Chapter 201 - Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Increased Resistance (2/2)

Su Wenyue showed a bit more respect when Old Man Han appeared, as she genuinely respected the broad-minded and fair elder, her Father-in-law.

“Father, some issues were misunderstood by Mother, and it has indeed been very difficult for your daughter-in-law. It wasn’t my intention to disrespect Mother. I hope Father can offer some guidance. If there’s anything lacking on my part, please feel free to point it out, and I will strive to do better,” she said sincerely.

Old Man Han, seeing her courteous demeanor, felt his discomfort ease a bit and nodded before departing.

Knowing her Father-in-law was upset but having no alternative, Su Wenyue realized that some matters could be endured while others could not be tolerated. Otherwise, Mrs. Yang would only push further. She hoped Han Yu would understand her.

Not wanting to aggravate the tension with Mrs. Yang further today, Su Wenyue did not immediately bring Feng Susu and her child over. Some things she didn’t need to report to her parents-in-law, but they required Han Yu’s consent. With the affection and trust Han Yu had for her, she believed he would agree. The reason she had befriended Feng Susu and her son and wanted them to come over was for Han Yu’s sake.

Previously, Su Wenyue had been confident in this, but today’s altercation with Mrs. Yang had shaken that certainty a bit. After all, Mrs. Yang was Han Yu’s Birth Mother, and her Father-in-law’s stance wasn’t very clear—he seemed to side with his wife. Han Yu’s attitude would undoubtedly be influenced by them. A positive matter had unexpectedly grown complicated, creating additional obstacles. This left Su Wenyue feeling quite agitated.

After some thought, Su Wenyue sent a little girl to wait at the door. Although she trusted Han Yu greatly, since the other party was his parents, she couldn’t rule out the possibility of Mrs. Yang complaining first and influencing Han Yu’s impartiality. Su Wenyue decided to explain the whole situation to Han Yu first, allowing him to make his own judgment, as she believed she had done nothing wrong.

“How is it, has the Master returned?” Su Wenyue asked the servant girl she had sent to wait, who had returned but without Han Yu, leaving her uncertain of his whereabouts.

“Madam,” the girl replied, “the Master went first to Madam’s place and said he would come here afterwards.”

“Was it Madam who went looking for the Master?” Su Wenyue inquired further.

The Servant girl shook her head. “It was the Master who went there on his own, I didn’t see Madam go,” she replied.

Hearing this, Su Wenyue’s heart sank a little. What did Han Yu mean by this? He knew she had sent a girl to wait for him, but he deliberately went the other way first.
