In the third year of their marriage, Wen Jingyi's husband, Shen Zekai, died in a car accident.
Little did she know, her husband, whom she loved with all her heart, had faked his death and...
The police station was in complete chaos.
Not only did the onlookers have strange expressions on their faces, but they also looked at the family with indescribable speechlessness.
And from time to time they looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds.
That means Wen Jingyi is unlucky to have run into this family.
Mrs. Wen and the others were arguing even more.
Mrs. Wen, who was in the center of the crowd, now insisted that it was all Wen Jingyi's fault that the unfilial daughter refused to help.
I saw that my future son-in-law's business was really struggling, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. It was just a family prank, and there was no need to report it to the police.
No one who heard it felt anything but dizziness.
The most desperate person is no less than Shen Zekai himself.
At this moment, he wished he had never appeared. Staring at the strange looks of the crowd, he gritted his teeth and angrily scolded Madam Wen in a low voice:
"Auntie! When did I ever tell you I needed this money? You're... you, you're just being ridiculous!"
"Zerui..."
On the side, Bai Mengqiu spoke weakly, pulling Shen Zekai and disagreeing: "Mom is also doing this for your own good."
"And you!"
Shen Zekai was so angry that his head was throbbing with pain. He threw Bai Mengqiu away and said, "Auntie doesn't understand, and you don't understand either. This is how you accompany Auntie to make trouble!"
It's really embarrassing.
The Shen family's reputation has been completely disgraced by these mother and daughter.
What Shen Zekai is most worried about now is whether the Shen family’s stock market can be stabilized if such a scandal is known to the outside world!
"I want to help you too..." Bai Mengqiu said sobbingly.
In the past, Shen Zekai would have softened his heart on the spot and held Bai Mengqiu in his arms.
But for some reason today, Shen Zekai suddenly thought of Wen Jingyi.
Whenever she was in trouble, Wen Jingyi would always quietly find ways to raise money for her, and she would never cry...
"You are not even a bit inferior to your sister."
Shen Zekai's face darkened, and he pried Bai Mengqiu's hand away in disappointment. He shook his head coldly and said, "You still don't know what trouble you've gotten yourself into."
Bai Mengqiu's crying suddenly stopped.
What did she just hear?
What did Shen Zerui say...
"I'm not as good as Wen Jingyi?" She murmured to herself, raised her sparkling eyes, and took two fragile steps back: "You know very well that I can never compare to my sister, and I'm most afraid of others comparing me to her."
Shen Zekai indifferently turned his gaze away and looked at Wen Jingyi.
From the very beginning, Wen Jingyi folded her arms and watched this farce coldly.
He could no longer see any emotion on her face, not even disappointment.
At this time, Wen Jingyi suddenly spoke: "Comrade police, now that the truth has been revealed, Mrs. Wen colluded with the kidnappers to disrupt public order and morality, and slandered me and committed fraud against me, you can do whatever you need to do."
"I don't accept the forgiveness." There was no emotion in her expression.
From the beginning to the end, Wen Jingyi was a completely innocent victim.
The police were originally waiting for her reaction. After all, they were family. What if Wen Jingyi softened her heart...
Seeing Wen Jingyi say this, there was silence for a moment.
When Mrs. Wen saw that she was actually going to be locked up, the arrogance and self-righteousness on her face disappeared, and she glared at Wen Jingyi:
"I'm your mother!"
"No, you can't lock me up. I didn't do this."
"Mother……"
Mrs. Wen was about to point out Bai Mengqiu in a hurry, but she heard Bai Mengqiu's soft and affectionate voice.
She suddenly lost her strength and looked at Bai Mengqiu with a pale face.
It was as if I saw the baby in my arms that I adopted many years ago.
This is the child that I raise wholeheartedly as my own daughter!
"Okay, I plead guilty." Mrs. Wen said in a hoarse voice.
The hall finally returned to calm.
Wen Jingyi paused for a long time, standing there with her eyes half lowered, always fixed on the place where Mrs. Wen had just stood and accused her.
Those who knew the truth did not dare to disturb her, and Mo Yunfan stayed with Wen Jingyi silently for a while.
He said worriedly: "Mrs. Wen has brought this upon herself. If you are truly sad, then—"
"Of course she deserves it!"
Wen Jingyi suddenly raised her head, without any loss or sadness on her face. Instead, she looked relaxed: "There's no need for me to be sad because of unimportant people."
She noticed Mo Yunfan's worry and smiled, saying cheerfully, "They're just clowns. Now they have to pay the price. I can't be happier."
As for whether there are any other thoughts.
Wen Jingyi thought about it, and besides being shocked, she also felt a sense of sudden enlightenment and relief.
No wonder Bai Mengqiu grew up to be what he is now.
If I had lived in the Wen family when I was a child, would I be the second Bai Mengqiu?
She suddenly missed her adoptive parents and that incredibly warm little home which, although not wealthy, was filled with enough love.
"let's go."
Wen Jingyi turned and left: "This matter is over."
After she left, Mo Yunfan looked deeply at Wen Jingyi's back.
I was wrong.
After being neglected by the Wen family for many years, Wen Jingyi became much more sober and powerful than anyone imagined.
She set up a clear line of defense for herself.
This wall excludes the Wen family, so a group of outsiders naturally cannot affect Wen Jingyi's life.
But what about others...
Mo Yunfan closed his eyes and thought casually that he was probably still outside the wall.
On this side, Wen Jingyi adjusted her mood and went to work the next day.
Compared to the Wen family's unreasonable behavior, the most important thing for her is always to find out the truth about her adoptive parents' death.
She had been secretly contacting people around Mo Yunfan from the very beginning.
I heard that his personal assistant has been following Mo Yunfan for many years.
"Assistant Zhao," Wen Jingyi said with a smile, carrying two cups of coffee and just in time to Mo Yunfan's personal assistant, "Buy one, get one free. Can you help me with this?"
"It's you again, what a coincidence."
Wen Jingyi hid the dark light in her eyes and sighed, "It seems that our schedules must have overlapped. We can meet here every day."
He didn't mention at all that he had observed Assistant Zhao's travel habits many days in advance.
The two chatted enthusiastically, and when they were about to go upstairs to say goodbye, Wen Jingyi waved her hand and took the initiative to say goodbye: "I'll be leaving first."
"Take care."
Assistant Zhao looked at her leaving back, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Holding the coffee, he turned and went to Mo Yunfan's office: "Mr. Mo, this was sent by Miss Wen today. She is still testing the waters and didn't ask any more questions."
"I understand. Go ahead."
"……yes."
Assistant Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
If at the beginning, I couldn't confirm whether Wen Jingyi was deliberately approaching me.
But the many coincidences that have happened now are enough to illustrate the problem.
He closed the door quietly. In the empty office, Mo Yunfan raised his hand and threw the coffee into the trash can. His bony fingers tightened with uncontrollable disappointment and anger.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, and after his eyes regained clarity, he went straight to Wen Jingyi.
He got straight to the point and asked, "I heard you have a close relationship with Assistant Director Zhao?"
