Zhou Yunwan reacted, her long eyelashes trembled, and she quickly took a step back, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
The backs of the two people were too similar, and they were at the Shen family, so she subconsciously mistook the other person for Shen Yanli, and she realized it belatedly and felt a little embarrassed.
The man said calmly: "You are Xiao Wan, right?"
His voice is heavier and mellower than Chen Yanli's, giving people an invisible sense of oppression from a superior.
Zhou Yunwan had never seen him before, and couldn't help wondering about his identity, but she soon remembered that Guo Yulin had told her that Brother Shen Yanli and his family would return to Beijing in the near future.
Plus, he looked older than Shen Yanli, so after a little thought, he guessed who he was.
Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but look at him again. The two brothers looked very similar, but they were slightly different in subtle ways. Perhaps it was because he had been in politics for many years, his temperament was gentle from the inside out, but his eyes were intimidating without anger, and were full of scheming and scheming.
Zhou Yunwan asked tentatively in a low voice: "Are you Brother Shen?"
Shen Yanxiang nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with her guess.
...
...
At this moment, a strange woman's voice came from the living room: "Yanxiang, who is it?"
Zhou Yunwan subconsciously looked over and saw a woman in a white turtleneck sweater walking two steps towards them. She was very beautiful and gentle, with a slender figure, and her every move exuded excellent temperament.
I think it must be my sister-in-law Wu Yi.
The eldest sister-in-law, Wu Yi, is 29 years old this year. She is also from Beijing. She has a pretty face and waist-length hair. She used to be Shen Yanxiang's secretary. After giving birth, she became a full-time mother at home and was responsible for taking care of the child.
Shen Yanxiang works in Hai City and his children go to school in Jing City, so she often travels between Jing City and Hai City. When the children are on vacation, she will take them to Hai City to live with Shen Yanxiang for a while.
Shen Yanxiang's job is of a special nature and he is a workaholic, so he has never given himself any vacation throughout the year.
When Shen Dewen had just had the accident, she left her child to her parents' care and took over the responsibilities of helping Guo Yulin on behalf of Shen Yanxiang. Later, she waited until Shen Dewen was in much better condition before leaving for Hai City.
It was not until Shen Yanxiang's unit had a holiday on New Year's Eve that they had time to return to Beijing.
Wu Yi naturally guessed Zhou Yunwan's identity. She had already taken her child to Hai City before Shen Yanli returned from Xiangbei Province. Guo Yulin told her what happened next on the phone.
After hearing about Zhou Yunwan's miserable life story, although she could understand her brother-in-law's soft-hearted decision, she was still somewhat uncomfortable with the sudden addition of someone in the house.
But after all, this girl's parents had agreed, so she couldn't act too unfamiliar or resistant.
So the corners of his mouth curled up into a friendly smile: "You should be the Xiao Wan that mom mentioned on the phone? We just got home, come in and sit down."
Zhou Yunwan also smiled and followed the couple inside. Next to the table were two boxes that had not yet been moved upstairs. On the sofa were two boys, one big and one small, playing with a Rubik's Cube and a toy car.
And it seemed that there was no one else in the house except Shen Yanxiang's family.
Hearing the noise, the two boys looked towards Zhou Yunwan at the same time. Perhaps because they saw a stranger, the two children were stunned for a moment and stopped stiffly.
While Wu Yi asked Shen Yanxiang to carry the box up, she gently introduced them to Zhou Yunwan: "These two are my children. The older one is eight years old and is called Shen Yue, and the younger one is five years old and is called Shen Chuan."
Then, she turned to the two children and said, "Chen Yue and Chen Chuan, call me aunt."
The two brothers Shen Yue and Shen Chuan obeyed obediently, and their sweet voices were very pleasing: "Hello, little aunt."
Both Chen Yanxiang and Wu Yi are very good-looking and have good genes. Their children are also pretty, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and chubby cheeks, which are very cute and make people want to pinch them.
Zhou Yunwan resisted the urge to pinch their faces and smiled brightly: "Hello, you little ones are so cute."
The younger Chen Chuan has liked beautiful things since he was a child, so he naturally has a good impression of the beautiful older sister in front of him. He blinked his big watery eyes, tilted his head and smiled sweetly at her: "Little aunt is also beautiful."
Zhou Yunwan's eyes became even more crooked. This sweet-talking kid is really touching.
Then, Chen Chuan seemed to have thought of something, and jumped down from the sofa holding the Rubik's Cube. He ran to Zhou Yunwan, stretched out his little hand, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and pulled it down.
Zhou Yunwan squatted down without any defense, looked him in the eye, and spoke in a softer voice unconsciously: "What's wrong?"
Chen Chuan's eyes sparkled, and he asked expectantly, "Aunt, are you uncle's wife?"
The innocent words of a child stunned everyone present, especially Zhou Yunwan who was closest to him.
Zhou Yunwan's face changed. Afraid of being misunderstood, she quickly denied it: "Ah? I'm not."
She certainly isn't yet.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed with doubts, and he pouted and said, "Why not? Isn't my uncle's wife my aunt?"
Shen Yue on the side reacted, laughed twice, and scolded unceremoniously: "Are you stupid? My uncle's wife is my aunt, not my aunt. My aunt is my uncle's sister."
Hearing her eldest son say this, Wu Yi came to her senses and explained embarrassedly: "I have been teaching Chuanchuan about seniority recently. He may not have remembered it clearly and got it confused."
Zhou Yunwan nodded to show her understanding. It was normal for a five-year-old child to not understand the generations. It was just a misunderstanding.
Seeing that his mother and brother were both denying it, Chen Chuan vaguely realized that he might have made a mistake. His little face turned red, and he pulled his aunt's clothes harder, muttering, "If my aunt marries my uncle, will she become a little aunt?"
"Uh..." Zhou Yunwan stared at the innocent face in front of her, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
Fortunately, Wu Yi immediately helped her out, walked over and hugged Shen Chuan into her arms, "Chuan Chuan, don't talk nonsense, the little aunt is the little aunt, and the little aunt is the little aunt. The two are different. Do you understand?"
The confusion on Shen Chuan's face deepened, and he looked like he didn't understand.
Wu Yi sighed. Although they were both sons, Shen Yue was much smarter than Shen Chuan when he was young. He could remember many things after being taught once, but Shen Chuan seemed dull and stupid. He might not remember clearly even after being taught two or three times.
After a moment of silence, she planned to teach Chen Chuan alone later, so it was better not to continue this topic for now, as it was really awkward.
Wu Yi looked at Zhou Yunwan and asked, "Aunt Wang should be out buying groceries at this time. Where are Dad and Yanli?"
Shen Yanli took Shen's father to the hospital for rehabilitation in the morning, and he should be back soon. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of the door opening from behind. It was really like saying the devil.
"Grandpa! Uncle!"
Shen Chuan in Wu Yi's arms greeted happily. Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen his family for a long time, his attitude was much more enthusiastic than before. He waved his little hands and a big smile appeared on his face.
Shen Dewen walked in with the help of Shen Yanli, and a smile appeared on his serious face. He touched Shen Chuan's hair and asked Wu Yi beside him: "Didn't you say you would be back in two days?"
Wu Yi smiled and said: "Yanxiang's unit suddenly notified us to go on holiday early, and it was hard to buy tickets for the next two days, so I just came back early."
Shen Dewen nodded, asked a few questions about Shen Yanxiang's work, and then sat on the sofa to rest. After a day of rehabilitation, his legs were a little exhausted.
Shen Yanli helped to take over Shen Chuan who had been rushing towards him, so that Wu Yi could go up and pack up the luggage she brought back.
But as soon as he took over Shen Chuan, the little guy couldn’t wait to lean over to his ear and whispered, “Uncle, why can’t the little aunt be the little aunt?”
The little guy thought his voice was very small, but in fact everyone could hear it.
Chen Yanli hesitated for a while, and a blush suddenly appeared on his handsome face.
