Wen Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile.
As Mr. Zhan reprimanded Zhan Yaya, none of the onlookers had a pleasant expression.
The Zhan family will cause trouble for Hang Seng in the future, and Royal Garden can even take this opportunity to take action against the Zhan family.
As for whether the final outcome would be the annexation of the Zhan family into the Imperial Garden, or the use of the Zhan family to achieve some other purpose, Wen Yi had no idea, nor did he care to know.
She should accept all of this.
After all, they were a couple working together, and Yutingyuan could gain many benefits by taking advantage of her, so she had nothing to complain about.
Before, he would call for Master Gu whenever he needed something.
Same.
"This matter concerning the Second Madam is actually not..."
Xiao Kongkong tried to explain something, but Wen Yi stopped her, saying, "There's no need to say anything more. I know, and besides, I don't want to hear it."
Xiao Kongkong, who had tried to explain, couldn't bring himself to continue explaining after hearing Wen Yi's words.
Moreover, even if she were to explain, she might not be able to explain it clearly, and she might make things worse by trying to explain.
“Second Madam, you can now intervene as a victim,” Xiao Kongkong reminded her of the current situation.
"Is this Second Master's request?" Wen Yi suddenly asked.
Xiao Kongkong shook his head. "Second Master didn't make any demands. What he meant was that Second Madam could leave whenever she wanted at this stage."
"Since there are no requests, let's go. I'm very tired."
Wen Yi dragged her wet body forward, and Xiao Kongkong hurriedly stepped forward to help the Second Madam leave.
"Miss Wen, please wait a moment."
Just as Wen Yi was about to leave, a voice behind him reminded him.
It was precisely because of this voice that Wen Yi became the focus of everyone's attention.
Wen Yi was nobody's business; everyone's attention was focused on Zhan Yaya's words and Mr. Zhan's current treatment of her. Nobody had time to care about Wen Yi.
This outburst directly thrust Wen Yi, the victim, into the spotlight.
Wen turned around and saw Mr. Zhan pushing his wheelchair in from outside the crowd.
"Ms. Wen, I'm so sorry. My sister's rash behavior today startled you," Mr. Zhan said politely.
Wen shook her head. "It's nothing."
"Didn't you see that Miss Wen is all wet?" Mr. Zhan suddenly said in a cold voice.
Immediately afterwards, a servant came over and draped a bathrobe over Wen Yi's shoulders.
Xiao Kongkong was still holding a dry towel, but didn't have a chance to drape it over Wen Yi.
“Miss Wen, I’ll have the maid take you upstairs to take a shower and change your clothes, and then I’ll have my sister serve you tea to apologize,” Mr. Zhan said.
Wen Yi frowned. "No need. This matter is over."
"This matter has escalated to this point because the Zhan family failed to make proper arrangements and manage the people. Miss Wen, is your refusal due to an inability to forgive Ya Ya?"
Wen frowned, about to speak, when Mr. Zhan added, "If Miss Wen feels that having Ya Ya pour tea as an apology is not sincere enough, then as her brother, I cannot shirk my responsibility and apologize to you on Ya Ya's behalf."
“As a father, I also have to apologize.” Mr. Zhan walked over, leaning on his cane.
The two members of the Zhan family, the old and the young, spoke so eloquently, standing in front of Wen Yi and in front of so many people, seemingly adopting a humble attitude while actually exerting pressure.
“An apology is unnecessary. Our Miss Wen has other matters to attend to and must leave now.” Xiao Kongkong stepped forward and coldly defended Wen Yi.
"You can't just let Miss Wen stand here like this forever, can you?"
"It was my oversight, I'm very sorry," Mr. Zhan said apologetically, then ordered the servants, "Hurry up and take Miss Wen upstairs to bathe and change. If there is any neglect, you will be held responsible!"
"yes!"
Two servants hurriedly stepped forward to take Wen Yi away.
Xiao Kongkong did not intend to let Wen Yi be taken away like this, and planned to let these bodyguards handle it.
However, at this moment, Wen Yi suddenly reminded her, "The Zhan family is being very polite to me, but they won't let me leave. If you let the bodyguards act, things will get very ugly. My identity as the victim will be obscured."
In the end, the elaborate scheme orchestrated by Second Master was completely useless.
"Others will only say that the Imperial Garden is domineering and that the Zhan family is adding fuel to the fire, but this matter may have the opposite effect."
Wen Yi lowered his voice and calmly swept his gaze over Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhan, clearly seeing the current situation.
With Wen Yi's reminder, Xiao Kongkong naturally realized this outcome.
But seeing these people like this, Xiao Kongkong naturally felt uncomfortable and didn't want anyone to take Wen Yi away.
Wen patted her shoulder, "It's alright, you wait here. Just let that Second Master Gu know that I might not be able to leave the Zhan family tonight."
After Wen finished speaking, he stepped forward and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you."
Mr. Zhan kept staring at Wen Yi. Seeing Wen Yi's reaction, his gaze deepened, but he didn't say anything. He just gave the maid a look, signaling her to handle the situation.
...
Two hours later.
Wen Yi went downstairs wearing a new dress.
The Zhan family members were all in the living room, along with some unfamiliar faces, though Wen Yi had seen them by the pool earlier.
They should be some people from the political and legal system.
The Zhan family wants to show these people that they are not what Zhan Yaya described. What Zhan Yaya just said was just bluffing, just a little girl saying harsh words to save face. There's no need to take it to heart.
The real Zhan family's humility is justified.
Wen Yi had already figured out what was going to happen next, and at the same time, she was also calculating that it wasn't so simple for Second Master Gu to make her stage this scene.
He knew she could achieve the results he wanted, which is why he sent her.
If the Zhan family were to truly extricate themselves from this matter, the Second Master would not be satisfied.
Wen Yi slowed her pace, gripped the things in her hands tightly, and calmly walked into the living room.
Mr. Zhan, sitting in a wheelchair, greeted Wen Yi at the bottom of the stairs.
"Miss Wen, please take a seat."
He pointed to the seat reserved for Wen Yi.
It was the Zhan family's territory, and both Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhan were present, along with some important figures from the political and legal system. However, the seat of honor was given to Wen Yi.
This is giving them far too much face.
Ms. Wen glanced at Mr. Zhan, who humbly said, "My family owes Ms. Wen a debt for what happened today, and we will always remember this lesson."
Wen Yi remained calm and then walked towards the living room.
However, just as Wen Yi was about to get to the sofa, her body suddenly swayed, and then she fell down without warning.
The fall was quite loud, shocking everyone present; some even stood up.
Even Mr. Zhan and Mr. Zhan's expressions changed on the spot.
Wen Yi tried to stand up, "Sorry, I... Ah!"
She had just gotten up when she fell down again, exposing the skin of her arms and thighs...
