Accident
When the plane landed in Hangzhou, their parents had said in advance that they would not come to the airport to pick them up and would only wait for them at home, so the two of them left the airport and took a taxi home.
"Dad, Mom, we're back."
Wen Yan was about to enter the house following Wen Zhili, but saw her sister standing in a daze at the entrance after opening the door.
She couldn't see her expression and was extremely confused. She stood on tiptoe and looked over her sister's shoulder to see the scene in the living room - besides her parents, there was a woman sitting on the sofa, a strange woman.
But Wen Yan immediately understood who she was.
She has the same soft and smooth eyes and thin nose as Wen Zhili, and the curve of her mouth is exactly the same as her sister's when she smiles.
She is my sister's biological mother.
But what happened?
——Why is she nothing like what I imagined her to be?
In my imagination, she should be vicissitudes of life and helpless.
But now, she was wearing a satin dress that looked very valuable, and she was covered in gold and silver jewelry. Her limited edition luxury brand bag was also placed on the sofa.
What's going on? What's happening?
The three people in the living room stood up at once, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a long time.
"Xiao Li, this is your biological mother, Zhou Yue."
Lu Wanqing gritted her teeth and broke the deadlock.
Wen Zhili didn't reply. Zhou Yue didn't move either, just staring at her blankly.
After a while, Wen Zhili took a deep breath and slowly walked into the house.
"Yanyan, come in."
Wen Yan followed.
After putting down the suitcase, they walked to the sofa. Wen Zhili didn't sit down, and Wen Yan didn't sit down either.
"Um... is there something wrong?"
He wanted to add a name, but after thinking for a long time, nothing seemed appropriate, so Wen Zhili simply stopped calling him that.
"...You've grown up and become so beautiful."
"I also heard that you were admitted to such a good university. You are so outstanding..."
Zhou Yue's gaze lingered on her, his eyes filled with both pity and relief.
Wen Zhili turned his head away and replied lightly: "Yeah."
Why is she here?
When did she come?
Why would her parents let her in?
A series of questions swirled in Wen Zhili and Wen Yan's minds.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhou Yue embarrassedly put away the intention of greeting and went straight to the point.
"Child, don't blame me..."
"Lin Yong and I met in the county town back then, and we weren't married at all. He was the one who got me pregnant before we were married. But I didn't have the courage to have an abortion, so I could only give birth to you first and go home with him to try living together. I figured it wouldn't be too late to get the marriage certificate after you were born."
"But after you were born, because you were a girl, he always beat me and scolded me. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so... so..."
Wen Zhili still had a calm expression.
My head felt like a mess, and I felt a burning sense of restlessness.
She took a breath barely perceptible and whispered, "I don't blame you. If you're just here to apologize, then I forgive you."
Hearing this, Zhou Yue seemed to get a little encouragement and raised his tone a little.
"My child, I've always been thinking about you. I'm married to a good family now, and my family is quite wealthy. I immediately went to find Lin Yong, and he said you were here. So I came here right away."
"I've spoken to these two, and they said they're willing to do what you want."
She smiled and pointed at Lu Wanqing and Wen Jie, both of whom had their heads turned away, looking very uncomfortable.
When Wen Zhili heard this, his eyebrows began to twitch uncontrollably.
"Are you willing to give Mom a chance to atone for your sins?"
"Would you like to go home with Mom?"
Zhou Yue looked at her expectantly.
Wen Zhili was stunned.
——They said they would do as you wish.
As soon as these words came out, they entangled Wen Zhili's mind like a spell.
She thought she was no longer the little girl who would be abandoned by her family - until now, Zhou Yue stood in front of her, wrapped in the same bright and shiny appearance as her, like a mirror, reflecting the common embarrassment in their bones.
Those eyes, which were exactly the same black as her own, were also reminding her: You are Lin Endi, you don’t belong here, we are the same kind of people.
Wen Zhili looked at Lu Wanqing and Wen Jie behind Zhou Yue. Both of them said nothing and didn't even look at her.
My heart was sinking like the setting sun, like a wound that had finally scabbed over after years of wear and tear, and now someone was picking at it, bleeding and hurting.
She suddenly had the urge to question Zhou Yue.
Since you wanted to escape, why didn't you take me with you?
Since you've already left, why are you disturbing my life now?
But she ultimately chose to say nothing.
Wen Zhili has always been such an introverted person.
Many times when she was sad and wronged, she had no expression, and even her parents who raised her since she was a child might not notice it.
Wen Yan can do it.
When my sister is sad, she will droop her eyes much more often.
Now, I see my sister with her eyebrows lowered, seemingly showing no emotion.
But she knew that her sister was sad.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Yue became anxious and called out her real name: "Endi, give your mother a chance——"
The vein on Wen Zhili's forehead twitched.
As soon as she said this, Wen Jie and Lu Wanqing frowned and were about to correct her.
"Her name is Wen Zhili."
Wen Yan's subtle angry voice came out before they did.
Only then did Zhou Yue look at her.
In fact, I just noticed the shorter girl next to Wen Zhili.
She knew she was in the wrong, so she smiled apologetically.
"This one is Yanyan, right? I've heard..."
"Don't call me Yanyan."
Wen Yan interrupted her without any courtesy.
"Aunt Zhou, my sister is already 20. Have you been unable to afford food, clothing, or shelter for the past 20 years? You clearly don't want to care about her, so why are you suddenly asking her to come home with you now?"
"You can't have children, right? But you need someone to take care of you, someone to take care of you when you are old, and you need a child. So you think of my sister now, right?"
For a moment, the expressions of Zhou Yue, Lu Wanqing and Wen Jie became very subtle.
Wen Yan's guess was pretty close.
Zhou Yue coughed lightly and his tone became serious.
"No matter what, with my current wealth, um... Zhili can live with me and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. I can even send her abroad to study."
"At least from now on, she can have whatever she wants."
After saying that, she gave Wen Yan a gloomy look.
"She will live a better life if she follows me."
Wen Yan looked at her sister and found that she still had her eyes downcast.
She knew that her sister was unwilling to follow Zhou Yue, and she felt more confident.
"Don't even think about it."
"When is my sister's birthday? Do you remember?"
"Do you know what my sister likes to eat?"
"Can you tell when my sister is happy or unhappy?"
"Can you guarantee that my sister will be happier with you than she is now?"
"The child disappeared without a trace the moment he was born. After 19 years of bliss, I can now take home a beautiful, talented, and sensible daughter who was raised. Where in the world can I get such a wonderful experience?"
Wen Yan gently took her sister's hand and protected her behind her.
Those slender shoulders actually gave Wen Zhili a sense of security in a trance.
"You are worthy of calling yourself a mother? My mother is her mother."
"She will always be my sister and she will always be a member of our family."
Wen Yan spoke these words directly but calmly and logically, and none of the three people in the family said anything to stop her.
Wen Zhili stared blankly at the firm and reliable back her sister left for her.
She is obviously a gentle person, but she can show this side of her.
Zhou Yue's face looked so ugly that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.
She cleared her throat and said quietly: "It's a courtesy, you decide."
"Will you come with me, or not?"
Wen Zhili went to see Wen Jie and Lu Wanqing again.
The two of them looked at her, but lowered their heads and didn't look at her.
Sadness is like a piece of wet cotton, weighing heavily on my chest.
Wen Zhili's nails dug into his palms.
"Dad, Mom. Can I stay?"
The almost earnest inquiry trembled with a tone that Wen Yan had never heard before.
"Ah, ah... Of course! Xiaoli, if you're willing to stay, we'll definitely agree."
Wen Jie and Lu Wanqing also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly agreed to her.
After receiving the answer, Wen Zhili just stood there quietly for a while with her eyes lowered. No one could tell what she was thinking.
Finally she just said calmly: "Well, then I won't leave."
"I wish you a happy life."
This sentence is for Zhou Yue.
"I'm a little tired from the long journey, so I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, she slowly moved towards her room without looking at anyone.
Tired.
It was the first time Wen Yan heard her sister say this. She looked at her swaying figure with worry, and so did the others.
"Yanyan."
Wen Zhili suddenly tilted his head slightly.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"Ah, good!"
Although she didn't understand why her sister asked her to do something together, Wen Yan hurriedly agreed. She had just heard the unignorable hoarseness in her sister's voice.
"Sister, you go first. I'll get you a glass of water before I come over."
"Um."
Wen Zhili seemed to have no energy to say anything more, and turned around and continued walking towards the room.
