Chapter 199
Shen Yao and Ye Fuyue both went forward to coax Chen Guifeng.
"Mom, don't be angry, don't say such angry words." Shen Yao said.
"Mom, we don't know what the situation will be like yet. There's no need to get angry so early." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng looked at Ye Fuyue in confusion for a few times. Ye Fuyue nodded at her secretly. Chen Guifeng seemed to understand what Ye Fuyue meant.
She said to Shen Kang, "You're already a grown-up, and I can't control you anymore. But you should know clearly what lines you can and can't cross. You don't need me to teach you!"
After saying that, she went back to her room angrily, not even having the appetite to eat.
Ye Fuyue winked at Chen Yao and followed Chen Guifeng to her room.
Shen Yaoxian said to Shen Shun: "Shen Shun, go back to your room."
Shen Shun said "Huh?"
Although he knew it was inappropriate to say such a thing now, he still said, "I'm hungry and want to eat."
"Go back to your room first, I'll call you to eat later." Shen Yao said with a serious face.
Shen Shun was most afraid of his second brother being like this, so he could only go back to his room obediently.
Hearing Shen Shun close the door, Shen Yao glanced at the two children in the cradle again. After making sure that they were sleeping soundly and were not woken up, he said to Shen Kang: "Brother, I didn't want to interfere in your affairs, but you made Mom angry, so I have to say a few words."
"You know what the current climate is like. Forget about Zhu Zhiqing being your fiancée. What documents do you have to prove you two are husband and wife? You don't even have a marriage certificate, so you're not husband and wife. If you're not husband and wife and you do that kind of thing outside, aren't you afraid of being reported? If that happens, it won't just hurt you, but Zhu Zhiqing as well."
"You've always been a steady person. Why can't you wait until you two get married and do it openly behind closed doors at home? You don't usually drink, and suddenly you drank and something like that happened. Do you think that's reasonable?"
Shen Yao spoke in a rather obscure way, and he wasn't sure if his elder brother could understand.
Even if Shen Kang didn't understand, Shen Yao wouldn't say anything else, he had said everything he could say.
"I'll go call Shen Shun out for dinner." Shen Yao said and got up and left.
In Chen Guifeng's room, Ye Fuyue was still comforting Chen Guifeng.
Chen Guifeng was so angry that her hands were shaking. "Chen Kang has never given me any worries since he was a child. I thought he was the one I could trust the most, but who would have thought he would do such a thing! If he really had something going on with Zhu Zhiqing, he would have had no choice but to marry Zhu Zhiqing. This Zhu Zhiqing is obviously not a simple-minded person. Chen Kang can't drink at all. If it weren't for Zhu Zhiqing, he definitely wouldn't drink. There is definitely something fishy going on here!"
"Mom, it has already happened. There is no point in saying anything. Just say a few words to big brother. He won't listen if you say too much. Is there something fishy going on? What exactly does Zhu Zhiqing want to do? We will know in a few months, and then we will know how to deal with it. There is no point in getting angry now. Don't ruin your health." Ye Fuyue said.
Chen Guifeng thought about it and agreed.
If letting Chen Kang drink and not coming back all night was really arranged by Zhu Qiaoting, then Zhu Qiaoting would definitely take action afterwards.
At worst...
If Chen Kang can only marry Zhu Qiaoting, the worst that can happen is that they can move out and live on their own, so that they don’t get in the way at home, and don’t expect the family to control them!
But Chen Guifeng still hopes that Shen Kang will not marry someone like Zhu Qiaoting...
…
At the end of April, Zhong Lan finally finished her confinement and came out.
As soon as Zhao Yuan saw Zhong Lan sitting at the door of her house, he came over to chat with her.
"Zhong Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you've finished your confinement." Zhao Yuan said to Zhong Lan with a smile.
"yes."
Zhao Yuan leaned over to take a look at the baby girl in Zhong Lan's arms: "This is your daughter, right? She's so pretty. What's her name?"
"Zao'er, Yao Zao'er." Zhong Lan said.
Because the child was born prematurely, they named him "Zao", which sounds like the Chinese word "early" (早).
"Nice to hear." Zhao Yuan complimented, "I see you've become a lot rounder. You must be feeling quite comfortable during your confinement period."
"It's okay." Zhong Lan smiled.
Although Aunt Xie was not very happy that she had given birth to a daughter and was perfunctory about her confinement, not paying much attention to her, her family was very supportive and came to reprimand Aunt Xie and Yao Hong several times. Although Aunt Xie only paid a little more attention than before, Yao Hong was still quite dedicated and tried his best.
"I heard that Yao Yi and Lei Xiao are divorced?" Zhao Yuan suddenly leaned close to Zhong Lan and whispered.
Zhong Lan nodded: "Yeah."
"Didn't Yao Yi want to get divorced? Why did she get divorced anyway?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"I'm not too sure either. I'm in confinement after childbirth, so I don't necessarily know more than you do." Zhong Lan said.
Zhong Lan's words were false; she knew exactly why Yao Yi and Lei Xiao divorced. However, this was Yao Yi's personal matter, and Zhong Lan didn't want to talk about it publicly, lest it appear she was gossiping about her sister-in-law.
As for why Yao Yi and Lei Xiao divorced, it was naturally because the Lei family insisted on the divorce.
Yao Yi went to see Lei Xiao many times, but he only met with her twice. During those two meetings, Lei Xiao clearly and firmly stated his intention to divorce her. To quickly sever ties with Yao Yi, he even refused to let her return the betrothal gift.
The Lei family was so determined that even if Yao Yi disagreed, the marriage would still end in divorce.
Zhao Yuan understood that Zhong Lan couldn't possibly be unaware of the reasons why Yao Yi and Lei Xiao divorced. Even though she was in confinement after giving birth, she still lived under the same roof with Yao Yi, so how could she not be aware of her sister-in-law's affairs? Zhong Lan simply didn't want to discuss it with her.
Zhao Yuan felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Zhong Lan was a bit boring and couldn't even chat about gossip.
"Yao Yi and Lei Xiao are divorced, so she can only live in her parents' home?" Although Zhao Yuan felt uncomfortable, she still gossiped.
"Yes." Zhong Lan nodded.
"I heard that Yao Yi had been at odds with you before, and now she's moved back in with her parents. Will she take out her anger about the divorce on you?" Zhao Yuan stared at Zhong Lan and said.
Zhong Lan lowered her eyes.
How could it not be?
Yao Yi had been very kind to her for a while, but at that time, Yao Yi and Lei Xiao had not yet divorced, and Yao Yi was pretending to be kind to Lei Xiao. Now that they were divorced, Yao Yi no longer had to pretend, and her true nature was exposed again.
It was just that she was in confinement before, and no matter how angry Yao Yi was, she could only say that she was enjoying herself and eating well during her confinement period. The two of them had never had a direct conflict.
It was impossible for Zhong Lan to tell the truth to Zhao Yuan. If she said that too much, it would seem like she was spreading bad things about her sister-in-law.
Zhong Lan smiled vaguely and said, "Who knows?"
Zhao Yuan secretly curled his lips.
It's so boring, there's nothing to talk about gossip.
Zao'er in Zhong Lan's arms suddenly started crying.
