Chapter 197 Zhou Shuang’s birthday wish is to have a little brother
Zhou Yanli watched Lin Shu leave. He sat there for a long time, and even when Sister Xi came to call him, he seemed unaware.
"gentlemen……"
Sister Xi didn't know what happened to her husband. The wife was just having dinner downstairs with the husband and the young lady, and then the wife's car disappeared in the yard, leaving the husband sitting there alone.
The expression on the gentleman's face was one that Sister Xi had never seen since she came to the Zhou family.
It was an indescribable sadness, just superficial, hanging faintly on the gentleman's face.
Not long after Zhou Yanli sat down, he received a call from the hospital. The voice on the other end sounded very anxious.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou? Miss Wen is in the hospital and her condition is very urgent. She is undergoing surgery. If you are free, please come over immediately."
Zhou Yanli had not yet recovered from the sadness of Lin Shu's departure. Even when he heard that Wen Xin was admitted to the hospital, the expression on his face remained indifferent.
"I'll be right there."
Zhou Yanli hung up the phone, sat in a chair for ten minutes, and then slowly walked upstairs.
Zhou Shuang was playing games in the room and didn't know that Zhou Yanli had walked in behind her.
She only saw Zhou Yanli when he squatted in front of her and touched her little head with his hand.
"Is it time for cake? But don't they say we can't blow out the candles until twelve o'clock?"
Zhou Yanli looked at her.
Zhou Shuang has the same eyes as Lin Shu, and her expressions and movements when speaking are also very similar to hers.
She is a replica of Lin Shu, so Zhou Yanli is particularly fond of Zhou Shuang.
In their marriage, Zhou Yanli's only dissatisfaction with Lin Shu was her education of Zhou Shuang. He always wanted to see Zhou Shuang happy.
That's why she would often bring her to Wen Xin, because Zhou Shuang was very happy when she was with Wen Xin.
But unexpectedly, when Lin Shu left today, he actually thought that it was he who arranged for her to give birth to Zhou Shuang, and he wanted to give Zhou Shuang to Wen Xin.
Zhou Yanli: "It's not time yet. Daddy wants to take you downstairs to blow out the candles now because Daddy has to go out later."
When Zhou Shuang heard that they were going to blow out the candles and eat cake, she immediately put down the game console in her hand.
"Okay, okay. Then I want Mommy to make a wish with me later. Aunt Wenxin said before that it only works if two people make a wish together when blowing out the candles.
And girls should make wishes together. Where are you going, Daddy? Are you going out with Mommy? I want to go too.
When Zhou Yanli heard the word "Mommy" from his daughter's mouth, his heart ached again.
He looked at his innocent daughter and spoke lightly.
"No. And Mommy may not be able to blow out the candles with you later. Because Mommy has something to do and left first."
Zhou Shuang looked at Zhou Yanli in disbelief. Mommy actually left. In the past, Mommy would always be with her, not to mention her birthday, even if there was nothing special.
Her little face shrank into disappointment, and she looked at Zhou Yanli pitifully.
"What about Aunt Wenxin? She always says she's busy. Can you ask her to come celebrate my birthday with me?"
Zhou Yanli's dark eyes darkened for a moment. He looked at Zhou Shuang with a very determined look.
"What would you do if Daddy told you that he would never let you meet Aunt Wenxin again?"
Zhou Shuang opened her eyes wide, looked at Zhou Yanli with great confusion, and shook her little head.
"Why don't you let me meet Aunt Wenxin? Is it because Mommy is unhappy? Mommy is still as stingy as ever.
"In the past, whenever we were with Auntie Wenxin, Mommy would cry and make a fuss. But lately, I see Mommy doesn't care about me much anymore. Why can't I see Auntie Wenxin anymore?"
Zhou Yanli was speechless when faced with his daughter's questioning.
"I mean, if, if you can't see Aunt Wenxin again, what will you do?"
He regretted letting Zhou Shuang be with Wen Xin. He also wondered if his daughter would be sad if Wen Xin stopped being with her.
Who knew that Zhou Shuang actually tilted her head to look at Zhou Yanli.
"If Aunt Wenxin disappears, will Mommy be at home with me every day? If so, then forget it."
Looking at Zhou Shuang's nonchalant look, Zhou Yanli didn't know whether to be happy or amused.
"Xiaoyu always tells me that Aunt Wenxin treats me badly and that Mommy treats me the best. Although I think what Brother Xiaoyu says is a bit strange, he wouldn't lie to me, would he?
And Aunt Wenxin seems to dislike me less and less. Every time I want to visit her, she won’t let me.”
In fact, Zhou Shuang had already broken Wen Xin's heart a long time ago. The reason why she still wanted to find Wen Xin was because Wen Xin had been too good to her before, and she would have a withdrawal reaction if she was not with her, which made it difficult for her to adapt.
"Okay, if you're sure you don't want to be with Aunt Wenxin anymore, I'll let Mommy come back to accompany you every day. But you have to listen to Daddy and do as he says, okay?"
Zhou Shuang nodded heavily.
"Know……"
Zhou Yanli took Zhou Shuang's hand and took her downstairs to blow out the candles.
Although Lin Shu was gone, Zhou Shuang didn't feel sad at all when she heard Daddy say that he would let Mommy come to accompany her every day.
When it came to the wishing part, Zhou Shuang closed his eyes. After making the wish, Zhou Yanli asked him.
"What wish did you make just now?"
Zhou Shuang: "Of course, I want Mommy to be with me every day, and I also hope I can have a little brother."
Zhou Yanli frowned slightly, not knowing where this idea came from, and touched her head.
"What do you want your little brother for? Do you want him to snatch your toys from you?"
Zhou Shuang stuck out her tongue and shook her head.
"That's what Aunt Wenxin said. She said that if she became my mommy, I would have a little brother to play with, and I wouldn't be lonely anymore.
Since I can't be with Aunt Wenxin anymore, Mommy will definitely give me a little brother. Won't that mean I'll have someone to play with?"
Zhou Yanli sighed as he looked at the girl's innocent expression, then blew out the candles with her.
The two of them shared some cake, and Zhou Shuang enjoyed it very much. Afterwards, he asked Sister Xi to take Zhou Shuang upstairs to rest, and then he went to the yard to get the car to go to the hospital.
When Zhou Yuanli rushed to the hospital, the lights in the emergency room were still on. He waited for more than two hours before the doctor came out.
"How is the patient?"
Zhou Yanli has become accustomed to Wen Xin coming to the hospital every now and then.
Coupled with Lin Shu's departure today, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and he really had no strength left.
"The patient was rescued in time and is not in serious condition for now. But she needs to be given enough rest and not overwork herself in the future."
After Wen Xin was pushed into the VIP ward, she woke up slowly not long after. When she saw Zhou Yanli, tears began to flow from her eyes, even though she rarely cried.
Zhou Yanli frowned slightly.
"Actually, you don't have to work so hard. You're not the only one at Weiting Technology. We have so many employees, so you have to learn how to use them."
Wen Xin sniffed and looked at Zhou Yanli. At this moment, she could no longer contain her grievances.
"Did the doctor tell you not to overwork? But you know working won't make me sick.
Today, Lin Shu brought a group of people to Panshan Road and asked me to hand over the house. I had already told you this when I called you before.
She collected ten kilograms of evidence and checked all the items in our villa one by one. She had everyone move away everything that could be taken away and even kicked me out of the villa.
I stood in the yard for five hours, just to help her count all those things. When I was with you, I always gave in to her and never caused her any trouble.
Six years ago, she was the one who intervened in our relationship. She seduced you into becoming Mrs. Zhou while I was abroad. After I returned to China, I didn't hold it against her.
But why does she keep biting me and being so aggressive? "
Wen Xin started crying out of grievance. Zhou Yanli did not comfort her, but just let her cry.
Zhou Yanli didn't speak until Wen Xin was tired of crying.
"Because she is Mrs. Zhou in name only. The relationship between you and me has grown from a youth to a family relationship. I am grateful for everything you have brought me, and I am grateful for saving my life. So Wenxin, I have been making it up to you. Don't you know?"
Wen Xin was dumbfounded. She thought Zhou Yanli loved her and that love had never changed.
As a result, after being humiliated by Lin Shu today, the only thing Zhou Yanli said to her was "compensation".
Wen Xin looked at him fearfully.
Shake your head slowly.
"No, Yanli, I know you love me. You have always taken care of me and given me everything I want. This is love.
What we have is the love of youth, and the mutual support after adulthood. I fight side by side with you and take care of your business affairs for you.
You helped me and made me what I am, and I will give you the same in return. We are a match made in heaven. If it weren't for Lin Shu, we would never have been apart."
She excitedly tried to grab Zhou Yanli's hand, but Zhou Yanli held her hand and put her under the quilt.
"Okay, you're not feeling well, don't think too much about it. Get some rest. There will be a nurse here to take care of you. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Wen Xin never expected that she would get such an answer. She still looked at Zhou Yanli with some hope.
"I'll wait for you. Also, I haven't seen Shuangshuang for a long time. You can bring her here tomorrow. But I look so haggard now. She might be scared if she sees me."
Zhou Yanli didn't say anything. After Wen Xin finished speaking, he left.
Seeing his unprecedented indifference, Wen Xin panicked for the first time. She absolutely couldn't go on like this. She had to take the initiative.
Since Zhou Yanli and Lin Shu have already gone to court for divorce, she has to start with the old man.
Wasn't it because she couldn't get pregnant that the old man separated her and Zhou Yanli? Now that her body has recovered, she wants to tell the old man that she can have children for the Zhou family.
Zhou Yanli's big reaction to me must be because of this matter.
He listens to the old man the most. As long as the old man agrees to their marriage, Zhou Yanli will change his mind and will definitely not accept Lin Shu.
She had to hurry up. She had to make sure they divorced, and she wanted to be the legitimate Mrs. Zhou, never to be bullied by Ren Linshu again.
