Chapter 215 - Grief

A servant came over with a cup of boiled water. I lifelessly placed the cup in my hands. The burning heat caused my palms to turn red, but I didn't feel any pain.

After a long while, I probably reacted. Looking at the red palm, I silently place the cup on the table and retract my hand back into my sleeves.

I lean back on the couch.

"This daughter-in-law is incredible, she still needs to serve as a mother-in-law." Grandma carried a dish in her hand. When she passed by me, she paused for a moment.

Looking at the back of my mother-in-law, I bitterly smiled.

Now that I'm sitting here, it's already very awkward. What Grandma is saying now is just adding a little bit of awkwardness to it.

If I had gone to the kitchen to help at the start, I would probably have been despised by Grandma, right?

However, she needed a reason to teach me. No matter what I did, in my mother-in-law's eyes, I was not good.

But I had to get up.

"I'll go get the dishes." I raised my voice a little.

"You should just sit down. We've already prepared everything. Some people are even carrying the dishes."

I stood at a loss of what to do. Looking at my mother-in-law who was laying the dishes on the table, for a moment, my heart felt a little cold.

I continued unwillingly, "Let me help you with the tableware."

Nanny suddenly turned her head to look at me, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. "For such a small matter, I can still do it myself." I bit my lips as my mother-in-law continued, "There's a glass of red wine in the fridge that has already been opened. Help me get it."

I heaved a sigh of relief. I vaguely felt that my mother-in-law's sudden change in attitude was a little strange. However, to me, this change was extremely good. At the very least, I would no longer think about escaping this place.

Grandma isn't happy with me, probably because of Zhang Mancha. Just now, when she changed her tone, she probably thought that I was her daughter-in-law, and since Zhang Mancha is already married, even if she is unhappy, I am still her daughter-in-law. I don't want to make things difficult for you.

The stiffness and awkwardness that I showed earlier was not something that Grandma could easily detect.

The moment I picked up the wine, I bumped into Zhang Mancha, who was carrying food side by side with him.

I glanced at him and swiftly lowered my head before turning around to leave as if I was fleeing.

Calmly and Zhang Mancha were still carrying the dishes, and chatting with each other.

"Why are you running so fast!?" Can you afford to lose this wine? " Grandma said.

I was embarrassed for a moment, but I had to slow down.

"Auntie, Lin Xiang is afraid that you're in too much of a hurry to use him, it doesn't matter if she falls, I'll pay for him."

I lowered my head and held the bottle of red wine tightly. In that moment, the only thing that remained in my eyes was the bottle of red wine, I couldn't help but think that I would throw the bottle in my hand, throw it away, throw it away … Then Zhang Mancha would go and buy the bottle with money.

Just as I was about to let go, a pair of large hands suddenly fell upon mine. Clenching and turning, I took the bottle, almost in one breath, without giving me time to think about how to react.

"Mancha, quickly go and check if your uncle is back. How did I hear his footsteps?"

After Zhang Mancha left, I raised my head to look at the owner of those two hands — It was extremely gentle.

I silently asked him why, and the only thing that lightly responded to me was a perfunctory hug, before turning around and following Zhang Mancha.

I reached out a little, trying to hold on to him, not wanting him to leave, but in the end, my hand was five centimeters away from his, and he just walked away from me.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you coming over to help? " Grandma urged me from behind.

Walking slowly with me, I couldn't help but think, walking slowly, would he turn his head and look at me, probably not, since Zhang Mancha was the one he was chasing after after after, while I was just an existence that was part of the role play category.

Before meeting gentle, my yearning love, is only a simple tea, but after gentle, I could not help but covet more things, is no longer satisfied with simple life.

I wanted to travel with him, I wanted to be with him all the time, I wanted to be ordinary and I wanted to be with him, but the voice at the bottom of my heart was too gentle to be heard, and even if I were to hear it gently, he probably wouldn't respond to me.

In his eyes, there's only Zhang Mancha, so he can throw me aside again and again for Zhang Mancha, and ignore me.

I was at a loss. Even though I was helping Grandma do something, after numerous mistakes, Grandma finally made me stand aside for the time being out of disgust. I didn't want to cause any trouble for her.

She could tell that I had been absent-minded ever since I left the room. Thus, Grandma was busy cleaning up as she asked me about it.

"Lin Xiang, although you are now my wife, Bo Family is not as simple as you seem to be. What you need slowly is a wife that can help him master her wife, a wife that can help him stabilize her position as Patriarch, and not a wife that can slow him down. I hope that you understand, and furthermore, the things that you have done, one by one, are not enough for you to become the next Patriarch."

What did I do?

I raised my head and looked at Grandma, my eyes filled with doubt. I had never done anything, unless it was to say that I offended a few people while I was acting, or perhaps, some misunderstandings created by Zhang Mancha.

Besides, what did he need as a mother?

Why can't I?

"I know you are not convinced, but Lin Xiang, you will understand sooner or later."

Understand what? Do you understand that I am not suitable for being gentle, and that I cannot go to the end?

At the same time, in this family, no one was optimistic about my mistress, from the servants down to my mother-in-law, to my mother, and to the gentle person in person. I couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and sometimes I felt that the gentle side of me was something that I loved, but sometimes I felt that the gentle side of me was something that I didn't really care about.

Every time I had something to do with Zhang Mancha, I would immediately be gently pushed to the side.

To me, gentleness was more like a cold, dutiful responsibility.

Just as I was thinking about my situation, Zhang Mancha and I slowly entered the room. There was still my father-in-law, but my line of sight was completely attracted by the person behind them.

How could she be here?

After harming me, how could she openly appear here?

Sun Yufei was probably looking at me, but there was a bit of disdain in her eyes, as she grabbed onto her father-in-law's arm as if there was no one around.

How could this be?

However, my father-in-law didn't let Sun Yufei let go of her arm and continued to walk towards me.

"What, not only has he returned slowly, Lin Xiang is also here? I thought it was only a slow return. " As the eunuch spoke, he passed by me and headed straight for my mother-in-law.

"Wife, let me introduce you. This is my savior. If it wasn't for her today, I'm afraid my life would have ended."

Eunuch's savior? Sun Yufei?

It was practically like a joke. No matter how foolish I was, I could tell that there must have been a reason why Sun Yufei had become my father-in-law's savior.

The calmness on the face of one of the gentles did not call into question Sun Yufei's identity.

I don't understand.

There should be a reason for him to slow things down, right?

At the dining table, the father-in-law and mother-in-law let Sun Yufei take the seat of honor, and I could tell how much the father-in-law valued his benefactor. Looking at Sun Yufei's face, I really couldn't be happy.

He had just taken a bite of his meal and was thinking about how to explain the situation to the other party when he finished his meal and left as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that Sun Yufei would suddenly ask me.

"Auntie, Uncle, this is?"

The familiar voice and strange gaze caused my entire body to stiffen, unable to swallow.

With Sun Yufei's current acting skills, without even getting a chance to play the part, it was really hard for her. Look at the table full of people, they had all been cheated by her on the surface.

"She? It's my daughter-in-law. " Grandma looked at me impatiently. It was probably because she didn't like my attitude. After all, the person sitting there was her husband's savior.

It must be because he was dissatisfied with his savior, right?

But how could I treat Sun Yufei better?

Sun Yufei has injured me time and time again. If it wasn't for me being gentle and timely, what would have happened to me right now?

For someone like that, how could I be nicer to her?

How could it be good, it would never be good.
