“Because she and my mom are enemies…”
“Who told you that?”
“My mom told me…”
“What did she tell you?” Shen Mingxi suddenly realized that he had paid little attention to Huo Yanyan’s education to Tiantian.
“My mom said that Auntie Wei Ying is a bad person, so she will deal with her.”
“What else?” Shen Mingxi continued to ask.
“And… she wouldn’t allow Auntie Wei Ying to be with Uncle Shen; she’d torture her…”
Shen Mingxi inhaled deeply as he realized Huo Yanyan had concealed this side from him.
She had been crafty and scheming.
Compared with the crafty Huo Yanyan, Wei Ying was hot-tempered but didn’t play dirty tricks, which made her more forgivable.
Seeing Shen Mingxi’s dark expression, Tiantian put her cheek against Shen Mingxi’s cheek and said in a small voice, “Uncle Shen, I know now that you’re not with my mom, you’ll find another woman.”
“But you can have any woman but Auntie Wei Ying. She’s my mom’s enemy and will not be good to me… She’ll get me killed.”
“Tiantian, this is adult business. You don’t understand.”
“I don’t care. I just don’t want you to be with Auntie Wei Ying… Wu…”
Then she ran to her room.
“Tiantian…”
“Tiantian, supper is ready…” The housemaid Fang came over with the reheated pork bone soup.
But Tiantian knocked it down.
The soup splashed out and almost scalded the housemaid; she was startled and jumped back.
“Mr. Shen, what’s wrong with Tiantian? She’s acting weird…”
“I was going to ask you what’s wrong with her. Did someone come today?” Shen Mingxi frowned.
“No…” Fang was confused as well.
At this moment, Shen Mingxi glanced at the newspaper on the desk and saw the headline on the front page was a photo of him and Wei Ying.
It was one of the photos taken by the media before their wedding, and they looked quite intimate together.
But why did they dig out such an old photo?
Shen Mingxi picked up the newspaper and read the headline, “Rumors say Mr. Shen and his Ex-Wife See Each Other Frequently; A Sign of Reunion.”
Having read the article, he put down the newspapers.
“Who brought it home?”
“Sir, I bought it. When I went to buy groceries, I had a few coins left, so I… bought… some newspapers…”
“Tiantian doesn’t know all the words. Did you tell her?”
“No! No! I didn’t… She might have used some software on her cellphone. I really don’t know anything about it. Sir… I’m sorry… Please don’t fire me.”
Fang was new and didn’t know Shen Mingxi’s temperament. She was scared, thinking he would blame her.
“It’s fine. Fang, you go back to your work. I’ll go and check up on the kid.”
In fact, Shen Mingxi felt tired after working a long day at the company.
Now when he was home, he had to take care of a child…
Today, Wei Ying had gone to his company and chatted with him for a little while; then she left the pork bone soup and was gone.
She said it would be good for his recovery after the car crash.
To tell the truth, Wei Ying had changed into another person, and Shen Mingxi had a new feeling for her.
But Tiantian presented a tricky problem.
On one hand, Tiantian couldn’t accept Wei Ying; on the other hand, Wei Ying might not be able to accept Huo Yanyan’s daughter due to their turbulent past.
In the psychiatric recovery center under the Municipal Public Security Bureau, two young nurses were chatting in the corridor.
“Did you hear that Mr. Shen and his ex will get back together? The news has gone viral in the media…”
“Good. They match each other perfectly in looks and family background. They shouldn’t have divorced in the first place; it was all because of Huo Yanyan, the despicable mistress.”
Disheveled, Huo Yanyan was sitting on the bed with her back leaning on the wall; when she heard the conversation, her eyes turned sinister and cold…
