On the surface, the family at the dinner table appeared to be harmonious, but in reality, each person harbored their own thoughts. Xu Feng felt increasingly distressed when she saw Shen Huai'an; she found it very difficult to swallow the anger she had just felt.
What is Shen Huai'an anyway? Does he still think he's the same Shen Er who once held absolute power?
Xu Feng glanced at Lin Wanxing, who was engrossed in eating, looking like a starving ghost. All he knew was how to eat. He and Shen Er were truly a match made in heaven.
Xu Feng put away the disdain on her face and asked with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Shen has some problems with his legs. I wonder if this will cause any inconvenience in his daily life?"
“I know many TCM practitioners. Many disabled people or bedridden people have been cured by TCM. Mr. Shen only has a limp in one leg, so I think it should be easier to treat him. If you are interested, I can introduce you to some TCM practitioners.”
She spoke gently and treated Shen Huai'an with a smile, being extremely polite, but every word she uttered pierced his wounds.
The wealth and power of the Shen family are obvious to all. If there is even the slightest chance to save this leg, the Shen family will spare no effort to help Shen Huai'an find a doctor to cure him.
So many years have passed, and Shen Huai'an has made great efforts to go from being in a wheelchair to now, but his leg is destined to be disabled.
Shen Huai'an rarely uses a wheelchair now; he only needs a cane.
Xu Feng kept provoking Shen Huai'an with her legs, wanting to see him make a fool of himself, but to her disappointment, Shen Huai'an remained unusually calm in response.
“Mrs. Chen, you don’t need to worry about that. Although I have a limp, it won’t affect my daily life.”
Xu Feng gave an awkward dry laugh. "I'm just worried about Wanxing. After all, he's going to spend his whole life with you, and there are many things I'm concerned about, which is why I asked."
Chen Shuhua understood perfectly well that Xu Feng was deliberately provoking him and trying to embarrass Shen Er. He nudged Xu Feng with his elbow, signaling her to shut up.
Chen Xueping rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "My mother is just concerned about my brother. Mr. Shen, please don't misunderstand. My brother will take good care of you from now on."
Lin Wanxing stared silently at the rice in his bowl, then slowly raised his head to look at Xu Feng.
These people are really annoying. They can't control their mouths and start talking nonsense. They know that Second Brother's leg is injured, but they still deliberately ask him questions that make him sad.
Lin Wanxing chewed the food in his mouth vigorously, his cheeks bulging, his eyes extremely bright. He tilted his head, frowned, and asked thoughtfully, "Traditional Chinese medicine? Auntie knows so many TCM doctors, so is TCM really effective?"
"My second brother's leg needs a highly skilled doctor. Auntie, is the traditional Chinese medicine doctor you recommended really okay?"
Hearing this fool questioning her, Xu Feng immediately became unhappy. She frowned and said, "Wanxing, you don't understand. The old Chinese medicine doctor I know is one of the best. He can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. And let me tell you, the Chinese medicine doctors I know are the kind that many people would try to hire but can't."
After listening to her rambling on and on, Lin Wanxing suddenly revealed an innocent smile.
He said in a clear voice, "Auntie, since you say traditional Chinese medicine is so amazing, why can't you have a son?"
"You've been seeing traditional Chinese medicine doctors and drinking herbal medicine all this time, so why haven't you given my dad a son yet?"
Chen Xueping's face changed immediately, and she asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Wanxing widened her eyes and said seriously, word by word, "Auntie has been taking care of her health, trying to give you a little brother, didn't you know?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xueping suddenly flew into a rage. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, loudly questioning, "Mom, didn't you say that having me as your daughter was enough? Why were you secretly going to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor behind my back?"
"Am I not good enough as a daughter?"
Xu Feng's face immediately turned pale. She glared at Lin Wanxing and quickly explained, "Mom, it's because I'm afraid I'll be too lonely after I get married, so I want to give you a younger brother so he can keep me and your dad company."
Lin Wanxing realized he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"I didn't know you didn't know about this, sister. After all, Auntie has been trying to drink Chinese medicine for years to give you a younger brother. I thought you knew about it too."
"It's so great to have a younger brother. You'll have someone to play with from now on."
Chen Xueping grew increasingly angry as she listened. She hadn't expected her mother to have been doing so many things behind her back, like having a younger brother. What was her mother trying to do? Chen Xueping knew her mother all too well; back then, her mother had used her to bind her father and enter the family.
Xu Feng shouted angrily, "Lin Wanxing, shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Chen Shuhua glanced at Chen Xueping, "Sit down and eat. We'll talk about this later."
When Chen Xueping saw her father's attitude, she was furious. She shouted, "Dad, did you know about this too?"
Hearing Chen Xueping's tone, Chen Shuhua's temper flared up.
Chen Shuhua slammed his chopsticks on the table with a "bang" and pointed at Chen Xueping angrily, saying, "Is this how you talk to me?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Fang Ze immediately stood up and pulled Chen Xueping. He smiled and pulled Chen Xueping, "Xueping, don't be like this. Let's talk it out. It's only natural that your parents want a son. A couple always needs to have a child."
Fang Ze knew nothing. He thought Chen Xueping was Xu Feng's daughter and had no relation to Chen Shuhua, which was why he was advising people in this way.
Chen Xueping was furious and wouldn't listen to Fang Ze. She pushed him away and shouted, "What's there to say? I'm getting married, and they're still planning to have a baby. It's ridiculous!"
