“Why is she grounded?” Upon hearing this news, Lian Zixin immediately grew anxious. “What happened to her? Aren’t you and my brother-in-law the ones who love her the most? Why would she be punished like this?”
Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
Then, she explained what happened yesterday. In the end, she couldn’t help but sigh again. “Wanwan!s temperament really needs some refinement. Both your brother-in-law and I share the same opinion. Moreover, being grounded is just a trivial punishment.”
“This is not Wanwan’s fault at all.” After hearing Lian Mengzhu’s account,
Lian Zixin immediately spoke up. “It was clearly a setup by that person called Ye An’an. Wanwan is young, and she fell for it. What you should do is comfort her, not punish her.”
“Zixin, what are you saying?” Lian Mengzhu shook her head disapprovingly. “Wanwan initiated this from the beginning. The other party simply took advantage of the situation. How can you say it’s their fault? I know you love Wanwan, but you can’t be so biased towards her!”
“Sis!” Lian Zixin said anxiously. “Wanwan has a strong sense of self-esteem since she was young. Now, being set up, she must feel uncomfortable. How can she handle it if you punish her like this!”
However, Lian Mengzhu remained firm. “Zixin, let’s not discuss this matter. Your brother-in-law and 1 have our own perspectives.”
“But, Sis…”
‘Zixin, let’s end this matter here.” Lian Mengzhu raised her hand and joked, “You, as an auntie, are really good to Wanwan. If others didn’t know, they might think you’re her biological mother, and I’m the stepmother!”
Of course, she was only joking. She understood why Zixin showered Wanwan with such affection.
“Sis, what are you talking about?” A trace of unease flashed in Lian Zixin’s eyes, but she quickly returned to her usual self and coquettishly said, “You know, I’ve always treated Wanwan as my own daughter.”
At this point, a hint of sadness appeared on Lian Zixin’s face. “If my daughter hadn’t died prematurely, she should be the same age as Wanwan now.”
“Zixin,” Lian Mengzhu quickly comforted her, “This matter happened a long time ago. Don’t dwell on it. Besides, you still have Chenlang, Xiaolei. They are also your children!”
After her sister’s child died prematurely, Lian Zixin’s health had not been good. Later, she gave birth to two children, Chenlang and Xiaolei, but couldn’t fully recover.
Not long after her sister’s child passed away, Wanwan was born, and she was a girl. Probably for this reason, her sister had always treated Wanwan as her own daughter. Sometimes, even better than Chenlang and Xiaolei.
“l know.” Lian Zixin’s face was filled with grief, and her tone carried a hint of sobbing. “It’s just that whenever I think of my daughter who died young, I can’t calm down.”
After saying that, Lian Zixin seemed unable to control her emotions and began to cry.
Seeing her sister’s sorrow, Lian Mengzhu wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say. She could only silently accompany her and hand over a tissue.
After a while, Lian Zixin wiped away her tears and somewhat embarrassedly said, “Sister, l…
“It’s okay.” Lian Mengzhu shook her head and said gently, “l understand how you feel, but the past is the past. You should relax. I think your daughter wouldn’t be happy if she knew you’ve been sad because of her. Whether for the living or the departed, you need to pull yourself together!”
She had already spoken these words to Lian Zixin many times. However, she also understood that some things couldn’t be resolved with just a few words. Nevertheless, she still had to say them.
Lian Zixin nodded, uncertain if she took it to heart.
Seeing Lian Zixin’s demeanor, Lian Mengzhu sighed and said nothing more.
“Sis, I’ll go check on Wanwan!” Lian Zixin smiled and said, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen her. I really miss her..”
