Chapter 130: Using Money to Force Her Daughter to Leave?

After going downstairs for breakfast and calling Director Liu to ask for leave, Zhizhi and He Yuzhi packed up and headed to the teahouse Xu Shanshan had mentioned.

Zhizhi and He Yuzhi arrived first. Considering that Xu Shanshan must have something to say to Zhizhi, the grandmother and granddaughter originally planned to ask for two private rooms.

But when they got to the private room, they found that there was a screen inside. Zhizhi sat behind the screen and asked He Yuzhi, "Grandma, can you see me?"

He Yuzhi glanced at it and shook her head, "I can't see it!"

Then the old lady went over and said, "I'll sit here in the back later. I can hear things more clearly from here, and if anything happens, I can rush over faster."

"Yes, I feel more at ease with Grandma here," Zhizhi said, clinging to the old lady's arm affectionately, making the old lady happy.

Grandma and granddaughter Zhizhi arrived at the teahouse around 8 o'clock, and Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian arrived after 9 o'clock.

The waiter knocked on the door and said, "Madam, your guest has arrived."

He Yuzhi quickly moved behind the screen and sat down.

Wen Zhizhi then called out to the door, "Come in!"

The waiter opened the door, and Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian entered the private room.

Neither the mother nor the daughter thought much of Wen Zhizhi, so they didn't even bother to look at the private room.

Xu Shanshan walked straight to Wen Zhizhi and sat down opposite her. She put down her bag and said, "I thought it would take you some time to find this place."

These words revealed her arrogance.

Even though Wen Zhizhi was her biological daughter, she looked down on her and mocked Wen Zhizhi's upbringing.

Wen Zhizhi didn't indulge her either. Looking at her, she smiled and said, "I don't know, but the Wen family's guards do."

Wen Zhizhi was telling her through this sentence that no matter what her upbringing was like, she was the biological daughter of the Wen family, and she could rightfully have all the resources.

And aren't all of these things exactly what Xu Shanshan had been scheming for Wen Qianqian?

As expected, these words broke Xu Shanshan's defenses, and her arrogant demeanor immediately changed.

Wen Zhizhi ignored her and asked, "I had someone brew some tea in advance, pre-Qingming Longjing. I don't know if you like it."

Longjing, green tea.

Wen Zhizhi didn't know if she could understand or not, but it didn't matter anyway, since she was a "green tea" herself!

Wen Zhizhi reached out and poured her a cup of tea in advance.

Wen Qianqian didn't sit down from the moment she entered the room, looking down on Wen Zhizhi, and stood in front of the table with her arms crossed.

At this moment, Wen Zhizhi had no choice but to look at her and ask, "Would you like a drink?"

Wen Qianqian stared at her, her gaze much deeper than it had been a few days ago at the Wen family home. At least for now, Wen Zhizhi couldn't understand what she was thinking.

But don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.

Wen Qianqian didn't speak, so Xu Shanshan spoke for her, "I didn't invite you here today for tea."

Wen Zhizhi picked up her teacup and took a sip; this tea was quite expensive.

"Yes, please go ahead," Wen Zhizhi said politely.

That's what green tea is like.

Xu Shanshan opened her bag and took out a stack of newspaper-wrapped items. Judging by the size of the stack, Wen Zhizhi guessed it was money.

Xu Shanshan pushed the tall stack of things in front of her, "Five thousand yuan!"

Wen Zhizhi sipped her tea, indicating her confusion, "Hmm?"

"Leave here now and go back to Jiangcheng. Don't come to Beijing again."

Wen Zhizhi looked completely bewildered. "Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma are all here. How can I see them if I don't come to Beijing?"

Xu Shanshan glanced at her. "Do you think they need you to see this?"

"During the twenty years you lost, did any member of the Wen family die because of you?"

Her words made He Yuzhi so angry that she was about to stand up from behind the screen, but Wen Zhizhi put her hand under the table and waved it at the old lady.

The old woman suppressed her anger and continued to pretend to be mute.

Wen Zhizhi glanced at Xu Shanshan, her gaze finally settling on the tall stack of money. "But I don't understand. I'm your own daughter. I was lost for twenty years, and I've finally come back. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Xu Shanshan scoffed at her words, "If possible, I would only wish I had never given birth to you."

Wen Zhizhi was even more puzzled. "Why?"

This time, Xu Shanshan pursed her lips and did not answer.

Wen Zhizhi stared at the stack of money and tried to guess, "I was lost right after I was born, and you haven't welcomed me since I came back. I don't think it's because of me personally that you're rejecting me. So... is it because you don't like Dad?"

After Wen Zhizhi finished speaking, she stared at Xu Shanshan's face.

Xu Shanshan's facial muscles trembled violently at these words.

It's clear that she reacted strongly to that statement.

Perhaps she really wanted Wen Zhizhi to leave, or perhaps she really disliked Wen Changyu, so Xu Shanshan told Wen Zhizhi with red eyes, "That's right, I don't like him, I've never liked him, and I don't want to give birth to you."

Wen Zhizhi: "...Uh, then why did you marry him in the first place?"

Xu Shanshan became even more agitated, her voice unconsciously rising, "Do you think I want to get married?"

“Back then, my parents suffered because of family troubles, and my sister and I were about to be caught in the same situation. What could I do?”

"If it weren't for... if it weren't for, do you think I would have married him?"

"Did he force you?" Wen Zhizhi couldn't help but ask.

Xu Shanshan was so angry by her words that she trembled all over and glared at her with even more resentment.

Wen Zhizhi shrugged. "Uh, sorry, I'm a pretty straightforward person. I always say what I think. If I accidentally offended anyone, please don't take it to heart."

"This is the money..." Wen Zhizhi pushed it back, "Take it back!"

Xu Shanshan frowned. "Not enough?"

Wen Zhizhi laughed, "Of course, I don't think I need to tell you how valuable the Commander's only daughter is, do I?"

"Putting that aside, the people you're asking me to leave are all my brothers and sisters, so... well," Wen Zhizhi rubbed her fingers, "I'll have to pay more."

Xu Shanshan frowned even more deeply. "How much more do you want to add?"

Wen Zhizhi swiped the money. "Five thousand yuan per person!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Shanshan asked.

Wen Zhizhi told her, "If you give me five thousand yuan for each member of the Wen family, I will leave Beijing."

"Bang!" Xu Shanshan stood up abruptly and slammed her hand on the table. "You dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!"

"Who is it, you or Zhizhi who is making such a huge demand?" He Yuzhi could no longer hold back and stepped out from behind the screen.

The old lady stared coldly at her daughter-in-law, "Xu Shanshan, I believe that no one in the Wen family has wronged you, but how have you repaid the Wen family?"

"You know perfectly well how much everyone in the Wen family has missed Zhizhi all these years, but what about you?"

What are you doing right now?

The old woman angrily walked to the table and overturned the money on it. "Are you throwing money at your own daughter to force her to leave?"

"Xu Shanshan, you're really something, and you've got quite the nerve!"

Xu Shanshan was completely stunned when the old lady walked out from behind the screen. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she couldn't utter a single word.

He turned to look at Wen Zhizhi, staring at her in disbelief, probably never expecting that he would be outmaneuvered by her.

Or perhaps they can't believe that someone like her would fall for someone as naive and inexperienced as Zhizhi.

He Yuzhi held Zhizhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi, let's go. I will tell your dad everything that happened today, without missing a single word!"
