the person the two of them were discussing was already filled with regret, "Mom, will you help me one more time, please?"

"Zhaowei, you’re an adult now, you have to take responsibility for your actions. We’ve lived in the same compound for so many years, with so much goodwill, and you’ve ruined it all with this stunt.

You’re asking me to plead for you now? I don’t have the face for that. Don’t even think about it, do you feel like you haven’t disgraced the Zhong Family enough?"

"Mom, I was bewitched back then, I regret it now, please, help me."

"You and Jia Ning grew up together. Don’t you know her personality? Now you want me to go to the Yuan Family to plead for you, how dare you even say that. If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?"

Zhong Zhaowei’s mind was nearly exploding. This time he had truly lost Yuan Jianing. Previously, she had not clearly stated her position, and he had said he would handle it – yes, it was Luo Qiao. It was that day when Luo Qiao bumped into him dining with Zou Lina that Jia Ning then turned up with people.

It must have been Luo Qiao who said something to her. Jia Ning always listens to Luo Qiao; it must be this way.

With this thought, Zhong Zhaowei punched the bed hard, "All of them are bad people, all are against me, all just adding to my troubles."

He looked up at his own mother, "Leave, if you won’t help me, then stop interfering in my life."

Zhang Caiqin looked at her second son’s fierce expression. She had a feeling that Zhaowei might now have psychological problems, so she hastily left the room in a fluster and urgently went downstairs to find her husband, Zhong Zhiqiang.

Before long, Old Master Zhong was informed, "Send him away later today. Don’t let him stay in the compound, lest he causes more trouble that we can’t contain."

Zhong Zhiqiang nodded, "Understood, I’ll make the arrangements now."

Old Master Zhong commanded, "Find the best psychologist, and assign two people to keep an eye on him, to prevent him from hurting others."

Zhang Caiqin’s face looked especially unpleasant, "Dad, is it really that serious? Can’t we keep him here for treatment?"

"Given what he’s done, he’s embarrassed us enough. Now with these tendencies, you still want him to stay in the compound? If he loses his mind and goes to the Yuan Family after Jia Ning, how are we supposed to explain to the Yuan Family, unless you want to completely sever ties with them?"

"But this way, his condition could worsen."

"What do you suggest then?"

"Dad, he’s your grandson. With his current state, I’m afraid only Jia Ning can calm him down. As your daughter-in-law, I’m begging you, let Jia Ning come and persuade him, okay?"

"It was your son who wronged her, not the other way around. Get that straight, I still want to keep my dignity."

Old Master Zhong was truly angered and, after speaking, he slowly rose and left the study.

Zhang Caiqin was left behind, weeping quietly, "God, what sins have I committed?"

At noon, Yuan Weicheng arrived home just as the housekeeper came over, "Old Chief, the food is ready."

Old Master Yuan laughed heartily, "Then let’s eat, I’m also eager to taste this ginseng liquor."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Weicheng’s eyes instantly lit up, "It seems I’ve come back just in time to have a taste of this ginseng liquor."

Old Master Yuan said irritably, "Don’t even think about it."
