Chapter 63: Chapter 62 Mom, Take Me With You Too Chapter 63: Chapter 62 Mom, Take Me With You Too Hearing Wenyanâs heartfelt thoughts, Su Yangâs heart nearly melted, and she even felt a twinge of guilt.
Because she had been talking to Zhirou, she hadnât had any time to attend to Wenyan, who had just flown back from the mountains.
Yet this child harbored not a single complaint, instead praising her motherâs goodness.
Su Yang only wished she could clone herself so that she could dedicate one clone to comfort Wenyan.
Fortunately, her husband shared a telepathic connection with her.
Shen Yuan seemed to know exactly what Su Yang was thinking and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Wenyan.
âYanyan, how has the filming been these past two months, are you getting used to the camera now?â
âAt first, I was a bit uncomfortable, but I gradually caught on to the essence. My role isnât very big, but the director is very strict, and Iâve learned a lot from this opportunity.â
âWithout accumulating small streams, there can be no rivers or seas. Keep gathering your experiences; you will surely succeed.â
âMm, thank you, dad, for the encouragement!â
[Hahaha, so this is how the imposing Mr. Shen encourages peopleâitâs got a serious and sincere vibe.]
Shen Yuan silently stroked his chin.
He could do nothing about his serious face; it was a family trait inherited from the childrenâs grandfather and great-grandfather.
â
After dinner, Shen Yuan went to his study.
In the living room, only Wenyan, Su Yang, and Shen Zhirou remained.
Wenyan was actually very tired and in dire need of resting in her room.
But just as she was about to speak up and leave, Su Yang suddenly brought up the topic of Shen Zhirouâs foster parents.
âBy the way, Zhirou, how is your foster mother doing, and when is her surgery planned? Should I discuss it with your father and get her transferred to a better hospital?â
As soon as Wenyan heard Su Yang say this, she understood.
It turned out that Zhirou had come back early because of her foster motherâs illness.
But she couldnât help thinking Zhirou was being irrational.
Instead of staying by her sick motherâs bedside, she had run back home to rummage through her room.
Wenyan couldnât fathom what Shen Zhirou was harboring in her mind or what schemes she was plotting!
Shen Zhirou promptly replied to Su Yang,
âThanks, mom, but you donât need to go through the trouble for dad and me. Indeed, the hospital is planning to change, but they donât plan to look domestically. I understand from my foster father that they intend to go abroad for neurosurgery, where the technology is more advanced.â
âGoing abroad? Doesnât that require scheduling way in advance? How come you never mentioned it before? The healthcare system abroad is different from ours.â
âOh, Iâve just heard it recently from my foster father, who mentioned that we have relatives abroad, so arranging the surgery time wonât be an issue.â
Su Yang nodded, âYour foster parents havenât had an easy time over these years. Are they experiencing financial difficulties? If so, I can offer help.â
âNo need, mom!â Shen Zhirou quickly declined, âThey have their savings, which can cover the expenses. In fact, my foster parents made it clear, they expressly told me not to take money from the family to subsidize them. They are afraid of putting me in a difficult position, but actually, no one in this family would ever make things difficult for me because my family has always been very kind to me!â
Zhirouâs eyes reddened as she spoke.
Su Yang was easily moved to tears, and seeing her daughter like this, coupled with thoughts of her ten years of drifting outside, tears immediately came to her eyes.
She had never doubted Shen Zhirou.
But Wenyan couldnât help questioning whether everything she and Su Yang witnessed was just an act by Shen Zhirou.
She silently pulled out two tissues and handed one each to Su Yang and Shen Zhirou.
Su Yang calmly took it.
Shen Zhirouâs face changed. Her tears hadnât even fallen yet, and that bitch Wenyan was stirring up trouble by offering tissues!
What was her business here? Why hadnât she gotten lost yet!!!
Wenyan couldnât know what Shen Zhirou was thinking. If she did, she would definitely make a ghost face at Shen Zhirou, stick out her tongue, and tease her with a âluluâ.
But the more Shen Zhirou bragged, the more interested Wenyan became in her parents.
She decided to stir up some trouble.
âMom, if thatâs the case, why donât our family take some time to visit Auntie? I heard she was sick and hospitalized during your birthday, but it seems our family hasnât visited her yet.â
âRight,â Su Yang frowned, âI had planned to visit after the birthday, but there was an issue with a design at the studio, and I forgot about it during the busy period. I didnât expect her condition to worsen. ZhirouâŠâ
Su Yang turned to Shen Zhirou: âThen you make the arrangements, the sooner the better, preferably in the next few days. Inform your foster parents; your dad and I would like to visit your foster mother as well.â
Shen Zhirou had no reason to refuse, both emotionally and logically.
So she agreed: âOkay, then Iâll call my foster father in a while. But mom, is your schedule convenient?â
âThe patient comes first, my schedule is relatively flexible and easy to arrange.â
Shen Zhirou nodded: âOkay, then.â
Immediately afterward, Wenyan spoke up: âTake me with you too, Zhirou. I also want to show Auntie our familyâs concern.â
Wenyan then looked at Su Yang:
âMom, I want to go too! Just now, Zhirou mentioned Uncle and Auntie were worried about her being uncomfortable at home, right? In all these years since Zhirouâs return, Uncle and Auntie have never visited our home, they donât even know what our family atmosphere is like.
âIf I go this time, theyâll see how good the sisterly relationship is between Zhirou and me, and it might relieve Auntieâs worries when she goes abroad for surgery. Zhirou, am I right?â
Having said that, Wenyan took the initiative to grab Shen Zhirouâs hand.
She was even thinking to herself about taking on a role as a hypocritical âgreen teaâ character in her next play.
After all, she seemed to have a talent for playing the âgreen teaâ role.
Whether or not Wenyan could land a âgreen teaâ role was still uncertain, but Shen Zhirouâs complexion had turned truly green.
Regrettably, it was all Wenyanâs good intentions, and she found no reason to refuse.
So Shen Zhirou had no choice but to swallow her anger.
âYes, we are good sisters.â
âMm!â Wenyan smiled, âThen go make the call now, the sooner we settle this the better, donât you think?â
With a forced smile, Shen Zhirou replied: âOkay, then Iâll go make a phone call.â
Two minutes later.
Shen Zhirou came back: âMom, how about we schedule it for the morning the day after tomorrow? Is that okay?â
âThatâs fine, I donât have anything important the day after tomorrow. But we might need to double-check with your dadâs schedule, after all, itâs a weekday. Yanyan, are you free that day?â
âI am! Iâm currently unemployed, lacking everything except time.â
For the next two days, Shen Zhirou went out early and returned late, claiming she was taking care of her foster mother in the hospital.
Only on the third morning did she appear at the Shen Familyâs dining table.
Shen Yuan was unable to make it to the hospital due to an important schedule conflict.
In a while, only the three of them would go.
Just as they got in the car and were about to leave, Wenyanâs mobile phone began to beep incessantlyâŠ
