The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

Having known Zhong Qing for nearly three years, this is Shen Mingzhu's first time visiting the Zhong family.

Although the Zhong family is not as luxurious as the Ning family, nor as elegant as the Yan family, it is still more spacious than ordinary houses.

The European-style building is said to have housed many celebrities before it fell into the hands of the Zhong family.

The interior decoration of the Zhong family can be called magnificent, especially the rosewood furniture in the house and the precious porcelain that can be seen everywhere, which is enough to prove the wealth of the Zhong family.

Shen Mingzhu kept a close eye on her daughter throughout the whole process, fearing that her daughter would accidentally break the expensive ornaments in the living room, and the whole family would not be able to afford the compensation if they sold it.

Seeing her nervousness, Zhong Qing asked Zhong Yin to take Pei Ziheng and Guo Guo to play in the recreation room, while she took Shen Mingzhu to visit her room upstairs.

As for Pei Yang, he sat in the living room with Yan Yi and looked bored.

Zhong Min was still young and was afraid that Pei Yang would be uncomfortable, so Zhong Qing specially invited Yan Yi to the house to temporarily help entertain the guests on behalf of the male host.

"Dr. Yan is not young anymore. When are you going to cultivate with Miss Zhong?"

"next year."

"Really? That would be great."

"Where is it?"

When you get married, I won't have to worry about you trying to steal my wife.

Pei Yang thought to himself and replied: "My wife and children are on the hot bed. You will understand after you get married."

Yan Yi smiled and asked him, "What about you? You are not young anymore, haven't you ever thought about starting your own career? You follow your wife around every day, are you not afraid of being said to be a softie?"

Pei Yang replied shamelessly: "What's wrong with eating soft rice? Others can't even eat it if they want."

The two were bickering downstairs, while Shen Mingzhu upstairs was dumbfounded by Zhong Qing's display of jade jewelry.

There is a song whose lyrics are black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, blue and gray, which are just right at this time.

Not only are jade rich in color, they are also of high quality.

Although Zhong Jiping is worse than a beast, he is very generous to Zhong Qing. In other words, he wants to use money to make Zhong Qing an obedient canary.

This is also one of the main reasons why Chu Yuqing is jealous and hateful towards Zhong Qing.

She is Mrs. Zhong, the mistress of the Zhong family, but Zhong Qing's car, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all better than hers.

"You can pick whatever you like."

After hearing Zhong Qing's words, Shen Mingzhu pointed a few fingers.

Zhong Qing was about to open the cabinet and wrap up what Shen Mingzhu was referring to, but Shen Mingzhu said, "Except for these few, I like them all."

Zhong Qing was slightly stunned.

Shen Mingzhu smiled like a flower.

"I'm just teasing you. A gentleman doesn't take what others like. I actually have no particular preference for jade. I don't usually wear the bracelet you gave me before."

"Then what do you like? I bought it for you."

Shen Mingzhu smiled back, "That's a lot, but liking it doesn't mean you have to own it. It's quite satisfying to see it up close like this."

Zhong Qing is indeed a top socialite. In addition to a display cabinet of jade jewelry, she also has a whole wardrobe of cheongsams, various types of precious jewelry, shoes, bags, clothing, etc.

Even worse than Zhuang Xueqi's cloakroom.

The ancestors of the Zhong family have been practicing medicine for generations. At its most glorious time, the Zhong family had medical clinics and pharmacies all over the country.

Later, when the new country was established, the Zhong family responded to the call and donated hundreds of medicine formulas handed down from their ancestors for free, and jointly founded the No. [-] Pharmaceutical Factory with the provincial government.

Although First Pharmaceutical is state-owned, half of the shares are held by individuals.

Among them, Zhong Jiping holds the largest share of individual shares.

After Zhong Jiping's accident, Zhong Qing resisted falling out with Chu Yuqing in order to get Chu Yuqing to sign and become the agent for Zhong Jiping's equity.

Chu Yuqing thought her husband could be saved. On the eve of her departure, as the first-order heir, Chu Yuqing signed a power of attorney agreeing to hold the shares on behalf of Zhong Qing.

I thought that when my husband comes back, I can get the equity back.

But he didn't expect that Zhong Qing secretly planned to kill his father and seize power.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu walking excitedly in her dressing room, Zhong Qing felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable in her heart.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

You can have friends openly without worrying about your friends being implicated by you. With the feeling of freedom, even the air seems to become sweet.

Shen Mingzhu could clearly feel the changes in Zhong Qing's body. His brows relaxed and he became relaxed.

But she didn't think much about it, thinking that Zhong Qing was in such a good state because she was at home.

"Is your father's health okay?"

Shen Mingzhu only knew that Father Zhong was seriously ill and had gone abroad for treatment. The specific cause and condition were not clear.

"Well, I feel relieved that my mother is taking care of me."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu changed the topic, "Qingqing, how are you doing lately? How is the progress of what you want to do?"

"It went well."

"That's good."

Zhong Qing looked at her, "Mingzhu, I promised you before that I would tell you everything exactly, but I regretted it. I want to retain some beauty and dignity in front of you, can I not tell you?"

"of course can."

"Aren't you angry?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Being friends, in addition to helping and encouraging each other, you should also have understanding and respect. No one wants to expose their unbearable scars to outsiders, and so do I."

Zhong Qing reached out to hug her and said softly: "Mingzhu, thank you. Being able to meet you and be friends with you is the greatest luck in my life."

Shen Mingzhu patted her back and said, "To each other, you also helped me a lot."

Zhong Qing hugged her tighter, "We will be lifelong friends, right?"

Not hearing Shen Mingzhu's answer, Zhong Qing asked pitifully: "What's wrong, aren't you willing?"

Shen Mingzhu let go of the other party, pursed her lips, and asked the question that had been hidden in her heart these days——

"Qingqing, what happened on the day I fainted?"

The smile on Zhong Qing's face gradually faded.

Shen Mingzhu looked at her, "Did your mother drug me?"

"sorry."

"What does she want to do?"

"No matter what she wanted to do, she failed in the end, and she will not pose any threat to you in the future. I can guarantee you with my personality."

Shen Mingzhu chuckled, "But how do I know if you will lie to me again in the future?"

Zhong Qing hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to lie to you, I just couldn't tell it, and I didn't want to lose you as a friend. Mingzhu, no matter before or in the future, I will do my best to protect you. Please trust me, okay?" "

"So, I just fell asleep that day because you arrived in time to save me?"

Zhong Qing nodded.

"What would have happened to me if you hadn't shown up that day?"

Zhong Qing shook her head lightly, her tone full of pleading, "Mingzhu, can you please stop asking? I guarantee that you will be safe in the future, and my mother will not come back in a short time."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu suddenly thought of the injuries on Zhong Qing's body and couldn't help but shudder.

"Is your injury because of Mrs. Zhong? She treats you...she doesn't even let you go? Aren't you her daughter? Is she still a human being?"

In the last sentence, Shen Mingzhu was full of anger.

No matter as a woman or a mother, she could not understand Chu Yuqing's behavior.

Seeing Zhong Qing's sad expression and unwillingness to speak, Shen Mingzhu took a deep breath and let it out again.

"Qingqing, I won't force you to say anything you don't want to say. I can understand you, but I can't forgive you."

"You saved me that day, but if you had told me about Mrs. Zhong's malice from the beginning, I would never have given her the chance to hurt me."

"It was your concealment that put me in a dangerous situation."

Zhong Qing was speechless.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu turning around to leave, she hurriedly took Shen Mingzhu's hand, "Mingzhu, are you not going to be friends with me?" (End of Chapter)
