Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Stolen Attention
Wu Yingying’s face changed dramatically, and she immediately dragged Little Linlin into the room to check the bruise on her shoulder.
Seeing the bruise on Little Linlin’s shoulder, Wu Yingying couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed in front of Fang Zhenzhen, slapping her hard.
"Slap!" Fang Zhenzhen couldn’t dodge in time and was hit so hard by Wu Yingying that her head turned to the side.
"She’s still a child, how could you lay such a heavy hand?" Wu Yingying grabbed Fang Zhenzhen and questioned her, emotionally collapsing.
Wu Jianlin and Wu Yuxuan also didn’t expect that Fang Zhenzhen would actually lay hands on Little Linlin.
Seeing Little Linlin’s aggrieved and frightened look, Wu Yuxuan looked at Fang Zhenzhen incredulously.
"I didn’t, you’ve misunderstood me! It really wasn’t me," Fang Zhenzhen shook her head, covering her face with grievance.
"The evidence is already conclusive, yet you still want to argue? Before meeting you, Little Linlin didn’t have a single injury on her face," Wu Yingying pointed at Fang Zhenzhen and yelled angrily.
"Yuxuan, you have to believe me, I really didn’t do it on purpose." Fang Zhenzhen looked at Wu Yuxuan, panic in her heart when she saw the disappointment in his eyes, she hurriedly got up to grab his hand.
"Why would you lay hands on a child? Did our family wrong you in some way?" Wu Yuxuan looked at Fang Zhenzhen, wanting to know the reason.
"I dare say I’ve never mistreated you, why do you have such malice towards Little Linlin?" Mrs. Wu also didn’t understand, she thought she treated this future daughter-in-law quite well, often bought things for her, and never let her do chores at home.
What more is she dissatisfied with?
Hearing Mrs. Wu’s words, Fang Zhenzhen looked at her.
"Zhenzhen, tell us! Why? I always thought you were a very kind girl, why have you turned so cruel?" Wu Yuxuan’s eyes dimmed.
He always felt she was a very kind girl and would definitely get along with their family.
"Why? The first time I visited, I should have been the focus of everyone’s attention, so why did she come and take away everything that was mine!" Fang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, pointing at Wu Yingying.
The future daughter-in-law’s visit was highly valued by the Wu Family, and at first, Fang Zhenzhen was quite satisfied. The in-laws treated her well and gave her enough face, showing they valued her.
But when Wu Yingying came with Wu Linlin, everything changed.
Whether it was the future father-in-law or mother-in-law, or her future husband, the moment Wu Yingying appeared, all their attention shifted to her.
"She’s my sister!" Wu Yuxuan was shocked, unable to believe Fang Zhenzhen was angry because of this. "And her situation was so bad at the time, what’s wrong with that?"
"Once is fine, but the second time, the third time, countless times?" Fang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, looking at Wu Yuxuan with resentment in her eyes. "Clearly, I’m your fiancée, you don’t take care of me, why take care of her? Isn’t it enough that she has your parents? Why do you have to push me aside too! Do you know how upset I am?"
"You..." Wu Yuxuan was stunned, Fang Zhenzhen’s accusations left him speechless.
Wu Yuxuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed fiercely, clenching his fists. "You feel upset? Have you ever thought that Yingying was deceived by a jerk, raising a child alone! I’m her brother, looking at her pain, guilt, depression, even mom and dad secretly shed tears, how could I not care?"
"You always say you’re the eldest sister-in-law, urging me to comfort her, take care of her! Now you’re blaming us for neglecting you? So all along, you’ve been pretending in front of me, not really wanting me to care for Yingying?" Wu Yuxuan’s face darkened.
Fang Zhenzhen often pretended to care for Wu Yingying in front of him, buying so many toys for Wu Linlin, was it all an act? Pretending to like them? Pretending to be kind?
Wu Yuxuan felt betrayed, the girl he always thought was kind was secretly cursing his sister, laying a black hand on a three-year-old child?
"The first time I brought you to meet my family, the whole family busied themselves preparing for three days! Mom specially learned to cook sweet and sour ribs, which you love, and dad was repeatedly warned by her not to speak, afraid of displeasing you, in what way did we not value you?"
Fang Zhenzhen pointed at Wu Linlin. "After she came, how did you treat me? You directly pushed me aside, neglecting me."
Wu Yuxuan suddenly laughed, the laughter tinged with self-mockery and disappointment.
"For the sake of making you sweet and sour ribs, mom’s hand got several blisters from the oil! A person like you is not worthy of mom’s devotion."
"Yingying is my sister, she’s also a child of this family! If you can’t accept family supporting each other, then leave now! Our home is too small to house a Buddha who only sees herself!"
"We’re not suitable, the wedding is cancelled." Wu Yuxuan said coldly.
Fang Zhenzhen looked up in disbelief. "You’re calling off the engagement for her? Wu Yuxuan, you’re a bastard!"
"Yes, I’m a bastard, I want to call off the engagement! Yingying and I have been close since childhood, you expect me to forget my sister after getting married, sorry, I can’t do that! My parents have taught us since we were little that we should love each other, and even though we fight every day, we’ve never given up on each other!" Wu Yuxuan said firmly.
"If my wife can’t even accept this little bit of family affection, then I’d rather stay single." Wu Yuxuan’s words completely broke Fang Zhenzhen down.
"How can you do this to me, she’s just your sister, and I’m the one who’s going to spend a lifetime with you, I’m the one who’s going to live with you! How can you do this to me..." Fang Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, unwilling to accept.
"It’s just marriage, it’s not selling myself to you, why can’t I care about my sister... it’s simply ridiculous. Is it that after getting married, I should cut all ties with her?" Wu Yuxuan was amused, realizing for the first time how extreme and selfish Fang Zhenzhen’s mindset was.
"Miss Fang, you might not quite understand our family rules, let me explain them to you again! Our family rules are, family members support each other, understand each other, it’s fine to argue and quarrel, but grudges must not last overnight. Even if bones are broken, they’re still connected. How could we stop associating just because Yuxuan got married?" Mrs. Wu slowly stepped forward, earnestly speaking to Fang Zhenzhen.
"Regarding the cancellation of the engagement, I will visit your father another day, please now, Miss Fang, leave our home, you’re not welcome here." Wu Jianlin looked at Fang Zhenzhen indifferently, signaling Wu Yuxuan to see her out.
"Yuxuan, I won’t leave, I know I was wrong, can we not call off the engagement?" Fang Zhenzhen, frightened, held onto Wu Yuxuan as he pushed her out.
She couldn’t lose such a good marriage like Wu Yuxuan, with such good in-law conditions as the Wu family. If she got dumped, how could she face anyone in the future!
"Fang Zhenzhen, perhaps today is when your true colors are revealed, and I was deceived by how you used to act. You are not the kind girl I imagined, I’m sorry, I can’t marry you, let’s end this!" Wu Yuxuan led Fang Zhenzhen out, speaking solemnly to her.
