Chapter 28 Pain Points
"I've severed ties with the Sheng family, but the Wen family and the Sheng family still maintain their relationship. It's just a formality, why are you getting so worked up?"
Wen Shuyi sized up the woman in front of him.
She dressed up specially.
It was an outfit favored by the elders of the Sheng family.
However, the Sheng family cares more about their reputation. Shen Xin's outburst last night will undoubtedly bring those embarrassing things back to the forefront.
Coming here is pointless.
"Shen Xinwan, I feel sorry for you. How could you not know that Sheng Li is infertile? And you still went and got pregnant to force him into marriage?"
Shen Xinwan's sore spot was touched.
The color was extremely dirty and unsightly.
"He has no problems with his function, how was I supposed to know he couldn't get pregnant? I just wanted to push him..." Shen Xinwan knew her act had backfired, and she forced a bitter smile. "I thought he loved me so much that he would do anything to give me a proper status. No, nothing at all. He only loved his own feelings, his own pride. Me?"
Shen Xinwan smiled.
Tears welled in her eyes, her voice choked with bitterness. "What am I? Just someone to be dealt with. Wen Shuyi, you were right to leave him. He's no good at all, and neither is the Sheng family. You and I are both cannon fodder."
Wen Shu also heard these things.
His brow was slightly furrowed.
She disagrees with this statement.
The so-called cannon fodder was something Shen Xinwan brought upon herself.
If she had been willing to take Mimi and live a good life with the Chen family, things wouldn't have come to this.
She brought it all on herself.
"After Chen Ming passed away, you didn't properly consider your own and your child's future, and instead placed your bets on Sheng Li, which was a mistake in itself. The Sheng family would never allow Sheng Li to marry you, and this outcome is your own doing."
Shen Xinwan admitted it.
She thought she and Sheng Li would have a good outcome and raise Mimi together.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
How could she accept this?
"He was the one who kept saying he loved me, he was the one who said he would take good care of me and Mimi, and love me and Mimi well. He was the one who said that he had never let go of me all these years, but now..."
Shen Xinwan's eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at Wen Shuyi. "...It's you. You've bewitched him again, which is why he's treating me like this. Wen Shuyi, you clearly broke up with him, why are you still seducing him?"
Wen Shuyi: ...
She scoffed, "Shen Xinwan, you're hopeless."
Wen Shuyi strode into the Sheng family home.
Shen Xinwan tried to follow her in, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.
The Sheng family home, which I haven't set foot in for three years.
It's still the same as always, not much has changed.
Wen Shuyi didn't walk very fast. When people who knew her greeted her, she would nod slightly in response.
"Aunt Shuyi."
That's Mimi's voice.
It's been many years since I last saw her; the little girl has grown quite a bit taller.
However, with the loss of some of the innocence in his eyes, he looked even more sinister.
Thinking of Shen Xinwan, whom I had just met.
Her mother wouldn't let her in, but she could.
It's quite amazing.
Sheng Li's mother led her to Wen Shuyi. "Mi Mi has a hard life. Sheng Li couldn't bear to see her suffer with that madwoman Shen Xinwan, so he asked me to take care of her for a while. She said she saw you come, but I didn't believe it. You really did come. It seems that what A Li said was right."
Wen Shuyi: ...? ? ?
"What...did he say?"
"He said he's been working hard to pursue you lately, which made me very happy. You two shouldn't have ended up breaking up. Fortunately, Ah Li knows his mistakes and can change them. You can forgive each other and rekindle your relationship, which is a good thing."
The smile on Li Shuping's face didn't seem fake.
There is so much joy in it.
But she was the only one who wasn't considered.
Wen Shuyi corrected her, "Auntie, you might be mistaken, I have a boyfriend."
Li Shuping was slightly taken aback.
She wasn't sure if she'd misheard. "You mean...you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, Auntie, so it's impossible for Sheng Li and me to be together again," Wen Shuyi said with a smile.
Li Shuping's face changed color.
She immediately thought of Sheng Tingwang, "Your boyfriend wouldn't be...?"
"Auntie, my boyfriend is Li Jiangyan."
Li Shuping was startled again.
Li Jiangyan from the Li family.
"Yeah?"
Wen Shuyi nodded. Li Shuping carefully studied her expression and realized that her enthusiasm didn't seem to vanish so quickly after she had lied.
She took Mimi's hand, ignoring Wen Shuyi, and said, "Let's go."
Mimi turned around and glanced at Wen Shuyi.
He gave her the middle finger in a dark gesture.
Wen Shuyi was also angered.
There's really no point in arguing with a six-year-old child.
I just entered the lobby.
I haven't had a chance to give Master Sheng his birthday gift yet.
Then I heard a commotion.
It was Sheng Ting who acted recklessly.
He wore a custom-made suit, meticulously tailored and of superior quality, with a bow tie at the collar that highlighted the importance he placed on attending the banquet.
The beautiful woman beside him was equally stunning.
The gentle and elegant cheongsam, combined with her curvaceous figure, is just perfect.
The two of them were inexplicably well-matched.
There were uncles and elders chatting with Sheng Tingwang.
The aunties and older women then pulled Xu Chuyin aside to chat about things between husband and wife.
Wen Shuyi happened to be standing right next to these aunties, so it was hard not to hear.
"Hatsune, when are you and Tingwang going to have a baby? Take advantage of your youth and have one soon, so you can get back in shape quickly."
"Yes, men need to have a child to keep them. You're young and can have children easily, so don't delay."
Xu Chuyin's face flushed slightly.
He seemed a little embarrassed.
"Tingwang and I didn't use contraception, but as for this child, it's up to fate. We don't have the final say."
The aunties smiled and held Xu Chuyin's hands, "He's been abroad for so many years and suffered a lot of injuries, so he must be alright in that area, right?"
"He... is a good person." Xu Chuyin's ears turned red.
"Judging from Tingwang's appearance, he's not far off. You guys better hurry up and come a few more times tonight..."
For some reason, the laughter became grating.
Wen Shu also felt uncomfortable hearing this.
She quietly turned around and walked into the yard.
The Sheng family home in summer is full of vitality.
But her heart was a desolate wasteland.
Sheng Li walked over and stood beside her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"What's it to you?" Wen Shuyi knew he was referring to Sheng Tingwang and Xu Chuyin. He slowly squatted down. "You'd better stay away from me. I'm not in a good mood right now, and I might start swearing."
Sheng Li looked at her indifferently.
There was a hint of heartache in her eyes. "When you're in a bad mood, you like to squat in the yard and pick up leaves."
"Do you really know me?" Wen Shuyi didn't look up, burying her face in her knees. "Don't even think about starting over with me. I'm not the kind of person who goes back to an old flame."
"What if the one seeking reconciliation is Sheng Tingwang? Wouldn't you still do that?"
Wen Shuyi's gaze paused slightly, then he forced a bitter smile. "Of course, isn't he a man? Are you blind? He's already married, he has a wife, why are you begging me to make up?"
Sheng Li reluctantly agreed.
He then squatted down to speak to her at eye level, "My mom said you have a boyfriend, Li Jiangyan, is it true?"
"Of course it's true."
"Are you serious? Are you planning to marry him?" Sheng Li asked again.
Wen Shuyi: "Stop asking so many questions. What's it to you?"
"I need to see if I have a chance to win you back." Sheng Li also felt regret towards Wen Shu. For those two years, he had overlooked her good qualities, and now, he was about to miss out on her as well. "Would you like to give me a fair chance to compete with Li Jiangyan?"
"You're not even on the same level as him. Even if you had the chance, you couldn't compete with him." Wen Shuyi shook her head with a smile. "You have to understand that some things are in the past. Even if you try to bring them back, it won't feel the same. There's no point."
