Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270 Complaining Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270 Complaining Bai Lan had stopped talking too.

She just felt very emotionally drained, some people are just impossible to communicate with.

Zhou Shengting’s mother’s expression wasn’t very pleasant either, but she couldn’t make a scene, so she held it in all the way until they got home, not saying a word to each other.

It’s said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, and this was indeed true.

When Bai Lan got home, she felt rather tired and greeted Zhou Shengting’s mother before heading back to her room.

As soon as Zhou Shengting’s mother saw her leave, she immediately called Zhou Shengting, “Sheng Ting, look at this bride of yours, always opposing me on purpose. Is she trying to infuriate me to death?”

When Zhou Shengting saw it was his mother’s call, he felt a headache coming on, leaning back in his office chair, half closing his eyes, then pinching the bridge of his nose with his right hand.

Ah, it had been peaceful for just a few days.

“What’s the matter? What happened? She’s pregnant now, Mom, I hope you can be more tolerant of her,” Zhou Shengting knew his mother’s temper, so he spoke in a more soothing tone.

“Why don’t you ask her? She’s pregnant, but didn’t I go through pregnancy too? Aren’t I more experienced than she is?” Zhou Shengting’s mother began to complain.

Zhou Shengting knew his mother was about to start nagging again, so he soothed her, “Mom, this is Bai Lan’s first time being a mother, please be more understanding. She still has a lot to learn, and because she’s pregnant, she might be a bit moody at times. For the baby’s sake, could you please bear with it?”

“Hmph, it’s all your spoiling,” Zhou Shengting’s mother muttered indignantly, then with a “snap,” she hung up the call.

Zhou Shengting felt helpless; his mother had called just to complain about his wife.

He knew Bai Lan had been wronged, so he immediately called her back. It took a while before the phone was answered.

“Sheng Ting, what’s up?” Bai Lan’s gentle voice carried a hint of sleepiness, revealing that she had just been sleeping.

“Nothing much, just wanted to see what you were up to?” Zhou Shengting also lowered his voice, feeling a bit guilty for disturbing her sleep.

“Just got back from the prenatal checkup, the baby is doing well, don’t worry,” Bai Lan smiled slightly but said nothing about the conversation with Zhou Shengting’s mother.

Bringing it up would only make things difficult for him. Managing a large company was already keeping him very busy; dealing with trivial household issues would be too exhausting.

“That’s good, by the way, if Mom said anything unpleasant, don’t mind her, tell your hubby if you feel wronged, okay?” Zhou Shengting advised as he was about to hang up.

He knew his wife was kind-hearted, so he couldn’t help but remind her.

“Mom didn’t say anything too unpleasant. Focus on your work; the baby and I will wait for you to come home,” Bai Lan said, not wishing to bother him with such trivial matters despite her own feelings of injustice.

“Right, this weekend is the company’s anniversary celebration. Why don’t you come out and relax a bit?” Zhou Shengting invited.

Bai Lan hadn’t attended the company’s anniversary celebration before? In the past, he had always attended alone, but now that she was his wife, he really wanted to share this honor with Bai Lan.

“Have you forgotten? The doctor told me to rest more and avoid crowded places,” Bai Lan reminded him, feeling it was a shame.

But the child was most important now, so she reluctantly declined.

Zhou Shengting smacked his forehead; right, he had forgotten such an important thing.

“Alright then, maybe next time,” Zhou Shengting said, a bit regretfully.

Only now did he realize that having someone to share achievements with made them all the more motivating.
