Chapter 2186: Obviously Biased
At noon, Wen Zhehan asked the servants to prepare a sumptuous lunch.
Wen Zhehan sat in the main seat. Usually, his wife and daughter sat on either side of him. But today, the situation has changed.
Wen s.h.i.+yu’s usual seat was given to Wan Dou, which meant that Wan Dou was sitting right next to Wen Zhehan, while Wen s.h.i.+yu could only sit in the second seat.
This change made Wen s.h.i.+yu unhappy from the bottom of her heart. Li Mei’en could tell that something was wrong with her daughter’s expression and quickly picked up some food for her. “Xiaoyu, hurry up and eat! In the future, no matter what you do at home, you have to give in to your sister. She has suffered so much for so many years. You should let your sister enjoy her happiness until today.”
“You’re right. Sister Wandou should eat more!”
Wen s.h.i.+yu ‘thoughtfully’ helped Wan Dou with the food.
But Wan Dou simply pushed the food Wen s.h.i.+yu picked aside. “I don’t eat anything that other people touched with their saliva.”
“…” Wen s.h.i.+yu’s face instantly darkened. Wandou’s words did not give her any face at all. She felt wronged and immediately cried to her father. “Daddy, I did something wrong. I only wanted to treat Sister Wan Dou better. But she despises me.” Both were his daughters so it wouldn’t be good for Wen Zhehan to take sides. Instead, he said, “You did very well. But in the future, remember to use common chopsticks. There’s nothing wrong with being particular about hygiene. Your sister just came back and is still not very used to it. You have to be more tolerant in the future.”
Although Wen Zhehan had said those words with a fair att.i.tude, it was clear to Wen s.h.i.+yu that he was biased towards Wan Dou.
“But Dad…” Wen s.h.i.+yu wanted to say something, but Li Meien kicked her foot under the table, signaling her to stop.
Li Meien turned to Wen Zhehan and said, “Zhehan, look, it’s my birthday in two days. Why don’t we take this opportunity to introduce Wan Dou to everyone and let them know that she is your daughter and the eldest daughter of the Wen family?”
Wen Zhehan was also thinking about how to announce Wan Dou’s ident.i.ty. Coincidentally, Li Meien’s suggestion was very good. “Very well, then let’s do it this way! You will take responsibility!”
“Mmm. I’ll go shopping with Doudou later and see if there’s anything I can buy for her. Now that she’s back at the Wen family, I’ll treat her like a daughter, just like Xiaoyu.”
“Sure. You have to work harder in the future.”
Wen Zhehan nodded in satisfaction.
Li Meien chatted happily with her husband while she peeled the prawn sh.e.l.l.
Wan Dou did not say anything. She knew in her heart that since she said she would treat everyone equally, Wan Dou looked at her putting the prawns in Wen s.h.i.+yu’s bowl and deliberately said, “I also want to eat prawns.”
“How about letting Dad peel it for you?” Wen Zhehan asked.
“No, I want to eat it personally peeled by Auntie Li. I think it must taste just like my Moms!” Wandou said, pretending to be pitiful.
No one could refuse such a request. Moreover, Li Meien had personally said that he would treat everyone equally.
Li Mei’en was used to peeling it for his daughter, but he had never helped anyone else. Now that Wan Dou suddenly asked her to peel it for her, she was almost angered to the point of bleeding internally.
It was clearly intentional!
But even if she knew that Wandou did it on purpose, Li Meien could not say anything. She still had to act like a good wife and mother in front of her husband!
Li Mei’en swallowed his saliva and forced a smile. “No problem! Auntie is best at peeling prawns. I’ll help you peel them now.”
