Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 138 Promotion and Salary Increase (2)
Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Promotion and Salary Increase (2)
Ye Guihua didn’t know what Chen Wenyu was thinking. When she heard her calling her ’Auntie’, Ye Guihua was stunned. She wondered, just now she was calling her ’Mom’ on the phone, why did she change to ’Auntie’ in front of her son? Could it be that she wanted to marry Guotao, but he hadn’t decided yet, so she wanted to use her as an elder to help her out?
Thinking about this, Ye Guihua’s heart sank. She felt that this girl was quite scheming, and her impression of her dropped several points again. But, no matter what, Chen Wenyu was entangled with her son, and now that she said she was in pain, out of politeness, Ye Guihua had to show concern. So she asked, "Where does it hurt? Why don’t you sit down first?"
As she spoke, Ye Guihua stood up and stepped aside, offering the chair to Chen Wenyu, indicating for her to sit down.
However, Chen Wenyu used to be a receptionist, often greeting and receiving clients. She understood this basic courtesy. Ye Guihua was an elder, and she couldn’t possibly take the chair she was sitting on. Besides, she wasn’t that seriously injured and could still stand.
"No, Auntie, you should sit. I just have a broken finger, fortunately, the baby in my belly is fine." Chen Wenyu wiped the tears off her face and forced a sweet smile, but in the eyes of Ye Guihua and Song Guotao, it was especially irritating.
Why?
Because this obviously suggestive remark seemed to fear that Ye Guihua wouldn’t know she was pregnant! It was quite grating for both mother and son to hear, and they felt a bit of resentment.
However, the reasons for Song Guotao and Ye Guihua’s dislike of Chen Wenyu were very different due to their vastly different values. Song Guotao felt repelled, firstly because he had hardly any feelings left for Chen Wenyu, let alone love, not even liking; and secondly, he didn’t want Chen Wenyu to keep the baby, as he felt he didn’t lack women willing to bear his child. More importantly, the baby in her belly was a major obstacle to his reconciliation with Mi Wan.
As for Ye Guihua, her aversion was mainly because Chen Wenyu was the third party who ruined her son’s marriage with Mi Wan. She already had a pre-existing dislike, and seeing Chen Wenyu in person, she found her even less comparable to Mi Wan in terms of temperament, appearance, and conduct. Moreover, being unmarried and pregnant was not something to be proud of, especially when the child she was carrying was from a married man. Under these circumstances, instead of feeling any shame, she was proudly talking about her pregnancy, which Ye Guihua’s traditional and simple values couldn’t accept and acknowledge.
The aversion rolled and fermented in the hearts of the mother and son. The two looked at each other but said nothing, tacitly turning their eyes to Chen Wenyu again. After two seconds of silence, Ye Guihua reluctantly spoke first, "How did your finger get broken? Did the doctor bandage it?"
Chen Wenyu was waiting for Ye Guihua to ask her this. The brewing tears fell again, and she said aggrievedly, "I just ran into Mi Wan downstairs. Maybe she resented me for being with Guotao. She was very angry and broke my finger."
"Impossible! Wanwan would never do that!" As soon as Chen Wenyu finished speaking, Ye Guihua immediately retorted, completely disbelieving what she said! novelbuddy-cσ๓
In fact, it wasn’t her intention to embarrass Chen Wenyu on the spot, but Ye Guihua just couldn’t stand her slandering Mi Wan. She knew very well what kind of person Mi Wan was, and she also had some understanding of what kind of person Chen Wenyu was.
But Chen Wenyu didn’t expect that Ye Guihua would trust Mi Wan so much and not believe her at all.
Suddenly, she felt humiliated and angry, but all these emotions turned into more grievances showing on her face, and she cried even harder, "Auntie, what I said is true. How could I lie in front of you!"
"I don’t know if you lie or not, but I know that Wanwan would never hurt anyone for no reason." If Mi Wan were really malicious, she wouldn’t have answered her call, picked her up at the train station, or carefully bought her food.
Just today’s events were enough for Ye Guihua to recognize Mi Wan’s goodness, not to mention all their past interactions. It’s said that time reveals a person’s heart. When she first knew that Song Guotao had found a city girl, she had lots of worries, but time proved Mi Wan to be a rare good girl. Despite her good family background, she was not pampered and never looked down on the poor. She could adapt to living in their countryside’s thatched house without complaint.
Even though they lived apart and not together, just because Mi Wan always actively helped her relatives and friends, Ye Guihua had deep gratitude for her. Therefore, in her heart, Mi Wan’s position was incomparable to a thousand Chen Wenyus, even if Chen Wenyu bore her son’s child, the result would be the same.
Listening to Ye Guihua defending Mi Wan once again, Chen Wenyu was so angry that she could hardly keep up the pretense, but for the sake of the child in her belly, before she got the marriage certificate with Song Guotao, she had to endure her immense dissatisfaction and grievances.
"Auntie, you see people’s faces but not their hearts. Mi Wan just tried to harm the baby in my belly! I don’t know what kind of training she has had. Just a wave of her hand and she broke my finger and threatened... threatened to punch my belly twice!" Chen Wenyu persisted in driving a wedge between them.
"Girl, you should watch your mouth. You broke up a good family. It’s only natural for them to be angry and want to hit you. So before you complain about others, please think about what kind of person you are!" Ye Guihua was really angry and didn’t show Chen Wenyu any face.
"Auntie, you!"
Chen Wenyu’s face turned green with anger! A surge of rage was stuck in her chest; she couldn’t vent it upward or downward, almost suffocating herself before recognizing a fact that Ye Guihua simply didn’t like her! No matter what she said, Ye Guihua wouldn’t believe her!
She really wanted to continue arguing with Ye Guihua because she didn’t think she had done anything wrong. Love affairs between men and women were consensual. Why did she deserve to be beaten! Damn, this old country woman was simply inflexible, outdated, and incredibly pedantic!
In her heart, Chen Wenyu cursed Ye Guihua, but outwardly, she didn’t dare to contradict her.
"Yu, go find a doctor to bandage your finger." Seeing the stalemate between the two, Song Guotao finally spoke.
"Okay."
In such a situation, Chen Wenyu had no choice but to agree. After nodding her head, she forced a smile and said to Ye Guihua, "Auntie, you’ve been on the train all night, you must be tired. Rest here for a while, and I’ll buy you something to eat after I get my wound bandaged."
