My Adorable Wife Drives Me Crazy

Chapter 018 Rumors

The butler spoke again: 'The young mistress is worried that the eldest young lady might not adapt all at once, so she instructed us to prepare breakfast according to the eldest young lady's usual dietary habits.' Chen Hanxue's face turned from green to white; she felt that Yu Qingwei was really too calculating, deliberately not mentioning that she had prepared two breakfasts just to wait for this moment to slap her in the face. Look, now her parents were looking at her with that reproachful gaze. With a snap, she slapped her chopsticks onto the table: 'I won't eat, it's disgusting.' After saying that, she ran back to her room in a huff. Seeing this, Mrs. Chen immediately followed to comfort her. 'You child, no one is saying anything against you.' Although Commander Chen also doted on his children, he was not someone without principles. He spoke to Chen Liedong: 'Dongzi, tell your wife not to take it to heart with your elder sister.' Chen Liedong immediately replied: 'Dad, it's okay, Xiao Wei isn't that petty.' As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qingwei came out carrying five cups of hot milk. Chen Liedong asked: 'Where did you just go?' Yu Qingwei said: 'I guessed that the milk was about to be delivered, so I went to the kitchen to heat it up for everyone.' She had stayed back for a long time, waiting until her throat wasn't so hoarse and people wouldn't notice that she had been crying before coming out. Commander Chen didn't speak but nodded his head. In the end, Chen Hanxue's breakfast was sent to her room to be eaten. Chen Liedong drove Yu Qingwei to school, and he stroked the top of her head to comfort her: 'I'm sorry you had to endure this.'

Although Yu Qingwei felt wronged before, she is much better now, especially moved by Chen Lidian's comforting words. What she cares about is not what Chen Lidian has done for her, but that he understands her good intentions. She took the initiative to take all the blame on herself: 'No. Actually, it was my fault today. I shouldn't have made decisions without consulting everyone and caused Sister to be unhappy.' 'Dad said you did nothing wrong, you really did well. It's just Sister... with her temperament, she definitely won't apologize to you,' Chen Lidian said with some worry. He knew this eldest sister too well; she would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, and anyone who dared to compete with her would be dealt with severely. It was precisely because of her overbearing nature that she never thought she could make mistakes; if there were any, they must be someone else's fault. 'It's okay, I'm not that kind of delicate girl who can't stand a little hardship. Before...' Before, when she was in the Huo family, she had suffered much more than this, but the Huo family members liked to play dirty tricks, so she had suffered many silent losses. Thanks to Huo Liyang's constant protection, she would have collapsed long ago. Thinking of Huo Liyang, her eyes couldn't help but darken. The reason she did this today was to repay Chen Lidian, she was responding to his kindness in another way. 'What happened before?' Chen Lidian asked, his mind involuntarily recalling Huo Yinrong's cold face. Yu Qingwei shook her head: 'Nothing much.'

Chen Lidian gently touched the top of her head, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: 'From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were an independent, strong, and understanding girl. It seems that my first impression was indeed correct.' Yu Qingwei couldn't help but smile: 'Are you praising me or yourself?' 'Of course, I'm praising you. You did very well today, willing to endure hardship yourself just to give in to your elder sister.' Yu Qingwei blushed and shook her head. In fact, she was just not good at arguing with others, and her voice wasn't as loud as hers. 'By the way, I'll come to pick you up this afternoon. We're having guests over today.' 'Guests? Who?' Yu Qingwei asked curiously. Chen Lidian's eyes narrowed: 'Your brother-in-law, Quan Zhendong.' There was still plenty of time, and Yu Qingwei wasn't in a hurry. She strolled towards the classroom, but along the way, many people pointed and whispered about her. This meant that either she was wearing her clothes backwards, or there had been some unfavorable rumors about her during her absence from school. As soon as she reached the classroom door, she heard a roar from inside. 'I'm telling you, how can you all be so bored? Do you actually believe such rumors?' It was Xia Zisu. As soon as Yu Qingwei appeared, the boiling noise suddenly quieted down, even more effective than the ringing of the class bell. She walked over and tugged at Xia Zisu's clothes: 'Xiao Su.' Xia Zisu turned around and saw her, immediately saying eagerly: 'Xiao Wei, you're here, quickly tell them, those rumors are all false.' Yu Qingwei asked: 'What rumors?'

“They say you've been... been kept by someone. That's not true, is it?” Yu Qingwei couldn't help but take a deep breath. This rumor had come so suddenly that she was a bit confused about the situation. But now she must remain calm. If she showed even a little panic, this rumor would only spread more and more widely, because these people in front of her were all psychology majors. She smiled slightly and said indifferently, “Nonsense. If I had been kept by someone, would I still need to study so earnestly?”
