Xuxu went to get their luggage .
"Your uncle insisted on getting them here?"
Jiang Qinglian's voice trembled as she spoke . It was as though she had been suppressing her emotions with Xuxu's presence earlier on .
Xuxu stopped at where she was .
Yan Rusheng answered, "Regarding this matter, I will definitely seek your opinion . "
He was sincere and earnest .
Overwhelmed, Jiang Qinglian suddenly grabbed Yan Rusheng's arm . She seemed to be pleading with him . "Xiaosheng, I don't wish to see them . "
She knew that if Yan Weiye were to fetch them back, he wouldn't bring them to C City . Instead, he would arrange for them to stay in the Capital City and to enter Flourish & Prosper .
Therefore, Yan Weiye would still need Yan Rusheng to agree .
"Alright, I understand . " Yan Rusheng promptly nodded and gave her a reassuring smile . "No matter what First Uncle's request is, I will stand on your side . "
"Xiaosheng, thank you . " Instead of feeling relieved or happy, Jiang Qinglian frowned when she heard Yan Rusheng's promise . She bowed her head and sighed heavily . "But if that's the case, your uncle might go over to them instead . "
She didn't want her husband to leave her .
By then, Xuxu thought that women are really foolish .
First Aunt still couldn't bear to leave First Uncle despite knowing the truth .
She thought to herself, "If First Uncle were to return to her right now, First Aunt would definitely reconcile with him regardless of his affair or his illegitimate children . "
But even if she was this forgiving and even… so submissive, the man didn't even budge .
She had seen so many rich men in her life . Regardless of their age, it seemed that only Aunt Mu Li and Second Uncle seemed to be the only couple that had remained steadfast to each other .
"Yan Rusheng, will you make the same mistake someday?" If one day he would find out that a woman had his child before, and that she couldn't give birth to a child in the future .
What would he do?
She used to understand him very well, but now that she wasn't a mere onlooker, she couldn't be certain anymore .
"I've already said that I'm on your side . " Yan Rusheng still insisted in an unyielding tone .
To Jiang Qinglian, that reassurance from him was paramount . Although they weren't fighting over the family fortune, it doesn't mean that they don't care at all .
Furthermore, the people who will share the inheritance with them were her husband's mistress and her children . She had already snatched her husband away, was she intending to take away the family fortune and property as well? She couldn't take it lying down .
Jiang Qinglian fell silent for a moment before speaking once more . "Are they doing well?"
Yan Rusheng quipped, "Their finances are stable . "
Jiang Qinglian wore a rather mocking smile . "Why shouldn't they be? Your uncle flies there so often and it has been some time since I've last seen him . "
A woman like her was considered a complete failure .
Yan Rusheng didn't know how to console someone, and he was usually a reticent man . Today he had spoken so much to reassure Jiang Qinglian, and it somehow had substantially consoled her .
He said, "Rest early, tomorrow I'll ask Xuxu to tour you around tomorrow . "
He stood up and walked towards the door .
Xuxu heard his footsteps, and she walked inside . She glanced at Jiang Qinglian .
Jiang Qinglian stood up and smiled weakly . "I'll go up and rest now . Both of you should turn in early too . "
She turned around and left .
Xuxu tiptoed to whisper in Yan Rusheng's ear . She warned him and reproached, "Yan Rusheng, you've promised to stand on First Aunt's side . Don't you dare waver . "
