Chapter 523 Her treatment cured all my ailments.
Upon arriving at the Wen family's old residence, Ning Yao got out of the car and walked to the gate, where the Wen family's butler was already waiting.
"Miss Ning Yao, the young master asked me to come and pick you up," the butler greeted Ning Yao kindly.
He knew that this Miss Ning Yao would soon become his young master's wife, so he treated Ning Yao with exceptional respect.
"Thank you for your trouble." Ning Yao nodded to the butler, then followed him into the Wen family mansion.
Wen Aixiu and Wen Baoying, the two children, stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to look outside, finally waiting for Ning Yao to appear.
Two soft, chubby little white balls rushed over and hugged Ning Yao's legs on either side, as if they wanted to hang on to her.
Ning Yao was in a good mood when she saw the child, and a faint smile remained on her lips.
"Mommy, please help Auntie! Grandma has locked her in her room and won't let her out. She's so pitiful," Wen Baoying said, looking up at her mother in a sweet voice.
Wen Qingjia has been imprisoned by Old Madam Wen?
Are the mother and daughter having a disagreement?
What could have caused such a big misunderstanding?
As far as Ning Yao knew, the old lady of the Wen family had always doted on her daughter, and would never raise her voice if she could dote on her.
"Okay, Mommy will go check right away. You and your brother go back to your room to study first. Mommy will come over and help you with your homework later." Ning Yao patted her daughter's hair and then looked at Wen Aixiu.
Wen Aixiu pulled Ning Yao aside and frowned, saying, "I think the conflict between Aunt and Grandma is mostly because of men."
Ning Yao couldn't help but find it amusing to see her son acting like a little adult.
"How do you know it's because of a man? You little rascal, you know quite a lot." Ning Yao stretched out her fingertip and gently tapped her son's smooth, fair forehead twice.
“I guessed it. Most women only cry for men. My aunt doesn’t suffer at work. Doesn’t she not have to go to work?” Wen Aixiu’s voice was childish, but her tone was very firm.
"I'll go talk to your grandmother right now." Hearing her son say this, Ning Yao had a rough idea of what was going on.
The children returned to their rooms, while the housekeeper took Ning Yao to find Old Madam Wen.
The butler raised his hand and gently knocked twice on the door. After a short while, he heard Old Madam Wen's slightly hoarse voice coming from inside.
"Leave me alone, I don't want to see anyone right now!"
Normally, the butler would have tactfully left, but the guests who came to the Wen residence today were different from usual.
"Madam, it's Miss Ning Yao." The butler knew that Old Madam Wen had a special affection for Miss Ning Yao, so he introduced her by name.
There was no sound from inside. After a while, the door was opened from the inside. When Madam Wen appeared, her eyes were still red and her eyelashes were wet, as if she had just been crying.
"Yaoyao's here! Come in and sit down." Old Madam Wen forced a smile and stepped forward to affectionately pull Ningyao's arm.
After leading her into his room, he asked Ning Yao to sit down and instructed the housekeeper to prepare freshly squeezed juice for her in the kitchen.
"You girls all care about your figure, drinking some juice is good. Our chef makes a good avocado drink, try it."
“Okay.” Ning Yao pulled Old Madam Wen to sit beside her, then considered how to begin.
After thinking for a while, Ning Yao decided to get straight to the point. She wasn't the type to beat around the bush, and she believed that Old Madam Wen wouldn't like people who beat around the bush either.
"Did you and Qingjia have a little disagreement?" Ning Yao asked, trying to keep her voice as gentle as possible.
“Sigh…” When Madam Wen heard Ning Yao say that, her eyes reddened again.
"Please wait for me." Seeing this, Ning Yao got up and walked down to the living room.
Old Madam Wen didn't know what Ning Yao was going to do. She stared blankly at the young woman's departing figure, took out two tissues, and wiped away her tears.
When Ning Yao went back upstairs, she had a few more things in her hands: a clean towel and an ice pack.
"Please sit down and tilt your head back. I'll apply some ice pack to your eyes; it'll make you feel better." Ning Yao rolled the ice pack into a towel and folded it into a square shape.
Only then did Madam Wen realize what Ning Yao had been doing downstairs, and a warm feeling instantly washed over her.
After applying ice to her eyes, Madam Wen's eye area was finally less swollen, and even the redness had faded considerably.
"You've worked hard, Yao Yao. It must be tiring to hold your hand up like that for so long. Sit down and rest for a while."
"It's okay." Ning Yao flexed her wrists, placed the ice pack and towel on the table beside her, and sat down.
After calming down, Madam Wen began to sort out her thoughts.
"Do you remember when I told you about Qingjia at the dinner table last time? She was with a boy she used to like. That boy had a hereditary mental illness and later committed suicide." As Madam Wen spoke, her expression became solemn.
“I remember this.” Ning Yao looked at Madam Wen and nodded solemnly.
"I thought it was all over that Qingjia was able to let go of the past and return to China, to be with me and her father. But I never expected that Qingjia would come home today to tell me that she has fallen in love with the younger brother of that boy with mental illness!"
"How is this possible? My daughter has already wasted more than ten years of her life with one older brother, and now there's another younger brother? How is my daughter supposed to live in the future? Can't the Su family just leave my daughter alone?" Old Madam Wen said, heartbroken, pounding her chest with her palms.
Seeing her concern, Ning Yao stepped forward and took Old Madam Wen's hand, saying softly, "Auntie, please calm down."
Madam Wen realized her lapse in composure and felt somewhat embarrassed, but she also felt that Ning Yao was no longer an outsider and there was no need to hide anything.
"She's such a worry for me."
"Yaoyao, do you know that I sent people to investigate? This Su Tianxiao, like his brother, suffers from the same mental illness."
"I consulted several authoritative psychiatrists internationally, and they said that this kind of mental illness cannot be truly cured. It is like a person's emotions, integrated with the person. Although it does not put pressure on people physically, it can cause mental breakdown."
Madam Wen was heartbroken, heartbroken that her daughter had gone down the exact same path as before after more than a decade.
She could only watch helplessly as her daughter fell into this trap.
"Is your only concern that Su Tianxiao has a mental illness? Do you have any grievances against the Su family or Su Tianxiao himself?" Ning Yao looked at Old Madam Wen beside her, her eyes revealing a shrewdness.
She needs to know Madam Wen's true thoughts in order to come up with a solution and give the best advice.
When Ning Yao asked this question, Madam Wen fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, the old lady finally spoke slowly.
"The Su family is a scholarly family. Although they are not as prominent as our Wen family, I at least respect their character. I don't know much about Su Tianxiao. I only know that he is a live streamer and his daily work is just playing games..."
"That's fine. Even if Su Tianxiao is irresponsible, as long as he treats Qingjia well, Qingjia's father and I can accept supporting the couple. As long as their character isn't a big problem, it's fine."
"So that means the problem lies solely in Su Tianxiao's mental illness. You and Uncle are worried that he might end his life one day in such an extreme way as suicide, just like his brother Su Tianming, leaving Qingjia with indelible pain again, right?"
This is the most important problem, and also the most difficult to solve.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wen nodded, indicating her stance: "That's right, this is what we care about most."
After Madam Wen finished speaking, the young woman suddenly curled her lips into a smile, her cool voice sounding very confident.
"That makes things easier."
Is that easy?
Madam Wen was immediately taken aback, not understanding why Ning Yao would say that.
“I will treat Su Tianxiao myself. I guarantee that his illness will be completely cured, and you and your uncle will no longer have to worry about his health.”
