Chapter 198 Blood is Thicker than Water



While peeling garlic, Su Jianwei said, "Aunt, why don't you just ask the person involved in this matter."

"I'm just Dandan's friend. I can't interfere with where she spends the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Besides, she should be in Pengcheng now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ke said, "But your mother is Dandan's godmother."

"Yes, godmother, I did it." Su Jianwei looked at Chen Ke and said.

Chen Ke should have sensed that Su Jianwei was a little unhappy, but thinking that Su Jianwei was now her junior, she said, "When she comes back, can you bring her to meet me?"

"No matter what, I am her aunt."

"Aunt, you haven't seen her much in the past ten years and didn't miss her, so you shouldn't miss her so much now."

Su Jianwei looked at Chen Ke, whose face darkened slightly, and continued, "If you want to ease the relationship between Dandan and Chen Qi, I advise you not to waste your time."

"What Ms. Chen Qi did is truly unspeakable. And in Dandan's eyes, she is no different from this clove of garlic in my hand."

Chen Ke looked at the garlic in Su Jianwei's hand and felt that Su Jianwei had no respect for his elders at all.

Unexpectedly, Su Jianwei hadn't finished speaking yet. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, our Dandan really likes eating garlic. It seems that I can't use this as a metaphor."

When Chen Ke's face darkened, Lin Yulan pulled her daughter behind her and said to Chen Ke, "I think it's better for us outsiders not to interfere in other people's family affairs."

"No one is Dandan, so no one has the right to make decisions for her."

After Lin Yulan finished speaking, she took the garlic cloves from Su Jianwei's hand, pushed her, and said, "Go see what your grandma is doing. I'm enough here. Let's eat right away."

Su Jianwei nodded, smiled and said to Chen Ke, "I'm going out," then left the kitchen.

Chen Ke's mood only lasted for a short while in the kitchen. During lunch, she was still the same caring aunt as usual.

After lunch, when Zhou Shoujun called Su Jianwei to the study alone, Chen Ke was still a little nervous.

She was afraid of her father-in-law, fearing that Su Jianwei would report her to Zhou Shoujun.

Zhou Jianshen noticed his mother's mood and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Ke clutched the water cup in his hand and said, "Nothing."

"Nothing? But you have already looked upstairs four or five times." Zhou Jianshen obviously did not believe what Chen Ke said.

Chen Ke was panicking. Thinking about how his eldest son had always been a mature and steady person, and how he was valued by his father, he simply said to him, "Isn't she still your aunt?"

"She's not doing well right now, so she wants me to contact Shan Dandan, your cousin."

Zhou Jianshen frowned and asked, "Why contact her?"

"They are mother and daughter, so of course they should get in touch to clear up the misunderstanding between them."

"Your aunt is a little confused and has handled her emotions inappropriately."

"But she is still your cousin who was born after ten months of pregnancy." Chen Ke sighed and said, "You are a boy, so you don't understand. Although medical technology has improved, giving birth to a child is still like stepping into the gates of hell for a woman."

"So?" Zhou Jianshen looked at his mother and asked.

"So I think your cousin should be more understanding of your aunt. Blood is thicker than water. Although your aunt has wronged Shan Qiang, she has never done anything wrong to your cousin..."

Zhou Jianshen interrupted his mother when he heard this, "Mom, if you have nothing to do, why not spend more time on Zhou Jianxin's studies?"

Zhou Jianxin, who was chasing Lu Zheng in the yard and wanted to compete with him, glanced at the living room with a sense of meaning.

What's going on? I suddenly felt a chill on my back.

Zhou Jianshen continued, "Your son's grades are almost at the bottom, and you don't care. Why do you meddle in other people's affairs?"

Chen Ke frowned and said, "How can your aunt be an outsider? She..."

"She's greedy, vain, and treacherous. The things she's done have caused Grandma and Grandpa endless grief over the years. Can't you see that?"

"She came to you to ask for help in this matter today, didn't she? Have you ever thought about why she came to you instead of going to Shan Dandan herself?"

Chen Ke explained: "Your aunt is feeling guilty..."

"Ha!" Zhou Jianshen sneered, "Don't you think the word 'guilt' is particularly ridiculous when applied to Chen Qi?"

"Zhou Jianshen!"

"Mom, she's using you as a gun."

Zhou Jianshen looked at his mother and sighed inwardly, then continued, "She knew you were going to try to trick Aunt and Sister, and that upsetting Aunt would make Grandma angry, and might even alienate you from Dad, but she still let you do it."

"You, I didn't, she..." Chen Ke stammered.

"Mom, she's jealous of you."

Zhou Jianshen hit the nail on the head. "You should be very clear about how important Auntie is to Grandpa, Grandma, and even Dad. Auntie is the heart of the family. Even though Auntie has returned now, Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad will never let her suffer any injustice."

"Even if it was me who wronged her, it was you."

Chen Ke looked at his son who was analyzing things very clearly and said, "I just mentioned it a few times, but I didn't say anything else. After all, I'm still the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, right?"

"It's Jianxin and I's mother." Zhou Jianshen looked at his mother solemnly and said, "Mom, between me and Chen Qi, who do you think is more dedicated to your well-being?"

Chen Ke looked at his son, who was even more serious than his father, and said silently, "You."
