For a moment, the Lin couple were like decorations, not daring to breathe loudly in the background.
Lin Han, the younger generation, became even more obedient and didn't utter a sound for a long time.
Grandma Li didn't care about any of that. She grabbed her grandmother and kept talking about how much she had missed her over the years.
When the conversation turned emotional, the two would shed tears together from time to time. Although it was Rou Rou's birthday, the little guy was having a great time and didn't think about anything else.
Wen Shu let both elderly people eat something. To cater to her grandmother's taste, the food was very light, so that Grandma Li could also eat a little.
After dinner, Grandma took Li San's grandmother to the bedroom. The two elderly people closed the door and continued to chat inside, while Wen Shu and Wen Rou Rou naturally entertained Shen Jingyao's family outside.
Wen Shu felt a little awkward, so she placed a plate of fruit in front of Shen Jingyao and her husband. "Ms. Meng, Mr. Lin, please have some fruit after your meal. Thank you for coming all this way to celebrate Rou Rou's birthday."
Actually, they usually celebrate Rou Rou's birthday in the evening, as they don't have time during the day.
Unexpectedly, they hadn't planned to celebrate their birthdays, so after Shen Jingyao and her family of three arrived, the birthday banquet had to be postponed until noon.
Shen Jingyao said somewhat reservedly, "Wen Shu, are we disturbing you and your grandmother today? We're sorry, we just wanted to celebrate Rou Rou's birthday, that's all."
Wen Shu smiled and nodded, saying, "I know, you don't need to worry. In any case, I still thank you all, and as you can see, Rou Rou is indeed very happy."
"It's just that your visit has cost you a lot of money, and you've bought so many things. You've already given him a lot of toys before, and many of them are still unopened."
Shen Jingyao lowered her head, her eyes reddening again. She couldn't help but want to wipe away her tears, because her grandmother was still searching for her lover, Wen Shu.
How did his daughter manage all these years?
Shen Jingyao dared not ask or even think about it.
The girl in front of them was their daughter, their biological daughter, the precious child that Shen Jingyao had carried for ten months and finally brought into the world. But, their daughter had been stolen away, and she had suffered a lot outside.
They are not qualified parents. How could qualified parents bear to let their daughter suffer?
Wen Shu glanced at Shen Jingyao and silently placed the tissues in front of her.
Wen Shu's feelings were complicated, but she didn't say anything.
What is she trying to say? It would be a lie to say she doesn't feel wronged, but what can she do about it?
After all, they didn't do it on purpose.
If I had to say something, I could only say it was fate, a cruel twist of destiny.
Lin Han glanced at Wen Shu, then opened his mouth, "Wen Shu, I've done many things to wrong you before. Today, in front of my parents, I hope to have the opportunity to sincerely apologize to you. Is there anything I can do to make amends? Just tell me..."
Wen Shu merely glanced at him and said calmly, "Mr. Kobayashi, you're too kind. I'm quite satisfied with my current life and don't need any help. I appreciate your kindness."
Cai Qian glanced at her husband, then at Wen Shu, and hurriedly said, "Wen Shu, we're not just being polite, we're speaking from the heart."
"Putting everything else aside, just for the sake of our Tuantuan, if you really need anything, I will definitely help you without hesitation, even if it costs me my life."
"From childhood to adulthood, my parents, Lin Han's parents, have always taught us one principle: repay kindness with kindness, and repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. Everyone knows this simple principle, let alone this one that saved my life!"
Cai Qian was unaware of Lin Han and her in-laws' true purpose; she genuinely believed they had come to Wen Shu's house to thank Wen Shu for saving Tuan Tuan's life.
Therefore, Cai Qian's words always revolved around Tuantuan, and she found that this tactic was very effective. Whenever Tuantuan was mentioned, Wen Shu's stiff attitude and tone would soften.
Perhaps because they both have children, or perhaps because Wen Shu genuinely loves children, she always appears nonchalant and indifferent in front of them, no matter how much grudge she has against them.
Cai Qian knew that this was probably a mother's instinct, not wanting to hurt her child's feelings in front of him.
Cai Qian had a pretty good idea of what kind of person her husband was.
He now suspects that Lin Han may have had a misunderstanding with Wen Shu before.
Otherwise, why would he say those things?
Furthermore, Lin Han came to Beicheng to visit his sister-in-law. He hadn't heard anything about what happened to her, but instead heard that Lin Han went to find the woman who had ruined his sister-in-law's engagement.
Upon hearing this, Cai Qian was startled. Could it be an accident or a misunderstanding that occurred at that time?
Cai Qian frowned. If that were the case, then Wen Shu's cold attitude towards Lin Han was understandable.
But Wen Shu wasn't really that indifferent to Lin Han. After all, when she was even more indifferent before, she simply ignored him completely.
The reason Wen Shu is now paying attention to Lin Han is because Rou Rou was almost taken away before, and Lin Han forcibly took the child back!
Just then, there was another knock on the gate. Wen Shu was stunned. What was going on today? Why was their yard so popular? Why did people keep knocking on the door?
Lin Han stood up immediately and said, "I'll go open the door!"
Before Wen Shu could get up, Lin Han had already gone to open the door. When the door opened, a stranger was standing outside.
Lin Han asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"You are..." The other person looked puzzled.
"Who are you looking for?" Lin Han asked impatiently. This person knocked on the door without saying who he was or what his purpose was. What did he mean?
The other person pulled out a business card, which Lin Han took and saw was from a lawyer. "What's up?"
The other party said, "Hello, I am the lawyer representing the Li family in the custody battle between the Li family and Ms. Wen Shu regarding the child Wen Xingzhou. I have some things I would like to discuss with Ms. Wen about the case. Is Ms. Wen here?"
Wen Shu had already come out at this moment. "I'm here!"
Wen Shu glanced at Lin Han and nodded to him. "Thank you, Mr. Lin. Please go back inside and sit down."
Lin Han didn't linger. Wen Shu already disliked him, and he was afraid that if he stayed there, Wen Shu would dislike him even more.
He glanced at the lawyer, then went back to sit in the living room.
Wen Shu stepped outside and said to the lawyer, "If you are representing the Li family to discuss child custody with me, then I need to tell you that no matter what you say, my goal is only one: child custody must be mine, and can only be mine!"
"At the same time, I also want to tell you that I will not recognize the so-called paternity test obtained by the Li family through illegal means!"
"We have nothing to discuss. If there's nothing else, please leave. If you really want to talk, we'll see you in court!"
