Chapter 12 If This Isn't Love

Being scolded in front of so many people and on such an important occasion, my parents' faces instantly became extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, their sweet little cotton-padded jacket, their treasure, the soft little baby hurriedly stepped forward and said weakly, "Grandma, please don't be angry!"

"Misunderstanding, you misunderstood Brother Yanyu!"

"Brother Yanci helped me in because my leg was injured!"

Shen Yanci, who was standing by, said with a dark face, "Yes, grandma, you misunderstood. I didn't come with Rourou. I met Rourou at the door and saw that her leg was injured and she was having difficulty walking, so I helped her in."

"She was injured because she heard that the amulets at Nanshan Temple are particularly effective, especially on birthdays, so she went to Nanshan Temple to get a amulet for you."

"In order to give you the greatest blessing with her utmost sincerity, she kowtowed every step she took to pray for a peace charm for you, hoping that you would be safe and healthy in the future. When she was going down the mountain, she was too tired and accidentally rolled down the mountain and hurt her leg. In order to be able to attend your birthday banquet in time, she did not dare to rest for too long."

"Rou Rou is truly filial to you, grandma. Please don't misunderstand her."

Shen Yanci looked at me as he spoke, motioning me to persuade grandma to say that she had misunderstood them and to praise Su Yurou's filial piety.

I couldn't help but sneer at what I saw. How humble was I before? How could he be so shameless?

Seeing that I didn't follow his instructions, Shen Yanci frowned, his eyes full of displeasure.

He came with good intentions to support her, but she still wanted to make trouble!

When my parents heard that their beloved child had fallen from the mountain, they were extremely worried and distressed.

Especially my dad. If Su Yurou hadn't repeatedly stated that she had already seen a doctor and it was nothing serious and she didn't need to see a doctor again, my dad would have rushed to the hospital with her in his arms.

After confirming that Su Yurou's injury was not serious, my parents looked at my grandmother with a look of relief, saying, "Mom, look how filial Rourou is!"

"Your precious granddaughter would not kowtow to you for your health and pray for amulets for your safety. She ignored her weak body since childhood and prayed for you, but you wrongly accused her and humiliated her without any reason!"

Although my parents really want Su Yurou and Shen Yanci to be together, they also know that as long as Shen Yanci and I are not divorced, no matter if they are childhood sweethearts or true lovers, it is not right for them to be together now.

So for the sake of Su Yurou's reputation, they told others that there was nothing going on between Su Yurou and Shen Yanci, and that they simply had a close relationship since childhood.

Those who came to grandma's banquet were all from wealthy families, and what wealthy families lacked most was true love.

Nanshan Temple is on the highest mountain here, so don't even think about bowing every step you take.

On a cable car, climbing just one section can be exhausting, but Su Yurou climbed up step by step, bowing her head for my grandma.

How filial and good a person must this child be?

Especially since this grandma is not my biological grandma.

For a while, everyone at the banquet was praising Su Yurou, and as they were praising her, some people even said that my grandmother was ungrateful.

Even her own granddaughter wouldn't worry so much about her, but an adopted granddaughter did. Not only did she not appreciate it, she also humiliated her indiscriminately.

Don't say that I didn't come with Shen Yanci. Even if I did, so what? The person I truly love can't come together?

In this world, as long as you are in a high enough position and have power and influence, whatever you do is right.

Extramarital affairs are not cheating, and the man is not a scumbag, but lovers who have been separated.

After hearing these words, grandma's face became even uglier.

The old lady knew very well what kind of person Su Yurou was, and she definitely did not really go there to ask for a talisman for her. However, Su Yurou really went there, and she was really hurt.

In this way, no matter whether she is sincere or not, in the eyes of outsiders, she is sincere and is a rare filial and good child.

Grandma has to accept her filial piety, otherwise she would be ignorant of good people and not a good elder.

Ever since Su Yurou came to my house, I have experienced too many things like this that I couldn't explain or fight back against.

I totally understand how my grandma feels right now.

Su Yurou has some skills that I really can't compare to.

"Grandma, this is the amulet I got for you. I wish you a long life and happiness as vast as the East Sea."

Su Yurou held the amulet she had asked for in both hands, and gave her grandmother her most sincere blessings.

She has the appearance of an innocent little white flower, which makes people instinctively think that she is a kind and gentle good girl. Her sincerity and genuineness make people think that she is a very good girl.

Grandma looked at the amulet that she handed over, and her face became more and more ugly. She didn't want to take it, but she had to.

I walked forward with a smile and took the amulet for grandma. "Sister, you are so thoughtful. Look, grandma is so happy that she can't speak."

My grandma, "..."

Everyone, "..."

"But, you know that people are saying that you and your brother-in-law are poor couples, and you don't let them help you with so many servants at home, but you let your brother-in-law help you. Don't just talk about grandma, ask everyone here, who didn't misunderstand you?"

"You really can't blame grandma for wrongly accusing you."

My grandmother said some of the things were inappropriate, but my wife, who has a bad reputation, said that there was absolutely no problem with them.

Su Yurou was stunned, as if she had not expected that when I saw her and Shen Yanci being so intimate this time, she not only did not lose her composure, but also did not lose control of herself out of sadness and distress.

And I can still fight back against her like this.

After Shen Yanci left that day, I was cleaning the house and found a diary in which I had written.

The diary is filled with the devastation and torture I felt after Su Yurou came back.

My adopted sister is always quick to react. She quickly came to her senses and apologized with red eyes, "I'm sorry, sister. I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to give the amulet to grandma as soon as possible and give her the most sincere blessings."

She is already a pitiful person, and with her red eyes, it makes people feel even more distressed.

My husband's face immediately darkened several shades, "Qiao Yi, I keep telling you that there is nothing going on between Rou Rou and me, why don't you believe me?"

"We grew up together. When I saw her getting hurt, couldn't I help her? Why do you always see things in such a dirty way?"

He scolded me so righteously, just like what I wrote in my diary.

He always protected Su Yurou so much, but he also always scolded me righteously, saying that there was nothing going on between him and Su Yurou, that there was nothing innocent between them and that they could not possibly be together, and told me not to have wild thoughts and not to see everything as dirty just because I had a dirty heart.

But am I dirty?

He won't be gentle to me, but he will be gentle to Su Yurou. He won't smile at me, but he will smile so sincerely to Su Yurou.

Between me and Su Yurou, he would choose Su Yurou again and again and abandon me.

Our wedding anniversary.

My birthday.

Valentine's Day.

When I'm sick.

He always chooses to stay with Su Yurou and leaves me behind.

I was very confused in the diary. I didn’t understand how he could be like this. How could he do everything that only lovers do with Su Yurou and yet at the same time say with a clear conscience that there was nothing between them?

She accused me of being mean-spirited and unreasonable, saying that I was vicious and petty-minded and couldn't tolerate my sister Su Yurou.

They have done all this, if this is not love, then what is?
