Chapter 503: Who could believe it?
Chapter 503: Who could believe it?
Even though Huang Xiaochuan had prepared himself mentally, seeing Yu Xiang's reaction made him realize that he had indeed taken some things for granted.
The matter of adopting Yawen into the Zeng family should not have been rushed. At least it would have been better to wait until Yu Xiang's side was appeased first. Now, things are in trouble.
The real issue that Yu Xiang was concerned about was not this, but rather her strong opposition to Huang Xiaochuan's plan to acknowledge the two children born out of wedlock, because it would harm the interests of her two biological children.
Although Huang Xiaochuan said he only left some messages or something for the two children, you can't trust these kinds of things. Sometimes, the gaps are torn open little by little like this.
The saying "once, twice, and thrice" comes from the wisdom of our ancestors who learned from many past mistakes.
Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan's eagerness to acknowledge the two children's behavior made Yu Xiang wonder if she had blindly trusted him.
He said the woman stole his tadpoles, but what if that wasn't the case?
Because of that period, in order to get pregnant, the two of them did not have sex for a considerable period of time before and after the pregnancy. As a doctor, I understand the physiological needs of men and women.
Yu Xiang couldn't help but wonder if Huang Xiaochuan had lost control of himself, which led to the birth of these two illegitimate children.
When people are angry, they are bound to think the worst of things. When they think like that, the possibility of Huang Xiaochuan cheating is magnified infinitely.
This is infidelity in marriage, which is absolutely intolerable to Yu Xiang. She is not only physically fastidious, but also psychologically fastidious.
With a cold expression, she began to pack up some of her usual belongings and clothes.
Huang Xiaochuan knew immediately that this was troublesome.
He tried his best to defend himself.
"Yu Xiang, there's something I need to make clear to you: I absolutely haven't done anything to wrong you. As for how to settle the two children, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand, and that was wrong of me. I just wanted to discuss with you how to resolve this matter!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiang gave Huang Xiaochuan a cold look: "Are you consulting me? You've already discussed it with your parents and aunt and uncle. You're just here to let me know, right?"
Huang Xiaochuan could clearly hear the resentment in Yu Xiang's words.
"But things have already come to this, we have to find a proper way to resolve this, right? Giving one of them to my uncle and aunt as their grandson would be a perfect solution!"
Yu Xiang felt like she was talking to a brick wall. He still didn't understand what she was thinking. Did this have much to do with whether or not to adopt someone? She pushed Huang Xiaochuan, who was blocking her way, aside, took out her phone, and made a call to Yu Wei.
"Come pick me up now, right now, immediately!"
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Meanwhile, Yu Wei, holding his phone, looked completely bewildered.
Tang Yuan asked him, "What's wrong? Who called? Why do you look like that?"
"My sister wants me to pick her up from her house? She sounds really angry?" Yu Wei scratched his head, guessing the reason.
Tang Yuan was also speculating: "Did she have a fight with her brother-in-law? My sister just got back a few days ago, right? They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, it's impossible, isn't it? Why don't you call back and ask?"
Yu Wei naturally wanted to avoid trouble; if he had found out the details, he might not have had to pick it up.
As a result, after making the call, Yu Wei asked a question and was immediately met with a barrage of unwarranted criticism from Yu Xiang.
Alright! I'd better get up, get dressed, and drive to pick up this lady first.
After arriving at Huang Xiaochuan's house, Yu Xiang threw her suitcase into Yu Wei's hand without saying a word, got into the car and closed the door. Yu Wei knew from this scene that the couple had quarreled, but in his memory, this seemed to be the first time.
He pulled his suitcase and asked Huang Xiaochuan, "Did you two have a fight? What happened?"
Before Huang Xiaochuan could even speak, Yu Xiang rolled down the car window and asked Yu Wei coldly, "Are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, I'll take a taxi myself."
Huang Xiaochuan gave a helpless wry smile, signaled Yu Wei to leave quickly, and then gestured to him as if he were making a phone call.
Yu Wei didn't bother to ask any more questions. He quickly turned around, got into his car, and drove off. He figured he'd find out why by tomorrow at the latest.
On the way, Yu Wei wanted to ask why, but it was pointless. Yu Xiang just kept a cold face and didn't say anything. The two siblings went home together in silence.
As soon as Yu Wei left, Tang Yuan asked the nanny to tidy up the guest room, otherwise there would be nowhere for his sister-in-law to sleep when she came.
Fortunately, Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying went to bed early, and since they slept on the second floor on the west side, they couldn't hear what was happening on the east side.
So the elderly couple didn't know that their eldest daughter had gone back to her parents' home late at night.
After tidying up the room, Tang Yuan went downstairs to the living room to wait.
Soon, Yu Xiang and her brother Yu Wei entered one after the other, with Yu Wei following behind Yu Xiang, pulling a suitcase in his hand.
"Big sister!" Tang Yuan greeted Yu Xiang warmly.
Yu Xiang forced a smile and responded to her sister-in-law, while Yu Wei asked, "Is the eldest sister's room ready?"
"Alright, alright!"
Yu Wei said, "Big sister, it's getting late. If you don't have anything to say to us, Tang Yuan and I will take you to your room first. Get some rest. You can tell us tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Yu Xiang nodded; she needed to calm down by herself.
Yu Wei and Tang Yuan escorted Yu Xiang to her room. After the door closed, Tang Yuan whispered to Yu Wei, "Oh dear, it seems my older sister and brother-in-law had a big fight? They've both gone back to her parents' house?"
Suddenly, Tang Yuan remembered something: "Huh? Where are my nephew and niece?"
Yu Wei was amused by Tang Yuan's expression: "Why do you look like you're trying to stir up trouble? The fact that Xiao Dong and Xiao Duo didn't come means this isn't serious."
Tang Yuan scoffed at Yu Wei's interpretation: "Tch! This seems to be the first time my older sister and brother-in-law have ever argued, right? It's your first time too, yet you act like you're so experienced. What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?"
Yu Wei was speechless; this woman's words were so scathing they could choke someone to death.
Neither Huang Xiaochuan nor Yu Xiang slept a wink that night.
Huang Xiaochuan was reflecting on his shortcomings in this matter, while Yu Xiang was unable to get out of the conflicting feelings of believing or disbelieving Huang Xiaochuan.
In the morning, Yu Xiang went to the hospital early. It was only when Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying were having breakfast that they learned from their daughter-in-law Tang Yuan that their eldest daughter had gone back to her parents' home the night before.
They couldn't help but feel a little worried. According to their daughter-in-law, this was truly the first time. They knew their daughter best. If something serious hadn't happened, Yu Xiang would never have done this. Of her three children, this eldest daughter was the most kind and gentle.
But what was the reason for their separation? They had only been back for a few days. The elderly couple was completely baffled.
Neither of the parties involved are present at the moment, so there's no way to ask them anything. The only option is to contact the in-laws to find out what happened.
Zeng Lijuan, who received the call, naturally guessed why this was happening, but she didn't know how to explain it to her in-laws. Who would believe her if she told them?
If Huang Xiaochuan weren't his own son and he didn't know him well, he wouldn't believe such a thing from anyone else, let alone his in-laws.
