Chapter 849 Zhenzhen is being pestered by David's mother
After Lucy's intimidation, He Minhong's family, feeling they were in the wrong, ultimately chose not to make a fuss.
After all, Zhou Chen had helped their family a lot in the past, and they felt that Zhou Chen had done more than enough for them. Who made that stupid woman He Minhong so blind and gave up on Zhou Chen and chose Qi Mu instead?
Even a good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed, let alone He Minhong, who had a miscarriage because of Qi Mu. Zhou Chen, this rich second-generation, has very high standards; he no longer finds He Minhong attractive.
Of course, after learning that Zhou Chen already had two girlfriends, He Minhong's parents were even less supportive of their relationship; they didn't want to embarrass themselves.
Fortunately, He Minhong also chose to compromise. She finally stopped asking to move back to 2202. Since she had already fallen out with Zhou Chen and the others, she had even less hope of going back.
He Minhong's father found her a new shared apartment, and only then did they feel relieved enough to leave He Minhong and return to their hometown.
Without He Minhong's harassment, the people on the 22nd floor felt a little uneasy. Given He Minhong's personality, he probably wouldn't give up so easily, right?
For several days, there was no news of He Minhong, leading the neighbors on the 22nd floor to believe that she might have gone back to her hometown with her parents.
Since they had all blocked He Minhong, she was out of contact and they couldn't be bothered to care anymore. Only Ye Zhenzhen would occasionally ask if they had seen He Minhong or if there was any news about her.
Unfortunately, no one could give an answer either. They could only shake their heads and indicate that they knew nothing. So the matter of He Minhong was left unresolved, and no one wanted to mention this troublesome man.
I thought life on the 22nd floor would return to normal, but trouble kept coming my way, this time it was Ye Zhenzhen who was in trouble.
While at work, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly received a call from David, who told her some baffling news: David said his mother had gone to Shanghai, possibly to find Ye Zhenzhen.
These words left Ye Zhenzhen somewhat bewildered. She had never seen what David's mother looked like, so why was she looking for her?
Perhaps knowing Ye Zhenzhen's question, David immediately explained, "Zhenzhen, I'm really sorry. My mom may have misunderstood our relationship. She thought you were my girlfriend, so she wanted to go to Shanghai to meet you."
Of course, this is just the surface reason. I don't want to hide it from you, but the real reason she went to Shanghai was probably to ask you for help.
You probably know a little about our family situation. Because of problems with the company's accounts, we were reported to the tax bureau, and after an investigation, my mother was released yesterday.
The company needs to pay a large sum of taxes now, otherwise my mother will have to go to jail.
But my dad has already taken all of my mom's money, so she simply doesn't have that much money to give.
While I was showering, my mom secretly looked at my phone and saw that we were in frequent contact. So she investigated your phone number, and after learning that you're from a wealthy family, she misunderstood.
After David explained it this way, Ye Zhenzhen immediately understood. Well, this was because of her status as a rich second-generation. David's mother wanted to establish a connection with her family so that she would have a reason to ask our family for help.
“Zhenzhen, I’ve already explained it to my mom. She obviously thinks I’m lying to her. If she comes looking for you, don’t worry about it.”
We don't want to involve you in our family's troubles, and we especially don't want any financial entanglements between us. That would make me feel inferior and unworthy of you.
It's clear that David hasn't given up on pursuing Ye Zhenzhen yet. If it involves interests, it would make David feel like he's living off her, and who knows if Ye Zhenzhen would look down on him?
"David, don't worry, I can handle this. Since it's your mother who misunderstood, we can clear up the misunderstanding later. However, your mother is probably destined to be disappointed this time."
Ye Zhenzhen made her stance clear. When the incident happened at the David family's house, Ye Zhenzhen inquired about their situation from her family. Her parents' advice was for Ye Zhenzhen to stay away from the David family.
If a couple is constantly scheming against each other, and there's no love but only self-interest among family members, then of course you should stay away from such a family.
Moreover, Ye Zhenzhen is an only child, and all of the Ye family's assets will belong to her in the future. They are afraid that Ye Zhenzhen will suffer losses in the future.
Living in such a calculating family, Ye Zhenzhen's parents didn't want her to have anything to do with David's family, otherwise David's mother would devour the entire Ye family without leaving a trace.
Having figured this out, Ye Zhenzhen didn't get involved even though she knew David needed help. She never expected that she would alarm David's mother today.
"Zhenzhen, it's good that you're confident you can handle it. I'm heading to Shanghai now. Contact me as soon as you have any news."
After exchanging a few polite words, the two hung up the phone. Ye Zhenzhen then sat in her seat in silence. Was this an undeserved disaster for her?
You should know that you're not dating David. If David's mother thinks she can control you through David, she's seriously underestimating herself.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Ye Zhenzhen still hadn't received a call from David's mother. She thought the matter was over and that David was just being overly suspicious.
Unexpectedly, just as Zhenzhen was walking towards her car, a woman blocked her way. Although Ye Zhenzhen had never seen David's mother's face, she immediately recognized the woman in front of her as David's mother. So this was the woman waiting for her here.
Just as Ye Zhenzhen was wondering, the other person spoke first, asking, "You must be Ye Zhenzhen. You may not know me, so let me introduce myself. I am David's mother."
I heard he got a girlfriend from Shanghai, so I came here today to see her. I never expected Miss Ye to be so beautiful. Our David is so lucky!
David's mother immediately began praising Ye Zhenzhen, clearly with ulterior motives—to leave a good impression on Ye Zhenzhen.
Unfortunately, David's mother was destined to be disappointed, and of course, Ye Zhenzhen once again used Zhou Chen as a shield.
"Auntie, you may have misunderstood. I do know a friend named David, but he is not my boyfriend. My boyfriend's name is Zhou Chen."
Everyone in the research institute knows my boyfriend. If you don't believe me, I can introduce you to him sometime.
Oh dear, David must have said something that caused you to misunderstand like this; it's really inappropriate.
"Let me emphasize again, Auntie, David is just a friend, not my boyfriend. I hope you won't say that again next time, so as not to upset my boyfriend."
After Ye Zhenzhen finished speaking, she turned around and was about to get into the car and leave when David's mother blocked her way again. Obviously, she had come all the way to Shanghai and couldn't be dismissed by Ye Zhenzhen's few words.
