Chapter 117 Not a single member of the Wen family came to beg her.
But... but no one from the Wen family really came.
Neither Wen Changyu nor her second son, who always tried to please her, came.
She waited from eight in the morning, then nine, then ten...
When it was ten o'clock, Xu Shanshan felt that the Wen family was deliberately trying to put on airs with her. She even sneered, thinking, "Do the Wen family think I am like them?"
I'm afraid of this kind of tactic.
She wasn't afraid of looking bad at all; in the end, it would be the Wen family who would look bad, so what did she have to fear?
But it was already 10:30...11:00, and then 12:00, clearly past the start time for the banquet, and not a single person from the Wen family showed up.
Xu Shanshan wondered again, did the Wen family not know that she lived here?
She asked Wen Qianqian, "Do Wen Jinzhou and the others know that I live here with you?"
Wen Qianqian nodded. "Yes, I told Aunt Wang when I went back to get my things. Aunt Wang will definitely tell my second brother and the others."
Wen Qianqian said she had told him, and Xu Shanshan fell silent again. "Didn't Xiao Wang tell you?"
Xu Shanshan suspected that was the case; otherwise, given Wen Changyu's personality, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent to such a big event as the family reunion banquet. There must be a reason.
Xu Shanshan felt that the reason must be that Xiao Wang at home had forgotten what Wen Qianqian had told her.
Wen Qianqian thought it was possible. "I'll go back and ask Wang Chunlan right now," Wen Qianqian said, grabbing her bag and storming out.
Xu Shanshan didn't stop her; she was also very anxious if she couldn't figure out the answer.
Wen Qianqian returned to the Wen family's mansion after many twists and turns, only to find that no one in the Wen family was there, not even the family's housekeeper, Wang Chunlan.
No matter how much she called, no one appeared.
When no one answered her calls, Wen Qianqian thought for a moment and then went upstairs.
The other people's bedrooms upstairs were all locked, but Wen Changyu didn't have the habit of locking his bedroom door, so it opened as soon as he pushed it open.
Following Xu Shanshan's instructions on where to put the money, Wen Qianqian opened the drawer, took out 1,000 yuan, put it in her bag, and then went out.
When she got back, she told Xu Shanshan, "There's no one at home, not even Wang Chunlan. I wonder if it's because you and I weren't home that Dad gave her a day off."
As for taking 1,000 yuan from Xu Shanshan's bedroom, she didn't mention it at all.
Wen Qianqian couldn't figure out why Aunt Wang wasn't home, but Xu Shanshan did.
Because the family reunion banquet was organized by the mother-in-law, He Yuzhi, it was probably held in a courtyard house.
As for Wang Chunlan, she must have gone to the courtyard house to help out early in the morning.
Otherwise, such a large feast couldn't be managed by just one person.
This indirectly proves that the family reunion banquet did take place, but... no one really came to talk to her or beg her to come over...
Xu Shanshan suddenly felt a terrible headache. She covered her head and said with a pale face, "Qianqian, Mom has a bit of a headache. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while."
Wen Qianqian nodded. "Okay, Mom, you go ahead. Lulu asked me to go out today, I'm going to find her."
Having just received a huge sum of 1,000 yuan, she naturally wanted to go out and shop!
Wen Qianqian didn't have many friends to begin with, and even fewer were as obsequious to her as Xu Lulu. So, when she went out to shop, in order to satisfy her vanity, she decided to first go to see her little follower, Xu Lulu.
After all, Xu Lulu would be drooling with envy later, and the thought made her happy.
Wen Qianqian went to see Xu Lulu today, but Xu Lulu told her, "Lulu isn't home," in a very unpleasant tone.
And after saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Wen Qianqian "..."
No, Xu Lulu's mother even dared to give her the cold shoulder?
Before she could even get angry, the sound coming from behind the door was even more irritating to her eardrums.
Inside the door, Xu Lulu asked: "Mom, does she believe it?"
Xu Lulu's mother: Whether she believes it or not, if you dare to play with her fake stuff again, I'll skin you alive.
Xu Lulu's mother: Bah! She's an adopted child. She doesn't even know her place, and she's dragging you down with her. I didn't slap her because I'm good-natured.
These words seemed to be deliberately spoken to Wen Qianqian, and every single one of them reached her ears even through the door.
Wen Qianqian didn't know how she left Xu Lulu's house. All she knew was that her mother was right. Once the Wen family held this family reunion banquet, Wen Qianqian would have no status left.
The thousand yuan in her bag suddenly made her unhappy.
She was so angry that she went back.
Xu Shanshan lay in bed, unable to sleep due to a headache.
She couldn't understand why not a single member of the Wen family had come to beg her for help today.
Why is there no one here?
Previously, no matter what the matter was, Wen Changyu not only coaxed and begged her, but his son Wen Jinzhou also went to great lengths to coax and beg her. This time...
The only difference from before... the difference is probably the change in Xie Zhizhi, Xu Shanshan thought.
"Mom," Wen Qianqian called out as she entered the room, wiping away her tears.
Xu Shanshan rubbed her head and got up. Seeing her tears, she sat up straight and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Who bullied you?
Wen Qianqian didn't have many tears to begin with, but after hearing the question, "Who bullied you?" tears streamed down her face. "It was Xie Zhizhi, it's all that bitch's fault..." she said, sobbing uncontrollably.
Xu Shanshan quickly gestured for the person to sit on the edge of the bed, wiping away their tears while angrily asking, "Did you run into her when you went out?"
"What did she do this time?"
"I knew it. She inherited her family's hypocritical nature and is definitely not a good person," Xu Shanshan said through gritted teeth before Wen Qianqian could even open her mouth.
Wen Qianqian simply stopped talking and buried her head in Xu Shanshan's arms, sobbing.
After sobbing for a while, Wen Qianqian told Xu Lulu's mother what she had said, "Waaah, Mom, they all say I'm adopted, a fake, not the Wen family's biological child, and that no one in the family will love me. Lulu's mother said that Lulu should stay away from me from now on, saying I'm bad luck..."
This broke Xu Shanshan's heart. She held Wen Qianqian tightly, her eyes swirling with emotion, before finally making up her mind.
She had figured it out: Xie Zhizhi, the daughter of the Wen family, had taken after the Wen family and was full of bad intentions. If she continued to insist on living outside, she would only be giving that wretched girl a free ride. So she was going to move back.
Although doing this might be a bit undignified for her, it's better than letting that brat benefit from everything!
Even if she doesn't fight for herself, she will fight for Qianqian.
Thinking this, Xu Shanshan gently wiped away Wen Qianqian's tears, "Don't cry. As long as Mom is here, you will always be a daughter of the Wen family. Mom only loves you, and you must have a share of everything in the Wen family."
Wen Qianqian was now very skeptical of Xu Shanshan's words, "But..."
Xu Shanshan stood up. "Qianqian, pack up, we're moving back."
Wen Qianqian looked slightly surprised, but quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll go pack my things now."
Wen Qianqian wasn't stupid; she knew that, under the current circumstances, moving back was the best option for them.
