Zheng Peilan waved her hands and said, "What could possibly happen to me? Don't overthink it. I was just worried about you guys, so I told your dad that I wanted to stay with you for a while. He agreed, so I came."
This sounds so fake.
There was no way Song Zhenhua would agree.
A man like him would not help with household chores even if he knew that Zheng Peilan had a bad heart.
So he wouldn't agree to let him stay at home alone for so many days with no one to help him with laundry and cooking.
It’s no wonder. When Song Shishi came back just now, she saw no one at home.
I'm afraid Song Zhenhua went to Chunyang Street.
Seeing that Song Shishi wanted to say something, Zheng Peilan yawned, waved at Song Shishi and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first, you young people can have fun by yourselves."
Zheng Peilan looked like she was running away.
...
...
But Song Shishi was helpless.
She didn't dare to point it out because she couldn't bear the consequences of seeing Zheng Peilan fall in front of her again.
Looking at the closed door of the main house, Song Shishi sighed helplessly.
"She wouldn't tell me the truth."
After Song Shishi finished speaking, she turned to look at Meng Xunzhou who had already walked to her side.
"I can understand why Aunt Zheng didn't tell you. After all, no one would want their children to see such an unbearable scene if they encounter such a thing. And just as you are worried that Aunt Zheng can't accept it, she is also worried that you can't accept this fact."
Song Shishi understood what Meng Xunzhou said.
"I know. I just want to make sure of her attitude towards this matter first. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she will be stimulated again when I can't help myself."
What Song Shishi cares about most is Zheng Peilan.
For Zheng Peilan, it was okay for her to suffer a little injustice, she could endure it.
But she couldn't accept that Zheng Peilan was wronged.
Her mother is so good, she is beautiful, has a good family background, is educated, has good qualities, and is gentle and virtuous.
It was a blessing for Song Zhenhua to find Zheng Peilan.
But Song Zhenhua didn't know how to cherish it.
Meng Xunzhou looked at Song Shishi, who seemed a little dazed. He put his arms around her, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently to comfort her.
"Don't think too much about it. There is always a way to solve the problem. Since you were a child, you have trouble sleeping at night when you have something on your mind."
Meng Xunzhou really feels sorry for Song Shishi.
Although he hadn't figured out how to help Song Shishi in this matter, he would definitely be her strong backing and try his best to be her safe haven.
He didn't want to see Song Shishi worrying about these bad things all day long.
Song Shishi buried her face in Meng Xunzhou's arms and said in a muffled voice: "I know, I will adjust to it."
She was indeed as Meng Xunzhou said. She had not had a good night's sleep since she found out about Song Zhenhua's affair.
She had only mentioned her insomnia once when they were young, but she didn't expect Meng Xunzhou to still remember it.
In her previous life, she missed Meng Xunzhou because of An Jinsheng.
Fortunately, in this life, Meng Xunzhou never gave up on her and always stayed by her side, never leaving her.
…
As the morning began to brighten, Song Shishi got up as usual to make breakfast.
When she finished her work, the first ray of morning sunlight lazily shone through the kitchen window and onto her body, as if covering her with a golden veil.
When Song Shishi went out to work, Zheng Peilan hadn't gotten up yet.
Xu Li was worried, so she waited for Zheng Peilan to get up and have breakfast together before going out to look for Qiao Yanxin.
Today she is going to talk to Qiao Yanxin about renting a house.
When Xu Li arrived at the guesthouse, she saw Qiao Yanxin packing her things.
"Sister Yanxin, are you moving away?"
Qiao Yanxin nodded, "Well, living here is getting worse and worse. We can't find a house, so I plan to move back temporarily. When there is a suitable rental house, I will find a way to sell the house at home, so that I can have some start-up capital."
"Sister Yanxin, my sister said she can rent a room to you. My sister recently bought a courtyard house, and she said if you like, the room in the east wing can be rented to you."
Xu Li knew how hard it was for Qiao Yanxin to make her way in the society, so when she saw Qiao Yanxin being so helpless, Xu Li felt very uncomfortable.
When Qiao Yan heard about the courtyard, his eyes lit up and he nodded, "Yes, I do."
Qiao Yanxin had met Song Shishi before at a wedding.
During this period of time I spent with Xu Li, I always heard things about Song Shishi from her.
So Qiao Yanxin has a good impression of Song Shishi.
Of course she would be willing to live with familiar people.
That way, she wouldn't have to go back to that stinking house.
I'll go back and clean it up and find a buyer. When her bastard father comes out, he'll probably be so pissed off that he'll die.
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved.
Qiao Yanxin didn't ask how much the rent was. She packed up her things and took Xu Li to the courtyard.
"By the way, what is the relationship between your sister and Aunt Fu? Last time I saw her and Aunt Fu had a pretty good relationship."
"My sister and Aunt Fu's son are dating. They have been childhood sweethearts and were even engaged when they were young."
Speaking of Song Shishi, Xu Li seemed very excited.
Qiao Yanxin nodded, "So that's the case. Then I feel more relieved. Aunt Fu is my benefactor. Your sister will be Aunt Fu's daughter-in-law in the future, so we will be a family."
"You are my master, we are a family."
The two of them were talking when they arrived at the place.
"I've never lived in a courtyard house. I've only seen... well, I've only heard about it from other people."
Qiao Yanxin almost let the cat out of the bag, and then touched the tip of his nose guiltily.
"My sister is amazing. Not only is she good at making money, she is also good at negotiating prices. She bought this place with her own money."
Listening to Xu Li's description of Song Shishi, Qiao Yanxin felt that she had met Song Shishi too late.
She likes to make friends with such independent and outstanding women.
She doesn't like women who always like to depend on men, have no self-worth and no self-love.
"Sister Yanxin, this is the east wing. There is also an annex next to it. You can use it as a warehouse."
Qiao Yanxin looked around the yard and the east wing and was very satisfied with it.
Seeing Xu Li looking towards the main house from time to time, Qiao Yan thought to himself, "You go and do your own thing. I can take care of these myself."
"Okay then. If you need anything, just call me. I live in the west wing opposite."
Qiao Yanxin glanced towards the west wing and nodded.
Xu Li turned around and walked out, heading straight towards the main house.
The door of the main house was ajar. She knocked twice gently. "Aunt Zheng, are you there?"
Just when Xu Li thought Zheng Peilan was not at home, the door was opened from the inside.
Zheng Peilan heard some noise coming from the east wing and looked over there.
Xu Li took the initiative to explain: "That's my master Qiao Yanxin. She was the one who did sister Yinting's hair and makeup at her wedding. Sister Shishi agreed to rent the east wing to sister Yanxin, so I brought her here today."
"That's good. You don't have to run back and forth anymore."
Zheng Peilan didn't mind having another person live in the courtyard. Song Shishi could make the decision on these matters.
She was only concerned about Xu Li running around outside all day and was afraid that something might happen to her.
"Aunt Zheng, how are you? Tell me if you feel unwell. Sister Yan Xin is now living in our courtyard, so I will be at home more often in the future, and it will be more convenient for you to find me."
Zheng Peilan knew that she had scared the children when she fell ill last time. She felt guilty but also relieved.
All of the children were good kids and cared about her more than the man who had shared a bed with her for nearly twenty years.
She used to think that Song Zhenhua was just busy with work and had no time to care about her.
So she was already very satisfied with the care that Song Zhenhua showed sometimes.
But ever since she saw how gentle and considerate he was to that woman, she no longer believed Song Zhenhua.
Zheng Peilan met Xu Li's worried gaze, raised her hand and touched Xu Li's head, "I'm fine, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."
When Zheng Peilan asked this question, Qiao Yanxin happened to walk out of the east wing and heard it all.
