The Wen family banquet ended awkwardly because of Wen Yi's performance.
Wen's mother took on all the burdens alone and was too ashamed to face the guests, so Wen Ge personally saw them off one by one.
In the Wen family's living room, the servants accompanied Wen Ge to see the guests off, leaving only Wen's parents, Wen Yi, Xiao Kongkong, two coffins, and other staff members in the entire living room.
Standing beside Wen's mother, Wen's father's face had been extremely grim ever since the guests left. His gaze at Wen Yi was like poison, as if he wanted to rush up and deal with Wen Yi completely.
At this moment, Wen's mother looked up at Wen Yi with a bewildered expression, unable to understand why Wen Yi could do such a thing.
Faced with her parents' gazes, Wen remained calm and said to Xiao Kongkong, "Take the others and go outside to wait for me."
Xiao Kongkong looked at Wen Yi with concern, "Second Madam, this..."
The Wen family's commotion has caused them to lose face. Now that the guests have left, the Wen family will definitely start to settle scores with Wen Yi. Who knows what kind of trouble will ensue next?
"Second Madam, you are the Second Madam of the Imperial Garden."
Xiao Kongkong said this.
She knew that with Wen Yi's intelligence, she must know her own situation. Xiao Kongkong only hinted at it, telling Wen Yi that the second master of Yutingyuan was outside, and these people could be provided for Wen Yi's use. She wouldn't suffer any loss, nor was it worth it for her to suffer any loss.
Wen Yi reached out and patted Xiao Kongkong's shoulder. "I know. You guys wait for me outside. I'll be out in about half an hour."
Xiao Kongkong opened her mouth, not understanding why Wen Yi insisted that she and the bodyguards from Yutingyuan leave. But Wen Yi was, after all, the wife of Yutingyuan. Even if Xiao Kongkong didn't understand, her status was what it was, and she couldn't interfere too much.
"I understand, Second Madam."
Wen Yi put her hand down. "Go."
Xiao Kongkong glanced at Wen's parents twice, then gave a look to the bodyguards at Yutingyuan, and left with his men.
The living room was now completely empty except for Wen's parents and Wen Yi.
Wen Yi didn't say anything, and Wen's parents didn't say anything either, just staring at Wen Yi with the look of someone looking at an ingrate.
The atmosphere in the living room reached its most eerie point.
Until Wen Ge returned.
Seeing this scene, Wen Ge sighed helplessly, walked over to her parents, and took her mother's hand.
"Mom, I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble."
Wen's mother was deeply moved by Wen Ge's words, and tears streamed down her face. It was shameful for her to admit to being unfilial to her parents in front of everyone, but if she didn't admit it at that moment, the Wen family would be disgraced and their reputation would be ruined.
She could only sacrifice her own interests and accept all the bad things.
There is still a lot of bitterness in my heart.
But all the bitterness vanished the moment Wen Ge said, "I'm sorry you've suffered." Wen's mother felt that her acknowledgment had been worthwhile.
My daughter is thoughtful; she remembers all the good things about me.
Father Wen snorted coldly, still in a state of satisfaction. He glanced at Wen Yi, this time too lazy to care. "You can get out of here. Don't ever come back to the Wen family. The Wen family doesn't need an ingrate like you."
"Dad," Wen Ge grabbed her father, "Can you give me some time to handle this?"
She is calm and composed.
Although Wen's father's face was still grim, his expression softened slightly after Wen Ge's words of comfort.
They were all very satisfied with what Wen Ge had done.
This is what Wen Yi felt when he looked at all of this.
Wen Ge was very satisfied that she would become the focus and the center of attention in handling matters, and that her parents would listen to her.
Wen Ge comforted her parents and had them sit on the sofa before walking over to Wen Yi.
Wen Ge faced Wen Yi directly and sighed, "Sister, you really made a mistake in this matter."
Wen Yi stared coldly at Wen Ge without responding, wanting to see how Wen Ge would fabricate her story.
Wen Ge said, "The incident involving my grandparents was strange. The son of the driver who brought my grandparents back worked at our Wen family company, but he was fired because he accepted bribes. The driver's father was also fired along with him. That was his last job in our family."
"Moreover, the driver also purchased a huge insurance policy last month. Given all of this, we have reason to suspect that there is something fishy about this car accident, and it needs time to be investigated."
Hearing Wen Ge's explanation, Wen Yi asked in return, "Because of this, do we have to put Grandpa and Grandma in the morgue together?"
“If we bring them back for burial, it means this matter is over, and it will be difficult for us to continue the investigation,” Wen Ge said solemnly. “They are not only my sister’s maternal grandparents, but also my maternal grandparents, my mother’s parents, and my father’s parents-in-law. We are all one family. How could we be so cruel as to leave the two elderly people alone and helpless in the morgue?”
"But more important than all of that is the truth behind their deaths!"
Wen Ge reached out and pressed Wen Yi's shoulder, "Sister, we also want Grandpa and Grandma to leave this world with a clear conscience, instead of carrying a heavy burden of injustice."
"But you don't care. The morgue has time limits. Do you want Grandpa and Grandma to be taken to the crematorium and burned like this?"
"I spoke like that because I knew the hospital had taken money and deliberately made me dispose of the body under this pretext to resolve the matter and allow the driver's child to successfully receive the insurance money. This wasn't the first time they'd done this, which is why I spoke like that."
At this moment, Wen's mother stepped forward, somewhat agitated, "Do you think those are my parents? Do you really think I'm so heartless?"
Wen Ge continued, "Since yesterday, the hospital has been saying that if we don't claim the body before midnight, it will be sent to the crematorium. It's all just to scare people. We have people watching over it. Even if the hospital really does send it, we won't let them!"
"Wen Yi, this world isn't just about you valuing family ties while everyone else is cold-blooded," Wen's mother said coldly.
Wen Yi felt a pang of pain in her heart because of those words.
Wen Ge sighed, "Sister, you really made a mistake in this matter."
Wen Yi shifted her gaze to Wen Ge and asked softly, "Did I do something wrong?"
Wen Ge nodded. "Yes, sister, you made a mistake. You were wrong to treat everyone else as cold-blooded. Your parents made you marry in their place for your future, but you feel that your parents are not good to you. But in fact, where are there really parents who are not good to their children? Where are there really children who sit idly by and do nothing for their parents?"
Wen Ge pleaded earnestly, "Sister, please don't make the same mistake again, and don't get stuck on this. Let's be a good family together, okay?"
"Sister, I want to awaken you with family love. Please give me this chance."
Wen Ge was deeply moved as she held Wen Yi's hand tightly, saying, "We are family, we are a family connected by blood. The kinship between us is priceless and cannot be deceived, sister!"
