Capítulo 1299: Chapter 565: Two Families

Jiang Xinyi had no choice but to book the earliest flights to the Capital City.

Zhou Yuwen stayed at Zheng Yanyan’s place for a few days, met some of her relatives, but felt somewhat uncomfortable, so he rented a suite at a nearby Hilton Hotel.

The futures market had been doing well these two days, and Zhou Yuwen invested real money and made a 20% profit in a few days. Of course, most of that was the Jiang family’s wealth.

Honestly, the reason things went so smoothly this time was because of Jiang Liming’s cooperation; otherwise, how could he have earned close to six billion in such a short time?

Of course, Zhou Yuwen also experienced losses, at least the forty billion contracts were made with real investments.

No matter how it went down, Zhou Yuwen’s worth skyrocketed once again, and most importantly, he could soon take over all of Jiang family’s factories and real estate in Jinling.

In a great mood, Zhou Yuwen took Zheng Yanyan and her mother to the mall.

Zheng Yanyan’s mother was thirty-nine years old. Although she was older, being born in the international Capital City and coming from a really good family, she was well-maintained and considered a fashionable middle-aged woman. She was very satisfied with Zhou Yuwen as her son-in-law, calling him that even though they had only spent a few days together.

Zheng Yanyan’s mother, Liu Yuerou, was a lovable woman. Like Zheng Yanyan, she loved shopping and buying clothes.

Therefore, they were very happy to go out with Zhou Yuwen, who bought them various clothes.

Meanwhile, they dragged Zhou Yuwen to take photos together to post on their social media.

The sales associate responsible for selling clothes was quite good with words. She said that it seemed as if the older sister had brought her younger siblings along to shop for clothes.

This brought a lot of joy to Zheng’s mother.

While Zhou Yuwen was accompanying the two women shopping, Jiang Xinyi called him.

Zhou Yuwen knew Jiang Xinyi would call eventually, but he didn’t expect that Jiang Xinyi and Liu Jing had already arrived in the Capital City.

This really caught Zhou Yuwen off guard.

Jiang Xinyi directly asked, “Where are you now?”

“Uh, Xinyi, I’m a bit busy now. Why don’t you and Aunt Jing go to the hotel first, and I will come to find you when I’m done?”

“What’s so inconvenient that you can’t deal with it? My family is about to collapse!”

As she said this, Jiang Xinyi couldn’t help but cry. On the plane, Liu Jing was anxiously muttering and holding Jiang Xinyi’s hand tightly.

Liu Jing said she had long known about Jiang’s father having a woman outside.

She also knew Jiang’s father always wanted to divorce her.

Initially, it was fear of dividing family property post-marriage that prevented the divorce.

Now, it’s convenient as all the assets are gone.

Jiang Liming no longer has any worries.

“Your dad is definitely going to divorce me.”

“Actually, divorcing him is nothing; it’s mainly that it would hurt you, Xinyi. I originally planned to leave everything to you, but now everything is gone.”

At this point, Liu Jing couldn’t help but cry again.

But Jiang Xinyi had to be strong; honestly, as she had lived as a young lady most of her life, experiencing such a series of events suddenly can be overwhelming.

So when she called Zhou Yuwen, she was slightly beneath her composure.

She asked where Zhou Yuwen was, stating she would come to him.

Hearing Jiang Xinyi’s firm tone, Zhou Yuwen paused and said, “Then just come to the International Trade area, I’m shopping with Yanyan and her mom. Let me know when you’re close, and I’ll come to get you.

Before Zhou Yuwen finished speaking, Jiang Xinyi had already hung up.

They came so suddenly without a driver or anything, and had to call for a car on short notice.

On the way to International Trade, Liu Jingwen asked Jiang Xinyi what Zhou Yuwen was doing there.

Jiang Xinyi hesitated for a moment but didn’t hide from Liu Jing and directly said, “He’s shopping with Zheng Yanyan and Zheng Yanyan’s mom.”

“Zheng Yanyan?”

Liu Jing remembered a girl like that and realized, “She’s involved with Yuwen too?”

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xinyi simply nodded slightly.

Liu Jing originally wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing.

This time coming over, Liu Jing needed help from someone; she was devoid of the pride’s capital, fearing that if she angered Zhou Yuwen, she might fall into the ordinary level, even less than that.

When Jiang Xinyi and her party arrived at International Trade, Zhou Yuwen had just about finished shopping. Mainly because Zheng Yanyan’s mother said there was not much to see at International Trade, she wanted to take Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan to other places to shop.

Zhou Yuwen thought that since Xinyi and her party were arriving, he couldn’t let her change locations again, right?

As he was considering this, Jiang Xinyi called to say they had arrived.

“Which floor are you on?”

Zhou Yuwen said, “Just wait for me at the west entrance; I’ll be down shortly.”

“We’re already inside,” Jiang Xinyi replied.

Meanwhile, Zheng’s mother, who had finished shopping, walked over with Zheng Yanyan, calling out, “Yuwen, what are you doing here? Let’s go; Aunt is treating you to a meal.”

Zhou Yuwen was put in a bit of a dilemma and said, “Uh, Aunt, why don’t you and Yanyan go first? I have some things to handle temporarily.”

“Things to handle? What could you handle in the Capital City?” Zheng’s mother asked with a grin, blinking.

“Um…”

At this moment.

“Zhou Yuwen, ”

Jiang Xinyi, holding her mother’s hand, had just come across Zhou Yuwen.

Thus, Jiang Xinyi’s mother and daughter unexpectedly bumped into Zheng Yanyan’s mother and daughter.

Zhou Yuwen felt disaster looming.

Indeed, Zheng’s mother noticed Jiang Xinyi, a beautiful woman of elegance, directly calling out Zhou Yuwen’s name. Her suspicions were verified as she eyed Jiang Xinyi’s party.

Yet Jiang Xinyi and Liu Jing paid no mind to Zheng Yanyan’s party; they were there for important discussions with Zhou Yuwen. Upon seeing Zhou Yuwen, Liu Jing immediately grabbed his hand, eyes filled with unspoken words.

“Yuwen, this is all my fault; you must help our family. Even if not for my sake, think of Xinyi, who’s been with you for so many years!” Liu Jing said, almost crying.

Zhou Yuwen quickly reassured Liu Jing against speaking like that.

“Aunt Jing, I know what’s gone down. It’s fine; everything is still within control.”

Zhou Yuwen comforted Liu Jing, suggesting they first book a hotel and talk there.

But Liu Jing couldn’t wait; fortunes in the futures market could evaporate in minutes.

While Liu Jing anxiously expressed her worries and clutched Zhou Yuwen’s arm, seeking a place to sort it all out,

Zheng Yanyan’s mother interjected, “Yuwen, who are these two beauties? You seem to have a good relationship; won’t you introduce them?”

At this point, Liu Jing finally noticed Zheng Yanyan’s mother and daughter on the side.

As a middle-class family from the Capital City, Zheng Yanyan’s mother surely wasn’t lacking in looks, and regarding clothes, she wore the name brands Zhou Yuwen had recently purchased. Compared to Jiang Xinyi’s party who had rushed over from Jinling, they could stand their own ground.

For a young man like Zhou Yuwen, regardless of whose family he visited, he was exceptionally desirable, yet as a normal family would, witnessing a son-in-law displaying close ties with other women would prompt a few pointed questions.

At the very least, Zhou Yuwen needed to explain who these women were.

And this was where Zhou Yuwen felt the most troubled. Neither Liu Jing nor Zheng Yanyan’s mother and daughter were easy to fool.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yanyan faired quite anxious; she knew although her family was in the Capital City, they weren’t comparable to Liu Jing’s family. Truly, if made to choose, Zhou Yuwen might, for Liu Jing, make her look bad.

So she hurriedly tugged her mother and said, “Mom! This is Yuwen’s work; we shouldn’t meddle!”

Yet who could have known, Zheng’s mother had an unyielding streak and directly said, “Work? What kind of work would require coming all the way from Jinling to the Capital City during New Year’s? Yuwen, though we aren’t wealthy, we are decent folks. You ought to give us an explanation, right?”
