Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

"Oh, okay sis, did something happen?" Tang Xinrou was already at the company and just asked out of curiosity.

Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but let a slight smile creep up her mouth upon hearing this.

"No, nothing really."

"Hmm..." Tang Xinrou was a bit confused, why isn't there anything going on and yet not coming to the company? Then she remembered, Jiang Xinyi seemed to be with Zhou Yuwen last night.

And today neither of them showed up for work.

"Sis, aren't you at brother-in-law's place?" Tang Xinrou suddenly figured it out.

"No!" Jiang Xinyi was embarrassed and quickly denied.

Tang Xinrou merely responded with an "Oh," feeling a little helpless, thinking, they aren't together yet?

At this moment, Jiang Xinyi said mysteriously over the phone: "Last night... Last night he was at my place."

Tang Xinrou suddenly became clear.

"Ah, sis you!"

Tang Xinrou didn't know how to respond to Jiang Xinyi as she pondered, but couldn't resist her curiosity: so, you two?

Jiang Xinyi blushed deeply and said: "Oh, I'm not going to tell you that much, I barely slept last night, I need a good rest."

"Okay, okay, sis have a good rest. I've got things here at the company covered."

By evening after work, Tang Xinrou was thinking about visiting Jiang Xinyi, having dinner together, and chat about some interesting topics between girlfriends.

But when she saw Jiang Xinyi, seeing how she walked, she was really stunned, thinking, is brother-in-law really that fierce?

Jiang Xinyi was embarrassed too, not daring to look at Tang Xinrou, her face was red as she said: "You... didn't tell me before you came."

Later, the two of them chatted at home, although Tang Xinrou had never been in a relationship, she knew the first time shouldn't be so aggressive.

No matter how good the car is, if you keep hitting the gas and brake, won't the car get ruined?

Jiang Xinyi told Tang Xinrou her dissatisfaction over why Zheng Yanyan could, but she couldn't.

"Oh dear sister!"

Tang Xinrou felt helpless upon hearing this and said, sis, that girl is ancient history, you and brother-in-law are the ones meant for the long run.

Using a car metaphor, she's just like a used and discarded car.

"You're supposed to be driven by brother-in-law for a lifetime!"

Jiang Xinyi thought that made some sense.

But she couldn't help but say: "Your words make some sense, but for some reason, they sound weird to me."

"Uh."

After this incident, Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi indeed entered a brief honeymoon phase, while Liu Jing was out of the country, Zhou Yuwen was mostly at Jiang Xinyi's place spending time with her.

Then when Liu Jing returned, Jiang Xinyi practically stayed in the villa living a two-person world with Zhou Yuwen.

But Liu Jing was indeed more perceptive than other parents; just returning home for two days, she felt something was off with her daughter's demeanor, always giggling on the phone at home and avoiding her.

Then she got home very late every night, sneaking around.

Liu Jing tentatively asked Jiang Xinyi about her current situation with Zhou Yuwen.

Jiang Xinyi just said it's good, let's just keep it like this for now.

Liu Jing thought it was good to get acquainted.

"This kid is a bit better than your previous one, but maybe because he's young, he lacks stability. Guess who I met during my trip to Hucheng?"

Jiang Xinyi was curious.

Liu Jing said, the son of your Aunt Wang, he's back from abroad.

"You used to call him a little chubby, guess what he's like now?"

Feeling her mother's tone was wrong, Jiang Xinyi frowned and said, Mom, what are you talking about? I have a boyfriend already.

"Besides, aren't you satisfied with Zhou Yuwen too?"

Jiang Xinyi couldn't understand why her mother was like this, and Liu Jing acted very realistically, saying the past was the past, and now is now.

"Back then, I thought Yuwen was a promising young man, good-looking, smart, but his weaknesses are also obvious."

"I initially thought, you're six years older than him, you could easily handle him, but I never expected this boy had so many thoughts."

At this point, Jiang Xinyi's face wasn't looking great.

Liu Jing then said: "Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't be with him. You can continue seeing each other but pay a bit more attention during your relationship."

Back then, Jiang Xinyi's resentment towards her mother was why she dated You Changjin.

After meeting Zhou Yuwen, mother and daughter seldom found common ground, and mended their relationship a bit.

Now as her relationship with Zhou Yuwen was developing well, her mother pulled this on her, Jiang Xinyi was really irritated by this and asked her mother, what should I pay attention to?

Liu Jing said, like when you were seeing that little You, it was quite good.

"Hugging and cuddling, I don't oppose that, but Xinyi, you're an adult, you should gauge the extent of your relationships."

Jiang Xinyi gave a cold laugh and said, "You're too late, mom."

"?" Liu Jing was stunned, hadn't reacted before Jiang Xinyi had already returned to her room.

Leaving Liu Jing following behind her: "Wait, Xinyi, what do you mean?"

Jiang Xinyi was originally a rather stubborn girl, the more Liu Jing acted this way, the more reactive she became, and Zhou Yuwen was different from You Changjin. With You Changjin, Liu Jing could just cut off Jiang Xinyi's living supplies, show her the reality of class differences, then Jiang Xinyi would realize the impossibility between them.

But Zhou Yuwen was different, Zhou Yuwen himself was already relatively wealthy, cutting off Jiang Xinyi's supplies would mean directly handing her over to Zhou Yuwen.

Even so, Liu Jing couldn't accept her daughter being given to Zhou Yuwen just like that.

She couldn't understand, saying, weren't you guys fighting before, how come now...

Jiang Xinyi replied, well, you once forced me to be with Zhou Yuwen, aren't you going back on your word now?

Liu Jing excused herself saying it wasn't the same.

"Back then I didn't know he had a past girlfriend, you don't know about that Su Qing."

Just as Liu Jing was about to say something, Jiang Xinyi told Liu Jing that Su Qing was going abroad for studies.

"?"

Liu Jing was already troubled by Su Qing's situation, as she'd never been slapped across the face metaphorically by a girl half her age before.

If she were to settle the score with Su Qing, it would look like she lacked sophistication.

If she didn't, she felt unable to swallow her pride.

Now hearing that girl's leaving, Liu Jing felt Su Qing had some self-awareness.

Later Jiang Xinyi told Liu Jing it was Zhou Yuwen's arrangement.

"Zhou Yuwen knew I was upset over Su Qing, he wasn't saying he couldn't let it go, clearly he's handling things well, but what about you? Just because you're slightly dissatisfied with something, you think of introducing me to new boys. Mom, now I know why I'm 25 and unmarried; it's partly because of your upbringing." Jiang Xinyi looked disgusted.

Liu Jing was left speechless: "What are you talking about!"

"Isn't it true?"

Liu Jing didn't want to argue with her daughter, she said, I wasn't aware of the situation.

"If Yuwen got rid of that girl, it's actually okay."

"Besides, you guys already..."

Liu Jing looked at her daughter and said: "Then let's set the date, you're 25, marry sooner."

"What? I'm just 25, plus who talks about marriage so soon after starting to date, it's our matter, mom, don't meddle. Alright mom, I want to sleep, get out now."

With that said, Jiang Xinyi started showing her mom out.

Liu Jing was pushed out by her daughter, yet still shouted: "But think it over."

"Zhou Yuwen is only nineteen, he has plenty of time, whereas you're already 25, at this pace, two years later, if he switches girls, you'll be 27."

"Okay, okay, I know, no matter the outcome, I'm the one who made the choice, and I won't regret it."

She shut the door on her mother.

Liu Jing wanted to say something, but Jiang Xinyi, without hesitation, directly slammed the door shut.
