Chapter 53 "I want him to go live with his good sister!"
Zhou Ruo thought Wen Xi was in pain and said with heartache, "Xi Xi, don't say that."
"You are the child your mother has been waiting for for six years, the child your mother endured eleven hours of labor in the hospital to give birth to, and no one can change that."
Wenxi was taken aback, then realized that Zhou Ruo had misunderstood her and thought she was upset to see the siblings.
"Mom, that's not what I meant."
"I mean, these two are just as stubborn."
Zhou Ruo wiped away her tears and calmed down. "Xi Xi, what did you and Zhao Zhao mean by what you just said?"
Wen Xi helped Zhou Ruo sit on the sofa. "I think I know why Yan Zhao has had such a rough time since her marriage."
"What?"
"Yan Zhao felt that Lu Jinghuai still had feelings for me, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she couldn't have a good time."
Marrying with this mindset means constantly doubting your husband's fidelity.
Zhou Ruo was stunned for a long time, "Then Jinghuai really..."
"No!"
Wen Xi answered crisply, "Lu Jinghuai and I are essentially the same kind of people; we don't click."
Lu Jinghuai may appear noble and respectable, but he is cold at heart.
Although Shang Chen is aloof and serious, which is due to his status as the eldest brother in the family, his underlying nature is gentle and tolerant.
Wenxi looked at Lu Jinghuai as if she were looking in a mirror; there was no spark between them. However, she really liked Shang Chen's personality.
Reliable, steady, tolerant, and capable, he is the perfect partner for Wenxi.
Wenxi: "I only found out about the wedding ring when I saw the manager take it out that day. Later, Lu Jinghuai explained it to Shang Chen, saying it was to appease the elders of the Lu family, but Yan Zhao didn't believe it."
On the day Wenxi returned to her parents' home, Lu Jinghuai reminded Shang Chen that Wenxi couldn't feel the cold. Even though he later explained to Yan Zhao, Yan Zhao was still angry.
Yan Zhao only believes in what she herself has decided.
Zhou Ruo quickly realized, "That makes sense. If you and Jing Huai really had feelings for each other, you wouldn't have been engaged for several years without getting married."
She sighed and confided in Wenxi, "Zhaozhao came to the Yan family today because she wanted me to comfort her and give her some advice."
"But now I'm just wondering, how did the child I raised with all my might turn out like this?"
The whole thing started when Ning Jin asked Wen Xi to buy a wedding ring.
It was clearly Wenxi who was wronged, which is why she made a scene.
Yan Zhao came to complain, but she never mentioned Ning Jin's mistakes or the grievances suffered by Wen Xi. She only complained about the wedding ring that made her feel wronged and Lu Jinghuai's promise to divorce her.
Zhou Ruo felt increasingly disheartened as she listened, which led her to ask those initial questions.
Wenxi remained silent.
Even if she didn't like Yan Zhao, she wouldn't go so far as to spread rumors and badmouth her behind her back.
Zhou Ruo grasped Wen Xi's hand: "Xi Xi, Ning Jin went too far this time."
“There was an agreement between the two families. She broke the agreement and contacted you privately. I thought she was just trying to care about you. But she actually bullied you behind my back... I can’t bear to see you suffer.”
Zhou Ruo didn't see any maternal affection in Ning Jin that she felt for Wen Xi.
She thought that, after all, he was a child she had raised for twenty-seven years, so she should have some affection for him.
Wenxi asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to find an opportunity to talk to her. Some things can only be done once, not twice."
Wenxi pondered for a moment, "She probably won't see you."
In Wenxi's memory, Ning Jin would always stay far away whenever he got into trouble.
"It would be best if she were willing to meet with me, but if not... there are ways to avoid it."
Wenxi didn't stop Zhou Ruo.
She wasn't born with a good temper, and she couldn't tolerate Ning Jin making excessive demands once or twice.
Zhou Ruo invited Wen Xi to stay for dinner, and before leaving, she stuffed large and small gift boxes and food into Wen Xi's trunk.
Wenxi looked at the trunk, which was so full it couldn't hold anything, and felt a bit of a headache.
After Wenxi left, Zhou Ruo and Yan Huai'an sat down to chat.
Yan Huai'an: "You want to talk to Ning Jin? What do you want to talk about?"
If the wife wants to seek justice for her daughter, shouldn't she go directly to their home?
Zhou Ruo glanced at him and said, "Not only do I need to talk to Ning Jin, but you also need to go and talk to Wen Haichuan."
"How can they be such parents?!"
"I was always grateful to them for raising Xixi and giving her a good education and care from a young age. Who knew that Ning Jin would take advantage of her kindness in raising Xixi and make excessive demands again and again? It's simply shameless!"
"Chatting is secondary; the more important thing is to make them realize their mistakes and apologize to Xixi!"
Yan Huai'an chuckled awkwardly.
His wife's way of making him realize his mistakes was probably the same as how she would make him realize his mistakes when she was angry.
Not very friendly.
Yan Huai'an nodded repeatedly: "I'll do as you say. I'll have my secretary make an appointment with President Wen right now."
After a while, Yan Huai'an suddenly said, "Since you love Xixi so much, why did you insist on having her come back today?"
"She must be unhappy to see Yan Zhao at home."
"That brat Yan Xu doesn't know what's good for him and always says things that are too much."
Thinking of Yan Xu, Yan Huai'an gritted his teeth in anger: "I said that kid just needs that beating he got when he was a kid. Look at how awful the things he said to Xixi were!"
In the past, when Yan Huai'an was so angry that he wanted to hit Yan Xu, Zhou Ruo would always stop him, insisting that she should reason with the child.
The result was this kind of performance.
Zhou Ruo said calmly, "I asked Xixi to come home so that she would know everything that happens at home, so that she could participate and not feel like an outsider."
"If I don't tell Xixi about Yan Zhao's tearful story when she got home, what will she think if she hears it from outsiders?"
"Then just let them know..."
“No.” Zhou Ruo: “Knowing it will make you less bothered? Not necessarily.”
Zhou Ruotai understood human nature very well.
If knowing this would make her less bothered, then Wenxi wouldn't have left early when she encountered Yan Zhao, who had suddenly returned after an argument.
As long as you're associated with Yan Zhao, whatever you do will easily lead to speculation. It's better to be open and honest and state your position in front of Wen Xi.
Sometimes, all a child needs is an attitude.
“I just want to make my stance clear to Xixi.” Zhou Ruo said this with a particularly heavy heart, her voice choked with emotion: “I want Xixi to know that she is not alone, that her father and mother will protect her and will no longer be soft on Yan Zhao.”
“As for Yan Xu, he’s my spoiled son.” Zhou Ruo took a deep breath: “He needs to learn a lesson.”
"You've cancelled all his cards and changed the access control at his door. He's not allowed to come home anymore," Zhou Ruo warned. "If you dare to secretly help him out, you'll have to move out with him!"
Yan Huai'an: "I agree with suspending the card, but if he can't go home, where will the child live?"
Yan Xu is still in college. His family hasn't bought him any property outside the home. If he doesn't go home, he'll be sleeping on the streets.
Yan Huai'an muttered, "He's already close to Yan Zhao. If you kick him out, he might just move into Yan Zhao's house and become her slave."
"I want him to go live with his good sister!"
