Chapter 560: I Really Am a Two-Faced Mother-in-Law

w.a.n.g Cuiping straightened her expression and felt a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have called him.

“What are you two doing together? Are you busy with work?”

“It’s not work, we’re working on getting a company reimburs.e.m.e.nt.” Lin Yi said.

“A while ago, I went back to Yangcheng with her, but she was on a business trip and went back to her hometown. However, when she came back, she forgot to ask the hotel for an invoice, so she encountered some trouble when she tried to get reimbursed.”

“Reimbursed?”

“The leaders in Yangcheng didn’t know that she would be following me, so they only prepared a room for me. She didn’t have a place to stay, so she had to book another room for herself. Now, we have to try to get the hospital to reimburse her.”

Upon hearing this, w.a.n.g Cuiping and Ji Qingyan’s expressions improved significantly.

A man and a woman were alone in another city. When they were resting at night, they even booked two rooms. This was already very telling.

If the two of them really had an unspeakable secret, there was no need to book two rooms. Moreover, no one knew about the trip, so it was completely unnecessary.

“Sigh, you’re colleagues, and you’re quite well-off. Why didn’t you just help her get a room? Why make her spend money?”

“Our Director Li is a very upright person. She doesn’t take advantage of others easily,” Lin Yi said.

“Also, did you know that she actually had more than 500 yuan from her own pocket that day? She had to spend more than 400 yuan staying in the hotel, but even so, she didn’t let me pay. Just tell me how upright this person is. When the other male doctors in our hospital go on a business trip with Director Li, their wives won’t think too much about it.”

“That… that girl is really not bad.”

w.a.n.g Cuiping suddenly became nervous.

It wasn’t because of anything serious, but because Lin Yi mentioned the 500 yuan.

When the two of them came to Yangcheng, she had given Li Chuhan a red packet containing 500 yuan.

If Ji Qingyan found out about this, wouldn’t it be equivalent to slapping her own face?

If that was the case, she could just pack her things and leave right now.

w.a.n.g Cuiping cursed herself a few times in her heart.

‘I really am a two-faced mother-in-law.’

This was also the essence of Lin Yi’s entire plan.

It could be considered as using 500 yuan to threaten w.a.n.g Cuiping and pull her into his camp.

At the same time, it also created an unintentional illusion.

This move was simply perfect. It covered all the details.

Beside them, Ji Qingyan cleared her throat and did not notice the strange conversation between the mother and son.

He mouthed to w.a.n.g Cuiping, wanting her to ask about the car.

It was obvious that the knot in Ji Qingyan’s heart had mostly dissipated. She just wanted to find out the truth.

At this point, w.a.n.g Cuiping wanted to hang up.

She was afraid that Lin Yi would spill the beans about the 500 yuan red packet.

However, since Ji Qingyan had asked, she could only bite the bullet and continue pushing.

“Son, when you went back to Yangcheng that day, you said that you were driving off to do something. Why did you get a car?”

w.a.n.g Cuiping’s question was very smart and cleverly structured.

She had created the perfect alibi for himself.

“I was going to Beiqiao Town, which has a really poor mountain road, so I bought an off-road vehicle,” Lin Yi said.

“When I was working, there was an accident which Director Li helped me handle. After thanking her, forced her to accept the car as thanks.”

“So that’s what happened.” w.a.n.g Cuiping nodded. She was very satisfied with Lin Yi’s answer.

“Actually, that Mercedes-Benz G is not bad. I wanted to buy one for your daughter-in-law too.”

“That might work. But, you’re so rich, so you should buy my daughter-in-law a better car.”

“But this matter turned sour. The matter of me and Director Li going to Yangcheng was exposed. They claim that I was fooling around. Just thinking about it makes me annoyed.”

“Did such a thing really happen?!” w.a.n.g Cuiping pretended to be surprised.

“That’s right. Fortunately, she knows me well. Someone as kind-hearted, thrifty, smart, virtuous, and cute as her shouldn’t misunderstand this.”

Ji Qingyan turned her head around and snorted softly. Her expression was extremely arrogant.

“My daughter-in-law is indeed outstanding, but it’s natural for her to misunderstand something like this. You have to explain it to her.”

“Don’t worry, it’s impossible for her to misunderstand. I’ve lived for more than twenty years, but I’ve never seen a woman more outstanding than her. I’m not stupid. How could I throw away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds? Why would I even bother with another woman?”

“You’re right. I’ve never seen anyone more outstanding than my daughter-in-law.”

Unknowingly, the mother and son had reached a consensus.

She had already praised Ji Qingyan to the skies.

“Alright, son. It’s getting late. You should rest early. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

As the saying goes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. In order to avoid exposing any flaws in their story, w.a.n.g Cuiping hurriedly hung up the phone.

This was because the discussion was enough.

Putting her phone aside, w.a.n.g Cuiping looked at Ji Qingyan.

“Daughter-in-Law, you saw it too. There’s nothing between the two of them. It’s all nonsense.”

“Besides, you heard it yourself. You have a very high status in his heart. How can you still worry about other women?”

“He’s also in the wrong. He doesn’t even know how to act to avoid suspicion,” said Ji Qingyan.

Truth be told, it was Lin Yi who had helped Ji Qingyan untie the knot in her heart. He had admitted that she was w.a.n.g Cuiping’s daughter-in-law.

In other words, he accepted their relationship in his heart, but he just did not express it.

“That’s on him. I’ll talk to him when I have time. He has a family and a job, so we have to be careful about this,” w.a.n.g Cuiping pretended to be serious.

“Yes, we have to talk about him.”

w.a.n.g Cuiping held Ji Qingyan’s hand and said kindly,

“Daughter-in-Law, since we’ve already smoothed things out, can you bring back this big box of things?”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to take it, but since you’re here, you have to go to Lin Yi’s house no matter what. I’ll bring you around.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Let’s go now.”

With that, w.a.n.g Cuiping took Ji Qingyan’s luggage and walked out the door.

They drove to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

…

Seeing Lin Yi hang up, Liang Ruoxu felt that as a woman, she had to give Lin Yi a thumbs up.

Not everybody could pull off such a lie.

If it were anyone else, such a huge storm would probably have erupted.

However, to Lin Yi, this was only a pa.s.sing shower. It calmed down before it could even make a splash.

Although he was handsome enough to be a sc.u.mbag, his actual behavior always depended on the situation.

If it were her, she would probably be tricked to death by Lin Yi without even noticing anything.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Lin Yi said.

“You’re acting as if I’m a sc.u.mbag.”
