Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Second Uncle’s Guilt
"My mom, dad and I just came back from Grandma’s house, and I regretted not seeing you there. Now it’s just right that you are here," Shen Jie helped Han Yi and Lin Wan with two cups of malted milk.
"Exactly, Bo Jun also came back this time and said he hadn’t met his sister-in-law yet. He thought he could meet you this time, but who knew you came here," Fang Xin said with a smile as she sat down. Turning to Han Yi, she said, "You haven’t gotten hurt being away for so long this time, right?"
Han Yi shook his head, "No, everything is fine."
"That’s good. Try to take on fewer dangerous tasks in the future. You have your own family now and can’t just think about yourself."
"Hmm," Han Yi nodded without rebutting.
Fang Xin suddenly sighed, "Ah, we only found out about your relocation when we went back this time. I’ve been your Aunt’s sister-in-law for so many years, and I know her personality; she’s never one to suffer losses in any matter. This time it’s just for the sake of her children and grandchildren. Don’t blame her. She’s been like this for decades," she advised, urging the two not to have any estrangement with family.
"Second Aunt, I understand. There’s nothing we could do about it, and we’re not mad at Aunt," Lin Wan spoke sincerely.
"That’s good. If you have any difficulties in the future, just let us know. Han Yi’s military base is close to us, so if you go there, don’t forget to come by more often. Xiao Jie and I have relaxed jobs."
"Hmm, we know, Second Aunt."
Fang Xin chatted with Han Yi and Lin Wan for a bit, then went to the kitchen to prepare the food. Lin Wan wanted to help, but Second Aunt insisted she didn’t enter the kitchen. Just then, Second Uncle returned home.
Shen Xinghe chatted with them in the living room. After asking about the couple’s situation, most of the conversation was about Han Yi’s life in the military.
Shen Jie, eager to catch up with Lin Wan, took her to her own room to have a heart-to-heart talk.
In the living room, Shen Xinghe and Han Yi talked about Shen Qing.
"I also know about your mom’s situation. These years, your mom suffered a lot at the Hu Family. It’s all my fault. I was the one who brought about the marriage between your mom and Uncle Hu, thinking that Uncle Hu was a good person and that he wouldn’t treat you badly after their marriage. Who knew his mom was so peculiar? It not only prevented you from being with your mom but also made your mom suffer. I’ve been feeling bad about it all these years. Uncle Hu is so old now, it’s not appropriate for me to give him a beating.
Fortunately, this time the couple made up their minds and moved out of that wolf’s den. When I saw your mom and Uncle Hu this time, they hinted they wanted you to visit more often. Your mom’s had a hard life; don’t blame her. She’s still your mom, so go and see her in the future. Uncle Hu also hopes you’ll visit."
But this time, Han Yi didn’t nod immediately after hearing Shen Xinghe’s words. Instead, he lowered his head without saying anything. Seeing this, Shen Xinghe knew the kid was stubborn and refrained from persuading further, only sighing inwardly.
Shen Jie’s room had a pink theme, looking very cozy.
"Sister-in-law, I saw Shen Rong and her husband during the National Day. They seemed very shrewd," Shen Jie shook her head, "I don’t like them."
"Even if you like them, it’s no use, as long as Shen Rong likes them."
"Exactly, Shen Rong acts like a little bird in front of her husband, speaking softly. It gave me goosebumps."
Lin Wan laughed, "By the way, do you have someone?"
