Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

"A hospital?" Yin Suwen was taken aback when she heard the news.

So, looking somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Why haven't I heard Peng Shao mention this before?"

"My brother didn't want to trouble others, so he didn't tell anyone."

Peng Xiaowan was also unaware of the relationship between Yin Suwen and Peng Shao, and genuinely believed they were friends.

"How can it be considered troublesome? Tell me, which hospital is Uncle Peng in?"

After being rejected by Peng Shao last time, Yin Suwen still felt somewhat unwilling after thinking it over.

She had waited for Peng Shao for so many years, and she didn't want to just let it go like this.

Since it didn't work out with Peng Shao, she decided to go to Professor Peng. If the relationship between their two families could return to what it was before, maybe things could really work out between her and Peng Shao.

Seeing that Yin Suwen meant well, Peng Xiaowan simply told her, "Your uncle is at the city hospital."

Upon learning which hospital Professor Peng was at, Yin Suwen thanked Peng Xiaowan, then turned and left with her things.

Peng Xiaowan originally planned to tell Peng Shao about Su Wen when he came home in the evening, but she didn't expect that he had something to do at the company that night and didn't go home.

The next day, Peng Xiaowan left the child with Aunt Wang and went to the hospital herself.

After arriving at the hospital, Peng Xiaowan went directly to Professor Peng's ward.

As soon as she reached the door of the room, she heard Yin Suwen's voice coming from inside.

"Uncle Peng, I haven't had a chance to visit you since you returned to Beijing. We are so sorry for what happened before. So much time has passed, and my parents have felt guilty all these years. We hope you can forgive us."

Yin Suwen stood in front of the hospital bed, her face filled with apology.

Her apology was indeed sincere, but it was mostly for Peng Shao's sake.

If it weren't for Peng Shao, she probably wouldn't have thought to come see Professor Peng.

"Let's not talk about the past. I appreciate your kindness, but please take these things back with you." Professor Peng's face didn't show any particular expression, and his tone towards Yin Suwen was somewhat distant and cold.

"I bought these especially to help you recover. I would feel really bad if you didn't accept them."

Yin Suwen also noticed the coldness in Professor Peng's tone, and her expression became somewhat anxious.

Professor Peng used to treat her like his own daughter, so why is their relationship so distant now?

Just then, Peng Shao's voice rang out from the doorway.

"Take all your things back. My dad doesn't need them. And don't bring up the past anymore. I hope you can stay away from my family in the future and stop bothering them."

Peng Xiaowan was about to go in when she didn't expect Peng Shao to arrive as well.

She turned around and saw Peng Shao standing behind her. After a moment of surprise, she called out, "Brother."

Peng Shao responded and then walked in with Peng Xiaowan.

Upon seeing Peng Shao, Yin Suwen's expression changed slightly.

"I... don't misunderstand, I just heard that Uncle Peng was hospitalized, so I thought I'd come and visit him," Yin Suwen explained to Peng Shao.

"Now that you've seen it, you can leave," Peng Shao said coldly.

Yin Suwen hadn't expected Peng Shao to be so indifferent. She turned to look at Professor Peng, wanting to see what he thought.

After all, Professor Peng had been very kind to her before, so she thought he could put in a good word for her at this time.

Unfortunately, Professor Peng seemed oblivious to her situation and had no intention of helping her at all.

"Uncle Peng, I..." Yin Suwen was still somewhat unwilling.

"You should go back, and don't come here again," Professor Peng said.

It was only then that Peng Xiaowan realized something was wrong. Yin Suwen said that she and Peng Shao had been friends since childhood, but now it seemed that their relationship wasn't so good.

Having no other option, Yin Suwen turned and walked out of the ward.

"Wait a minute," Peng Shao called out to her at this moment.

As he spoke, he carried over all the things that Yin Suwen had brought and threw them directly at the door of the ward.

"Take everything you brought with you."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door to the ward.

Yin Suwen stood at the door, looking at the ward with a disappointed expression. Now even Uncle Peng was unwilling to see her. Did she really have no chance at all?

After Yin Suwen left, Peng Xiaowan looked in the direction of Peng Shao and Professor Peng, and like a child who had done something wrong, hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was the one who told her that her uncle was hospitalized, I didn't expect it..."

"It's not your fault. You don't know what happened. Anyway, if you see her in the future, the farther away you are, the better," Peng Shao said.

"Your brother is right, you don't know what happened before."

Professor Peng couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned this incident. At that time, he was wronged, and none of his friends were willing to stand up for him.

Of course, he wasn't trying to complain; he was just disappointed.

Although he understood their reasons for doing so, he still couldn't accept it.

When Yin Suwen was mentioned, Professor Peng looked at Peng Shao and said, "Speaking of Suwen, I was even thinking of arranging your marriage."

As a father, he was naturally anxious seeing Peng Shao still single.

"It's been so long since then, it's not good to keep bringing it up. I think Suwen still has feelings for you. If you two can get together, let's not bring up those things from the past anymore."

Professor Peng didn't want the previous generation's affairs to affect the relationship between the two children. He just didn't know what his son really thought of Yin Suwen.

"Dad, I have no feelings for her whatsoever, neither in the past nor now. There's no future for us in this lifetime, so please don't mention it again." Peng Shao extinguished Yin Suwen's last glimmer of hope.

Hearing Peng Shao's words from inside, Yin Suwen, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but shed tears.

She sat on a bench in the hospital and cried silently.

At that moment, a man walked over and patted Yin Suwen on the shoulder.

"Suwen, I really like you. Why are you doing this? You've waited for him for so many years, and he doesn't appreciate it at all. We are the most suitable people for each other."

Upon hearing the voice, Yin Suwen looked up and saw the man in front of her, and completely resigned herself to her fate.

The man was introduced to her by her parents, and he has been harassing her for years.

She had originally been prepared to accept, but after hearing Shen Qingshuang mention Peng Shao, she changed her mind.

"If you want to marry me, come to my house and propose." After saying this, Yin Suwen stood up from her chair and walked towards the hospital entrance.

The man was stunned when he heard Yin Suwen's words, but then he was overjoyed when he realized what she meant.

He didn't expect good things to come so quickly.

He had been pursuing her for so long, but Yin Suwen always acted superior and even humiliated him more than once in front of so many people at the hospital.

He couldn't swallow this insult. When the time came to marry her, he was determined to see her begging for mercy on the bed.

It was only then that Peng Xiaowan, who was in the hospital ward, learned about what happened back then.

"If the Yin family had lent a helping hand back then, my uncle and aunt wouldn't have suffered so much all these years, would they?"

She finally understood why Peng Shao treated Yin Suwen that way; Yin Suwen was also a heartless person.

Her uncle used to treat her like his own daughter, but when the Peng family got into trouble, she hid faster than anyone else.

Now that her uncle has finally been exonerated and returned to Beijing, she comes knocking on his door again at this crucial moment. She's utterly shameless.

If she had known about this earlier, she definitely wouldn't have told Yin Suwen about her uncle's hospitalization.

"It's all in the past. Our family and the Yin family will never have any contact again," Peng Shao said.

Speaking of his father's exoneration, before that, he would always have a dream at night in which his parents died in the Gobi Desert.

In his dream, his parents died without ever being exonerated or being able to return to Beijing.

Although his family has now moved to Beijing, he still gets chills whenever he thinks about that dream, because it felt so real.

Even when he later became capable and finally exonerated his parents, they were already gone, and it was too late.

So he kept telling himself that if it weren't for Wenrou's help, his father would probably be dead by now.

Otherwise, he would probably live his whole life filled with regret and remorse for not having the chance to fulfill his filial duties to his parents.

Wenrou was a benefactor to his family, and he would remember this for the rest of his life.

In the future, as long as she is willing, he, Peng Shao, will give her anything he has and help her out without hesitation.

Yin Suwen will never understand this feeling.

Peng Shao called a doctor, who performed a full-body examination on Professor Peng.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did he go to complete the discharge procedures.

Professor Peng originally needed to stay in the hospital for two more days before being discharged, but now, in order to prevent a recurrence of the incident involving Yin Suwen, he simply discharged her ahead of schedule.

Professor Peng's health is much better now, and he can be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.

Professor Peng had also been wanting to go back for a long time, and as soon as he heard that he could go back sooner, he couldn't wait to get out of bed.

"Brother, are you really not going to look for someone else in this lifetime?" After returning home, Peng Xiaowan looked at Peng Shao's lonely figure and asked with concern.

Hearing the voice, Peng Shao turned around and looked at her, smiling as he said, "Just enjoy your life as a couple. I know what I'm doing, so you don't need to worry about me."

Hearing him say that, Peng Xiaowan had no choice but to nod.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to school in a bit."

Peng Xiaowan is going back to school today. She will be on winter break in a few days after the exams. Her classmates have been busy studying these past few days.

Once winter break starts, she can spend some quality time with her family.

Peng Shao happened to be going to check on the progress of the gentle transportation team's construction, so he dropped Peng Xiaowan off at the school gate.

A black sedan stopped at the entrance of Kyoto University.

After all, cars were a rare sight on the streets back then, so being able to afford such a car meant that the person inside was someone of high status.

After Peng Xiaowan got out of the car, many people cast envious glances at her.

When her classmates saw this, they all inquired about Peng Shao's situation.

Peng Xiaowan had originally planned to introduce her classmates to Peng Shao, but now it seemed that even if she did, Peng Shao would definitely not be interested.

So she smiled and said on Peng Shao's behalf, "I'm sorry, my brother already has someone he likes."

Upon hearing Peng Xiaowan's words, those people all showed expressions of disappointment.

Peng Shao is truly top-notch in terms of appearance, temperament, and financial resources. Who wouldn't be tempted by him?

"Who is she to be liked by someone as outstanding as your brother? She must be outstanding too. It's so enviable," someone nearby exclaimed.

Peng Xiaowan smiled after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

Time flies, and after the students' winter vacation, the Chinese New Year will soon be here.

Wenrou couldn't help but sigh. Since arriving in Beijing, the world seemed to have been accelerated. Before she knew it, it was almost New Year's again.

This is her second Chinese New Year in Beijing, but this year is especially lively because her family is welcoming a new member.

As the weather gradually turned colder, Wenrou asked Wen Jinian to put aside the transportation team's affairs for the time being.

"Second brother, when are you planning to take Sister Tan Lin to meet Mom and Dad? They've called several times already, asking when you're going back?" Wenrou asked Wen Jinian.

Wen Jinian had originally planned to find an opportunity to tell Wenrou and the others about his relationship with Tan Lin, but now that they all knew, he no longer intended to hide it.

"I've already bought the tickets, and I'll be going back in a few days." When Tan Lin was mentioned, Wen Jinian couldn't help but show a shy expression.

"Today is the Winter Solstice. We'll go home in a bit, then pick up Sister Tan Lin, and we'll make dumplings together," she said gently with a smile.

Wen Jinian nodded as well; he hadn't been to Wenrou's place in a long time either.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go buy some things for the children first."

Every time Wen Jinian visited, he would bring the children their favorite snacks and toys.

"You already have a lot of stuff at home, so don't buy any more. Don't spoil them."

Wenrou wanted to stop him, but Wen Jinian wouldn't allow it.

"Well, I, as your uncle, can't go home empty-handed, can I? I have to bring some gifts. Don't worry, you'll get yours too." Wen Jinian looked at Wenrou with a doting expression on his face.

No matter what, Wenrou is always his most beloved little sister.

Hearing Wen Jinian's words, Wenrou felt very happy.

After buying the things, Wen Jinian went to pick up Tan Lin.

Whenever Tan Lin visits Wen Rou, she always buys a lot of things for the children.

In addition to what Peng Shao bought, the house is now almost overflowing with snacks and toys.

The two little girls' rooms are overflowing with their snacks and toys, and now even Jiang Yan's room is filled with them.

Tan Lin was also very happy to see Wen Jinian.

It's been almost half a month since they last met. After all, they're a couple in the throes of new love, how could they possibly stand it any longer?

Tan Lin didn't see the gentleness behind Wen Jinian and stepped forward to hug Wen Jinian's waist.

"Why are you here? Did you miss me?"

Wen Jining gave a soft "hmm," then somewhat embarrassedly gestured to Tan Lin that he could reach out his hand if there were others.

Seeing Wenrou, Tan Lin did not let go of her hand.

"What's there to be shy about? Xiao Rou isn't just anyone." Tan Lin said, hugging Wen Jinian even tighter.
