Chapter 237 Marital Crisis
When Shao Muwen first visited the Yu family to meet his future in-laws, Madam Yu was already won over.
Suddenly I understood what people meant when they said, "When a mother-in-law meets her son-in-law, she finds him more and more pleasing to the eye." His character and appearance are truly outstanding.
Mr. Yu still had some doubts, but Mrs. Yu only asked him, "Just tell me, can you protect them?"
"You need to be more rational..." Mr. Yu said anxiously, his eyes wide.
Madam Yu smiled and said, "Wouldn't you be happy if our future grandson grew up to be like Mu Wen?"
These words silenced Yu's father, who couldn't help but begin to daydream.
"The Shao family has a good family tradition, so the children they raise are bound to be good."
Madam Yu patted her husband on the shoulder, "Our Qiao'er's judgment is always right, we have to trust her."
Yu's father sighed softly and finally gave in.
To be fair, Shao Muwen was indeed impeccable in terms of family background, appearance, and demeanor.
More than enough to match his beloved daughter.
Yu Wanqiao and Shao Muwen went from meeting to getting married in just three months, which can be considered a whirlwind marriage.
The union of these two people stunned everyone.
These two families, who seem to have nothing in common, somehow ended up together.
The marriage between the Yu and Shao families represents a reshuffling of the power dynamics in the capital.
After marriage, Yu Wanqiao's life was not much different from before, because she did not live with her parents-in-law, but Shao Muwen moved into the Yu residence.
Shao's parents had no objection to this, as they always kept their own lives separate from their children's lives.
Mr. and Mrs. Yu are very busy with their work and often need to travel abroad, so they don't spend much time at home. Most of the time, the young couple lives their own lives.
After their marriage, and after Yu Wanqiao gave birth, Shao Muwen's job was transferred again.
Yu Wanqiao's literary translation work continues, and her flower arrangement class is also thriving, gradually becoming a gathering place for socialites in Beijing.
Every night, after putting their child to sleep, Yu Wanqiao and Shao Muwen would have a late-night chat as a couple.
Their lives are very compatible; two people with similar values communicate very smoothly, almost like soulmates.
Their physical and mental desires were focused on each other, without the slightest distraction.
As Shao Muwen was promoted, his work pressure increased, but every day when he returned home and lay down next to Yu Wanqiao, he would get a moment of respite, as if he had returned to the state of an infant, feeling particularly at ease.
But their lives were not without their ups and downs.
The biggest upheaval occurred with the appearance of Shao Yun.
When Shao Min adopted a child from an orphanage and brought him back to the Shao family, the whole family fell silent.
At that time, Shao Mushi and Lin Miao had only been married for a short time, and their relationship was not very stable. Lin Miao caused chaos in the whole family and forced Shao Mushi to undergo a paternity test.
Yu Wanqiao's heart was not entirely calm.
She could clearly sense the change in Shao Muwen's facial expression; he was in trouble.
Back at the Yu residence that evening, Yu Wanqiao remained silent and said nothing. While she was washing up in the bathroom, Shao Muwen entered.
Looking at her in the mirror, he confessed, "The child isn't mine."
Yu Wanqiao paused in brushing her teeth, looked at him in the mirror, and saw that Shao Muwen had no smile on his face. He said, "But it has something to do with me."
Within a month, Yu Wanqiao had both paternity and kinship tests done for Shao Muwen and Shao Yun, confirming that they were not father and son, but were related.
Afterwards, Yu Wanqiao secretly obtained paternity test reports for Shao Mushi and Shao Muyan with Shao Yun, respectively, without the knowledge of the Shao family.
When they received the results, Yu Wanqiao and Shao Muwen knew they were in deep trouble.
That period was not only a crisis in their marital relationship, but also a crisis of trust for Shao Muwen within the Shao family.
Lin Miao was making a scene, while Shao Mushi was the one who got chosen.
Shao Muyan has never been married or dated.
Shao's parents naturally turned their attention to Shao Muwen.
Because of this, Shao's father even called Shao Muwen home and interrogated him together with Shao's wife.
Shao Muwen dared not say anything and could only acquiesce.
"How can you face Xiao Qiao?"
Shao's father had never laid a hand on Shao Muwen before; that was the first time, and his lip was split open.
Yu Wanqiao arrived just in time, but didn't know what to say. She could only half-heartedly cover for Shao Muwen, since now was not the best time to reveal the truth.
The people behind this are up to no good. If word gets out, both Shao Yun and Shao Muyan will be in danger.
The more Yu Wanqiao covered up for Shao Muwen, the more Shao's parents felt that Shao Yun was the eldest son's mistake, and the more they felt sorry for their eldest daughter-in-law.
It's become a complete mess.
Back home, Yu Wanqiao applied an ice pack to Shao Muwen's swollen cheeks, and Shao Muwen hugged her tightly, revealing a rare vulnerable side.
Yu Wanqiao stroked his head and sighed softly.
"I will never do anything to betray you."
Shao Muwen looked up at Yu Wanqiao, his eyes filled with unspeakable sincerity and solemnity, "If I ever make this mistake again, then slap me."
"Nonsense."
Yu Wanqiao poked his head, both amused and exasperated, but the rift that had been building up during this time was now closed.
This crisis also turned the couple into a community of shared destiny.
Yu Wanqiao experienced love when she was young.
She has always rationally believed that love and marriage are two different things, and that marriage is more about needs, cooperation, and contracts.
She originally wanted to choose a partner who was relatively pleasing to the eye, someone who wouldn't make things too difficult for her, someone with whom she could live a fairly smooth life, but someone she didn't need to like too much.
Wise people don't fall in love easily; loving too much can sometimes be troublesome.
But after marriage, she gradually realized that without love, how could she withstand the countless storms of life?
There was a double knock on the door.
You could tell it was Shao Jing from the force of his knock.
Afraid that his son would see the injury on his face, Shao Muwen lay down first and covered himself with the blanket. Yu Wanqiao went over and opened the door.
Shao Jing is twelve years old now. In the blink of an eye, he has transformed from an annoying brat into a swaggering young man.
He grew up in the Yu family and was raised by his father and Yu Chaoming. He looks like a member of the Shao family, but his temperament is more like that of the old Yu family.
"Mom, I heard that Grandpa and Grandma yelled at Dad today?"
As soon as Shao Jing entered the room, he shouted, then looked at the bed, "Why is Dad lying down so soon? Did he really get beaten? Let me see!"
Before Yu Wanqiao could stop him, Shao Jing climbed onto the bed with his long arms and legs, landing next to Shao Muwen with a "thud" and pulling off his blanket.
"..." The father and son stared at each other.
Yu Wanqiao was helpless.
Shao Jing is the eldest grandson of the Shao family. When he was a child, he kept asking Yu Wanqiao and Shao Muwen to give him a younger brother or sister, but the two of them flatly refused: "No."
Yu Wanqiao likes children and feels that one is enough.
Shao Muwen witnessed Yu Wanqiao's entire pregnancy and childbirth process firsthand and knew how difficult it was, so he didn't want her to suffer again.
Besides, my main account is already leveled up quite well, so there's really no need to create another alt account.
Therefore, Shao Jing was very happy about Shao Yun's appearance.
It wasn't until much later that Shao Jing learned that Shao Yun was actually the child of his third uncle, Shao Muyan. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He looked at Shao Mushi and said, "Second Uncle, you lied to me!"
