After a few seconds of silence, Grandma said, "Actually, Wen Shu hasn't been doing well lately."
Shen Jingyao was startled. "Auntie, is Wen Shu sick? What's wrong with her?"
Grandma said, "Wen Shu is physically fine, but she said her mental state is very bad. She said it's because of the meat."
"About Rou Rou?" Shen Jingyao asked calmly. "Auntie, just tell me, I'm listening!"
"The Li family is fighting with Wen Shu for custody of Rou Rou!" Grandma said. "Wen Shu originally didn't want to tell anyone and carried everything on her own. That's always been her way of doing things. There's no other way. She's responsible for everything at home and outside, and she just charges ahead all by herself."
“However, I’m afraid she’ll suffer this time. The Li family is the Li family in Beicheng, and the child’s biological father is Li Duo. Wen Shu is still in school and has no source of income. When it comes to the custody battle for Rou Rou, Wen Shu will definitely be at a disadvantage.”
The Li family's influence is undeniable, and their connections are vast. How can Wen Shu possibly compete with them? Originally, Wen Shu wanted to leverage their power, and even planned to marry someone from a wealthy and influential family. However, the engagement banquet that was originally scheduled was canceled due to the Li family's interference..."
Shen Jingyao immediately became anxious, "How can Wen Shu use her entire life's happiness as a bargaining chip?"
“Sigh, I had no idea she was doing this until today. She originally wanted to use other people’s power, but the Li family has too much influence in Beicheng, and they didn’t want to offend them. Wen Shu felt that the situation of the lawsuit was not good, so she told me the truth.”
“She’s gone out again now, and I’m really afraid that she’ll try anything for the sake of the baby and do something foolish again. If it weren’t for you and Mr. Lin, I would have just let her be.”
"But you still acknowledge her, so I thought I'd tell you. Maybe, out of consideration for her being a kind girl and a good mother, you'll feel sorry for her and be willing to help her!"
Shen Jingyao almost cried out, "Auntie, what are you saying? She's my daughter, a piece of my own flesh and blood!"
"If I weren't worried that she was under too much pressure and wouldn't be able to accept the reality, I would have gone over to acknowledge her right now!"
"Auntie, when I'm with Wen Shu, I feel heartache, guilt, and remorse. Her father and I owe her so much!"
"She was fortunate to have met such a kind relative as you. Although she lived a poor life, she was not abused. I can't imagine what kind of life she would have lived if it were someone else!"
"Auntie, thank you for telling me today. I swear that no matter what method I use or what price I have to pay, I will never let the child my daughter risked her life to give birth to be taken away by someone else!"
When Grandma heard Shen Jingyao's words, she closed her eyes.
That's exactly what she was waiting for. The fact that the Lin family said those words to her meant that they would definitely help Wen Shu. Wen Shu was now desperate, and if the Lin family helped her, then Rou Rou might be able to stay!
Lin Jingyu pressed his ear against the door frame, his eyes closed, listening intently to the sounds outside.
Shen Jingyao is on the phone!
When Lin Jingyu heard Shen Jingyao say, "I won't let the child my daughter risked her life to give birth to be taken away by someone else," her mind went blank!
Shen Jingyao already knows!
She was not married, so she had no children. The daughter that Shen Jingyao mentioned could only be Wen Shu!
Lin Jingyu was trembling all over.
So Shen Jingyao already knew! So they knew all along!
They were just deliberately hiding the truth they already knew from her.
That's why Lin Yiyu rejected the suggestion of buying a house in Beijing without hesitation—they were wary of him!
The Lin family is definitely unwilling to invest any more in her!
Lin Jingyu's hands clenched into fists. Why did they do this to her? Why let them know the truth at such a crucial moment?
Lin Jingyu was filled with regret. Why hadn't she acted faster or sooner? Why had she delayed until now, letting them all know the truth!
Warm and soothing!
Wen Shu was indeed her natural enemy, her natural nemesis!
First she fought with me for a man, and now she's trying to steal my parents. Why is Wen Shu involved at every important juncture in her life?
Is someone trying to steal Wen Shu's child?
Who else could it be but the child's biological father!
A cold smile appeared on Lin Jingyu's face. Of course she knew the child's biological father—it was Li Duo!
Lin Jingyu was unaware of this news originally, but it was revealed by Ma Biao after Lin Jingyu became involved with him.
At first, Lin Jingyu was furious. She had never thought about this before. Now that she thought about it, that little brat looked exactly like Li Duo!
Lin Jingyu stood behind the door with her eyes slightly lowered. She had a feeling that Shen Jingyao and her husband might help Wen Shu.
The fact that the Li family wants to take the child from Wen Shu is probably at the behest of the old folks in the Li family.
As for Li Duo, he wants to please Wen Shu, so he probably wouldn't do something as obvious as snatching the child and turning against Wen Shu.
So, Lin Jingyu took out her phone and called Li Yuanqing.
"Jingyu? Why did you suddenly decide to call me? Aren't you busy with work lately? I thought you, such a busy person, had almost forgotten about me." Li Yuanqing's voice was very cheerful, and he sounded like he was in a good mood.
Lin Jingyu said, "Sis, no matter how busy I am, I won't forget you. How have you been lately? Are you very busy with work? I didn't dare to call you because I was afraid of disturbing your work."
Li Yuanqing and Lin Jingyu chatted back and forth for a while before Lin Jingyu finally brought up the main topic, "I heard that your family is currently in a custody battle. Is that rumor true?"
Li Yuanqing paused, "You've heard that rumor too?"
Lin Jingyu nodded vigorously in acknowledgment, "I heard it. Who wouldn't know such big news? I've been wanting to ask, but I was afraid you'd think I was being nosy. But I've also gotten some inside information, and I'm not sure whether I should tell you or not."
Li Yuanqing immediately asked, "Rumors? What rumors? Tell me about them?"
After Lin Jingyu finished speaking, she added, "Sister, I haven't dared to tell you this, but my parents are actually still upset about Li Duo canceling our engagement. They feel sorry for Li Duo and want to stand up for me."
"So I think this whole thing is most likely something they did to get revenge for me, so they deliberately tried to help Wen Shu to annoy you guys. Sigh, I did try to persuade my parents not to get involved, but they just wouldn't listen."
Li Yuanqing frowned, sensing something was wrong. "Didn't you tell your parents that Li Duo broke up with you because of Wen Shu?"
From any perspective, Li Yuanqing couldn't understand why Shen Jingyao and Lin Yiyu were helping Wen Shu and opposing the Li family.
What good would it do for the Lin and Li families if they fell out?
Moreover, both families' elders are still alive. Isn't what they're doing deliberately and blatantly destroying the long-standing friendship between the two families?
