Chapter 28: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!
Chapter 28: She Must Be Blind to Choose Her
She had practically ruined her own face!
Huo Xingjian could only endure the pain, pushing through it.
Shen Cheng, couldn’t you just keep quiet for once? Why do you have to blurt everything out?
Even the things in bed, you can’t stop talking about them so openly!
Can’t you give me a little face?
He took a deep breath, suppressing his resentment towards Shen Cheng, and turned back to the study.
“Xinglang is here,” Wen Yintong said with her usual gentle and loving expression.
“Second Aunt,” Huo Xinglang politely greeted her. “Xingjian sent me here. He said there’s something to discuss with me.”
“Mmm,” Wen Yintong nodded. “He’s in the study, go ahead. By the way, dinner will be here. Your mother heard about my injury, and insisted on coming to take care of me.”
“I told her it wasn’t necessary, it’s just a small injury. Your uncle can take care of me, but she wouldn’t listen. Now she’s in the yard with your uncle, killing the chicken. She said it’s to make me some food to recuperate.”
“Ah, I feel so embarrassed. These chores should be done by the house servants, and yet she insists on doing them.”
Huo Xinglang’s face darkened slightly but he still maintained the respect due to an elder. “Second Aunt, there’s no need to be so polite. The servants don’t take care of things with the same attentiveness as my mother.”
“Let her take care of you, she has nothing else to do anyway. This way, she won’t be so idle.”
“The most important thing is, you two will be together, and she’ll be very happy.”
Wen Yintong smiled lightly. “Now that you say that, I feel the same way. Your mother is the best at taking care of others. I won’t be polite then. She can take care of everything: food, clothing, shelter, and travel.”
“Please don’t be too polite with her, Second Aunt. I’ll go to the study to find Xingjian.” Huo Xinglang said with a bright smile.
“Go ahead, go ahead,” Wen Yintong nodded.
As Huo Xinglang turned, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of cold malice.
【Hahaha… So Wen Yintong can be so petty too!】
【Look at how she speaks, truly the queen of sarcasm! Clearly, she was upset by how Huo Yunshan had been blatantly protecting Yu Fengcai earlier.】
【But, what’s up with this family today? Everything feels strange.】
Strange! Of course it is strange!
It’s because after hearing your thoughts, everything became clear and they had an epiphany.
As for the compliments about Shen Cheng, Wen Yintong was thrilled.
Next, she went on to criticize Yu Fengcai’s cooking.
“Why is this so salty? It still has a strong chicken blood smell.”
“This meat is so tough! It hasn’t even been cooked through. I can’t chew it!”
“Ah! What’s this? This chicken is still not cleaned properly!”
“Big Sister-in-law, what’s going on? Why is the chicken so dirty? This isn’t your usual standard!”
“You used to cook so much better! What happened? Have you forgotten how to cook chicken after not doing it for so many years?”
“Forget it, forget it! There’s no taste at all. I won’t eat it. I’ll go eat out.”
“Chengzi, Yushu, let’s go.”
Without giving Yu Fengcai a chance to speak, the three of them left.
Yu Fengcai stood there with her face flushed red, full of resentment, her expression twisted in anger.
Her face went from red to white, then to a sickly green—such a sight to behold.
As for Huo Yunshan, he was no better off.
He just couldn’t figure out what was going on with Wen Yintong today. It was as if she had suddenly become a completely different person.
Not only had she become sharp-tongued and spiteful, but she also wasn’t giving anyone any leeway in her speech.
She had never been like this before. She had always shown great respect for Yu Fengcai, the big sister-in-law.
In the large living room, only Yu Fengcai and Huo Yunshan remained.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at him with a heart full of grievance.
At over fifty years old, Yu Fengcai still looked young, thanks to her good upkeep. She appeared to be in her early forties.
However, despite her efforts, she couldn’t compare to Wen Yintong, who was of similar age but much more refined in appearance.
If she weren't standing next to Wen Yintong, Yu Fengcai could still be considered acceptable.
But once standing beside Wen Yintong, she was immediately overshadowed.
After all, Wen Yintong appeared to be in her thirties, and her inner grace was something Yu Fengcai—who could barely be considered a novice—could never match.
As Shen Cheng had said, it was hard to understand how Huo Yunshan was thinking.
Any man with eyes would clearly choose Wen Yintong between her and Yu Fengcai!
Yet, he had chosen Yu Fengcai.
"Yunshan, what does she mean by that? Is she insulting me? I feel like that comment about the chicken was directed at me," Yu Fengcai said.
"How could she treat me like this? I've humbled myself and tried to serve her, and she won't even appreciate it. Instead, she speaks so harshly to me?"
"After all, I'm her sister-in-law! How can she be so disrespectful?"
"Yunshan, we've been together for so many years, and I don’t ask for much. But now, at my age, I’m being humiliated in front of younger generations like this!"
"How can I have any face left?"

Tears poured down her face like there was no tomorrow.
Huo Yunshan watched, naturally feeling a great deal of pain. She was his childhood sweetheart, the woman he still loved to this day.
This woman had given him everything over the years: she bore his children, endured humiliation for him, and even gave him advice.
Now, she was being scolded so mercilessly by Wen Yintong.
But he couldn't figure out why Wen Yintong was behaving so strangely.
Everything had been fine up until yesterday.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to comfort her gently, "Maybe she’s still shaken up from the car accident, still frightened and hasn't fully recovered from the shock."
"You know what kind of person she is, don’t you? She’s always been polite and respectful to you."
"It’s my fault. Earlier, in my haste, I just wanted to protect you, and I scolded her in front of the kids. Maybe that upset her, and now she’s taking her anger out on you."
"It’s okay, don’t take it to heart. I’ll smooth things over with her tonight. You know how easily she can be appeased..."
"How will you comfort her?" Yu Fengcai looked at him, her eyes full of tears, feeling aggrieved and pitiful, with a hint of resentment.
"Are you going to comfort her in bed? With that kind of comfort? Have you thought about how I feel?"
"Before, how you comforted her didn’t matter to me. Since we didn’t live together, I just told myself I hadn’t seen anything, I didn’t care, and I wasn’t hurt."
"But now, we live under the same roof. And you... Yunshan, how am I supposed to pretend I didn’t see it, how am I supposed to not be upset?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunshan froze, then immediately pulled her into his arms. "Listen to me..."
"What are you two doing?!" A cold voice interrupted. It was Huo Xingjian’s.
