044: Second marriage is not easy, Lin Meixian explodes
Chen Yan has known Xu Yao for as long as he has known Wen Yiyi.
Chen Yan called Xu Yao "Yao Yao" and always addressed Wen Yiyi by her full name, never calling her "Yiyi" affectionately.
Xu Yao was stunned for a moment.
Chen Yan acted as if he didn't see Xu Yao and Gu Jun. Wen Yiyi was also very cooperative. After listening to Chen Yan's words, she stopped provoking Xu Yao and walked into the Wen family villa with Shen Yan, chatting and laughing.
Seeing Xu Yao was speechless, Gu Jun frowned slightly: "Are you okay?"
Xu Yao seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She rubbed her arms vigorously. "It's not good at all. That 'Yi Yi' gave me goosebumps. I've never felt that reduplicated words are so corny before!"
As soon as Gu Jun's face was tense, Xu Yao broke it down.
"Is that the point?"
"...What do you think is the key point?"
Xu Yao kicked the ball back to Gu Jun.
Xu Yao knew what Gu Jun meant, but she didn't like Gu Jun's way of communicating without saying what he wanted to say directly. If Gu Jun wanted to hear an answer from her, he had to ask clearly first!
Xu Yao can come to the Wen family villa, and of course Chen Yan can come too, not to mention Wen Yiyi. It is only natural for people to come back to their own home.
Seeing Xu Yao walking forward, Gu Jun could only follow behind with the fruit in his hand.
Lin Meixian heard the noise and was waiting in the yard. When she saw Xu Yao, she smiled and said, "Come in with me. You must be hungry after work. Dinner will be served soon."
"mom!"
Gu Jun called out to Lin Meixian before Xu Yao could, "It's getting cold. Don't stand in the yard waiting for us next time."
Lin Meixian was initially furious about Xu Yao's decision to get married quickly, but eventually she had to accept the established reality. After meeting Gu Jun in person, Lin Meixian couldn't find any fault with him, and she accepted him as her son-in-law. It wasn't Gu Jun's fault that his family was poor; he had already changed his fate through schooling, and building a family fortune wasn't easy.
Gu Jun is good-looking and respectful to Lin Meixian, and Lin Meixian is also close to him.
Seeing that the two boxes of fruit in Gu Jun's hands were not cheap, Lin Meixian kept complaining to him, "I asked you to come for a home-cooked meal, so what else do you bring? It's not easy to earn a salary from work, so you should save money in the future."
"I listen to my mother."
Gu Jun did not confront Lin Meixian.
Xu Yao was in a daze: The guy named Gu can actually talk nicely, it just depends on whether he is willing to do so!
Xu Yao asked Lin Meixian, "I saw Chen Yan bring Wen Yiyi back. What's going on with them now?"
Lin Meixian's smile faded a little. "Wen Yiyi went to work at the Shen family company and spent every day with Shen Yan. Now their relationship is much closer than before. Your uncle Wen just spoke to Shen Yan's father on the phone yesterday, and today Shen Yan suddenly accompanied Wen Yiyi home."
It turned out that Wen Yiyi took Chen Yan home, and Lin Meixian only found out about it when the time came.
Xu Yao couldn't help but hold Lin Meixian's hand and whispered: "Uncle Wen is worried——"
Lin Meixian squeezed Xu Yao's palm and said, "Don't worry about me. A married couple who got married later in life will never be as good as the original one. I was mentally prepared before I married your Uncle Wen."
Gu Jun understood.
Wen Zhicheng really wanted to bring Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan together, and the Wen family and the Shen family had even reached a consensus.
In this way, Wen Zhicheng's decision to ask Wen Yiyi to move out, forcing her to run away from home and letting her be taken in by the Shen family may have been planned in advance - separating Wen Yiyi and Lin Meixian was fake, and creating opportunities for Wen Yiyi was the real thing. Wen Zhicheng really loved Wen Yiyi.
Gu Jun felt sorry for Lin Meixian.
On the day of the wedding, Wen Zhicheng showed his deep affection for Lin Meixian, even going so far as to forbid Wen Yiyi from attending the banquet and gifting her a priceless pigeon egg wedding ring. Gu Jun initially believed Lin Meixian had found a good partner for remarriage, but now it seems Wen Zhicheng's affection for her was genuine.
Wen Zhicheng is still on guard against Lin Meixian!
Not only did he guard against Lin Meixian, but he also gave Lin Meixian a bad reputation. Others thought that Lin Meixian was a vixen who persuaded Wen Zhicheng to drive away his own daughter.
As a son-in-law, Gu Jun has no right to discuss this matter with his mother-in-law, while Xu Yao, as a daughter, has the right to do so but can't say anything.
Xu Yao was heartbroken.
Xu Yao's heart twisted into a knot when she thought that Wen Zhicheng did not show that he loved Lin Meixian that much.
So what if it’s a second marriage? Does that mean it’s less trustworthy?
When Xu Qinghua was alive, he and Lin Meixian were a loving couple. After Xu Qinghua's death, Lin Meixian had no plans to remarry. It was Wen Zhicheng who cared about Lin Meixian in every way and moved her with his diligent efforts.
If you are on guard, why bother getting married?
Xu Yao's emotions were surging. She kept her face tense and didn't say a word. When she entered the room, she saw Wen Zhicheng sitting on the main sofa in the living room. Chen Yan and Wen Yiyi were sitting on either side of Wen Zhicheng. Wen Yiyi was pouting and throwing a tantrum. Wen Zhicheng's expression was both helpless and doting.
"I've really spoiled Yiyi. Thank you so much for your tolerance. I'd be so thankful if she could learn something in your company!"
Chen Yan was not stingy with his praise for Wen Yiyi, "Yiyi is actually very smart. She can quickly master anything she learns."
These three people are like a family.
Xu Yao and the other two seemed like outsiders who had accidentally broken into someone else's home.
Gu Jun looked at Xu Yao holding Lin Meixian's hand. The mother and daughter could only rely on each other, just like Gu Jun and his grandfather Gu Haishan who depended on each other for survival. Gu Jun felt a bitter feeling in his heart. It was pity for Xu Yao.
"Miss Wen just moved out a few days ago, and she's moved back so soon?"
Gu Jun suddenly spoke up, and Wen Yiyi squinted at him with a half-smile: "This is my home. I can leave when I want and come back when I want. What does it have to do with an outsider like you? You don't think that just because you married Xu Yao, you become the son-in-law of the Wen family, and you think you have the right to express your opinion!"
Gu Jun corrected Wen Yiyi's self-righteousness, "Xu Yao's last name is not Wen, so of course I am the son-in-law of the Xu family."
Is it a great honor to be the son-in-law of the Wen family?
Gu Jun doesn’t care!
Gu Jun's attitude angered Wen Yiyi. Seeing that Wen Yiyi was about to lose her temper, Wen Zhicheng quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Yiyi, Xu Yao is a few months older than you. Gu Jun is considered your brother-in-law. You should be polite when talking to him!"
"I was very polite to him. He was the one who found fault with me first. Do I have to report to him in advance before I go home? Dad, whose side are you on?"
Wen Yiyi doesn't even recognize Xu Yao as her sister, so how could she recognize Gu Jun as her brother-in-law?
However, Wen Yiyi seemed to have become smarter after not seeing her for a few days. Now she no longer yelled when talking to Wen Zhicheng. Her tone was soft, and no matter how unpleasant the words were, they sounded like a little girl acting coquettishly.
Without waiting for Wen Zhicheng to speak again, Lin Meixian said calmly, "This is the Wen family. Yiyi, of course you can come back whenever you want. But Yiyi, next time you bring guests home for dinner, you should let me know in advance. After all, I'm the one who takes care of all the trivial matters at the Wen family now. If you suddenly bring guests home without saying hello like you did today, I'll be inadequate to my hospitality."
Wen Zhicheng was embarrassed. "Yiyi actually called, but I forgot to tell you. I'll ask Auntie to cook a few more dishes now."
"No."
Lin Meixian's gentleness was tempered by a certain firmness. "How can we serve guests well with a meal prepared in such a hurry? In the end, no one can enjoy the meal properly. How about this? Yiyi and Shen Yan will stay home with you for dinner, and I'll take Xu Yao and Gu Jun out to eat. Without the three of us outsiders here, you two will feel more comfortable talking."
Lin Meixian did not seek Wen Zhicheng's opinion. She only informed Wen Zhicheng after making the decision.
No matter how Wen Zhicheng tried to persuade her to stay, Lin Meixian still left with Xu Yao and Gu Jun.
"Meixian!"
Wen Zhicheng chased him into the yard, "Please be considerate of me..."
Lin Meixian was firm in her principles. "I understand you, but who will understand me? Don't you know how harshly people say I am? I am the evil stepmother they talk about! Gu Jun, drive."
Gu Jun and Xu Yao both felt that Lin Meixian's behavior was very satisfying, and Gu Jun started the car without hesitation.
In the living room of the Wen family, Chen Yan leaned against the armrest of the sofa and watched the farce of the Wen family with great interest. He warned Wen Yiyi seriously: "Aunt Lin is a very wise woman. You have to be careful of her, otherwise you will really have no place to stand in the Wen family in the end."
Wen Yiyi disagreed, "She's not the only one who can please my dad. I won't go against my dad in the future. I'll get the family property first and then deal with Lin Meixian and Xu Yao!"
