Meng Xueyun lowered her eyelids, her eyes flickering, not daring to look directly at Meng Zihan.
She murmured, her lips trembling, "Your uncle and I grew up together and have been married for so many years, how can I just let go like that..."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan's anger flared up instantly.
My aunt is so stupid and clumsy!
Did Ye Zhenghua make a common mistake?
That's a matter of principle, a very serious issue.
He's already having an affair with another woman, yet his aunt still clings to that ridiculous "feeling."
If there were real feelings involved, would Ye Zhenghua have done something like this?
She glared at Meng Xueyun with exasperation, about to speak, when the ward door creaked open.
Ye Zhenghua walked in carrying a thermos and radiating cold air.
He rubbed his face as if nothing had happened, and said to Meng Xueyun with a smile, "It's so much warmer inside. You don't know, the wind outside is like a knife, it hurts my face."
When Meng Xueyun saw him, her previously low spirits instantly vanished, and joy filled her eyes and brows.
But thinking about what he had done and what he had said at the hospital, anger welled up inside him again.
She frowned and glared angrily at Ye Zhenghua.
"What are you doing here? We don't need you! Go find your little slut!"
Ye Zhenghua wasn't angry at all. He picked up the insulated box in his hand and explained to her.
"It's Chinese New Year today, and you're probably too busy in the hospital to prepare food, so I went out and bought some to bring to you."
"Everyone else is celebrating the New Year happily, we can't be too far behind."
"It's a pity all the restaurants outside are closed, so I just went to the cafeteria and got some good dishes. Make do with this for now, we'll make up for it when we get back."
Meng Xueyun's heart softened immediately, realizing that Ye Zhenghua still cared about her.
His anger had largely dissipated, and he reached out to take the insulated box.
Meng Zihan reacted quickly, grabbing Meng Xueyun and saying to Ye Zhenghua, "Who cares about your things! If you hadn't pushed me to the ground, would my child be gone? You don't need to pretend to be so sympathetic!"
Ye Zhenghua immediately felt embarrassed and was also very angry.
Meng Zihan really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.
This is between him and Meng Xueyun, why is she, a niece, meddling?
Besides, what does Meng Zihan's fall have to do with him at all?
He was arguing with Meng Xueyun at the time and didn't even touch Meng Zihan. Who knows how this girl fell down?
He suppressed his anger and explained, "Xiaohan, you've misunderstood. I didn't push you at all. I wasn't even next to you at the time, so how could I have pushed you? It must have been that Liu Mingxuan who did it. If you want to blame someone, blame him."
"Also, your claim that I was immoral is a misunderstanding. There really was nothing between me and that temporary worker. She's a divorced woman with a child, it's not easy for her. I just wanted to help her and help her get a permanent position."
"Besides, she's from the countryside, has a child, and doesn't earn much. She's not as good as your aunt. Why would I abandon your aunt to get entangled with her?"
"These are all misunderstandings. Don't talk nonsense anymore; it's not good for the family."
Meng Zihan didn't believe his nonsense and shouted, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"
She straightened up, snatched the insulated box from Ye Zhenghua's hand, and opened it.
The aroma of braised pork and pickled fish wafts through the air.
She couldn't help but swallow, but her words remained sharp.
"The food you brought is so oily and heavy on the flavor. I just had surgery, how can I possibly eat it?"
Ye Zhenghua turned green from her scolding, snatched the insulated box, and spoke harshly.
"This is for your aunt and me! It's Chinese New Year today, of course we should eat well! As for yours, I'll go to the hospital cafeteria later to buy you a special meal for patients!"
Meng Zihan is really clueless. Doesn't she know what it means to advise reconciliation rather than separation?
What good would it do for her if I divorced her aunt?
If it weren't for the fact that he still had to coax Meng Xueyun, Ye Zhenghua would really like to teach this ungrateful brat a lesson!
But Meng Xueyun dotes on Meng Zihan the most, and she has just had surgery and looks like she's about to die. If she really argues with Meng Zihan, Meng Xueyun will definitely be unhappy.
He had been suppressing his anger and patiently talking to Meng Zihan, but Meng Zihan showed no tact whatsoever and continued to argue relentlessly.
"Wait a minute? I'm hungry now, go buy some right now!"
Ye Zhenghua's temple throbbed with anger. Pointing at her, he said to Meng Xueyun, "Look at this! Look at this! Is this how you treat your elders? Where is her utmost respect for me?"
Meng Xueyun, however, did not side with Ye Zhenghua, but instead spoke up for Meng Zihan.
She glared at him reproachfully: "Xiaohan isn't feeling well, can't you be a little more understanding? Alright, alright, if you don't want to buy it, I'll go."
After saying that, she said gently to Meng Zihan, "Xiaohan, wait for me, I'm coming right now."
Ye Zhenghua clenched his fists in anger. If it weren't for trying to appease Meng Xueyun, he would have really wanted to walk away.
He let out a long breath and forced a smile.
"No need, no need, it's too cold outside, I'll go buy it myself." She then smiled and said to Meng Xueyun, "Xiao Meng, wait for me to come back, we'll have dinner together."
After saying that, he placed the thermos and lunchbox on the table and quickly left the ward.
Meng Xueyun watched Ye Zhenghua's retreating figure, sighed softly, and turned to Meng Zihan, saying, "Xiaohan, he's still your uncle, don't speak so harshly."
Meng Zihan was immediately displeased: "Auntie, such a big thing, you forgive him just because he bought some food?"
Meng Xueyun shook her head helplessly: "What can I do if I don't forgive him? Do I really want to divorce him? He earns a lot of money, and if we really divorce, our lives will definitely not be as good as they are now. Besides, we're both getting old. What will I do after the divorce? I might find someone else who is even worse than him."
"Marriages that happen later in life are often fraught with problems."
Seeing her attitude, Meng Zihan immediately became anxious.
"Auntie, have you forgotten what I just told you? We can live together."
Meng Xueyun, however, was not optimistic.
“I know what you mean, but I got the job at the factory because of his connections. If we get divorced, and he does something bad to get me out of my job, how are we going to live?”
"And you, you can't stay with me forever. You'll eventually have to find someone to marry. What will I do then? When I go home, I'll be all alone, with no one to talk to. If I'm sick, there won't be anyone to pour me a drink of water."
“Now that he knows he was wrong, I don’t need to hold a grudge. This will be leverage over him in the future, allowing me to control him.”
"Isn't that how life goes?"
"Auntie!" Meng Zihan protested.
Meng Xueyun immediately assured her, "Don't worry, I definitely won't forgive him easily. Your aunt knows you want to move back. He made a mistake this time. When he comes back, I'll tell him that if he wants to continue living together, you'll have to move back in. Is that okay?"
