Chapter 281
Hearing these gossips, Huang Bin clenched the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with both hands. His knuckles turned white from excessive force, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged as if they were about to break through the constraints of the skin.
In the distance, Shen Wufan was seen with a sullen face grabbing his sister’s hand and dragging her into the house until she disappeared from everyone’s sight.
"Don't you know what day it is today? Do you have to make your mother unhappy?"
Although Mrs. Shen appears to be a peaceful person, she is actually a person who cares a lot about her reputation.
The preparations for this birthday party started a month ago.
The items displayed in the house and every plant and tree in the yard have all been carefully cared for and maintained.
Originally, Old Mrs. Shen was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Meng Zhiwei and his son could not come to the birthday party, but she finally stopped making a fuss after being coaxed by Song Hui for a long time.
I thought it was better if he didn't come, and if he did, he would be annoying, so it's better to out of sight and out of mind.
Now that this matter was brought up again, the old lady was naturally unhappy and even felt humiliated.
Shen Xiu lowered her head and stammered, trying to explain, but Shen Wufan didn't give her a chance to speak.
He continued to scold him harshly.
"I really don't know what's going on in your mind. You ignore your own son and pick up someone else's son like a treasure!"
"He is a cripple, but he came all the way here just for you, fearing that you would be wronged in the Shen family."
"Ask yourself, have we ever been sorry?"
"You've been the only one who's felt wronged all this time, right? When you said you were leaving, did you ever think about how to clean up the mess? Have you ever thought about what your father and mother had to endure in order to appease the anger of the Li family?"
The Li family has an only son named Li Tongguang, who is a classmate and good friend of Shen Zimo. He has also been in love with Shen Xiu for many years. The two can be considered childhood sweethearts and are a perfect match.
Li Tongguang's father holds a high position, so their marriage can be said to be of great benefit to the Shen family.
Especially for Shen Zimo's career.
result.
No one would have thought that Shen Xiu, who had been well-educated, quiet and docile since childhood, would elope with someone.
Li Tongguang even compromised and said that as long as Shen Xiuken came back, he would still be willing to marry her.
Unfortunately, the flowing water is affectionate, but the falling flowers are ruthless.
Shen Xiu was determined to marry Meng Zhiwei, and was even willing to damage her own reputation in order to resist the marriage.
In order to appease the Li family's anger, Mr. Shen went to apologize in person, but fell ill shortly afterwards.
The Li family did not pursue any further matters, but the relationship between the Li and Chen families was completely broken.
Fortunately, Li Tongguang was an upright person and did not vent his anger on Shen Zimo. Although the two did not become uncle-in-law, their friendship as classmates remained.
Shen Zimo hated his sister Shen Xiu for this.
After Mr. Shen passed away, Mrs. Shen cherished the family's ability to be together more and more. Although she was angry with Shen Xiu, after all, he was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.
The older you get, the more you want your children to be around you.
Only then did Shen Xiu have the opportunity to go home.
The elder sister's words were like iron nails that pierced deeply into Shen Xiu's spine.
She took a deep breath and slowly raised her red eyes, "Sister, if you were given a chance, would you rather have Cheng'er come back to you, or would you rather marry someone you don't love for the sake of the Shen family and Shen Zimo's future!"
This question obviously stumped Shen Wufan.
She rejected it coldly: "There is no such if!"
"Because you can't give up your daughter, right?"
Shen Xiu laughed, tears rolling down her cheeks, "Maybe I have let my parents down, but I have never done anything to let you down. You are just my sister, I am not a puppet that you can control my life with!"
Shen Wufan was furious, "Shen Xiu! What do you mean by this? Do you think I have no right to control you?"
"An elder sister is like a mother! No matter what, I have the right to teach my younger sister a lesson!"
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open with a bang, and a gust of cold wind rushed in with a beautiful figure.
"What a great elder sister who is like a mother!"
Lin Ziqiu’s voice was cold, as if carrying an invisible deterrent force, which shocked Shen Wufan.
Following behind her were Tian Xiaofeng and Song Hui.
Song Hui didn't seem to stop her, and looked a little anxious, "Aunt, today is grandma's birthday party. We can talk about it later if there is anything. Don't let the guests outside laugh at you."
Shen Wufan also reacted and didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, after all, she hadn’t had time to recognize Lin Ziqiu, her granddaughter.
"Forget it, let's go out and eat first." She glanced at Shen Xiu, "Behave yourself later, stay by your mother's side, and don't run around anymore."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Ziqiu's mouth curled up into an icy arc, and instead of getting angry, he smiled, "Go on, weren't you quite excited just now?"
"Let me hear what my aunt Chen did wrong. She is old and still has to be scolded and wronged by her sister in her own home."
Song Hui reached out and pulled Lin Ziqiu, his voice was flattering and negotiating, "Xiaoqiu, I know you are also worried about my aunt. Even if you want to stand up for her, you should ask her what she thinks."
As he spoke, he reminded Shen Xiu, "Aunt, grandma has a bad heart. You definitely don't want her to worry about these things on a day like today."
Shen Xiu clenched her fists, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She understood the implication of Song Hui's words.
But she is a human being!
She also has a heart!
Why, it seems like it's always her fault.
Lin Ziqiu didn't take it seriously and smiled, "Heart disease? What a coincidence, my Ah Qing happens to have quite a lot of accomplishments in this area. For Aunt Shen's sake, Ah Qing might be able to help her cure it."
After saying that, she walked to Shen Xiu's side and gently wiped the tears from her face, "Aunt Shen, don't be afraid. If you have any grievances, tell them all today. If they don't give you justice, I will!"
Shen Xiu's eyes were red. She had never thought that there would be someone who, even though she said nothing, could understand her grievances and even stand up to support her at all costs.
Outside the door, Song Qiao was chasing after Song Hui.
Hearing Lin Ziqiu's words, he felt furious.
She had to behave herself very cautiously in both the Shen and Song families, fearing that she might do something wrong and displease her family, so she lived her life very cautiously.
How could Lin Ziqiu be so confident?
How dare you talk back to your mother! ?
"Lin Ziqiu! Don't go too far! No matter what, this is our Shen family's family affair! You are just a cook, don't you see your own status? You treat something that is not presentable as a dish!"
“Shut up!”
“Shut up!”
Two voices sounded at the same time.
From Shen Wufan and Song Hui.
Song Qiao took a few steps back in disbelief, biting her lip, not understanding what was going on. "Mom! Did I say something wrong?"
