Chapter 685: Wife, listen to my explanation
When Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu left the station, they deliberately fell behind their brother-in-law Wen Guohua and told Watching Wen Leyu about the test-tube baby.
"It's not appropriate for me to talk to sister-in-law about this. You go and probe her tone!"
"I go and probe her tone?"
Watching Wen Leyu's little face froze, and she said strangely: "Shouldn't she come to ask us for help? She should come to beg me!"
"..."
Li Ye, in his previous life, knew that there was a unique "scale" between girls. Only girls could see the mark on the scale. Things that boys felt were indifferent, they might take very seriously. Things that boys felt were earth-shattering, they felt were very light.
Li Ye felt that in order to solve his brother-in-law's predicament, Li Ye should take the initiative to "open his heart" to Pan Xiaoying, persuade her to let go of her psychological burden, and bravely go for a checkup and test-tube.
But Watching Wen Leyu's first thought was actually "Shouldn't she take the initiative to please me?"
Tsk tsk tsk~, sister-in-law!
This relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is indeed one of the world's problems.
Li Ye pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "Since brother told us, and we have the intention to help, it's not a solution to delay it. Don't wait until Mom finds out directly and scolds us bloody, complaining that we are heartless..."
From Teacher Ke's actions on New Year's Eve, it was clear she was going crazy waiting for a grandson. If Li Ye and his wife still stretched Pan Xiaoying and delayed her grandson from buying soy sauce, then a scolding would be light.
"That absolutely won't happen!"
Watching Wen Leyu shook her head and said: "You don't understand my mom at all. Mom won't direct us on what to do in this kind of thing. I have to settle accounts clearly with my brother, let alone my sister-in-law?"
"If you don't believe me, look! I'll mention it to Mom later, and Mom will arrange it. She will definitely make sister-in-law remember our kindness, instead of letting us go up and beg her, making her feel that giving birth to a child is like making a great contribution to the Wen family."
"..."
Li Ye blinked, feeling it made some sense.
Being a mother-in-law is also a science. There are families where the water bowl isn't level and things are chaotic, and there are also those with high skills who are harmonious.
Sure enough, when Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu arrived at the Wen family, Watching Wen Leyu only talked to Teacher Ke for five minutes. After lunch, Pan Xiaoying took the initiative to find Watching Wen Leyu and pulled her into the room to whisper.
Married for a year or two without children, it seems she was not only under pressure from Teacher Ke, but the pressure from the Pan family was also not small.
All of this stemmed from the changes in the Wen family.
People often say that from the peak to the decline of a family, it will likely follow such a rule—the first generation is in business or politics, the second generation is doctors or lawyers, and the third generation is rent or art. Once it reaches the generation of art, the decline is a foregone conclusion, basically powerless to return to heaven.
But the Wen family, after falling half a level, stabilized the downward trend against the trend, and looking at the signs in the past two years, there was still a strong rebound trend.
At this time, is Pan Xiaoying's personal will still important? You want to have no children first and focus on your career? Is it up to you?
You only care about your career, what about the child's career?
Is giving birth at twenty-five the same as giving birth at thirty?
When you retire to the second line at sixty and people leave and tea cools, he has climbed five years less than others! Do you have the strength to use it?
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, many units in the capital started work, but for employees like Li Ye who returned to other places for the New Year, asking for leave or even skipping work was understandable.
Li Ye had long planned to send Li Kaian and Li Juan to Hong Kong, so he booked a flight to Hong Kong today.
Flight departures abroad at this time weren't like decades later, where there could be five, six, seven, or eight flights a day. It was possible that there wouldn't be one for several days, so Li Ye not only relied on connections to buy tickets but also asked his brother-in-law to personally escort him to board the plane!
After all, if he encountered a foreigner who needed care, it would be hard to handle. Waiting for a few hours would be fine, but if Li Ye and the others were "invited" off the plane, who would they go to for justice?
Of course, his brother-in-law was also willing to come, because Watching Wen Leyu had already discussed with Pan Xiaoying that this time Li Ye would send Li Kaian and Li Juan to Hong Kong for a "family reunion," and by the way, finalize a reliable medical institution, prepare everything, and then let his brother-in-law and his wife go over for checkups and treatment.
Watching Wen Leyu and her sister Li Yue also came to see them off. Because Little Dun'er was still young and Watching Wen Leyu had a big belly, they were both ordered not to go to Hong Kong this time to avoid all unpredictable risks.
However, sister Li Yue clearly had complaints about the elders' "overbearing," and even after arriving at the airport, she was still grumbling and protesting: "Scientists have said that airplanes are the safest means of transportation in the world. You are all old-fashioned, especially you, Little Ye..."
Li Yue turned the spearhead and reprimanded Li Ye: "Grandma and Dad don't believe in science, don't you believe in science either? It's really something, family reunion, leaving the two of us alone in the capital..."
Li Ye twisted his mouth, only feeling that he was so innocent.
Li Yue wanted to go to Hong Kong to reunite with her mother, Hearing Fu Guiru. In addition, she also missed Li Ye's big villa and the charming lights under the Mid-Levels.
As a result, in the end, they weren't allowed to go? You say, isn't it annoying?
"This... sister, you don't know something..."
Li Ye was preparing to tell his sister that in a few days, his mother Hearing Fu Guiru would definitely come to the capital, so they could reunite here, why did they have to go over and join in the fun?
However, before Li Ye could speak, he heard someone on the left calling Li Ye's name.
"Student Li Ye, are you here to see someone off today? Or are you going abroad yourself?"
"..."
Li Ye turned his head to the left and saw a "half-acquaintance"—Zhang Rui.
The reason he said he was a half-acquaintance was because Li Ye had only seen him a few times and had no friendship.
But back then, Zhang Rui sold his courtyard house at a high price of ten thousand yuan in order to study abroad. After returning from studying abroad, he wanted to buy the courtyard house back at a higher price, so the cause and effect between them was very deep.
Counting the days, Zhang Rui should have returned to the country for two years. Is he unwilling to give up now and wants to go out again?
Li Ye didn't give Zhang Rui a cold face in front of Li Kaian and Wen Guohua, but said faintly: "I'm here to see someone off today. What's the matter, Teacher Zhang, are you going abroad too?"
Zhang Rui shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm also here to see someone off. My dad won't let me go abroad, otherwise I... hey, why say that, it's all annoying things."
"Oh~"
Li Ye looked to the left and asked casually: "Who are you sending abroad? Where are you going? Europe or America?"
"Hehe, they are all acquaintances. That's not... here they come."
Zhang Rui pointed behind Li Ye and revealed a hearty smile.
Li Ye turned his head and found that they were indeed acquaintances, and there were three of them.
Watching Liu Muhan, Lu Jingyao, Gao Xiaoyan—aren't they all acquaintances?
【What do you mean, you piece of trash? Do you want to show off to me that you've flirted with Lu Jingyao?】
While Li Ye was puzzled, he saw Zhang Rui walking quickly to Watching Liu Muhan's side and snatching the big suitcase from her hand. 【685-5
"Mu Han, you really are something. I said long ago that I would come to see you all off, but you insisted otherwise. Carrying such a large suitcase—if the road is slippery and you fall, how am I supposed to answer to Uncle Liu?"
"."
Li Ye looked at the overly attentive Zhang Zui, his expression extremely strange; he wanted to laugh but couldn't, and he wanted to cry but couldn't.
Li Ye knew that Zhang Zui's father and Watching Liu Muhan's father had an extraordinary relationship, because when Zhang Zui's father moved house, Watching Liu Muhan had represented her own father in delivering a housewarming gift.
It seemed now that both families were trying to play matchmaker for Watching Liu Muhan and Zhang Zui, which was why Zhang Zui, despite clearly being at odds with Li Ye, had just come over to chat with a grin.
He was trying to become Li Ye's uncle-in-law! Damn it, was he trying to make Li Ye pay for another round of "change-of-address" money?
But very quickly, Li Ye realized this guy didn't have such good intentions.
"This is Section Chief Liu, from the Foreign Trade Bureau. As for the other one, I don't need to introduce her, do I?"
Zhang Zui pointed at Lu Jingyao and said to Li Ye, "The reason Lu Jingyao was able to get a spot to study abroad back then was all thanks to your help, Li Ye!"
"..."
What the hell! When did I ever help Lu Jingyao study abroad?
Li Ye was a bit bewildered; he racked his brains, but he didn't remember ever helping Lu Jingyao obtain a study-abroad qualification!
Lu Jingyao's expression was also one of shock, appearing somewhat confused.
And on Li Ye's wrist, a stinging sensation was transmitted.
Watching Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, her small hand tightly gripping Li Ye's pulse, just like a golden tabby cat about to unleash its fury, ready at any moment to unsheathe the claws from its paw pads and give Li Ye a fierce swipe.
【Wife, listen to my explanation, none of that happened, I'm innocent!】
