Qi Fenglian was truly aggrieved. Who had she provoked to deserve this? Ever since she found out Zhang Jisheng was dating through matchmaking, she no longer wanted to see him and had completely given up. Yet, he kept bothering her relentlessly, and now she was being insulted like this, accused of stealing someone elseâs husbandâhow ridiculous!
Who was really shameless here!
"Stop crying. This kind of shrew is just making a fuss over nothing. Youâre taking her seriously, and itâs not worth it!" Cheng Su handed over a stack of tissues and said.
"I know, Iâm just so mad. Isnât this a wrong accusation? Is Zhang Jisheng a âgolden lumpâ or a âgolden pineappleâ? Saying Iâm seducing him, how shameless!" Qi Fenglian exclaimed angrily.
"Just treat it as nonsense, would a rabid dog bite you back?" Cheng Su said, "Youâve said it before, the shrew matches the lazy man, theyâre made for each other. Letâs just let them have their own dog-eat-dog drama, lively and noisy!"
Qi Fenglian gave a small laugh, looked at the attic, but her face turned gloomy again, "Itâs just hard on the two kids."
"Donât talk about hardship. Give them your best upbringing, and theyâll know manners and sensibility. Besides, Xiao Yun is studying here now!" Cheng Su comforted with a few words.
Qi Fenglian nodded.
The sky turned dark, and Cheng Su took Xiao Yun home. All the way, the little girl was unusually silent, her face tightly drawn.
Cheng Su pulled her to sit on the sofa and asked, "Xiao Yun, do you have something on your mind?"
Xiao Yun said nothing.
Cheng Su took her hand and said, "Wonât you tell your aunt, wonât you share with me?"
Xiao Yun quickly shook her head, her eyes reddened, and tears flowed down, "I, I hate that woman of Dadâs. She took Dad away and broke up our family. I hate her so much!"
"Thatâs not it." Cheng Su gently wiped away her tears and said, "Dad and Mom parted because they donât have feelings for each other anymore, and that aunt got together with Dad afterwards. Xiao Yun shouldnât hate her. Adult emotions, Xiao Yun doesnât understand now, donât think about it."
Xiao Yun lowered her head.
"Hating someone is exhausting, and Aunt doesnât want Xiao Yun to be so tired. Dad and Mom are separated, living their own lives, and we should wish them happiness. Isnât that right? Because theyâre Xiao Yunâs parents, and that fact will never change!" Cheng Su continued.
Xiao Yun raised her head, seeming to understand a little, and nodded.
"Go take a bath. How about sleeping with Aunt tonight? Uncle isnât here, and Aunt is a bit scared!" Cheng Su deliberately said.
Xiao Yun immediately said, "Then Iâll sleep with you!"
Cheng Su smiled and nodded, patted her head, and sent her off to bathe.
She herself sat on the sofa, sighed deeply. Being a parent isnât easy, for such a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, in this confused adolescent rebellious phase. If it goes wrong, she could quickly go astray.
Now sheâs just acting as an aunt, and itâs so tiring to guide a child of this age. When it comes to her own children, wouldnât it require even more effort?
Speaking of children...
Cheng Su touched her abdomen. Qi Taiguo had gone on assignment again, and sheâd been at her hometown during her ovulation period. It seemed she would miss it again.
The thought of her future children hadnât even surfaced, yet she was already worrying about their teenage rebellious phase. Was she overthinking things!
Cheng Su laughed at her own thoughts, then saw the photo frame on the shelf, her and Qi Taiguoâs photo, picked it up, touched Qi Taiguoâs face, and murmured, "Are you okay? Is the assignment completed? Iâve been missing you!"
