Chapter 190 Pu Xinnan
The tone was relaxed and casual, as if he was treating Shen Xufeng as an ordinary distant relative.
Everyone present could hear it.
The smile in the corners of Gu Boyan's eyes became even more intense.
Mrs. Shen's face also showed a little more relief.
Only Shen Xufeng was bewildered and incredulous, "Ning..."
But just as he uttered a word, Mrs. Shen interrupted him, "Okay, we are all family, so let's not stand outside the door and be polite. Bo Yan, Ning Ning, go in and do it first."
Gu Boyan gave face to his cousin and responded with a "yes".
Madam Shen also affectionately took Wen Ning's hand and walked inside, saying to her with a smile.
"Before coming here, I specifically asked Bo Yan about your taste. Today, I made everything you like. Don't be polite to your cousin later. You must eat more. Look at how thin you have become after such a long period of military training."
"Bo Yan has never had a girlfriend before. He was busy with work all day and didn't take good care of you. From now on, if you want to eat something, just come to your cousin's place. If you are busy with studies and it is inconvenient, just send me a message and we will make it and send it to your school."
Mrs. Shen was very enthusiastic, and Wen Ning felt a little embarrassed. "No need to bother, thank you, Auntie."
"What are you thanking me for? We're all family. Even though Boyan always calls me cousin, I was actually the one who raised him when he was little. I have a few photos of Boyan as a child here. I'll show them to you later."
Wen Ning glanced at Gu Boyan.
I saw him raising his hand to support his forehead, his face full of helplessness.
Wen Ning became interested instantly.
When they got to the private room, Mrs. Shen took out her treasures and shared them with Wen Ning. After looking at them for a while, she slapped her forehead again and said, "Look at my memory. I said this morning that I would make the Longjing tea that was just flown in today, but I forgot. Ningning, Boyan, you two sit here for a while. I'll go make tea."
Madam Shen went out with a smile on her face. As soon as she saw Shen Xufeng standing next to her, her face immediately turned cold. She lowered her voice and said, "Come with me!"
Shen Xufeng followed reluctantly.
When the two of them arrived on the first floor, a layer of frost covered Mrs. Shen's warm and gentle face. She said coldly, "Why, you don't even want to call me mom now?"
Shen Xufeng said suffocatingly, "I dare not!"
Madam Shen sighed lightly and said earnestly, "You have also seen that Ningning and Bo Yan have a very good relationship..."
Shen Xufeng interrupted impatiently, "It's because Gu Boyan relies on force and plunder that Wen Ning doesn't like him..."
With a snap, the crisp sound of slapping echoed in the air.
Madam Shen's eyebrows were raised, and her face was full of frost. "Are you clear-headed now?"
Shen Xufeng seemed like a boy who had been wronged and not understood by his parents, and he roared in collapse.
"Mom, I really don't understand. Are you willing to sacrifice your son's happiness just to lick the Gu family in Beijing?"
With a snap, there was another crisp slap.
Madam Shen’s eyes became increasingly cold, “What do you have to ask for?”
Chen Xufeng was like a stubborn bull at this moment. Even after being slapped twice, he refused to change his words. He stiffened his neck and said, "Where did I say anything wrong? Three years ago, Wen Ning clearly liked me. She liked me for such a long time. In the end, just because Gu Boyan took a fancy to her, he took her by force. Wen Ning was also forced to be with him."
"Mom, you're going too far. Isn't it just that the Gu family in Beijing is more powerful and influential than ours? In order to get close to them, you forced me not to pursue Wen Ning and to sacrifice my son's happiness for the sake of our family's success. Mom, you're really going too far!"
Mrs. Shen's eyes were full of disappointment when she looked at Shen Xufeng at this moment.
She thought her son could understand her.
But unexpectedly, Shen Xufeng actually thought this in his heart, "You said taking advantage of the situation, Xufeng, don't forget that you were already engaged to Zhou Yaya at that time, and you were only an engaged couple. You and Wen Ning had nothing to do with each other at all."
"Who said that? Wen Ning likes me. She has liked me since three years ago!" Shen Xufeng said confidently.
Mrs. Shen raised her lips in disappointment. "Yes, three years ago, you had a chance to be with Wen Ning. If you hadn't been such a coward three years ago, afraid to tell the truth when everyone was slandering her, how could Wen Ning have been labeled a mental patient and locked up in a sanatorium for three whole years?"
Chen Xufeng choked and said stubbornly through gritted teeth, "If Wen Ning truly loves me and is willing to forgive all the mistakes I've made, Mom, you shouldn't deprive me of my right to pursue happiness!"
Madam Shen looked at him for a long time before she exhaled softly, her voice full of fatigue, “Okay, since you think I did something wrong, then do what you think is right.”
"Huh?" Shen Xufeng was shocked. "Mom, you agreed?!"
Madam Shen turned her face away, not wanting to look at Shen Xufeng's face again. She said in a hoarse voice, "Since you are not satisfied with the path I arranged for you, then you should do what you think is right. Whether it comes true or it hurts, you have to bear the consequences of your own actions."
All along, Mrs. Shen only hoped that her son could grow up smoothly.
But now it seems that some hardships on the road to growth are still very necessary.
Shen Xufeng didn't hear the deep meaning in Madam Shen's words at all, and was quite happy, thinking that his sincerity finally touched Madam Shen!
He chuckled twice and immediately made a promise.
"Mom, you've been particularly fond of Wen Ning since three years ago, wanting her to be your daughter-in-law. Back then, I was blinded by that bitch Zhou Yaya and missed the opportunity. Now that I've truly realized my feelings, I will definitely win Wen Ning back and fulfill your wish from three years ago!"
"But don't worry, I will definitely compete fairly with my cousin. I will definitely not use any other tricks. I want to win fairly!"
When he said this, Shen Xufeng was full of vigor and vitality.
Mrs. Shen ignored her and turned around and walked upstairs.
Shen Xufeng subconsciously wanted to follow, but then he thought that Gu Boyan was also upstairs. In front of him, Shen Xufeng always felt a lot of pressure.
After hesitating for two seconds, he stopped and said to Mrs. Shen in front of him, "Mom, I have something to do today, so I'll go back first. Please tell Ning Ning for me. I'll go to her to apologize another day."
Mrs. Shen did not respond.
I don’t know if he didn’t hear it, or if he heard it but didn’t want to pay attention to it.
When she got upstairs, Mrs. Shen saw that the door of the private room, which had been closed, was now open, and in the distance she could see Gu Boyan and Wen Ning sitting side by side.
Mrs. Shen knocked on the door and walked in, a tired smile on her face, "Bo Yan, Ning Ning, I'm sorry, I didn't handle this matter well and caused you trouble."
It doesn't take much for everyone to know what the problem is that has not been handled.
As early as a few days ago, after Mrs. Shen received the harassing call from Chen Qingqing, she started to arrange to invite Gu Boyan and Wen Ning to dinner. However, because Shen Xufeng was a stubborn donkey, she had to persuade him to apologize to Wen Ning today after several days of persuasion.
But unexpectedly, even though everyone was invited today, Shen Xufeng acted foolishly again. Not only did he not understand the original intention of today's meal, he even blamed her.
Mrs. Shen is now tired and sad.
Gu Boyan said generously, "Cousin, don't worry about this matter. After all, I am his uncle. As an uncle, it is my duty to help educate my nephew."
When Mrs. Shen heard what Gu Boyan said, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Although Mrs. Shen and Gu Boyan's mother are of different generations, they are of similar age and have had a good relationship since childhood.
Madam Shen has been taking care of Gu Boyan since he was born. She is naturally aware of her cousin's character. He appears to be docile and polite in front of others, but how could he be gentle and harmless when he emerged from all the evildoers in the Gu family and took the position of the head of the Gu family?
Madam Shen opened her lips and subconsciously wanted to beg for mercy, but she changed her mind and swallowed her words when she thought of Shen Xufeng's various behaviors.
Education is not just about protection.
How can you succeed without going through hardships?
Besides, Gu Boyan is his cousin after all, he would never kill him.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen also smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, the cousin, to educate your nephew well."
Gu Boyan agreed as a matter of course.
Next, the three of them had a sumptuous dinner together. During the meal, Mrs. Shen would occasionally tell some interesting stories about Gu Boyan's childhood, and Wen Ning's eyes were curved when he listened.
After dinner, Gu Boyan sent Wen Ning back to school.
On the way back, Wen Ning suddenly received a strange phone call. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Lin Wanyi sobbing in grievance.
"Ningning, it's me, I'm mommy, woo woo woo."
If it were in the past, Lin Wanyi would have definitely opened her mouth to scold, but this made her burst into tears.
Wen Ning raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, "Mrs. Lin, just tell me what you want to say."
Lin Wanyi sniffed and snorted in dissatisfaction, "Your mother has been bullied like this, and you don't even feel sorry for me."
Oh, nothing has changed.
Familiar accusations and complaints.
Wen Ning said calmly, "It's okay, I'm hanging up."
"Wait!" Lin Wanyi said hurriedly, "Something's happening, something's happening!"
Wen Ning did not reply, waiting for Lin Wanyi's next words.
Lin Wanyi said, "I'm at the xx Hotel. You and Gu Boyan can come and pick me up."
Wen Ning laughed when he heard that. "I'm busy."
"You're talking nonsense. You're free to have dinner with Mrs. Shen, but you don't have time to come and pick me up. I'm still your mother!" Lin Wanyi yelled loudly.
During dinner, Wen Ning and Mrs. Shen added each other's contact information, and found out that she had posted a circle of friends about them having dinner together half an hour ago.
But I didn't expect that Lin Wanyi would have a tantrum from here.
She replied coldly, "I'm busy, hanging up."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and blocked the number.
It’s not that Wen Ning is always willing to answer Lin Wanyi’s calls. It’s just that she always uses a new number every time she calls, and if the call doesn’t go through, Wen Ning has no idea who is calling.
Gu Boyan asked with concern, "Is it Madam Lin's call?"
Wen Ning hummed, "It's like a dog-skin plaster, I can't get it off even if I shake it off."
I have to say, this description is very appropriate.
Gu Boyan smiled and handed his phone to Wen Ning. "Maybe he was wronged outside and wanted to vent his anger on you."
Wen Ning took the phone curiously and clicked on it, which revealed a video.
In the magnificent hotel banquet hall, noble ladies in haute couture gowns sat together, holding red wine glasses, chatting and laughing.
"Lin Wanyi is the epitome of someone who plays a good hand badly."
"Who said it wasn't true? He's blind and deaf. He doesn't love his own daughter, but loves his mistress's illegitimate daughter. It's really a laughing stock."
"It's all your own fault. If you'd treated Wen Ning better, you'd now have a daughter who topped the college entrance exam and a son-in-law who's a prince from the Beijing circle. You could be said to be the most distinguished and wealthy wife in City A."
"You, shut up right there. Wen Ning is my biological daughter after all. We are still connected even if our bones are broken. There is no need for you to sow discord between us." Lin Wanyi replied angrily and coldly.
"Tsk, it's true that she's your biological daughter, but you, as her biological mother, have never loved her for a single day."
"Yeah, you even accused us of stirring things up. Who doesn't know what you've done? You don't care about your own daughter, but you care about your illegitimate daughter. Haha, it's strange that your own daughter would pay any attention to you!"
Listening to the taunts of the wealthy ladies, Lin Wanyi gasped in anger, "Who said Wen Ning ignored me? I'm going to call her right now and ask her to pick me up. I'll show you how good our mother-daughter relationship is!"
The video ends here.
Wen Ning was a little speechless after reading it. She never expected that she was involved in a quarrel between some wealthy wives.
However, now that the phone number has been blocked, she is too lazy to care.
At this time, Lin Wanyi, who was still in the hotel, was so angry that she almost died when she heard the beeping sound coming from the phone!
I sent her messages again, but they were all rejected.
Lin Wanyi was extremely angry and didn't want to pay any more attention to Wen Ning, but at this moment, the mocking voice of a rich lady sounded.
"I told you, Wen Ning doesn't want to talk to you, so stop trying to be so arrogant."
After being rejected by several brothers of the Lin family and the two brothers of the Zhou family, Lin Wanyi felt annoyed and angry, and as if she was holding back her anger, she did not beg them again, but instead went to find those rich ladies who had been friends with her in the past.
When the Zhou family was at its peak, everyone would respectfully call her Madam Zhou, flatter her, and obey her.
But now everyone in City A knows that the Zhou family is going bankrupt, and the Lin family has also cut off ties with Lin Wanyi. Lin Wanyi is just a down-and-out person now. Who would want to pay more attention to her?
Lin Wanyi replied subconsciously, "Who said that? Wen Ning has already promised me that she will be here soon. Just wait."
As soon as the words were spoken, several rich ladies didn't believe it.
"real?"
"You're not going to lie to us, are you?"
"Just pretend to be rich."
Lin Wanyi was feeling a little guilty at first, but after hearing their ridicule, she stiffened her neck and said, "Of course not. Just wait!"
