She did it on purpose.
Because she had overheard Ye Jin’s words right after stepping out of the elevator, she couldn’t resist splashing her.
It’s been a long ti since my family’s lucky dog had anything nice to eat; today, I’ll bestow my sister’s unwanted stuff upon it.
This sentence was clearly a jab at Wen Wan.
What gives a howrecker the right to say sothing like this?
Watching Ye Jin hurry into the public restroom, Shen Cheng slightly narrowed her eyes before turning and walking into the hospital room.
Without waiting for Wen Wan to ask her anything, she said: "Mother-in-law, your tolerance towards her is because you’re magnanimous, but I’ve never been magnanimous. When I dislike soone, I want them to suffer. Today it’s bird’s nest soup; tomorrow it could be boiling water; the day after, poison; and the next day, sulfuric acid."
After she spoke, Wen Wan laughed: "Why bother getting angry over an irrelevant person?"
Shen Cheng began peeling an apple, and while peeling, she said, "I’m not angry with her because she’s not worthy."
As she spoke, she paused, then after finishing peeling the apple, she raised her head to look at Wen Wan, "I’m upset on your behalf."
"There’s nothing to feel sorry about. Chengzi, so things are in the past, and should be let go. What’s not mine cannot be forced."
"You haven’t let go," Shen Cheng suddenly said.
Without waiting for Wen Wan to respond, she added, "I know what yesterday was."
Wen Wan acted surprised, yet her voice remained calm: "You know?"
Shen Cheng slightly curled the corners of her lips, "It was the anniversary of the divorce, right?"
A few years ago, Wen Wan and Shi Yaoguang’s divorce date was yesterday. She had found out about it just last night before going to sleep.
She really hasn’t moved on, has she?
Otherwise, why would she drink herself to the point of stomach bleeding, regardless of her health?
Wen Wan let out a sigh and fell silent.
Her silence ant acquiescence.
After finishing peeling the apple, Shen Cheng, rembering that Wen Wan shouldn’t eat raw fruit in her current condition, set the apple aside.
"If it were , I wouldn’t be able to let it go, either."
Shen Cheng wasn’t trying to comfort her but felt that if even a dog can inspire affection, then all the more for soone you’ve lived with for decades.
Wen Wan didn’t say anything further. In this matter, perhaps she found no excuse for denial.
After Ye Jin cleaned the substance off her body in the restroom, she ca out and stood by the elevator.
Ding—
The elevator reached the floor and the doors slowly opened.
People stepped out of the elevator one after another; among them was Shi Keke.
She had one hand in her bag and the other holding a cell phone to her ear, talking to soone.
Ye Jin didn’t want anyone to see her in her current state, so she thought about avoiding her.
But Shi Keke noticed her, said to the person on the phone "Let’s just leave it at that," and hung up.
"Young Aunt?"
Her voice carried a hint of surprise.
The woman in front of her had ssy, damp hair and looked disheveled, a far cry from the usual high-and-mighty Madam Shi.
If not for her dress and makeup, Shi Keke might have thought she had mistaken soone else for her.
"Keke," Ye Jin stood at the elevator entrance, giving her an embarrassed smile, "Look at , I wasn’t paying attention while washing my hands and got water splashed all over myself. It’s terrible, isn’t it?"
"Oh, is that so," Shi Ke replied with sudden realization, then looked her up and down, "Actually, it’s not too terrible, it’s just..."
She drew out her tone, and after a while added, "Your clothes are kind of see-through."
Before Ye Jin could say anything, she continued: "Young Aunt, you should hurry back and change."
