In Feng Xueying's opinion, Zhao Qingshan must have been shot because he couldn't dodge the bullet, but he blamed this "life-saving grace" on Lao Wen. Was he bullying her Lao Wen because he was honest?
"Feng Xueying, you've gone too far! How did you become so snobbish in just a few years? Where's your kindness? Where's your simplicity? Where's it gone?" Wen Yiran was enraged by Feng Xueying's attitude. Back then, a bullet was headed for Wen Yiran's head. At the critical moment, it was Zhao Qingshan who leaped up to block the bullet for him, leaving him disabled.
Ever since learning that Zhao's martial arts required the cultivation of "qi," Wen Yiran had felt a deep sense of guilt towards Zhao Qingshan. If it weren't for him, Zhao Qingshan wouldn't have stooped to being a village Party secretary in such a poor mountain valley. In Wen Yiran's opinion, Zhao Qingshan's martial arts skills were so impressive that none of his uncle Wen Jingtao's current guards could match them.
Feng Xueying's nonsense had obviously crossed Wen Yiran's bottom line.
"Wen Yiran, what's wrong with me?" Feng Xueying felt extremely wronged when she saw Wen Yiran getting angry. She didn't say anything. She just said that Zhao Qingshan was crippled. Zhao Qingshan's legs were indeed not very good and he was a cripple, so shouldn't people say that?
"Mayor Wen, have some noodles first!" Aunt Liu had just finished making the noodles and hurried over to serve them. Aunt Liu had good intentions, hoping to smooth things over and perhaps stop the quarrel between Wen Yiran and his wife. When couples argue, they keep saying things back and forth, and the words that hurt their feelings are too much, which is not good for either of them.
"I won't argue with you." Wen Yiran was really hungry, and he didn't want to argue with Feng Xueying. After saying this, he sat down at the dining table and started eating the bowl of noodles brought by Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu's cooking skills are as good as ever. Each noodle in a bowl is rolled out to almost the same thickness, and is topped with a few green vegetables and two eggs. The noodle soup is fresh, fragrant and rich. As soon as Wen Yiran took a bite, he felt his whole stomach trembling with satisfaction.
He Jingjing stood at the corner of the stairs, silently watching everything happening downstairs. She felt a little annoyed.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xueying's position in the Wen family wasn't as formidable as she'd boasted. Even Wen Yiran didn't seem to be as obedient as Feng Xueying claimed. Wen Yiran returned home, not particularly surprised to see Feng Xueying. Instead, he kept speaking for outsiders. Was this the power Feng Xueying had claimed she possessed within the Wen family? Pah! All the effort she'd put into "brainwashing" Feng Xueying these past few days wasted.
Her "telekinesis" was hard-earned, and now, all the fruits of her labor over the past few years were wasted on Feng Xueying. She should have realized it long ago when Brother Ziqing refused to listen to the old woman, but now, it was too late.
He Jingjing bit her lower lip gently with her white, soft teeth, which was a sign that she was becoming impatient.
"Wen Yiran, I know you look down on me now and think I'm old and not good-looking. Tell me, are you attracted to those young and beautiful girls in the municipal drama theater?" Feng Xueying became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she became a little unreasonable when she spoke.
Every city has one or two entertainment companies. Qingshan City's drama troupe is well-known in several nearby cities, and it has many beautiful girls. Feng Xueying and Wen Yiran have also attended performances of the drama troupe together.
"I've already said that I'm not interested in young girls. I only like simple people." Wen Yiran looked at Feng Xueying deeply and added in his heart: Just like you, Xueying, back then.
Unfortunately, Feng Xueying didn't understand the meaning in Wen Yiran's eyes at all. At this moment, she felt a fire burning in her heart. Lao Wen had just criticized her for losing her simplicity, and now he said he liked simple people. What did he mean by this? Did Lao Wen have someone else in his heart?
"Men become bad when they have power!"
"As women get older, they should pay more attention to their appearance and the behavior of their partner. You never know when he might be cheating on you!"
"Any woman who appears next to her husband is an imaginary enemy in every wife's mind."
······
These days, the words that He Jingjing instilled in Feng Xueying's ears began to churn in Feng Xueying's mind.
He Jingjing glared at Wen Yiran and Feng Xueying downstairs with a gloomy face, and returned to the guest room quietly.
Humph! Damn old woman, since you wasted my "telekinesis", you must bear my revenge. He Jingjing's beautiful face was slightly distorted, looking indescribably strange.
Downstairs, Wen Yiran suddenly raised his head and looked towards the stairs. At that moment, Wen Yiran felt a malicious force coming towards him from the stairs.
The stairs were empty, but Wen Yiran strangely sensed a presence that didn't belong to anyone in the Wen family.
"Xueying, are there guests at home?" Wen Yiran thought about it and asked.
"Yes, it's He Jingjing, the eldest daughter of the He family in Kyoto, Ziqing's cousin, who came specially to see Ziqing." Feng Xueying finally suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind. Seeing that Wen Yiran changed the subject, she was happy to cooperate.
Speaking of He Jingjing, Feng Xueying felt indescribably excited. He Jingjing had been staying at the Wen family these days. Even when Wen Ziqing ignored her and sneaked away, He Jingjing had no complaints. On the contrary, whenever Feng Xueying was free, He Jingjing would accompany her and call her "Grandma Wen" and "Grandma Wen" with a sweet mouth!
A phoenix tree in the house attracts a golden phoenix. In Feng Xueying's eyes, Wen Ziqing's status these days is almost like a phoenix tree that can attract a phoenix, and He Jingjing is a phoenix egg.
The more He Jingjing showed her deep affection for Wen Ziqing, the happier Feng Xueying became. He Shumin, the He family's patriarch, held a high position of power, no less powerful than Wen Jingtao, the Wen family's patriarch. With his connections to the He family and Wen Jingtao's support, how could her Wen family still fear a future without success?
"Xueying, I've already told you not to interfere in Ziqing's affairs." Wen Yiran's mind raced, and he understood what Feng Xueying meant. It seemed his old woman had taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the He family, and wanted to set Ziqing against her!
The old woman didn't even need to think about it. What kind of family is the He family? What's the point of a little girl like He Jingjing falling for Ziqing? Isn't everything subject to the He family elders? What a cunning old fox in the He family is! Ziqing is an unknown person, so it's strange that the old fox in the He family would fall for him. Besides, Ziqing had already been engaged to the little girl from the Zhao family. How could one man be with two women?
"I'm his grandmother. Why can't I take care of Ziqing's affairs?" Feng Xueying was very dissatisfied. The most important thing was that Feng Xueying didn't like the girl from the Zhao family that Wen Yiran had arranged for Wen Ziqing. She was a girl from a poor mountain village. Calling her a piece of mud was already a compliment to her. How could she compare with He Jingjing, who was as beautiful as a cloud in the sky?
