Chapter 235: Chapter 143: Heartbroken / Stirring Up Trouble
Wen Ke poked Wen Nan on the back of the head with a finger: "Hey, Little Pumpkin, there’s no need to flatter Ye’er in such a way, I’m your real sister after all!"
"It’s not flattery, I’m just stating the facts. Can a silly, kind child possess Ye’er’s skills, her ability to handle emergencies, and her future aspirations?"
"Little Pumpkin, explain this to me, what does this have to do with anything?" Wen Ke said as she pulled Wen Nan over to her side, draping an arm each around Luo Ye and Wen Nan.
"Sister, you’re really naive thinking that. A calm mind, exceptional skills, a daring dream which others fear to even think, and also, think back to the times we practiced with Brother Yu. Do you understand now?"
Wen Ke rolled her eyes: "What are you even talking about!"
"Wen, you’re really not as smart as Little Pumpkin." Wen Yan turned and patted Wen Nan on the head: "Pumpkin, that aircraft carrier model you wanted, it’s yours."
"Thank you, big brother." Wen Nan quickly pulled away from Wen Ke and clung to Wen Yan’s side.
"Brat!" Wen Ke tightened her grip on Luo Ye’s arm: "I actually understood already, just wanted to test that kid a bit."
"That’s right, Sister is so smart." A smile filled Luo Ye’s eyes as he looked down, Wen Ke seemed still confused, it was just her unwillingness to lose to her brother. Little Pumpkin indeed had a knack for observing.
Yu Miao stood there, somewhat uncertain; chasing after seemed like a poor choice, but to give up like this, she wasn’t willing.
Being married to Wen Tong for so many years, love had firmly rooted in her heart. But since childhood, she was taught that her family should come first, so ever since her marriage, she has always updated her family about the Wen Family’s affairs.
About the miscarriage, Wen Tong had always shown pity towards her, so even though she couldn’t have children, he never despised her. This time, if she hadn’t behaved too coldly at her aunt’s, probably Wen Tong wouldn’t have been this decisive.
But she didn’t really care for her aunt’s family, plus the pressure from the Ye Family’s matters made it really difficult for her to get close to the Luo Family. No, she understood Wen Tong too well, if she went back now, if she didn’t make an effort in front of his sister, she might truly lose him. With these thoughts, she hurriedly ran after the group leaving the cemetery.
"Wen Tong, it’s my fault, please forgive me. I promise I won’t reveal anything about the Wen Family to my family ever again, really. And just the other day, a friend introduced me to Mr. Pan, a well-known doctor from a medical family, who prescribed me medicine, saying my condition can be treated.
Wen Tong, we will definitely have our own beautiful baby, and then I will focus on taking care of our child at home and won’t interfere with your work anymore. Is that okay?"
Wen Tong glanced indifferently at Yu Miao as she suddenly ran over and knelt before him, helping Wen Xin to sidestep, but Yu Miao quickly knelt in front of Wen Xin and grabbed her legs: "Sister, it was all my fault before, I shouldn’t have deliberately neglected your family for my own family issues. I realize my mistake now, please give me a chance to make amends. See my actions from now on, Sister, please help me, I really love Wen Tong, I’m begging you!"
"Yu Miao, get up quickly, a lot of people are watching us here, if they start spreading rumors, who knows what they might say, hurry up!" Wen Xin said while pulling Yu Miao up and glaring at her brother: "Xiao Tong!"
"Yu Miao, come with me." Wen Tong walked towards a secluded path on the right, and with a joyful expression, Yu Miao quickly got up and followed him.
"I mean, is Uncle really going to forgive her again? That’s so disappointing. If Uncle forgives her again this time, I won’t speak to Uncle anymore!" Wen Ke angrily pouted.
"Uncle has his own considerations; us younger ones shouldn’t meddle." Wen Yan stepped forward to Wen Xin’s side: "Aunt, Uncle, let’s get in the car first."
"Alright." Wen Xin glanced worriedly at her brother’s retreating figure and headed towards the parking area.
...
When Yu Miao returned home, Mr. Yu was comfortably half-reclining in the Taishi Chair, enjoying Beijing opera, while Old Mrs. Yu was wearing reading glasses, engrossed in a book. Her niece Yu Na and nephew Yu Hang were playing chess.
Old Mrs. Yu was the first to notice her daughter coming back, removing her glasses with a smile: "Miaomiao, why are you back again? Didn’t I tell you to stay with the Wen Family? Was it because Wen Tong was harsh and you threw a tantrum again? You’re so grown-up, how can you still be so thoughtless?"
Tears streamed down Yu Miao’s face: "Mom, you should ask Dad this question, does he even treat me as his own daughter? What is my happiness worth to him?"
