Chapter 118 Taking the Initiative to Return Home
As far as she was concerned, she shouldn't have moved out in the first place, but since Xu Shanshan wanted to move out, she had no choice but to follow suit, after all, Xu Shanshan had made the decision for her, which was why she ran away from home.
She didn't dare not stay with him.
Moreover, without Xu Shanshan around, the Wen family wouldn't give her a good look now that Xie Zhizhi is here, so why should she bother making a fool of herself?
She knew which family member to please within the Wen family.
After packing their things, Wen Qianqian and Xu Shanshan took a car back to the Wen family's small villa.
But there was still no one inside the small villa.
Wen Changyu and the others were still in the courtyard house. Aunt Wang from the family was also there. They had to prepare a lot of food for the lunch banquet. After the guests left, there would be a pile of tableware to clean up, and the messy kitchen would need to be cleaned up as well. So Aunt Wang stayed in the courtyard house to work.
Wen Changyu and the others naturally stayed in the courtyard to have dinner with He Yuzhi and the others.
The family enjoyed a happy dinner together.
Xu Shanshan led Wen Qianqian to sit until dark, and in the end, Wen Qianqian cooked two bowls of noodles to finish their dinner.
After finishing her meal, Xu Shanshan didn't go upstairs; she just sat down on the sofa downstairs.
Wen Qianqian turned on the TV and watched for a while, but there weren't many channels to watch, so she got bored and said to Xu Shanshan, "Mom, I'm going upstairs first."
Xu Shanshan nodded.
Wen Changyu and the others didn't return from the courtyard house until almost nine o'clock.
Before the car even entered the yard, Wen Jinzhou noticed that the living room light was on, which made him curious: "Why are the lights on in the house?"
Did you forget to turn off the lights?
Aunt Wang in the car quickly said, "No way! I checked all the lights before we left, and none of them were on!"
Wen Changyu glanced at the lit light, and as if remembering something, his hands on his lap involuntarily clenched into fists.
Wen Jinshu pushed up his glasses and said, "It's probably Mom and Qianqian who's back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wenwen, who was sitting next to him, lost some of her smile.
She disliked her sister-in-law Wen Qianqian, and this dislike extended to her mother-in-law Xu Shanshan, with whom she had little conflict.
Because she felt that Wen Qianqian's behavior was inextricably linked to her mother, Xu Shanshan, who spoiled and pampered her too much.
This led to Wen Qianqian having no basic respect for those around her.
Despite coming from a decent family, Wen Qianqian's sharp tongue and meanness seem to stem from an environment where she has to fight for food every day.
Upon hearing that it might be Xu Shanshan returning, the family got out of the car with varying emotions.
When they pushed open the door, it really was Xu Shanshan sitting there.
Before they could even speak, Xu Shanshan gave them a cold glance, got up, and went straight upstairs.
Wen Jinzhou and his group crowded at the doorway, watching this scene in silence, not one of them uttering a single word.
After Xu Shanshan's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, Wen Changyu gestured to everyone, "It's getting late, let's all go upstairs and rest." He paused and then added, "Be quiet."
Wen Jinzhou and the others were very self-aware and went upstairs quietly.
After thinking about it, Wen Changyu returned to the master bedroom.
He hadn't expected Xu Shanshan to come back on her own initiative.
He didn't intend to embarrass Xu Shanshan, but Xu Shanshan absolutely refused to agree to Zhizhi's family reunion banquet. He had no choice but to let her calm down first, which is why he didn't go to find Xu Shanshan.
The main reason is that before, he couldn't even get out of bed.
When he was able to get out of bed, he learned that Zhizhi was pregnant. In addition, the family reunion banquet was approaching, so he did not want to cause any more trouble and did not show up.
With him not showing up, Xu Shanshan's willingness to return on her own initiative led Wen Changyu to guess that something must have happened.
Did you encounter some difficulties outside?
Or is it that you don't have enough money on you?
Wen Changyu couldn't guess, so he didn't plan to ask her about Wen Qianqian tonight.
Although he intended for Xu Shanshan to get some rest, Xu Shanshan had no intention of letting him rest properly.
He had only been back in the bedroom for a short while, and hadn't even gotten close to the bed yet. He had just walked to the wardrobe, ready to grab some clothes to take a shower, when a pillow hit him squarely on the head.
The pillow hit him hard and had some weight, especially since Wen Changyu wasn't prepared. He felt a moment of dizziness.
Immediately afterward, Xu Shanshan's curses reached his ears: "Get out, you disgusting thing, I don't want to see you."
Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Wen Changyu's expression was also complicated. In the end, he said nothing, took two pieces of clothing, and left the bedroom.
Xu Shanshan was also a little confused!
Wen Changyu's situation is really getting further and further away from her expectations.
In the past, whenever she made a fuss, Wen Changyu would act as if he had done something wrong, apologize to her, and coax her in every way possible.
Today she thought Wen Changyu should do the same, so that she could at least salvage the situation for herself.
After all, she was the one who ran away from home on her own initiative, and she was the one who returned home on her own initiative, but... this time, Wen Changyu didn't give her a way out...
To be honest, Xu Shanshan was indeed a little flustered.
She couldn't accept living a humble life in the Wen family from now on.
How could I not feel humiliated? Or... could I get a divorce?
She's not afraid of divorce, but can Qianqian still marry Wen Jinzhou?
Without her pressure, it would be difficult for Wen Jinzhou to marry Wen Qianqian.
But if she divorces Wen Changyu...
Xu Shanshan's heart, which had long since grown old, still stirred with a rare flutter.
Leaving this marriage that has confined her for so many years... might be a very good thing.
But before that, she thought she should probably finish something else first.
When Xu Shanshan went out the next morning, everyone else in the Wen family had already left, except for Wen Jinzhou, who was still downstairs.
Zhizhi's family reunion banquet is over, and he will be returning to Jiangcheng soon, so... he still wants to talk to his biological mother.
He has longed for maternal love since he was a child; perhaps it's because the more you lack something, the more you want it.
Even though Xu Shanshan would hit him at the drop of a hat and be ruthless when criticizing him, he... just couldn't help but want Xu Shanshan to see his good qualities.
"Mom," he called out as soon as Xu Shanshan came downstairs.
Xu Shanshan glanced at him and gave a forced "hmm".
If Wen Jinzhou had offended her before, she would not have spent so long trying to destroy his spirit; she would have tormented him until he was filled with anxiety before she would have reluctantly let him go.
But now the situation is different; she must grab onto everyone she can to get rid of Xie Zhizhi.
"Are you going to the courtyard house later?" Xu Shanshan asked proactively.
Wen Jinzhou originally wanted to report Wen Qianqian.
But Xu Shanshan took the initiative to go to the courtyard house in advance, and Wen Jinzhou thought that she wanted to care about Zhizhi, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, go."
"Mom, Zhizhi is pregnant," Wen Jinzhou told her the good news.
Wen Jinzhou's words truly startled Xu Shanshan, leaving her momentarily dazed.
She suddenly thought of Xie Zhizhi when she was little. She was only a month old when she was taken away and didn't recognize anyone yet. But on the day she was taken away, she cried loudly, her little face turned red, and she seemed to have trouble breathing. She even held onto Xie Zhizhi's fingers tightly...
