"Zhang Ruoshu!" Father Xiao suddenly stood up.
Xiao Youran also walked behind Xu Xiuwen at this moment.
It's a sight to see both parents on edge, maybe even fighting.
She couldn't help but interrupt, "Mom, Dad, stop arguing, Xiao Xu is still here."
When Zhang Ruoshu heard Xiao Youran's words, she suddenly turned to look at the latter and said, "Don't call me mom! I don't have a daughter like you. Your father cheated on me, and you didn't tell me when you knew it, and you helped him hide it. If I hadn't overheard your conversation today, I would still be in the dark. Haha... What a good father and daughter... This is my good daughter..."
The disappointment and sadness in Zhang Ruoshu's tone was overwhelming.
Xiao Youran's face turned pale and her body trembled.
She explained in a panic, "Mom, I told you it's not what you think. I didn't hide it from you on purpose."
"Don't call me mom!"
If it was just Xiao's father who cheated, Zhang Ruoshu wouldn't be so angry.
What she could not accept the most was her daughter, whom she had always pampered like a treasure, like the apple of her eye.
She actually helped Xiao's father conceal his affair.
The father and daughter teamed up to deceive her.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Youran looked at Xu Xiuwen aggrievedly and called out, "Xiao Xu..."
Xu Xiuwen knew he couldn't pretend to be dead anymore.
He looked at Father Xiao and said, "Uncle, if we continue to quarrel like this, it will not be appropriate for the neighbors to hear us. Go back to your room first, and I will talk to Auntie."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Youran and said, "Youran, accompany your uncle back to the room first."
Xiao Youran always obeys Xu Xiuwen's words.
Father Xiao glanced at Xu Xiuwen.
It's not good to let outsiders interfere in this kind of thing.
Plus Xu Xiuwen is still a junior.
Father Xiao wanted to say, "Just don't worry about it."
But Father Xiao suddenly thought of what Xu Xiuwen had done in the past year.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Xiao Youran glanced at Zhang Ruoshu with concern and said, "Mom, listen to what Xiao Xu has to say."
After the father and daughter left the living room.
Xu Xiuwen first went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Ruoshu.
Zhang Ruoshu sat weakly on the sofa and did not answer it.
Xu Xiuwen said, "Aunt Zhang, drink some hot water."
Zhang Ruoshu hesitated for a moment, took it, but did not drink it.
"Xiao Xu, this matter is between me and your uncle Xiao, so don't worry about it."
Xu Xiuwen was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and suddenly said, "Aunt Zhang, in fact, Yu Ran and I discovered that my uncle had cheated on me, and I was the one who asked her not to tell you."
Zhang Ruoshu's hands trembled when she heard this.
The cup nearly slipped from my hands.
Xu Xiuwen reacted quickly and immediately reached out to hold Aunt Zhang's hand and the water cup together.
This prevents the cup from falling to the ground.
But Xu Xiuwen also realized that this was inappropriate and immediately let go of his hand.
Zhang Ruoshu held the water cup, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Xu Xiuwen in disbelief.
Then disappointment and sadness appeared in his eyes.
She asked in a hoarse voice: "Am I usually not nice to you?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded without hesitation: "Okay, Aunt Zhang is very good to me."
"Then why did you do this to me? I trusted you so much, and this is how you betrayed my trust?"
Xu Xiuwen sighed and said, "Aunt Zhang, I don't know how much Yu Ran and Uncle told you. I'll tell you the whole story again. If you want to scold me or hit me after listening to it, I have no complaints."
Zhang Ruoshu stared at him for several seconds before saying, "Go ahead."
So Xu Xiuwen told everyone what happened that day and what happened before and after.
Including Xiao Youran who wanted to tell Zhang Ruoshu immediately.
He also explained the reason why he stopped her.
After listening to this, Zhang Ruoshu fell silent.
Just when Xu Xiuwen thought she could understand and not be so angry.
Zhang Ruoshu suddenly asked him: "Why do you think you can make decisions for me?"
"What?" Xu Xiuwen was stunned.
"Whether to give him a chance to mend his ways is for me to decide, not for you to make the decision under the guise of considering Youran. Do you think I will be grateful to you? Or do you think I will be happy that I have been deceived by you all the time?"
These words confused Xu Xiuwen.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhang Ruosu's thinking is completely reasonable.
What Xu Xiuwen always told Xiao Youran was to get things straight first and not to make a big deal out of it without being sure that Xiao's father had cheated on her, which would lead to a bad ending.
But from Zhang Ruoshu's perspective.
She certainly doesn't want anything to happen to her family.
But she certainly didn't want to be kept in the dark by her husband, daughter, and most likely her future son-in-law.
And it was just like she said.
Whether to give Xiao's father a chance should be decided by Zhang Ruoshu.
Not Xiao Youran.
Not him either.
What Xu Xiuwen is doing now is already interfering in Zhang Ruoshu's marriage.
Of course, he did it with good intentions.
But his kindness had obviously hurt Zhang Ruoshu.
Xu Xiuwen immediately apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhang, I shouldn't have kept it from you, and I shouldn't have stopped Youran from telling you about it. I was inconsiderate and acted rashly. I'm sorry. But don't blame Youran, she's on your side."
Zhang Ruoshu originally thought that Xu Xiuwen would try hard to defend himself or distance himself from the matter.
But she didn't expect Xu Xiuwen to apologize directly and with such a sincere attitude.
She was slightly stunned, but she also felt a little more admiration for Xu Xiuwen's courage to admit his mistakes and take responsibility.
She suddenly realized that her daughter had kept the secret from her and that Xu Xiuwen had acted on his own initiative, which made her unhappy and angry.
Suddenly most of it disappeared.
Zhang Ruoshu looked at the handsome boy in front of her.
Suddenly I thought of something.
I felt inexplicably flustered.
So she picked up the cup again and drank the water to hide her flickering eyes.
After drinking the water and putting down the cup, Zhang Ruoshu said nothing.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Zhang, what are you going to do now?"
Zhang Ruoshu was about to answer when she suddenly thought of something and asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"
See Zhang Ruoshu throw the question to him.
Xu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then said, "I will first find out whether he has cheated on me and whether he has actually cheated on me."
He also specifically emphasized the four words "practical action".
Then he continued: "If I am sure that he has not cheated, I will make it clear to him that he must distance himself from the other party immediately and make a promise."
Having said this, Xu Xiuwen stopped again.
He stole a glance at Zhang Ruosu's expression.
Seeing that she didn't refute, he was about to continue.
Zhang Ruoshu said, "Don't doubt it, he must have cheated on me."
"Aunt Zhang, that's not necessarily true."
Zhang Ruoshu sneered, "Have you forgotten what I told you before? The two of them have been hooking up for a long time. After so long, I don't believe he wouldn't touch that woman? Even if he really didn't cheat, I think he did!"
This means that once suspicion arises, the crime is already established.
What Zhang Ruoshu meant was that she didn't need solid evidence that Xiao's father was cheating on her, she thought it was enough that he had it.
