Chapter 80 "Girls shouldn't be careless either!"
Seeing that Zhou Ruo's face had turned pale with anger, Yan Xu dared not say anything more to provoke her.
"Fine, I won't go then, why did you hit me?!"
Zhou Ruo: "Get lost!"
Yan Xu had never seen his mother so angry before.
He covered his face, feeling wronged and wanting to complain, but in the end he could only obediently leave.
As soon as Yan Xu left, Zhou Ruo's tears streamed down her face.
Do you know how much Xixi suffered in the past?
"Wen Haichuan and Ning Jin are not on good terms and they quarrel every few days."
“Ning Jin took out her anger on her child after being upset by her husband.”
Zhou Ruo mentioned that Ning Jin lost at mahjong and took his anger out on Wen Xi, slapping her across the face.
She was trembling with anger as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yan Huai'an was filled with shock and shame: "Is this true?!"
Zhou Ruo added, "When Xixi was six years old, Ning Jin threatened Wen Haichuan by jumping off a building with her in his arms."
She clutched her husband's clothes and cried, "Old Yan, we almost never saw our daughter again!"
Yan Huai'an turned his head away and secretly wiped away his tears. "It's all in the past now. We can take this opportunity to make it up to Xixi."
He finally understood why his wife had been so angry with their son.
"It won't be that easy to get through!"
Zhou Ruo said dejectedly, "When Xixi was being carried off the building by Ning Jin, were you scared?"
She was only six years old at the time.
"She was so young, and Ning Jin was holding her as they jumped off the building. She must have been terrified and crying."
"Did Ning Jin hurt when she slapped Xixi? Was she scared?"
"Does she usually hit Xixi like this?"
"Perhaps there are many, many things we don't know."
There were some things Zhou Ruo simply dared not think about.
She dared not even imagine how disappointed she would be in her biological parents after Xixi had suffered so much at their hands, only to have to share that love with Yan Zhao after returning to them.
"Perhaps when the two families swapped children, our insistence on continuing our relationship... already hurt Xixi's feelings."
Yan Huai'an also fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Ruo suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "These things can't just be left like this!"
Yan Huai'an: "What do you want to do?"
"If Ning Jin has fled abroad, then send people abroad to find her."
"If we can't find her abroad, we'll find a way to force her to come back to China!"
"She owes Xixi so much, she should at least pay some of the price!"
Zhou Ruo had initially tried to sit down and reason with Ning Jin, asking her to apologize to Wen Xi.
Looking back now, it was completely unnecessary!
The Wen family's apology is worthless.
Yan Huai'an was pushed by Zhou Ruo to go do some errands.
No sooner had Yan Huai'an left than Zhou Ruo fell ill.
The Yan family didn't call, and Wenxi didn't know that Zhou Ruo was sick.
She's been busy lately too.
In addition to work, Wenxi also hired a private trainer to come to her home to exercise.
Every day, besides going to and from get off work, I spend my time working out like crazy at the gym, while also enjoying the various nourishing soups that my aunt makes.
Shang Chen's business trip lasted for more than half a month, and Wen Xi even developed abs during that time.
That day, Wenxi changed her clothes and went to the gym as soon as she got off work.
The cleaning lady came and went several times under the pretext of cleaning, but finally couldn't resist and called Shang Chen from the gym entrance.
"Sir, have you and your wife had a fight recently?"
Far away overseas, Shang Chen, who had just finished work and was about to rest, paused for a moment before saying, "No."
The two live in different time zones and have not spoken during this period.
But Wenxi would send him photos of her daily life every few days.
When Shang Chen wakes up and sees this, he'll comment on it and then chat with Wen Xi when she has time.
Back and forth, the couple worked hard to turn their long-distance relationship into an online romance.
In Shang Chen's mind, his relationship with Wen Xi was very stable recently, and they were getting to know each other better, with their feelings for each other warming up.
But when his aunt suddenly called to ask if they had a fight, Shang Chen became a little unsure.
He never questions company decisions.
But he was self-aware when it came to matters of the heart.
What happened?
As the aunt peered at Wenxi, who was working out diligently, she said, "Recently, my wife goes straight to the gym as soon as she gets off work. She doesn't say a word and just stays there every day, working out like crazy."
"This is really not right!"
Shang Chen remembered that before he went on his business trip, Wen Xi had mentioned taking time to exercise.
"She's exercising."
"Exercise should be done in moderation. It's not normal for someone like my wife to do nothing but work and go to the gym."
After pondering for a moment, Shang Chen humbly asked, "What's wrong with it?"
"Girls in this situation usually do so because they are angry or upset, and they are bottling up their emotions, so they use exercise to numb themselves."
"Sir, please think carefully. Have you done anything recently that has caused your wife to feel wronged?"
Shang Chen: "...No."
He hasn't done anything lately.
The aunt slapped her thigh and immediately discovered the truth: "They didn't do anything, that's the biggest problem!"
"You haven't contacted your wife at all lately; she's like she's disappeared whenever you go on a business trip!"
It seems like everything Auntie said is right?
The claim that Shang Chen was wrong is irrefutable.
Aunt: "Madam probably felt that you didn't care about her, so she was sulking and venting through exercise."
Shang Chen felt that what his aunt said was wrong, but he still couldn't refute it.
After all, during the two weeks he was away on a business trip, he hadn't 'actively' contacted Wenxi; it was always Wenxi who sent him the photos first.
When they first got married, he went on a business trip for half a month, and Wenxi didn't ask about him at all.
Shang Chen had taken a look at his parents' way of getting along and found it very abnormal.
The two had a formal talk afterwards.
Judging from her own experience, it's understandable that Wenxi was unhappy.
Shang Chen believed his aunt's words.
