Chapter 15: Hate their lack of fighting spirit and pity their misfortune
After lunch, Shi Huai and Ruo Yu took Xiao Huanyu for a walk in the back garden to bask in the sun.
Little Huanyu can now walk a few steps slowly, but because he is afraid of falling, he still has to hold his mother's hand before he dares to walk.
Shi Huai looked at the little kid, who was both timid and playful, with pure love in her eyes. She couldn't help but think of the child who was cruelly dug out of her womb in her previous life.
At that time, I heard the child's weak cry. He could have been saved, but Tang Xiaoling brutally strangled him to death.
Shi Huai gently stroked his lower abdomen and made a secret vow in his heart.
Baby, this time mom will love and protect you with her life.
Little Huanyue was tired from walking and started to make noises. It was already noon, and it was time for her to take a nap.
Ruoyu asked the nanny to take the child away, and continued to walk in the garden with Shihuai.
Before leaving, her husband specifically reminded her to try her best to avoid making the relationship between the second son and Shi Huai too awkward.
Ruoyu coughed lightly and asked, "Has Jibai not come back in the past few days?"
When Shi Huai heard Zhou Jibai's name, his expression changed immediately. "Sister-in-law, don't mention that person after we just finished eating. I'm about to have morning sickness."
Ruoyu smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
This sister-in-law was usually lively and easy to get along with, but when Zhou Jibai was mentioned, she became a different person.
Seeing that his cute and gentle sister-in-law was frightened by his words and dared not speak again, Shi Huai felt a little guilty. He took the initiative to hold Ruoyu's arm affectionately and changed the subject.
"Brother went on a business trip to Jiang'an?"
Ruoyu's cheeks inadvertently flushed at the mention of Zhou Xu. She nodded, "Jiang An's project needs to be approved by him personally. He will be back in more than half a month."
Shi Huaichui deliberately raised an eyebrow and teased Ruoyu, "Sister-in-law, although my brother is a good person, he can't stand the fact that there are so many beautiful women around him. Do you want to check on him in a few days?"
Ruoyu thought of her husband's stern and cold appearance and couldn't help but chuckle: "I believe him."
She had accompanied her grandmother to the company once before, and everyone in the company, men and women, was most afraid of Zhou Xu. Even she would feel weak in the knees when she saw Zhou Xu scolding people with a cold face.
However, Zhou Xu usually had no expression on his face. Every time she talked to Zhou Xu, she felt as if the dean was leaning against the window to monitor classroom discipline.
Shi Huai didn't say anything more and started talking about other topics.
While they were chatting happily, Ruoyu picked up her phone to ask the nanny Huanyu if she was asleep.
As soon as I took out my phone, I saw a bunch of messages coming in on WeChat.
【Is this your sister-in-law? 】
Several wealthy wives sent messages to me at the same time, along with a screenshot.
#Zhou's Second Wife bullies others#
#Beating and scolding my mother and sister in public shows moral degradation and lack of character#
#The first thing to do after becoming a phoenix is to forget your roots#
Below are more ugly and insulting words, and a video of Shi Huai pouring hot tea on Tang Qiaoguo.
When Ruoyu saw this, she stood there in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Shi Huai saw Ruoyu standing there in a daze, unmoved, and curiously leaned over with his head.
Ruoyu originally wanted to block it, not wanting Shihuai to know. She was pregnant now, so she couldn't get too excited.
But then he thought that Shi Huai was maliciously slandered and had negative articles bought, so it was necessary to let her know.
Just when Ruoyu was in a dilemma, Shihuai had already seen the abusive words on Ruoyu's mobile phone page.
All of them are directed at me.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to hide it from me. I already know about this."
While Shi Huai was having lunch at noon, he received a call from Tang Xiaoling, who was crying wolf.
"How can these marketing accounts slander and spread rumors like this! When did you treat us like this?" Tang Xiaoling said indignantly, but in fact she was already trying on clothes in a high-end dress store.
"Baby, don't pay attention to them. Those who are innocent will be innocent! We don't need to care."
Does that mean just ignore it and let her bear these unwarranted accusations? Let the rumors escalate.
Shi Huai had known this would happen, so he curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mom."
The video circulating on the Internet was maliciously edited to portray Shi Huai as a sarcastic, vain and domineering woman, making the mother and daughter look weak and pitiful.
A large number of people on the Internet were scolding Shi Huai and felt sorry for Tang Xiaoling and Tang Qiaoguo.
How could someone be so disgusting? This Second Young Mistress of the Zhou family is truly disgusting. She actually scolded her mother to tears in public and poured hot water on her sister.
I feel so sorry for my sister and my mother. It's such a misfortune for our family to have a daughter like this.
[I'm familiar with this. Generally, vain women who worship money and forget their roots will have a miserable death.]
[Hey, isn't this my college classmate? I heard she used to be a bitch. I can't believe the second master of the Zhou family is so picky that he'd actually fall for this money-digger.]
[I heard someone else mentioned it's online! This video has clearly been maliciously edited! Spreading rumors is free, right? Before anything is confirmed, everyone's already here, bashing and spreading rumors and cyberbullying others?]
Comments from netizens who spoke up for Shi Huai were either deleted or they were personally attacked by hired trolls.
The Zhou family acted quickly, suppressing the incident before it could fully escalate. It didn't become a major event, but word spread quickly, eventually reaching people in the industry.
Zhou Jibai married a domineering and vicious wife who was not presentable to the public.
Shi Huai patted Ruoyu's shoulder gently: "It's okay, sister-in-law."
Ruoyu was heartbroken, "How can it be alright? A bunch of people are making random comments about you without understanding what happened!"
"And this second brother, what a joke! He didn't even bother to go home after something like this happened! I'll let him come back right away." Ruoyu rarely gets angry and frowns, and this is the first time she's scolded someone today.
Shi Huai looked at his sister-in-law's angry look and couldn't help but rub Ruoyu's face: "Things will turn around tomorrow."
Ruoyu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"My stepmother is having a birthday party tomorrow. Can I invite my sister-in-law to the party?" Shi Huai acted as if he had no temper, with his eyebrows curved into crescent shapes.
Ruoyu felt like he was disappointed with someone and was very upset.
"At this time, you are still thinking about your stepmother?" Ruoyu glanced at her lower abdomen, pointed at it, and then gritted her teeth and put down her hand.
She finally understood what it meant to hate someone for not fighting and to pity someone for not being able to fight.
Everyone in the Zhou family knew the truth about what happened between Shi Huai and Zhou Jibai that night.
What Ruoyu hadn't expected was that Shi Huai could actually pretend to be indifferent and get along harmoniously with these two people. He even personally held a birthday party for the woman who had maliciously plotted against her.
"I'm not going."
Ruoyu felt that she was already a coward enough until she met Shihuai.
Only then did she understand what it meant that there are always people better than you.
