And so Wan'er came, arriving very quickly.

However, after she arrived, Shi Youxuan did not bring up the matter of the pasta, but instead handed her a folder: "You've come at the right time, help me look at this, I don't understand it."

Wan'er opened the folder and scanned it a few times; she could understand it, as it contained corporate dispute cases, but being able to understand it was useless.

She said: "Sister, you are making things difficult for me; it has been so many years since I worked as a Lüshi. Besides, laws and regulations are often adjusted, and Brother-in-law's company has a top-tier legal team, let them look at it."

Shi Youxuan said: "Of course there is a legal team, but this matter is very sensitive, so I thought I would let you look at it first, who knew you would be useless too."

Wan'er:...

These words were said far too bluntly.

So she retorted: "If you are so capable, why look for me? If you are useful, you do it."

Shi Youxuan replied righteously: "I am not a law major, I didn't even go to university, how would I know? Weren't you a famous Lüshi back then? How can you not even handle this little thing?"

Wan'er was unconvinced: "I haven't touched these things for decades, and studying them back then wasn't my wish either; it was the wish of my grandparents. Although I had some achievements back then, I didn't like it, and I haven't looked at it since."

Shi Youxuan said: "Oh, so if the wishes of the elders do not align with one's own heart, it won't last. You understand everything, so why are you still forcing your daughters to do things they don't like?"

Wan'er glared at her: Whose side are you on anyway?

"I knew it wasn't that simple when you called me here. If they hadn't gone to dig tunnels, I wouldn't have insisted on them changing their majors. The children misunderstand me; you know what kind of person I am, don't you?"

"They have been naughty and mischievous since they were little, even more so than boys. You don't know how worried I am, I'm just afraid, afraid that they will take after the Ji Family. As it turns out, these few troublesome ones are exactly like the Ji Family. What am I supposed to do?"

Shi Youxuan comforted her: "Being like the Ji Family isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least they won't be bullied."

Wan'er said: "They won't be bullied, but it's also easy for them to not get married. You say they are all like tyrants, can their future marriages be happy?"

Shi Youxuan said: "You are just overthinking. If you want them to be happy, don't force them to do or not do things. Touch your own heart and ask yourself, the things I liked years ago that didn't come to fruition, do I have regrets now?"

"You should know your own daughters; the more you don't let them do something, the more they want to do it. Doing this not only has no effect, but it will also be counterproductive."

Wan'er stopped talking, her hands twisted together; she had taken her sister's words to heart.

The triplets were not wrong; no one else would do, only the words of their eldest aunt Shi Youxuan could possibly be heard by their mother.

Shi Youxuan continued: "You have hit a dead end. What you want most is for the children to be happy, so don't make them follow your wishes in everything. If they live like you, they won't be happy, because their personalities are different, and the things they pursue are different."

Parents are not the prequel to their children, and children are not the sequel to their parents.

A parent's regrets or hopes should not be forced upon their children; everyone is an independent individual and has the right to decide the direction of their own life!

She even used the thing Wan'er was most worried about as an example.

Wan'er was worried that the triplets would have the same fate as the Ji Family, but what was wrong with the Ji Family?

They lived their whole lives willfully and unrestrainedly, regardless of how others looked at them; in any case, they were very happy themselves!

Shi Youxuan also told Wan'er to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details, especially with children this old.

They didn't listen to you when they were little, and it's even more impossible for them to listen to you in everything when they are grown up. What is there to be angry about?

Even if you are angered to death, they won't change; it has no meaning.

These words were piercing, but they were every bit the truth; such is the fact.

Wan'er left her sister's house and never mentioned the matter of having her daughters change majors again. Later, the daughters' requests to restore their friend status were also approved, and everyone tacitly stopped mentioning this matter; a menacing storm was thus resolved.

It was Zichen's birthday. This year, his parents acted contrary to their usual behavior and actually set up two tables of banquet at a large hotel to celebrate his birthday in person.

Gu Yuxin was a bit flattered. She said to her boyfriend: "Your parents really value you, but will this be bad? After all, when others had birthdays, Uncle and Auntie were never as grand as they are today."

Sheng Zichen said: "It is a bit bad, but it's not that others are bad. I have a bad premonition; I feel that Mom and Dad are going to set me up, especially my mom."

Gu Yuxin:...

"That's impossible, right? How could they? Uncle and Auntie are both very good people."

"Good to you, but not necessarily to their own biological child."

The people who know children best are their parents; by the same token, children are often the ones who know their own parents best.

His parents never celebrated the children's birthdays; making it so grand and with such fanfare today definitely meant no good.

Perhaps they were just going to set him up.

This premonition became stronger and stronger, and the facts proved that he was right!

During the banquet, his father took out a file bag with a smile, saying it was a birthday gift for him, and told him to open it and take a look.

"I don't want it."

Zichen refused without even opening it.

"You must take it, no refusing." Sheng Hanyu's face sank, adopting the style of the head of the family, and he stuffed it directly into his arms.

Although he hung his face, he was very proud in his heart.

As expected of his own son, he was smart; he knew it wasn't anything good and refused without even looking.

Shi Youxuan put on a kind motherly expression and said to Zichen: "This is the painstaking effort of your father and me; a gift from an elder cannot be declined."

Zichen's face was bitter as he opened it, and after reading it, his expression became even more bitter.

His girlfriend asked curiously: "What is it?"

"See for yourself."

After Gu Yuxin read it, she also had an indescribable expression.

"What is inside?"

The expressions of the two people aroused everyone's curiosity.

Even Litian, who usually had no curiosity, was incredibly curious.

Litian asked Zirui, and Zirui seemed to have guessed it, but he just smiled without saying a word.

Zihan was hindered by the fact that her parents were sitting next to her eldest brother, otherwise she would have gone over to ask long ago.

Zichen pushed the file bag in front of his mother and returned it: "I said I wouldn't want your things. I will create my own career; the Chenxin Snack is doing quite well, and we won't have to worry about our life in the future."

He declined repeatedly, finally exhausting the last bit of his mother's patience.

"What are you talking nonsense for? Just take it since it's given to you."

(Setting up one's son, no room for negotiation)

Shi Youxuan stuffed the file folder back into Zichen's arms and laid down a harsh ultimatum: "Unless you aren't our son, you don't get to refuse this."

"The Wife Always Wants to Anger Me"

Like "The Wife Always Wants to Anger Me"
