Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 853 - 353 Qi People's Fortune Progress +1

In Zhou Yuwen's room, Su Qing looked absolutely bitter, as if she had deep-seated resentment. She was very frustrated, feeling that Zhou Yuwen's family should have been her territory. Even if Zheng Yanyan came over, Su Qing could explain that she was her roommate or Zhou Yuwen's classmate, which shouldn't threaten her position.

But she hadn't expected that as soon as Zheng Yanyan arrived, her former mother-in-law would immediately switch sides.

And it seemed like her relationship with Zheng Yanyan was remarkably good.

Su Qing told Zhou Yuwen that she had let her guard down. Due to her experiences from a past life, she had taken it for granted this time.

"I let my guard down, truly let my guard down."

Su Qing sat on Zhou Yuwen's bed, mumbling incessantly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen sighed and said, "You don't need to overthink it. You and my mom were never on the same wavelength anyway; this situation was bound to happen sooner or later."

Mother-in-laws and daughters-in-law are natural enemies. Although they might get along well at first, eventually they're certain to grow tired of each other.

Just like in the past life, Zhou Yuwen felt indifferent about having children.

But his mother was undoubtedly eager to hold a grandson, visiting Jinling frequently and even making a point to talk to Su Qing about it.

Su Qing, being a modern woman, naturally disliked her mother-in-law's constant interference every few days.

This led to conflicts between the two of them.

Later, when Zhou Yuwen divorced Su Qing, Yang Lirong even commented, "Good riddance!"

She felt that her son was exceptional enough to find someone better.

Whenever these past events were brought up, Su Qing felt a great deal of grievance. She asked Zhou Yuwen, "Did I do something wrong? I married you, not her. Plus, we agreed back then to only have kids after our careers stabilized. But look at her, shoving all those herbal remedies at me every day."

"Ahem!"

To be honest, it was hard to determine who was in the wrong. Zhou Yuwen thought Su Qing wasn't wrong.

But Mrs. Zhou had her own rationale, saying, "The house you two live in was bought by our family. Isn't having children the least you could do?"

In the end, wasn't it the divorce that made everything better?

The main issue was Su Qing's regret.

Seeing Su Qing's face full of grievance now, Zhou Yuwen could only stroke Su Qing's head, advising her to do as she did in her past life—simply ignore his mother.

"Anyway, I'm on your side." For Zhou Yuwen, being caught in the middle as a son was truly exhausting—he had to tell each person what they wanted to hear.

Su Qing grasped Zhou Yuwen's hand and muttered, "Let me tell you, Zhou Yuwen, if Zheng Yanyan really marries you, she'll be even harder to deal with than me. Believe it or not."

"That, I truly believe." Zhou Yuwen didn't deny it at all. Based on what Zheng Yanyan did last semester, her tendencies were pretty clear. But the thing with Zheng Yanyan was, having just met the family, she was still good at putting on a saintly act.

Originally, Su Qing wanted to keep complaining about Zheng Yanyan, but before she had the chance, Zheng Yanyan suddenly pushed the door open in displeasure: "Still pretending, huh?"

Faced with Zheng Yanyan's question, Su Qing wasn't the slightest bit intimidated. She met her gaze directly with raised brows and responded coldly, "You call yourself not pretending? Can you honestly say you'd keep washing dishes for Zhou Yuwen every day like today if you married him?"

"What business is it of yours whether I pretend or not? At least today's situation proves that Auntie is a person with good values!"

"Good values?" Su Qing was stunned by this remark. If Zheng Yanyan had used any other words to describe Mrs. Zhou, she might have let it slide—but good values?

With righteous confidence, Zheng Yanyan said, "Absolutely! At the very least, she doesn't condone women who sabotage other people's relationships."

"Me, sabotage other people's relationships!?"

Su Qing grew increasingly incredulous with each passing word. What did she mean by sabotaging other people's relationships? If anything, her own relationship had been sabotaged!

Back when the school semester started, everything was clearly communicated!

She and Zhou Yuwen had been dating since high school!

At that time, Zheng Yanyan even said she would help Su Qing pursue Zhou Yuwen. And now?

Thinking about this, Su Qing became furious, jumping off the bed as if preparing to argue fiercely with Zheng Yanyan.

Yet Zheng Yanyan didn't back down either. "You and Zhou Yuwen had already broken up back then! Besides, the two of you weren't even truly in a relationship. I admit I wronged you, but now that I'm with Zhou Yuwen, don't you think your constant meddling is meaningless? If it weren't for you, would I have broken up with Zhou Yuwen before?"

"You admit you wronged me, yet you still have the audacity to accuse me!?"

Their argument started on a low note at first.

But soon escalated, growing louder and louder, making Zhou Yuwen panic. He hurriedly stepped in to stop them, saying, "Alright, alright, ladies. This isn't school—you want me to get punished by family rules or what? Stop arguing. Shh! Shh!"

Zhou Yuwen firmly separated the two, with Su Qing still wanting to shout but getting her mouth tightly covered by Zhou Yuwen. He made a serious gesture for silence.

They really couldn't fight anymore; if they continued, it would inevitably turn physical!

After checking outside to ensure there was no one in the hallway, Zhou Yuwen locked the door from the inside.

He looked at the two girls, neither of whom was willing to yield.

He couldn't help but sigh and say, "Aren't you all supposed to be good sisters? What's there to argue about?"

"I'm not her good sister!"

The two replied simultaneously.

Then they exchanged glances and simultaneously let out snorts of disdain.

Zhou Yuwen sat down and sighed, thinking to himself, why do you put yourselves through this?

Just as Zhou Yuwen struggled to figure out how to resolve the tension between the two girls...
