After Cao Desheng retired, Wen Yulong was transferred to the North China Military Region. The leadership of the Southeast Military Region believed that Wen Yulong's ability was limited and that his continued stay in the Southeast Military Region would only hinder the promotion and implementation of their work.
In fact, anyone with eyes could see that this was an excuse. Wen Yulong had always served in the Southeast Military Region as Cao Desheng's successor. Now that Cao Desheng had retired, it wasn't Wen Yulong who took over. If Wen Yulong wasn't a fool, he would have held on to his power. In that case, how could the new commander carry out his work?
Wen Yulong was transferred to a new military region and had to start his work from scratch. The title of "deputy" has been firmly on his head for many years.
Wu Xiuli felt aggrieved. Ever since the "nanny incident," Wen Yulong's attitude towards her had changed drastically. He came home less and less often, and even when he was free to spend time with her, he wasn't as gentle and considerate as before. Wu Xiuli felt aggrieved. As a woman with limited experience, it wasn't surprising that she'd been deceived by Wang Biyun. Wen Yulong was the family's breadwinner, so why didn't he investigate Wang Biyun's background?
Wu Xiuli was in a bad mood, so her expression towards Wen Yulong was somewhat forced. Seeing Wu Xiuli's gloomy face all day, Wen Yulong didn't want to go home even more. Upon arriving at the North China Military Region, Wen Yulong's work became much busier, and before he knew it, the couple began to live a life of superficial harmony but inner estrangement.
Wu Xiuli endured for a few years and felt very depressed. She gritted her teeth and decided to take her children back to Kyoto to live.
Women are like this. When they feel their husbands are unreliable, they subconsciously think of relying on their children. After Wu Xiuli felt that Wen Yulong's attitude towards her had changed drastically, she placed her hopes on Wen Ziyun and his sister.
In all of China, the best educational resources are in Kyoto. For the sake of their children, Wu Xiuli and Wen Yulong discussed the idea of accompanying their children back to Kyoto for school. Wen Yulong agreed, thinking that it would be good for them to be apart for a while.
After the Lunar New Year last year, Wu Xiuli and her children stayed in Kyoto and never returned to Huabei. Wu Xiuli told Wen Yiran and his wife that the quality of education in Huabei wasn't as good as in Kyoto, and that returning to Kyoto would allow the children to attend better universities. Of course, Wu Xiuli also had to stay in Kyoto to take care of the children's daily needs, and would only return to Wen Yulong after they started college.
Wen Yiran didn't mind. Since his eldest son had agreed, he couldn't persuade Wu Xiuli to return to Wen Yulong. The house Wen Yiran had allocated was large enough to accommodate all his sons. Besides, ever since Feng Xueying's serious illness six years ago, she had become melancholy and sentimental. Wen Yiran was busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with Feng Xueying. He naturally hoped that his children and grandchildren would show more filial piety to Feng Xueying.
Wen Yuxiang and his family have been staying in Qingshan City and have not returned. They will only come back to Kyoto City to reunite during the New Year. Wen Yuxiang is now the deputy mayor of Qingshan City, and his career can be considered to be going smoothly. Wang Qiuyan is eager to stay in Qingshan City. Feng Xueying is not easy to take care of. Six years ago, Feng Xueying was hospitalized. Wang Qiuyan was busy in the hospital all day, but in the end she never heard Feng Xueying praise her. On the contrary, Wu Xiuli, the eldest daughter-in-law who rarely goes home, cooked for a few days during the New Year. When Feng Xueying talked about her eldest daughter-in-law, her face was full of praise. This experience made Wang Qiuyan feel scared. If possible, Wang Qiuyan didn't want to live together with her family.
Wen Yulun married five years ago. His wife, Zhu Xiaoru, is a surgeon at Renhe Hospital. Wen Yulun now works for the Ministry of Culture, a busy schedule that often involves traveling extensively for research. Zhu Xiaoru, a doctor, is also incredibly busy. Their child, Wen Ziyou, has been raised by Zhu Xiaoru since birth. Feng Xueying is in poor health and can't stand any noise at home.
The Wen family had one or two housekeepers, one to cook and the other to clean. Logically, Feng Xueying should have lived a comfortable life, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and Wen Yiran held a high position.
But in reality, Feng Xueying was in a bad mood every day. A serious illness six years ago had caused a significant change in Feng Xueying's appearance. In just a few days, Feng Xueying had aged by twenty years.
Wen Yiran still looks very young this year. He suffered a stroke and was cured by Zhao Qingshan and Zhou Yuanyuan. Due to Zhou Yuanyuan's mistake, he gained a glimpse of Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy. Xiaoyu's innate spiritual energy is a valuable asset, capable of bringing the dead back to life. Nourished by this energy, Wen Yiran's health has improved significantly over the past few years, and his appearance hasn't aged at all, appearing even younger than when he was in Qingshan City.
Feng Xueying had always been proud of her beauty when she was young, and she paid great attention to maintaining her appearance. Before she fell ill, although Feng Xueying was in her fifties, she looked like a lady in her forties, much younger than Wen Yiran. Those who knew Wen Yiran and his wife would praise Wen Yiran for his good fortune to have such a young and beautiful wife like Feng Xueying.
Now, however, when the Wen family had guests, Feng Xueying wouldn't dare come out to meet them. Needless to say, Feng Xueying couldn't help but feel grief every day, looking in the mirror at herself, looking like an old woman. For Feng Xueying, the saddest thing in the world was that she wasn't old, yet her face was already covered in wrinkles.
For someone who was once a beauty, the most unbearable thing is that her appearance has changed so much that she can't even bear to look at it. Although Wen Yiran still had the same feelings towards Feng Xueying, he couldn't stand Feng Xueying's growing suspicion.
Wen Yiran was so busy with his work that when the organization assigned assistants like secretaries, they simply looked at their work ability, not their gender. When Wen Yiran was transferred to Kyoto, his first secretary was a man, whom everyone called Lao Wang. Two years later, Lao Wang retired, and Wen Yiran's new assistant was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. From that moment on, Feng Xueying felt a sense of unease.
But Feng Xueying never said anything to Wen Yiran. Every day after Wen Yiran came home, Feng Xueying would secretly check the clothes he took off to see if there were any long hair or lipstick marks on them. After checking, Feng Xueying would ask the housekeeper to take them away and wash them.
Wen Yiran was busy with work and always came home exhausted, so he didn't notice that Feng Xueying's mental state was a little off. Over time, Feng Xueying became increasingly irritable, sometimes sitting alone and mumbling to herself, and no one could tell what she was saying.
If Zhao Qingshan or Zhou Yuanyuan were here, they would definitely see that Feng Xueying was mentally ill. Long-term depression made Feng Xueying appear normal on the surface, but in fact she was on the verge of insanity.
