For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...
Yun Lan was angry, but facing Cheng Shuying, he really couldn't bear to say anything harsh, so he could only stomp down the stairs in anger.
Cheng Shuying reminded him: "Be gentle, don't disturb your parents."
Old Madam Yun turned her head and looked at the stairs: "Jingjing, have you had your milk? Waiter, Shuying, come and sit down."
Yun Lan touched his nose guiltily. Old Madam Yun noticed something was wrong. Cheng Shuying explained, "Jing Jing and Ji Yun were chatting, so it was inconvenient for us to go in. Yun Lan drank the milk."
Yun Lan stiffened his neck and said, "I just think Zhou Jiyun is too scheming and too good at talking."
Old Madam Yun glared at him: "How can you talk like that? Don't cause trouble with Jiyun and don't make things difficult for Jingjing. I think Jiyun is a good kid, but he's also quite pitiful."
Yun Lan sneered, "Yes, pitiful. Pity him for ruining his second uncle's family like that? Pity him for being able to build such a big business?"
Mr. Yun said, "That's because Jiyun is so talented and capable. Just look at Xiaoxu. He has his family to support him. Has he listed his company like Jiyun?"
Yun Xu begged for mercy: "I'm not as good as my brother-in-law. Master, please don't compare me with my brother-in-law. I can't compare."
How could Old Master Yun not understand Yun Lan's thoughts? "Just like your mother said, don't make things difficult for Jingjing. We came later, and Jingjing is already married to him. In Jingjing's heart, he must be the first."
Yun Lan sighed, "I just can't bear it. She didn't grow up in front of us for a day, and then after all the hard work, she got married. I feel sad."
Old Lady Yun comforted him: "Think about it from another angle. Jiyun's parents are gone. Although he still has a grandfather, he is more partial to his uncle's family. Now the child is almost without relatives. Just think of yourself as having another son."
"How good is that?"
Yun Lan thought about it and felt that what the old lady said was not unreasonable, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. Cheng Shuying looked at the old lady, then at Yun Lan, and thought that the old lady was more capable.
He was in a better mood and could see other things: "It's almost twelve o'clock, why aren't my parents asleep yet?"
The old lady closed the album and said, "I'm sorting it out. Yunhua did something like that, and I don't want to make you sad anymore. I'm putting Yunhua's photos away somewhere else. From now on, the Yun family will pretend that they don't have this daughter."
Cheng Shuying softened her heart, perhaps because she was now a mother too: "Mom, Yunlan and I don't want to see her and Jin Xiao again. But we can't ask you to do the same. After all, she is your daughter."
The old lady waved her hand. "I know you care about us, but we have to consider your feelings as well. Xiaoer is also my child. I've seen how much suffering you've endured because of her over the years."
"I can't be partial to Yunhua anymore. Xiaoer will be sad too. Seeing you like this all these years, I feel sorry for you. It's your father and I who didn't teach Yunhua well."
Cheng Shuying said something fair: "Actually, Yunhua...she was a good person before she got married. She was bewitched by Jin Yuan and brainwashed too much by the Jin family, which is why she became like this now."
"You don't have to speak for her," the old lady said, putting all the photos of Yun Hua into a box nearby. "She did something wrong, so she should pay the price. She's an adult now, and she can't always expect others to make sacrifices for her. No one owes her anything."
"Let's go back to our room and rest. Don't call Jingjing tomorrow. It's her first time home, so let her sleep a little longer."
Old Master Yun also stood up, carefully supporting the old lady. Having been together for decades, he understood that his wife must be feeling even worse. Seeing her own children in such a mess, she would feel bad no matter which side she took.
But in the end, Xiaoer and his wife were the more pitiful. Was Xie Jing, who was living outside, really living a good life as she said? Good or bad, he had eyes.
If he was really living a good life, why would he not be able to study the major he wanted to study, and why would he get married before he even graduated from graduate school? Fortunately, Zhou Jiyun is not bad, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
The old man and his wife returned to their rooms to rest. Yun Cang's wife, Li Ying, gathered her shawl and said, "Second brother, sister-in-law, congratulations. Jingjing is finally home, and her marriage life is so happy now."
Yun Xu's radar quietly sounded, he knew what Li Ying was going to say next, it was nothing more than urging her to get married.
"Unlike Yunxu, who's already thirty during the New Year, and still acts so unruly all the time... His older brother can't get leave in the army and can't go home often, so that's fine, but he's always in front of me..."
Yun Xu grabbed the orange on the coffee table and said, "Mom, it's getting late. I'm going back to my room to rest. Oh, and don't wake me up tomorrow morning. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally."
Li Ying glared, and Yun Xu had already rushed up to the second floor in three or two steps.
Cheng Shuying smiled and said, "There's no rush for this kind of thing. It's all fate. Xiaoxu, shouldn't you focus on your career? It's okay for boys to get married later."
Yun Cang gave Yun Lan a look, and Yun Lan was curious: "What's the matter?"
Yun Cang: "Hasn't Ji Yun been investigating his parents' case? They've now moved their investigation to Province G. Coincidentally, I have a comrade in Province G, so I specifically asked someone to find out the situation."
"According to the current conclusion, the car accident involving his parents Zhou Zhihong was probably not an accident, but rather a man-made one. As for the murderer, it should be his uncle Zhou Zhida."
Yun Lan nodded. "I guessed it was him, but I need evidence. He dared to do something like this over ten years ago. I just wanted to resolve these dangers quickly. What if they attack Jingjing?"
Yun Lan: "We're investigating the evidence. I also hope this matter ends soon so the two little ones can live a peaceful life. You haven't had a good life these past few years, and to be frank, Jingjing and Jiyun haven't had much better luck either."
"It's incredible that he has been able to endure it until now at such a young age."
Yun Lan snorted: "Brother, you are my elder brother."
"He's still my nephew-in-law," Yun Lan said with a smile, not at all the seriousness he usually had in the army. "Jingjing and Jiyun have a good relationship. You should be happy for them."
"While you were away, your daughter was loved and cherished. This is something to be happy about."
Li Ying put down her cup and said, "I think Xiao Wai is just reluctant to let Jing Jing get married."
Cheng Shuying tapped Yunlan's arm: "I know that sister-in-law understands us. It's getting late, so let's go back to the room and rest. Good night, brother and sister-in-law."
She and Yunlan used to live on the second floor, but later her health became increasingly weak, and she once fell from the second floor. After that, she and Yunlan lived on the first floor for many years, on the other side of the stairs.
Now Xie Jing has really returned to them and is living upstairs. Even in her dreams at night, Cheng Shuying is smiling.
