As soon as Zou Junkai's mother said this, the scene fell silent. Wang Lele's expression was slightly restrained, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

Zou Junkai's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He said helplessly, "Mom, how can you say that? Lele is fine. Don't get involved."

Mother Zou was used to being strong, so she would never believe her son's words. She sneered and said, "I watched the live broadcast. What kind of attitude did Wang Lele have when talking to you? Which woman would treat her own man like this? What is she thinking?"

Wang Lele wanted to open her mouth to refute, but Zou Junkai pulled her back and begged in a low voice: "I will talk to her, don't interfere."

Wang Lele gave him a cold look, but for the sake of her son, she would endure it for the time being.

Zou Junkai sighed and said, "Mom, please stop making trouble. Lele and I are husband and wife. How we get along is our business. Even if she scolds me, it's no big deal. Just hang up if you have nothing to do."

Mother Zou was furious when she heard this. She said in dissatisfaction: "You guys went out to work, and I worked so hard to take care of Xiaobao at home, but in the end I was excluded. You really married a wife and forgot your mother. Do you have a conscience?"

Zou Junkai said depressedly: "Mom, if there is anything, let's talk about it when I get back. Don't talk nonsense outside. The show is being broadcast live."

Zou's mother insisted, "What's wrong with the live show? Can it be that I can't even talk to my son? What kind of logic is this? I think you've ruined your brain by participating in a show."

Zou Junkai's dignity was ruined by his mother. He tried to speak up to stop him, but Zou's mother didn't give him a chance at all. She continued to scold him:
"Your spendthrift wife wants to hire a nanny. She must have too much money. If you had money, you could have let her pay for the decoration when you got married, and you could have used the money to buy a bigger house. Why wouldn't she agree? Her parents are still so pretentious. They didn't even give her a dowry when she got married. They just brag."

Wang Lele could not stand such slander. She was filled with righteous indignation and said:

"You've got a lot of calculations going on. You asked me to pay for the renovations, but you didn't even put my name on the house. Why should I be the one who got sucked in? Do you think you're the only one who's smart? Why should I tell you about the dowry? My parents gave me the money. It was given to me by them. Why are you jealous?"

When Mother Zou heard what Wang Lele said, she was so angry that she roared:

"You don't really want to live with our Junkai. How can there be a woman like you who hides secrets? What's the meaning of hiring a nanny before you leave? Can I still take care of my grandson?"

Since she had already lost so much face, Wang Lele decided to just go for it. She said firmly:

"I asked the nanny to come back to take care of my son. Who told you to feed him carelessly? Can such a young child eat supplements? You are not smart enough to harm my son..."

Mother Zou was so angry that she started to curse:

"I'm not smart? Then why are you so eager to marry into our family? If you weren't so scheming and deliberately used pregnancy to tie my son down, he wouldn't have married you. Jun Kai can find whatever he wants, but he has to marry a troublemaker like you. It's really a misfortune for our family..."

Seeing the two people arguing more and more fiercely, Zou Junkai was unable to stop them. He was so angry that he picked up his phone and smashed it to the ground. Looking at the broken phone, he was so angry that he turned around and yelled at Wang Lele:
"They say that family disgrace should not be made public, but you insisted on quarreling with my mother regardless of the occasion. Now everyone knows that our family is not harmonious. Are you satisfied?"

Wang Lele stared at him intently, unwilling to be outdone, "What should I be satisfied with? It was your mother who came up and attacked me, and I can't even defend myself properly?"

Zou Junkai gnashed his teeth and said, "My mother became a widow at a young age. It was not easy for her to raise me alone. Why can't you let her go?"

Wang Lele sneered, "You are the one who caused her troubles. You raised her, not me. Why should I support her?"

Zou Junkai didn't want to continue arguing with her. He said angrily, "You don't want to live a good life, but you have to make our family restless. I want to see how high you can climb by stepping on us. You are really capable!"

After he finished speaking, he walked out without looking back. Xiao Jie quickly chased after him and shouted in a loud voice, "Zou Junkai, we are recording a program, where are you going..."

The netizens who watched the live broadcast were so excited about this big news that they kept talking about it.

"It turns out that the marriage life of celebrities is also a mess. Marrying into a family like Zou Junkai's is really suffocating."

"It's ridiculous that the parents-in-law always like to take back what they have given to their son from their daughter-in-law."

"The two women were in such a mess because of Zou Junkai's inaction. He first allowed his mother to bully Wang Lele. Now that Wang Lele has gone through the most difficult period and stood up to resist, he can't suppress her. His mother's hard days are still ahead."

"Wang Lele used to be so pure and beautiful, but now she is tortured like this. She must have met the wrong person."

"They are not going to get divorced, are they? They originally wanted to show their beautiful love from school uniforms to wedding dresses on the show, but they couldn't hide their conflict."

"Wang Lele must be in great pain. He was the man she loved with all her heart..."

In fact, Wang Lele had long been numb. She felt very satisfied to rebel against her mother-in-law in front of so many people. When she saw Xiao Jie was going to take people to find Zou Junkai, she calmly shouted:

"Teacher Xiao, don't worry about him. He is just like that. When he encounters a problem, he will run away from home to escape. He will come back naturally when he calms down."

Xiao Jie is the program director after all, and he has the obligation to be responsible for the safety of the artists. He said worriedly: "Zou Junkai's phone was smashed, and he didn't take anything with him. He can't go out."

Wang Lele said nonchalantly: "He carries a wallet with him, which contains bank cards, ID documents, and cash for emergencies. He is not a child and is capable of taking care of himself."

After all, the two have been together for so many years, and Wang Lele knows him very well. At most, he will go out to find a hotel to stay in, sleep for a day or two, and then come back obediently. He does not have the determination and strength to part ways with her, so she is not worried.

As a woman, Xia Lan naturally stood on Wang Lele's side. She said carelessly, "Zou Junkai is an adult man. He is tall and strong. What can happen to him? Don't worry, Teacher Xiao."

Qin Xuan crossed his legs on the chair and said casually, "Teacher Xiao, please come over and eat. I'll call my friend later and find out which hotel he's staying in."

If Wang Lele left like this, everyone might still worry about her personal safety. Zou Junkai really didn't need to do that. Xiao Jie was also acting in front of the camera. If something really happened, he didn't want to be blamed. After all, Zou Junkai's mother was not easy to mess with. Ruogu poured a cup of jasmine tea and handed it to Wang Lele, saying softly: "Drink some tea to relieve the greasiness. Eat less meat at night. It's not easy to digest."

Wang Lele smiled and nodded, took the glass and took a sip, and said in surprise: "This flower tea has a light sweetness and tastes good."

Ruogu said slowly: "I added some honey. The conditions here are limited, so I can only make it taste like this."

Wang Lele's mood was not affected too much. She continued to talk and laugh with everyone. Zou Junkai waved his sleeves and left. The live broadcast ended. There was no camera filming, and the men even had a few drinks.

Yu Yuan is not a heavy drinker, but he had to drink in the past for social occasions, so he has developed a good alcohol tolerance. It is not a problem if he drinks less. Qin Xuan and Xiao Jie are both able to drink, but they are still drinking even when everyone else calls for them to leave.

The others simply ignored them. Ye Mei was afraid that Wang Lele would force herself to smile, so she accompanied her back to the room. After entering the room, Wang Lele took off her shoes, took out a bottle of drink from the small refrigerator and handed it to Ye Mei. She sat on the sofa and said frankly:
"My mood has not been affected at all. I have long seen through Zou Junkai and his mother. I have not divorced because I want to give my son a complete family."

Ye Mei has seen many families with unhappy marriages, so she doesn't have much awe for marriage. To her, marriage is just a stepping stone to cross classes, so she won't advise Wang Lele on anything.

"As long as you have an idea in mind, even though the quarrel between you two was a bit ugly, it has attracted a lot of attention. The vast majority of the audience is still on your side. Once the work is finished, you can strike while the iron is hot. You shouldn't have any problems finding a role to play."

Wang Lele also agreed with her. Her son was still young and it was inevitable that he would not remember her if she was away for a long time. She could still coax him back slowly later, but there were not many job opportunities. She had to seize the opportunity to improve herself. Work was the most important thing.

"Although Young Master Qin likes to play, the Qin family is quite kind. Now they are looking forward to having a child, and you won't suffer any loss if you give birth to the child."

Ye Mei chuckled and said, "I'm lucky. As long as I don't commit suicide, my life won't be too bad."

Wang Lele enviously said, "If I were as clear-headed and rational as you, I wouldn't be living like this. Women can't pursue love for anything else, and they will fail miserably."

Ye Mei patted her shoulder comfortingly and advised gently, "Think about Sister Ruogu. Her daughter was not made public until she was this old. She has suffered a lot of hardships and grievances during this period, but she has survived it."

Wang Lele pondered for a moment and said, "I can't compare to Sister Ruogu. She is a person with a truly stable core and strong capabilities. The patients she has treated are all well-known, and her network of contacts is probably wider than you and me."

Ye Mei was a little surprised. "I haven't thought about this deeply. I can see that Yu Yuan cares about her very much. I don't know about the past, but now his whole heart should be on Sister Ruogu."

Wang Lele was a few years older than Ye Mei, and saw things more clearly. She whispered:
"Yu Yuan's company is developing very well, and Sister Ruogu has also contributed to this. She is not a housewife who can be ignored. She is fully capable of suppressing Yu Yuan, so I have to learn from her. It doesn't matter whether I love her or not. A complete family benefits the children. The mother-in-law will eventually grow old, and it is not certain who will ask whom for help in the future."

Ye Mei smiled like a flower. She stood up and said, "Come on, your brain is clearer than mine. There is nothing to persuade you. I will go back to sleep."

Wang Lele smiled as he sent her out. When the door closed, the smile on her face disappeared. Maturity always comes at a price, and the pain in the heart can only heal slowly by itself...

Ruogu went back to her room to take a shower and wash her hair. The smell of cooking oil on her body was gone, and she felt much fresher. She sat on the bed and read a book. Yu Yuan came out and scolded her, "Why don't you blow dry your hair before reading medical books? Aren't you afraid of getting a headache when you get older?"

Ruogu didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "If I blow dry my hair, you won't have anything to do."

Yu Yuan chuckled when he heard that. He walked up to Ruogu with a hair dryer, plugged it in, and gently blew her hair. The hair dryer was silent and the sound was not very loud. The warm wind blowing on her head made her drowsy.

Ruogu yawned, closed the medical book and put it on the bedside table, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Yu Yuan did not disturb her. After her hair was dried, he combed it gently with a comb, kissed her on the top of her head, and said in a charming voice: "Your hair is dry, you can go to bed."

Ruogu lay down, and Yu Yuan carefully put the hair dryer away. Then he turned off the lights and lay down beside her. He reached out and held Ruogu in his arms. Smelling Ruogu's unique scent, Yu Yuan felt at ease.

Although the couple has been married for more than ten years, they have only been together day and night since their first year of marriage. Before that, he always had endless announcements and could not stay at home for more than a few days.

He slowly returned to the family since Ruogu stopped quarreling with him. The time they spent together was not long each time, and it was only recently that they became inseparable.

The more they stayed together, the more he unconsciously recalled the past, and he always felt that Ruogu was not the person in his memory.

She no longer curled up when she slept, but now had a very beautiful sleeping posture. The handwriting she wrote when writing prescriptions was very elegant, but she no longer had the habit of leaving a small tail. The birthmark on her waist was still there, and she was still the same person, but she had become different.

Yu Yuan is not stupid, but there are some issues he doesn't want to think about deeply. In the past, Ruogu was pure and paranoid. She stubbornly believed that since he was her husband, he should only belong to her and he should always focus on her. Now, Ruogu focuses all his energy on medical skills and his daughter.

Being loved is undoubtedly a blessing, but the suffocating desire for control makes people want to escape. Ruogu is now very smart, and many things do not need to be stated. The two of them will have a tacit understanding. He does not need to be too obsessed with the truth. His wife is still his, and his daughter also belongs to him, that is enough...

After Zou Junkai ran out of the villa on impulse, Xiao Jie followed him and called him but he ignored him. It took him half an hour to reach the main road. The villa area was remote and there was no car at all.

He smashed his cell phone again, and it was difficult for him to even call a taxi. He waited on the side of the road for more than an hour before he got a ride.

When he got to the city, he bought a mobile phone and a credit card, then found a hotel to stay in. He ordered takeout and bought a lot of wine, intending to have a good drink. No one knew the number of his new phone, so no one bothered him...

Wang Lele was woken up by her cell phone at around two in the morning. She didn't intend to answer the call because of the unfamiliar number, but then she thought that something might have happened to Zou Junkai, so she picked up the phone anyway. As soon as the call was connected, Zou Junkai's drunken voice came over.

"Wang Lele...you are a heartless woman...what good will it do you if my house collapses? Why don't you think about your son?"

"How am I being mean to you... the clothes and jewelry I bought for you... are they still not enough?"

"My mother has had a hard life... She is an elder... She has no bad intentions towards you... What's wrong with you giving in to her..." (End of this chapter)
