Chapter 11 So it turns out Xixi can't eat crabs?
After Wenxi put on her shoes and left, Zhou Ruo came to her senses, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
So Xixi can't eat crabs?!
Even though she couldn't eat crabs, Wenxi still came to the Yan family... but she was ignored once again.
Zhou Ruo suddenly felt as if she were being weighed down by heavy shackles, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
Yan Zhao was filled with surprise the moment Zhou Ruo pushed her away.
She was pampered by Yan Huai'an and Zhou Ruo since she was a child, and her younger brother Yan Xu was taught from a young age to protect his sister and obey her every command.
Yan Zhao never imagined that one day, when she complained to Zhou Ruo about being wronged, she would be pushed away by Zhou Ruo.
Even though she used to feel wronged, Zhou Ruo would always gently comfort her and unconditionally pamper her...
Yan Zhao suddenly panicked and unconsciously called out, "Mom..."
Zhou Ruo turned around, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to say, "Zhao Zhao, in the future... before you come back, at least send a message so we have time to prepare."
"A sudden visit like today caught me off guard. Your business is important, but others may have important things to do as well."
Zhou Ruo had tried her best to persuade Yan Zhao in the gentlest tone.
Yan Zhao, however, burst into tears, feeling wronged. "Mom, why?!"
"Just because I'm not your biological child, I can't even come back when I'm wronged?"
"I may not be your biological daughter, but I've been your daughter for twenty-seven years!"
Zhou Ruo: "Zhao Zhao, you're not young anymore. You were the one who insisted on marrying Jing Huai, and we started arguing just days after the wedding. What do you really want?"
Yan Zhao: "Is it too much to want him to be devoted to me and to know his limits?!"
Zhou Ruo: "Lu Jinghuai only reminded Shang Chen of a few words, and did not do anything excessive. He did not even have a private conversation with Xixi."
"He also explained to you that Wenzhou is his good brother, and he entrusted him to take care of Xixi before going abroad. Now that Wenzhou is not in the country, he can't just forget what he said before just because he's marrying you!"
Yan Zhao asked sadly, "Mom, are you saying I was wrong?"
Zhou Ruo took a deep breath. "Zhao Zhao, sometimes it's not about arguing about who's right and wrong between husband and wife, but about understanding and tolerating each other."
"You said you've had a crush on Lu Jinghuai for five years and longed to marry him. Now that you've finally gotten your wish, you're arguing every three days and making a scene every five days. Is this the kind of life you wanted?"
After Lu Jinghuai and Yan Zhao got married, he never contacted Wen Xi again. Even though he didn't have a deep relationship with Yan Zhao, he still took good care of her in front of both sets of parents.
As a husband, both sets of parents felt that Lu Jinghuai was impeccable.
Yan Zhaoyao is always arguing with Lu Jinghuai over these trivial matters; it's uncertain how long their marriage will last.
Zhou Ruo's words stung Yan Zhao, and she burst into tears: "I know, you all blame me!"
"You all blame me for stealing Wenxi's marriage! You even think I forced Wenxi to marry Brother Shang!"
"But I'm just fighting for my own happiness, wanting to marry the person I love. What's wrong with that?!"
Zhou Ruo earnestly advised, "No one is blaming you for anything, and no one is blaming you. You have to manage your marriage yourself."
"You're all strange!" Yan Zhao cried. "You all blame me in your hearts, you just haven't said it out loud!"
"Wenxi doesn't like Lu Jinghuai, and Lu Jinghuai doesn't like her either. Their engagement is fake; it was fabricated to appease their elders. They were never going to get married in the first place!"
"If she didn't like Brother Shang, she could have refused the marriage and fought for her own happiness! Why should I be blamed for stealing her marriage?!"
Yan Zhao was no longer willing to listen to gentle persuasion, so Zhou Ruo could only ask bluntly, "If it weren't for Xixi and Lu Jinghuai's engagement, do you think you could have married Lu Jinghuai?"
Even though Wenxi and Lu Jinghuai's marriage was fake, Yan Zhao still benefited from this "fake marriage" and successfully married Lu Jinghuai.
"Zhaozhao, you can't take advantage of the situation and then blame Wenxi for not fighting for it."
This is taking advantage of Wenxi's good temper!
Yan Xu, who was upstairs, rushed down and stood in front of Yan Zhao, saying, "Mom, please don't talk about my sister!"
"What's wrong with my sister wanting to marry the person she likes?!"
"She wanted to get married, and Lu Jinghuai was willing to marry her. She didn't wrong anyone!"
"Now Lu Jinghuai has married my sister, but he doesn't treat her well and spends his time caring for other women..."
Zhou Ruo could no longer bear it and slapped Yan Xu across the face.
A crisp slap echoed through the hall.
Zhou Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "Xixi is not just any woman, she is your own sister!"
Yan Huai'an and Zhou Ruo, a married couple, have always believed in persuading people with reason and never resorting to violence when teaching their children; they only use logic and reason.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never laid a finger on Yan Zhao or Yan Xu.
The slap left Yan Xu and Yan Zhao stunned for a long time.
Yan Zhao suddenly said in a trembling voice, "Mom, you actually wanted to slap me, didn't you?"
“But I’m not your biological daughter, you can’t hit me, that’s why I hit Ah Xu in the face.”
Zhou Ruo calmly said, "Yan Zhao, you are twenty-seven this year, not seventeen. You should be more mature in your actions."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhao instantly broke down, covered her face, and ran out of the Yan family home.
Yan Xu chased after her, calling out, "Sister!"
Just then, Yan Huai'an came home from get off work and saw this scene. He called out, "What happened?"
"Stop!" he shouted to Yan Xu.
Yan Xu glanced at his father and said with displeasure, "Go ask Mom!"
As soon as Yan Huai'an entered the house, he saw his wife with tears streaming down her face.
Zhou Ruo suddenly looked up: "Huai'an, do you think Xixi has been back to the Wen family recently?"
Yan Huai'an: "This... I don't know either."
“Yes, we don’t know anything.” Zhou Ruo hunched over weakly and murmured, “We didn’t know that Xixi couldn’t eat crabs, we didn’t know that she would get sick when the seasons changed, and we didn’t even know if she had ever been back to the Wen family… Huai’an, we have failed in our duty.”
Zhou Ruo quickly composed herself and said calmly, "Huai'an, let's find a time right away for our two families to sit down and talk again!"
“If this continues, the two children will likely become enemies and hate us.”
Yan Huai'an: "I'll have someone contact Wen Haichuan."
After returning to Mansion No. 3, the aunt was preparing to leave work.
Seeing Wenxi return, he was somewhat surprised: "Madam, you're back so soon?"
Wenxi put down her bag. "Auntie, I'm a little hungry. Is there anything else to eat?"
Auntie knew that Wenxi had gone to the Yan family's house for dinner today. Seeing that she came back so early and hadn't eaten anything, she guessed that something had happened.
However, she was just a maid and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"What would you like to eat, Madam? I'll get it right away."
Wenxi: "Any kind of noodle soup is fine, just not too spicy."
"good."
Wenxi ate a bowl of noodles, took a walk for a while, and then went back upstairs to wash up.
