Chapter 134 He Wenxuan's Request
"Aunt Jiang, I'm begging you!" He Wenxuan pleaded with Ruan Jiang Mianmian, his hands clasped together in a gesture of deep apology. "I heard Xiu Jin say that he was in a much worse situation than I am now, but he was still fine."
I was simply controlled by Su Qianqian; I received no severe punishment, yet I refused to obediently cooperate with her every move.
Even in such a difficult situation, he managed to escape Su Qianqian's control. Logically, shouldn't my situation have a better chance?
Hearing this, Ruan Jiangmianmian couldn't help but frown. "Don't you think it's because you're not up to the task? After all, you were the one who took that woman away that day."
Since that's the case, why don't you try to make her fall in love with you? Besides, you like her too, so isn't that perfect? You two are mutually attracted, wouldn't that be a wonderful opportunity for a beautiful marriage...?
"No, no, no, Aunt Jiang, you've really misunderstood!" He Wenxuan quickly waved his hands in denial and hurriedly explained:
"I admit, I did have some feelings for her before, but that's all in the past. I don't like her anymore, really!"
"Oh ho, you've already fallen for someone else? That's a bit too fast, isn't it? Do you mean your love for someone doesn't even last a year?" Ruan Jiangmian stared wide-eyed at He Wenxuan in disbelief.
"Oh no, no, Aunt Jiang!" He Wenxuan stamped his feet anxiously and hurriedly explained, "Actually, when I liked her before, I felt... I felt like I was bewitched."
Even I don't understand what's going on. Maybe, like Xiu Jin, I've also been mind-controlled by Su Qianqian?
"However, Shen Xiujin remained clear-headed throughout, while I was completely dazed..."
If I hadn't confronted Xiu Jin that day and had a huge fight with him, and then been lectured by Aunt Jiang, I probably wouldn't be able to wake up from that dazed state right now.
Just then, He Wenxuan seemed to suddenly remember something extremely important, and he jolted awake instantly.
Could it be that the reason I regained my senses was really because of that fight with Shen Xiujin? Or is it...?
As he pondered, He Wenxuan's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Jiang Mianmian. Could it be that the key to his waking up was actually Jiang Mianmian?
Could it be that she said something to me, or did something that provoked me?
Although he was still unaware of the results of his calculations, He Wenxuan was very certain that the key moment was definitely closely related to Jiang Mianmian.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through He Wenxuan's mind. His eyes lit up, and he quickly said to Jiang Mianmian:
"Aunt Jiang, how about this? I'd like to invite you to visit my brother-in-law's clinic."
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian looked puzzled, a big question mark appearing on her face, and muttered:
“I’m not going. I’m perfectly healthy, why would I want to go to your brother-in-law’s clinic? That place is full of sick people, it’s bad luck! I’m not going…”
Despite Jiang Mianmian's rejection, He Wenxuan did not give up but continued to persuade her:
"Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I guarantee there won't be any problems. As long as you're willing to make this trip, I promise I'll give you a super, super big red envelope!"
I swear to God, this red envelope will absolutely make you grin from ear to ear. And what's more, you don't need to do anything; just glance at my brother-in-law and give him a little scolding.
[Are you crazy?]
Jiang Mianmian's eyebrows shot up, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
How could I, an elegant and refined lady, possibly resort to the foul language of a shrew?
[You're not a good person! You're deliberately trying to ruin my reputation; your intentions are despicable!]
Her voice rose eight octaves, her tone filled with reproach and dissatisfaction.
The three Shen brothers exchanged glances and instantly understood the deeper meaning behind He Wenxuan's words. It turned out that He Wenxuan had only suddenly "woke up" after seeing his mother last time.
So, is there another possibility...?
Perhaps, when He Wenxuan's third brother-in-law sees his mother, he will also be able to quickly break free from some kind of constraint or influence, and thus regain his rationality and clarity?
Shen Xiujin had personally experienced this situation. As long as his mother was by his side, no matter how great Su Qianqian's influence on him was, his mother could easily reduce her strength.
Perhaps the most crucial moment in all of this really does fall on the mother!
Just then, the three people began to persuade Jiang Mianmian.
They said that if they didn't want to go to the clinic, that was fine too. He Wenxuan could invite his family to have a meal together, and he could also invite his third sister and brother-in-law over for a get-together.
After all, for them, as long as the couple could see Jiang Mianmian, it wasn't necessary for her to make a special trip to the clinic.
When Jiang Mianmian heard the suggestion, she immediately wanted to refuse. However, to her utter surprise, her refusal was...completely ineffective.
Because the group worked together with He Wenxuan, they successfully "persuaded" Jiang Mianmian.
The reason was simple: these people had all promised to give her two sets of exquisite jewelry from Liuli Pavilion as a thank-you gift.
Oh dear! Faced with this situation, Jiang Mianmian was helpless and completely "convinced." After all, the conditions they offered were just too tempting.
Jiang Mianmian's already weak willpower was instantly and completely eroded when faced with the tempting "gifts" and "red envelopes" from the people in front of her.
She looked at them with great approval and said, "Oh my, there should be more 'gifts' and 'red envelopes' like this in the future. I will never complain about having too many!"
In fact, her dutiful children often showered her with all sorts of nice things. However, as the saying goes, no one ever complains about having too many good things in their possession.
After all, besides letting her show off in front of others, these things can also play an unexpected role in helping her in times of emergency when she urgently needs money!
That very day, out of curiosity, Jiang Mianmian went out to pick up a few of her "unfilial sons" to take home. She left one of them at home to look after the children, while she took the other directly home.
As a result, Li Tingxue and Zhou Jingyao missed the show that day by sheer coincidence.
However, when they later heard from Jiang Mianmian about what happened that day, their curiosity was piqued.
Like cats that have caught a whiff of fish, the two instantly transformed into inseparable little tails following Jiang Mianmian around.
No matter what Jiang Mianmian said, the two of them were determined to go out and join in the fun.
So, Li Tingxue, holding the child, followed closely beside Jiang Mianmian, looking determined to achieve her goal.
Behind her followed closely by Zhou Jingyao, who was also beaming with excitement, making them the perfect examples of two onlookers.
Jiang Mianmian's lips twitched involuntarily, a look of helplessness and amusement on her face, as she silently complained to herself:
Haha! These two, just to watch the show, they really don't care about anything else, it's utterly speechless!
As she thought about it, she unconsciously turned her gaze to Li Tingxue beside her.
Seeing Li Tingxue's amused expression, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but sigh softly and remark:
Sigh, little Anle is always with her mother; she'll probably grow up to be a complete gossip addict, right?
However, Li Tingxue seemed not to have heard Jiang Mianmian's words at all, and continued to coax her daughter with toys.
In fact, Li Tingxue knew very well that anyone who could hear Jiang Mianmian's inner voice would love to join in the fun and gossip.
She just didn't want to directly confront her mother-in-law, the one who loved to gossip the most.

The reason for inviting everyone to dinner today was originally to gather together and discuss how to resolve the issues between He Yueyin and Ren Muchen.
But when He Wenxuan looked up, he was surprised to find that the table was now surrounded by the Shen family.
They all craned their necks, staring intently at him. Faced with this scene, He Wenxuan was stunned. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Is this the "price" he has to pay for asking for help? He Wenxuan secretly groaned inwardly.
However, considering that the matter between my third sister and her husband is now at a stalemate, the consequences could be very serious if a proper solution is not found soon.
So, despite his reluctance, He Wenxuan gritted his teeth and decided to temporarily endure the strange looks from the Shen family onlookers.
After all, the most important thing now is to find a way as soon as possible to help my third sister and brother-in-law resolve their conflict.
