Seeing Shen Yanxiang, Wu Yi's expression changed immediately, and she just glanced at him and turned her head away.
Shen Yanxiang frowned slightly, walked up to her and said, “You don’t have to go back to your mother-in-law’s house. I will return to Hai City early tomorrow morning. If you don’t want to see me, I will sleep on the sofa on the second floor at night.”
Wu Yi took a deep breath. She was too embarrassed to argue with him in front of so many people. She replied expressionlessly, "No, I haven't visited my mother for a long time. I just happened to stay there for two days."
However, Shen Yanli rejected her argument with disapproval: "Yueyue and Chuanchuan still have to go to school. My mother-in-law's house is so far from the school, how can they make it in time? There is no need for our affairs to affect the children."
His tone was too cold and hard, and his attitude was very official, which made Wu Yi even uglier. She thought he would coax her, but he was still the same as before.
The tears that she had managed to hold back welled up again, and she said coldly, "I'll take care of it myself, don't worry about it."
After saying that, Wu Yi stood up and said to Guo Yulin with a faint smile: "Mom, I'll leave first."
Guo Yulin wanted to strangle her eldest son to death. She had clearly advised him to coax Wu Yi to keep the girl when they were upstairs, but he ended up making her even angrier.
"Okay, remember to be careful on the road, Yanli, remember to send your sister-in-law and the others home safely before coming back."
...
...
Shen Yanli nodded in agreement, took the luggage handed over by Guo Yulin, glanced at Zhou Yunwan beside him, and then left the Shen family with Wu Yi and her son.
After everyone left, Guo Yulin called Shen Yanxiang aside.
As a mother-in-law, it is not convenient for her to interfere in the affairs of the couple, but Shen Yanxiang is her son. No matter how old he is, if he does something wrong, he should be educated and scolded.
"You are a grown man, but you made your wife cry. You are really good!"
"Aren't you just relying on Xiaoyi's love for you? When she gives up, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
“…”
Zhou Yunwan listened to the intermittent sounds coming from the study, looked at Aunt Wang, and went back to doing what she had to do.
From what Shen Yanxiang said just now, Zhou Yunwan has basically determined that he is a rational straight man.
This kind of person may be a big boss at work, but he is an "idiot" in love or life, and he has no idea what it means to be successful by listening to his wife.
Wu Yi is his wife, it would be fine if he didn't coax her, but he actually spoke to her in a tone that asked for a beating? Wu Yi has a really good temper. If it were her, she would have slapped him twice.
After dinner, Shen Yanli hurried back from outside, and heard him say that he had sent Wu Yi and the two children there safely.
As for Shen Yanxiang, after Guo Yulin's lecture, he seemed to have come to his senses and walked out the door under the gaze of everyone. With the sound of the car engine, even if he didn't say it, everyone knew where he was going.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
He didn't come back until the next day, but he called to report that he was safe.

The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yunwan arrived at the art troupe early in the morning. She was wearing a light-colored suit that she had bought while shopping with Xing Zhaoling.
She wore a light blue cropped top, paired with white trousers. Her slightly curly long hair was casually tied up and draped behind her. She wore a white pearl necklace around her neck, which was delicate and gentle. She wore a pair of short-heeled leather shoes on her feet.
Sun Manting looked her up and down and praised her sincerely: "Yunwan, your dress is really beautiful."
Zhou Yunwan tugged at the corner of her clothes and said with a smile, "Really? I bought this at a department store near my home."
"How much is this? It shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"It's not expensive, just over twenty dollars in total."
Clothes made of Dacron fabric are more expensive these days, but this is a common fabric on the market, so even if it is a ready-made garment, it is not as expensive as you might imagine.
"It's only over twenty dollars, it's really a good deal." This outfit looks as beautiful on Zhou Yunwan as the girl on the poster, and she thought it was some high-end product.
After Zhou Yunwan said this, Sun Manting realized that apart from her face and figure, this set of clothes was nothing special at all.
"By the way, Manting, I'll go home with you after the rehearsal."
The art troupe has half a day off on Saturdays, and Sun Manting goes home once a week.
"Will you come home with me?" Sun Manting was a little confused.
Zhou Yunwan explained, "I'm not going home with you... I remember your house is in the same direction as Huaqing University. I'm going to send something to my brother, so we can go together."
Hearing this, Sun Manting reacted and invited enthusiastically: "Oh, so that's the case, you can also stop by my house and play for a while..."
As she spoke, Sun Manting suddenly thought of the situation at her home. She was afraid that it would not be convenient to invite others over to play, but the words had already been said, and she was embarrassed to take them back.
While she was considering her words, Zhou Yunwan smiled and said, "That's fine."
Inviting someone to one's home is considered proof of a closer relationship. Zhou Yunwan wanted to invite Sun Manting to her home several times, but Sun Manting was in the army on weekdays and couldn't go out. She had to go home when she finally had a holiday, so there was never a suitable opportunity.
This time, Sun Manting took the initiative to bring it up, and she happened to have some extra time, so they could play together.
Anyway, Shen Yanli will be in the office grading papers all day today, and he won’t run away.
After the rehearsal, Zhou Yunwan first accompanied Sun Manting back to the dormitory to get her things, then took the car provided by the army to the main street, and then took a bus to the university town.
Sun Manting's parents lived in a tube-shaped building in the textile factory dormitory. The layout was much more crowded than the dormitory where she had lived before, Chen Yanli. Therefore, the corridors were filled with things from each household, making it very inconvenient to walk. In case of a fire or something, it would be difficult to run away, and there were great safety and fire hazards.
The Sun family lives in the house at the very edge of the fourth floor. As she walked past, she saw many neighbors greeting Sun Manting. It seemed that the relationship between the neighbors was pretty good.
When she arrived at the Sun family’s door, Sun Manting knocked, but no one answered. She thought no one was at home and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not at home.
She turned her head and said to Zhou Yunwan behind her: "Yunwan, wait a minute, I'll get the key to open the door."
"Okay, no rush." Zhou Yunwan nodded and licked her dry lips.
After Sun Manting opened the door, she asked her to sit anywhere and went to the kitchen to pour her some water.
The Sun family has a few more things, but the decoration is still warm. There are several family photos placed on one cabinet, which shows that they are a harmonious and happy family.
Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but look at one of the family portraits. It showed a middle-aged couple, a son in junior high school, and a girl who was about the same age as Sun Manting, but that face was not Sun Manting.
Looking more closely, there was no Sun Manting in the other photos.
If Sun Manting didn't have the key and was not very familiar with the structure of this house, Zhou Yunwan would have suspected that she had walked into the wrong door.
Just when she was full of doubts, the voice of a middle-aged woman interrupted her thoughts.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
