In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 115: Let’s Not Associate Anymore

"After all, that’s just the kind of guy Xie Yanchuan is, even if he dislikes someone, he won’t say much."

So, Xu Jinzhi didn’t force Xie Yanchuan to join her in badmouthing Liang Shiyu and Lin Chu, those two oddballs, and instead went straight to her phone to gossip about it with Song You.

Even though Xu Jinzhi didn’t say anything out loud, she was busy typing away, breaking into silly laughs from time to time, showing none of her usual aloof demeanor from when she was at work.

Xie Yanchuan could already guess what Xu Jinzhi was discussing with Song You.

But he didn’t say anything about her actions being inappropriate, just silently listened in.

Xu Jinzhi chatted with Song You for quite a while before eventually, once the conversation had ended, she put the matter out of her mind.

It wasn’t until the afternoon, when Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan saw that the time was about right, that they set off for the Xie Family’s old house.

Although she had let the matter go, on the drive over, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but get excited again, imagining what kind of expression Liang Shiyu would have upon seeing her own father.

By the time Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan arrived, Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu hadn’t shown up yet, but Xu Jinzhi saw her old man’s car in the parking area.

The corners of Xu Jinzhi’s mouth couldn’t help lifting into a smile, then followed closely with Xie Yanchuan into the villa.

At that moment, Xu Zhen was having tea with Xie Suian and Old Master Xie in the living room. Seeing them come in, he greeted them, and after the greetings were exchanged, Xie Yanchuan casually asked, "Where’s Mom?"

Hearing this, Xu Jinzhi instinctively glanced at Xie Yanchuan standing beside her.

Upon hearing Xie Yanchuan’s question, Xie Suian seemed to brighten up a bit as the smile in his eyes became more apparent, "Your brother felt a bit under the weather and slept for a couple of hours this afternoon; your mom went up to check on him."

As soon as he heard that Xie Xingchuan was feeling unwell, Xie Yanchuan slightly furrowed his brow, "I’ll go take a look." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Xie Suian naturally agreed, as he was more than happy to see Xie Yanchuan showing closeness to the family.

"Sit down for a while; I’ll go up and check," Xie Yanchuan whispered to Xu Jinzhi.

"Should I come and have a look?" Xu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yanchuan shook his head, "No need."

Xie Xingchuan might be the youngest at home, but he was already a grown man, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for Xu Jinzhi to go over like that.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t say much more, and Xie Yanchuan went upstairs.

Arriving at Xie Xingchuan’s bedroom door, Xie Yanchuan knocked and only entered when he heard a response from inside.

At that moment, Xie Xingchuan was leaning against the headboard, with He Shuying sitting at the edge of the bed; both of them looked rather downcast – Xie Xingchuan because he felt ill, and He Shuying because of her worry for Xie Xingchuan.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan enter, He Shuying’s expression didn’t improve; she merely responded perfunctorily, "You’re back."

"Yeah," Xie Yanchuan nodded and approached the bed before quietly asking, "What’s wrong with Xingchuan?"

"It’s just a bit of a fever, nothing serious," Xie Xingchuan said himself, but with his lethargic appearance, he hardly seemed fine.

"Have you been to the hospital?" Xie Yanchuan asked.

Before Xie Xingchuan could respond, He Shuying snapped irritably, "He refuses to go to the hospital no matter what I say!"

Xie Yanchuan frowned, "Your health isn’t good, and even a cold shouldn’t be ignored. Dragging it out will only make things more severe."

Xie Xingchuan looked a bit impatient again, but he was very aware that they were all concerned about him. So, he still tried to control his emotions, not wanting to vent his physical discomfort on his family.

"It’s the same every year, and going to the hospital always takes a long time to get better, nothing to worry about," Xie Xingchuan said brusquely.

Yanchuan, who was not a man of many words in the first place, had an only average relationship with this younger brother. Seeing his reluctance, he didn’t know what to say.

There was a moment of silence in the bedroom, and then, Xie Xingchuan broke it first, "You guys go ahead, I’ll get up and change my clothes."

Xie Yanchuan nodded, then turned and walked toward the exit. As he reached the door, he could faintly hear He Shuying’s voice, filled with concern for Xie Xingchuan.

Xie Yanchuan paused for just a second, then returned to his usual self and went downstairs.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan, Xie Suian grinned and asked, "How’s Xingchuan doing?"

Yanchuan couldn’t say how Xingchuan was doing right now, just, "Xingchuan will be down in a bit."

Xie Suian didn’t ask further, but Xu Jinzhi was sharp enough to sense that something was off, though deep down, she was well aware of what was really going on.

After all these years, Yanchuan should have gotten used to it by now, but he’s human after all, with emotions and desires. His silence didn’t mean he didn’t care at all.

As Xie Yanchuan sat down, Xu Jinzhi reached out and held his hand. Yanchuan turned to look at Jinzhi, who smiled back at him.

In that moment, without saying a thing, Jinzhi seemed to have said everything.

Xie Yanchuan also smiled at Xu Jinzhi.

Soon after, He Shuying and Xie Xingchuan came downstairs. Her complexion was still a bit off, but she managed to force a smile, keeping the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.

Just then, Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu arrived.

Considering the time, the child in Shiyu’s belly was already six months along, her belly noticeably swollen. Plus, Shiyu had lost a significant amount of weight for some reason, making her belly appear even larger.

Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly; although she disliked Liang Shiyu, she still felt a bit worried seeing her belly.

What was going on with Liang Shiyu, taking such poor care of herself?

At that moment, Xie Linchuan was politely greeting his elders with Liang Shiyu. When greeting Xu Zhen, Linchuan’s expression was normal, but Shiyu’s face suggested something was amiss.

Only Xu Zhen, Xu Jinzhi, and Xie Yanchuan present knew the reason for this.

If they didn’t speak up, the Xie Family would naturally remain unaware, but even if they didn’t know that Lin Chuyun had planned to scheme against Xu Zhen, the Xie Family had already heard about Lin Chu being beaten by Mrs. Li.

After greetings, Linchuan and Shiyu sat down. Xie Suian then glanced at his wife, signaling her to address the issue, as it wasn’t easy for him as the father-in-law to speak about his daughter-in-law.

He Shuying caught the signal, but due to Xie Xingchuan’s ill health, she was already rather irritated, which even affected the tone of her voice when she spoke to Liang Shiyu.

"Shiyu, you should stop associating with that friend of yours, doing such disgraceful things," He Shuying said, without any warmth.

Liang Shiyu’s face turned white as if she had been slapped hard twice, but in the end, she could only nod obediently, "I know."
