Chapter 82 Slap and Jump into the River: A Massive Explosion, Proving the Truth

The bell rang again and again.

Just as the call was about to end, Wen Yize pressed the answer button.

As expected, the furious roar came crashing down through the network like a storm.

"Wen Yize, you get the hell back here right now!"

"How the hell did I raise such a good-for-nothing like you? You're chasing after a woman and making a fool of yourself everywhere. Now everyone knows that I, Wen Haiyan, gave birth to such an idiot! You actually got slapped in public by a woman!"

"Everyone's waiting to see the Wen family make a fool of themselves! Wen Yize, how are you going to let your father live in the capital after this?!"

"You'd better be back here within a day! Otherwise, don't blame me for having your legs broken! You call yourself a man? You're not even as good as your sister's finger!"

"What a disgrace!"

"..."

One angry voice after another came through the phone. Normally, Wen Yize would have hung up long ago or retorted directly.

But this time, he just listened in silence.

He remained silent.

He let his father, Wen Haiyan, vent his anger.

By the end of his tirade, Wen Haiyan was panting heavily, and even his own words of curse were running out.

We can only issue another warning.

"If you come back on your own, I'll still give you a little face. But if you wait for me to take action, I, Wen Haiyan, will pretend I don't have a good-for-nothing son like you!"

After hanging up the phone, Wen Haiyan angrily smashed his phone against the opposite wall.

"Bang--"

The screen was shattered, but the assistant seemed used to it. He calmly took out a spare phone from the side and replaced the SIM card.

"Keep an eye on that beast. If he refuses to come back, smash that damn variety show. And those who cooperate with the Xu family out of respect for the Wen family, tell them that if they want to follow the Xu family, they should completely sever ties with the Wen family! Let them think carefully about who to choose!"

The assistant, however, was somewhat worried: "But Mr. Wen, the Xu family's business is closely related to the Qin family. The two families have a close relationship. If we do this, what if we anger Old Master Qin..."

"Don't you understand even now that the Xu family has been using the Qin family's name to swindle and deceive people all these years?"

Wen Haiyan sneered, "What bullshit Qin-Xu marriage alliance, wedding at the end of the year. If the Qin family really wanted to marry Xu Lanyan, how could they have let Qin Shu marry Song Ying? The marriage has already been announced, what does Xu Lanyan have to do with it! All these years, we've all been fooled by that Xu guy!"

Mentioning this makes Wen Haiyan angry.

He was wise all his life, but he made a foolish mistake and was fooled by a little girl, which led to his downfall.

As he spoke, Wen Haiyan stood up and straightened his clothes.

"I'm going to the Qin family to pay my respects to Old Master Qin. Keep a close eye on the company and that bastard; make sure there are absolutely no more mistakes!"

#After being slapped by Xu Lanyan, Wen Yize jumped into the river in shame and anger.

The entry went viral.

Wen Yize never expected that his first time trending on social media would be in such an embarrassing way.

When he woke up in the hospital, he was stunned for a while when he saw Wen Jinzhao and the crew of the program.

"It's all for Xu Lanyan, Wen Yize! Do you really think it's that serious? A grown man like you, making a scene and threatening suicide, aren't you ashamed? You even tried to jump into the river to kill yourself, I think you should just drown!"

Upon hearing the continuous barrage of artillery fire, Wen Yize finally realized what was happening.

"Wait—who said I jumped into the river?"

"You didn't jump into the river, so you're lying here?"

"I'm fucking..."

Wen Yize was speechless. "I've nearly drowned before, how could I possibly jump into the river! It's obvious the riverbank railing was loose, I was leaning against it and wasn't paying attention, and I accidentally fell in! I wouldn't jump into the river, would I..."

"It's hard to believe what you're saying," Wen Jinzhao said, expressing his doubt.

When she said goodbye to Qin Shu and Song Ying and came here for a stroll, she happened to witness her lovestruck brother fall into the river.

It couldn't be more real.

"Believe it or not, get out of the way, I want to be discharged."

Wen Yize was about to get up when a sudden headache struck him. "Hiss..."

Wen Jinzhao tried his best to suppress his laughter: "Well, when the rescuers were rescuing you, they didn't hold you properly, and after they pulled you out, you fell to the ground and hit your head... So, you can't be discharged from the hospital yet."

Wen Yize: "..."

Why is it always him who's unlucky?

Wen Yize lay back down. Then, as if remembering something, he picked up his phone and checked the time. It was a little after 3 p.m. in London.

"By the way, how is Lan Yan?"

Lan Yan was in a bad mood after their previous separation.

Although Wen Yize felt that she had changed, they had known each other for six or seven years, so he still showed her the usual concern.

Wen Jinzhao immediately stopped laughing.

"She's much better than you. You have time to worry about her, but why don't you think about whether she even cares about you? Wen Yize, you're such a pig-headed idiot! Take a good look at yourself and see if Xu Lanyan even cares about you!"

As he spoke, Wen Jinzhao took out his phone, opened Weibo, and handed it to Wen Yize.

"Look at yourself, do you think you're worth it?"

On the phone screen, under a news report about Wen Yize falling into the water, someone tagged Xu Lanyan and said some unpleasant things.

[Xu Chacha, your simp is in trouble, aren't you even going to check on him? Someone is willing to die for you, and you have the nerve to remain unmoved, let alone slap him!]

Xu Lanyan's comment is below.

[Xu Lanyan V: What business is it of yours how I handle things? I can't swim, would I jump in and die with you?]

Wen Yize understood Xu Lanyan's anger after being insulted, and even more so, he sympathized with her pain at being morally blackmailed by netizens.

Perhaps in Xu Lanyan's eyes, he was just a clingy, sycophantic lapdog.

These are all facts.

But he also feels sad and uncomfortable.

"Take your phone. I'm going to rest for a bit. Also, if you see Lanyan later, remember to tell her I'm sorry. I dragged her down again today; I couldn't help her win the match..."

Wen Yize put his phone on the bedside table, wrapped himself in the blanket, and curled up in a ball facing inwards.

Wen Jinzhao pulled him up directly.

"Brother, are you really stupid or just pretending? Do you still think Xu Lanyan is the one who saved you? If she had even a shred of conscience, she wouldn't be replying to netizens online and refusing to come to the hospital to see you!"

"Besides, look closely, she said she can't swim! How can someone who can't swim jump into the water to save you! You'd better wake up!"

Wen Yize was startled by what he heard today.

But he quickly convinced himself again.

"That statement was probably just her response to netizens."

Or perhaps, it's also a response to him.

Xu Lanyan now regrets saving him, which is why she would rather say she can't swim than sever ties with him.

"...Wen Yize, has your brain been eaten by a dog? I think you deserve to spend eighty years digging for wild vegetables! I, Wen Jinzhao, dare to swear on my honor that Xu Lanyan really can't swim! Two months ago, we went to the water park together, and she accidentally fell into the pool. She was pulled out by the staff! You can ask everyone who was there at the time if you don't believe me!"

At this point, Wen Jinzhao seemed to remember something, "Oh right, Zhao Qingluo is there too! You can ask her if you don't believe me!"

“We all suspected that the person who saved you wasn’t Xu Lanyan at all, but you just wouldn’t believe it. I told you back then, but you ignored me. If I hadn’t been in a hurry to leave the country, I would have pushed Xu Lanyan into the water right then and there! So you could see for yourself!”

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Wen Yize was stunned.

Could it be that he... really mistook someone for someone else?

While I was still in a daze, I heard a sound outside.

Wen Jinzhao looked at her foolish older brother, shook her head helplessly, and went to see what had happened outside.

But they happened to see the director, as well as the winning and losing couple and the "Love You Forever" couple.

"We heard that Wen Yize had an accident, so we came to visit him."

The speaker was Song Ying, who was carrying gifts in her hand.

"Thank you, Sister Ying and everyone."

Wen Jinzhao took the things, glanced back at the ward, and sighed, "Come in, my brother has already woken up."

The large crowd that entered the room made Wen Yize feel a little embarrassed.

Hiding under the covers, only half of her face was visible.

"I'm fine, you guys should go back now..."

Qin Shu raised an eyebrow. "You speak fluently, so it seems you're really alright. I just wonder if you've gotten a bit more brainwashed again."

Wen Yize: "...Qin Shu, did you come to visit me or to make fun of me?"

Qin Shu: "Now I can understand the implied meaning. This soak was worth it. I've become smarter."

Wen Yize: "..."

I suddenly feel like hitting someone.

However, after falling into the water, my body was still a bit weak.

Wen Yize rolled his eyes at Qin Shu, then remained silent, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces without making a sound.

Everyone was there, except for Xu Lanyan.

Wen Yize seemed a little disappointed.

At this moment, Wen Jinzhao saw Zhao Qingluo acting like a quail and being well-behaved in front of Gu Junting. Remembering what had happened earlier, he immediately reached out to pull Zhao Qingluo.

"Zhao Qingluo, come here, I..."

"What are you doing! Don't hit me! This is a hospital, fighting is not allowed!"

Zhao Qingluo immediately bristled and hid behind Gu Junting.

Although Gu Junting didn't know what was going on, seeing Zhao Qingluo's behavior, he guessed that there might be some grudge between the two, so he stood in front of Zhao Qingluo.

"Miss Wen, please have some self-respect."

Zhao Qingluo was surprised that Gu Junting would protect her, and her heart was filled with sweet joy.

Hiding behind Gu Junting, she stuck her tongue out at Wen Jinzhao and smugly repeated Gu Junting's words.

"Miss Wen, please have some self-respect."

"..." Wen Jinzhao sighed and rolled her eyes. "Hey, Zhao Qingluo, I'm not messing around with you. I have something important to ask you."

"You have something important to do?" Zhao Qingluo asked suspiciously.

"...I asked on behalf of my brother, about Xu Lanyan."

Upon hearing that it was related to Xu Lanyan, Zhao Qingluo immediately became wary.

"Seriously, Wen Jinzhao? You're asking about Xu Lanyan? You haven't caught your brother's love-struck brain and want to help him pursue Xu Lanyan, have you?"

Wen Yize, lying on the bed: "..."

Are you polite?

I'm still here!
