Chapter 138 The Melon is Too Big
The melon was too big. Wen Zhizhi didn't move around much on the bus, but as soon as she got off, she ran straight back to the Wen family home.
She was so exhausted when she entered that she couldn't say a word, only panting heavily.
He Yuzhi poured her some water and carefully instructed her, "Drink slowly, what's wrong?"
Why are you running so fast?
Zhizhi didn't dare to speak, only taking small sips of water, afraid that if she spoke too soon, the water would go into her trachea and choke her.
I can't stand the dry mouth from not drinking water; I've been running too hard.
After drinking more than half a glass of warm water, Wen Zhizhi took a few deep breaths before speaking, "Grandma, guess who I saw outside today?"
He Yuzhi shook her head; she truly didn't know.
Wen Zhizhi immediately grabbed her arm and told her, "I saw my mom!"
He Yuzhi nodded, looked at her arm, and said to her granddaughter, "Don't get excited, don't get excited, where did you see your mother?"
Fortunately, Zhizhi realized the strength of this young man and quickly let go of He Yuzhi's arm, smoothed out the old lady's sleeve, and then said, "It's from the Cultural Relics Administration Department, after turning two corners at a market intersection."
Of course, that's not the point. The point is, "I saw her leading Wen Qianqian with a man, and that man looked a lot like Wen Qianqian."
After saying all this in one breath, Wen Zhizhi finally calmed down. She didn't need to drink water or take deep breaths to calm herself down completely.
Now it was He Yuzhi's turn to be unsettled. "With...with whom?" the old lady grabbed her granddaughter's arm and asked excitedly.
“A man who looked like Wen Qianqian was with the other two. It seemed like they were looking at shops together. They also went to the nearby market to buy vegetables and fruit. Then they got on a bus together. I didn’t dare follow them anymore and came back quickly.”
“She looks just like that brat… This, this can’t be,” the old lady denied. “That girl was brought from the countryside by your aunt. How could your mother be with that brat’s family?”
He Yuzhi still knows what kind of person Xu Shanshan is after all these years. She's arrogant and looks down on even her own family. How could she possibly lower herself to get close to her adopted daughter's family?
But Wen Zhizhi said, "Grandma, that man doesn't look like a country bumpkin at all!"
"Grandma, was Wen Qianqian really adopted from the countryside?"
He Yuzhi really couldn't answer this question.
Wen Runxiang, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "Just ask the child's aunt."
He Yuzhi frowned. "How should I call out?"
"If there's something fishy going on, do you think she'll come just because we call her?"
"Does coming here mean you can tell the truth?"
Wen Zhizhi thought for a moment, "If you call her, she might be on guard. Let... Big Brother call her. Once she's here, she won't have a choice but to talk."
"She's guilty for doing something wrong, so if we blow her up, she'll probably get everything she wants."
Wen Zhizhi originally thought of having Wen Changyu shout it, but then she thought that Wen Changyu was stubborn and probably wouldn't be willing to scheme against his wife's sister.
Wen Jinshu, her older brother, wears glasses and doesn't seem like a very "upright" person, making him a good match for her in doing "bad things".
He Yuzhi immediately nodded. "Okay, this matter needs to be clarified," the old lady said angrily.
Xu Shanshan was unaware that her secret had been discovered by Zhizhi.
Perhaps she didn't care anymore. After all, in her view, she was going to divorce Wen Changyu, and she would be a free person from now on. How she wanted to live was her business, none of anyone else's business, and no one else could interfere.
Feeling that it was none of anyone else's business, Xu Shanshan took Wang Jinghui to see the shop in the morning, and then took her back to her place at noon to cook for her.
Along with Wen Qianqian, they truly became a family of three.
Wen Zhizhi and He Yuzhi, grandmother and granddaughter, were plotting how to scare Xu Shanshan into telling the truth when she arrived.
The grandfather and grandson were huddled together, about to spend the whole afternoon discussing something, when the doorbell rang.
He Yuzhi wondered, "Who could come to the house at this time?"
Wen Zhizhi got up and ran to the French windows in the living room to look out. Then she saw Wen Jinzhou standing at the gate of the courtyard. "It's Second Brother," Wen Zhizhi turned to He Yuzhi and said.
He Yuzhi stood up. "Jinzhou, why are you back at this time?"
Wen Zhizhi had already run out to open the door.
"Second Brother, why are you back?" Wen Zhizhi asked as she ran out.
Wen Jinzhou watched Zhizhi run out, first nervously watching her footing, and only after seeing her run safely did he speak wearily, "I heard from my older brother that Mom and Dad are getting a divorce?"
Pain was now evident in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
He truly couldn't accept that his parents, who had been loving and supportive of each other their whole lives, had divorced in their old age.
It was clear he was in real pain, and Wen Zhizhi stopped baring her teeth. "Yes, Mom has moved out of the house."
After she finished speaking, Wen Zhizhi opened the door, and Wen Jinzhou came in from outside the courtyard.
Looking at the anxious and distressed Wen Jinzhou, Wen Zhizhi began to speak in a gentle and persuasive manner, "I'm sorry, Second Brother, it's all because of me."
Wen Jinzhou stopped in his tracks, while Wen Zhizhi continued her teasing, "Second brother, I just wanted to join this family, not destroy it. I didn't expect Mom to dislike me so much..."
After Wen Zhizhi finished speaking, she lowered her head, looking very sad.
Wen Jinzhou quickly waved his hand, "No, that's not it, Zhizhi." He held Zhizhi's shoulders and made her raise her head. He solemnly told Zhizhi, "Listen to your second brother, Zhizhi, you are very good. Our family likes you very much, really."
"But Mom..."
When Xu Shanshan was mentioned, Wen Jinzhou also fell silent. "Mom...maybe she...maybe she misunderstands you. She doesn't know you well enough."
“Zhizhi, you did nothing wrong, you are great, we are all so happy that you are back in this family, really.”
Zhizhi continued acting, "But if Mom insists on divorcing Dad, you won't blame me, will you?"
Wen Jinzhou raised his hand and rubbed her head. "That's their business, it's none of your concern."
Wen Zhizhi: Thank goodness, thank goodness, she's a good kid with sound values. Although she's a bit soft-hearted, she's not foolish.
"Second brother, did you come back to try and persuade Mom?"
Wen Jinzhou nodded, "Yes, they are not young anymore. If I can persuade them, I would like to try."
Zhizhi agreed, "Yes, it's a pity Mom doesn't like me, otherwise I would have gone to persuade her myself."
Zhizhi: People won't give up until they've personally hit a wall.
He tried to persuade her, but after being scolded, she gave up.
"Second brother, have you eaten yet?" Zhizhi asked again.
Wen Jinzhou nodded. "I ate before I got off the train."
The two talked as they entered the house. He Yuzhi and Wen Runxiang were both waiting there. They knew why he had come back, so they didn't ask any questions. Their first words to him were, "Have you eaten?"
As He Yuzhi spoke, she called out to someone, "Xiao Li, make something to eat for Jinzhou."
Wen Jinzhou quickly stopped her, "Grandma, I ate on the train," he said, his tone much softer, "I heard about Mom and Dad from my older brother, so I came back to see them."
"Do you know where Mom lives now, Grandma?" he asked.
Zhizhi nodded, "Yes, in that empty house at home. Dad said that the house will be left to her and Sister Qianqian, and the rest will be one for you and me!"
As soon as Wen Zhizhi said that, Wen Jinzhou knew where it was.
He didn't want to eat anything, so he put down his bag and said, "Zhizhi, Grandma, Grandpa, I want to go see Mom first."
He Yuzhi knew that her grandson was soft-hearted, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead, and try to persuade him if you can."
The old lady was also soft-hearted.
As for Xu Shanshan, after having dinner with Wang Jinghui, she took 1,500 yuan to the landlord to pay the rent for the shop.
When Wen Jinzhou arrived, she had not yet returned.
