Chapter 399 Yu Wei'an's Show of Weakness
In the somewhat oppressive Yu family mansion, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
Every day, Tian Zhenzhen would appear in a hurry as if completing a task, simply "check in" and then disappear from everyone's sight.
During this period, Wen Huili's health deteriorated.
She was often tormented by headaches and could only lie weakly in bed for days on end, unable to get up.
One cause of this illness is that Tian Zhenzhen has been planting mental suggestions on him too frequently.
The more unwilling one is to accept this kind of mental suggestion, the more intense the backlash will be.
On the other hand, what was even harder for her to bear was the cruel reality that both of her sons had become disabled.
For a mother, such a blow is like a bolt from the blue, enough to exhaust her spirit.
Yu Jingshan's condition is becoming increasingly critical, and there is no time to lose.
Unable to contact Yu Chengan, the Yu family had no choice but to arrange for Yu Jingshan to undergo limb amputation surgery.
"Zhenzhen, how is your second brother? Mom is sick and it's inconvenient for her to visit him, so please go see him for Mom." Wen Huili's voice was weak, and her eyes were full of exhaustion and helplessness.
Not only was she physically too weak to stand, but deep down she was also unable to face her son's current miserable state and had an instinctive desire to escape.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll visit your second brother often for you." Tian Zhenzhen's lips curled up into a sweet smile, a smile as warm as the spring sun, yet seemingly concealing something.
She naturally wouldn't refuse such a request.
Seeing how sensible Tian Zhenzhen was, Wen Huili couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
In this gloomy home, recognizing his biological daughter, Tian Zhenzhen, is perhaps the only glimmer of light during this period.
However, thinking about how the rest of her family treated Tian Zhenzhen, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Your father and the others are not familiar with you yet, and they don't know your character, which is why they have some misunderstandings about you."
Yu Wei'an has been pampered by us for many years, so it's inevitable that she's become a bit spoiled.
But don't worry, Mom will always be on your side.
"If Yu Wei'an dares to bully you again, just tell me, and I'll teach her a lesson for you." Wen Huili's eyes revealed determination; she was resolved to be her daughter's strong support and would never allow Yu Wei'an to bully Tian Zhenzhen in any way again.
At that moment, Yu Wei'an happened to be standing outside the door, and every word Wen Huili said clearly reached her ears.
Several days have passed since she was beaten. During this time, Wen Huili was unwell, and Yu Wei'an stayed at home, taking good care of her.
Originally, she thought that by taking such good care of Wen Huili, she could make Wen Huili feel guilty and thus ease the tension between the two.
But when she heard Wen Huili say these words to Tian Zhenzhen, the expression on her face instantly became unmanageable.
Her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade; jealousy and anger intertwined, almost threatening to devour her.
But Yu Wei'an had lived in this complicated environment of a wealthy family for many years. She suppressed her displeasure, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door, then forced a smile and went into the room.
When Wen Huili saw that it was her who came in, the smile on her face instantly faded.
Despite having Yu Wei'an by her side for so many years, Tian Zhenzhen is now the most important person in Wen Huili's heart.
As long as Yu Wei'an promises not to target Tian Zhenzhen anymore, she wouldn't mind continuing to raise this adopted daughter.
"Vivian, what brings you here?" Wen Huili's tone was indifferent, a stark contrast to her usual doting manner towards Yu Vivian.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei'an felt a sharp pain in her heart, and almost let her fake smile crumble again.
Once, Wen Huili doted on her endlessly, but now whenever she appeared before her, she would be met with such a cold question.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger, and said with a smile, "Mom, are you feeling better today? I was just concerned about your health, Mom, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Yu Wei'an tried to regain Wen Huili's soft heart and favor by showing weakness.
However, the Wen Huili of today is no longer the blinded woman she once was.
After Tian Zhenzhen's series of methods, Wen Huili's feelings for Yu Wei'an have gradually faded, and the filter she once put on Yu Wei'an has been completely shattered.
Having navigated the world of the wealthy for many years, Wen Huili has seen all sorts of people.
Yu Wei'an's little schemes were nothing but child's play compared to her.
Previously, Yu Wei'an was doted on by several older brothers. Even if she had some ulterior motives, she was protected by others, and her image was very good in the eyes of outsiders.
But she is young after all, and once she encounters setbacks, she cannot hide her emotions at all.
At that moment, she herself was unaware that her mind was already in complete turmoil.
"The person you should apologize to is not me, but Zhenzhen."
Since I've raised you for so many years, I don't mind having another one in the family.
"But the premise is that you can't target Zhenzhen anymore. After all, you've enjoyed such a life of luxury for her for so many years." Wen Huili's tone was firm, her eyes showing no hesitation or pity, as if Yu Wei'an in front of her was a complete stranger.
Wen Huili's words, like a heavy hammer, shattered Yu Wei'an's heart once again.
She felt a surge of grievances and anger, and wanted to shout at Wen Huili: "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so heartless towards me? Is blood relation really that important? What about all the pampering and care you gave me before?"
But recalling the beating she had suffered before, she held back.
She has now come to terms with some realities, and in front of Wen Huili, she no longer dares to act as willfully as before.
Yu Wei'an turned her gaze to Tian Zhenzhen, and saw that Tian Zhenzhen was outstanding in both appearance and temperament.
A burning flame of jealousy raged within her, and she roared inwardly, "Why did Tian Zhenzhen have to appear? Why did she have to steal my mother's love? Why doesn't she just die?"
But on the surface, she quickly adjusted her emotions and put on a sincere appearance:
"Zhenzhen, please forgive me if I did anything wrong before."
I didn't know how to face you, which is why I spoke so recklessly.
"I'll be more aware of my place from now on, don't worry." Yu Wei'an's apology was so straightforward that it was impossible to tell what she really thought.
Upon hearing her apology, Wen Huili visibly relaxed.
Since Yu Wei'an has acted so sensibly, she doesn't want to dwell on the past anymore: "I hope you will keep your word. Mom doesn't want to see you two at odds."
Zhenzhen, please give Vivian another chance. She knows she was wrong.
“Okay, I’ll definitely get along well with her in the future.” Tian Zhenzhen readily agreed, but behind her smile seemed to lie disdain and mockery towards Yu Wei’an.
She knew in her heart that Yu Wei'an probably hated her to the core at this moment.
"Mom, there's something else I need to tell you. Tomorrow is Jia Nian's birthday, and the He family sent us an invitation."
"Dad wants my older brother and me to attend the birthday party." Yu Wei'an tried to make her tone sound natural.
Upon hearing He Jianian's name, Wen Huili was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
The marriage was arranged by the older generation of the two families.
Originally, Wen Huili didn't particularly value this marriage, but Yu Wei'an had been infatuated with He Jianian since childhood and spent all her time around him.
Over time, both families tacitly accepted the engagement of the two children. After all, given how much the Yu family doted on Yu Wei'an at the time, the marriage would not have been possible if Yu Wei'an had not agreed.
Looking at He Jianian now, he is outstanding in both appearance and family background.
Previously, Wen Huili thought he and Yu Wei'an were a good match, but now, she has a new idea in mind.
Yu Wei'an is just an adopted daughter. Such an outstanding young man should naturally be with Tian Zhenzhen.
“Yes, Zhenzhen and I will also be there tomorrow.” Wen Huili had made up her mind and said this without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei'an's dissatisfaction surged up again like a tidal wave.
She deliberately didn't mention Tian Zhenzhen before, hoping that Wen Huili would bring it up herself.
But to her utter surprise, Wen Huili, who was still ill, couldn't wait to personally take Tian Zhenzhen to the birthday party.
Does Wen Huili really value Tian Zhenzhen so much that she's afraid she'll suffer any injustice?
"Okay, but Mom, won't your body be able to handle it?" Yu Wei'an asked, feigning concern, making it difficult to discern her true intentions.
"It's okay, I'm much better now."
Zhenzhen, I'll have someone send you a dress and jewelry; you just need to dress up beautifully.
"That kid from the He family is quite nice. You're all the same age, you can get to know each other better." Wen Huili's eyes were full of expectations for her daughter. Although she had the intention of playing matchmaker, she also understood that matters of the heart should ultimately respect Tian Zhenzhen's wishes.
Her daughter is so outstanding, she naturally deserves the best.
If Tian Zhenzhen doesn't like He Jianian, she will choose a more suitable candidate for her daughter.
