Common Sense

Mr. Zhang said, “That’s different. Zhang Xun and Nuannuan have known about this since they were young.”
Old Madam Zhang snorted, “What, isn’t Huanhuan also your daughter? You spent so much money, but this is how that woman taught her daughter? She doesn’t even know simple common sense?”
“Mom,” he said awkwardly, “Don’t we all have nannies at home? Huanhuan doesn’t need to learn anything about that at all.”
“Why?” she said contemptuously. “The Zhang family doesn’t have nannies, is that why Zhang Xun and Nuannuan had to learn?”
“Mom, you know I didn’t mean it like that,” he said guiltily.
She replied earnestly, “Son, I don’t care about what you mean. However, you can’t even handle a bowl of water. How can you make Huiying feel at ease?”
“But Huanhuan only has good intentions,” he said helplessly.
She said, “I never said she did it on purpose, but aren’t you the one who decides whether her conflict with Huiying will deepen? Don’t even think about getting a divorce. If Huanhuan doesn’t want to stay at home, you can arrange for her to go somewhere else, but you have to go home.”
“I understand, Mom,” he said. “I’ll ask Huanhuan what she thinks after she wakes up.”
“Alright, let’s go in,” said Old Madam Zhang.
After saying that, they entered the ward.
As soon as they did, Mother Wang used a look that only she and the old lady could understand to tell Old Madam Zhang that Zhang Huanhuan had woken up but was pretending to be unconscious.
Old Madam Zhang was displeased. She deliberately said, “I’ve made Huanhuan suffer. Son, do you hate me for being unfair to her?”
Hate? He was a coward, but he also knew that his mother was doing this for the greater good.
“Of course not. After all, Huanhuan’s identity is indeed a little concerning,” said Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Huanhuan, who was pretending to be unconscious, was furious when she heard this.
Old Madam Zhang saw the girl’s eyelids twitch and mocked her in her heart.
She spoke up, “It’s great that you can understand my troubles. When Huanhuan wakes up, you can take care of her. I won’t stay here anymore.”
“Mom, you’ve waited for so long. Why don’t you wait for her to wake up before you leave?” he asked, confused.
She waved her hand and replied, “Huanhuan doesn’t want to see me, either. Besides, you two must have something to talk about, so it’s not good for me to stay around. Moreover, you’re usually busy with work. If it weren’t for this incident, you wouldn’t have had the time to accompany her. Take this opportunity to talk to her.”
“But at home…” Mr. Zhang said.
He wanted to say something, but he did not dare to.
Old Madam Zhang said firmly, “Huiying has attacked Huiying like this. If I don’t go back to settle things, the situation could be worse.Take good care of Huanhuan; I’ll settle the matters at home.”
“Sorry to trouble you, Mom,” Mr. Zhang said gratefully.
She deliberately looked at Zhang Huanhuan. Her heart ached as she said, “Huanhuan, this child, has a bad life. If it were possible, who’d want to be an illegitimate child? At noon, Mother Wang will come to deliver food. Make sure she eats. Also, don’t say anything else but take good care of the child.”
“I’ll send you off, Mom,” he stood up and said.
She waved her hand and replied, “No, stay here until Huanhuan wakes up. If you’re not by her side when she awakes, how disappointed would she be? Things have already been so bad for her.”
Of course, Zhang Huanhuan didn’t believe that the old lady would be softhearted. However, Mr. Zhang did!
Looking at his mother’s departing figure, he was very emotional. His mother was old, but she wasn’t as cold as before.

They left the hospital.
“Mother Wang, was that little sl*t really awake?” Old Madam Zhang asked.
“She definitely was.” Mother Wang nodded. “But Old Madam, was she really not touched by your words?”
“Who said she’d feel touched by it?” Old Madam Zhang said contemptuously. “She could potentially ruin Huiying; do you think a few words could move her?”
Mother Wang immediately understood. After thinking for a moment, she said worriedly, “Sir was indeed touched. He thinks that you treat Zhang Huanhuan coldly because you have no other choice. If she uses this matter to make him feel even more guilty and make him neglect Miss Nuannuan and Young Master Zhang Xun in the future, what should we do? Just now, Old Madam also said that she wouldn’t feel touched, so she might do something evil again, right?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t dare to do it right now, but I still have some tricks up my sleeve,” said Old Madam Zhang.
“Old Madam, shouldn’t we just stop her?” Mother Wang asked in confusion.
Old Madam Zhang smiled. “No, this is fine. If we stop her, it’ll only make my son think that I’m bullying her. Wouldn’t it be good to let heer court death and destroy herself?”
Mother Wang gave her a thumbs up. As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it was! That young girl was no match for the old lady!
