Call Me The Mother of Quick Transmigration

Chapter 35 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 15)

Li Su and Jiang Shan decided not to tell Wei Yue Er. They didn’t want to lie to her, but they were afraid of affecting her during her confinement period.

Li Su told Wei Ding Shan and Mother Wei about the matter after discussing it with Jiang Shan.

Mother Wei looked at Wei Ding Shan reproachfully. “Old Wei, what did you do? Didn’t you send her back to her hometown? Why did she come back?”

“I arranged for someone to send her back to her hometown, but I can’t have people watch her for a lifetime!” Wei Ding Shan said angrily. This Mei Li was lingering too much. “I’ll call and ask what happened.”

Wei Ding Shan went out to make a call and Mother Wei frowned. Li Su said, comfortingly, “Mother-in-law, don’t worry. My son is not that kind of person. This is just the wishful thinking of that shameless bitch.”

Mother Wei sighed. “Actually, Old Wei used money to send away Mei Li. Yue Er didn’t know about this. I didn’t agree with it. Now this has gotten out. What kind of people are we? We can’t rely on others; can we not rely on ourselves?1 With Yue Er’s pride, she can’t do such a thing. It was just Old Wei who loved his daughter too much, so he ended up doing that. Old Wei initially wanted to give her two hundred thousand, but that woman countered with five hundred thousand. Old Wei thought that it was just five hundred thousand. We didn’t think that that woman would be such a person! I have lived for a long time and have never seen such a person.”

Li Su shook her head. “This is called knowing a person from what they display and not knowing their heart. My son did not expect that Mei Li would be such a person. I need to thank my in-laws, otherwise my son would have been kept in the dark!”

Jiang Shan stood to the side, silent. Mother Wei glanced at him. “Jiang Shan, do you blame us?”

Jiang Shan raised his head and said, “To be honest, I was initially upset. I thought that you and dad were using money to do whatever you wanted. Later, as I got to know Yue Er, I discovered that Yue Er was not that kind of person. I sounded out Yue Er and she didn’t know about it. At that time, I thought that maybe you and dad made decisions for Yue Er. Later, hehe…” Jiang Shan smiled. “It is hard for people to dislike Yue Er. I also want to understand that, no matter what the reason was, Mei Li took the money and broke up with me. We are human, and we should look to the future. I know that you and dad did it for Yue Er’s sake, so I really don’t blame you.”

Mother Wei was a little moved. “Jiang Shan, it is great that you think so. Yue Er really doesn’t know. She likes you so much and her dad couldn’t stand it anymore, so…”

“Mum, stop talking. I know!” Jiang Shan comforted.

“Okay, mother-in-law, it doesn’t matter how we became a family. We are now a family and we should work together to live a good life. The rest isn’t important,” said Li Su as she patted the table.

Mother Wei wiped her tears. “Mother-in-law is right!”

At this time, Wei Ding Shan strode in, gloomy. “What’s wrong, Old Wei?” Mother Wei asked nervously.

“Mei Li was taken away by the police,” Wei Ding Shan said after he sat down.

“What’s the matter?” Mother Wei asked. Li Su and Jiang Shan also looked at Wei Ding Shan.

“Old Qian didn’t elaborate on the phone. He just mentioned that Mei Li killed someone in her hometown and is wanted by the police online. The hospital called the police. The police came and inquired about some things before she was taken away,” said Wei Ding Shan.

“Murder?” Mother Wei couldn’t help but exclaim.

Li Su frowned. “Could it have been her husband? I remembered her saying that her husband had been abusing her!”

Jiang Shan frowned. “I’ll take a look!” He stood up.

“Stop! Sit down! What did you want to do?” Li Su asked angrily.

“Mum, we were classmates. I can’t just idly sit by!” Jiang Shan said. “Don’t worry. I am just going to find out the details of the situation. I promise that I won’t meet with her.”

“Jiang Shan, sit down first. Don’t worry,” said Wei Ding Shan.

Jiang Shan looked at Li Su and sat down slowly.

“We will discuss this matter from a long-term perspective. What do you plan to do when you get to the police station? Do you know anyone at the police station?” Wei Ding Shan asked.

Jiang Shan thought about it carefully. He really didn’t know anyone in the area.

“I already talked to Old Qian. If there is any more news, he will tell me as soon as he can. Although, I don’t think Mei Li’s ending had anything to do with me, but if you need it, I can provide her with some help, like hiring a good lawyer for her. What do you think?” Wei Ding Shan said solemnly, as he stared at Jiang Shan. 

Jiang Shan also calmed down, and he nodded slowly. “Dad, you are right. I am too impatient.”

When Li Su saw Jiang Shan calm down, she said, “Son, don’t get confused. Although Mei Li is pitiful, she had also done some unsavoury things. What she has done has made her the person she is today. These people didn’t force her. Don’t gamble your happiness because of some fleeting sympathy. You need to think about Yue Er and Little Moon!”

When they spoke about his daughter, Jiang Shan was calm. He sighed. “I know, mum. Don’t worry. I won’t get confused.”

“It’s good to know. Don’t forget about Yue Er. She is still in confinement,” continued Li Su.

Jiang Shan nodded. He then jumped up suddenly. “We have been out for too long. Yue Er and Little Moon are waiting. Let’s head back!”

“What are you afraid of? Who can steal away Little Moon? Besides, there is also Nanny Yue!” Li Su said and rolled her eyes.

“That is not necessarily true. There are many kidnappers and traffickers now. Our Little Moon is so cute and beautiful!” Mother Wei could not sit still and got up hurriedly. She walked out anxiously.

Although Jiang Shan didn’t speak, his expression was the same as Mother Wei’s.

Li Su thought about this too. This issue was on the news. She was a little panicked as well and hurried to follow.

Although Wei Ding Shan looked disdainful, his actions weren’t slow at all.

The four of them hurried to the confinement centre. When they entered the room, Wei Yue Er was asleep and the crib was empty. The four of them were about to shout when Nanny Yue came out of the bathroom holding Little Moon. “Eh? Mr. Jiang is back? I just need to change Little Moon’s diapers.”

Jiang Shan hurriedly put down his keys and walked forward to take his daughter. He hugged her and only then did he feel relieved.

Mother Wei felt her legs were a little unsteady, so she sat on the sofa.

Wei Yue Er woke up when she heard movement. “Eh, mum, dad, husband, why are you all here?”

Among the four, Li Su seemed the calmest. “Oh, we were just discussing Little Moon’s one-month banquet. It just so happened that it is close, so I came over.”

“One-month banquet?” Wei Yue Er said excitedly. “Where will it be? Can I go? I am so bored here every day. I am also anxious.”

“You are so anxious… This is all for your own good,” said Mother Wei. “We are discussing it and if we want it to be a big thing, it should be at Jin Yu Man Tang!”

Wei Yue Er was a little worried. Jin Yu Man Tang was the best hotel in the area and it was expensive. She was worried that mother-in-law would be upset.

Li Su didn’t have any comments. “Jin Yu Man Tang is luxurious, but I have mentioned that the two of you can’t pay for the one-month banquet. You should let Jiang Shan take the money.”

“How can we not? Little Moon is also our precious granddaughter. We are grandparents. Why can’t we express our feelings this way?” Mother Wei asked anxiously.

“Of course you can express your feelings, but you are only giving them to Little Moon. Let Jiang Shan deal with the cost of Jin Yu Man Tang,” said Li Su. She then patted Jiang Shan on the shoulder. “There is no need to rush mum’s house. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it. Renting is good too. Spend it on Little Moon!”

Jiang Shan smiled. “Mum, don’t worry. I have money. I won’t skimp on your granddaughter and I will definitely buy you a house.” He then looked at Wei Ding Shan and Mother Wei. “Mum, dad, don’t worry. Little Moon is my precious daughter. I should spend money for the one-month banquet.”

Mother Wei wanted to say something else, but Wei Ding Shan said, “That’s right. Mother-in-law is right. If you want to express your feelings, you can do it in a different way!”

Wei Yue Er also persuaded them. “Yes, Jiang Shan and I are rich.”

Mother Wei saw Wei Ding Shan’s expression and smiled. She stopped talking.

After exiting the confinement centre, Wei Ding Shan and Mother Wei sat in the car. Mother Wei frowned. “You, why did you say those things? How much money does Jiang Shan have? How much can he spend on Little Moon? People will laugh.”

“You, don’t you have a sense of propriety? Little Moon’s surname is Jiang, and Jiang did not marry into our family. We are intervening too much. It isn’t good,” said Wei Ding Shan.

Mother Wei was stunned. She sighed. “Oh! Really!”

“Okay, if you want to express it, then express it in other ways. For example, donating shares!” Wei Ding Shan smiled.

Mother Wei’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? You are still clever!”

Wei Ding Shan smiled contentedly.

After Mother Wei and Wei Ding Shan left, Wei Yue Er was a little worried. She had been quietly observing Jiang Shan’s face. Jiang Shan noticed her attention and smiled slightly. “Okay, don’t worry. I know that mum and dad have good intentions. I won’t take it to heart.”

Wei Yue Er felt a little relieved. “I’m sorry! My mother is not a bad person. She just likes Little Moon too much.”

“Stupid, why are you apologising? It’s just that, I’m Little Moon’s father. This is the first time Little Moon will be introduced. I can’t let others steal my limelight as Little Moon’s father! Even if those two are Little Moon’s grandparents, it still won’t do,” said Jiang Shan with a smile.

Wei Yue Er smiled. “Husband, thank you. You are so kind!”

“Stupid, you are my wife. If I am not good to you, who should I be good to?” Jiang Shan embraced Wei Yue Er with a gentle smile on his face.

Li Su stood outside the door, smiling. She gently closed the door. It was better to talk about things in order to further their trust and understanding of each other. It was better than aimless quarrels and doubts.

She hoped they could continue like this! Li Su held her hands behind her back and went to visit someone else to chat. Her only interest was to gossip!

1.(兩條腿的蛤蟆不好找, 兩條腿的男人還不好找嗎？) Mother Wei says something about how ‘two-legged toads are hard to find, and how are two legged men also hard to find?’. I believe she is changing the saying “三條腿的蛤蟆不好找，兩條腿的男人多得是”, which roughly means that one can’t rely on others, only themselves. I think? Please correct me if I am wrong.
