Chapter 661 It is really important to have a sensible woman
In fact, the two had met several times. They met when the tavern opened and when Li Zhenmin and Yuan Qinghe got married, but Yuan Yongchang did not pay special attention to Shen Wenyin and had no impression of these things.
However, after Shen Wenyin said this, Yuan Yongchang also nodded politely and smiled.
Yuan Qinghe heard the noise outside and came over to check. When she saw Shen Wenyin coming, her pretty face suddenly became stiff, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Shen Wenyin was also more nervous than ever before, but compared to Yuan Qinghe, she had already prepared herself mentally, so she quickly suppressed her embarrassment and greeted politely with a smile: "Sister Qinghe, long time no see."
"Hello...long time no see." Yuan Qinghe responded unexpectedly.
Yuan Yongchang quickly changed the subject and said, "Please sit inside. Don't stand at the door."
Yuan Yongchang took a special leave today. In fact, he had something to say to Li Zhenmin, but at this moment he found that he didn't know how to say the words he had thought of long ago. It seemed that everything was unnecessary.
A group of people entered the house.
Xiang Aimei poured hot water for everyone.
Li Zhenmin thought for a moment and then said directly, "I went back last night and talked to Wen Yin about the house transfer. I came over today while I had some free time to get it done. It would be more convenient for you to move in before the New Year."
Shen Wenyin took the initiative to continue, "Xiangdong is also Zhenmin's child. No matter what happens, this will not change. Master, Master's wife, and Sister Qinghe, you don't have to feel that there is anything wrong. This is what we should do. Even if Zhenmin doesn't do this, I will do it."
Seeing that Shen Wenyin behaved naturally and did not seem to be pretending to be generous and tolerant, Yuan Yongchang and Xiang Aimei felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, knowing that their daughter had too few advantages.
Like her parents, Yuan Qinghe couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
However, this feeling soon passed. After all, everything seemed reasonable. If Shen Wenyin was not outstanding, how could she have caught Li Zhenmin's eye?
Yuan Qinghe knew Li Zhenmin's standards for choosing a partner better than anyone else. To be precise, she actually took advantage of her first love. If Li Zhenmin and Shen Wenyin had known each other first, and if Shen Wenyin had no children, she might not have been able to be with Li Zhenmin.
child...
When Yuan Qinghe thought of this, she suddenly thought of Shen Wenyin's child, named Xiaoguang.
She suddenly showed hesitation on her face, and replied with an unnatural smile, "Forget it... I'll start working after the New Year, and I'll be allocated a house then. My parents still have some savings, so even if we don't get the old house back, we can buy another one."
Li Zhenmin retorted without much thought: "Chenglin needs to start a family in the future, and Xiangdong needs to start a family too. He can't always live in the company housing you got after you started working."
Chenglin is Yuan Yongchang's youngest son and Yuan Qinghe's younger brother.
Yuan Qinghe didn't think much about it and replied, "Chenglin is studying abroad and may not come back in the future. Even if he does, he will work and have a house. Xiangdong will also work and have a house. You don't have to worry about that. Besides, Xiangdong may not stay in China..."
It was almost a subconscious answer, without any thought, and under the nervousness, I accidentally said some of my true feelings.
It was too late when Yuan Qinghe realized it.
Li Zhenmin opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Yongchang and Xiang Aimei. Seeing that they were also stunned, his face turned cold and his eyes showed more helplessness and entanglement.
Yuan Qinghe knew that the words had already been spoken and was too lazy to explain. She had done nothing wrong anyway.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
A moment later, just when the atmosphere was tense and everyone in the room wanted to change the subject, Li Zhenmin said in a deep voice, "No matter where Xiangdong goes in the future, I must leave him a house. He can't stay abroad forever, so multiple residences are necessary!"
Yuan Qinghe was immediately irritated by Li Zhenmin's attitude and questioned, "You say whatever you want? Don't you consider our feelings? Don't you consider Xiaoguang's feelings? And Qingshan and Xuenan, they are also your children. Did you ask for their opinions before doing this?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Is this the reason...
Li Zhenmin opened his mouth slightly, then quickly came to his senses and said firmly: "They are my children. Isn't Xiangdong my child? Do you want Xiangdong to hate me forever?"
"I, I didn't mean that..." Yuan Qinghe wanted to explain, but didn't know how to express it for a moment.
Because of this, the atmosphere in the room became even heavier.
At this time, Shen Wenyin reacted the fastest. Unlike Li Zhenmin, she didn't think directly. She heard a different meaning in Yuan Qinghe's words...
She soon understood and immediately stopped Li Zhenmin from retorting: "What's your attitude? Are you going to have a fight?"
Then she looked at Yuan Qinghe and the others, sighed, and said slowly: "You all have your own reasons, why not listen to my advice."
"It's like this. Xiaoguang knows about this, and he's in favor of it. You might think that as a child, he'd probably have objections to having a brother to share resources with, but you really don't have to worry about that. Firstly, Zhenmin still has some abilities, and I'll be back to work after the New Year, so I won't burden the child in this regard. Secondly, Xiaoguang isn't that kind of person. In fact, he's even more... self-conscious than you think..."
Then Shen Wenyin told the story of how Xiaoguang was not her biological son, from beginning to end, like a story.
They also talked about Li Zhenmin's condition in the years after Yuan Qinghe left, as well as a series of events that followed, and finally talked about the trivial matters of Li Xuenan and Li Qingshan.
She was the only one talking the whole time, and everyone else was listening quietly, not noticing that the topic had gradually shifted away from the previous discussion about the house.
As they listened, the atmosphere in the room gradually became more relaxed.
Yuan Yongchang and Xiang Aimei looked guilty. Compared with what Li Zhenmin had gone through over the years, their days abroad didn't seem so difficult.
Especially Yuan Qinghe, although she had already inquired about Li Zhenmin's affairs, she did not know as much as Shen Wenyin did. Especially when she heard about the many things that Li Zhenmin had done in isolation from the world in those years, she couldn't help but tear up.
"Sister Qinghe, no one knows Zhenmin's feelings for you over the years better than me. To be honest, the moment I learned you were back, I had already made up my mind to leave."
Shen Wenyin seemed to relax gradually as she spoke, and said calmly, "But after considering all aspects, I gave up this idea."
