Chapter 108: The wife of a wealthy family is inferior to a country woman
Zhou Qingyan didn't beat around the bush and explained directly.
"The Zhou family has been in a mess lately. If you go abroad, you won't get involved in the mess."
How can we make a strong clarification in public opinion on the cross-border relationship between Zhou Yaya and Zhou Qingyan?
How will the Zhou-Shen family marriage between Shen Xufeng and Zhou Yaya end? Will the Zhou family force Wen Ning to protect this marriage relationship?
What kind of explanation will the Zhou family give for the dispute between Wen Ning and Zhou Yaya over the real daughter and the fake daughter?
All the things happened at the same time.
It is no exaggeration to say that the situation is a complete mess.
What Zhou Qinghe feared the most, or even felt chilled by, was that given the Zhou family's penchant for venting their anger and distorting right and wrong, if Wen Ning stayed here, the dirty water would definitely be thrown on her.
It was obvious that the source of all this chaos had nothing to do with Wen Ning, but in the eyes of the Zhou family, she would be the best person to take the blame.
Zhou Qinghe looked at Wen Ning gently and spoke slowly.
"Ningning, I know very well that when you first came out of the sanatorium, you wanted to burn your boats and ask the Zhou family for compensation so that you could leave here completely."
"It's just because I'm here that you're worried about me and insisted on staying."
Wen Ning sighed imperceptibly inwardly, then said, "No, brother. I was alone at the time, without any skills, and couldn't survive outside."
Zhou Qinghe stared at Wen Ning, his eyes filled with heartache.
Wen Ning has always been a person who only reports good news and not bad news. No matter how many hardships she goes through, she always faces them with a smile.
It was like this three years ago, and it will be like this three years later.
However, three years ago, Wen Ning announced the good news, saying that although she grew up in the mountains, she had never suffered any hardship or pain, and later lived a happy life in an orphanage.
At that time, he foolishly believed it and simply put his sister in a position where she needed protection.
But three years later, he realized more clearly how his sister walked out step by step through the thorns, and how painful and difficult the process was.
His sister was stronger, more independent, and more powerful than he gave her credit for.
Even if she is alone outside, she can rely on herself to get into a top university again and rewrite her own life.
However, when Wen Ning just left the sanatorium, he still regarded Wen Ning as someone who needed protection and wanted to keep her under his wings, so he persuaded her to stay in the Zhou family.
But now he thought about it, it was all because of his ignorance. He couldn't see that the vampires in the Zhou family could only pull her legs back, knock out her bone marrow, and suck her blood.
It was also because he was extremely stupid and unwilling to believe that there were really parents in this world who did not love their own children.
A thin layer of mist appeared in Zhou Qinghe's dark and gentle eyes, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Ningning, brother knows everything. I'm sorry."
Wen Ning was stunned, full of confusion, "Brother?"
Zhou Qinghe sighed and said, "I shouldn't have persuaded you to stay in the Zhou family, Ningning. I'm sorry. I only now realize that the Zhou family is a dangerous place for you. It turns out that there really are parents in this world who don't love their children."
At the end of his speech, Zhou Qinghe's voice was inexplicably tinged with sadness.
But to be honest, it’s not Zhou Qingyan’s fault.
After all, he didn't know the truth about the sanatorium, nor did he know the truth about the drugging three years ago. He also didn't realize that his so-called family had never accepted Wen Ning as a family from the beginning to the end.
When Wen Ning heard Zhou Qinghe's words, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he shook his head seriously.
"No."
"Because you are here, my brother, the Zhou family is no longer a place of danger. It is the home I have always kept in my heart."
They are twins who grew up together in the womb. It can even be said that they are closer than their parents.
When Zhou Yaya pushed the vase and falsely accused her of doing it, the others scolded her without caring, but Zhou Qinghe demanded to check the surveillance footage and prove her innocence!
When everyone scolded her for stealing the childhood marriage and being a despicable mistress, Zhou Qinghe was the only one who stood up, firmly believing that her sister was not that kind of person, and forced those dirty-mouthed people to apologize to Wen Ning!
Whether in the mountains, in the welfare home, or later when she returned to the Zhou family, no one cared about her. Only Zhou Qinghe really cared about her and loved her.
Wen Ning looked at Zhou Qinghe with fondness and said softly, "Brother, I'm the one who's more grateful. You're the first person who truly loves me."
Originally, Zhou Qinghe was still very happy, but suddenly heard a key word, the first person who loved her so much.
Doesn’t this mean that there will be a second and a third one?
A man's face suddenly appeared in front of me.
Zhou Qinghe didn't even have time to be moved. He immediately frowned and asked, "Then who is the second and third person who loves you?"
Although she was puzzled as to why Zhou Qinghe cared so much about this, she still replied frankly, "Sister Mengmeng and A Yan."
Zhou Qinghe knew who the "Sister Mengmeng" that Wen Ning mentioned was. She was the sister who had always protected Wen Ning in the sanatorium.
But Ayan?
Zhou Qinghe took a deep breath, "Teacher Gu treats you like an ordinary teacher treats his student, it can't be called love!"
"Isn't it?" Wen Ning smiled a little embarrassedly, his cheeks slightly red as he said, "You three are the best people in the world to me. I think you all love me very much."
Zhou Qinghe felt a pain in his heart.
His sister had a very hard life since she was a child. She had never met many people who were kind to her in her life. So any little kindness she showed was seen as a lot of love by her sister.
Zhou Qinghe inexplicably recalled something he had seen online: just because parents are reluctant to buy a girl even a piece of candy, then don't blame the girl for being cheated by a yellow-haired guy with a piece of candy.
Because that candy is a very precious thing in the eyes of girls.
Zhou Qinghe felt a strong pang of bitterness in his heart, and he really wanted to tell Wen Ning about the story of the yellow-haired man and the candy!
But then I thought about it, Gu Boyan had given me three months of dedicated teaching, two days of escort for the college entrance examination, and unconditional trust and support...
This is not a candy.
Gu Boyan gave a little too much.
But then she recalled Wen Ning's words. She had experienced betrayal from her loved ones so many times since she was little, and her heart had long since closed off, instinctively resisting intimacy...
Zhou Qinghe suppressed the repressed emotions that were spreading, cleared his throat and said, "My sister is so smart, beautiful, and outstanding. There will be more and more people who love you in the future."
Wen Ning curled his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and changed the subject, "By the way, brother, why don't we go abroad together? I'm worried about you staying here alone."
"Ningning, don't worry about me. I'm of no use to them right now." At this point, Zhou Qinghe even took the initiative to joke, "Do they need a cripple like me to arrange a marriage?"
Wen Ning frowned, "Brother, your leg will be healed soon."
Zhou Qinghe's eyes gradually filled with coldness. "When and whether to cure it is up to us to decide."
Wen Ning understood the meaning of this sentence in a flash of his eyes.
Gu Lao can heal the leg quickly.
But when this news will be announced depends on Zhou Qinghe himself.
Every day that his leg injury heals, Zhou Donghai and Lin Wanyi will feel more guilty towards him.
"But I'm still very worried." Wen Ning was still a little hesitant.
Zhou Qinghe said, "I'm your brother after all, it's okay. By the way, there's one million in this card, you can use it while you're abroad..."
Wen Ning shook his head and refused, "No, I have money now."
Zhou Qinghe refused to listen. "That money is for your living expenses at university, and this is money for your graduation trip."
Wen Ning shook his head. "Brother, it's really not necessary. I sold a prescription to Mr. Zhao's clinic a while ago, and he gave me a good share of the profits."
Zhou Qinghe was very happy, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Hearing this, Wen Ning blinked and said a little embarrassedly, "The money was just transferred to my card by Mr. Zhao two days ago. I haven't had time to tell you yet."
When in City A, Wen Ning helped Mr. Zhao almost every day, mostly helping to process herbs, but many times Mr. Zhao would also let her sit in when he treated patients.
Then, she saw many male patients coming to see her for andrology diseases.
Old Zhao complained to her angrily that men nowadays are weak and have insufficient yang energy because of lack of exercise, which is why they are weak!
Wen Ning recalled a folk remedy she had found in the mountains for treating kidney deficiency, and she modified several herbs based on the specific symptoms she had seen.
After all, the men in the mountains at that time did physical work every day, were strong and healthy, and used herbs with strong medicinal effects.
But now people’s qi and blood are not so sufficient, and they may not be able to be replenished, so we need to replace them with some herbs with milder effects.
Afterwards, Wen Ning handed the prescription to Mr. Zhao, who praised the prescription very much and offered to give her money. However, she was always grateful for Mr. Zhao's help and felt that the prescription was nothing big, so she refused to take the money.
But later, the male patient who took the medicine thought that the prescription was very effective and sent a banner to the clinic as well as a generous thank-you fee. After that, the clinic became famous in the surrounding area and many people came to see it.
The clinic also made a lot of money from this prescription.
Mr. Zhao insisted on transferring part of the profits generated by the prescription to Wen Ning's account, and made it clear that if Wen Ning did not accept it, he would not use this prescription in the future.
So, for this reason, she really has no shortage of money now.
Zhou Qinghe paused, feeling happy for Wen Ning but also a little regretful.
Wen Ning is obviously so smart and outstanding, but her development is restricted by her living conditions since childhood.
But then I put this thought behind my mind.
Wen Ning is right, people cannot be confined to the past.
If you allow yourself to wallow in the abyss of the past, you will not be able to see the future clearly.
After the two of them talked it out, Zhou Qinghe continued to go to Gu Lao for treatment.
Wen Ning stayed in the hospital as a volunteer.
The whole day was quite fulfilling and peaceful.
But things are quite turbulent on the Zhou family's side.
The Zhou family first tried to reduce the popularity of the search and delete the indecent photos, but the huge amount of money invested in the marketing company did not work.
They then used the official account to release a clarification, but netizens who loved to join in the fun didn't buy it at all.
But to put it bluntly, these scandals are just for fun and will not really shake the foundation of the Zhou family.
What really had a huge impact was that the Shen family publicly released the couple's letter of withdrawal from engagement.
After all, in recent years, Zhou's enterprises have been on a downward trend. Although they still occupy a wealthy position, they are actually just living off their past capital.
The loss of a big order during the college entrance examination period almost broke the Zhou family's capital chain. Now the Shen family has broken off the engagement and severed all cooperation with them, which is undoubtedly another fatal blow!
So, that day, Zhou Donghai took Zhou Yaya back to City A and told her to coax Shen Xufeng no matter what and not to cancel the engagement.
Brothers Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Qingci also returned to City A together.
As for Lin Wanyi, the original plan was to transfer her to another hospital, but perhaps because he thought of Lin Wanyi's crazy appearance, Zhou Donghai decided to keep her in City C for treatment.
Only a nanny was transferred from home to take care of her.
As for Wen Ning and Zhou Qinghe, Zhou was completely ignored.
In the evening.
In the ward where Lin Wanyi is.
Only Aunt Li was sitting by the bed, peeling an apple. She had a cell phone tucked between her ear and shoulder, and was talking on the phone with someone.
"Yes, I came to City C on a whim. My wife passed out from anger. I just asked the doctor, and she probably needs to sleep for another hour or so."
"After all, he's rich, and he lives in a luxurious single-bed room. But the room is a cold, grayish white, empty, and there's not even a single child guarding him!"
"Take us ordinary families, when we're sick and hospitalized, don't we always have two caregivers? And this is a wealthy family, with three sons and two daughters, yet there's not even one filial son by their bedside!"
"Look at you, you poor fellow. I've been here four hours now, and apart from the nurses who come to check on the ward, no one else has come."
"Being a wife of a wealthy family is not as comfortable as a country couple!"
Aunt Li was talking in high spirits when she suddenly saw Lin Wanyi, who was originally unconscious, suddenly open her two dark eyes.
She was so scared that she threw away the half-peeled apple and the fruit knife.
"Husband, Madam, you're awake!"
Lin Wanyi didn't say anything and just stared at her.
The effect of the powerful sedative still remained in her body, and her consciousness was a little fuzzy, but the words "five children, not one of them is guarding the ward" and "a rich lady is not as good as a country woman" echoed clearly in her ears.
An unbearable sadness surged in Lin Wanyi's heart, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a pair of invisible hands, making her unable to breathe.
Suddenly, Lin Wanyi jumped up from the hospital bed, covered her chest, turned her head and spat out a mouthful of sour water.
Aunt Li was startled, "Madam, Madam!"
At this moment, he turned around and saw Wen Ning passing by the door pushing a patient back to the ward. It was as if he saw a savior!
"Miss, Miss, you're here!"
"Your mother is vomiting acid, what should we do?"
