Chapter 333: Chapter 333 This Just Got Complicated

Xi Wanfen’s moments in her social media feed always have pictures of the two of them, regularly flaunting their love like throwing dog food to the public.

"Mom, I..." Xiao Fen was hurt, and all she wanted now was to lean on Li Shirui’s chest.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Li Shirui didn’t rush her, letting her talk when she was ready.

In the end, Xi Wanfen couldn’t help it, "Mom, Zhan Bai’s parents came."

"Hmm, and then?" Li Shirui asked with her arms around her shoulders.

"They... they don’t seem to like me much."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"They say I’m not virtuous enough, that I can’t do housework, and they’re afraid that I won’t even be able to take care of children in the future."

Li Shirui said with a smile, "Their concerns are not without reason; if I were them, I’d worry too. Tell me, do you know how to do any of these things?"

"But..." Xi Wanfen said with a sense of grievance: "I honestly don’t, but they are too picky, sigh, I can’t explain it to you."

Li Shirui said: "You wish they would always pamper you, forever treat you like a child, right? But Xiao Fen, no one is obligated to do that, especially in your husband’s family; a father-in-law and mother-in-law are not your own parents."

Xi Wanlin retorted with dissatisfaction, "So after a girl gets married, she should become a nanny in someone else’s home?"

"That’s not necessarily the case. Each family has its own demands; some families have such expectations, and some do not; it’s all about what you choose. Besides, whether a marriage is happy is most importantly about how your husband treats you. If he is weak, you will suffer in the future. This is why we advised you not to get married too early and to take more time to see."

Xi Wanfen said: "I feel that Zhan Bai... he stands by me."

Li Shirui smiled, "Who he stands with is still uncertain; the same old advice, you’re still young, no rush to get married."

...

Liang Zhan Bai was working the day shift that day, and when he got home at night and heard that Xi Wanfen hadn’t come back all day, he couldn’t help but give Xi Wanfen a call.

"Xiao Fen, why didn’t you come home today?"

"I’m at my mom’s, there’s something going on here, I forgot to tell you."

"Oh, I see, my parents thought we had a fight because you didn’t come back."

Xi Wanfen didn’t speak, so Liang Zhan Bai asked again, "So, when will you come back?"

After thinking, Xi Wanfen said, "I might not come back these next few days, I’ll return after your parents leave."

Liang Zhan Bai clearly disagreed; he didn’t speak, but his silence spoke volumes. After a while, he said, "Okay, let’s do that then."

Xi Wanfen’s heart sank.

She wondered if she had done something wrong.

Seeing her morale was low, Li Shirui asked again, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Fen said, "I told him I won’t be going back for a few days, and Zhan Bai seemed to get angry."

Li Shirui smiled and said, "If it were me, I’d be angry too. You moved in with him, and when his parents come over, you just run back here?"

"So should I go back and keep them company?"

"Of course, if you run back here without saying a word, even if you are in the right, you come off as being in the wrong. People will think that our family has no manners."

After thinking it over, Xi Wanfen decided she had to go back.

As she arrived at the apartment door, she could hear Mr. Liang criticizing her again: "...There are so many doctors and nurses in your hospital, couldn’t you find someone better than her? Yes, her father is a high-ranking official, but no matter how high his position, that doesn’t justify overly spoiling a daughter. Once she gets married into someone else’s family, she’ll have to adapt no matter what!"

Mrs. Liang had already started crying, "I feel like we’ve been good to her. I haven’t asked her to do any chores these days, and yet, she just leaves without a word. If she doesn’t like us, she could just say so; why must she act this way?"

At this moment, Xi Wanfen walked into the house.

She couldn’t hide her emotions, and upon entering, she forced down her sadness and called out, "Uncle, auntie, I’m back."

Mrs. Liang wiped away her tears and put on a smiling face again, "You’re back? Have you had dinner? There’s still food for you in the fridge."

Xi Wanfen said, "I’ve eaten already. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my room. I have a night shift at 11 pm."

She didn’t want to keep up the act anymore.

Just as she returned to her room, Liang Zhanbai followed her in.

The couple spoke behind closed doors.

Liang Zhanbai asked her, "Did you hear what my parents said just now?"

"I heard it."

"Don’t blame them, they’re just worried in the heat of the moment, thinking you don’t like them."

"I don’t blame them."

Xi Wanfen thought for a moment, then added, "I also heard what they said this morning, they mentioned the house should be bought before marriage."

Liang Zhanbai hurriedly explained, "Don’t listen to their nonsense, I had no such thought. I’ve told you before, I’ll take care of the down payment and the mortgage, but I will never take advantage of you."

Xi Wanfen said, "Your parents also said that after we get married, they’ll come and live with us."

Liang Zhanbai fell silent for a moment, "You don’t want to live with my parents? They are good people, and in the future, when we have children, they’ll help out, making things easier for us."

"Easier for you, right?" Xi Wanfen felt that it would be impossible for her to relax.

"We both work in the medical field; we don’t have stable schedules like other people. Do you want to hire a nanny? Nowadays, many nannies are irresponsible, you know that."

"But there’s still my mom, right?"

Liang Zhanbai became unhappy, "Your mom lives close by and can come over anytime she wants. My parents live so far away, and I’m their son, should I just leave the two elders back in my hometown?"

"Let’s not talk about this anymore," said Xi Wanfen.

Liang Zhanbai stopped talking too; Xi Wanfen had a night shift, and neither of them spoke again.

...

While eating, Su Meixi was looking at her phone, sometimes laughing, sometimes frowning.

Gu Wei watched her for a while and couldn’t help asking, "What’s wrong with you? One second you’re laughing, the next you’re crying."

"When did I cry?"

"Something seems off," Gu Wei said.

Su Meixi then said, "Wang Bing is pregnant. She said Ah Sun is really good to her. You know, people always thought that Wang Bing seduced Ah Sun, but Wang Bing said it was actually Ah Sun who pursued her, and he had planned it all along."

"Wang Bing is pregnant?" Gu Wei was surprised for a moment.

"Yeah, wasn’t there a rumor that Wang Bing couldn’t get pregnant? Now she is, which means there’s no problem with her."

Gu Wei went quiet for a moment.

"What’s wrong?" Su Meixi had a bad feeling.

Gu Wei said, "I had dinner with a few old comrades yesterday, and they said Chen Shu’s cousin is pregnant."

"What?"

This just got complicated.
