Chapter 814 - 811: Good Wife 7
Those days, Wan Donglin was always out early and back late.
This day he returned home, it was almost midnight.
The lamps in the house were lit, and there was the tremella soup that Yan Xixi had prepared in advance. He drank it but saw her still sitting under the lamp reading some materials.
Upon hearing footsteps, she immediately stood up but saw his expression was a bit haggard. Although she didn’t ask what he was doing, she knew that these days had been negotiations tougher than war.
She gently hugged his waist, "Brother Donglin, it’s a pity I can’t help you."
He laughed, "Fool, you’ve helped me a lot."
"How so?"
"You keep the Empress Dowager company every day, making her so happy, which saves me from any worries."
Wan Donglin sighed lightly, "Our family is not thriving, and my elder sister has never gotten along well with the Empress Dowager. She has a husband with a large family, in-laws are alive, and her husband is somewhat male chauvinist; she has no possibility of coming home often, and her children grew up beside their grandparents, so they’re not close to the Empress Dowager either, leaving her alone all year round."
Empress Dowager Liu has a tough nature and never has the sentimentality of typical elderly, deliberately seeking attention from her children, but no matter how tough an old person is, they’re still an elder, especially with such a big incident happening in the family, she’s been worried all along.
Wan Donglin is charging at the frontline, how does he have time to comfort his mother?
Now having Yan Xixi with her, understanding her thoughts, pleasing her, bragging and chatting with her, quickly diverting her attention, she actually eats and sleeps soundly every day.
Wan Donglin feels relieved, very moved: "I never realized, my wife has such other great uses... Xixi, I must thank you."
Yan Xixi smiles broadly, compared to everything Wan Donglin has done, her little effort seems insignificant.
"Brother Donglin, you can rest assured about the house, just leave everything to me. By the way, tomorrow the Empress Dowager and I are making grilled lobsters. Come back early."
"So good? I’ll definitely come back early."
That night, in the private room at the clubhouse, two women met again.
Zhou Ting’s face was very unpleasant, whereas Rina looked nonchalant.
Rina lit a cigarette, crossed her legs, and amidst the swirling smoke, her face appeared hazy. Zhou Ting observed her lascivious posture spreading her legs when she sat down, but being a woman watching didn’t find it beautiful at all, instead secretly cursing: This seductive fox, let’s see how long you can frolic.
Actually, she had disliked Rina from the beginning.
Because when Rina was most favored, Old Zhou spent an enormous amount of money on her, which even caused extreme displeasure to Zhou Ting’s mother, fearing that this ambitious and strong woman would enter the household.
After all, Zhou Ting’s mother wasn’t the original wife either, knowing well how Old Zhou’s first wife sadly died after being abandoned.
Fortunately, Rina was sensible enough that instead of fighting for the rightful wife place and being condemned by thousands, she maneuvered among various people to obtain information, maintain balance, and in addition to great wealth and honor, also enjoy a certain degree of freedom.
"Rina, any progress?"
Rina said lightly, "When have I ever failed in front of you, the young lady?"
"Saying is useless, I need to see your results."
Zhou Ting also replied bluntly, "Last time you told me you were pregnant, do you think I would believe??? You’re not Saint Maria, there’s no way Wan Donglin glanced at you and you got pregnant."
Rina completely ignored her sarcasm, opened her crocodile leather bag and took out a piece of something to pass over.
Zhou Ting was half skeptical, "What is this?"
"See for yourself."
Zhou Ting carefully looked over, incredulous: "My god, where did you get this stuff?"
"Isn’t this simple?"
Rina exhaled a smoke ring, her face in the smoke showing a kind of hazy and vicious glamorous allure, "This is solid evidence that Yan Xixi cannot have children. Do you think the Wan Family would marry a woman who cannot have children?"
"But they are still together."
"Ultimately, at this time he still has residual infatuation with her, delaying a little longer is understandable. But now, we have an opportunity to strike, don’t we?"
After hearing Rina’s flawless plan, Zhou Ting’s tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.
Indeed, she detested Yan Xixi, from Wan Donglin to Huang Xiaojue... this woman has always been her mortal enemy.
Indeed, Yan Xixi, even though you are the world’s number one beauty, this time, you’re finished.
