“This is called complementing each other.” No way.

“Yes. With you by All Zhi’s side, his days won’t be too difficult.” Shen Man said, half gratified and half emotional.

Jiang Yining felt that she still cared about Lu Zhi, but why was she so distant from him on the surface?

Doubt flashed past her mind, but she did not ask. Instead, she changed the topic to Lu Beicheng.

“By the way, Mother-in-law, I heard from the housekeeper that All Zhi has a younger brother, right? Why wasn’t he here? Did something hold him up and he couldn’t come home?”

Shen Man’s hand shook violently and spilled the hot tea in the porcelain pot, almost scalding herself.

Jiang Yining quickly picked up the porcelain pot and asked, “Mother-in-law, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Shen Man looked up at her in panic. “Didn’t Ah Zhi warn you not to mention Beicheng?”

“No.” Jiang Yining asked curiously, “Why can’t I mention him? Beicheng and Ah Zhi are brothers.”

Shen Man curled her lips, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. “They are blood brothers who have a closer relationship than anyone else. However, Beicheng had an accident and could no longer be found. He had become Ah Zhi’s taboo.”

She shifted her gaze to Jiang Yining and said sternly, “You must remember not to mention Beicheng in front of Ah Zhi in the future. Otherwise, he would never forgive you, even if you were his most beloved girl.”

Jiang Yining was speechless.

Was it that serious?

It seemed that Shen Man knew the inside story but was unwilling to tell her.

Jiang Yining didn’t dare to ask further because she was worried that Shen Man would notice something.

She sighed and said, “I understand. Thank you, Mother-in-law.”

Shen Man held her forehead tiredly. “I’m a little tired. I’ll go back and rest first. Be careful at home.”

“Mother-in-law, I know a little about medicine. You don’t look well. Why don’t I take a look at you?”

Jiang Yining stepped forward and wanted to take Shen Man’s pulse.

However, she mercilessly waved it away.

“There’s no need…”

Shen Man had just finished speaking when a tall figure flashed out and protected Jiang Yining.

“What did you do to her?”

This sharp and familiar voice…

Jiang Yining looked up and saw Lu Zhi’s face. She explained, “You misunderstood.”

“I saw her push you away with my own eyes. What else is there to misunderstand?” Lu Zhi looked at his mother with hatred. “In the future, don’t get close to Yining, and don’t even think about doing anything harmful to her. Otherwise, 1 won’t let you off!”

Shen Man’s face was as pale as paper and she gave up on defending herself.

No matter what she said, Ah Zhi would never believe her.

Why waste her breath?

“Since you care so much about your wife, you don’t want her to be hurt at all. Then protect her well and don’t let others take advantage of her.”

After Shen Man finished speaking, she clenched her fists and left.

Jiang Yining looked at the thin and tottering figure, and her heart ached a little.

How bad would it feel to be misunderstood by her own son?

At the thought of this, she pushed Lu Zhi away fiercely and said, “Why are you so fierce to your mother? 1 already said it was a misunderstanding. I wanted to treat my mother-in-law rashly, but she subconsciously pushed me away. She didn’t use much force! Look, how could you say something like that? Hurry up and apologize to your mother.”

Lu Zhi said coldly, “I’m not going to apologize to that woman with a heart of stone. You should stay away from her too. Don’t be deceived by her weak and innocent appearance. She might stab you in the back at any time.”

Jiang Yining clenched her fists in anger.

How unreasonable!
