Chen Jiayi had always felt that the atmosphere between her parents and in-laws was a bit strange. When she went out with her mother to pick up her in-laws, she overheard those words.
She clearly saw a hint of dissatisfaction flash in Lan Meixuan's eyes, which she quickly concealed.
This was the first time Chen Jiayi had ever seen Lan Meixuan with such an expression. Lan Meixuan actually had a very good temper and rarely showed a bad face to anyone.
Lan Meixuan usually only shows her dissatisfaction when she is very angry.
However, in Chen Jiayi's memory, her mother rarely seemed to get angry.
She glanced at Lan Meixuan, then at Chen Meiyuan standing outside.
While they were talking, Lan Meixuan smiled and called them in to eat.
Chen Jiayi suddenly realized that there was something her mother didn't know, but she didn't ask her now because the timing wasn't right.
Shen Jialiang was helping in the kitchen. After everyone had gathered and sat down at the table, Shen Jialiang slowly walked out of the kitchen.
Seeing her son sitting in her in-laws' kitchen, Chen Meiyuan looked Shen Jiahao up and down several times.
Shen Jialiang, with his handsome face and indifferent expression, reached out and touched his face. Seeing Chen Meiyuan's strange look, he asked in a puzzled tone.
"Mom, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
"No, I'm just curious. You never go into the kitchen at your own home, so why are you always in the kitchen at your in-laws' house?"
Chen Meiyuan felt that her son was really pretentious and didn't hold back in exposing him.
Shen Jialiang responded with an "oh" without changing his expression, "That's because I wasn't home."
Upon hearing Shen Jialiang's answer, everyone burst into laughter.
Looking at her parents' happy faces, Chen Jiayi was momentarily dazed.
Even though she had a relationship with Shen Jialiang, Chen Jiayi never intended to marry him.
Chen Jiayi had thought about what marriage would be like before, but she felt that it didn't matter who she married.
But Shen Jialiang's words and his actions made Chen Jiayi feel respected.
Everyone knows that although we live in a new society, women's status is still low.
Therefore, Chen Jiayi felt it was very rare; a person who respects women can't be too bad, right?
Actually, getting married doesn't seem so bad.
As Chen Jiayi thought this, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Jialiang again.
Shen Jialiang was peeling crayfish for Chen Jiayi when he saw her turn to look at him, and he raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Tonight, we'll chat about everyday life, business, and the future.
They are family and friends, and Chen Jiayi feels that things are fine as they are now.
...
After finishing her meal, Chen Jiayi kept staring at the view outside the balcony.
She was wearing that silk nightgown. The wind was a bit strong that night, but Chen Jiayi seemed oblivious as she stood at the door.
Suddenly, someone walked up behind her, and Shen Jialiang draped a coat over her shoulders.
Are you thinking about Wang Yu?
Chen Jiayi nodded, "Mmm..."
For so many years, Wang Yu has been lying in the hospital. Her mother often cries, but Chen Jiayi can only watch because she has no way to wake Wang Yu up.
Chen Jiayi often studies and conducts experiments in the laboratory day and night, just so she can graduate as soon as possible, join the Ocean University Research Institute, and become a true scientific researcher.
Regarding the family business, Chen Jiayi's parents plan to have another child so that the child can inherit the family business.
If the child isn't interested in finance either, then it doesn't really matter.
Parents work hard to earn money so that their children won't have to suffer so much in the future.
They successfully raised their child; as for what happens to the child in the future and how the child develops, that's their own business.
Even if they have another child who doesn't inherit, they can wait for Chen Jiayi's child to inherit!
Chen Jiayi originally thought it would be too dangerous for her mother to have another child, given her advanced maternal age.
However, Lan Meixuan's physical condition meets the standards for pregnancy, and her family is wealthy, so she will not suffer much during childbirth.
So, what's bothering Chen Jiayi right now is Wang Yu.
“Wang Yu is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, but she was unlucky. Not only was her identity stolen by Lin Yuyao, but her parents also didn’t love her.”
Wang Yu is now lying in the hospital. Over the years, the Lin family has only paid for her medical expenses a few times and has ignored her completely.
Shen Jialiang reached out and stroked Chen Jiayi's hair.
He didn't say anything, he just stayed by Chen Jiayi's side.
Chen Jiayi understood what Shen Jialiang meant. She rested her head on Shen Jialiang's shoulder, feeling anxious and helpless.
These things can't be rushed; the main problem is that Wang Yu himself lacks the will to survive.
Chen Jiayi felt it was all her fault for being too naive back then.
If something like this happens to a woman, she naturally won't be able to face reality. Not everyone has the strength to cope, to accept the comments and criticisms, or to accept being...exposed to their unpleasant side.
If she had paid more attention to Wang Yu back then, perhaps Wang Yu wouldn't have jumped off the building and become paralyzed.
Chen Jiayi sighed deeply and said nothing more.
After today, I will work even harder at school tomorrow.
Sooner or later, Wang Yu will wake up!
.
Ding Haowen kept driving, dozing off several times along the way, but he dared not stop, fearing that Lin Yuyao's men would catch up with him.
Li Yuzhu was startled by the sudden braking again. She couldn't control her temper and yelled at Ding Haowen.
How do you drive?
Ding Haowen was already exhausted from driving all night, and after being yelled at by his wife, he immediately retorted irritably.
"Then you drive it!"
Li Yuzhu can't drive. If she could, she would naturally take turns driving with Ding Haowen.
"When I said I wanted to learn to drive, you said there was a difference between men and women, and that most driving lessons were for men, not women. Now you want me to drive?"
"You'll listen to me just because I said so? Then why did you spend so much money instead of telling me not to spend any?"
"What are you talking about? What money did I spend?"
"What household expense doesn't cost money? How can you say something like that? Fine, if you dare let me drive, I'll drive! Get out of the way, as long as you're not afraid of dying!"
Li Sumei, who was sitting slumped behind him, dared not utter a sound.
If she were healthy, she would naturally point her finger at Li Yuzhu and scold her.
But after she became paralyzed, it was Li Yuzhu who took care of her.
If Li Sumei dared to show any disrespect to Li Yuzhu, Li Yuzhu would starve her! Even when Li Sumei needed to relieve herself, no one cared, and she ended up having to relieve herself on the bed in frustration.
After a period of time, Li Sumei became very clear about her role as a paralyzed woman unable to take care of herself.
Ding Haowen parked the car on the side of the road and said to Li Yuzhu in an annoyed tone.
"Come on, you drive!"
Li Yuzhu's temper flared up, and she stubbornly sat in the driver's seat.
