Lu Qing helped Wen Ya walk ahead, whispering words of comfort: "Mom..."
Wenya patted her hand and said, "Mom, it's okay. Your grandma has been biased for so many years, I'm used to it. Back then, she wanted to marry Wenrou to your dad, but your grandpa didn't agree. Besides, your dad and I met without their knowledge, so when she took Wenrou and used my name to meet your dad, and it was exposed, I was heartbroken."
Lu Qing was stunned. She hadn't expected such a thing to happen. When the Lu family had their accident, she was already a teenager. Although she only met Wen Rou when she visited the Wen family, her impression of her was always that she lived up to her name. She never imagined that such a thing had happened back then.
Wen Ya smiled and said, "Do you know why I didn't want you to go to the Wen family?"
Lu Qing shook her head.
Wen Ya sighed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just didn't want you to suffer any injustice."
Looking at her mother, Lu Qing felt a pang of sadness. It turned out that her mother had been silently protecting her child all along.
"Mom, we will take good care of you from now on and we will never let you suffer again," Lu Qing said firmly, holding her mother's hand tightly.
Wen Ya said, "I look a lot like my father, but my father is not the kind of person that the old lady of the Wen family likes. So she doesn't like my father. When I was four years old, she left me at her sister's house and took Wen Rou back with her."
This surprised not only Lu Qing, but also Gu Qi'en, while Qian Duoduo remained unfazed.
Wen Ya gave Qian Duoduo a deep look and continued, "I wasn't taken back by my father until I was nineteen. By then, I had been tortured to the point of being skin and bones at my aunt's house, while Wen Rou was more like the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Hehe, my brothers treated Wen Rou better than I did, but I didn't care about any of that anymore."
The person I care about is already in heaven, unable to see the suffering I endured or the blessings I enjoy now. The sigh in her voice made Qian Duoduo think that it might be Wen Ya's father, the only one in this family who had given Wen Ya warmth.
What Wenya didn't say was that Wenrou refused to marry back then because she still wanted to marry Lu Yiheng. She was afraid that her children would be bewitched by Wenrou, and she didn't want her to deceive her children.
Gu Qi'en and Qian Duoduo exchanged a glance. Both of them were holding children in their arms. After all, she was Wen Ya's mother. Although they heard some things they shouldn't have heard in her words, they didn't make any comments.
Qian Duoduo never expected that such a melodramatic daughter-swapping incident would actually happen to Wen Ya. She thought of the online novels she had read before transmigrating into the book, those stories of parents who liked to adopt children and mistreat their own children. She was actually seeing it in reality. Now, Wen Ya's hair was also turning gray, while the old lady of the Wen family had completely white hair, yet she was calling out "Rou Rou." It really gave Qian Duoduo goosebumps. After all, Wen Rou looked much older than Wen Ya. If it were when they were young, what a melodramatic story it would have been?
She sighed helplessly, and Miao Miao, holding Qian Duoduo's hand, asked softly, "Auntie, what's wrong with Grandma? Is she angry?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "Grandma isn't angry, she's just a little helpless." Hearing this, Wen Ya glanced back at Qian Duoduo, but didn't say anything more. She just got into the car and went back to the Lu family home.
Lu Yiheng is now at the center of national power, so he often has to participate in activities during the Spring Festival. Even Lu Jiang and Lu Cheng are very busy. So on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the men were all out participating in various activities and were not at home.
Grandma Lu was a little surprised to see Wen Ya return so quickly. She asked, "Second son's wife, why are you back so soon?"
Wen Ya sighed and said, "I ran into Wen Rou at the Wen family home and didn't want to see her, so I came back first."
Grandma Lu thought of that gentle woman who spoke in a sarcastic tone and said, "Wasn't she and her husband out of town? Why did they come back to Beijing?"
Wen Ya said calmly, "They were unhappy staying in another city, so they wanted to go back to Beijing. They even wanted me to ask Yi Heng to transfer them and their child back, but I didn't agree."
Grandma Lu knew immediately that these words must have come from the biased old woman in the Wen family, so she nodded and said, "It's alright. You've been out for a walk and must be tired. You should rest at home."
Wenya nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I'm going to lie down for a while. Every time I go back, it feels like I've been in a fight, I'm so tired."
Grandma Lu watched Wen Ya leave, then sat in the living room and scolded Grandma Wen Ya for a while using C language. Lu Qing had originally wanted to ask her grandmother, but seeing this result, she silently leaned against the sofa. She was not an innocent little girl; years of working in the countryside had tempered her heart and made her very strong. She had also had questions and wanted to ask for clarification, which was why she stayed. However, it seemed that her grandmother's condition did not show any signs of stopping.
Lu Qing stood up, poured a glass of water for Grandma Lu, and placed it in her hand. When Grandma Lu saw the glass, she immediately smiled and said, "You know, it's good to have girls in the family. If your brothers were here, they would definitely be sitting there expressionless and wouldn't think of pouring me water."
Looking at the old lady Lu who so skillfully changed her expression, Lu Qing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She asked softly, "Grandma, I heard that my maternal grandmother wanted to swap Wenrou with my mother for a marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu quickly glanced towards the stairwell. After confirming that no one was around, she lowered her voice, leaned close to Lu Qing's ear, and replied mysteriously, "That's right! But I didn't agree. That Wenrou, she seems like a two-faced, scheming person. The moment she saw our family, her eyes were full of calculation. How can she compare to your mother? Although your mother is a bit stubborn, her personality is just to my liking. I hate that kind of Wenrou the most, always pretending to flatter me."
Lu Qing nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. So that's how it is. It seems this Wenrou really isn't that great. She couldn't help but sigh, realizing her grandmother was indeed a person of strong likes and dislikes. Her grandfather had always doted on his wife; naturally, he wouldn't like anyone his grandmother disliked. As for her uncle and father, having witnessed how her grandfather spoiled her grandmother since childhood, their family atmosphere determined that they couldn't be love-struck. That's why Wenrou was so easily kicked out back then.
She hadn't expected that a few days later, this Wenrou would actually approach her, hoping for her help. She wanted to see Lu Yiheng, which made Lu Qing's expression change. Of course, she refused without any politeness. Wenrou's tearful look reminded Lu Qing of what her grandmother had said about her at home. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't tell me you're not my mother's biological sister. Even if you were, so what? Don't you think about who my father is? Is he someone that just anyone can see?"
Wenrou gritted her teeth. She really disliked the children Wenya had, especially Lu Yuan. It was true that nothing good ever happened to her when she met him!
