Chapter 1004: 240: Super protective of one’s close ones_3
“Okay!” Little Ni Yun imdiately reached out and hugged Shangguan Xi’s neck, “Sister Xiaoxi, Yunyun missed you so much!”
Little Ni Yun was at an age where she was sweet-tongued, charming everyone she saw, often bringing the family to laughter.
As Shangguan Xi played with Little Ni Yun, she asked the Mu Family’s old lady about Wu Yanyun, “So my parents have gone to Yanyun’s ho now?”
“Mhm,” the Mu Family’s old lady nodded, “Yangyang told them not to go, but your mom couldn’t wait any longer. She said she wanted to go and apologize to Yanyun in person.”
“Did Yangyang go as well?” Shangguan Xi questioned.
“Yangyang didn’t go. She had things to do in the city.”
After saying this, the Mu Family’s old lady continued, “Don’t just talk about them. What about you? How are things going with Zuo Ling? When are you two planning to break up?”
The Mu Family’s old lady dreamt of Shangguan Xi breaking up with Zuo Ling.
“Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about! Zuo Ling and I are doing great! How could we possibly break up?”
“With such a complex family that favors sons over daughters, you’ll regret it soday if you don’t break up!” the Mu Family’s old lady declared.
Hearing this, Shangguan Xi smiled, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I have already figured out Zuo Ling’s family situation. The reason Zuo Ling has seven sisters is not because of preferring sons over daughters—it’s because his parents like a bustling household, which led them to have several children. Besides, after Zuo Ling, his mother was pregnant again…”
Shangguan Xi truly trusted Zuo Ling, so she took his words as the absolute truth.
“How can you be sure Zuo Ling isn’t deceiving you?” the Mu Family’s old lady looked at Shangguan Xi.
Only Shangguan Xi would believe such tall tales.
How many won in this world would give birth to eight children just because they like a bustling household?
Shangguan Xi firmly said, “No! Zuo Ling would never deceive !”
The Mu Family’s old lady sighed again, “Xiaoxi, you are too naïve!”
“Don’t worry, Grandma. I promise you that Zuo Ling is not that kind of person! Moreover, Zuo Ling has assured that if we really stay together, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, we only want one child! Zuo Ling is also very open-minded and can even accept not having children!” As she finished speaking, Shangguan Xi turned to Little Ni Yun, “Yunyun, don’t you think Sister Xiaoxi is right?”
“Yes, yes!” Little Ni Yun nodded vigorously in agreent.
“You little girl, what do you know?” the Mu Family’s old lady said with a chuckle as she poked Little Ni Yun on the forehead.
Little Ni Yun earnestly replied, “I know! I understand very well!”
The Mu Family’s old lady turned serious, “Xiaoxi, if you don’t trust , you should at least trust Yangyang’s judgnt. Even Yangyang thinks that Zuo Ling is unreliable.”
Shangguan Xi nodded, “I know, Grandma. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be fooled by anyone.”
…
anwhile, at the Wu Family.
Yan Erju warmly welcod Ni Cuihua, Shangguan Dehui, and the elder Mr. and Mrs. Zheng.
“Uncle, Aunt, please have so tea,” Yan Erju set the tea on the table, “Brother-in-law and Tingting, you have so too.”
“Thank you, Sister Erju,” Ni Cuihua said with tears in her eyes, “Sister Erju, can we, may we see Yanyun?”
Yan Erju nodded, “I’ll go call her. Please wait a mont.”
Since the night before, Wu Yanyun had locked herself in her bedroom and had not co out. With the door locked from the inside, Yan Erju had no choice but to knock, “Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun.”
She called out many tis without a response. Sighing, Yan Erju spoke softly, “Xiaoyun, why are you so stubborn? It wasn’t Yangyang’s mom who abandoned you. With such a mother-in-law, she had no choice. She’s just as much a victim of fate as your mother. When your grandma wanted to sell you, I was powerless too. Have you forgotten all this…”
Just as Yan Erju was about to give up, the door opened.
Wu Yanyun was no longer as agitated as the day before and spoke calmly, “Mom, do you believe everything they say? Since the Mu Family’s old lady is already dead, there’s no one left to verify the truth. They can say whatever they want!”
Yan Erju replied, “Xiaoyun, it’s not right to think like that. I don’t think Yangyang’s mom is the kind of person who would lie.”
“To abandon one’s own child is nothing; what would lying be to her?” Wu Yanyun’s mouth twisted with sarcasm. “She said I was abandoned by the Mu Family’s old lady, well, I could also say she abused the Mu Family’s elderly!”
What couldn’t a person who could abandon their own child be capable of doing?
