Chapter 90 I will not offend others unless they offend me.

The food was spilled on the floor; that's so undignified.

So as soon as Wen Changyu finished speaking, Xie Zhizhi said, "I'd like to hear how I harmed someone."

Xie Zhizhi said this while staring at Wen Qianqian.

Wen Qianqian had originally wanted to make a big scene, and seeing Xie Zhizhi relentlessly pursuing her, she was overjoyed. "How can I harm someone?"

Wen Changyu wanted to persuade Xie Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, why don't you go back with Grandma first..."

Xie Zhizhi didn't want to say, "I rushed here early this morning without even having breakfast, and now that I'm sitting here, my food has been spilled, and I've been unfairly accused. Do you think I should just quietly go back?"

This one sentence left Wen Changyu speechless.

His intention was not to make Xie Zhizhi feel wronged, but Xie Zhizhi's words told him that she felt very wronged.

He Yuzhi then stepped forward, saying, "Zhizhi is right. She has just returned to this family and is not yet capable of carrying such a heavy burden."

"Since you've already said it, just say it clearly, don't beat around the bush."

As He Yuzhi spoke, she looked at the arrogant Wen Qianqian with displeasure and said, "Tell me, tell me exactly how Zhizhi harmed people, and who she harmed."

He Yuzhi disliked Wen Qianqian; she had never liked her much since childhood.

It was okay when I was a child, but I disliked it less and less as I grew older.

Because she discovered that Wen Qianqian was lazy, unambitious, and only knew how to enjoy herself. She didn't study hard when she was in school, and she didn't work hard when she reached the age to work.

He's changed jobs one after another, but never stayed long in any of them. Either they were too tiring, or the colleagues or the bosses were unpleasant—in short, he couldn't do them. Now, he simply stays home all day, ostensibly to take care of Xu Shanshan.

He Yuzhi always shakes her head whenever she mentions her.

Now that her biological granddaughter has returned, and with the contrast, she dislikes Wen Qianqian even more.

Good children and bad children have different expressions.

Seeing that Xie Zhizhi was walking right into the line of fire, Wen Qianqian had no reason not to speak up.

She raised her chin and gave Xie Zhizhi a disdainful look. "You dare say it has nothing to do with you?"

"If you hadn't insisted on having some kind of family reunion banquet, and Mom couldn't accept it, would things have turned out like this?"

"Don't you know how much your mother blames herself and feels guilty about you getting lost back then?"

"And you? The first thing you do when you get back is to stab her in the heart. Do you want to tell everyone that she deliberately lost you?"

Xie Zhizhi: "??"

A family reunion banquet?

Xie Zhizhi didn't understand, but He Yuzhi did. Her daughter-in-law didn't want to hold a family reunion banquet for her granddaughter because she was afraid of being blamed for losing the child years ago...

He Yuzhi was so angry that her face twitched uncontrollably. Absurd, utterly absurd.

Who in Beijing didn't know that the Wen family lost a child back then?

Back then, the Wen family practically dug up every inch of the land within a hundred miles of Beijing. Everyone knew the Wen family was looking for their child.

Everyone knows that the Wen family's child went missing when he was a month old. The child's mother fainted by the river, and the child was lost. It is suspected that he fell into the river, but there was no body.

That river was later drained.

Why are you saying this now?

If they hold a family reunion banquet, everyone will just think that the Wen family has finally gotten over their hardships. Who will criticize Xu Shanshan? And who would dare to criticize Xu Shanshan?

It's obvious they deliberately made up this excuse; they just didn't want the family reunion banquet to be held.

He Yuzhi glanced at the haughty Wen Qianqian and sneered inwardly. If they didn't hold a family reunion banquet and didn't let everyone know that the Wen family's biological daughter had returned, would this adopted daughter still be the apple of the Wen family's eye?

He Yuzhi didn't know whether to scold Xu Shanshan for being foolish or Wen Qianqian for being cunning.

In short, no matter what it is, He Yuzhi cannot allow them to bully her own granddaughter.

“I was the one who asked for the family reunion banquet to be held,” He Yuzhi stepped forward, meeting Wen Qianqian’s proud chin, her eyes filled with displeasure. “Zhizhi has finally come back, and as her grandmother, is it wrong for me to want to show my eldest granddaughter to others?”

After asking Wen Qianqian, He Yuzhi looked down at her son, who was sitting there clutching his head in anguish, and asked, "Was I wrong?"

Wen Changyu felt sorry for his wife and daughter, so he was in great pain. "Mom, Shanshan is stuck in what happened back then and can't get over it..."

"Can't get out?"

"If you can't get out of here, why don't you take a few more glances at Zhizhi?"

"It's painful to lose a child, but now that the child has been found, shouldn't you be happy?" After asking this question, the old lady pondered these words, her brows furrowing.

Yes, it's great to be happy that a child who has been missing for twenty years has been found.

But my daughter-in-law has been making a scene since yesterday, and she doesn't seem happy at all.

After hearing this, Xie Zhizhi understood. Her biological mother had gone so far as to attempt suicide by cutting her wrists in order to stop the Wen family from holding a family reunion banquet for her. Tsk tsk, she harbored pure hatred for her own daughter!

Xie Zhizhi didn't believe the nonsense about being unable to move on from what happened back then.

There must be reasons she doesn't know, but that's not important right now.

The important thing right now is that this biological mother doesn't like her, but she really likes her adopted daughter. She even goes so far as to let her precious adopted daughter bully her. It seems that... not only does she not want to hold any family reunion banquet, but she also wants to get rid of her, right?

I can't let her have her way!

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of the slap stunned everyone.

Xie Zhizhi rubbed her wrist and told Wen Qianqian, "Remember, I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I will repay them a hundredfold."

"Consider it compensation for my steamed buns!"

After saying that, Xie Zhizhi pulled Zhou Lin along, "Let's go!"

Zhou Lin immediately followed, and He Yuzhi, seeing this, quickly called out to her husband, "Granddaughter, wait for Grandma!"

The old lady was worried that her granddaughter would be wronged, and she was thinking about how to support her granddaughter so that her granddaughter wouldn't feel bad because her own mother didn't like her.

Unexpectedly...

No wonder she's He Yuzhi's granddaughter; she's much more promising than her good-for-nothing son!

Only after Xie Zhizhi and her group had gone far away did Wen Qianqian let out a shrill scream.

Xu Shanshan had been paying close attention to the commotion outside. She heard that Wen Qianqian hadn't suffered any losses, so she remained silent.

Hearing Wen Qianqian's shrill scream, he ignored the injury on his wrist, pulled out the IV from the back of his hand, and rushed out without even putting on his shoes.

After all that fuss, when she got outside, the gauze wrapped around her wrist was bleeding again.

"Qianqian," she called out, running barefoot outside the ward.

When Wen Changyu saw her appearance, he immediately felt sorry for her. "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

"Your wrist is bleeding..."

Even though Wen Changyu looked distressed, Xu Shanshan didn't give him a kind look. She glanced at Wen Changyu and asked, "What's going on?"

Wen Qianqian turned to look at her, tears instantly streaming down her face. "Mom..."

As she turned her head, Xu Shanshan also saw the handprint on her face.

She immediately reached out and touched it; the clear fingerprints showed how much force the other person had used. "Wh...what happened?"

Despite her wrist injury, Xu Shanshan tenderly cupped Wen Qianqian's face in her hands.
