Chapter 613: Chapter Six Hundred and Nineteenth
Receiving such an answer, Chen Li wasn’t surprised at all; it could be considered as something expected. After a man cheats, it’s usually one of those few excuses, designed to deal with the neglect of his wife.
“Have you felt any difference in General Han’s attitude toward you?” Chen Li asked with some sympathy, clearly hinting at something. Although Su Wenyue could be somewhat too naive at times, she was still a smart person and should understand the implication behind her words.
Preoccupied with her own concerns, Su Wenyue felt particularly sensitive and naturally understood, “What do you mean by that, Miss Chen? Are you trying to tell me something?”
Chen Li sighed; since she had come today, of course, she planned to tell Su Wenyue everything without intending to hide anything. She was about to speak when Su Wenyue interrupted her.
Seeing the expression on Chen Li’s face, Su Wenyue felt even more downhearted, but no matter how anxious she was, she didn’t forget that the children were still around. No matter what happened between the adults, it shouldn’t affect the children. In her previous life, she wasn’t a good mother, and in this life, she paid extra attention to her children.
“I have something to discuss with Aunt Chen. Brother Xing, could you take your younger brother and sister back first? Mother will come to see you later, okay?” Su Wenyue spoke softly, still with her usual demeanor, not wanting the children to sense anything amiss.
However, all three children were very clever and alert; they overheard the conversation and suspected that what Aunt Chen was about to say next must be related to Dad. They also wanted to know, but since Mother wanted them to leave, it was clear she didn’t want them to know.
Brother Chen and Sister Yu exchanged glances and both turned to Brother Xing, waiting for him to make a decision. Since they were little, they had always followed Brother Xing, who even took on some of the responsibilities of a parent, and they always listened to their big brother. Whenever there was an issue they couldn’t handle, they waited for Brother Xing to decide.
As clever as Brother Chen and Sister Yu were, they were still just children. Although they guessed that the matter might be related to Dad, they didn’t press further. But Brother Xing wasn’t really a child, and considering the questions Chen Li had asked, coupled with her sympathetic demeanor, he almost immediately guessed what the matter was about.
“Mother, why don’t you let us stay? What Aunt Chen has to say is related to Dad, isn’t it? We have all grown up, we’re not children anymore; we can share Mother’s burden. Please let us stay,” Brother Xing said, but seeing the disapproval on Su Wenyue’s face, he quickly changed his words.
“Otherwise, let the younger brother and sister go back first, and I’ll stay. As the eldest son, I should be aware of the household affairs.”
They also wanted to stay, but Brother Chen and Sister Yu, unhappy with Brother Xing pushing them out, swallowed their dissatisfaction after receiving a warning glance from him. Clearly, Brother Xing was very successful in establishing his image as the authoritative big brother.

“Please let me stay, Mother,” Brother Xing said eagerly, truly anxious and worried that Mother might not cope with the truth. He wanted to stay by her side to care for and comfort her because in their previous life, it was due to the indifference and lack of attention from Father that Mother’s heart grew cold, leading her to make so many mistakes, resulting in an irretrievable situation.
