Chapter 92 Let her apologize to Qianqian
Xie Zhizhi hugged He Yuzhi's waist and said, "Yes, I'll listen to Grandma. I'm also reluctant to leave Grandma. Actually... I don't want to go back yet." Xie Zhizhi's last sentence was tinged with embarrassment.
He Yuzhi was heartbroken and couldn't understand her daughter-in-law's actions even more. What kind of mother would do that? Her own child was so beautiful, so well-behaved, and so sensible. Why did she not like her and instead go out of her way to favor the adopted child?
He Yuzhi wasn't saying that Wen Qianqian couldn't be loved; after all, the Wen family had taken the initiative to adopt her. But to push aside their biological children and even cover them up just to make way for the adopted ones, He Yuzhi just couldn't understand it.
Not only did she not understand, but no one in the room did either.
Xie Zhizhi didn't understand, so she decided to stay and figure it out, otherwise she would be annoyed to death.
After all that fuss, it was lunchtime soon.
In the courtyard, He Yuzhi asked Aunt Li to prepare a copper hot pot.
Xie Zhizhi ate so much hot pot mutton that she was completely stuffed.
Inside the hospital, Xu Shanshan still refused to eat.
No matter how much Wen Changyu tried to persuade him.
Seeing that the food had gone cold, Xu Shanshan said, "Let her come and apologize to Qianqian."
Even though she didn't name her, Wen Changyu understood what she meant.
Because he understood, Wen Changyu was shocked. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He couldn't speak anymore, but Xu Shanshan was able to. She said, "Qianqian has been by my side since she was little. I've raised her with all my heart. What right does she have to hit my Qianqian?"
She screamed hoarsely, her face grew even paler, and she coughed repeatedly.
She also knocked over the water that Wen Changyu poured for her.
In the end, Wen Qianqian poured her some water, and after drinking it, she calmed down.
Wen Changyu cleaned up the water stains on the ground, remaining silent.
Because he simply couldn't bring himself to ask Xie Zhizhi for it.
Xie Zhizhi's beating in the morning might have been a bit excessive, but Wen Qianqian was right to come up and verbally abuse her, even knocking the steamed bun from Zhizhi's hand to the ground.
Wen Changyu thought for a while and felt that it was because Xu Shanshan hadn't seen the whole thing, so she had some misunderstanding about Xie Zhizhi. Wen Changyu explained to her, "Zhizhi might have been a little agitated, but Qianqian wasn't right either..."
As soon as Wen Changyu finished speaking, Xu Shanshan's icy gaze swept over him. "So what?"
Wen Changyu: "Zhizhi just got back, and for such a small thing, you forced her to apologize..."
"A trivial matter?" Xu Shanshan sneered. "If she were the one who got beaten up today, would you still say it's a trivial matter?"
Wen Changyu fell silent again.
Absolutely not!
To be fair, if it were Zhizhi who was beaten today, her family would definitely make Qianqian apologize.
But then again, Zhizhi isn't like Qianqian. If Zhizhi hadn't bullied Wen Qianqian, and she had hit someone, she would definitely have apologized.
Wen Changyu fell silent immediately. Xu Shanshan understood something, and her expression became even more sarcastic. "What, isn't Commander Wen known for his eloquence?"
"Why did you stop talking?"
“That’s different,” Wen Changyu couldn’t help but say.
"How is it different?" Xu Shanshan pressed sharply.
"Zhizhi isn't the type to cause trouble," Wen Changyu could only say.
Wen Changyu was not unaware of Wen Qianqian's fear of hardship and her desire for enjoyment.
Xu Shanshan liked her very much, and since she didn't work, she could stay home with Xu Shanshan, saving Xu Shanshan from being sickly all the time. So Wen Changyu turned a blind eye to her shortcomings.
Wen Changyu also saw his biological daughter's daily journey of nearly three hours by bus to sell things and her efforts to make a living by sewing jewelry until nine or ten o'clock at night.
There's a reason she's angry with such a hardworking and ambitious child; how could Wen Changyu bear to be harsh with him again?
"Heh," Xu Shanshan sneered twice more, "So that's how worthless Qianqian and I are in your eyes."
Wen Changyu "..."
"That's not what I meant."
But Xu Shanshan was no longer willing to speak. She lay down on her side and closed her eyes.
Wen Changyu spent the entire afternoon agonizing outside the ward, still feeling that he couldn't force Xie Zhizhi to apologize to Wen Qianqian.
Although he could disregard right and wrong, he could tell Zhizhi, "Just apologize to her for Dad's sake."
Wen Changyu felt that this was not the right thing to do.
This poor child was lost for twenty years due to their negligence and has suffered enough. As soon as he returned home, he started to make the child suffer. In those twenty years, he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for a single day.
Is this reasonable?
Therefore, Wen Changyu never called Xie Zhizhi over.
Wen Qianqian stayed with Xu Shanshan in the ward, occasionally peeking out the door before going back in to say to Xu Shanshan, "Mom, Dad hasn't left, so he probably won't call that bitch over. Why don't you sneak a bite of something?"
As Wen Qianqian spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, if you keep not eating, what will happen to Qianqian if you really ruin your health?"
Having not eaten for a day and a night, and bleeding from cutting her wrists, Xu Shanshan was completely exhausted and even speaking was difficult. Yet, she still reached out to wipe away Wen Qianqian's tears, her face full of heartache. "Silly girl, why are you crying? How could you starve to death after just one day without food?"
When she was young, she went three days without eating in order to torment Wen Changyu.
From then on, as long as it didn't violate her principles, whatever she said was the truth, and Wen Changyu would never refute her.
Hearing her say that, Wen Qianqian's tears gradually stopped. "But Mom, I don't think Dad will call that bitch over."
Wen Qianqian looked aggrieved. "She is Dad's biological daughter after all, so Dad is bound to favor her."
Xu Shanshan held her hand, "But you are Mom's most beloved daughter. Mom said she wouldn't let anyone bully you, and she won't let anyone bully you."
"Mom, you're so good to me," Wen Qianqian said, leaning on her shoulder with a look of affection.
Xu Shanshan nuzzled her head, her face full of maternal love.
If it weren't for the era she lived in, she wouldn't have separated from Jinghui, and she would have given birth to Jinghui's child instead of marrying a scoundrel like Wen Changyu and having three children with him...
Just thinking about these things made Xu Shanshan's blood run cold.
When Wen Changyu entered the ward again, it was already dinnertime.
He carried the food into the ward and said to Wen Qianqian, "Qianqian, you should go back now. I'll stay here tonight to take care of you."
Wen Qianqian looked at Xu Shanshan, and Xu Shanshan nodded to her.
Although Xu Shanshan was staying in a VIP ward, the hospital conditions were still not as good as home. Xu Shanshan didn't want Wen Qianqian to stay there and suffer, so she nodded and let her go back.
Seeing that Xu Shanshan nodded, Wen Qianqian didn't say anything and turned to leave the ward.
As soon as Wen Qianqian left, Xu Shanshan snorted coldly, turned around, and closed her eyes with her back to Wen Changyu.
Wen Changyu placed the food on the bedside table and then knelt down beside it with a thud.
