When Sui Jie saw her daughter's excited look with her bulging belly, she didn't know what to say, so she could only turn the topic to Shen Chaoxi.

"Xixi, you see, Xu Jie is not someone else. He and I are cousins. Our two families have a good relationship and can help each other when there is something. I didn't expect to run into you when I came here today. I originally wanted to ask Di Mai to invite you out for a talk. It's just a coincidence today!"

Ge Xiaoshu interrupted.

"Mom! You said you were cousins ​​and your two families had a good relationship, but why haven't I seen your two families visiting each other in all these years?
Our family was in financial difficulty back then, and Ge Peng was sick. You borrowed money from everywhere, but I didn't see any of your cousins ​​give you a penny, or even bring a box of milk to visit you!

Oh, now that I'm married into this family, they see that Aunt Dimai and the people on Xixi's side are powerful and influential, so they try to curry favor with you in a roundabout way. But you, on the other hand, push all the good and bad things to my side.

Aunt and Xixi are very nice people. They know that I’m in a difficult situation, and they have helped me with many things in our family. Why are you always so unsatisfied?

Take my mother-in-law for example. Dimai's uncles and aunts often come to ask for help. My mother-in-law refuses them whenever she can. People should fight for their dignity and make money with their own abilities. Don't always think of taking shortcuts!"

Sui Jie said one thing, but her own daughter countered her with five words, each of which hit the nail on the head. She was so angry that her face turned blue.

"Xiao Shu, I really raised you for nothing!"

"You raised me up so that you can use me? You can't even tell who you are close to. I am your daughter, so am I not as good as those relatives of yours who are not even remotely related to you?"

Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to quarrel, Zheng Juanjuan hurriedly stopped them.

"Sui Jie, stop talking too much. The child is pregnant, and she is hurt by your anger. Don't you feel bad for her?"

Ge Xiaoshu wiped away her tears, but she was still angry.

"How could she feel distressed? She's not afraid of you making fun of her. Since I married into the Yao family, I've realized what it means to feel distressed and what it means to love a child.

In the past, at home, after I had a younger brother, the thing I heard the most was to give in to him. He is still young, and when he grows up, I will always give priority to him in whatever I want. You said that my younger brother will inherit the Yao family in the future, and I will get married sooner or later, so what’s the point of having so many things!

But it was different when I married into the Yao family. During every festival, whenever the family bought something, the first thing that came to mind was always mine.

One time I heard my grandmother tell my mother-in-law that when Xiaoshu married into our family, we never raised her, so why did we ask her to do housework and serve the whole family? Dimai did all the housework. After I got pregnant with Yaya, my family treated me like a patron, thinking of me for everything. After I gave birth, they always told me to rest more, saying that if a woman doesn’t take good care of herself after giving birth, she will suffer from lifelong illnesses…”

Hearing this, Zheng Juanjuan was quite moved and took Ge Xiaoshu's hand to comfort him.

Sui Jie didn't check the almanac before going out today, and ran into obstacles everywhere. She was even speechless because of the criticism from her own daughter.

Seeing that the two stopped talking, Shen Chaoxi smiled and said to Sui Jie: "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that they did break the law.

We live in a society ruled by law. Anyone who pleads for such a serious matter as forcing a little girl to jump off a building would be an accomplice!

What's more, the one who was hurt was an employee of my studio. If I don't protect her at this time and even go to shield a group of hooligans, it will really disappoint my employees. Who will be willing to work with me in the future!

The studio has finally started to make progress, and everyone can earn a high salary to support their family. We can't let this incident ruin everyone's job, right? Don't you agree?
My sister-in-law just said that since your two families are not close, it is better to have fewer relatives like this!"

Sui Jie was sent out by Zheng Juanjuan, still confused.

I had thought of a lot of things to say before coming here, but not a single one of them was used.

He was also scolded by his own daughter.

Sui Jie had a bitter look on her face, thinking of the promise she had made to her aunt before: "Our little Shu married into her family and had children, so she still has some face. Don't worry, I can go over and solve the problem with just a word! Even though Xixi is the wife of a wealthy family, she always calls me auntie and is very affectionate to me. She is happy to help me with anything!"

At this moment, Sui Jie felt pain in her cheek. "Juanjuan, you said we are relatives, please help..."

"Sui Jie, don't say that again. Didn't you hear what Xixi said? I dare not do anything that violates the law. Let's not get involved. It's better for us to live our own lives behind closed doors!
Xiaoshu is getting older, and I've been thinking about preparing things for the baby and taking good care of Xiaoshu's body. There's also the confinement nanny that Xixi found for Xiaoshu last time, and the single ward for the birth. There are so many things that need to be done by Xixi. I feel embarrassed to ask her for help with my own affairs, so let's not always cause trouble for other relatives who are a few steps away, don't you think?"

After being blocked by Zheng Juanjuan's words, Sui Jie was so angry that she shook her arm and left.

Zheng Juanjuan went back and saw Ge Xiaoshu still wiping her tears.

Shen Chaoxi advised from the side: "I didn't interrupt you to tell you that it's not your fault if you bring this up while you're pregnant. Xu Yun is fine too, don't blame yourself too much."

Zheng Juanjuan also advised: "Xiao Shu, some of the things I said are inappropriate, but the truth hurts. I only tell you this because I treat you like my own daughter. Your mother is the most confused person. In the future, don't tell her about anything that happens in our family or your studio."

How did the Ge family know that the studio was going to be renovated?
Ge Xiaoshu said a few words and felt uncomfortable, but it was indeed embarrassing for her to go to her mother's house to do things several times.

She nodded and responded.

Yao Dimai had a small job to do, so he had to go and take care of it, so he just happened to send Ge Xiaoshu upstairs to rest.

Yaya was sleeping on the first floor, and Yao Yuan went out for a walk.

There were only three people left at home, and grandma took a nap as usual.

Shen Chaoxi leaned on the sofa and chatted with Zheng Juanjuan.

The topic more or less revolved around the Ge family's messy household affairs.

Shen Chaoxi stayed at Yao's house until four o'clock, when Shang Jianghan came to pick her up.

Shen Chaoxi drove his own car when he came, and left the car here when he left, asking the family driver to drive away later.

She left in Shang Jianghan's car.

The two of them went around and had dinner at a very down-to-earth barbecue restaurant, and then went back to the merchant's villa to pick up Shang Zhuoming.

In the last week of August, Fang Yuan finally returned to China.

That day, it was drizzling, and Shen Chaoxi, Zhongli and Xiao Xiaoyu came to the airport to pick them up in person.

After not seeing each other for a few years, they were moved to tears when they saw each other.

Fang Yuan brought back her two-year-old son, Xiao Tuomi.

The little guy inherited Fang Yuan's handsome appearance, has a cheerful personality, and speaks fluent Chinese. If you don't look carefully, you wouldn't know that he is a mixed-race boy and would think he is an authentic Chinese guy.

"I miss you guys so much!" Fang Yuan handed his son to his parents who came to pick him up at the airport, and hugged the three of them and cried.

Fang Yuan's parents also expressed their special thanks to Shen Chaoxi.

"Our Yuanyuan has friends like you, who are her greatest wealth in this life. Thank you Chao Xi for your help!"
