The Supporting Female Character in a Chronicle Doesn't Do It Anymore

Ye Shuning, a Doctor of Chemistry, was struck by a meteorite and transmigrated into a chronicle novel she had read, becoming the male lead's cannon fodder ex-wife.

She just wants to stay ...

Chapter 263 Being Calculated

Li Jianye also knew that his wife was concerned about his health. Everyone was happy during the New Year, and if he had health problems due to drinking, it would be a loss.

Li Shaoyang immediately came to his father's aid. "Don't worry, Mom. We will all keep an eye on my dad and prevent him from drinking too much. It's not New Year's Day, so let him have a little wine to satisfy his craving."

Li Shaozhong also said, "That's right, Mom, we definitely won't let my dad drink too much."

Yang Jinping didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. "Just keep an eye on your dad. He has a bad heart, so he should drink less. You guys can do whatever you want."

Ye Shuning poured a glass of freshly squeezed juice for her mother-in-law, "Mom, let's have some juice for the ladies and the kids. This is freshly squeezed orange juice. It tastes very good."

Little guy Li Jingyi is now very interested in eating. He is allowed to sit at the table and is placed in a specially made children's chair by Li Shaozhong.

Ye Shuning prepared a small bowl and spoon for him, put a bib on him and let him eat by himself. Soon, Jingyi's mouth was covered with vegetable juice, his face was a little stained, and his hands were greasy.

Yang Jinping looked at her grandson and said, "Xiao Ning, is Jing Yi okay like this?"

Ye Shuning said, "It's no problem. This will help him develop self-care skills and independence. He'll also enjoy eating more this way, which is much better than chasing him around to feed him."

The child sat between Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning, and Li Shaozhong would occasionally use the serving chopsticks to put some food that his son could eat into his bowl.

Seeing his son eating with such relish, Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "Mom, Jingyi really likes to eat by himself. He likes to eat flavorful food now, but we don't dare to give him anything with too strong a flavor. Letting him eat with us is also a way to train him. He is much better now than before."

Li Shaoting smiled and said, "Yes, Jingyi is very smart and learns things quickly. He has no problem eating by himself now. This is very helpful in cultivating a child's ability to take care of himself. Xiaoning and her family have a very good way of raising children."

Little Jingyi didn't know everyone was talking about him. He ate his food happily, and from time to time he looked at the food on the table. After finishing the food in his bowl, he patted his mother's side, pointed at the table and called her, meaning that she wanted her to pick up some food for him.

Everyone laughed when they saw Xiao Jingyi's action.

Li Shaoyang smiled and said, "Look, Jingyi already knows what he wants. The little guy is quite capable."

Ye Shuning picked up some boneless fish for the child, put some more steamed shrimp and egg custard in the child's bowl, and prepared some vegetables. The little guy saw that there was food in his bowl again and lowered his head to eat.

Little Jingyi has grown quite a few teeth and can eat some food without any problem now.

Everyone watched Xiao Jingyi eat while drinking and chatting. Days like today are really rare, and everyone let go, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Yang Jinping is the happiest. This year, her three sons and daughter-in-law are all by her side, and her two grandsons are growing up healthily. She feels that her life is complete.

Li Shaozhong and Li Shaoting told their father about the changes and developments in Shenzhou. Li Jianye listened with great emotion. They were chatting happily when the phone in the living room rang.

The phone was either for Ye Shuning or Li Shaozhong, so Li Shaozhong got up to answer it.

The call was from Yan Xiheng. Because Ye Shuning had previously told him that her father was coming to Shenzhou for the New Year, the Yan family also knew that Ye Xingguo had come to Shenzhou. The Yan family, especially Old Lady Ye, wanted to come and see their nephew. Since Ye Xingguo couldn't leave, the Yan family had to come to the mainland.

Li Shaozhong and the others are of course welcome, and Yan Xiheng has tentatively planned to come on the third day of the New Year.

After all, Ye Xingguo couldn't stay in Shenzhou for too long, so the Yan family had to come as soon as possible.

Ye Xingguo had no feelings for the original owner's relatives, but he had no reason to refuse them a visit. After all, he was now Ye Xingguo in this world, and he had to accept everything about the original owner. The Yan family had taken good care of their daughter and were sincere to them, so it was no big deal to acknowledge this relative.

Li Shaozhong had just finished answering the phone and sat down at the dinner table when it rang again. "Hey, why are there so many calls today?"

Li Shaozhong stood up again to answer the phone, but after he picked up the phone, the person on the other end didn't speak for a long time.

Li Shaozhong was a little surprised and called out "Hello" twice, "Excuse me, who is this?"

At this time, the person on the other end of the phone spoke, "Shaozhong, it's me. I'm upset and have no one to talk to, so I can only call you to talk."

Li Shaozhong knew Yan Jingwen had been drinking, quite a bit, when he heard it. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The people eating in the restaurant were also paying attention to Li Shaozhong's phone call. When they heard what Li Shaozhong said, they knew something had happened and stopped talking.

Yan Jingwen wiped his face, feeling very bitter, his eyes red. "Shaozhong, I have always been on guard against the Zhao family and Zhao Huixin, but I didn't expect that in the end, my own family and outsiders would scheme against me. My sister was bribed and betrayed me just because Zhao Huixin bought her some new clothes. My mother also schemed against me in order to have a grandson.

I had been drinking that day and went home a little tipsy, so I went to sleep in my room. But when I woke up that morning, I found Zhao Huixin lying next to me. It was in my own home, and something like this happened. How could it have happened without my family's permission?

My mom and her family also pressured me to marry Zhao Huixin. They refused to speak up for me, and my sister even gave false testimony. I began to wonder if this was still my family. Why were they forcing me like this?

Zhao Huixin is even more hypocritical, acting like she's the victim. "I wasn't completely drunk, and I know I didn't do anything, but now a group of people are ganging up on me and forcing me to marry Zhao Huixin. Even my own family won't speak up for me, so how can anyone else believe me?"

Yan Jingwen is now inconsolable and feels like he is about to die of depression.

Li Shaozhong said bitterly, "What are your family members thinking? How can you do things this way? Where's your father? What does he say?"

Yan Jingwen said hoarsely, "My mom is crazy about having a grandson. My dad has been driven crazy by my mom, so he's compromised. Maybe he thinks it's not bad for me to marry Zhao Huixin."

Li Shaozhong said, "What's good about that? The Zhao family has always tried their best to stay out of it, but your family is trying to get involved. Aren't they courting death? And now they're trying to drag you into this as well. They're really capable."

Yan Jingwen said, "They've all been deceived by Zhao Huixin. I only now realize how powerful she is. She's tricked my family into following me around. It's like she's bewitched my sister. I don't know what she promised her. Furthermore, the Zhao family has even asked my boss to lobby them. If I don't agree, they'll create public pressure. It seems I have no choice but to marry her this time, or everything will be over for me."
