"Sister Xiaojuan, please wait for me outside for a while." After hearing what Chen Qiuyu said, Zhou Yuanyuan quickly winked at Zhu Xiaojuan, indicating that Zhu Xiaojuan should wait for her outside the door.
Sometimes it is like this, when one person dislikes another, everything you say is wrong and everything you do is wrong. Even if you don't say anything or do anything, he will feel that your breath is polluting the air he breathes.
At this moment, Chen Qiuyu seemed to be stuck in a dilemma. When he saw Zhu Xiaojuan, he couldn't suppress his anger.
Even if Zhu Xiaojuan didn't defend herself, as long as she was still standing in front of Chen Qiuyu, Chen Qiuyu would become more and more disgusted with her.
"Yuanyuan, I'll wait for you outside the door." Zhu Xiaojuan nodded obediently and walked outside.
Zhu Xiaojuan also has her persistence and pride.
Upon learning that Chen Qiuyu was ill and hospitalized, Zhu Xiaojuan felt she should visit him. Chen Qiuyu's dislike of Zhu Xiaojuan was her own business. Zhu Xiaojuan's presence reflected her feelings. Even if Zhu Xiaojuan had a fondness for Ren Zhongyuan, she wouldn't approach Chen Qiuyu and humiliate him.
"Zhu Xiaojuan, I'm sorry." Outside, Ren Zhongyuan returned from visiting Dr. Huang and overheard Chen Qiuyu's harsh words to Zhu Xiaojuan. Ren Zhongyuan blushed. He hadn't expected his usually gentle mother to speak so harshly.
Ren Zhongyuan felt very sorry for Zhu Xiaojuan. He came to visit her with good intentions, but was scolded by his mother.
"It's okay, Auntie is sick, it's normal for her to be in a bad mood." Zhu Xiaojuan lowered her head and said softly. It's not that Zhu Xiaojuan was not angry, but she was always used to thinking about others.
"Zhu Xiaojuan, can we go over there and talk?" Suddenly, Ren Zhongyuan wanted to talk to Zhu Xiaojuan, to express his distress and worry. Chen Qiuyu's changes over the past few days had made Ren Zhongyuan somewhat uneasy. And since Ren Dahai hadn't been home the entire time, Ren Zhongyuan was terrified that something might have happened to Chen Qiuyu.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Xiaojuan finally nodded and followed Ren Zhongyuan to the other end of the corridor to talk.
From that location, he could see Chen Qiuyu's ward at a glance. Even if Dr. Huang came over, Ren Zhongyuan would still be able to see him. No one was passing by, so it was a quiet place perfect for chatting.
In the ward, Chen Qiuyu didn't know that his son had just come back and left again.
Zhou Yuanyuan had seen it a long time ago. In an unfamiliar environment, Zhou Yuanyuan would habitually set up spiritual monitoring within a one-kilometer radius around herself.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan came to see Chen Qiuyu today not only to visit him but also to help him calm down. Ren Zhongyuan and Zhu Xiaojuan's departure made things easier for Zhou Yuanyuan.
Chen Qiuyu's depression is quite serious.
Depression is actually a psychological illness. Doctors most often use treatments to help patients release the depressed emotions they've buried. Once the emotional knot is untied, the condition is 70% to 80% cured.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know if doctors of this era had such a treatment method, but she happened to know, so she wanted to try it on Chen Qiuyu. After all, Chen Qiuyu was an elder whom Zhou Yuanyuan loved.
After Zhu Xiaojuan walked out the door, Chen Qiuyu turned to Zhou Yuanyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now. I hope I didn't scare you."
"No. Aunt Qiuyu, I'm just curious how a good-tempered person like you could get angry." Zhou Yuanyuan patted her chest and made a funny "scared" expression on her face.
"Yuanyuan, I..." Chen Qiuyu didn't know how to explain her behavior. Yes! Why did she get so angry at Zhu Xiaojuan? Zhu Xiaojuan hadn't said anything and had come to visit her out of kindness.
"Aunt Qiuyu, what's the toad joke about? Did Sister Xiaojuan scold you?" Zhou Yuanyuan saw that Chen Qiuyu's expression relaxed a little, and tried to guide Chen Qiuyu to release his emotions.
"It's not Zhu Xiaojuan." Chen Qiuyu shook his head and said, "It's Liu Meiling, the girl who came to my house with Zhu Xiaojuan."
"Liu Meiling is a bit annoying." Zhou Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.
"Yuanyuan, you don't know, I was almost mad to death on the way to Kyoto this time..." Under Zhou Yuanyuan's guidance, Chen Qiuyu told Zhou Yuanyuan in detail what happened on the road a few days ago.
Among them, Chen Qiuyu repeated Liu Meiling's words "a toad wants to eat swan flesh" several times. It is conceivable that Liu Meiling's words must have made Chen Qiuyu very angry.
"Yuanyuan, do you think that child named Meiling has a mental problem? My Xiaoyuan just said a few words to Zhu Xiaojuan, why did she act so vicious, calling my Xiaoyuan a toad? Xiaoyuan has never been ambitious. It's because Dahai and I are incompetent that he has to endure such insults."
When he said this, Chen Qiuyu's tears came out.
So that's how it is! Zhou Yuanyuan had a sudden realization as she listened to Chen Qiuyu's narration.
Chen Qiuyu became depressed not because Ren Zhongyuan was looked down upon, but because she felt that it was because they were useless parents that their child suffered such humiliation.
Chen Qiuyu himself is just an ordinary primary school teacher, and Ren Dahai is a division-level regiment commander. In the eyes of the villagers of Hongqi Village, a family like theirs is already considered to be remarkable city dwellers.
But in Kyoto City, there are many people with higher positions than Ren Dahai. In front of aristocratic families like the Liu family and the Zhu family, Ren Dahai can't even rank.
Being pointed at in the nose and scolded by Liu Meiling was the first time that Chen Qiuyu had experienced such a thing in his forty-plus years of life.
However, in order to calm things down, Ren Dahai asked Chen Qiuyu and Ren Zhongyuan not to confront Liu Meiling.
Chen Qiuyu felt so aggrieved! She was just an ordinary citizen, and she had no intention of relying on this "escort" to seek any benefits from the Liu and Zhu families. Ren Dahai's treatment was no less than adding fuel to the fire.
Seeing Liu Meiling's arrogant demeanor along the way, Chen Qiuyu, as a mother, couldn't help but think of many things. Among them, Chen Qiuyu often imagined Zhu Xiaojuan relying on her family background to boss Ren Zhongyuan around at school.
Chen Qiuyu thought Zhu Xiaojuan was the same as Liu Meiling, so it was strange that he was nice to her.
After Chen Qiuyu had released all her negative emotions, Zhou Yuanyuan spoke up for Zhu Xiaojuan: "Aunt Qiuyu, Xiaojuan is different from Liu Meiling. Xiaojuan told me that she felt very sorry about Liu Meiling making you angry. After all, it was her conversation with Brother Xiaoyuan that caused it."
Zhou Yuanyuan paused for a moment, and seeing that Chen Qiuyu seemed lost in thought, she continued, "Aunt Qiuyu, Sister Xiaojuan is well-known in our compound for her good temper. She was so worried when she heard you were sick last night. If she hadn't been afraid of disturbing your rest, she would have come to the hospital to see you last night."
