Yan Yuan's psychological world collapsed instantly.
After her body trembled for a while, her face turned pale.
She thought about it quickly in her mind.
When did the relationship between the two women take a qualitative leap under her nose?
This is unscientific!
The three of them have been living under the same roof recently.
She didn't notice at all.
Especially look at Zhang Ling’s speaking attitude.
But it doesn't look like a joke at all.
Yan Yuan was obviously a bit shameless and tentatively called "Lingling".
Zhang Ling glanced at Yan Yuan indifferently.
I just wanted to remind Yan Yuan again not to call her so intimately.
Said she was not used to it.
But Yan Yuan seemed to have already guessed what Zhang Ling was going to say.
So he swore sovereignty and forcibly kissed Zhang Ling in front of Wu Man.
Then he continued with a bit of a silly smile:
"Oh, Lingling, be good! Our relationship for many years can't be said to be estranged. I know you must be teaming up with that dead girl Wu Man to deceive me, right?"
Zhang Ling just wanted to deny Yan Yuan's explanation.
But Yan Yuan did not give Zhang Ling this chance.
After shouting "Lingling", he continued:
"Okay! It's so early in the morning to make a joke like this. But it's not funny at all. However, I have something important to tell you here."
On the one hand he does have important things to say.
On the other hand, you can also change the topic.
It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Zhang Ling asked curiously:
"What's up?"
Yan Yuan successfully changed the topic.
And showed a stretched smile.
This also confirmed that Zhang Ling and Wu Man were indeed joking with her.
As for the important thing Yan Yuan meant, it was a message sent by Li Xiang early in the morning.
He said that Li Xi was going to Zhang Ling's company to cause trouble today.
I wonder who instigated it?
Li Xi blamed Zhang Ling for being imprisoned again.
Tell the truth!
People like Li Xi are really ridiculous.
Her own heart is dark.
Are you always thinking about how to plot against others all day long?
So he naturally took away the suffering he suffered.
Just blame it all on others.
She thought it was someone else's revenge on her.
Little did she know that there was no revenge like she thought.
More often than not, it's just God's retribution for people like Li Xi.
Not to mention Li Xi.
Next, let’s talk about Li Xiang’s instructions to Yan Yuan.
Tell Yan Yuan if it is possible.
We must find a way to dissuade Zhang Ling from going to work this morning.
It is said that Li Xi is in jail.
Why did this guy take leave and get out of jail again?
And he dared to come out blatantly to cause trouble for Zhang Ling.
This made Yan Yuan very puzzled.
But when I thought about it again, I felt it was completely normal.
Since ancient times, rules have been set up for ordinary people without power.
People like Li Xi who have tremendous power.
Rules are meant to be broken.
It's not for her to abide by it.
It's just that Yan Yuan has a headache.
She knew that Zhang Ling was a person who valued work above all else.
If there is not a reason enough for Zhang Ling to pay attention to.
It is impossible to stop Zhang Ling from going to work.
Just when Yan Yuan had a headache and was at a loss.
Li Xiang sent another message with a perfect excuse for Yan Yuan.
That is to persuade Zhang Ling to pick up Xiaodouzi in advance.
pity!
Zhang Ling expressed that she also wanted to pick up Xiaodouzi in advance.
But she still remembered that the general manager arranged an important meeting.
Until I saw her again yesterday.
He looked worried that she had forgotten the meeting.
He also specifically asked her to buy a more grand new outfit if possible.
visible!
The importance of the person she is about to meet.
This made the general manager, who had always been vigorous and resolute, unusually ask her mother-in-law for advice.
That's why Zhang Ling didn't dare to slack off in today's meeting.
She even felt conflicted and worried that she would miss the plan to pick up Xiaodouzi.
However, Zhang Ling is not stupid either.
Yan Yuan's persuasion made Zhang Ling alert.
Even though Yan Yuan just said it casually as an excuse.
But a trace of worry appeared on Yan Yuan's face.
Zhang Ling still saw some clues.
So she just guessed that Yan Yuan's abnormality must be related to Li Xiang.
To confirm my suspicion.
So she still expressed her thoughts to Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan still denied it on the surface.
But she could clearly hear a sense of guilt in the negative words.
Zhang Ling did not continue to expose it.
He just showed a meaningful smile to Yan Yuan.
After that, he left alone to wash up.
"What are you laughing at? Zhang Ling, wait a minute, what did you mean by that smile just now?"
Yan Yuan asked in a panic.
But Zhang Ling ignored Yan Yuan's questioning.
Yan Yuan turned to Wu Man and asked again.
But Wu Man also smiled meaningfully like Zhang Ling and left.
That moment!
Yan Yuan felt like she was completely an outsider.
Even more flustered!
He was so flustered that he didn't dare to stay too long and hurriedly chased after him.
Before reaching the bathroom door, I heard the clear laughter of Zhang Ling and Wu Man.
Yan Yuan suddenly understood what was going on?
She stood at the door angrily and said loudly:
"Okay, Zhang Ling, how dare you team up to bully me."
The two of them followed the sound and only paused briefly.
He continued to laugh without saying a single word of explanation.
Yan Yuan probably made a trade-off in her mind, looked at Wu Man and continued:
"This must be your idea. Wu Man, just stand there and don't move! Look, I must make you look good today."
Saying that, Yan Yuan rushed towards Wu Man with bared teeth and claws.
The two of them started fighting like children in front of Zhang Ling.
Laughter instantly filled every corner of the home.
After hearing the laughter of the three girls, the father also smiled and shook his head slightly.
Then he picked up the soup basin in front of him and walked towards the dining table.
While calling the three girls loudly to come over for dinner.
Yan Yuan obviously felt that he was defeated by Wu Man in the fight.
So he took advantage of the situation and said that he would temporarily spare Wu Man for Zhang Pengtian's sake.
Taking advantage of the situation, he also praised Zhang Pengtian's delicious cooking.
Wu Man just showed a meaningful smile.
Yan Yuan thought she had achieved a staged victory.
But I don’t know why she just can’t be happy?
Instead, I felt as if I had suffered a big loss.
Yes!
That is, she did not complete what Li wanted to explain.
Instead, he made himself an object of fun for others.
tease!
This feeling!
How to say?
If people who don’t usually interact with each other do this.
Then it is most likely that he is deliberately looking for trouble with Yan Yuan.
With her usual character of never leaving a grudge.
Naturally, he will not let go of the other party's unreasonable teasing.
But if someone who has been close to you for many years does this.
That doesn't matter.
Or it is a necessary means to increase mutual affection.
fortunately!
At present, Yan Yuan still thinks that the latter is the case between her and Zhang Ling sisters.
So I didn't pay too much attention to it.
On the dinner table.
Yan Yuan faces the temptation of delicious food.
She actually completely forgot all the unpleasantness that happened between the sisters before.
He only thinks about cooking.
Zhang Pengtian glanced at Yan Yuan angrily and said:
"It's true! I've told you countless times to eat slowly. No one here is trying to compete with her. But this Yan Yuan is always trying to eat like a starving ghost reincarnated."
Wu Man rarely spoke for Yan Yuan and said:
"It's okay. Uncle, you don't know. In this life, some habits engraved in the bones cannot be easily changed. Just let her eat like that. There are no outsiders here."
When Yan Yuan heard this, he looked up at Wu Man for a while.
I really didn't expect that Wu Man actually said what was in her heart.
That’s right!
Yan Yuan has long regarded this place as her home.
That’s why I dare to eat and drink in front of my family without any scruples showing my true nature.
Be aware of the general situation when eating out.
Yan Yuan became reserved, but even he was surprised.
I was surprised that I could be as pretentious as the woman with two surnames.
to be honest!
This is also unreasonable.
You must know that whenever people live in society, they will have all kinds of helplessness and must erase their own edges and corners.
In other words, bow to life.
This seems to have subtly become a basic skill for ordinary adults to blend in society.
Well, what I said was a little off topic.
Back to business.
Yan Yuan thought of an excellent plan to persuade Zhang Ling not to go to work.
That is to try to guide Zhang Pengtian to persuade.
As far as she knew, Zhang Pengtian particularly liked Xiaodouzi, his granddaughter.
Recently, I have asked her in front of her more than once when Xiaodouzi will come back?
Think of this.
Yan Yuan revealed to Zhang Pengtian the news that Xiaodouzi was coming back today.
It just made Yan Yuan a little confused.
After Zhang Pengtian heard the news that Xiaodouzi was coming back.
His eyebrows only jumped a little excitedly.
soon!
He continued to eat the food in his bowl quietly without any trouble.
It felt to Yan Yuan that what she just said had nothing to do with him.
Yan Yuan mistakenly thought that Zhang Pengtian didn't hear clearly just now.
So I went to his side and said it again.
Unexpectedly!
What Yan Yuan saw was still the calm Zhang Pengtian.
What's going on?
Suddenly!
Yan Yuan seemed to understand something.
It felt like there was a force controlling everything that she couldn't resist.
So all her efforts were in vain.
There was an inexplicable voice in her mind that advised her not to exert any effort.
She... is a smart person.
In the end, she completely gave up trying to persuade Zhang Ling.
And silently comforting himself in his heart, he said:
"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's mainly because you and Zhang Ling are not a family yet. So there is nothing I can do."
You must know that Yan Yuan is not a person who gives up easily.
If you don’t have a reason that is convincing enough.
There was no way she could make herself give up what she had promised to do.
Yan Yuan's abnormal behavior attracted Zhang Ling's attention.
But she just silently observed the reactions of everyone around her.
It gave Zhang Ling a feeling that everyone present knew something important about her.
But he just hid it from her.
Presumably, no matter who encounters this situation, he will be very unhappy.
What's more, his parents and close relatives are among them.
despite this.
She remained very calm and did not say even half a word of complaint.
Because she knows the relatives and friends in front of her.
If they deliberately conceal it.
Instead of alerting others, let them stay on high alert.
Then listen to those so-called white lies.
She might as well rationally explore and analyze their words and deeds to find the real answer.
Because she hates lies.
Even if the liar is being kind enough when he lies.
She also felt that such lies were unforgivable.
So she is considerate and doesn't want to force the other person to lie.
Zhang Ling prefers to trust people who truly treat her as relatives and friends.
Wait until the time is right.
Sooner or later they would reveal to her what they were hiding.
but!
Sometimes she is a person who is unwilling to wait quietly for answers.
Because she knows better about waiting passively.
More will lead to lies one after another.
You must know that telling lies too often can easily form a habit.
In that case, her inner world will most likely collapse and she will completely lose basic trust in her relatives and friends.
So she was always in a hurry when eating.
Today, uncharacteristically, I was the last person to finish breakfast.
The frequency with which Zhang Ling's eyes flickered when the three of them looked at her.
And her understanding of the three of them.
It's basically confirmed that they concealed this about her.
The three of them did not discuss it in advance.
And it is even more certain that Yan Yuan understands this matter most superficially.
That’s why I am impulsively active.
Tell her intuitively.
Father Zhang Pengtian and Wu Man knew each other in the same detail.
So there was a quick glance between them that understood each other.
That’s it!
Zhang Ling was even more puzzled.
What?
People who recognize each other's eyes.
If it's Yan Yuan.
She can still make sense.
But this person is Wu Man.
She had only known Wu Man for a few days.
And look at the way father and Wu Man confirm each other's eyes.
It felt like my father had known Wu Man for as long as Yan Yuan.
No matter how she thinks about it now, she feels it is a bit unreasonable.
Unreasonable?
Zhang Ling then thought about it.
Watched Wu Man and his father back and forth several times again.
He boldly forced himself to believe that it was reasonable for his father to have known Wu Man for a long time.
Then it becomes very reasonable for them to have the understanding look between them that only old friends would have when meeting each other.
Then here comes the problem.
Why did father meet Wu Man in advance?
And why did the two of them pretend to have never known each other in front of her?
The only reason Zhang Ling can think of right now is "mother".
The mother whose father said she died in childbirth before she was born.
Then infer based on Wu Man’s age.
She vaguely felt that her mother was still alive.
And the Wu Man in front of her is most likely her mother's daughter.
So this can also explain why she is so kind every time she sees Wu Man.
Think of this.
Zhang Ling tentatively leaned into Wu Man's ear behind Yan Yuan's back.
Suddenly he said, "Do you know my mother is still alive?"
For Wu Man, Zhang Ling's words were too sudden.
When she reflected, she tried to shake her head in denial.
But she saw Zhang Ling smiling meaningfully, shaking her head and saying:
"You don't have to answer a word, because your instinctive reaction just now gave me the answer. This is enough for me."
Yan Yuan on the side saw Zhang Ling and Wu Man whispering behind her back.
So some of them shook one of Zhang Ling's arms like a child to express their dissatisfaction.
However, Zhang Ling remained indifferent to such expressions and continued to deliberately whisper into Wu Man's ear:
"I guess that was the old lady in the cabin by the lake we first met."
