Affectionate trapping

Chapter 26 Strange Woman
On Saturday, Wen Xi went back to Li's house, stayed overnight, and planned to go to Shen's house the next day.

Because of the distance, she went back by bus and subway.

Before leaving, Mother Wen said, "Why don't you buy a car? It's so convenient to drive."

Wen Xi shook his head: "I bought it and didn't use it often. The place I live is not far from the hospital. One or two 10 minutes by tram is enough, but driving is troublesome. You don't know how much traffic there is when you commute to get off work every day. Damn, I look anxious."

Mother Wen scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who is right."

"Then you are going directly there now?"

"I'm thinking about it too, I'm afraid that it's time for dinner, it seems like I'm going to grab a meal."

"It's okay to have a meal, anyway, you have been out with her to play, and you are almost like your own daughter."

She said this with a sour taste, Wen Xi tilted his head: "Mom, you are here again, it smells so sour."

Mother Wen reached out and tapped her forehead.

"Didn't I tell you that I was afraid that she would be depressed? I told you that you might not believe it. I dreamed that my aunt suffered from severe depression and committed suicide."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"...I said it was a dream, and I am now planning for a rainy day."

"Well, plan ahead, let's go." Mother Wen raised her voice, "Old Wen, send your daughter to the subway station!"

"No need to send."

"Why can't he deliver it if he can? Otherwise, you have to take a bus to transfer. Please, let him take you there."

Come on, she doesn't struggle anymore.

When she walked to the door, what Mother Wen thought of, "By the way, your Aunt Mei asked you if you were looking for a partner a while ago, and said that she knew someone there, and the conditions were very good——"

Wen Xi knew what was going on just by listening to the beginning, and immediately stretched out her finger to cover her mouth, "Mom! I'm not in a hurry to find a partner, so don't worry about it."

"Look what's wrong, what if you see it right?"

She raised her eyes: "Yu Zhou brother just left, you let me go on a blind date."

"Whether he walks or not has anything to do with your search for a partner?" She paused, then frowned: "Didn't you say that you are just friends with him? You can't just find yourself liking him again after he leaves." ?”

"No." Wen Xi was helpless: "Didn't my aunt always think that I have something to do with brother Yu Zhou? Originally, she is uncomfortable and unhappy now. I can't wait to go on a blind date. What do you make her think?"

Mother Wen thought about it, and it was indeed the truth, "But it can't be like this forever, I am also very sorry that Yu Zhou is gone, but the survivors still have to continue to live."

"I know I know." She comforted Wen's mother: "Then it will be a while, okay?"

This was the first time she saw her parents after she was reborn. They were only her daughter, and they thought how sad they would be if she had left just like that without this time.

Maybe it will become another Yao Manqing.

That's why she wanted to help Yao Manqing more and was more patient with them.

When Wen's mother heard it, her eyebrows relaxed: "It's almost the same. If you can talk about it yourself, I won't worry about it."

She patted her hands: "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't be able to get married. It's that you have a stable job and a good life. Aren't I afraid that you will be alone outside? It's different to have someone to accompany you."

"No matter whether you can go to the end in the future, you have to try to fall in love, otherwise any man will coax you away with a few sweet words in the future, and you won't even have time to cry."

Wen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Father Wen waited a little impatiently: "Have you finished talking?"

"What's wrong with telling you to wait a while? I'm getting more and more irritable."

Wen Xi walked quickly over with her bag in her hand: "I'm gone, Mom, I'll come back later when I have time."

When she got into the car, Father Wen changed his face again and said softly, "Shall I buy you a car?"

She sighed and said, "Mother just said, I don't want it, and if I really want to buy it, I can buy it myself, I don't need you."

Father Wen is more serious, and usually doesn't talk much, so he paused, "I bought it for you as a dowry."

She looked sideways: "Why do you and my mother expect me to get married? Do you think I'm annoying?"

Father Wen froze for a moment and fell silent.

After a while, Wen Xi laughed out loud: "I'm kidding you, Dad, why are you so obsessed with being funny?"

After a while, Father Wen said in a muffled voice, "If you don't buy it, don't buy it."

Wen Xi turned his head and smiled again.

Before getting off the car, she told Father Wen again: "Dad, don't always quarrel with Mom."

"No quarrel." He said dryly, "I can't quarrel with her."

"So it's my mother who got angry and you are silent, right?"

"..."

"You might as well quarrel with her as soon as you are like this, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable."

He raised his eyebrows: "You don't let me quarrel and you make me quarrel."

"In other words, don't get angry all the time, there's nothing wrong with it."

After a long time, he hummed: "I know."

When the car stopped, Wen Xi unbuckled his seat belt, "Then I'm leaving, Dad, take care of yourself and be careful on the road."

It wasn't until she was out of sight that the car left slowly.

It was past nine o'clock when Wen Xi arrived at Shen's house by subway.

The moment she saw Yao Manqing, Wen Xi felt something was wrong. She looked haggard, as if she hadn't slept well for days and nights.

Shen's father was not at home, and neither was Shen Yuli.

Yao Manqing's lips were pale, and she squeezed out a stiff smile: "Here I am, I'm doing laundry, and I came over when I heard the doorbell. I guess it's you."

"There is still a little to wash, I will wash first, you go and sit."

Wen Xi followed her and saw some clothes in the basin.

She squatted aside: "Auntie, isn't there a washing machine? Why don't you wash it by hand?"

"I've been feeling headaches lately, especially when I'm free. I've mopped the floor several times, and I don't know what to do. Hand washing is also good and clean."

Thoughtful, she responded, "Washing your hands is cleaner."

Yao Manqing looked at her: "You don't need to look at me next to me, go and rest on the sofa."

"It's okay, I'm here with you, and I have nothing to do anyway." Wen Xi looked at her rubbed red fingers, "Why do you have a headache? Did you go to the hospital?"

"It's an old problem, migraine, I had it before, but I may not be able to sleep well recently, so it's a little serious."

She tentatively asked, "Did you suffer from insomnia recently?"

Yao Manqing pursed her lips, her eyes were black and blue: "When I came back from the mountain that day, I couldn't sleep the whole night and felt uncomfortable."

"What's the matter? Do you want to meet Brother Zhou?"

She stopped talking.

Wen Xi suddenly felt a little sad. He was fine at first, but when that strange woman appeared, he went back to before liberation, even worse than before.

So how did the other party provoke Auntie?It seems that he said bad things about Brother Yu Zhou, saying that he owed her.

It was indeed hard to hear someone say that about their dead son, but it couldn't go to this level.

And now Yao Manqing is obviously unwilling to talk about it, she can't find the crux of the matter, she can't hear her inner thoughts, she can't even find a place to comfort her.
