Chapter 235 My baby

In particular, the two sisters-in-law of the Wen family kept talking.

"Zhiyuan, isn't this Manager Wu amazing? How do your parents know her?"

"Yes, Zhiyuan, if you have the chance in the future, why don't you invite Manager Wu to our home as a guest? We're all from the capital, so let's help and look after each other!"

"Zhiyuan, if you have any questions about your studies in the future, you can ask your older sister. I can teach you."

"Yes, yes, Zhiyuan, you're not very familiar with the capital, are you? Your second sister can take you out to play in the future. She grew up here and knows it very well."

"Hey, our eldest sister knows this place well too, so why is it only our second sister playing together?"

Zhiyuan didn't say a word, and the two sisters-in-law of the Wen family were about to start arguing.

Wen Xiao found the dessert in her bowl almost inedible. Her two sisters-in-law were chattering away like flies, always putting others down and fawning over her! When she first came back, they kept praising her, but now they're even trying to curry favor with a little kid?

She tossed the dessert spoon aside, her face stern. "Are you done eating? If you are, then let's go."

The older sister-in-law was actually quite annoying; she had long harbored resentment towards her younger sister-in-law. Now, after finishing the soup in her dessert bowl in one gulp, she said sarcastically, "Oh dear, this soup tastes strangely sour."

Wen Xiao was so angry that her face turned blue.

She looked at Zhiyuan, who was well-dressed and had the same heroic air about him as his father, and felt very unhappy.

This was so different from what she had expected!

She imagined a country family adopting her son, dressed in rags, going a month without meat, and then she returning home in glory. All she had to do was beckon, and her son would run to her overjoyed, following her without hesitation! Why is it like this!

She felt she had completely lost face!

She even felt that her son had come to humiliate her.

Seeing that her expression was off, Grandpa Wen quickly came over to persuade her, "Don't be foolish. Aren't Zhiyuan's current parents well-off? Do I need to teach you which is better, a poor relative or a rich relative?"

Wen Xiao was stunned.

"Soothe the child! Coax him back!" Grandpa Wen whispered.

Wenxiao took a deep breath, ignoring the annoying whispers of her two sisters-in-law, and said to Zhiyuan with a smile, "Zhiyuan, let's go home and rest."

Along the way, Wenxiao talked to Zhiyuan about how much she had missed him over the years.

Zhiyuan listened to whatever she said, appearing very obedient.

Getting no response, she grew anxious and couldn't help but ask, "Zhiyuan, are you listening?"

Zhiyuan nodded, and then she continued.

As they approached the Wen family's house, Zhiyuan began to yawn.

Wenxiao smiled. "Zhiyuan, are you tired? Why don't you sleep here with Mom tonight?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Wen Xiao was overjoyed.

When they arrived at the Wen family's house, Zhiyuan was still yawning. Wenxiao said, "Zhiyuan, why don't you take a nap first? Mom will sleep with you, and we'll get up and have dinner after you've had a good nap."

Zhiyuan, carrying his schoolbag, said, "Okay."

Wenxiao was overjoyed that things went so smoothly. She helped Zhiyuan take off his coat and boots and led him inside for a nap.

Zhiyuan didn't forget to carry his schoolbag.

"What treasures are you carrying in that backpack? Can't you put them down even for a moment?" Wenxiao asked with a smile.

Zhiyuan nodded. "Yes, my darling."

Wenxiao treated him like a child's toy, and smilingly led him into the house.

"Come on, you can sleep inside." Wenxiao hadn't been with Zhiyuan for a long time, and she was a little unaccustomed to sleeping with her son. However, in order to win him over, she had no choice but to go for it.

However, Zhiyuan did not move. Instead, he stood there and opened his schoolbag.

Wenxiao looked at him curiously, only to see him take a photo frame out of his schoolbag, inside which was a black and white photograph...

"Zhiyuan! What are you doing!" she screamed.

The black and white photo turned out to be Zhiyuan's father's portrait!

Zhiyuan looked at him with eyes exactly like the person in the photo. "I want to hang up my dad's photo."

"Why are you hanging it up! No!" Wenxiao screamed again.

Zhiyuan ignored her. Seeing that there were no nails on the walls of the room to hang the photo, he took a stool, stood on it, and placed the photo on the dresser against the wall.

The person in the photo was already somewhat hazy in Wen Xiao's memory, but those dignified yet dull eyes staring at her now brought back all her memories.

"Zhi...Zhiyuan...Put...the photos away, okay?" Wenxiao didn't dare point at the photos, nor did she dare look at them again, and just said in a trembling voice.

Zhiyuan shook his head, "No."

Then, he took things out of his schoolbag again, this time pulling out several military medals.

I looked around, but still couldn't find anything on the ground to hang it on.

Zhiyuan walked to the bedside and picked up the pillow.

"What are you doing!" Wen Xiao screamed as she grabbed his hand.

Zhiyuan gripped his medal tightly, glaring at her. "I'm going to put my dad's medal under my pillow."

"No!" Wen Xiao looked up and met Zhi Yuan's gaze. For some reason, she felt that Zhi Yuan's eyes were exactly the same as those of the deceased Old Li!

She screamed and looked away, not daring to look at Zhiyuan. But as her gaze shifted, it met the eyes of Laozi in the black and white photograph.

Those majestic eyes, as if they were alive, were staring at her.

Wenxiao could no longer hold on and screamed as she ran out.

Grandpa Wen kept hearing her screaming inside and thought something had happened, so he came over to check. He found Wen Xiao stumbling out, looking very disheveled.

"What's going on here?" Grandpa Wen shouted. "This is absolutely outrageous!"

Just watching the child take a nap! And this is such a fuss! What kind of mother are you?

Wenxiao pointed inside, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face, "I don't want him anymore! I don't want him anymore! This child! I can't afford him! I can't afford him! Let him go! Take him away!"

"You scoundrel!" Grandpa Wen was furious! His Wen family needed this child to carry on the family line! How could they not want him?

However, no sooner had he finished cursing than Zhiyuan came out.

The little boy, with a schoolbag slung over his arm, was actually holding a black and white photo frame in his hands. When Grandpa Wen looked at the person in the photo, he turned pale. It was his deceased son-in-law...

Because Wen Xiao's screams were so loud, everyone in the Wen family was alerted. They followed Grandpa Wen to see what was going on, but when they saw the photo Zhiyuan was holding, they all took two steps back.

Zhiyuan walked out of the room and scanned everyone present.

Despite his young age, the photo he held in his hands showed him a face and eyes exactly like the person in the photo. Anyone who looked into his eyes felt as if they were looking into the eyes of the dead Old Li, and everyone shuddered.
