Wen Yi glanced at Gu Zeyu, pushed his hand away, and stepped forward to face her parents.
She said, "Dad, Mom, can you give me three minutes?"
"What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now?" Mr. Wen asked with disgust.
Wen's mother also frowned.
Wen Yi had seen such expressions of rejection countless times. Logically, she should have been unaffected and calmly dealt with them, but strangely, every time she faced such a look of disgust, Wen Yi felt very uncomfortable.
It hurts every time I get pricked.
Wen Yi clenched her fists silently. "I just want three minutes. I'm not making excuses, I just want to explain your anger towards me."
"Are you still trying to justify yourself? What more three minutes do you need?" Wen's mother questioned.
Wen Yi said, "Don't I even have three minutes?"
Even if it's just sophistry, even if it's nonsense, she hasn't been in this house for even three minutes.
She's been a good older sister and a dutiful daughter for so many years, and yet she couldn't even get a chance in the last three minutes?
“Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, I understand your feelings, and I know that Wen Yi did something inappropriate, but no matter what, she has something to say, and she should be given a chance.” Gu Zeyu spoke up for Wen Yi.
Wen's parents exchanged a glance and finally acquiesced, giving Wen Yi this opportunity.
Under such circumstances, the three minutes that Wen Yi bought for himself were truly laughable.
She wanted to turn around and leave.
But then she held back and asked, "In your opinion, Wen Ge offended Lin Manqing at the 'Sword and Qin' press conference, and was subsequently attacked by Lin Manqing's fans because I schemed against Wen Ge, right?"
"Isn't that right?" Wen's mother retorted. "You're just jealous of your sister, that's why you're causing all this trouble."
"But I've solved this problem, haven't I?"
"You call that a solution?" Father Wen's anger flared up again. "You kicked Wen Ge to kneel in front of Lin Manqing and released these videos. Is that a solution, or are you deliberately trying to embarrass your sister?"
The more Wen's father spoke, the angrier he became. He pointed at Wen Yi's nose and scolded her for being stupid, "Do you know that what you're doing isn't just slapping your sister's face, but the face of the entire Wen family!"
"But I said back when Wen Ge entered the entertainment industry that if the Wen family business wanted to reach a higher level, Wen Ge couldn't enter, as it would affect her net worth."
"If I, Wen Ge, want to enter the entertainment industry, I will definitely do my best. In the end, everyone will just say that the Wen family has an outstanding young lady who can become the best just by playing around in the entertainment industry!" Wen's mother said firmly.
Suddenly, Wen Yi... didn't want to talk anymore.
Even when he was being held captive by the Second Master's men, Wen Yi was still struggling internally.
Even when her mother dressed her in the dress from the Imperial Garden, Wen Yi thought that her mother didn't know her true strength at that time, and she wouldn't have done that once she did.
But now Wen Yi realized that no matter whether she helped Wen Ge resolve this matter or not, her parents would still make her wear the dress that the Second Master of Yutingyuan had sent her.
Wen Yi suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" The mother noticed Wen Yi's smile.
Wen Yi took a step back. "You can see that I deliberately embarrassed Wen Ge. It's her fault for not handling this matter well."
"As expected, you traitorous dog!" Wen's father immediately grabbed a stick and attacked Wen Yi.
Gu Zeyu wanted to protect Wen Yi, but Wen Yi had anticipated this. She opened Gu Zeyu's hand, took a step forward, and her shoulder took the blow.
She thought she heard a sound like her shoulder bone was being hit, and the pain made her right shoulder go numb.
But Wen didn't utter a single sound of pain, and her expression didn't change much.
"Wen Yi?" Gu Zeyu frowned.
Although he also felt that Wen Yi's actions were inappropriate, he didn't think it warranted taking action.
"Get out! Get out of this house right now! Just pretend the Wen family doesn't have a daughter with such a vicious heart as you!" Father Wen threw the stick aside.
Wen blinked once, said nothing more, and turned to walk out.
She left quickly and decisively. Not only was Wen's father, who was angrily kicking her out, also looked somewhat surprised, not expecting Wen to leave so suddenly.
It seems that this daughter has quietly changed at some point in time...
In the eyes of Wen's parents and even Wen Ge, Wen Yi's personality may have changed, but in fact, it's because they have never had the patience to understand Wen Yi or listen to what he has to say.
Whenever a conflict arises, Wen Yi always makes excuses. Over time, Wen Yi has become quiet. Now, the matter of the substitute marriage has crossed Wen Yi's bottom line, making it impossible for her to act as if nothing matters anymore. Therefore, Wen Yi has begun to resist.
But these so-called acts of rebellion were seen as outrageous by the parents, who saw Wen Yi as a completely different person.
Wen Yi walked alone on the street, sometimes laughing at herself, sometimes wiping away the tears that fell uncontrollably.
As dusk fell, Wen Yi looked around at the streets.
When Wen Yi first received her parents' request to marry into the Yu Ting Yuan family in place of Wen Ge, she ran out like this, wandering aimlessly through the streets.
On that day, she met Gu Huaixu and mistook him for Gu Zeyu.
He also got drunk and had a one-night stand with someone.
Pfft.
Suddenly, Wen Yi chuckled softly.
She didn't know what she was laughing at, but as she laughed, her vision began to blur, and her eyes became red, burning, and painful.
She took a deep breath and wiped away the tears that fell, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.
My mood was extremely bad.
This feeling of having nothing is absolutely terrible.
Throughout her life, Wen Yi had always longed to be seen, loved, and cared for, and later she saw that love in Gu Huaixu.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Unfortunately, there was not only an age gap between her and him, but also differences in their social status and many other factors.
She couldn't bring herself to selfishly possess and exploit Gu Huaixu.
The only option is to sever this attachment and give Gu Huaixu his freedom.
Wen took a deep breath to calm herself, started walking faster, and quickened her pace.
Even though giving up on Gu Huaixu was painful, Wen Yi would never go back to harm him, but she was in so much pain that she needed a way to vent.
Before she knew it, Wen Yi had wandered around the street twice in a daze before stepping into Miss Bar.
This time, she chose a corner booth where she couldn't see anyone, but it was connected to the booth next door, so she could see the whole view of the booth next door.
However, the waiter said that the booths here are too far out in the corner, and unless it's packed, almost no one chooses them.
I warmed up some wine, but this time I didn't drink it as quickly as before.
They also contacted the hotel service at Jinlumen in advance to have them come and take Wen Yi to her hotel room within half an hour.
The waiter was a classmate of Wen Yi from before, so there were no surprises.
After ensuring safety, Wen indulged in drinking to his heart's content.
Wen Yi, a complete novice at drinking, was already quite drunk after only a few drinks. Her vision was blurry as she watched Gu Huaixu slowly walking towards her and chuckled softly.
It's even hallucinations.
Not only did Gu Huaixu appear in the bar, but he was also seen with two women on either side of him...
