She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1757: Chapter 1834: The Lawyer Visits

Zhao Lanzi spoke a lot to Sheng Ning on the phone, sharing every detail of the children’s daily activities. The little boy had already learned to walk, wandering all around, while the little girl cast cold glances, her nose adorably scrunched.

”Has the little boy’s name been decided?”

”Not yet! Your father-in-law is uneducated, I’m afraid he might come up with something like Xu Dazhuang, which would be awful.” Zhao Lanzi’s words were full of disdain. ”I plan to have my son choose the name when he returns. It’s only right that one names their own child.”

It’s clear she cares deeply for her son, highlighting that Xu Xianxiong holds the lowest status in the family.

Sheng Ning could already imagine how displeased her father-in-law would be; she intended to make a gesture, but her mother-in-law halted her.

”By the way, how’s Qigang? When is he coming back? This assignment has been taking far too long.”

At the mention of this, Sheng Ning felt her breathing tighten more than usual. After a long silence, she tried to speak in the most relaxed tone: ”He’s back.”

Zhao Lanzi instantly sensed something amiss on the phone. Her daughter-in-law’s voice was usually much lighter and happier when mentioning Qigang. Could it be marital discord?

This notion made her want to grab a rolling pin and rush to the rescue team to give that rascal a beating. Ungrateful brat, not knowing how to cherish his wife, what good is he?

”Why didn’t he call home upon returning? That boy has toughened up.”

”Probably busy!” Sheng Ning stiffly brushed off the topic, not wanting to continue.

If Zhao Lanzi couldn’t see through it now, she’d truly be clueless. ”Ningning, did Qigang make you angry? Tell me, I’ll stand up for you. If that fool dares upset you, I’ll knock his teeth out!”

”It’s okay, Mom, I’m fine.” Sheng Ning sniffed, ”I’ve got things to do, so I’ll hang up now. I’ll call again in a few days.” She couldn’t continue, fearing she might break down and cry.

Sheng Ning, you swore long ago never to shed a tear again.

Be strong.

Feng Zhenzhen hadn’t stepped outside since yesterday; business wasn’t urgent within a day or two, more pressing is the matter of the family head. Seeing the family head hung up the phone, she brought a pot of black tea and poured a cup, holding a thick stack of papers.

”Family Head, these are faxed over from Demira. Details of Victoria Theater’s income and its next phase operating plans.”

”Alright.” Sheng Ning nodded, her wandering thoughts reined back.

”Family Head, President Xu has been standing outside for almost a day.” Feng Zhenzhen said tactfully, ”Standing there like this isn’t a solution!”

”I know.” Sheng Ning nodded.

Feng Zhenzhen’s expression was a bit unusual, ”Family Head, the list of lawyers you let me select is almost done. Today, one who I think is quite good arrived and is waiting in the guest room!”

”Okay, I’ll go check.” Sheng Ning stood and strode towards the guest room.

The design of the house followed Feng Manor, with the guest room split into two levels upstairs and downstairs. This time, they invited the best domestic lawyer, and out of caution, Feng Zhenzhen arranged for them to be upstairs.

In the entire villa, besides the master bedroom, the guest room offers the best view. Sitting on the sofa there gives a clear sight of Xu Qigang standing at the doorway below.

As Sheng Ning entered, the elegant lawyer was staring blankly at Xu Qigang below, his eyes filled with disbelief.

”Ahem...” Sheng Ning cleared her throat, bringing the lawyer back to reality.
