Chapter 18 The heavy responsibility is entrusted to you
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, let alone make you sad. I just wanted you to have a happy lunch."
Seeing Han Xiaoyue's tears, I felt distressed for no reason and quickly apologized to her:
"Excuse me, I was in my mother-in-law's study that day and accidentally saw this cooking ingredient list for four-color rice. I wrote it down at the time. I didn't expect it to be the rice that my father-in-law loves to make. I just wanted you to try it.
,I……"
I handed her a tissue and wanted to wipe her tears myself, but I didn't dare to offend, for fear that Han Xiaoyue would be disgusted.
Wiping her tears, Han Xiaoyue smiled at me: "I understand, you don't need to apologize, I don't blame you, you don't need to be nervous."
I nodded and said tentatively: "How about eating? You just came back from the provincial capital. After lunch, take a shower and have a good sleep."
Han Xiaoyue said hello, and she started to eat the food with her head down, savoring every bite with a long aftertaste. Rather than saying that she was eating rice, it would be better to say that she was swallowing the memories.
I ate with her, but she didn't say anything and I didn't say a word either.
After finishing the meal, Han Xiaoyue completely calmed down. When I got up to clear away the dishes, she praised me for cooking three dishes and one soup very well, and asked me to make four-color rice for her once a week.
"Okay, as long as you are happy."
Seeing her happy face, I suddenly felt relieved. I went to the kitchen and gave her another cup of warm soy milk, which I brewed from beans. It is rich in vitamin B and is good for Han Xiaoyue's dysmenorrhea.
I was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Han Xiaoyue was sitting in the living room holding warm soy milk. She took a sip from time to time, looked at me again, and praised me: "Ye Jing, you are very careful and good at taking care of others."
I smiled and didn't answer. This was my instinct, because I have been taking care of my sister since I was a child.
When I finished cleaning up and came out, Han Xiaoyue asked me to sit across from her and told me about her mother Guo Lanzhi.
"I have already negotiated with the provincial hospital and lung cancer experts." Han Xiaoyue looked worried: "Now it depends on my mother's attitude. What method do you think can be used to make my mother agree to go to the hospital for treatment?"
In fact, I have already thought about this matter, and my reply to Han Xiaoyue was very smooth. I said that I was too impatient to eat hot tofu, so I had to wait for a good opportunity to come up, and it was up to me to persuade the mother-in-law.
As for why I was the one to persuade her, it was because Han Xiaoyue and her mother couldn't exchange a few words with each other, and the two of them would get into trouble if they didn't agree with each other because of their strong personalities.
Just like on the wedding night, the mother-in-law slapped Han Xiaoyue.
And I am a son-in-law. Don’t people often say that the more a mother-in-law looks at a son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes? This fully shows that under normal circumstances, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law is easier to get along with.
Because the mother-in-law loves her daughter and the son-in-law also loves her daughter, the mother-in-law does not have to worry about her daughter being robbed.
This is completely different from the relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.
As long as I wait until my mother-in-law is in a good mood, I will try to persuade her according to the situation, be reasonable and emotional, and I believe that the mother-in-law, who is of good quality, will accept Han Xiaoyue and I. After all, we are both doing it for Guo Lanzhi's good.
"Okay, I'll leave the important task of persuading my mother to you!"
After hearing my analysis, Han Xiaoyue felt relieved. She added: "You are quite good at warming people's hearts. As long as you are sincere, my mother will not reject you."
The second half of this sentence made me feel a little uneasy.
What Han Xiaoyue doesn’t know is that just this morning, I was ‘caught in bed’ by my mother-in-law and beaten with a feather duster.
However, this morning was just a beautiful misunderstanding. As I am full of true love for my mother-in-law, I believe that people's hearts are full of flesh, and Guo Lanzhi will definitely feel my sincerity.
The matter of persuading the mother-in-law has been settled like this. Han Xiaoyue hopes not to delay it too late. Naturally, I also know the importance of it and reassure her that I will find time and opportunity to lobby the mother-in-law.
"You take a bath and get some sleep first. What do you want to eat tonight?"
I went to the bathroom, put hot water in the bathtub, and asked Han Xiaoyue, who was watching at the bathroom door.
She said she wouldn't have dinner at home as she had a dinner party to attend.
I didn't ask her who she wanted to have dinner with, but I told her not to eat spicy food or drink alcohol during meals, and to remember to take painkillers on time.
Then, I pointed to the guest room next to the master bedroom and said I would lie there for a while so that I wouldn't disturb her rest in the bedroom.
Han Xiaoyue said hello, she took the bathrobe and closed the bathroom door.
I went back to the guest room and lay down, using my mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Zhou Wu, mainly because I was concerned about him trampling on Li Wenzhe last night.
I heard Han Xinrui say that Li Wenzhe's family is rich, and it seems that Li Wenzhe has a Taoist background. I believe that Li Wenzhe will never give up.
Zhou Wu replied that he was very busy right now and asked me to wait for him.
I waited for more than half an hour before Zhou Wu said he was busy and sent me several messages in succession:
"You don't know, the big shot behind me likes Zhao Ruoxuan, so he sent me to protect Miss Zhao at nightclubs like Slow Bar. And Li Wenzhe is so lustful that he dared to take Zhao Ruoxuan's idea. I didn't kill him, so it's a minor incident.
Don't worry, brother, no matter how powerful Li Wenzhe's background is, he can only be counted as nothing in the eyes of my elder brother."
"Also, the three of us were all drunk last night, and I don't know when we exchanged contact information with Han Xinrui. This noon, I received a call from Han Xinrui, and she said she couldn't play with you anymore.
She asked me to spend more time with you when I have time. Brother, what happened between you and Han Xinrui?"
"Boy, you and Han Xinrui were flirting with each other while drinking last night, and ended up walking away together. Hehe, did you cheat on her and turn your back on her today?"
The first piece of news let me know the relationship between Zhao Ruoxuan and Zhou Wu's eldest brother. The big shot behind Zhou Wu likes Zhao Ruoxuan. I guess the gentleman who gave away 666,666 yuan last night is Zhou Wu's eldest brother.
Also, I can see that Zhou Wu doesn't take Li Wenzhe seriously at all. The big shot behind him must be very awesome. Think about it, if the eldest brother is not awesome, Zhou Wu probably won't be so ruthless.
Now that Zhou Wu has his elder brother protecting him, I feel relieved.
As for the last two messages, I was so tongue-tied that I hurriedly typed back: "Brother Wu, which of your eyes saw me flirting with Han Xinrui last night? Damn it, it was obviously you and Han Xinrui who were so intimate.
It’s like they are a couple.”
"Hey, Brother Wu, when we were drinking last night, I didn't even have the chance to tell you that in fact, I became a house-sitter for money. And my wife is Han Xinrui's sister. Tell me, how could I fall in love with Han Xinrui."
"Something happened, it was such a coincidence. After getting drunk last night, Han Xinrui and I slept on the same bed in a daze. But we didn't do anything. My mother-in-law caught us this morning. She was furious.
Please, let me cut off all contact with Han Xinrui."
I sent several messages, and Zhou Wu came back after a while with a smiley face covering his mouth.
After the emoticon, he sent another message: "I have to be busy again. Let's talk again when we have the chance. I'm envious. It's your turn to be a sister."
After sending the message, Zhou Wu sent a lewd expression, which made me shake my head.
Since he said he was busy, I didn't send it back to Zhou Wu.
That day, Han Xiaoyue went out to socialize and did not return to the wedding room that night. After I came back from visiting my sister in the evening, I fell asleep in the guest room in a daze.
The next day, Sunday, I was woken up by a call early in the morning. When I saw that the caller was Zhao Ruoxuan, I answered it immediately.
"Ye Jing, something big happened. Li Wenzhe just died in the city hospital due to serious injuries!"
Zhao Ruoxuan's frightened voice made me completely confused. What happened? Li Wenzhe died in the hospital.
So, didn’t Zhou Wu, who seriously injured Li Wenzhe, become a murderer?
