Regarding Zhou Lan's gaffe, Octavia couldn't figure out what went wrong.
He came out of Xu Zhiyi's bedroom holding the quilt. Zhou Lan came to the living room and saw him spreading the quilt. She took it over and complained:
"You said you were looking for a wife who couldn't even sleep in the same room, but you really have one. Did she kick you out..."
"Mom, this is a matter between Zhiyi and I. You just don't have to worry about how we get along, okay? She's a good girl. Stop talking about her. If you do, I'll be really angry with you."
When Zhou Lan heard this, she smashed the quilt in her hand and her voice became shrill:
"If she is really a good girl, she should at least come out and lay down the quilt for you. What does it look like to hide in there all day long? It makes me seem like a vicious person. If I don't want to sleep with you, then don't marry you. To put it bluntly, that's it. Pretentious.”
At this time, Zhou Lan's expression looked unusually mean.
Octavia was even more sure that something was wrong with her psychology.
He considered it carefully and said: "Mom, as a girl, Zhiyi won't sleep with me before marriage. It's natural and reasonable. This is not hypocritical. I'm surprised that you have such an idea. I think you need to find a psychiatrist to intervene now. You Go to bed first, I’ll call my dad to discuss it.”
Zhou Lan exploded instantly, "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am mentally ill? Let me tell you Octavia, I am not sick, the one who is sick is Xu Zhiyi, hum!"
After saying that, Octavia watched her angrily return to the bedroom.
After returning to the bedroom, she didn't know at what point she lost control. When Mingrui called Ming Huaiyuan, she broke into Xu Zhiyi's bedroom while he wasn't paying attention.
After calling Ming Huaixiu, Mingrui thought about the whole process again, but still couldn't understand what Zhou Lan did.
Worried about Xu Zhiyi, before going to bed, he went to her bedroom and found that she had a fever again.
Octavia woke her up carefully, gave her medicine, and kept watch over her.
Her body temperature fluctuated throughout the night, and Octavia continued to physically cool her down. By morning, her fever finally came down.
She had no appetite, so she had some white rice porridge for breakfast.
After struggling all night, my face looked very haggard and I didn't have much strength to speak.
After breakfast and some medicine for her, Octavia hugged Xu Zhiyi and fell asleep again.
The two slept until noon, and Octavia took her temperature. Fortunately, it was 37 degrees.
Lunch was eaten in the hotel room. It was light vegetable porridge and crystal shrimp dumplings. Xu Zhiyi ate quite well.
As soon as I can eat something, I feel much better.
Not long after lunch, Mingrui received a call from Ming Huaiyuan.
He has arrived in Hangzhou.
Xu Zhiyi became nervous again when he heard that Ming Huaiyuan was also here.
Octavia quickly comforted her: "Zhiyi, don't be nervous. My father is a very reasonable man. I asked him to take my mother back to Acropolis. The flight will be at around six o'clock tonight."
"oh……"
Xu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
A mother-in-law makes her feel frightened, and a father-in-law is too much for her.
She still needs time to adjust.
Thinking about the process of adapting, she began to feel depressed again.
Mingrui left her alone in the hotel for a lunch break while he went to find his parents in 2701 Huajing Community.
She took another medicine before lunch break. After the medicine took effect, she felt sleepy and weak, but she could not sleep well.
After tossing and turning until around three o'clock in the afternoon, Mingrui brought Ming Huaiyuan to the hotel.
Seeing him, Xu Zhiyi was a little embarrassed, so she greeted him cautiously, sat upright, and listened to what he said.
Octavia sat next to her and held her hand.
"Zhiyi, let me apologize on behalf of your aunt. She actually knew that she shouldn't have said that to you last night. She is an elder and your future mother-in-law. She always has a bit of face. You Just be considerate.”
"Although she didn't come to apologize to you in person, agreeing to let me do it was her attitude. Let's just let this matter go. Don't take it to heart."
"From now on, we will all be a family. We will meet each other without looking down and looking up. If everyone is more open-minded, there will naturally be less conflicts. I still hope that you can live in harmony with your mother-in-law."
Ming Huaiyuan has been immersed in official circles for a long time, and his aura is there. When he said this, Xu Zhiyi did not dare to say more and nodded along with his words.
Mingrui looked at Ming Huaiyuan and frowned.
Ming Huaiyuan did not stay any longer and quickly stood up. Xu Zhiyi stood up quickly after him, and Mingrui also stood up soon after.
"Listen to Octavia, you are still sick, so take a good rest first. I still have a job. There are only a few days left for your wedding. There are still a lot of things in Acropolis for your aunt to deal with. Your aunt will not stay here to help you. She's busy, she will go back to the Acropolis with me today. If you are sick, you don't have to send us off."
After saying that, Ming Huaiyuan left.
Xu Zhiyi sat back on the sofa and rubbed his hands repeatedly.
Octavia went to see Ming Huaiyuan off.
The hotel is only a 20-minute walk from Huajing Community. The Ming family and his son did not take a car and talked while walking.
"Dad, thank you for coming today, but I have reservations about your method and attitude in handling the problem."
Ming Huaiyuan snorted, "What's the matter? I, a department-level cadre, personally apologized to your wife, but you are not satisfied?"
"It's not like you scolded my wife."
"Your mother is my wife, can't I take her place? It seems like you are the only one who has a wife. If you love your wife, you don't allow me to go to my wife. Octavia, let me tell you, home is not an unreasonable place. That's it. , don’t push yourself too far.”
Mingrui paused for a while, looked at Ming Huaiyuan, and said with a smile:
"Dad, my mother is your daughter-in-law. If you treat her, I have nothing to say. Anyway, I am following her example. Why do you treat my mother? From now on, I will always favor Zhiyi. Who makes her my daughter-in-law?" "
Ming Huaiyuan looked back at him with an expression as if he didn't know him and didn't know what to say about him.
After passing an intersection, turning left and entering Huajing Community, Octavia reminded Ming Huaiyuan:
"Dad, when I got married, my mother's reaction was indeed a bit big. She must have a psychological problem. After you go back, pay more attention to her, persuade her to see a psychiatrist, help her resolve it in time, and let her adapt to the role of mother-in-law as soon as possible. , accept Zhiyi peacefully.”
Ming Huaiyuan sighed, "I discovered it a long time ago. Since you got engaged, her situation has become more and more obvious. This will take some time. Don't worry, I'm here."
"good."
After Ming Huaiyuan arrived, Zhou Lan's mood became much more stable, and she realized that she had lost her composure yesterday, but she did not think that she was at fault.
If she was wrong, she admitted that she did not knock on the door last night and rushed into Xu Zhiyi's bedroom to embarrass her, which was indeed rude.
She didn't think that what she said about Xu Zhiyi was wrong.
Zhou Lan was unwilling to come and apologize to Xu Zhiyi in person. Mingrui knew that pushing him further would be counterproductive, so he settled for the next best thing and asked Ming Huaiyuan to do it for her.
Ming Huaiyuan knew right from wrong and knew that he had to apologize for Zhou Lan.
Fortunately, she didn't have any objections.
Octavia is their son, and they know best that if they don't even do this, they will really anger Octavia.
They are well aware of the consequences of angering Octavia, and they are also worried about it.
