After Miss Zhan became Mrs. Zhan

Sheng Wan was stunned at first: "More than a dozen peach trees have been picked?"

The servant nodded heavily, "Originally there were five trees left, but Miss Shen asked us to pick them all."

Sheng Wan frowned, not knowing what was going on.

She originally wanted to pick the yellow peaches and divide them into three batches, one batch to make canned yellow peaches, one batch to make yellow peach hibiscus cakes, and another batch to make yellow peach cream cakes, and then send them to nearby welfare homes and nursing homes.

Children and the elderly cannot eat things that are too hard, so these soft and sweet things are most suitable for them.

"How come they are all picked? Didn't I tell you not to touch these yellow peaches?" Sheng Wan was a little angry.

It was not because the servants did not listen to her, but because she had promised the children and the elderly to bring them delicious food.

Sheng Wan has never broken her promise to anyone since she was a child. She never thought of disappointing so many children who were eager for delicious food because of such a small matter.

The servant knew that Sheng Wan had a good temper, but now that his face looked so ugly, he must be angry.

The servant quickly explained, "Young Madam, it's really not us who want to pick them. It was Miss Shen Sui who asked us to pick all the peaches. She said that the back garden needed to be carefully decorated and the yellow color would be too abrupt, so she asked us to pick all the peaches."

When Sheng Wan heard the name Shen Sui, her originally angry eyes were tinged with a hint of surprise.

Shen Sui probably never thought of offending her by doing this, and he didn't take her seriously at all.

Shen Sui is a man with a deep mind. His mother's previous excessive behavior must have been instigated by Shen Sui.

Sheng Wan lowered her eyes and sighed deeply.

It's a disguise, and it will be exposed one day.

I hope my mother can now discern people’s true colors and stop trusting Shen Sui.

"Since the yellow peaches in the old house have been picked, we can go to the orchard in the suburbs of Beijing. There are also fresh yellow peaches there, which is not far from the old house. We won't have any unpleasantness over such a small matter."

Sheng Wan bit her lower lip. It didn’t matter if she felt sad. A harmonious family was the most important thing.

Li Chen is the illegitimate son of the Li family, not his mother's biological son. It is enough that she loves Li Chen so much.

If she told her mother some trivial matters, she would be upset, which would not be good for Li Chen or her.

Sheng Wan is just a daughter-in-law. She can only do things in the Li family and cannot complain.

The servant felt a little guilty when he saw Sheng Wan's red eyes. The young lady was bullied by an outsider and she couldn't say anything.

"Madam, I will tell the young master. He will definitely explain everything to Madam and will not let you suffer any injustice."

Sheng Wan smiled bitterly: "No, he is so busy at work, he doesn't need to worry about such a small matter."

Besides, even if she told Li Chen, he might not be able to support her.

Sheng Wan and Li Chen were betrothed to each other and originally had no feelings for each other. After being married to Li Chen for more than a year, the two of them had met only a handful of times.

But Sheng Wan is not the kind of woman who would just watch the clouds flow and the flowers fall when she encounters a little unhappiness.

She puts all her frustrations into cooking, making different little things every day, and then passes her happiness on to children and the elderly, which makes her very happy.

Li Chen devoted himself to his career. Although he was cold to her, he never treated her badly.

All of Li Chen's credit cards and bank cards were given to Sheng Wan for safekeeping. She would send an assistant to buy her small gifts every month, and would also hold a candlelight dinner for her on her birthday.

Although the man didn't come that night, Sheng Wan was so excited that she was about to cry.

Speaking of which, Sheng Wan and Li Chen had met before they got married, and more than once.

It seems that they have been attending the same school since junior high school, high school, and famous foreign universities.

We have met several times over the years.

However, Sheng Wan has a great reputation abroad, and her family background is enough to make her shine, while Li Chen is just an illegitimate child and is looked down upon by many people.

The first time Sheng Wan saw Li Chen was on the playground of Kyoto University's Affiliated High School. At that time, Li Chen was the school's gangster bully. He was tall, had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his fox eyes were affectionate and gentle, so he captured the hearts of many girls.

But for some reason, during the physical education class on Friday afternoon, Sheng Wan was surrounded by five girls at the door of the girls' restroom. One of the girls slapped Sheng Wan on the spot, spoke ill of her, and spread rumors that she seduced men.

Just as the five girls were punching and kicking her, Li Chen suddenly appeared like a prince charming from the sky, and chased the five girls away, one in each hand, like pulling chickens.

She remembered very clearly that Li Chen wore a black windbreaker that day, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, all his ruffian and coldness were washed away, leaving only a brave and fearless young boy.

Li Chen's face was scratched by the girls' nails and blood was dripping. He wiped the blood off with his fingertips and then looked at Sheng Wan cautiously.

His eyes were filled with guilt, and his voice was like the first ray of sunshine after the rain, warm enough to make one's heart flutter:

"Are you OK?"

Sheng Wan was stunned, her heart pounding, and she was completely unable to react to all this.

Then she was taken to the Academic Affairs Office by the teacher, along with Li Chen and five other girls.

Li Chen is a child of the Li family, so the teacher didn't make things difficult for him and let him go.

The five girls were expelled because Sheng Wan's uncle was the principal of the affiliated high school.

After Sheng Wan, Li Chen was never seen again.

The second time we met was at Harvard University's swimming pool. He was shirtless, revealing his strong chest muscles. His bronze muscles were full of power.

Li Chen jumped into the swimming pool in full view of everyone. At that time, Sheng Wan was teased by several foreign girls and was pushed into the swimming pool unexpectedly.

She happened to fall into Li Chen's arms...

"Young Madam, when do we set off?"

Sheng Wan's eyes were empty, her mind had long been dragged away by these past events.

"Young Madam? Did you hear me?" the servant reminded again.

Sheng Wan came back to her senses, her heart in turmoil. She panted slightly, and after a moment, she said in a gentle voice:

"Tomorrow, today is the first time my mother is hosting a banquet, so it will be very busy. I need to stay and accompany my mother."

The servant nodded and went about his business.

Sheng Wan returned to the villa. Wang Lin had just finished his work and went to find Zhan Ruoyin.

All Zhan Ruoyin does now is sleep and eat.

Sitting on the sofa, she started eating potato chips.

This scene made Sheng Wan and Wang Lin couldn't help but take a second look.

My mother never ate these puffed foods, let alone even looked at them.

Is it true that the older people get, the more childish they become?

Zhan Ruoyin found a suitable reason for herself to eat snacks: exercise can make people's thinking active, and she can think of ways to maintain family harmony.

"Mother, I'm here to accompany you." Sheng Wan smiled and walked to sit next to Zhan Ruoyin.

"Okay, do you know how to play Gobang? How about a game?"

Zhan Ruoyin likes Sheng Wan's personality very much, and she naturally accepts Sheng Wan's closeness.

Sheng Wan was stunned. Gobang?

Isn't this a puzzle game for children?

When did mother start liking to play this?

Sheng Wan knows how to play. After all, she goes to the welfare home every month to accompany the children, and she was the one who taught them how to play Go.

She smiled and said, "I only know a few rules, but I'm definitely not as proficient as my mother."

Zhan Ruoyin nodded. It was enough to know how to have fun. It was too difficult to find someone who was compatible with you to relieve your boredom.

After the Gobang chess pieces were placed on the coffee table and each of them placed a piece, Wang Lin began to report the situation:

"Madam, most of the guests have arrived. They have been invited by Butler Han to the back garden to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. Only the wife and young wife of the Zheng family and a few rich ladies have not come yet."

Zhan Ruoyin held the black piece and made another move. Without even raising his head, he said:

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Once everyone is here, the banquet will officially begin. Please make sure to take good care of every guest."

Wang Lin nodded, hesitating to speak.

"Madam, Miss Shen also invited Miss Qin to come, saying that they are classmates and friends, and they want to get together."

Sheng Wan paused, her eyes clear and bright as she looked at Wang Lin. After a moment, she lowered her eyes and continued playing chess as if nothing had happened.

Zhan Ruoyin frowned. Why didn't she remember any wealthy and famous people with the surname Qin? She asked curiously:

"Ms. Qin? Whose daughter is she?"

Wang Lin looked embarrassed. Shen Sui was too cunning. Was she afraid that the incident wouldn't be big enough?

She gritted her teeth and said,

"It's Qin Yunian."
