Hearing these gossips, Huang Bin tightly gripped the wheelchair armrests with both hands. His knuckles turned white from excessive force, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged as if they were about to break through the restraints of the skin.
In the distance, Shen Wufan, with a grim face, grabbed his sister's hand and dragged her into the house until she disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Don't you know what day it is today? Why do you have to make your mother unhappy?"
Don't be fooled by Mrs. Shen's peaceful appearance. In fact, she is a person who cares a lot about face.
This birthday party was planned a month ago.
The items displayed in the house and every plant and tree in the yard have all been carefully cared for and repaired.
Originally, Old Mrs. Shen was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Meng Zhiwei and his son could not come to the birthday party, but she finally stopped making a fuss after being coaxed by Song Hui for a long time.
I thought it would be better if he didn't come, and if he did, he would be annoying, so it's better to out of sight and out of mind.
Now that it was brought up again, the old lady was naturally unhappy and even felt humiliated.
Shen Xiu lowered her head and stammered, trying to explain, but Shen Wufan didn't give her a chance to speak.
He continued to scold him.
"I really don't know what's going on in your head. You leave your own son alone and pick up someone else's son like he's a treasure!"
"He's a cripple, but he came all the way here just for you, fearing that you'd be wronged in the Shen family."
"Ask yourself, have we ever done anything wrong?"
"You've been the only one feeling wronged all this time, haven't you? When you left without a second thought, did you ever think about how to clean up the mess? Did you ever think about what your parents had to endure in order to appease the Li family's wrath?"
The Li family has an only son named Li Tongguang, who is a classmate and good friend of Shen Zimo. He has also been in love with Shen Xiu for many years. The two are childhood sweethearts and are a perfect match.
Li Tongguang's father holds a high position, so their marriage can be said to be beneficial to the Shen family in every way.
Especially for Shen Zimo's career.
result.
No one would have thought that Shen Xiu, who had been well-educated, quiet and docile since childhood, would elope with someone.
Li Tongguang even compromised and said that as long as Shen Xiu was willing to come back, he would still be willing to marry her.
Unfortunately, the flowing water has intentions, but the falling flowers are ruthless.
Shen Xiu was determined to marry Meng Zhiwei, and was even willing to damage her own reputation in order to resist the marriage.
In order to appease the Li family's anger, Mr. Shen went to apologize in person, but fell ill shortly afterwards.
The Li family did not pursue any further matters, but the relationship between the Li and Shen families was completely broken.
Fortunately, Li Tongguang was an upright person and did not vent his anger on Shen Zimo. Although the two did not become "uncle-in-law", their friendship as classmates remained.
Shen Zimo held a grudge against his sister Shen Xiu for this.
After Mr. Shen passed away, Mrs. Shen cherished the family's ability to be together more and more. Although she was angry with Shen Xiu, after all, she was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.
The older you get, the more you long for your children to be around you.
Only then did Shen Xiu have the opportunity to go home.
The elder sister's words were like iron nails, deeply piercing Shen Xiu's spine.
She took a deep breath and slowly raised her red eyes, "Sister, if you were given a chance, would you rather Cheng'er come back to you, or would you rather marry someone you don't love for the sake of the Shen family and Shen Zimo's future!"
This question obviously stumped Shen Wufan.
She rejected it coldly: "There is no such if!"
"Because you can't give up your daughter, right?"
Shen Xiu laughed, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Maybe I have let my parents down, but I have never done anything to let you down. You are just my sister. I am not a puppet that you can manipulate in your life!"
Shen Wufan was furious. "Shen Xiu! What do you mean by that? Do you think I have no right to control you?"
"An elder sister is like a mother! No matter what, I have the right to teach my younger sister a lesson!"
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open with a bang, and a gust of cold wind brought a beautiful figure in.
"What a great elder sister who is like a mother!"
Lin Ziqiu's voice was cold, as if carrying an invisible deterrent force, which made Shen Wufan shudder.
Following behind her were Tian Xiaofeng and Song Hui.
Song Hui didn't seem to stop her, and looked a little anxious. "Aunt, today is grandma's birthday party. We can talk about it later if there's anything. Don't let the guests outside laugh at you."
Shen Wufan also reacted and didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, she hadn't had time to recognize her granddaughter Lin Ziqiu.
"Forget it, let's go out and eat first." She glanced at Shen Xiu, "Behave yourself and stay by your mother's side. Don't run around anymore."
As soon as the words fell, a cold arc appeared on the corner of Lin Ziqiu's mouth. Instead of anger, he smiled and said, "Keep talking. Weren't you quite excited just now?"
"Let me hear what my Aunt Shen did wrong. She's old, but she still has to be scolded and treated unfairly by her elder sister in her own family home."
Song Hui reached out and pulled Lin Ziqiu, his voice filled with flattery and negotiation, "Xiaoqiu, I know you are also worried about my aunt. Even if you want to stand up for her, you should ask her what she thinks."
As he spoke, he reminded Shen Xiu, "Aunt, Grandma has a bad heart. You certainly don't want her to be troubled by these things on a day like today."
Shen Xiu clenched her fists and couldn't stop crying. She understood the implication of Song Hui's words.
But, she is a human being!
She also has a good heart!
Why, it seems like it's always her fault.
Lin Ziqiu didn't take it seriously and smiled. "Heart disease? What a coincidence! My Ah Qing happens to be quite accomplished in this area. For Aunt Shen's sake, Ah Qing might be able to help her with it."
After she finished speaking, she walked to Shen Xiu's side and gently wiped the tears from her face. "Aunt Shen, don't be afraid. If you have any grievances, tell me everything today. If they don't give you justice, I will!"
Shen Xiu's eyes were red. She had never thought that there would be someone who, even though she hadn't said anything, could understand her grievances and even stand up to support her at all costs.
Outside the door, Song Qiao was chasing Song Hui.
Hearing Lin Ziqiu's words, he felt furious.
She had to behave herself cautiously in both the Shen and Song families, fearing that she might do something wrong and displease her family, so she lived her life in fear.
How could Lin Ziqiu be so confident?
Dare to talk back to your mother!?
"Lin Ziqiu! Don't go too far! No matter what, this is our Shen family's family affair! You're just a cook, don't you realize your status? You're treating something so unpresentable as if it's a dish!"
"you shut up!"
"you shut up!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
From Shen Wufan and Song Hui.
Song Qiao took a few steps back in disbelief, biting her lip, confused, "Mom! Did I say something wrong?"
