Seeing that Xie Yan really wouldn't let him see it, Gu Bin got anxious again, grabbed Xie Yan, and cursed, "Are you a dog! You've been keeping me in suspense for so long, and now you're telling me I can't see it? Are you sick in the head?!"
Xie Yan struggled a few times, but finding she couldn't break free, she gave up and looked at Gu Bin speechlessly, "Then find a place where you can see properly!"
"What's the point of arresting me here?"
"Find it first, then we'll talk!"
Seeing that he was still holding on, Xie Yan gave in, "Alright, I won't return it to him for now!"
Gu Bin asked with great doubt, "Are you sure?"
Xie Yan nodded, "Don't worry, they're not in a hurry to take it!"
"Find the place first, then look for me!"
After Xie Yan left, Gu Bin scratched his head in frustration, wondering where he could find a safe place!
So annoying! It's all Xie Yan's fault, he's always causing me trouble!
When Xie Yan got home, he found out why his mother-in-law had come over that day.
Xie Yan sighed and said to Yue Hui, "Wife, let's find a suitable day in a few days and bring up the matter of buying a house with Dad!"
Yu Yuehui put down her chopsticks, looking puzzled, and said, "Didn't we already agree on this last time? Why are you bringing it up again!"
"Besides, aren't we talking about my mother and sister-in-law?"
What does this have to do with houses?
Xie Yan smiled helplessly, "Wife, do you want to know why your sister-in-law has changed so much?"
Yu Yuehui's eyes widened. "You know?"
That's great, she doesn't need to ask around anymore!
Xie Yan nodded. "I guess I know!"
Yu Yuehui eagerly grabbed Xie Yan's hand, "To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. What counts as knowing?"
Xie Yan: "..."
"So, do you want to listen or not?!"
Yu Yue nodded. "Go ahead and tell me! How am I supposed to listen if you don't tell me?"
Xie Yan sighed. It was still his fault!
Looking at Yu Yuehui, who had an innocent look on her face, he secretly told himself that this was his wife, not Gu Bin, and that he should speak properly!
After offering a few words of self-consolation, Xie Yan continued, "Your family only had one son, your brother. Although you were still at home at the time, you were still a girl about to get married!"
Yu Yue nodded.
Xie Yan continued, "Your sister-in-law was very nice to you at the time, for two reasons. One was that you were capable, and she was trying to curry favor with you!"
"On the other hand...?" Xie Yan trailed off, unable to continue.
Liu Lanlan had such a wonderful image in Yu Yuehui's mind! He couldn't bear to ruin it!
But Yu Yuehui was in a hurry, and she asked, "What about the other side?"
Xie Yan closed his eyes briefly, then opened them and went all out, "On the other hand, she never imagined you would get married!"
"The most important thing is the current situation!"
“In this situation, it’s like your parents have gained another son. You’re not a daughter who’s going to get married, and your mother will bring you food from time to time, although most of the time we’re the ones who bring it!”
"But my sister-in-law seems to be just someone our parents are subsidizing for us!"
"She originally thought all that money belonged to them, but now she feels that a portion of it was given to us. Do you think she can be happy about that?"
"In her mind before, the family's money would belong to the two of them, and so would your money!"
"But the situation is different now. Not only are you no longer the one in charge, but even your parents' things are no longer entirely theirs!"
"As for buying the watch, she had two considerations: on the one hand, to keep her parents' money in her own hands, and on the other hand, to protect the money her parents spent on us."
Yu Yuehui's lips twitched. "But our parents have never spent any money on us!"
Xie Yan smiled and said, "My sister-in-law doesn't believe it!"
"In her mind, her parents must have spent money on us!"
Yu Yue scratched her head. "Why don't you believe me? You didn't spend any money on us! I can explain it to her!"
Xie Yan patted her head and said, "Wife, this is not as simple as you think. Once people have prejudices, their perceptions are as if they are wearing colored glasses."
"Even if you present the facts to her, she will subconsciously use her preconceived notions to distort and filter them, only listening to what she wants to hear and discarding anything contradictory. She will only think that you are making excuses and deceiving her, and all explanations will be useless to her."
Yu Yue replied: "..."
After a long silence, she finally said, "How could you think that? She wasn't here before?"
This is the thing that Yu Yuehui finds absolutely unacceptable!
She truly treats her sister-in-law like family!
She really can't accept being told now that her sister-in-law was plotting against her!
It's really upsetting!
Xie Yan gently patted her hand, "Wife, you have to understand, you used to be one family. Even if you were to be adopted by Maodan Kingdom and the country were split into two families, everything you own would still end up with Maodan. He's still her son, so you're essentially still one family!"
"But things are different now, you're two families now!"
"It's perfectly normal for her to start to hold a grudge!"
"That's just how people are. From now on, just treat your sister-in-law like a relative!"
Seeing that Yu Yuehui still had a frown on her face, Xie Yan sighed softly and coaxed her, "Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe something happened to my sister-in-law!"
"Isn't that possible?"
Yu Yue looked up and asked, "Is that really possible?"
She simply couldn't bring herself to give up a relationship that had lasted for so many years!
