Chapter 579: Can’t Control
Tao Ningwan stopped talking before she finished.
Wen Lan suddenly had a bad feeling, and the smile on her face froze, "Mrs. Shen, please go ahead."
"I'm not afraid of Mrs. Xie laughing at me. Shen Yi has a son-loving mindset. The older he gets, the deeper his obsession with Xiaotong becomes, and the more guilty he feels. After thinking about it, I think that only by formally recognizing Xiaotong can Shen Yi's wish be fulfilled. In this way, Xiaotong will have someone to rely on in Beijing."
Tao Ningwan frowned, and played the role of a stepmother who desperately wanted her stepson to return to the family.
Wen Lan knew Xiaotong's temper and the difficulties of life, and did not want to use her aunt's identity to pressure him. She declined, "Shen Yi and Xiaotong are father and son. This matter does not require me to be a middleman at all. Just let Shen Yi come forward."
"Shen Yi asked Xiaotong several times, but was rejected. I know Xiaotong is close to you, so I thought of asking Mrs. Xie for help. As long as Xiaotong calls me mom, I will definitely treat him as my own son." Tao Ningwan still had no intention of giving up.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Shen. Xiaotong is a very opinionated child. If he wanted to recognize you, he would have recognized you long ago. As his elder, I will never embarrass him." Wen Lan expressed his position again.
Tao Ningwan sighed, "Mrs. Xie has both sons and daughters, so she can't understand the sadness of having only one daughter like me."
"It's fair, because Mrs. Shen can't understand the sadness of a child who grew up in a single-parent family." Wen Lan said slowly.
Seeing that Wen Lan was so stubborn, Tao Ningwan had to give up and went somewhere else with the goblet.
Several media reporters who often dealt with Shengyan came over and surrounded Wen Lan to chat.
To deal with these reporters, Wen Lan only said three points, and no matter how they tried to trick her, she could perfectly avoid them.
After the event, it was past eleven o'clock when Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng returned to Tinglan Mansion.
Wen Lan deliberately knocked on the door of Nuannuan's bedroom, and found that Nuannuan had not returned yet, and the anger in his heart suddenly came up.
He called Nuannuan's cell phone, but the ringtone ended and he didn't answer.
Wen Lan picked up the car keys from the entrance and prepared to go to the hospital, but Xie Yansheng stopped her from going.
"If you go to see Nuannuan with your emotions now, there will be a conflict in nine out of ten cases. Nuannuan will definitely not repent and will stir up another storm. If you really decide to draw a line with Nuannuan, then just ignore what I said."
Wen Lan fell down on the sofa at the door in despair.
She also had a hunch that after Nuannuan and Jiang Guan reunited this time, if she stopped her again, Nuannuan's reaction would definitely be more intense than last time.
Last time was three years, what about this time?
As a mother, Wen Lan didn't have the courage to think about it.
After all, no matter how rebellious and ignorant the child is, parents are the ones who will cover for their children.
Wen Lan looked at Xie Yansheng: "You don't accept that Nuannuan and Jiang Guan are together, do you?"
"I don't accept it. But is it useful not to accept it? It's useless!" Xie Yansheng threw his coat on the sofa irritably and unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt.
"Since the two sons can choose the girls they like, then we should turn a blind eye to Nuannuan."
Wen Lan was very surprised by Xie Yansheng's words, "Bei Heng and Nan Chen both chose good girls of similar age and clean family background! What did Nuannuan choose? They are born of the same parents, and their vision is not comparable at all!"
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As long as Nuannuan likes it, we should not be entangled." Xie Yansheng pulled off the tie around his neck, "Nuannuan would rather break up with us than be with Jiang Guan, which means that Jiang Guan has the shining points she likes."
"Three years old is a generation gap, and the age difference of fourteen years is four or five generations in between! She really doesn't mind the communication barrier! I even doubt whether she is my child!" Wen Lan stretched out her hand to cover her tired eyes.
At this time, she had given up the idea of going to the hospital.
Xie Yansheng said slowly: "I mean to let go completely and let her do whatever she wants. People have a rebellious mentality. The more parents forbid them to do something, the more they want to challenge. If Jiang Guan can really make her happy, we are lucky. If the two can only last for two or three years, she may really have a great enlightenment."
"Letting it go like this is a gamble on Nuannuan's entire youth and even life!" Wen Lan was so angry that she almost bit her lower lip.
"Jiang Jingci, that old fox, had already calculated it. At the old man's funeral, he brought three animals and gifts as a relative." Xie Yansheng frowned, "The funeral hasn't ended yet, and this matter is known to everyone in Jiangcheng. Now it's rumored that Nuannuan is going to marry into the Jiang family."
"Jiang Jingci is really as shady as ever!" Wen Lan's teeth were clattering.
I thought Jiang Jingci had a change of heart when he revealed the lie twenty years ago, but he didn't expect to calculate Nuannuan again!
"That silly girl Nuan Nuan insisted on going to the fox den of the Jiang family. We will not care about it. It will be her own fate in the future." Xie Yansheng put the back of his hand behind his head and adjusted his sitting position.
This sounded very ruthless at first, but after careful consideration, Wen Lan could not find any fault with it.
Nuan Nuan was determined to be with Jiang Guan. She had no choice but to break up with Nuan Nuan and threaten her with breaking off the relationship.
I can't care, so I will just ignore it.
Nuan Nuan came back early the next morning, looking haggard and with two dark circles under her eyes from staying up late.
Wen Lan went downstairs to prepare for breakfast and met Nuan Nuan who had just entered the room.
"Mom, I plan to catch up on my sleep at home in the morning, so I won't go to the company." Nuan Nuan was afraid of being scolded, so she took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Tell the human resources department about the leave. I can't make the decision." Wen Lan suppressed her inner displeasure, "I called you for two days, but you didn't answer any of them."
"I get scared when I see your phone call. Anyway, you know I'm in the hospital, so it doesn't matter whether you answer the phone or not." Nuannuan explained in a low voice.
Wen Lan found that since Nuannuan came back last time, she has been very careful when talking to her and Xie Yansheng, and her previous sharp tongue has disappeared.
This kind of caution makes Wen Lan feel very uncomfortable.
Among the three children, she loves Nuannuan the most. Seeing the cautiousness in Nuannuan's eyebrows, she is full of sorrow.
The dissatisfaction accumulated in her heart was quickly suppressed by her, "Have breakfast first and then make up for the sleep. I will tell the HR department about the leave."
"Thank you, Mom." Nuan Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the second floor, "Where is my dad? He didn't go to the company early again?"
"There is a high-level morning meeting today. Your dad left half an hour ago."
Wen Lan was talking when a nanny ran out of the house in a hurry, "Madam, Duan Qianxun is here and wants to see-"
"Say I'm not here." Nuan Nuan interrupted the nanny in a hurry.
The nanny nodded respectfully, "I'll send him away right away."
"Wait a minute." Wen Lan stopped the nanny and looked at Nuan Nuan, "Say everything you need to say. It's not a good idea to hide all the time."
