Chapter 145 She Dislikes His Character

However, Wen Jinshu did not remain silent. She continued, "After being beaten, that man made an outrageous demand, asking for a thousand yuan before he would be willing to settle the matter."

"Bang!" Wen Changyu slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Wishful thinking!"

"Well, we didn't agree either, so I asked Jiang Yu to help me deal with that man."

"Jiang Yu is more professional than us in this area."

Wen Changyu frowned even more deeply, but said nothing.

Wen Jinshu brought up Jiang Yu to see how his father would avoid the topic of divorce; if he was very reluctant, it would be a real problem.

Fortunately, his father is a man who can let go of things easily.

It seems they don't really care about appearances.

Then he said, "Zhizhi said that she saw Mom with that man this morning, it looked like they were looking at the shop."

"And that man looks quite like Qianqian."

Wen Changyu didn't react much to looking at the shop or anything, but he did resemble Wen Qianqian...

Wen Changyu immediately looked up, "Looks like Qianqian?"

"How come she looks like Qianqian?"

“Qianqian was adopted from the countryside by your aunt. She was a child that no one could afford to raise…” He paused, and his stiff neck finally gave way.

Because he too sensed a conspiracy.

"We should ask your aunt to find out what's going on."

“I called my aunt in the evening and told her that Qianqian is going on a blind date tomorrow. My mom feels sorry for Qianqian and wants to find more people to accompany her, so she asked my aunt to come too. She has already agreed and will come to Beijing early tomorrow morning.”

"Dad, what if Qianqian's biological family isn't with Auntie's side..."

Wen Changyu dared not think any further.

If Wen Qianqian wasn't adopted by someone Xu Junjun randomly chose, then all of this was a complete conspiracy.

Who exactly Wen Changyu has been raising his daughter for all these years, perhaps only Xu Shanshan knows.

Just then, Wen Zhizhi called from downstairs, "Dad, the phone!"

Xu Shanshan called Wen Changyu to inform him that they would be processing their divorce certificate the next day.

"Are you having someone else get this divorce certificate, or should I go with you to get it?" Xu Shanshan asked coldly on the other end of the phone.

Thinking about everything Wen Jinshu had said, Wen Changyu said, "If you have time, come to my house tomorrow at noon!"

As soon as Wen Changyu finished speaking, Xu Shanshan started speaking sarcastically, "Yes, I know you, Commander, have a lot of influence, so I'll accommodate you."

Wen Changyu was annoyed by these words. He wanted to say, when did he ever ask Xu Shanshan to give in to him?

Isn't it always him accommodating Xu Shanshan?

But the call was already disconnected on the other end.

Wen Changyu held the phone receiver, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and he remained silent, unwilling to speak.

Wen Jinzhou handed him a cup of tea. "Dad, tea!"

Wen Changyu waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn't drink, and went back inside.

Wen Jinshu took the tea from Wen Jinzhou's hand, saying, "I'll be working overtime tonight."

Wen Jinzhou: "...Next time, just ask me to do something directly. You don't need to bring up Dad."

Wen Jinshu simply said, "Thank you!"

Wen Changyu hung up the phone, and only then could Zhizhi have a long chat with Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin's first words were, "I tried calling just now, but the line was always busy."

Zhizhi nodded. "Yes, my mom called my dad."

Then Zhizhi whispered into the microphone, "Let me tell you, it's possible that my mom deliberately threw me away when I was little."

Zhou Lin: "...Don't be sad."

Zhizhi shook her head. "I'm not sad. Why should I be sad? She doesn't love me, and I don't love her. There's nothing to be sad about."

“I…I love you,” Zhou Lin said, his face flushed red in the empty office, because of those words.

Wen Zhizhi "??"

“You just said… I didn’t quite hear you, you… say it again,” she said, unable to contain her excitement.

Zhou Lin was certain she had heard him clearly.

“Take good care of yourself over there. If you don’t feel comfortable, come back. I’ll come see you as soon as I have time off,” Zhou Lin said.

Wen Zhizhi was as anxious as a monkey in a tree, scratching her head and buttocks, "No, that's not the sentence."

"It's getting late, go to sleep!" Zhou Lin said again.

Wen Zhizhi was still anxious, "It's not that sentence either."

“Yes…” Wen Zhizhi glanced at her grandmother, who was still sitting in the living room watching TV with her, and was too embarrassed to say it aloud. “Good night,” she said with a hint of regret.

"Good night," Zhou Lin said tenderly.

Wen Zhizhi: The man who steals hearts.

That night, some slept soundly, while others couldn't sleep. The next day, the sun rose as usual.

Wen Zhizhi called Director Liu early in the morning to ask if the repair materials had arrived. If not, she could skip work without a second thought; if they had arrived, she would ask for leave and skip work. In short, she had to skip work today and she had to get her share of this gossip.

That day, everyone at the Wen family's house was at home except for Lin Wenwen, who was at work and didn't dare to gossip too much about her in-laws' affairs.

Wen Jinshu personally went to the train station to pick up Xu Junjun.

The Wen family is waiting for the truth of what happened back then, while Xu Shanshan is still thinking about how to make Wen Changyu and the Wen family understand that Wen Changyu was never good enough for her from the beginning when she came to the Wen family to get the divorce certificate.

Even though Wen Changyu is now a commander, she still looks down on him.

She looked down on Wen Changyu and preferred to eat plain noodles with Wang Jinghui, content with just love.

How could she make Wen Changyu understand that she looked down on his character...?

The phone call Xu Shanshan made to Wen Changyu yesterday instantly gave her immense confidence. Wen Changyu asked her to come to the Wen family home to get the divorce certificate, and she guessed that Wen Changyu still had feelings for her and couldn't bear to get a divorce.

Sending her back means she'll definitely want to keep bothering you.

But she wouldn't soften her heart. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about how to humiliate Wen Changyu after arriving at the Wen family, so that he would know his place.

She even put on makeup when she got up in the morning. She was a rich girl when she was young, and her best skill was dressing up.

She was beautiful to begin with, and she'll still be beautiful as she gets older. With a little makeup and her confidence, she remains radiant and beautiful.

Even Wen Qianqian couldn't help but praise, "Mom, you look so beautiful today."

Xu Shanshan smiled slightly and said nothing.

——

At the Wen family's place, Wen Jinshu picked up Xu Junjun at the station around 9 o'clock. Xu Junjun brought two old hens and a basket of eggs with her.

Upon seeing Wen Jinshu, Xu Junjun said happily, "Why did I make you come all this way? It wouldn't matter who came."

Xu Junjun and her husband live in a small city under the jurisdiction of Beijing. They are ordinary employees with four children, so they are very simple and unassuming.

She was wearing cloth shoes, blue cloth trousers, and a gray-yellow coat over a thick sweater. She had a simple smile on her face, which made her look very approachable.

But then I thought of Wen Qianqian…

Wen Jinshu opened the trunk, took the things from her hands and put them in the trunk, then smiled and said, "Qianqian's blind date is a big deal. I'll help out at home."

Xu Junjun smiled and asked, "Which one did you choose?"

Without waiting for Wen Jinshu's reply, she smiled and said, "It must be someone from a family of similar social standing to yours. Your mother dotes on Qianqian like it's her own eyeball, she definitely wouldn't want her to suffer."

"Qianqian is such a lucky girl," she said, seemingly with a hint of envy.

Wen Jinshu smiled but remained silent.

Fortunately, he was always a man of few words, so Xu Junjun didn't think much of it.

Until he entered the Wen family's house.

Xu Junjun saw Zhizhi standing next to He Yuzhi...
