What's wrong with being love-struck?
Lin Shengyan shook his head, his face grave, and said, "There's no hope."
Lin Tingyue's gaze towards Lin Shengyan gradually became strange.
[Second Brother, how dare you, the originator of love-obsessed geniuses, say that other love-obsessed people are hopeless!]
Lin Shengyan: "..."
I misplaced my trust.
"You two," Great Aunt said, appearing before Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan without them noticing, "Since you like this vase so much, Great Aunt will give it to you."
Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan were both stunned.
[Ahhhh, I absolutely have to accept this incredible wealth!]
Huh? Feng Mu stared at Lin Tingyue's mouth. Lin Tingyue hadn't said anything, so how could she hear her voice?
Could it be ventriloquism?
Young people really know how to stir things up... Feng Mu suddenly remembered, was this the special ability Feng Chao had told her about?
This old lady is really keeping up with the times!
Feng Mu teased the two of them, "Oh, you're so happy, aren't you?"
Lin Tingyue nodded vigorously.
Feng Mu murmured, "Is one enough...? Probably not."
After saying that, she instructed the housekeeper to go to the storeroom and fetch another identical vase to be delivered to the Lin Family.
The Feng Family only had two sisters, Feng Chao Feng Chao Feng Mu Feng Mu. Although they were two children, their parents always treated them equally.
Having been influenced by his family since childhood, Feng Mu treated all the younger generation equally.
Upon receiving the message, Bai Yaxin arrived to find the vases already loaded into the car. Holding Bai Yaxin Feng Mu's hand, she complained, "You're going to give them the vases after just one glance? Auntie, you're going to lose your villa soon!"
Feng Mu chuckled and said, "If they want it, I'll give it to them. They're two young girls, as beautiful as flowers, and I'm happy to see them too."
Bai Yaxin couldn't do anything about it, "Just keep indulging her."
Feng Mu patted Bai Yaxin's hand, "I've always spoiled you, so of course I'll spoil your children now."
"Okay, okay."
"Something's wrong!"
The maid rushed to Feng Mu, and before Feng Mu could speak, her eldest daughter Wu Lingjing, asked, "What's wrong?"
The maid said, "The young master of the Sun Family is missing, and Mr. Sun is extremely worried."
"The villa is equipped with surveillance cameras. How about this," Wu Lingjing looked at Feng Mu, "Mom, cousin, I'll go ask around and then have someone check the surveillance room. You two continue chatting."
That's all we can do, Bai Yaxin to herself, "Okay."
Wu Lingjing walked towards the anxious Sun Family; both the couple looked very grim.
Those who witnessed this scene asked, "Is the young master of the Sun Family still so young?"
"You're ten years old this year, right?"
The man muttered, "Even a ten-year-old child who gets lost knows what's safe and what's not. Why are the Sun Family in such a hurry? It's like if they were a step too slow, the person would..."
"That's because you don't know. The Sun Family couple were fifty years old when they had this child, so naturally they cherish him like a treasure. More importantly..." The woman lowered her voice, as if afraid that the Sun Family would hear her, and pointed to her head, saying, "The young master's head isn't working very well here."
The person who asked the question first finally understood; no wonder the Sun Family was in such a hurry.
Wasn't it detected during your prenatal checkup?
Who knows?
Wu Lingjing asked Sun Mishan and Si Feilan where the child had gone missing and had someone check the surveillance footage of that area. They found that the young master had run to the kitchen with a maid, and since he didn't know the way back, he cried in distress. It was the kitchen staff who found him and guessed that he was one of the guests' children in the lobby, so they brought him back.
When they arrived at Si Feilan and Sun Mishan's place, Sun Lang was still sobbing uncontrollably. Sun Mishan felt terrible for him, so he knelt down to wipe away Sun Lang's tears, picked him up, and gently comforted him, "Daddy's here, don't be afraid, Xiao Lang."
Si Feilan's expression remained cold. "I told you not to bring him, but you wouldn't listen."
"Are we just going to let our child stay at home forever? He needs social interaction."
"Does he need social interaction? He needs a normal life. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be like this."
" A-Lan, the doctor said you can't get too excited. We're outside, can we talk about it when we get back?"
Sun Mishan pleaded humbly, but Si Feilan was unmoved. She coldly said, "So you know how shameful you are?"
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Sun Lang, his face a mess of tears, looked at Si Feilan. Even the hardest heart softened at that moment. Si Feilan reached out and took Sun Lang from her. " Xiao Lang, Mommy will take you to get something to eat. After we eat, we'll go back."
" A-Lan, I'll go with you..."
"Stop!" Si Feilan said with disgust. "I don't want you following me!"
Sun Mishan had no choice but to stop and watch as Si Feilan carried Sun Lang toward the dining area.
"What happened? I heard that the Sun Family couple has always had a good relationship."
"Yes, when Mrs. Si was pregnant, she was in the same prenatal yoga class as me. Her husband would take her to and from school every day. How did things turn out like this?"
"Is it postpartum depression?"
"Well, that's possible."
How could Si Feilan not become depressed? After giving birth, she unexpectedly discovered that she and Sun Mishan were married because they were close relatives.
ah?
Consanguineous marriage?
[ Sun Mishan's father originally had two older sisters and one younger sister. The Sun Family was very poor at the time and couldn't support three children, so Sun Family gave the youngest sister to a family in a neighboring village. That younger sister was Si Feilan's mother.]
Those around him gasped in shock upon hearing this.
[ Sun Mishan fell in love with Si Feilan Si Feilan first sight. After pursuing Si Feilan for half a month, Si Feilan agreed to be with him. The two were a perfect couple, but they married in their twenties and still didn't have children even when they were almost forty.]
[ Si Feilan had been pregnant three times before, but each pregnancy resulted in birth defects. After becoming pregnant with Sun Lang, Si Feilan went for a prenatal checkup with a mix of anxiety and joy. Upon learning that this time it was a healthy baby, Si Feilan was overjoyed.]
[However, after Sun Lang was born, he was mentally disabled. Si Feilan investigated and learned that this might be a result of consanguineous marriage. Suspicious, she began to pay attention to Sun Mishan's every move. One day, she overheard Sun Mishan on the phone saying that he would definitely keep it a secret from her and would take good care of her and her child.]
[What were they hiding? Si Feilan listened on, only to learn that her mother and Sun Mishan's father were actually siblings. What truly devastated Si Feilan was that her husband had known about this all along, but had kept it from her the whole time.]
Even today, Si Feilan can still recall the feeling of that day.
She went crazy, demanding a divorce from Sun Mishan. In her extreme moments, she even stabbed herself and Sun Mishan.
Her parents received the news and rushed over to see her.
Her mother held her hand, tears streaming down her face as she comforted her. She said that what's done is done, and they already had a child; they should try to live a good life. It was all fate's cruel joke, but at least Sun Mishan truly loved her.
Sun Mishan said the same thing.
He said the reason he kept it from her was because he didn't want to lose her; he loved her too much and couldn't get used to life without her.
So, under the guise of love, he stole her life.
Ten years have passed.
Aside from the resentment that occasionally surfaced, Si Feilan felt numb.
"This," someone couldn't help but whisper to their friend, " Sun Mishan is a complete hypocrite."
"Yeah, he's a complete jerk."
"He says he loves her, but that's just selfishness."
"That's true, but what about Si Feilan? Does she have to continue living with him?"
[If it were me, I wouldn't make that choice.]
[If you can live to be a hundred, that leaves you with fifty years. Are you going to spend those fifty years in resentment? Why not go and see the world?]
Lin Tingyue made up her mind and was about to walk towards Si Feilan when she saw Si Feilan stand up first.
Si Feilan brushed past Lin Tingyue Sun Lang over to Sun Mishan. For some reason, it was still the same face, but Sun Mishan felt that Si Feilan was particularly resolute at this moment.
" Sun Mishan, I want a divorce!"
Resentment burned fiercely in Si Feilan's eyes, becoming a raging fire.
Back home, Lin Tingyue hadn't even had time to take off her clothes before she dragged Lin Xiawan to look at the two large vases.
"Take off your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold if you sweat all over!" Bai Yaxin advised.
"Good."
Lin Tingyue obediently took off her down jacket, held Lin Xiawan's hand expectantly, and asked, "I wonder how much this big vase is worth?"
"I sent it to my boss, and she said it's too expensive."
It was so expensive that Lin Tingyue's heart skipped a beat. Excitedly, Lin Tingyue asked, "What is Sister Hezhu doing? Is she free? Why don't we invite her to our house?"
"I'll ask her."
Song Hezhu arrived quickly.
She used to have a sophisticated and glamorous style, with a striking beauty, but today she had a very rock and roll vibe, with the chains on her body jingling as she walked.
But upon seeing Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong, Song Hezhu instantly became obedient.
She took off her sunglasses and said very politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Lin Rusong smiled and nodded, while Bai Yaxin praised, " Hezhu, you look beautiful today."
"Right?"
Song Hezhu was flattered by the compliment and twirled in front of Bai Yaxin, lifting her skirt.
"Auntie, if you like it, I'll send you a set another day."
"Me?" Bai Yaxin pointed to herself.
"Yes, Auntie, I can tell you often wear cheongsams, changing your style every now and then, it's such a contrast."
While outwardly reading the newspaper, Lin Rusong imagined Bai Yaxin dressed like this... and it actually looked pretty good?
