78: It's quiet

From a distance, Wang Pingping also saw Xu Zimo and was about to walk over, but her Best Friend pulled her back.

"Are you stupid? Can't you see Zimo is angry?"

Listening to Huang Yuqing, she hesitated.

Wang Pingping still wanted to win back Xu Zimo and certainly didn't want to make him angry, so she decided to wait and see.

At this moment, the Former Mother-in-law also saw Xu Zimo: "Son-in-law, you've come at just the right time..."

"Who's your Son-in-law?!"

Xu Zimo looked at her coldly.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xu Zimo say to the Lawyer who had come with him, "Lawyer He, does her behavior constitute a crime?"

"Illegally seizing and damaging another person's property may constitute the crime of robbery and intentional destruction of property!"

Lawyer He said, already collecting evidence.

At this point, the Former Mother-in-law panicked, "I didn't steal it; I don't want this thing anymore, I'll give it back to you, I don't want it."

Saying that, she threw the bracelet, which was already broken in two, towards Chen Yaqin.

Xu Zimo stood in front, not catching it, but letting the bracelet hit his body and fall to the ground, shattering.

It didn't matter.

There were witnesses, physical evidence, and even a video recording; there was no way to deny it.

No money to compensate?

Didn't Wang Qiang just happen to have a new house?

Xu Zimo looked at Wang Qiang in the distance with a cold smile.

Speaking of which, he had poured all his savings into that house; it was time for their family to spit it out.

Soon, the uncle arrived.

The Former Mother-in-law was taken away again, and Xu Zimo also took Chen Yaqin and Lawyer He to give statements and submit evidence.

"Lawyer He, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, President Xu."

For such a case, a lawyer doesn't need to exert much effort to simply wait for the legal fees.

Xu Zimo left with Chen Yaqin, while Lawyer He stayed behind to assist with the follow-up matters.

"Zimo, thanks to you, our home should be peaceful now, but it's a pity about that bracelet."

Chen Yaqin said, her tone still showing regret for the bracelet.

"Auntie, 'broken for peace,' as long as you're okay, that's what matters." Xu Zimo comforted her softly.

As for the bracelet...

Just buy another one.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the same jade shop as last time.

"Zimo, what are you doing?"

Chen Yaqin looked at him in confusion.

"Auntie, the lawyer will recover the compensation for that bracelet; I'm taking you to buy a new one to wear first." Xu Zimo said with a smile.

"This... this isn't good, is it?"

Chen Yaqin's eyes lit up, but she also hesitated.

Xu Zimo had brought her last time, so it was a surprise, but now, to actually choose an expensive one, she felt reluctant.

With so much money, what couldn't she buy?

"It's okay, Auntie. This bracelet holds its value, and it can be passed down in the family; it will only become more valuable."

Hearing Xu Zimo say this, Chen Yaqin also felt it made sense and beamed with joy.

It wasn't that she was greedy for the bracelet.

Rather, the more Xu Zimo did this, the more it proved how much he valued her daughter.

After more than an hour of choosing, Xu Zimo ultimately selected a bracelet for her priced at 148,888, with a more beautiful 'floating flower' pattern than the previous one.

Chen Yaqin loved it immensely.

This time, she kept the invoice as well.

In the car, she continuously looked at Xu Zimo, growing more and more satisfied the more she looked.

She couldn't help but ask, "Zimo, how far along are you and Tang Xinyi?"

The question was very direct and normal.

From her perspective, if Xu Zimo and her daughter weren't in a relationship, why would he give such a significant gift?

Moreover, it seemed they had even spent the night together.

"Auntie, I've been married once, and I don't know if Tang Xinyi is willing to accept me yet."

Xu Zimo feigned a bitter smile.

"What's the big deal? And it's not your fault. Don't worry, Auntie will help you with Tang Xinyi's work!"

Chen Yaqin could, of course, see that her daughter had a good impression of Xu Zimo; otherwise, she wouldn't have invited him home for dinner yesterday, so she confidently guaranteed her help.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Xu Zimo knew that although he and Tang Xinyi had entered an ambiguous phase, she was very reserved and not very proactive. At this time, external help was needed.

Subsequently, the atmosphere inside the car became even more harmonious.

"Come to our house for dinner today!"

Xu Zimo, of course, wouldn't refuse. He drove to a seafood market and indulged in another shopping spree.

Upon arriving home, Tang Rong hadn't returned from his job search, Tang Xinyi was at work, and Tang Xinyao hadn't finished class yet, so Xu Zimo went to the kitchen to help Chen Yaqin.

Watching his skillful movements in handling ingredients, Chen Yaqin, as a Mother-in-law looking at her Son-in-law, grew increasingly satisfied.

She had decided he was her Son-in-law.

Even if Tang Xinyi wasn't willing, she still had another daughter!

Tang Rong was the first to return. He had originally come home to make dinner, but after arriving at the complex, he was stopped by someone who told him what had happened today.

So he quickened his steps and returned home.

But as soon as he opened the door, he heard his wife Chen Yaqin's laughter coming from inside.

How could she be laughing when the bracelet was broken?

Tang Rong entered the house full of questions, only to find Xu Zimo there as well.

"Uncle."

"You're here."

Tang Rong still had a good impression of Xu Zimo. After greeting him, he said to his wife Chen Yaqin, "How can you let a guest do these things?"

"This child is afraid I'll get tired; this is filial piety."

Tang Rong was dumbfounded by Chen Yaqin's words.

Had she already started treating Xu Zimo as her own child? She even spoke of filial piety.

Moreover, Tang Rong also noticed that even though people in the complex said his wife's bracelet was broken, she was still wearing one on her hand.

What was going on?

Could she have gone and bought a new one again?

"Zimo, come out and sit in the living room to rest..."

Tang Rong decided to ask his wife about the situation and insisted on pulling Xu Zimo out of the kitchen.

Helpless, Xu Zimo had no choice but to sit alone on the living room sofa.

Bored, he briefly checked his phone.

There were messages from Huang Yuqing detailing Wang Pingping and Wang Qiang's reactions.

It was funny to think that their Biological Mother had been taken away, yet the two children showed no reaction at all.

Wang Pingping might be understandable, but Wang Qiang, her son, who had been so favored by his Biological Mother, and who had even instigated her to come forward for his affairs, didn't even show his face.

Was this even human?

However, Wang Qiang's personality was also due to family reasons, which could be seen as the Former Mother-in-law reaping what she sowed.

There were also messages from Lawyer He, detailing the progress.

The circumstances were bad, but not that severe; it might not be classified as robbery. With compensation and an apology, the sentence might be lighter.

Would Wang Qiang compensate?

Heh heh.

As Xu Zimo was replying to messages, the door opened again.

"I'm back, so hungry, is there anything to eat..."

Tang Xinyao, a freshman in college, returned. She was initially shouting as she entered but suddenly saw Xu Zimo sitting on the sofa and was stunned.
