"I don't know." Feng Zhiyuan was somewhat confused. "To be honest, apart from being a good writer, I don't have any other talents. Suddenly being asked to leave, I really don't know where to go or what to do."

"Shall we go ask them?" Xiong Li pondered for a moment.

"Ask whom?"

"Go ask Wang Shouren, or you can ask your father, or even your mother."

“That makes sense.” Feng Zhiyuan nodded.

You can't ask your own father, he's very stubborn.

On the other side.

Xu Yuanchao stayed at home for a day before returning to his own home.

He has two homes. He usually goes back to his father's place when he's on vacation, and stays with his wife when he's at work. His residence is in a good location, and he's a powerful official with a lot of work to do. After work, he comes home to a quiet house. His two eldest children are adults and have moved out to live on their own, and they're even stationed in the military. Usually, it's just the two of them living there, and no one else comes over.

Hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen, Xu Yuanchao knew that his wife was cooking.

Without wasting any words, Xu Yuanchao packed his things and headed straight to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Lin Miaohan was humming a little tune as she stewed pork ribs. She was an orthopedic surgeon, and her hobby after work was stewing pork ribs; she found it very relaxing.

Xu Yuanchao declined to comment on this peculiar hobby.

Seemingly sensing Xu Yuanchao's approach, she turned around and saw that it was indeed her husband. She then turned back to continue processing the ribs, asking as she did so, "How is it?"

The question was naturally directed at the sister-in-law.

Everyone in the Xu family knows that the most difficult person to deal with is Xu's younger sister-in-law.

Xu Weiwei, a well-known woman in the industry, has a good family background and excellent personal qualities, yet she insists on clinging to Wang Shouren. This gives Lin Miaohan a headache.

If you're asking how good the relationship between the sisters-in-law really is, then it's not.

To outsiders, Xu Weiwei was an extremely arrogant woman, so the relationship between her and her sister-in-law was at most a nodding acquaintance.

Xu Yuanchao, on the other hand, doted on his younger sister, and Lin Miaohan didn't have any objections. After all, Xu Weiwei often brought a lot of things to her brother's house, and even gave them two motorcycles as a gift.

Although they didn't have much in common, she could sense their feelings no matter what they said. It was a connection based on blood ties.

She's pregnant.

"Oh." Lin Miaohan said "Oh," scooped up a spoonful of foam, and shook it off.

"You just said 'oh'?" Xu Yuanchao's eyes widened.

"Otherwise what?" Lin Miaohan rolled her eyes. "The other day, you couldn't sleep well and were even stressed. Who else but your sister could make you like that? It was only a matter of time before she got pregnant. Wang Shouren is a good man; he can't keep dragging your sister along forever. Besides, he has three women of his own. Except for Lou Xiao'e, all three of his women have grown up over time. He's willing to provide such a good learning environment for women; he can't be a bad person."

Lin Miaohan has her own judgment.

She saw through her sister-in-law's actions clearly. All the awkwardness and misunderstandings boiled down to her sister-in-law's unwillingness to compromise, yet also unwillingness to let go. She wanted to have him all to herself, but that was utterly impossible. Whether emotionally or practically, Wang Shouren could never give up his own woman to marry his sister-in-law.

Therefore, this situation will only drag on until the sister-in-law relents.

It seems that her sister-in-law has relented, which doesn't surprise Lin Miaohan.

"So, my sister-in-law is now officially married into the family?"

"What do you mean she married out there! She'll still give birth here, and the child will take our Lin family name."

"Awkward." Lin Miaohan rolled her eyes. "When the time comes, with the Wang family being so powerful and wealthy, won't the child regret it?"

"What are you saying? Is our Xu family small?" Xu Yuanchao's eyes widened.

Lin Miaohan paused in her soup-making process, then nodded: "That's one way. If this child goes into politics in the future, it would indeed be suitable to place him in the Xu family."

"No, why is your mind so full of scheming?"

"What am I scheming about?" Lin Miaohan glared at him irritably. "What benefit would I get from scheming? I'm just stating the facts. You, always fussing over your sister, don't even see things as clearly as I do. When is the due date? Where do you plan to give birth? I'll go and make some contact."

"Uh..." Xu Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little numb.

"Judging from your expression, you probably don't know either."

"Who says I don't know? January..."

"Okay, okay, I'll go see Dad later."

"Hehe, you're so good to me, my wife..." Xu Yuanchao could do nothing but giggle like an idiot.

Lin Miaohan paused for a moment, then looked him up and down: "What, do you have something else to say?"

"Hmm, a little..."

"explain."

"Um, honey, Mom means you should contact them more often."

"Over there? Over there with Wang Shouren?" Lin Miaohan paused, then looked at Xu Yuanchao: "To what extent should we contact him? Can I get some benefits out of him?"

"Sure! Mom said if you'd like, you can come with me to Hong Kong. We have plenty of money."

"Oh?" Lin Miaohan raised an eyebrow: "So this counts as deep bondage? Then I'm planning to go to a hospital in Hong Kong, what do you think?"

Xu Yuanchao's lips twitched slightly, and he hesitated: "There's no need to go that far, is there?"

"I want to go out." Lin Miaohan calmly looked at Xu Yuanchao: "What do you say?"

"Alright, alright, go ahead." Xu Yuanchao said helplessly. Once his wife made up her mind, that was it.

"Tch, that's more like it. You surnamed Xu, don't be ungrateful. In the past, I had opportunities to go out and exchange ideas. If you hadn't made me sacrifice myself, would I be in this situation now? You just don't care about anything, and that's how you ended up as a lowly official."

Faced with his wife's accusations, Xu Yuanchao said he had nothing to say because what she said was true.

To say my wife is materialistic would be a bit true, but not really. She's the kind of person who's very clear-headed, knows what she should and shouldn't do, and is very emotionally stable. Usually, when there's something going on at home, we listen to her. But with my sister's matter, she didn't express her opinion, just let Xu Yuanchao handle it himself. That shows that this woman isn't as simple as she seems on the surface.

"Okay, I'll visit tomorrow. I'll go to Mom's first, and then I'll go to the Wang family to talk to them about your sister."
