Chapter 156 Now that this matter has been published in the newspaper, it won't change.
When Wang Chunlan looked up blankly, Xu Shanshan had already stepped into the Wen family's house.
Inside the Wen family's house, He Yuzhi was taking apart yarn with Xiao Li. He Yuzhi asked Xiao Li to knit sweaters for Zhizhi and her children when he had nothing to do.
Hearing the noise, without even looking up, he asked, "Chunlan, who is it?"
As he spoke, he raised his head.
Upon seeing that it was Xu Shanshan, He Yuzhi's expression also turned sour. "Why did you come back?"
The thought of her son vomiting blood from anger made He Yuzhi furious.
Even if Xu Shanshan was mentally prepared, returning at this point would only result in humiliation.
But when the harsh words actually landed on her face, she was still so angry that she trembled all over, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "Why can't you come back?"
"Your son hasn't divorced me yet, has he?"
"If you don't want me to come back, then have your son divorce me!" She was still arrogant, clinging to the point of divorce.
Anyway, it wasn't her who was clinging to Wen Changyu. As for whether Wen Changyu was clinging to her and unwilling to let go, that's a question for Wen Changyu to answer.
He Yuzhi was indeed furious at these words. "Divorce, divorce, divorce! Who do you think wouldn't dare to divorce you?"
"Xu Shanshan, don't blame me for being harsh, but with your tendency to cause trouble, you're in for a rough time!"
"Heaven brings rain, man brings misfortune. You're wasting your good days, you'll regret it one day. Go ahead and do what you want!"
Xu Shanshan wouldn't listen at all. "That's none of your business. Anyway, I can't get food from your doorstep. Just tell your son to divorce me, and that's all."
He Yuzhi glanced at her again, "You came back for this, right?"
"OK!"
"Chunlan, call Changyu."
Xu Shanshan wanted to speak, but she hadn't come back for this matter; she had come back for Wen Qianqian's sake. However, when the words reached her lips, she felt that if she spoke now, she would be inferior to He Yuzhi, so she simply kept her mouth shut.
Wang Chunlan made a phone call, carefully choosing her words, and only said, "Commander, Madam wants you to come back."
She really didn't know what to say.
Your wife wants a divorce?
She felt it was inappropriate.
Let's hope that things don't go wrong and the war ends up here with her.
"She's back?"
"Uh-huh!"
Wang Chunlan may not know why Xu Shanshan returned to the Wen family, but Wen Changyu had a guess: Xu Shanshan's return at this time was most likely because of Wen Qianqian's matter.
So he said, "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chunlan carefully said to Xu Shanshan, "The commander said he'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, Wang Chunlan quickly went into the kitchen, just like many times before, not daring to stay in the living room.
She was running so fast that He Yuzhi couldn't help but ask, "Chunlan, why are you running so fast?"
Without turning her head, Wang Chunlan said, "I'm preparing dinner."
"Evening? That's way too early!"
He Yuzhi deliberately ignored Xu Shanshan, talking to Wang Chunlan while winding yarn with Xiao Li.
Xu Shanshan didn't take her seriously and went to the restaurant to sit by the window.
Gazing at the familiar scenery outside the window, Xu Shanshan began to think about her time abroad...
When she was young, her family was wealthy, and she attended a Western-style school for two years, learning a few words of English. But over the years, she's lucky if she can still remember a couple of sentences. And now, abroad...
However, Jinghui mentioned there's a Chinatown...
Xu Shanshan sat there alone, sometimes feeling worried, sometimes feeling relieved.
He Yuzhi secretly glanced at her a few times, and whispered to Wen Runxiang beside her, "What do you think she's thinking?"
Wen Runxiang nudged her elbow to stop her from speaking.
Wen Runxiang glanced back at Xu Shanshan, sighed, and said nothing more.
After all, Xu Shanshan is his daughter-in-law, not his daughter, so it's not his place to lecture her.
Even if she really is bad, it should be her son who says so, not him, the father-in-law.
Therefore, Wen Runxiang has always been silent and has little presence.
Wen Changyu returned not long after.
In the courtyard, he saw Xu Shanshan sitting at the dining table through the window.
Upon seeing Xu Shanshan, Wen Changyu paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and continued walking into the house.
His pause caught Xu Shanshan's attention, and she quickly turned her gaze away from the window and got up from the dining table.
As soon as Wen Changyu entered, she rushed towards him and asked, "Did you publish a notice in the newspaper terminating your adoption relationship with Qianqian?"
Wen Changyu was good-natured after all, and he was still able to patiently explain to her, "Well, if you divorce me, she will leave with you, and it's normal for me to terminate my adoption relationship with her."
Wen Changyu's real intention was to tell Xu Shanshan that he wouldn't be the one to take the fall.
But Xu Shanshan misunderstood, "You want to use this method to threaten me into not divorcing you?"
Wen Changyu "..."
"No, Shanshan, I told you, I..."
Xu Shanshan interrupted him directly, "Wen Changyu, you are really shameless. To satisfy yourself, you even want to take advantage of the child you raised yourself."
Wen Changyu's expression changed because of her words. "Don't be unreasonable," he blurted out, but then realized that his words seemed very hurtful, and he stopped talking with a dark expression.
His gaze fell on Xu Shanshan, and sure enough, her expression was not good.
Xu Shanshan was indeed quite taken aback. She never expected that Wen Changyu would one day dare to say that she was being unreasonable.
Xu Shanshan suddenly became even more unreasonable. She raised her hand and shoved Wen Changyu, saying, "Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about? You shameless people are turning around and accusing me, aren't you?"
Wen Changyu took a step back to steady himself.
He Yuzhi wanted to come over, but Wen Changyu waved her off and then said to Xu Shanshan, "I admit it was a slip of the tongue, but I won't change my mind about Qianqian. I've already let go of what you hid from me about adopting her back then, but you expect me to hold my nose and continue to acknowledge her as my daughter, Shanshan, don't you think you've gone too far?"
“I’ve already said I’ll take her with me in the divorce, I’ll take her with me,” Xu Shanshan persisted.
“Then she can also be said to be my daughter, Wen Changyu,” Wen Changyu retorted loudly.
After shouting, Wen Changyu tried to calm himself down. "I raised her for twenty years without knowing her whereabouts, which is more than enough. She has her own father, who is physically healthy and has no health problems. It's not my place to adopt her."
"If you came here today just for this matter, please leave. Since I have already published this in the newspaper, it will not be changed."
After Wen Changyu finished speaking, his face darkened, he pointed to the door and said, "Please come in!"
Xu Shanshan was already stunned by his shout, and now that he was chasing her away again, the muscles on her face twitched rapidly. In the end, she couldn't say a word, and angrily left the Wen family, stepping on her leather boots.
When Wen Qianqian, who was standing next to the guard room, saw her come out, she immediately ran over and said, "Mom, Mom..." Wen Qianqian's face was full of joy. She felt that things must have changed after Xu Shanshan went back.
Xu Shanshan ignored her and just kept walking forward with her neck stiff.
