The more Tang Yan Yi spoke , the more worried Shen Wan became, so she pursued, "No matter what it is, Xiao Yi, you should quickly tell Third Aunt!"
Tang Yan Yi slowly raised her eyes, "Third Aunt, Xiang Yuan and Shi Nian have suddenly separated. Coincidentally or not, it happened right after my big brother went to protect them."
Hearing this, Shen Wan was also startled.
"How could this be? From what Xiang Jingsheng said, his son and daughter-in-law have a very good relationship. They’ve been married for four years and haven’t even quarreled once."
"Yes, that’s what I’ve heard too. Even Shi Nian’s colleagues said that just a few days ago, Xiang Yuan was still sending flowers to Shi Nian and taking Shi Nian out for romantic lunches. Xiang Yuan was absolutely attentive to Shi Nian. When I visited the Xiang Family, I saw Xiang Yuan’s attitude towards Shi Nian myself—one could only describe him as the perfect husband, flawless."
Leaving Xiang Yuan’s home that day, she gave Ye He a ride for a while. Originally, Ye He was very hostile towards her, but Tang Yan Yi endured it. On the way, she used all her ability to make Ye He reduce her prejudice against her quite a bit. Later, when she seemed to unintentionally inquire about Shi Nian’s affairs with Ye He, Ye He was willing to say a few words.
Especially that evening, when Ye He also heard about Xiang Yuan and Shi Nian’s separation, she was also very puzzled and couldn’t help but grumble to Tang Yan Yi about the flowers and lunch.
Tang Yan Yi quietly observed Shen Wan’s expression, "Logically, there shouldn’t be any issues with their relationship, it’s just unclear why they suddenly decided to separate."
He is Tang Yanqing’s biological mother, and she’s known her own son’s ways for many years. Not to mention anything else, even a female mid-level manager at her company, after seeing Tang Yanqing no more than three times, went home and told her boyfriend she wanted to break up.
Her son always unknowingly creates romantic debts, and while he may not care, as his mother, she cannot pretend not to understand.
Tang Yan Yi cautiously gauged Shen Wan’s expression, took a deep breath, opened her mouth to speak, but stopped.
Shen Wan looked over nervously, "Xiao Yi, don’t hide from me. Whatever else there is, you can tell me everything."
Tang Yan Yi was very troubled, "...Third Aunt, let it go. I’m sure my big brother has his reasons, maybe I’m overthinking."
The more Tang Yan Yi spoke , the more Shen Wan could not let it go.
"Xiao Yi, I know you’ve always protected your big brother since you were little, taking the blame for his mistakes... But now you’ve both grown up, and right and wrong must be distinguished. Xiao Yi, Third Aunt understands your intentions, but you can’t keep covering for your big brother."
Tang Yan Yi was extremely troubled and had to say, "...The news about Xiang Yuan and Shi Nian’s separation was not disclosed by the two people involved themselves, but instead it was my big brother who said it."
"Third Aunt, I’m really curious. How could my big brother know such a private matter at the same time as the people involved? Moreover, when the two people involved didn’t want to publicize it, why would my big brother speak it for them?"
Shen Wan put down the photo album and stood up abruptly, "He really did that?"
The two were so focused on their conversation that they didn’t know someone was standing outside the door.
Xiang Yuan’s father, Xiang Jingsheng, financial advisor to Tang Mingyi’s election team, originally came to find Shen Wan to discuss election funding issues, but unexpectedly heard the discussion inside about Xiang Yuan and Shi Nian’s separation, so he stood frozen at the door.
His son and daughter-in-law had been married for four years, and their relationship had always been good, except for his wife Guo Zhengmei, who always deliberately picked on the daughter-in-law’s faults... How could they suddenly say they separated? Moreover, the son hasn’t said a word to them before and after. The most update n0vels are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
After work, Xiang Jingsheng returned home with a heavy heart.
Upon entering, Third Granny came to take his briefcase, saying that the wife was upstairs.
Xiang Jingsheng didn’t rush upstairs; instead, he asked Third Granny, "Recently, has Shi Nian been here?"
Xiang Jingsheng accompanied Tang Mingyi on a statewide campaign tour, which lasted for more than half a month last time, leaving him with little attention to domestic affairs.
The attitude of the Xiang Family’s old couple towards their daughter-in-law was different. Guo Zhengmei always picked Shi Nian’s faults, while Xiang Jingsheng always defended Shi Nian, considering her as part of the family.
So Third Granny carefully glanced upstairs and lowered her voice to say, "She came, and even specially brought the bird’s nest that Madam usually eats. The bird’s nest is out of stock in the city, so Young Madam must have gone to the neighboring city to buy it. However, she got scolded by Madam, and left crying."
