The Maid's Rise to Be a President's Wife-Chapter 216: An Agonizing Dinner
Chapter 216 - An Agonizing Dinner
Yiren followed Ji Minze downstairs. All her previous courage and boldness had disappeared without a trace since she stepped into the Ji family's house today.
"Dinner is ready. We've been waiting for the two of you," Ji Aier said with a smile. Her smile was always so gentle no matter when.
At the dining table, she sat next to Ji Minze, almost curling up under the table. Because she could feel Ji En's stern gaze.
Under the table, Ji Minze held her cold hand. Was he giving her strength?
Yiren turned to look at Ji Minze, but he still had a calm expression on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"Yiren, don't be shy," Ji Aier said.
"Thank you, Designer Ji," Yiren said stiffly.
Ji Minze let go of Yiren's hand. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to eat, because he was used to using his left hand, and Yiren was used to using her right hand.
"Just treat this place like your own home," Ji Minze said to Yiren.
Yiren heard this polite remark, but at this moment, it seemed very ambiguous. She didn't dare to say anything and just buried her head in eating.
"Minze, Tang Rui hasn't come to our house for a while. Ask her to come over and play when you have time," Ji En said.
"Daddy, I'll tell her, but she might not want to come," Ji Minze picked up a piece of spare rib for Yiren and said.
"Why?"
"We've already terminated our engagement," Ji Minze said calmly. He had hurt a girl who had once given her all to him. He had tried his best, but in the end, he still couldn't convince himself to truly accept her. He didn't have love for her. Every time they were together, they were polite to each other. It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like after they got married.
"Come to my study after dinner," Ji En instructed.
"Let's eat first. You two can talk about it later, father and son," Ji Aier mediated. Then she turned to Yiren and said, "Yiren, don't just focus on eating. Pick more dishes!"
"Thank you," Yiren raised her head and replied to Ji Aier.

After dinner,
Ji Minze and Ji En went upstairs, while Yiren and Ji Aier sat in the living room chatting.
"Actually, no matter who Minze is with, I won't interfere with him, because it's his choice," Ji Aier said to Yiren.
"I know. You're a very good mother," Yiren said. She reminded Yiren of her own mother. Her mother had also been so gentle and kind. Unfortunately, she passed away early. Her mother was her only family member. She had known since she was very young that her mother wasn't happy! So her mother passed away early. Maybe it was a relief for her, so she had never blamed her mother. But she hated her father very much. However, she didn't even know who her father was, so this hatred seemed pale and powerless.
"Tang Rui and Minze have been engaged for almost three years. In these three years, we've always been used to treating her as our daughter-in-law, so Ji En can't accept this change for a while," Ji Aier said.
"I understand! Actually, the president brought me here today because I left my apartment keys in the office, and with this kind of weather, he had no choice but to bring me here. I'm very sorry for the trouble my arrival has caused to your family," Yiren said, lowering her head. She knew that her sudden arrival wasn't welcome, and this wasn't what she wanted either.
"Yiren, I didn't mean anything else. Don't misunderstand! I just said that no matter who Minze is with, I will respect his choice. So you don't need to explain anything. I can see that you're a good girl," Ji Aier said, holding Yiren's hand.
Yiren's tears dropped onto her hand. She raised her head and said to Ji Aier, "You remind me of my mother!"
"I'm really happy to hear you say that. You can also bring your mother over to play when you have time," Ji Aier said to Yiren.
"My mother passed away when I was in middle school," Yiren said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to," Ji Aier said apologetically.
"It's okay. I'm used to it," Yiren said indifferently. "You're really a good mother. So please believe that I didn't deliberately want to destroy the relationship between the president and others. I had no special relationship with the president before today." If it weren't for that kiss, maybe she would still be in ignorance.
"I believe you," Ji Aier said with a smile. She completely believed that Yiren was a good girl. She had a very good impression of her since the first time she saw her in front of the showcase.
