"Mommy's here!" Eleven exclaimed with delight, dropping her Lego set and running out. "I want to see Mommy!"
Qiao Wanwan's heart suddenly felt empty, as if the piece that had been finally filled had been forcibly dug out!
“Madam, it’s alright.” Zheng Ma thought she was jealous of Zhan Jingting. “If the young master really wanted to have something with her, it would have happened long ago. Since it hasn’t happened, no matter how many children she has, it won’t threaten your relationship with the young master.”
"I know." Qiao Wanwan smiled. "I won't overthink it. Let's go down and take a look."
"good."
When Qiao Wanwan came downstairs, Shiyi was enthusiastically sharing her experiences in Wutong Bay with Wen Xue.
"Mommy, this place is so much fun! There's lots of delicious food. Daddy is fierce, Grandma is beautiful, and Wanwan is even more beautiful."
Wen Xue looked at him gently, "It seems that Shiyi has adapted well to life here."
Yes, that's right.
Ruan Wanyi said, "Wen Xue, you really are something. How could you hide your pregnancy with Jing Ting's child so well, and even secretly give birth to it, making it so late for me to meet my grandson..."
Wen Xue hugged Eleven tightly. "Madam Zhan, I'm sorry. This child was unexpected. It took me a lot of courage to keep him."
"You really are something. If you had said it earlier, maybe Shiyi could have grown up in a happy family and wouldn't have had to suffer so much."
“I haven’t made him suffer,” Wen Xue said. “I’ve always given him the best life.”
"I'm not talking about material things, of course your Wen family has no shortage of material things. I'm talking about spiritual things. Children should live with their parents so that they can be healthy in both body and mind."
Since Eleven appeared, Qiao Wanwan knew Ruan Wanyi's attitude, but she still felt embarrassed when Ruan Wanyi said such things to her face.
"Mom, have you said enough?" Zhan Jingting looked at Ruan Wanyi with a warning gaze. "If you insist on embarrassing Wanwan in front of outsiders, don't blame me for not giving you face."
Qiao Wanwan's nose tingled, and tears almost fell.
Ruan Wanyi then reluctantly shut her mouth.
“Jingting, don’t be angry. I just came today to bring some things to Shiyi.” Wen Xue pointed to the suitcase next to her. “Although I’m only staying for a while, the child needs a lot of things, so I thought it would be better to bring them to you so you don’t have to spend money.”
Zhan Jingting didn't say anything, but Ruan Wanyi spoke up, "Who said my Eleventh son will only stay for half a month? Wen Xue, since you're here, let's get this straight. You secretly gave birth to Jingting's child behind our backs, keeping us in the dark. I can let that go, but Eleventh is a member of the Zhan family, and he must stay with the Zhan family."
“Madam Zhan, I think you’ve misunderstood.” Wen Xue said gently with a smile, “Eleven is mine, and Jing Ting never intended to have him.”
"If Jingting doesn't want it, I will! I absolutely will not allow the bloodline of the Zhan family to be left to wander outside!"
Wen Xue smiled and said, "Madam Zhan, although Eleven is only two and a half years old, his intelligence is like Jing Ting's, which is beyond that of ordinary people. He can understand what we are saying, so I don't want us to discuss these things in front of him."
“That’s easy to say.” Ruan Wanyi clearly wasn’t going to skip the topic easily. “Aunt Zheng, why don’t you take Shiyi out to play for a while?”
"Yes." Zheng Ma quickly carried Shiyi away.
Ruan Wanyi then continued with relief, "Wen Xue, the Zhan family and the Wen family have been feuding for decades. It is said that Jing Ting's uncle fell in love with your aunt back then, but in the end, because the two families had such a deep grudge, they were forcibly separated. This shows how irreconcilable the hatred between the two families is."
“I love Eleven very much. I love him so much that I would give my life for him. So in this matter, it would be best if your Wen family would give the child to our Zhan family. If not, I will never give up. Jingting doesn’t want the child, but I do. Although I stay at home all year round, I still have connections and resources. Even without Jingting, I can still fight against your Wen family.”
“Madam Zhan, you’re too kind,” Wen Xue said politely. “If I didn’t want Eleven to recognize Jing Ting as his father, I wouldn’t have brought him back at all. My original intention was to ensure that Eleven could grow up healthily.”
"Based on the psychologist's advice, Shiyi needs to spend time with her father and receive his guidance. So if Jingting can accept it, I will settle down in the capital. I hope that Shiyi can spend some time with Jingting every month. As for the specific duration, we can discuss it."
Ruan Wanyi was delighted. "Wen Xue, I didn't expect you to be so understanding. You truly are a lady of a prominent family. It's wonderful that you think this way. I promise you, as long as it's for the good of National Day, we will fully cooperate."
"Who agreed to this plan?" Zhan Jingting looked at Wen Xue indifferently. "Have you forgotten what I said during the day? I said that in half a month, either you leave the child behind and disappear, or you disappear with the child."
Wen Xue's smile froze. "Jing Ting, are you really this heartless? Because of your wife?"
Qiao Wanwan: "......" Why am I always the one getting dragged into this again!
Wen Xue nodded as if she suddenly realized something, and said, "That's right. You two are newlyweds, in the midst of your sweet romance. How could you possibly ignore what others say? You've always been punctual, but this morning I asked you to talk about the National Day holiday, such an important matter, and you ignored it and went shopping with your wife. This isn't like you at all. It seems that marriage really does change a person."
"What?" Ruan Wanyi looked at Qiao Wanwan with displeasure. "What could be more important than the National Day holiday right now? You actually have the mood to ask Jingting to go shopping with you? Do you have a brain?!"
Zhan Jingting warned coldly, "Mom, if you dare to slander Wanwan again without distinguishing right from wrong, you'd better leave Wutong Bay."
"Jingting, you..."
Zhan Jingting interrupted her, "Can't you tell that Wen Xue is deliberately saying these things to you to sow discord between you and Wanwan?"
Qiao Wanwan was stunned for a moment. Although she had just felt that Wen Xue's words were a bit strange, she did not expect Zhan Jingting's tea-tasting ability to be so strong!
Wen Xue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "Jing Ting, how could you frame someone like that? What good would it do me to expose their relationship?"
"Then you'll have to ask yourself."
Wen Xue's face turned pale with anger. "No matter what, I am still your child's biological mother. Do you have to embarrass me like this?"
"So impatient, you're already using the child to blackmail me?" Zhan Jingting smiled faintly. "Wen Xue, for Eleven's sake, I've been giving you chances to confess, but you didn't cherish them. Since that's the case, you can't blame me. What happened that night more than three years ago? How did you get pregnant with Eleven? Do you think I can't find out?"
Wen Xue's expression changed drastically!
