Chapter 89 What mistake did I make?
Although Wen Changyu didn't say it aloud, Xie Zhizhi still caught something from his glance at her.
Xie Zhizhi: Oh ho, looks like it's all related to me again.
Xie Zhizhi, biting into her steamed bun, wondered why Xu Shanshan couldn't accept her, as she was Xu Shanshan and Wen Changyu's biological daughter.
It's unbelievable that someone would attempt suicide by cutting their wrists.
The paternity test was done by her and Wen Changyu; there's no melodramatic plot involved. She was Xu Shanshan's illegitimate child, which she was afraid would be discovered.
It couldn't possibly be that Wen Changyu had a child with someone else and forced Xu Shanshan to acknowledge it, could it?
Xie Zhizhi immediately looked at the Wen family members and their expressions...
That's impossible. If that were the case, He Yuzhi and the others wouldn't have been so assertive in front of Xu Shanshan.
Of course, there are also shameless ones who think that whatever their son does is right.
But judging from Xie Zhizhi's interactions with He Yuzhi, this grandmother is definitely not that kind of person.
So... what exactly is the reason?
Wen Jinshu distributed breakfast to Xie Zhizhi and the others, and Lin Wenwen also brought two breakfasts into the ward to give to Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian.
The ward is separated from the outside world by only one door, so the noise outside can be faintly heard into the ward.
Wen Qianqian knew that it seemed to be He Yuzhi and the others who had arrived.
Upon seeing Lin Wenwen enter, Wen Qianqian immediately asked in an annoyed tone, "Is it Grandma and the others?"
Lin Wenwen glanced at her pale and sickly mother-in-law, and suppressed her sister-in-law's rudeness, "Yes, I'll go with Zhizhi."
Lin Wenwen deliberately brought up Xie Zhizhi to retaliate against Wen Qianqian's rudeness.
She really didn't understand why Wen Qianqian, an adopted daughter of the Wen family, was so arrogant every day.
As expected, Wen Qianqian immediately became furious upon hearing Lin Wenwen's words, "She still dares to come?"
Just now in the ward, Xu Shanshan briefly told Wen Qianqian about the matter. She said, "The Wen family is going to hold a family reunion banquet for Xie Zhizhi, so that everyone knows that the Wen family's biological daughter has been found, and that the Wen family's relatives and friends know that she is the Wen family's biological daughter."
Before Wen Qianqian could get anxious, Xu Shanshan said weakly, "I won't let this happen."
“Since she lost it back then, it means she wasn’t destined for it. Now the Wen family’s daughter is you, and it can only be you in the future, Qianqian.”
Wen Qianqian immediately understood why Xu Shanshan had cut her wrists.
She was also touched, hugged Xu Shanshan, and said affectionately, "Mom, you're so good to me!"
Xu Shanshan smiled and said, "Silly child, if Mom doesn't treat you well, who will?"
Wen Qianqian scolded, "It's all Xie Zhizhi's fault! If she hadn't come back, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this, Mom!"
"If she dares to come to the hospital later, I'll curse her to death."
Wen Qianqian kept her word. When she heard from Lin Wenwen that Xie Zhizhi had also arrived, she immediately put down the breakfast that Lin Wenwen had handed her and rushed out of the ward to cause trouble for Xie Zhizhi.
Xu Shanshan did not object to this.
She actually hoped that Wen Qianqian would make a scene, so that Xie Zhizhi would know that she was not welcome in this family, and that everyone was having such a bad time because of her.
She wanted to see just how thick-skinned this girl was to continue staying here.
If she can't stand it here, she should go back to Jiangcheng and be with her husband. She wouldn't make things difficult for her anymore.
Leaving Beijing would be too far away. Even if the Wen family cared deeply for their biological children, what could they do?
Just like Wen Changyu's two younger sisters, they live far away, so how much contact can they have with their brother?
Therefore, she wouldn't stop Wen Qianqian from making a scene.
No matter how much trouble Wen Qianqian causes, she won't let Wen Qianqian suffer.
Wen Qianqian rushed to the ward door and immediately spotted Xie Zhizhi eating a steamed bun.
"Smack!" The half-eaten bun in Xie Zhizhi's hand was slapped to the ground by Wen Qianqian.
"What are you doing?" He Yuzhi immediately shoved Wen Qianqian.
Wen Qianqian was shoved and stumbled, but she took two steps back to steady herself. Everyone then gathered around Xie Zhizhi.
Zhou Lin had just pulled Wen Jinzhou aside to explore the mystery.
He knew Wen Jinzhou was simple-minded, so he hoped to glean something from his words.
The day after Xie Zhizhi returned to the Wen family, Xu Shanshan cut her wrists and was hospitalized; this was clearly not normal.
So he wanted to see what was going on.
If the Wen family doesn't welcome their daughter Zhizhi back, he will take Zhizhi back with him.
As long as Zhizhi can refuse the Xie family's entanglement, his and Zhizhi's lives won't be too bad, so there's no need for him to hold his nose and try to "climb the social ladder" to get rich.
Before Wen Jinzhou could even say anything useful, this adopted daughter of the Wen family actually hit Zhizhi in front of so many people.
Zhou Lin's expression immediately turned sour.
He squeezed next to Xie Zhizhi, checked her over from head to toe, and only after confirming that she was unharmed did he say to Wen Changyu with a very bad expression, "Since Zhizhi is not welcome here, I will take her back first."
After saying that, he took Xie Zhizhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi, let's go!"
Zhou Lin did this to get a clear stance from the Wen family. If the Wen family handles this matter vaguely, Xie Zhizhi won't need to return to the Wen family in the future; doing so would only bring her trouble.
Xie Zhizhi understood this principle; Zhou Lin helped her get the Wen family's attitude, and she also needed the Wen family's attitude.
Wen Changyu's face immediately darkened, and he scolded Wen Qianqian, "Qianqian, apologize to Zhizhi!"
How could Wen Qianqian apologize so easily? She pointed at Xie Zhizhi and angrily accused her, "Why should I apologize? It's clearly her fault!"
Xie Zhizhi gestured for Zhou Lin to release her hand, then flexed her wrist and walked towards Wen Qianqian. "Oh, I don't know what I did wrong?"
When Wen Qianqian saw that she dared to ask her, she immediately pointed at Xie Zhizhi and shouted, "If it weren't for you, would Mom have cut her wrists?"
"You still insist you're right!"
Wen Qianqian's words were like a bomb, shattering the calm surface of the water. The Wen family members all subconsciously looked at Xie Zhizhi.
Soon, He Yuzhi spoke up to defend her granddaughter, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
“Zhizhi has been with me the whole time, and she just got back yesterday. How could she have cut her wrists?”
Before Wen Qianqian could speak, Wen Changyu suddenly shouted, "Enough!"
Wen Qianqian shut her mouth, feeling wronged.
Wen Changyu turned to Zhou Lin and said, "Zhou Lin, the hospital doesn't need so many people right now. Why don't you take Zhizhi back with her grandparents?"
Wen Changyu didn't dare let Wen Qianqian tell him why Xu Shanshan had cut her wrists. He could understand that Xu Shanshan couldn't get over what happened back then, but what about the child?
Did the biological mother cut her wrists to prevent a family reunion banquet in her honor?
What is Zhizhi thinking?
How heartbroken she must be.
Therefore, Wen Changyu forbade Wen Qianqian from continuing.
Wen Qianqian shut her mouth, feeling wronged.
Xie Zhizhi, however, did not want to leave in such a cowardly manner.
She wasn't the original owner of this body; she was an outsider and had no interest in kinship in this world. If the Wen family genuinely treated her well, she would naturally be willing to associate with them; otherwise…
Why should she have to suffer these injustices? She thought, looking at the half-eaten bun on the ground.
