Chapter 437: One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten

Wen Yang was sandwiched between the two of them, like a prisoner being escorted.

She looked around and saw passers-by holding up their phones to take pictures, while others were whispering and pointing.

The feeling of shame rose from the soles of her feet like boiling water, burning her eardrums and making them buzz.

"mom!"

She spoke with difficulty, "Can we find a quiet place to talk..."

"Say it right here!"

Wen Tao interrupted sharply, "You also know how embarrassing it is? When you didn't help me and made me unable to hold my head up in front of the Zhang family and let relatives point fingers at me, why didn't you think about my situation? If you don't transfer the 500,000 yuan today, don't even think about leaving!"

"Five hundred thousand?!"

Wen Yang was shocked, his expression suddenly changed: "Isn't it three hundred thousand?!"

Wen Tao's eyes flickered slightly, and he stiffened his neck and said, "The betrothal gift is 300,000 yuan, but the wedding doesn't cost money, right? Anyway, you must give me 500,000 yuan, not a cent less!"

“........”

Seeing his own brother being so unreasonable, Wen Yang felt like his chest was about to explode.

He stared at Wen Tao with gritted teeth.

Seeing the brother and sister like this, Wen Yang's mother began to sob, wiping her tears with her fingers. "Yangyang, just treat this as one last time helping Mommy, okay? Your dad's temper has been getting worse and worse because of this. I really can't help it. After all, he's your brother, and we're all family. If you don't help him, who will?"

There were a few bruises faintly visible on Wang Mingxia's wrists.

Wen Yang lifted her sleeves and said in shock: "My dad hit you again?"

Wang Mingxia lowered her eyes and wiped away her tears. "I'm fine. Your father just drank too much and is in a bad mood. That's why... I can understand."

“........”

These words were like a blunt knife, stabbing into the softest part of Wen Yang's heart.

It was always these words. When she was admitted to university, she was forced to drop out of school and she refused to agree. She also said these words when her father pinned her to the ground and beat her.

Not only did he make excuses for his father, he also said that it was not easy for your brother to find a job, and it didn't matter whether a girl went to college or not, because she would have to find a husband in the future anyway. Instead of spending that money on college, it would be better to use your connections to find a good job for your brother.

As long as your brother works well and lives a good life, even if you get married in the future, your in-laws will not dare to look down on you, and your brother can still help you then.

Wen Yang went to university under threat of death.

Not only that, except for the tuition for the first semester, she promised not to ask her family for a penny during her four years in college.

Even so, she still had to send money back home during college, otherwise they would arrange blind dates for her and get her married at any time.

In the past, Wen Yang would feel distressed when she saw a mother like this.

But now, she just felt powerless.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. It's all their own fault. No one can sympathize with them.

"Mom! Then tell me how can I help?!"

Wen Yang's voice began to tremble. "Since I started working, haven't I given enough to my family? You want to pay for my brother's wedding house in full, and I've already given him 200,000 yuan. I really don't have any money left!"

Wen Tao sneered and suddenly grabbed her bag: "No money? Who are you trying to fool?"

He rummaged around, pulling out all the cosmetics, phone, and wallet from Wen Yang's bag. "If you don't have money, what are all these things for?! The latest foldable phone is at least ten or twenty thousand, right?! And these cosmetics, I've seen them at Meimei's, they're all famous brands, each one costs hundreds or even thousands!"

He opened his wallet again and pulled out the cards inside: "And these cards! I don't believe there's not a penny in them. Do you think we're fools?!"

"I said I don't have it! The phone was a gift from a friend, and the cosmetics were also given to me by someone else. There's no money left in the card!"

"Are all these things gifts from friends?"

Wen Tao laughed sarcastically: "That friend is so generous, why don't you tell me, I'll go ask your friend for some too!"

"Wen Tao! Don't go too far!"

Wen Yang reached out to grab her bag back, but her mother held her tightly.

Wen Yang was shocked: "Mom! What are you doing?!"

"Yangyang, Mom knows you are rich, so please help your brother!"

Wen Tao unlocked her phone right in front of her face, rummaged through the address book, and was about to make a call: "I remember your friend's surname seemed to be Xu, right? I saw her on TV a while ago, and she seemed to be quite rich. In that case, she shouldn't mind helping your brother! I'll call her now!"

More and more people gathered around.

Wen Yang saw someone live streaming, with the camera focused directly on her miserable appearance.

Xingli is just getting started, and Fangli has already been upset enough by the online public opinion some time ago. If her story is spread online again...

"Don't hit me! I'll give it to you!"

She finally gave in, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "I'll give you money..."

Wen Tao smiled triumphantly and let go of her wrist.

Throw the bag along with the phone to her.

Wen Yang caught the bag awkwardly and took out his wallet tremblingly. There wasn't much cash in it, but he still had a few credit cards that could cover his overdraft.

She mechanically calculated how much she could come up with, her mind going blank.

"What are you doing?"

The low, cold voice split the noisy crowd like a bolt of lightning.

Wen Yang looked up suddenly and saw Yu Tian striding towards him in a neat black jacket. His neat temples and pale scalp were faintly visible under the light.

He was followed by two other muscular men.

"Yu Tian......."

Wen Yang couldn't believe his eyes, "You still need a while..."

Yu Tian didn't answer, but just stood in front of her, separating her from her family with his body.

He was half a head taller than Wen Tao. The majesty brought by years of military service and his cold aura made the surroundings quiet in an instant.

"It seems you didn't listen to my warning in the restaurant last time."

Yu Tian's tone was cold, like a knife. "Do you want to give up your hand this time, or do you want to give up the right to walk?"

I don't know why.

Although this is a society ruled by law, Wen Tao doesn't think Yu Tian dares to do this.

But I still couldn't help but feel my heart tremble when I heard it.

Wen Tao's face turned pale and he subconsciously took a step back: "It's none of your business if I ask my sister for money!"

Yu Tian sneered, took Wen Yang's hand and hid her behind him: "I'm Yang Yang's boyfriend, do you think it's none of my business?"

This sentence exploded around like a bomb.

Boy friend?

Wen Yang looked at her mother almost immediately. Sure enough, her mother was still worried about her son, but after hearing this, she immediately looked at Yu Tian.

The look in his eyes gradually changed from shock at the beginning to suspicion, and some memories that had been buried for many years seemed to be being evoked bit by bit.

"You...have I seen you somewhere?" Wen Yang's mother suddenly said.
