Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 228: Yun Shan’s Thoughts

When Yun Xi came back from school, she often saw Chen Li and Wu Mei busy doing things together. She did not feel good about it.

Her mother was too stupid. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wu Mei was coming for Yun Shan. She was Chen Li’s rival in love. Nonetheless, Chen Li was the only one who acted as if it had nothing to do with her. It made Yun Xi anxious just by looking at her. It seemed that she had to have a good chat with her mother today.

In the evening, Wu Mei was busy cooking.

Yun Xi looked at Chen Li and softly called her to the master bedroom to talk about something.

“Okay, I’ll come over after I dry my hands.”

Chen Li even turned around and asked Wu Mei to pick the beans she wanted to eat tonight.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You two go and chat. I can do the work here.”

Wu Mei had a considerate look on her face.

“Mom, can’t you see that Wu Mei is using the excuse of being abused to stay at our house? In fact, she’s here to snatch your husband away from you!”

Yun Xi did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point with Chen Li.

Hearing her daughter say this, Chen Li was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, “Look, even you think this way. How could I not know?! Actually, on the first day that Wu Mei came, your father told me everything!”

Hearing Chen Li’s words, Yun Xi was also in a daze.

“That night, your father told me about how they were childhood sweethearts and the things that happened after they got separated. This is only a trick of fate. Your father received Wu Mei’s grace when he was young. Now that he saw her become so down and out, he feels guilty.

“Your father also asked me if it would be uncomfortable for him to let Wu Mei stay. In fact, what I like is your father’s attitude. As long as he’s not a playboy, no matter how others seduce him, it won’t be a problem.”

Chen Li smiled calmly, giving people a feeling that life was peaceful and quiet.

Seeing her mother like this, Yun Xi suddenly felt that she was clueless. However, everyone had to manage their marriage.

“That said, it’s more horrible to be targeted by the thief rather than being stolen!” Yun Xi still did not like Wu Mei.

“Oh, my daughter has really grown up. You think for me now.”

“Who said so?!”

Yun Xi muttered, feeling a little shy.

“Child, who hasn’t encountered a difficult time?! If you let her return to her home now, it would be a dead end for her. You saw her husband, Zhao Biao, the other day. He’s definitely someone who uses violence to solve everything. Right now, Wu Mei’s injury at the corner of her eye hasn’t fully healed. Even if she doesn’t get beaten to death when she goes back, she’ll be crippled by that man.”

Yun Xi agreed with Chen Li’s words.

“Fortunately, Zhou Lin was here that day. That’s why Zhao Biao didn’t dare to be presumptuous in our house. If it weren’t for Zhou Lin, what might have happened? Now that I think about it, I still feel a lingering fear. I think we should help Wu Mei. Compared to one’s life, everything else is secondary.”

Yun Xi was also someone who could see through things. After listening to her mother’s words, she felt that it made a lot of sense, so she decided to help Wu Mei this time. After all, they did not have any interactions in their previous life, so in this life, she could not just watch that woman die.

Despite that, if Wu Mei dared to do anything out of line, Yun Xi would not let her off.

When Yun Shan returned, Wu Mei had prepared the food for the entire family. She was even considerate enough to fill everyone’s bowls with white rice.

“Brother Shan, I’m really sorry. I originally planned to bring you lunch today. I thought that you wouldn’t be able to eat well at the pharmacy in the afternoon. However, when I left today, I met a mad dog and tripped over it. The food was scattered all over the floor. I felt guilty for not being able to bring it to you.”

Wu Mei compared Zhao Biao to a mad dog.

“It’s okay. I’m also used to eating the staff meals at the pharmacy. You don’t have to trouble yourself in the future.”

Yun Shan did not want to trouble Wu Mei. After all, he would still have to eat the food from the pharmacy after Wu Mei left.

“Brother Shan, you don’t have to be so polite. The two of us will take care of each other in the future. Oh right, try this eggplant dish that I made. It tastes very good.”

Wu Mei sounded flirtatious. Yun Shan looked at Chen Li with a guilty conscience.

“Thank you, Sister Wu Mei, for your good intentions.”

Chen Li was the first to speak.

Perhaps Yun Shan’s childhood sweetheart was his muse, but Chen Li, who was by his side and had children with him, was the one who would grow old together with him.

Yun Xi was quite satisfied with Yun Shan’s attitude. He did not make the mistake that most men would make. She thought, ‘Not Bad, not bad.’
