277

! Go back and study hard; it's none of your business. It's best if you stay out of it."Ye Tianyu smiled gently, "I'm really sorry, but I'm illiterate and have never studied.""Let this punk go or else...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO Completed Chapter 277 It's Midnight Already.

Sit back and enjoy the show, Brother Shuwen has gone too far and needs to be taught a lesson. Only Uncle Tang can teach her a lesson in this family.

Tang Shuwen glanced at Chen Xueru with narrowed eyes. Tang Mandong told him everything coldly. "Isn't your Miss Zhao gentle and kind Kind, my ass! She's the one who poured scalding coffee all over Xiao Nian's face. If it weren’t for Sister-in-law’s quick reflexes, we would be at the hospital seeing Xiao Nian now. What foolish thing have you done this time You're still in contact with her and that's why she thinks you want to marry her again. She even came here to provoke Sister-in-law, almost throwing a check at her face. Who does she think she is

Warmth was speechless. Mandong, you really know how to exaggerate; it sounds so dramatic. It's no wonder you're from the directing department—you have a natural talent for directing melodramas.

Your lines are very effective too.

Tang Shuwen’s expression changed when he saw that Xiao Nian was fine, and then looked at Chen Xueru. "You got burned"

Wen Lan was comforting her shocked grandson while Tang Si had a frosty look on his face. "Shuwen, come to the study with me!"

After saying this, he went upstairs. Wen Lan glared at Tang Shuwen and said, "Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from her long ago Next time if she really dies, don’t come see me even if she does. Why are you causing such a fuss and making things look so ugly You can’t handle something as trivial as this."

"Mom..." Tang Shuwen called out. He felt overwhelmed by the situation. Now, he was becoming less and less important in his own home, with everyone favoring Chen Xueru and her son. Not wanting to keep Tang Si waiting any longer, he walked a few steps but then noticed coffee stains on the back of Chen Xueru's coat. Frowning, he put on an outer jacket for her, assuming she hadn't burned herself.

The house was warm; Chen Xueru took off her dirty coat. Wen Lan hurriedly asked, "Are you hurt"

"Mom, I’m fine."

“How could a lady from a prestigious family act like this It’s so disgraceful,” Wen Lan sighed. Xiao Nian had already been pacified and was smiling again, which made Wen Lan feel relieved. Tang Mandong was still seething with anger.

Chen Xueru sat down and said, "Mom, please talk to Dad and tell him not to be angry anymore. In reality, Miss Zhao is also a pitiful person. Ultimately, it’s because Xiao Nian and I appeared that she suffered this misfortune today; her anger and resentment are understandable. Anyway, neither Xiao Nian nor I were harmed, so let's just forget about this matter. If we cause a public scandal, both families will lose face. Moreover, it was Tang Shuwen who wronged Miss Zhao in the first place, making the Tang family at fault here. With Miss Zhao being hospitalized several times and news spreading outside, I don’t want people to talk even worse of us. Let’s just leave this matter be."

Wen Lan's heart was as clear as a mirror; Xueru really was an excellent daughter-in-law. Her son wasn't without feelings for her, but he was unable to overcome his emotional barriers. She was a懂事明理 (discerning and understanding) child.

"This is their father-son matter, we shouldn't get involved," said Wen Lan. "Xueru, remember, you haven't wronged her; even without you, Zhao Yuning couldn't enter the Tang family door unless Shu Wen and us cut ties."

“Mom...” Chen Xueru thought that Wen Lan was comforting her and couldn’t help but want to say something. Wen Lan raised her hand to signal her not to speak; she said indifferently, "This is the truth. Many things you and Shu Wen don't know about, we also find it inconvenient to tell you. All I want to say is that even if Shu Wen has a karmic connection with Zhao Yuning, they cannot be husband and wife. It’s fine for them to date, but she can’t become my family's daughter-in-law."

Wen Lan seemed quite biased against Zhao Yuning, and Chen Xueru didn't want to say anything either; it wasn't easy being the wife of a wealthy family.

Chen Xueru went upstairs to wash her face, tying up her hair. Her neck was deep red from the coffee stain, though most of it had been covered by her coat. She hadn't sustained serious burns since only a little coffee had splashed onto her neck, but her fair and delicate skin made the mark quite noticeable.

It would be overkill to fetch the first-aid kit, and Chen Xueru didn’t want to cause another commotion either. So she soaked a cold towel and applied it to her neck; it felt somewhat better. When Tang Shuwen entered and saw her applying the towel behind her neck, his expression was terrible, as if he had been scolded by Uncle Tang Four. Chen Xueru didn’t want to get into trouble and hurriedly put down the towel.

"Are you injured" asked Tang Shuwen as he walked over. Chen Xueru shook her head; he turned her around, pulling back her long hair to reveal a red patch on her neck. He frowned at Chen Xueru, looking both angry and reproachful.

Chen Xueru said indifferently, "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt."

She was not used to being so close to him. Tang Shuwen left for a moment and came back with some ointment in his hand. He pulled Chen Xueru to sit down, dabbed some of the clear white cream on her burn, bringing a soothing coolness.

There was silence, no words exchanged.

Chen Xueru sighed and said, "Tang Shuwen, it's not too late for you to change your mind."

Although changing her mind now would damage her reputation greatly and result in much gossip, she preferred this.

Tang Shuwen suddenly stood up, his expression grim as he looked at her. "Do you think that everything can go back to the way it was after something like this happens It's impossible. We have to continue making mistakes. This time Rainning did make a mistake, but so did you. I don't care what you two talked about; the fact remains that your appearance with Xiaonian disrupted us. Now that we are married, I will keep my promise, but... I hope that in the future you can avoid her and not cause me any more trouble."

Chen Xueru smiled. With Tang Shuwen's unfriendly face, what was there to smile about

"Tang Shuwen, don't you think it's odd To ask me to avoid Rainning and not cause you any more trouble— I already keep away from her enough as it is, but what if I can’t Actually, you have the right to choose to return to your normal life; you just chose not to. It’s no one else's fault. Yes, I did disrupt you two, so whether today I or Xiaonian got hurt was self-inflicted. Are you satisfied now Since you say you will keep your promise, then I ask you too, please handle things between you and her as soon as possible, and don't cause me any more trouble."he rejected his touch."What are you doing" Tang Shuwen asked in an unfriendly tone. In the darkness, their expressions were blurry, with only outlines visible in the shadows. Chen Xueru bowed her head...
