The eldest aunt and the third aunt were both startled. When they turned around to see her, they looked embarrassed for a moment, then immediately smiled.
"Xiaoqing, are you... coming to deliver food to grandpa?" The third aunt took two steps forward and took the initiative to say hello.
Mu Wanqing did not respond and continued their previous topic: "Wen Zhan is a filial grandfather from the bottom of his heart. He is not competing for favor or grabbing property as you said."
The eldest aunt now calmed down and returned to her calm and dignified attitude as a matron. She smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Qing, don't get me wrong. Your third aunt and I are just chatting about home affairs."
"La Jia Chang is not just slandering behind his back. You are all elders, and what you say has some weight. If these words are spread, the younger generations will believe them to be true, and everyone will have opinions about Wen Zhan."
Mu Wanqing still argued hard, hoping that they would realize their mistakes and set an example for their elders.
These words were a bit harsh, and the eldest aunt's face suddenly darkened, "Wan Qing, you also know that we are elders. Shouldn't you treat your elders with more respect?"
The eldest aunt's family is well-off, and she has been respected by everyone for decades after marrying into the Wen family.
Today, she was scolded in front of a wild girl whom she despised from the bottom of her heart. She lost all dignity and immediately assumed the authority of an elder.
Seeing her expression, Mu Wanqing felt nervous, but thinking that the truth was on her side, she still retorted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "If you do the right thing, I will definitely respect you. But what you said to the third aunt, It's all your imagination. There are also company affairs. Although I am not involved, I can see how hard it has been for Wen Zhan in the past few years when he took over the company. Your son is not willing to take on this burden. Wen Zhan is not the only one. People have endured it, and you just sit back and enjoy it, so forget it without being grateful, but instead arrange it behind your back."
As soon as these words came out, the eldest aunt's face turned even more ugly, and the third aunt also had a straight face and was very angry.
"What do you know! When will it be your turn to judge the affairs of the Wen family? A wild girl with no father and mother, but she was just lucky enough to win the favor of the old man and change her destiny to marry into the Wen family. You Do you really think you are a loser? The old man's body won't last long, and you think Wen Zhan will still want you when the time comes! What are you proud of? Even we dare to preach, there are no rules!" The third aunt was not as pretentious as the eldest aunt, and was irritated Immediately afterwards, he started to curse harshly without any choice of words.
The eldest aunt sneered, and then continued what my sister-in-law said: "You said she is a wild girl without a father and mother. Who will teach her the rules?"
Mu Wanqing was inevitably at a disadvantage in a one-on-one situation. She was hit at a painful point and her face was hurt for a moment. "Even if I don't have the rules, I know I shouldn't talk about people behind their backs. You guys do know the rules, but there are other things you can do." "
"You——" The third aunt turned pale with anger and suddenly took a step to rush forward.
Fortunately, the eldest aunt grabbed her and reminded her in a low voice: "Don't be like her! If you make trouble in front of the old man later, the consequences will be more serious!"
The third aunt gritted her teeth and then came back to her senses. She stared angrily at Mu Wanqing and cursed: "I'm waiting for the day when Wen Zhan divorces you! Let's see what else you can be proud of! If you still defend him, he is just treating you like you." It’s just a chess piece with multiple heads!”
"Third Aunt, why did my nephew offend you, causing you to curse me for divorce and hope that my family will break up?" Suddenly, a low and cold tone came slowly, startling everyone.
Mu Wanqing turned around quickly and saw the stern man approaching with a sneer on his face. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes showed a bit of grievance.
Of course, she didn't realize it.
Wen Zhan walked to his wife's side, put his arms around her shoulders, and took her into his arms. His handsome face turned to the two elders and continued to ask: "The third aunt hasn't answered my question yet. Is it because of the second brother?" You have a grudge against me because I am not the president? If so, I can abdicate immediately and make way for someone better."
The third aunt's face changed several times, and finally she forced out a smile, "Wen Zhan, this... is all a misunderstanding. Your second brother is very playful and can't stay in the office. How can he manage the company well? It's Xiaoqing who misunderstood, Misunderstood us.”
"Really?" Wen Zhan looked down at his wife in his arms, his face and tone softened, and he asked, "When did your ears stop working? Usually when children wake up, they hum, and you can hear it from a distance. Hurry up. past."
Mu Wanqing knew what he meant and followed the words: "Maybe I haven't had a good rest recently and I'm hearing hallucinations."
"Then we'll have lunch with Grandpa. You can go back and rest early."
"Um."
The two of them treated each other with respect, but before the words were settled, Wen Zhan turned around with his wife in his arms.
But when he came to the corner, he suddenly turned around: "Auntie, third aunt, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can come to me directly. Don't blame innocent people. Qingqing does not have a natal family, and her grandfather is the benefactor of our Wen family. , as the elders, you should love and care for her more. If things like what happened just now spread, the outside world will think that our Wen family is bullying others and repaying kindness with hatred."
These words were very calm and gentle, but when they fell in Mu Wanqing's heart, they stirred up a storm like a drum.
His acting skills in front of others are really superb.
Moreover, one second he was showing respect to his elders, deliberately looking for steps to ask her to pause, and the next second he was nodding at her face to face - it was really incomprehensible.
The eldest aunt and the third aunt were so "taught" by his words that their faces turned green and white, and they hesitated to speak several times.
Wen Zhan took his wife and turned away lightly, leaving the two elders standing there, furious.
"Look at that proud look, they are a perfect match! They both don't know etiquette and have no respect for their elders!" The third aunt was trembling with anger.
But the eldest aunt rolled her eyes at her and left angrily: "It's all your fault! You made me talk about this, and others heard it with your own ears!"
"I...this-" The third aunt was speechless.
————
On the other side, Wen Zhan hugged Mu Wanqing and left, walking towards the ward without letting go of his arms.
Mu Wanqing was very uncomfortable, but thinking that she had to play the role of a loving couple in front of the old man, she didn't break away and just let him hold her.
The scene where Wen Zhan defended himself just now was still replaying in her mind, and thinking of what he said, a little warmth surged in her heart.
But when I think about the conversation between the eldest aunt and the third aunt, the warmth instantly dissipates.
Did he marry himself just to obey his grandfather, to get power in the company and more property?
If a person can sacrifice many years of relationships for profit, then this person is definitely not worthy of trust, and may even be considered a scumbag.
From this point of view, it was a good thing that Lu Kejun did not achieve righteousness with him.
Maybe people saw his true nature early and rationally rejected her and chose to marry the son of the Gu family.
In the past, Mu Wanqing thought that he was really infatuated with Lu Kejun and that he was a devoted person.
But now she has changed her mind. What kind of single-minded and infatuated love is just the eternal turmoil of what you can't get, and it's just wanting and wanting.
Moreover, just now the eldest aunt told the third aunt that the old man wanted to change his will and redistribute the property - was it because of this that Wen Zhan did not agree to divorce her?
After all, the more heads you have, the more you can get.
Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing's heart became even colder, and she reminded herself again - she couldn't be blinded by that face, and couldn't be blinded by his temporary acting skills - divorce was inevitable!
