A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 42 "Did she get a new boyfriend in just one day?"

She had thought that this girl came from a scholarly family, was well-educated and reasonable, and had a beautiful face. Apart from being too frail, she would be an excellent daughter-in-law.

I never expected... I never expected... she actually misjudged him!
In Shen's mother's eyes, the current scene was no different from 'catching someone in bed with another man'.

Upon hearing her question, Tang Wanwan, who was initially flustered and embarrassed by her ex-boyfriend's mother demanding an explanation, suddenly calmed down.

She pursed her lips and said seriously, "I broke up with Shen Xianyu last night."

"separate?"

Mrs. Shen frowned deeply, "You came to the hospital to see the old man yesterday, and you went back tonight..."

She stopped speaking at this point, clearly remembering her attitude in the hospital room yesterday.

So, could the reason for the two children's breakup be related to her?

So, even if they broke up last night, she's already found someone new in just one night?
The object of her affections was her son's best friend.

Betrayed by both her girlfriend and her best friend, how heartbroken must her foolish son be?

Shen's mother's face was frighteningly ugly. She stared at Tang Wanwan and asked, "Are you blaming me for what I said yesterday, and did this on purpose?"

She didn't doubt Tang Wanwan's feelings for her son; that was the only reason she could find.

Out of revenge, she broke up with her son and then hooked up with his best friend.

However, Tang Wanwan still shook her head, "I think what Auntie said yesterday was right, but that's not a reason for me to be with Jiang Yanzhi."

She could have the idea of ​​breaking up with Shen Xianyu because of what Shen Xianyu's mother said.

But she won't harbor hatred because of this, and won't choose to be with Jiang Yanzhi to get revenge.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhi, who had been observing from the sidelines, smiled. He looked at Shen's mother, nodded slightly to show his politeness, and said, "Auntie, Wanwan and I are truly in love."

……

When he spoke, everyone in the room fell silent for a moment.

It's true that when the words "love and affection" come from the mouth of the aloof and arrogant Young Master Jiang, there's an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

Shen's mother's lips twitched. "Xianyu treats you as his best brother."

“That’s right,” Jiang Yanzhi said without changing his expression, “but he and Wanwan are not a good match and have already broken up, so I’m not stealing someone else’s love.”

Specious arguments!

Mrs. Shen laughed in exasperation, and the words of reprimand were about to come out when Mr. Shen, who was not far away, called out to her.

"Alright," said Old Master Shen, "Since you didn't agree to the children's relationship yesterday, don't get involved anymore."

They disliked the girl's poor health and were unwilling to let their own child get engaged.

Now that the girl has chosen to break up, even if she finds someone else, who has the right to criticize her?

Shen's mother felt a lump in her throat, but she had no choice but to back down after her father-in-law spoke up.

Old Master Shen looked over from afar and landed on Tang Wanwan.

Tang Wanwan, who could speak frankly to Shen's mother, felt extremely uncomfortable in front of this kind old woman.

She lowered her head slightly and called out, "Grandpa."

The voice carried a hint of shame.

Jiang Yanzhi, standing next to him, was equally courteous, addressing him as a junior.

Old Master Shen stared at them for a while, then sighed deeply, shook his head gently, and went into the examination room without saying anything.

The old man's sigh made Tang Wanwan feel uneasy.

She sniffed, pursed her lips, looked at the last member of the Shen family, hesitated for a moment, and then called out, "...Uncle."

Shen Zhixing remained motionless, as if he were deeply shocked, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

After a long while, he stepped forward, stared at her lowered eyelashes, and asked, "You really broke up?" Tang Wanwan nodded and softly hummed in agreement.

“…” Shen Zhixing remained silent.

When he spoke again, his meaning was ambiguous: "You've got a new boyfriend in just one day?"

This time, Jiang Yanzhi noticed something amiss.

He reached out and pulled the girl next to him behind him, raising an eyebrow slightly and asking indifferently, "Do you have a problem with us being together?"

These words were quite defiant. Tang Wanwan regarded Shen Zhixing as an elder, and seeing him speak to the other party like that, she was so anxious that she kept tugging at his clothes.

Jiang Yanzhi took her hand, turned to look at her, and seeing how anxious she was, he simply wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He leaned down slightly and asked with a smile, "What's the rush? Hmm?"

"Are you hungry? We'll go eat after we see your uncle off."

"No!" Tang Wanwan glared at him and earnestly taught him, "Your uncle is an elder, you should be more polite to him!"

"..." Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He tilted his head to look at Shen Zhixing, and seeing his stiff expression, his smile deepened. He asked very politely, "Would you like to come eat with us, Uncle?"

Shen Zhixing ignored his provocation and kept his gaze fixed on Tang Wanwan's masked face.

Eyes facing each other.

He lowered his voice, "You know what you're doing, don't you?"

Tang Wanwan was taken aback, then slowly nodded, "I know."

She said she knew.

Shen Zhixing heard it clearly, but he still couldn't believe it.

He has known her for three years, watching her grow from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl into the poised, elegant, and beautiful woman she is today.

The Tang family were all scholars, and their daughter was well-educated and polite. Because of her poor health, she had even less contact with the frivolous world outside.

She was as pure and clean as jade, a kind of simple purity that seemed out of place in modern society.

Seamlessly taking over her boyfriend's best friend's services is something that doesn't seem like something a well-behaved girl who has followed the rules since childhood would do.

If I had known she had such courage, daring to defy the gossip and rumors around her...

Shen Zhixing stopped his thoughts, stared at the person in front of him, and suddenly remembered a question, "So where do you live now?"

"There's no need for 'Uncle' to trouble himself with that,"

Before Tang Wanwan could speak, Jiang Yanzhi spoke first.

He emphasized the words "little uncle" heavily, yet a faint smile remained on his face.

He said, word by word, "Anyway, I would never let my girlfriend stay anywhere else."

Shen Zhixing's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up and stared straight at him.

The air instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.

Even Tang Wanwan, who was usually oblivious, sensed it. She frowned and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Fight?
She's been seeing nothing but fighting these past two days, that won't do.

Shen Zhixing took a deep breath and looked back at Tang Wanwan. "You're all alone in the capital. Even if you broke up with Xianyu, given my relationship with your parents, I should take care of you. It's too hasty for you to start living together so soon after you got together."

“I own an apartment near University A. The security is good, and I’ve arranged a nanny for you. You can move in anytime.”

This man, who is usually very sparing with words, is now going on and on, rambling on and on, making everyone's head spin.

Out of respect for her elders, Tang Wanwan did not interrupt. After listening patiently, she first thanked them sincerely and then said, "Uncle, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

She really is... just like a rebellious teenage girl who won't listen to reason.
