Chapter 690 Disappointment
Hearing her words, Sheng Mingying looked at the noon newspaper and asked, "What time is it now?"
Aunt Qi looked at the clock in the main hall and said, "It's half past twelve."
Sheng Mingying said, "Tell the kitchen to serve the dishes."
Qi's mother said, "Yes."
She gave the instructions, and soon the kitchen and dining room were bustling with activity.
Sheng Mingying sat there reading the afternoon paper, continuing to wait for the two of them.
"mom."
Before long, Zhou Yi's soft and obedient voice reached her ears.
Upon hearing the voice, Sheng Mingying turned around, her face instantly breaking into a loving smile.
He put down the afternoon newspaper, stood up, and asked, "You're here?"
Zhou Yi immediately came over, helped Sheng Mingying up, and said, "You're here, Yuyu is asleep."
Sheng Mingying chuckled and said, "That's good. Come on, let's go have lunch. Are you hungry? You haven't had breakfast yet."
Upon hearing Sheng Mingying's words, Zhou Yi realized that not only had she not eaten breakfast, but her husband had not either.
Her husband and she left together in the morning.
Immediately, Zhou Yi looked at the person walking beside her.
Wenren Chen's expression remained normal, and his eyes showed no difference; he did not look hungry at all.
Zhou Yi felt nervous and said to Sheng Mingying, "Mom, the master hasn't had breakfast either."
Sheng Mingying immediately said, "Ignore him!"
"He didn't do his job properly, so he deserves to go hungry!"
Zhou Yi had hoped that saying this would make the old lady feel sorry for her husband, but unexpectedly, the old lady blamed her husband instead, which made Zhou Yi feel even more upset.
Seeing Zhou Yi's distressed expression towards Wenren Chen, Sheng Mingying's eyes gleamed. She patted Zhou Yi's hand and said, "Come on, let's go have lunch quickly. You must be hungry, child."
"Mom had someone make your favorite dishes, so be sure to eat plenty later."
Sheng Mingying showed great concern for Zhou Yi, but completely ignored Wenren Chen.
It's as if Zhou Yi is her daughter and Wenren Chen is her son-in-law, so they deserve to be treated unfairly.
Zhou Yi listened to Sheng Mingying's words and looked at Wenren Chen.
Wenren Chen showed no sign of being affected by Sheng Mingying's favoritism.
He walked beside her, and she looked at him with concern. He took her small hand and gazed at her intently.
He could only see her.
The three of them went to the restaurant together. Lunch was all set up, with a table full of delicious and nutritious food. Sheng Mingying served Zhou Yi some food, encouraging her to eat more.
Zhou Yi felt that if she ate well, the old lady wouldn't blame the gentleman, so she really ate a lot, both vegetables and rice, which made Sheng Mingying's smile grow even wider.
This silly child only knows how to care for others, but doesn't care about himself at all.
However, with their loving care, they'll surely raise this child to be healthy and chubby.
Zhou Yi ate a very full lunch. Sheng Mingying and Wenren Chen kept serving her food, and her belly was round and bulging.
After lunch, Wenren Chen called, and then Song Xingwen brought over the documents. He went to his study.
Sheng Mingying said not to worry about him, and she and Zhou Yi went for a walk after dinner.
This is Sheng Mingying's daily routine. Zhou Yi will accompany Sheng Mingying whenever he is at the old house.
Today is no exception.
“Zhou Yi, your brother already knows about your marriage to Xiao Liu. Although he can’t accept it right now, he will have to eventually. Your sister is growing up and will eventually get married.”
"Right now, what I'm most worried about is that you've been deceived and that you're not doing well. I've just thought about it. Maybe in a few days, or when you've calmed down, I'll meet with you in person and have a good talk with you. I'll tell you how we feel, that we're not the kind of people who play around, and that we'll treat you sincerely so that you can rest assured."
"Of course, Mom will also talk to your brother about your wedding with Xiao Liu. We, the Wen family, will definitely not treat you badly when you get married with Xiao Liu."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law strolled slowly down the corridor, with Sheng Mingying gently explaining the solution to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi immediately felt nervous. After Sheng Mingying finished speaking, she suppressed her nervousness and said, "Mom, you don't need to worry about this. I... I will talk to my brother. I... I will find time to talk to my brother slowly."
Her nervousness was impossible to hide; Sheng Mingying looked at her as she spoke, clearly seeing the changes in her expression.
Now that she said this, Sheng Mingying smiled and looked understanding, saying, "Mom is not worried. Mom just feels that we should talk to my brother about this. It's what we should do. But what Mom just said was just an idea. It's not that we have to force anything. Let's discuss it as a family."
Sheng Mingying gently patted Zhou Yi's hand to comfort her.
Zhou Yi felt relieved and said, "Okay, I... I want to wait a while. My situation is different from that of ordinary families. This time I got married to my husband without telling my brother. My brother... is very disappointed in me."
Sadness and sorrow instantly flashed in her eyes.
Sheng Mingying saw it clearly and understood. She held her hand and said, "Mom knows, Mom knows. We're not in a hurry now. Let's take it slow and talk about it slowly once my brother has calmed down."
“It’s true that this happened so suddenly and it will take time, but it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Mom is always ready. Once your brother has recovered, Mom will talk to him.”
"A brother always wants his sister to be happy, don't you think?"
Sheng Mingying was very understanding of her and didn't pressure or force her at all. Zhou Yi was very grateful and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Sheng Mingying smiled: "It's alright, Mom. I just hope you're happy and joyful."
"Marriage is about happiness and joy, otherwise what's the point of getting married? And look at you and Xiao Liu after you got married, you moved into the old house, how lively the house is!"
Zhou Yi looked at the wrinkles on Sheng Mingying's face as she smiled, her expression full of joy and contentment.
Because my children and grandchildren are around.
She held Sheng Mingying's hand and said, "Mom, I will stay at the old house with my husband and Yuyu. We are very happy at the old house."
Sheng Mingying's eyes instantly lit up with laughter: "Great! Everyone's happy, everyone's happy. Your dad's coming back soon too. When he gets back, Mom will have your older brother, sister, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law come over. It's been a while since our family got together, and those little ones miss their little brother terribly."
When Sheng Mingying talks about her children and grandchildren, she can't stop smiling.
Zhou Yi said, "Okay."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and took a walk. When it was almost time, Sheng Mingying went to take a nap.
Since she had already made arrangements with Zhou Yi, Sheng Mingying could finally take a nap without worry.
With Sheng Mingying sleeping soundly during her afternoon nap, Zhou Yi felt relieved.
The little one was still asleep, so Zhou Yi went to see him and stayed with him in the nursery while Aunt Dong went to rest.
Wenren Chen worked in his study, and the afternoon passed by just like that.
The rain kept falling. It was pouring in the morning, then a light drizzle at noon, but in the afternoon the rain intensified again.
But it wasn't as fierce as it was in the morning; it was just a light drizzle that kept falling.
Time passed with the sound of rain, and the sky gradually darkened.
Night comes.
