Chapter 702: Madam Jian's Little Secret

Lady Jian's younger sister also did not expect that the words she used to threaten her older sister could be overheard by Wan'er.

Her guts turned green with regret.

However, she did not dare to chase after her, but instead snuck away.

……

The banquet hall.

Lady Jian was looking for opportunities everywhere to curry favor with Wan'er, but Wan'er kept an icy face the whole time, ignoring her.

Shi Youxuan found it strange; what was going on?

There must be something going on; Lady Jian loved to put on airs as a mother-in-law in front of others, but this time she was submissive and cautious—it wasn't normal.

Moreover, Wan'er was ignoring her mother-in-law, not even bothering to keep up appearances.

With such a good temper as hers, to be in this state now, she must be furious!

Shi Youxuan prepared to ask, but just then Nianyin arrived, so she didn't get to ask.

It was as if Nianyin had suddenly dropped from the sky; there had been no prior notice, she just suddenly arrived.

It had only been a few days since they parted, but upon meeting again, it felt as if they had been separated for a long time, with endless things to say.

Today was the three children's one-month celebration, and Nianyin not only came to represent the Ji Family for the celebration, but she also brought good news—the study abroad procedures had been processed, and she would be staying in Jiangzhou for at least three years from now on.

Wan'er's expression had been unpleasant the whole time; catching a moment, Jian Yining asked: "What's wrong with you? Your face is pulled so long, as if someone owes you money?"

Wan'er suppressed her anger: "Go ask your mother."

But when he went to ask, his mother said Wan'er was being pretentious and that nothing had happened.

After finally enduring until the banquet ended, Shi Youxuan was preparing to leave with her family when Wan'er caught up: "Sister, is it okay if I take the children to stay at your house for a while? If it's not convenient, we'll go stay at a hotel."

"It's convenient."

Shi Youxuan didn't ask what had happened; seeing her expression, she knew the matter couldn't be small.

Staying at her own home was much better than staying at a hotel.

As the children were being carried out and they were preparing to get into the car, Lady Jian chased after them, grabbing Wan'er's lapel and refusing to let go, begging bitterly: "Wan'er, Mom begs you, don't go, okay? If you leave just like this, A Ning will never forgive me for the rest of his life."

"Let go."

Wan'er looked at her coldly: "Do you want me to expose those shameless things you've done in front of everyone?"

Lady Jian let go sheepishly, still begging bitterly: "Wan'er, that was just Mom being muddled for a moment; I've already been punished, just let me off this once, okay..."

She took the children and climbed into the car, saying to her sister: "Let's go."

The car sped away, and Lady Jian collapsed onto the ground.

It was over.

It couldn't be hidden anymore.

……

The Sheng Family.

Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao were slightly stunned to see Wan'er bring the children over, but they didn't ask what had happened.

They hurriedly cleared out the nursery.

The nursery was Sheng Zichen's former room; the orientation and space were both large enough.

If the small beds weren't enough, they brought over a large bed; the three children were only a month old, so sleeping on one large bed was sufficient.

They had originally prepared a guest room for Wan'er, but she insisted on staying with the children, so they let her be.

The Study.

Wan'er sat on the sofa wiping away tears.

Shi Youxuan handed her a cup of hot milk: "Drink some milk; no matter how aggrieved you are, you must think of the children. Only with a stable mood can you ensure enough breast milk."

She didn't ask much more.

If she wanted to talk, Wan'er would tell her.

Wan'er had been holding those words in her heart all morning.

Now she poured it all out.

After she finished speaking, Shi Youxuan was even more furious than her!

No wonder Wan'er's expression was bad; the bullying had reached its peak.

Shi Youxuan grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it onto the ground, shattering it into pieces: "Don't go back. Wan'er, you stay here. This time you must make A Ning agree to move out. If he doesn't move out, then divorce; this life is impossible to live."

Wan'er was teary-eyed and pitiful: "Sister, I love A Ning, I don't want a divorce..."

Shi Youxuan: ……

What she had just said was also out of anger.

It wasn't that she really wanted them to divorce, but just wanted Wan'er to use divorce to threaten A Ning into agreeing to move out.

Being a filial son was fine.

If possible, she also wanted her younger sister to be a filial daughter-in-law.

Just like in her own home, although there would be conflicts, they were clashes of perspective, not issues of character, so they could always be resolved!

But Wan'er's mother-in-law was too much!

Before, it was just being harsh.

Now she was actually using such base methods; that person no longer had any bottom line.

And at a time like this, Wan'er was still considering whether to tell her husband.

She worried that after telling Jian Yining, the mother and son would turn against each other, and even if her husband moved out with her, he probably wouldn't be happy!

Wan'er loved Jian Yining too much, loved him humbly, without a self.

Shi Youxuan was angry at her lack of resolve, but she couldn't force her own views onto her sister.

After all, Wan'er is an adult and has the right to choose her own path.

The path under one's feet is walked by oneself, and the same goes for the bubbles!

But she would not completely ignore it either.

Respect Wan'er's ideas on the general direction, but the specific implementation can be flexible to make future days more comfortable.

The two sisters discussed it in the Study.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The housekeeper knocked on the door: "Madam, Old Madam Jian is here and wishes to see you."

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

"Heh, she came at just the right time; even if she hadn't come, I would have gone to find her."

Wan'er: "Sister, don't be too..."

She patted her sister's hand: "Rest assured, I know how to deal with your mother-in-law."

When Shi Youxuan went out, Lady Jian was sitting alone in the living room, without even a cup of hot tea in front of her.

When Wang Yinghao saw her come, she made an excuse to go grocery shopping and hid away.

If it were any other time, Lady Jian would certainly have picked at the Sheng Family for not being thorough enough with their etiquette.

The two families are relatives; she came, and not to mention hot tea, there wasn't even a smiling face.

But now she had no heart to be picky; she only wanted to coax her daughter-in-law back quickly.

"Xuanxuan, where is Wan'er?" Lady Jian said with a fawning smile.

"Wan'er is drafting a Divorce Agreement; you should have Jian Yining come over to sign it," Shi Youxuan said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing the four words "Divorce Agreement," Lady Jian's expression changed immediately: "No, you cannot divorce. Xuanxuan, I beg you to persuade Wan'er; she must not act on impulse..."

Shi Youxuan interrupted her: "What did you say? Acting on impulse? People have been bullied to the point of being stepped on, and you call this acting on impulse? Fine, I will call A Ning right now and have him tell me what is called acting on impulse."

"You cannot call, Xuanxuan, you cannot make this call!"

"Auntie begs you..."

Lady Jian humbled herself and said all the nice things she could.

Shi Youxuan is soft-hearted but not hard-headed; having competed so many times, Lady Jian had long since figured out her personality.

Yielding once was only for the sake of being tougher later!

Just as she understood Shi Youxuan, Shi Youxuan also knew what kind of character she had.

She sneered and scoffed: "It sounds nice now, but I'm afraid that as soon as you turn your head, you will intensify your actions. How many times has this kind of thing happened? Don't beg me; begging me is useless. I must tell A Ning about this matter."

"You can't, Xuanxuan, I beg you."

Lady Jian slid off the sofa and fell to the floor.

Before she came, she still harbored a glimmer of hope.

She thought she could talk to Wan'er directly; although she would be given the cold shoulder, she was confident she could make her daughter-in-law soften her heart.

She was just afraid of talking to Shi Youxuan directly, and as it turned out, what she feared came to pass.

"How do you want to handle this matter? Isn't divorce exactly what you wanted? Anyway, you racked your brains just to make them divorce..." No matter what Shi Youxuan said, she dared not refute it and could only timidly agree.
