Chapter 116 Unthinkable
She now realized the seriousness of the situation; having offended the Wen family, their family was in for a rough time.
She...she was just resentful that a country girl who had come back from the countryside was so beautiful, and that's how she ended up saying what Wen Qianqian had said. Who knew that Chen Ruogu would overhear her?
And Chen Ruogu has such a fiery temper.
She remembered that when Chen Ruogu was bullied by Wen Qianqian before, he didn't have such a bad temper. Wasn't he a pushover?
It doesn't matter if she can't figure it out. As soon as she stepped out of the Wen family's courtyard, Xu Lulu was pinched and scolded by her own mother, who yelled, "Are you trying to die?"
"Don't you know what you should and shouldn't say?"
"Are you trying to kill your father?"
As Xu Lulu's mother spoke, she couldn't help but break down in tears, "It's all over. After what happened today, who will dare to be friends with your father?"
As she spoke, she began to hit Xu Lulu hard again, saying, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, do you want to die?"
Xu Lulu cried, dodged, and protested, "It wasn't me who said it, it was Wen Qianqian who said it!"
Her mother angrily retorted, "Just because she says something doesn't mean you can say it!"
Are you out of your mind?
"Don't you know what you can and shouldn't say?"
"Don't you know how to say it? Don't you even know who your biological mother is?" Xu Lulu's mother was furious.
He cursed and swore, hitting her while crying in anger, and then dragged Xu Lulu away.
Even after driving the people away, He Yuzhi and the others were still furious inside the courtyard.
He Yuzhi, in particular, was furious and turned her anger on her son, saying, "Look, look, this is the good daughter you spoil and pamper, yet she throws all the blame and filth at your own daughter."
As He Yuzhi spoke, she angrily shoved her son, asking, "Whose father are you anyway?"
He Yuzhi was so angry that she burst into tears. "Zhizhi was lost when she was just a month old. She suffered so much outside, and now that she's back home, she's going to be bullied again?"
After hearing Xu Lulu say that those words were actually spoken by Wen Qianqian, Wen Changyu felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his heart. It was so cold that his face turned pale, his lips lost their color, and his expression became somewhat dazed.
Wen Zhizhi quickly stepped between the two and began to "add fuel to the fire," saying, "Grandma, calm down. Perhaps... perhaps there's some misunderstanding."
“We can’t just listen to what outsiders say; we also need to listen to what our own people have to say.”
As soon as Zhizhi said this, the guests all chimed in, "Yes, yes, perhaps there's some misunderstanding."
Wen Zhizhi quickly peeked out and said, "Yes, let's wait for Mom and Sister Qianqian to come over and ask them. It must be a misunderstanding."
Then she asked Wen Jinzhou, "Second Brother, when will Mom and Sister Qianqian arrive?"
“I even prepared gifts for them,” she said with a smile, but Wen Jinzhou didn’t dare to meet her eyes.
The guests who arrived at this point also realized that something was wrong. Xu Shanshan, Wen Zhizhi's biological mother, had not shown up at the family reunion banquet.
The Wen family all knew that Xu Shanshan wasn't coming today, but none of them could bring themselves to tell Zhizhi about it. How could they say it?
No matter how nicely you put it, if your biological mother doesn't come to the family reunion banquet, isn't that telling Zhizhi that your mother doesn't like you?
Therefore, the Wen family did not tell Zhizhi in advance that Xu Shanshan would not be coming.
Therefore, it was this inquiry that touched Wen Changyu even more.
At the family reunion banquet for her daughter who had been separated for twenty years, Xu Shanshan, the child's biological mother, refused to attend, even though the poor child had specially prepared a gift for her...
Wen Changyu already felt as if he had been splashed with ice water, and this made him feel even colder.
He rarely opened his mouth, but he said, "She's not coming."
The words "I'm not coming" silenced the onlookers, including relatives and friends.
The daughter who had been missing for twenty years was finally found, and a family reunion banquet was held, but her biological mother did not attend.
Everyone felt that no matter what excuse she gave, Xu Shanshan was muddle-headed, and not just a little muddle-headed.
It's like making a complete fool of yourself in front of everyone.
Those around them silently reminded themselves to avoid contact with such muddle-headed people in the future.
When Wen Zhizhi heard that Xu Shanshan wasn't coming, although it was expected, she still looked sad. "Mom and Sister Qianqian aren't coming because they don't like me, right?"
She nervously fidgeted with her fingers, saying, "I know I didn't have much schooling and grew up in the countryside. I'm not as outstanding as Sister Qianqian. Mom doesn't like me; she only likes Sister Qianqian as her daughter. It's only right, it's only right."
Zhizhi walked towards the hall, looking somewhat dejected.
Seeing her granddaughter's distress, He Yuzhi immediately began to recount the foolish things Xu Shanshan had done, "Zhizhi, don't be sad, she can come or not, it's up to her."
“You are our family’s granddaughter, whether she comes or not, it won’t change that.”
"Hmph, who are you trying to scare?"
"Did she think that if she didn't come, I wouldn't hold this family reunion banquet today?"
"Did she think that if she didn't come, my Wen family would bring the one she liked and treat her like a precious treasure?"
"Does she think that if she doesn't come, no one will know who the real daughter of the Wen family is?"
He Yuzhi said "She's not coming" three times in a row, which was enough to show her anger.
Wen Zhizhi quickly stopped and turned to help He Yuzhi. "Grandma, don't be angry. It's okay. Although Mom didn't come, you are all here. I'm very happy. I know you all love me."
After Zhizhi finished speaking, she kissed He Yuzhi, and He Yuzhi immediately brightened up, hugging her tightly and kissing her back, her face full of affection. "Of course, our Zhizhi is the best child, the best granddaughter. Our whole family loves you."
Wen Changle and Wen Changxin immediately expressed their support, saying they only cared about her.
Even Lin Wenwen, the sister-in-law, couldn't help but say, "Zhizhi is sensible and kind. Not only do Grandma and aunts like her, but I, as her sister-in-law, also like her."
Lin Wenwen's words were tantamount to supporting Zhizhi. If Zhizhi is kind and sensible, then it's easy to guess who is sensible and unkind.
Everyone quickly moved on from the unpleasant incident.
The Wen family prepared a delicious lunch, and the guests enjoyed themselves immensely. When the meal was over, the Wen family also gave each guest a small gift.
Everyone left with happy smiles on their faces, and no one was disappointed or saddened by Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian's absence.
Even Wen Changyu is one of them.
After his heart grew colder and colder, it became as calm as still water.
Guests leaving the Wen family, especially those with children, all told their kids to stay away from Wen Qianqian in the future.
Those men who came along would tell their wives, "Keep your distance from the Commander's wife; she's not thinking straight."
The daughter-in-law immediately replied, "Do you need to explain this to me? I'm not stupid."
Then he clicked his tongue, "It's rare to see this. His own daughter comes back, but he doesn't dote on her. Instead, he dotes on an adopted one. Really..."
"No matter how well an adopted child is raised, it's still not flesh and blood that fell from your own body!"
"Besides...besides that Wen Qianqian, I don't think she's any better than the Commander's own daughter. She's so beautiful! If she weren't already married, I'd want to..."
The man immediately rebuked, "You dare to even think that? She's the commander's only daughter. Do you think you have the right to even think about it?"
woman"……"
"It's just a thought!"
"I can't even think about it!"
Xu Shanshan barely slept last night and looked haggard the next day, but she still firmly believed that the Wen family would send someone to invite her, even though she wouldn't go.
