Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Block That Old Witch Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Block That Old Witch Zuo Wanjun saw that the old master and mistress were stubborn, so she didn’t persuade them further.
The extended Bentley stopped at the door, its luxurious body slicing through the flower-covered path, spreading a fragrant aroma.
Two tall and handsome men got out of the car first. Shen Shushan had just reached out his hand when he saw Pei Jue bending down to offer his hand to Qingwu.
“Sister, what about me?”
Shen Shushan was almost in tears. At home, his older brother was always in front, so he couldn’t hold his sister’s hand. Now, there was even Pei Jue!
Qingwu held hands with both men as she got out of the car, walking to the side of the two elderly Zuo family members.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back.”
“Good, good, this is your home now too!”
Old Master Zuo Jing’an had seen Qingwu before, so he was calm, holding her hand and patting it.
It was the first time for Madame Tu Lan to see her granddaughter. She had mixed feelings about Qingwu because of her worries about Shen Shaojia. But seeing the familiar seven-part resemblance to Zuo Wanjun, Tu Lan’s tears fell from her eyes.
“Good child, you’re finally back. Last time, Grandma missed your birthday. Don’t be mad.”
Zuo Wanjun was startled, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying? Don’t scare Xiao Wu, let’s go inside quickly.”
Qingwu squatted in front of Tu Lan, looking up at the white-haired lady.
Tu Lan, a scientist who made outstanding contributions to Hua Country and never cried even when she received the National Medal of Honor, was now in tears.
“Grandma, I’m not mad.”
Shen Shushan leaned over, “Grandma, I’m still here. Don’t play favorites! Don’t only have eyes for my sister and not for me. You used to say you loved me the most!”
Tu Lan laughed at her mischievous grandson.
“Little rascal, who could ignore you? Let’s go inside; don’t let Xiao Wu get tired standing at the door. And Pei Family’s boy is here too, good, I love a lively house.”
Pei Jue politely handed a gift, “These are for you both from me and Xiao Wu.”
Zuo Wanjun watched Pei Jue and Qingwu standing harmoniously together, feeling pink heart bubbles of love floating inside her!
Daughter and son-in-law looked so well-matched!
She had been worried that someone with Pei Jue’s background wouldn’t care for Qingwu, but it turned out that the son-in-law didn’t mind at all and cared for Qingwu tenderly and meticulously!
Tu Lan and Zuo Jing’an only had one daughter, Zuo Wanjun, and they always treated her children as their own treasures.
At the dinner table, the family rarely sat together to share a meal.
Tu Lan looked at Zuo Wanjun and put down her chopsticks.
“Wanjun, you said before that you wanted to divorce Dongli? What’s going on? I came back late last night and didn’t get to ask, what exactly happened?”
Shen Dongli almost cried!
Oh no, his dear mother-in-law! He had just calmed this matter down, and Zuo Wanjun had agreed not to mention it. Now that his mother-in-law brought it up, Zuo Wanjun would definitely get emotional again!
Zuo Wanjun put down her bowl and chopsticks, staring intently at her parents.
“Yes, and I am determined to! Mom, Dad, I’ve thought it through. Before, I didn’t divorce because I loved Shen Dongli and because Xiao Wu hadn’t come home. I felt guilty, thinking how much it would hurt her to find out her parents had divorced.”
She looked lovingly at Qingwu beside her, making a firm decision.
“But I can’t stand that old witch bullying my daughter time and time again! Why should my Xiao Wu be at her beck and call? Mom, Dad, she badmouths my precious daughter right in front of me; I just want to slap her!”
Zuo Wanjun, who had always been well-mannered, never raised her voice and always spoke softly.
But when she mentioned Mrs. Shen, her eyes turned red with anger. Recalling Mrs. Shen’s criticisms of Qingwu made her want to cry.
Zuo Jing’an looked at Shen Dongli.
“Dongli, we really can’t intervene in this matter. Your mother’s actions are indeed excessive. All these years, Wanjun and we have tolerated it for you and the children, but your mother has shown no mercy despite our tolerance!”
Shen Dongli was desperate!
“Yes, yes, I’ve already discussed this with my father. His suggestion is to get a divorce tomorrow, so Wanjun and Xiao Wu won’t have to face her anymore. I assure you, this will never happen again!”
Zuo Wanjun snorted coldly.
“You assure? How can you assure? Do you know the person who called you last night got your number from that old witch?”
Shen Dongli’s eyes turned icy.
The Lin Family’s actions towards Qingwu were unforgivable to the Shen Family.
If Mrs. Shen, as a Shen Family member, indirectly helped the Lin Family harm Qingwu, he too, might be unable to forgive his mother!
“Honey, I will definitely investigate thoroughly. Don’t worry; no matter what she says, I won’t let her disturb you and Xiao Wu!”
Shen Dongli almost kneeled in front of his in-laws.
Middle-aged yet still elegant and handsome as the Shen Family head, Shen Dongli had no airs in front of Zuo Wanjun.
“Wanjun, I can’t be without you. If you want, we can stay here and not go back home!”
Zuo Wanjun softened at his tearful appearance.
She held Qingwu’s hand, feeling guilty.
“Sweetheart, if that old witch comes to you, just block her.”
“I understand.”
Zuo Wanjun looked at Pei Jue behind Qingwu, “President Pei, Xiao Wu is young and soft-hearted like me. Please take good care of her.”
Pei Jue nodded firmly, holding Qingwu’s waist intimately but appropriately.
“Rest assured, Auntie, Xiao Wu is my fiancée; I will protect her.”
Tu Lan, seeing their good relationship, smiled secretly and nudged her husband.
This old man, who last night was against Pei Jue and contemplated breaking off the engagement, now watched Pei Jue look at Qingwu as if she were a treasure, clearly seeing their strong feelings for each other!
“Wanjun, why doesn’t that mother-in-law of yours ever leave you alone?”
“She’s hoping her family’s niece can marry Shen Dongli, wanting her own relative to be the Shen Family lady.”
Talking about that made Zuo Wanjun roll her eyes. She extended her hand to show her parents the burn from Mrs. Shen’s unreasonable antics.
But reaching out, she found the swelling had disappeared!
“Xiao Wu, how is the medicine you gave me so miraculous? I thought it would take ten to fifteen days to heal! Bring me more next time, so I can use it if I ever get hurt again!”
“Sure, I’ll get it for you when we get home.”
Qingwu personally made the ointment for Zuo Wanjun; it was extraordinarily effective and worth a fortune on the black market as Ghost Doctor Chang Yue’s product.
But it held even more value when used for the Shen family.
She wanted to protect her family, hoping they would be happy and safe!
Pei Jue, feeling like part of the family, smiled as he watched Qingwu.
Whoever she cherished, he would also cherish and protect!
…
Lin Xuecheng just went to the restroom, and the Lin Family couple disappeared. She searched for a long time but couldn’t find them, so she booked a hotel room to sleep.
She had a film audition and needed a good night’s sleep.
To prevent the Lin Family couple from calling and disturbing her audition, Lin Xuecheng turned off her phone early and arrived at the set early.
Everyone there was preparing for the audition, and Lin Xuecheng was so nervous her hands were shaking.
“Ms. Shen, this way, please.”
Shen Yurou walked onto the set, glanced around at those competing for the same role, and sneered.
“This role, I’ve set my sights on it. You all can forget about it!”
