Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Visiting as a Guest
"No wonder, that poor guy managed to buy a house in the city, his parents bragging every day about how capable their son is, earning money and being filial to them! Turns out all the money he earned is dirty!"
"I knew it! Clearly, everyone earns about the same, so how did he manage to pull so far ahead in just a few years?"
"So this guy has been scheming all along!"
The workers discussed heatedly, pointing at Zhao Guozhi with disdain.
Zhao Guozhi was disgraced, taken away in public, and once confirmed, he would spend the rest of his days in prison!
Wu Yingying watched Zhao Guozhi being taken away, her eyes glistening with tears, forcing herself not to let them fall.
This scene she had envisioned for four whole years, the injustice finally cleared.
After Zhao Guozhi was arrested, his ’cousin’ faced her own moment.
Despised by everyone, wherever she went, people spat at her, like a rat crossing the street.
Cao Xueqin’s engagement was broken, and everything had to be returned, even if she didn’t want to, Li Dahai took the returned money and quickly got engaged to another woman, giving her no chance.
Cao Xueqin wanted to seek out former suitors, but now who dared accept her!
Not long after, Cao Xueqin was fired from the machinery factory due to her behavior.
Zhao Guozhi’s house was forcibly reclaimed by the factory, his parents driven out, and with Zhao Guozhi captured, they didn’t dare make a fuss, slinking back to their hometown.
Years of shackles lifted at this moment.
Wu Yingying returned home with Fu Xiaoxiao, hugging Fu Xiaoxiao and bursting into tears, the tears she held back finally flowing like a flood.
Fu Xiaoxiao knew how much Wu Yingying had suffered these years, now seeing her revive, she was genuinely happy for her.
Carrying guilt for so many years, repressed for so many years, countless times thinking of ending it all, now everything has been endured, she no longer has to bear those burdens.
Fu Xiaoxiao couldn’t leave Wu Family after all, comforting Wu Yingying, as the two children were due home from school.
"Mom, what’s wrong with your eyes? Why are they so red?" Wu Linlin bounced with joy, then noticed Wu Yingying’s swollen eyes.
"Mom, who bullied Aunt Wu?" Lu Lin and Lu Chen saw Wu Yingying’s swollen eyes, frowned and asked.
"No, no, nobody bullied me, I’m crying from happiness." Wu Yingying hurriedly explained, not wanting them to misunderstand.
"What’s so happy?" Wu Linlin curiously asked.
"We’re having dinner together today, mom is too happy." Wu Yingying smiled and replied.
Fu Xiaoxiao took them to Wu Family, helping Wu Yingying cook together.
Wu Yingying had been happy wanting to cook herself, but after making one dish, Fu Xiaoxiao silently took over the spatula, becoming the main chef.
Wu Yingying looked at her plate of dark scrambled eggs and tomatoes, obediently leaving the kitchen.
"Xiao Xiao, I’m really embarrassed, you’re the guest and still helping me cook." Wu Yingying blushed, initially wanting to show off her skills.
Realizing she was showing off before an expert.
"It’s alright!" Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, skillfully flipping the pan, another dish ready.
"So fragrant! I’ve never smelled something this delicious." Wu Linlin, usually in her room, couldn’t concentrate on play today, as the tantalizing aroma kept drifting by, making her stomach rumble.
"But mom’s cooking... doesn’t smell this good." Wu Linlin had been eating Wu Yingying’s cooking for three years, she knew her mom’s cooking skills well.
"This is my mom cooking." Lu Chen confidently laughed. "My mom’s cooking is really delicious."
"So hungry, Linlin is already hungry." Wu Linlin hugged her stomach, her little tummy already complaining.
Wu Linlin dashed into the kitchen, peeking out a little head, watching Fu Xiaoxiao cooking at the stove, confirming the aroma was coming from there.
"Aunt, Linlin is hungry." Wu Linlin blinked her big eyes, looking pitiful.
"Xiao Xiao, I’m hungry too." Wu Yingying stood behind her daughter, using the same pitiful eyes to look at Fu Xiaoxiao.
It hadn’t felt like hunger came so quickly before, today her stomach felt especially empty.
Fu Xiaoxiao hesitated, looked back at the matching big and small faces, then couldn’t help but laugh.
"There’s some steamed egg custard for Little Linlin, feed her a bit first!" Fu Xiaoxiao pointed to a small pot nearby.
Wu Yingying stepped forward, carefully serving the enticing golden egg custard, couldn’t help but taste it first.
"So smooth, like eating jelly!" Wu Yingying’s eyes lit up.
"Oh no!" Wu Linlin waited a long time, then saw the egg custard meant for her going into mom’s mouth, crying in grievance.
"Aunt, mom took Linlin’s egg custard." Wu Linlin hugged Fu Xiaoxiao’s leg to complain.
Fu Xiaoxiao amusedly turned to see Wu Yingying who was preparing to take another bite.
"Aiyo! Mom just tasting if it’s hot, you little miser!" Wu Yingying blushed, hurriedly took Wu Linlin out, placing the egg custard in front of her.
Wu Linlin tasted it, like discovering a treasure, eating little by little, afraid it’d be gone if she ate too quickly.
"Linlin, dear Linlin, can mom have a taste?" Wu Yingying eyed it covetously, shamelessly asked Wu Linlin for some.
Wu Linlin hesitantly looked at Wu Yingying for a while, eventually gave her a small spoonful.
"Mom, eat."
"Mmm, so delicious." Wu Yingying kissed Wu Linlin’s cheek.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen, so envious of you two, having such an amazing mom." Wu Yingying felt jealous, thinking of Lu Lin and Lu Chen enjoying Fu Xiaoxiao’s cooking every day.
"Mom can cook so many dishes." Lu Chen proudly patted his small chest.
Whenever she needed to boost their health, Fu Xiaoxiao would switch up the meals to make them delicious.
"So happy." Wu Yingying was extremely envious.
Fortunately, Wu Yingying prepared lots of dishes, Fu Xiaoxiao made a table full of food, just waiting for Wu Family and Lu Feng to arrive.
Seeing the sumptuous table, some she hadn’t even seen before.
"When are grandma and grandpa coming..." Wu Linlin looked at the table but couldn’t eat, getting anxious.
"Yes, usually they come quickly!" Wu Yingying eyed the table, for the Nth time swallowing saliva.
Fu Xiaoxiao and the two children sat on the sofa, without Wu Yingying’s urgency.
Wu Jianlin and Mrs. Wu arrived, Wu Yingying excitedly greeted them. "Mom and dad, finally you’re here!"
"Grandma, grandpa, finally you’re here." Wu Linlin rushed to hug Mrs. Wu.
"Oh! My little darling, so affectionate today." Mrs. Wu was thrilled, receiving such a warm welcome once inside.
"Where’s my brother? Why so slow!" Seeing no sign of her brother behind, Wu Yingying frowned.
"Didn’t I just arrive? Not usually seeing you this anxious!" Wu Yuxuan laughed, holding Fang Zhenzhen’s hand.
Fang Zhenzhen moved forward with a graceful smile, handing Wu Linlin’s gift to Wu Yingying.
"Sorry to intrude! This is a gift for Little Linlin, hope she likes it."
