Chapter 39
Wang Yaning and Liu Hanyue went to Luo Zhengzheng's place to talk to her, but unexpectedly, she came to Yu Shuang's place and followed over.
Once inside, Liu Hanyue glanced around but didn't see little Chengjia and little Chengze: "Where are the two children?"
Yu Shuang smiled and pointed inside: "Auntie pushed Chengze to the toy room to play, and Chengjia went with him."
Liu Hanyue and Wang Yaning sat down, and Yu Shuang poured them a glass of water.
Liu Hanyue looked at Luo Zhengzheng with a smile and said with satisfaction, "This time Su Zhilan's face should turn green with anger."
Su Zhilan's previous online comments were clearly aimed at Fourth Younger Sister-in-law, which infuriated her. Unexpectedly, Fourth Younger Brother posted that VB message online today.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the VB message seems to say nothing. It said everything. Fourth Younger Brother was really wicked.
However, the Fourth Younger Brother's performance this time deserves praise.
Luo Zhengzheng smiled slightly, but before she could speak, Wang Yaning and Yu Shuang asked at the same time, "What's wrong?"
Liu Hanyue briefly recounted the whole story, saying, "Su Zhilan and our elder sister are quite close. They can't keep up their antics in the capital, so they've taken it online to let the whole world see the sour and mean faces of this group of rich young ladies."
Wang Yaning said, "Birds of a feather flock together. Ever since I married into the Gu family, our elder sister and Su Zhilan have always been on the same page. She had always looked down on me, thinking that my family background is not good enough and that I am a burden to Gu Ming and cannot help him. Please, it was Gu Ming who pursued me, not me who pursued him. If she has to blame someone, blame herself for being a bad person. Even her younger brother doesn't listen to her."
Liu Hanyue nudged her arm, pouting, and said, "She was even worse when she was little. She didn't like mother-in-law and always went against her. Later, Dad sent her to her maternal grandmother's house, and only then did she behave herself a bit. She's always looked down on me and never respects me. Do you think she likes me being her younger sister-in-law?"
As the two talked, they started complaining about the elder sister-in-law.
Luo Zhengzheng and Yu Shuang didn't have those concerns. Although they also called Gu Hualuo "elder sister," they really didn't take her seriously. After all, their own husbands didn't care about her, so they wouldn't pay any attention to a sister who wasn't related to them by blood.
After complaining about elder sister, Liu Hanyue started complaining about her husband: "At least elder brother doesn't go out and mess around. Gu Xianhua has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and is more outspoken than anyone else, but he doesn't have much ability himself and can only be jealous of others behind their backs."
Wang Yaning shook her head: "Gu Ming is just an old-fashioned man. Just because he hasn't gone out and messed around doesn't mean he's a good husband. I told him that Second and Fourth Younger Sister-in-laws have gone out to work, and Cheng Rui is in school now. Since I'm at home with nothing to do, I can go out and open a shop or find a job, but he wouldn't agree. He doesn't want me to go out and show my face in public. He also said that he doesn't want me to learn bad things from you and Fourth Younger Sister-in-law."
Luo Zhengzheng snorted twice: "I always thought Elder Brother was a good person. So he thinks that interacting with me and Second Elder sister-in-law will corrupt you? How are we bad?"
Liu Hanyue was also puzzled when talking about this topic: "Gu Hualuo, Eldest Brother and Gu Xian all have the same mother, but they were all so awkward in their behavior. Look at Third Younger Brother and Fourth Younger Brother. They are obviously much more outstanding, especially the Fourth Younger Brother, who is the most outstanding. After all, mother-in-law is very capable."
There were always regrets in life. She came from a good family and wanted to find a husband who she knew well and would love and who would cherish her for the rest of her life. But she ended up with such a jerk.
In contrast, Luo Zhengzheng casually found a husband, but ended up with a good husband like Fourth Younger Brother who dotes on his wife, protects her, and was generous to her.
Wang Yaning glanced at Liu Hanyue and thought to herself, "You don't even watch your mouth. What do you mean by saying that Gu Ming, Gu Xian, and Gu Hualuo are all from the same mother and their characters are terrible? At least she was the first wife. Even though she later divorced and passed away, you can't badmouth the former mother-in-law. As for the children not being capable, you could only say that they were born without talent."
Furthermore, don’t what was up with Gu Ling's biological mother. How could a woman who secretly gave birth to a child, then abandoned the child to Father-in-law and never cared about the child. How could the son be expected to be like his mom?
Gu Shi was the happiest, with parents-in-law by his side and raising him very well.
But one couldn't blame the mother-in-law. She managed a big company and had time to raise her own children. Did she really have time to raise her stepson? It was only if they're willing to let her teach them.
In short, the reason why Gu Ming, Gu Xian, and Gu Hualuo were not of good character or capable at work was definitely not the fault of the former mother-in-law and current mother-in-law. If one had to be blamed, then it could only be said that Father-in-law did not manage them well.
Speaking of Gu Xian, Liu Hanyue was extremely annoyed: "I'm not going to talk about them anymore, it makes me angry. I'm going to see how things are going on VB this time."
After saying that, she opened her phone, clicked on VB trending topics, and found that the VB post by Gu Shi had reached the top of the trending list. She scrolled down to see what other trending topics were trending today, and surprisingly found a trending topic in the twenties.
#Which VB account does Ms. Luo have?#
When she clicked in, she saw that Director Lu had asked for Zhengzheng's account under the Fourth Younger Brother's VB post. Netizens discovered that the Fourth Younger Brother was not following anyone except Chen Ze, which immediately sparked a discussion. Everyone started looking for which VB account belonged to Ms. Luo, or whether she had not registered an account at all.
She exclaimed in surprise, realizing she didn't seem to have Fourth Younger Sister-in-law’s VB account either. She looked up at Luo Zhengzheng and asked, "Zhengzheng, do you have a VB account? If so, please follow me."
Luo Zhengzheng opened her phone and saw Gu Shi's trending topic at the top of the list. She then opened Liu Hanyue's VB page below and followed her.
Liu Hanyue noticed a new person among her followers and asked, "Is this 'thriving' you?"
Luo Zhengzheng nodded with a smile.
Liu Hanyue clicked on it and followed her.
Then she discovered that Fourth Younger Sister-in-law had posted a lot of VB messages. She clicked on them one by one and read them. After reading them, she burst out laughing: "You posted the photos of Fourth Younger Brother killing geese when he went back to maternal home online. Aren't you afraid he'll come after you? That's so un-domineering of a CEO."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yaning leaned over with interest: "Let me SEE too."
Yu Shuang took out her phone: "Follow Zhengzheng directly and watch it on your own phone." After saying that, she searched for Luo Zhengzheng's VB account.
Luo Zhengzheng laughed and said, "It was just a picture of the back. Besides, nobody pays attention to my VB account. Look, nobody's watching it."
Liu Hanyue gave her a meaningful look, thinking to herself that no one had paid attention before, but now everyone was looking for Ms. Luo's VB account. Once she followed Zhengzheng, some clever netizens would definitely follow steps and find Zhengzheng.
She asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that people will find out this is your account?"
Luo Zhengzheng rolled her eyes at her: "What's there to be afraid of? Since I've already posted those VB videos, I'm not afraid of others seeing them. There's nothing that can't be seen. They're just everyday things from life. If they want to see them, then go ahead."
Liu Hanyue smilingly said, "In that case, I won't unfollow you."
Luo Zhengzheng thought to herself, "It would be strange if you followed me and then unfollowed me."
Luo Zhengzheng turned off the trending topic about Gu Shi and then discovered the trending topic below: #Which VB account does Ms. Luo have?#
She clicked on the link and burst out laughing. These people were really something. Since Director Lu wanted to know her VB account, she simply followed Director Lu directly.
Wang Yaning found Luo Zhengzheng's VB account and, after reading her daily life posts, couldn't help but feel envious: "Fourth Younger Brother is really great. He's so good to your family. Your parents dote on you. They bring you whatever you like. That's what parents call a warm coat. We never get that kind of treatment when we go back to our maternal home. Although my parents treats me well, they still ask me to help my brothers. If I refuse, they say I'm heartless. But really, do I have the capability to help them?"
After scrolling, Yu Shuang was naturally envious. She looked at Wang Yaning and said, "Actually, it's the same. At least your parents don't favor boys over girls. My parents treat me like water spilled from a cup after marriage. They don't care about my life at all. Every time I go back to maternal home, they ask me to help my elder brother. I couldn’t be bothered to go back to maternal home now."
Liu Hanyue said casually, "Why are we bringing up unpleasant things again?"
Wang Yaning: "......"
Yu Shuang: "......"
They didn't want to talk about it, but that was just how life was. They couldn't help but keep thinking about it.
Liu Hanyue looked at them and said, "You guys Are just bored. Once you have something to do, you won't think about IT so much."
Luo Zhengzheng chimed in, "I think Second Elder Sister-in-law is right. Once you have a job, your time will be filled with work, and you won't have much time to overthink things."
Wang Yaning and Yu Shuang seemed to be deep in thought. Should they really go out and find a job? Or perhaps they could invest in a small business themselves?
As the group was talking, little Chengjia's voice suddenly came from the children's toy room reciting a poem: “When I was young, I did not know the moon, and called it a white jade plate. [1] "
After reciting this song, he started singing "goose goose goose" again.
Wang Yaning turned to Luo Zhengzheng: "Jiajia is so young, and you've already started teaching him to recite poems?"
Luo Zhengzheng said with a smile, "His dad taught him. He has a good memory and can memorize things quickly."
Wang Yaning wanted to envy her again: "Chengrui has a good memory, but he doesn't like to study. You have to say nice things to him to get him to recite poems."
After reciting "Goose, Goose, Goose," little Chengjia started on Spring slumbers unaware of morn.
Wang Yaning's parents were both teachers, so she naturally adore children who loves learning and reciting poetry. She stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."
Liu Hanyue naturally agreed. Watching Jiajia recite poems was much better than the women complaining about their husbands and their families, right?
The group walked into the toy room and saw Jiajia lying next to the stroller, holding his younger brother's hand and reciting poems to him. He had already recited "The Moon Shines Before My Bed" by now.
Little Jiajia noticed that his mom and few aunts and left them be. He was engrossed in reciting poems to Younger Brother.
The toy room was covered with mats, and the group sat down on them.
Watching little Chengjia, Wang Yaning couldn't help but say, "This child is young, but he can sit still. The key is that he is so patient. Even when we came, his attention was not diverted. It's really rare. His grades in school will not be bad in the future."
Liu Hanyue leaned against Luo Zhengzheng: "Doesn't the Tao Te Ching say that stillness gives rise to concentration, concentration gives rise to wisdom, and wisdom leads to composure? Fourth Younger Brother had always had this personality since he was a child. Jiajia takes after his dad. Look how composed Fourth Younger Brother is now. He invested so much money in developing mobile phones, and no one believed in him. But did he get anxious? He remained as steady as Mount Tai."
Hearing their words, Luo Zhengzheng smiled. They were right. Chengjia had never caused her any worry about his studies.
Yu Shuang looked at the three of them: "What are we having for lunch? I'll get someone to prepare it?"
Luo Zhengzheng stretched and yawned: "Anything is fine. I'll eat and then go back for a nap."
The group chatted for a while longer, but when they couldn't hear Jiajia's voice anymore, Luo Zhengzheng looked up and saw that he had been reciting poems to his younger brother and had managed to lull him to sleep. He also managed to lull himself to sleep. Luo Zhengzheng went over and planned to take him home to sleep.
Liu Hanyue looked at Chengjia and said, "If I had such an obedient son, I would like to have one too."
Wang Yaning smilingly said, "Then hurry up and give birth."
Liu Hanyue shook her head. With Gu Xian’s personality, forget it.
Yu Shuang said, "Let him sleep in the room."
Luo Zhengzheng turned around: "It's just a few minutes' walk."
Yu Shuang called out, "Then will you come over for the meal later?"
Luo Zhengzheng nodded.
She took her son home, ate lunch at Yu Shuang's place, and then went back to take a nap. Unbeknownst to her, netizens had already found her VB through Liu Hanyue and Director Lu's VB and their focus shifted again.
