When Wen Yi returned to the Wen family home, her father was waiting with a cane in his hand. As soon as he saw Wen Yi, he raised the cane, but it did not fall on Wen Yi. At the last moment, her father stopped.
He was using his cane to support himself, coughing violently.
Wen Ge rushed forward to support her father, "Dad, are you alright?"
"Sister, I couldn't say anything in front of outsiders, but now that we're home, please forgive me for saying some unpleasant things. You really went too far this time."
Wen Ge cried with tears streaming down her face. "You don't know, because you lied and said you were going to meet Second Master, but in the end you stood him up and even eloped to live with another man. You've essentially cuckolded Second Master, and our family has suffered an unprecedented blow."
Wen Ge recounted these events with heartache, her eyes filled with extreme disappointment as she looked at Wen Yi.
She continued, "In just a few short years, the company my parents built over nearly twenty years is on the verge of collapse, swaying in the wind and rain; destruction was only a matter of time. My father suddenly fell ill because of this, and now, now..."
Wen Ge looked at her father and couldn't continue speaking, so she finally hugged him and cried.
"I don't know why this happened. I just wanted everyone in this family to be safe and sound, and for this family to get better and better. How could this happen?"
"I'm sorry you had to go through this, child." At this moment, Wen's father also felt sorry for Wen Ge.
Wen Yi was like an outsider... no, in the past, she was an outsider in this family, watching her parents dote on Wen Ge.
Now she is the sinner of this family because she is unwilling to sacrifice herself for Wen Ge, causing this family to falter and be on the verge of destruction.
"I will discuss this with Second Master," Wen Yi said coldly, "but I want to go back to my room now."
"Our family has become like this because of you, and you're still so indifferent. Wen Yi, do you even have a heart?"
"I have no heart, do you know that now?" Wen Yi looked calmly at her mother.
Wen's mother, who was about to denounce and question him, was so provoked by Wen Yi's calm response that she didn't know what to say.
"Since the Wen family hasn't gone bankrupt, and you're still trying your best to bring me back, it means there's hope for this matter and we can talk about it later. But I'm very tired right now, so I'm going upstairs to rest."
Wen Yi didn't want to say anything more at this moment.
"Stop right there!" Mother Wen scolded Wen Yi, "You've ruined this family like this, run off to live with some other man, and now you're really this cold-hearted?"
Wen gripped the stair railing tightly with one hand.
"First of all, the reason you had this marriage with that devil Yutingyuan was because your company was not doing well, so you sold your daughter to achieve a marriage alliance with Yutingyuan, and Yutingyuan injected funds to save the company."
“The daughter you want to sell is Wen Ge, not me. You just think Wen Ge has a chance to marry into the Gu family. Rather than marrying into the Royal Garden and being tormented to death by that second master, you naturally hope that your beloved Wen Ge will marry into the Gu family, so that I, your daughter whom you don’t like very much, will marry into the Royal Garden.”
"Trading me for Wen Ge's bright future is a good deal."
"Wen Yi, what are you saying!" Wen's father angrily rebuked Wen Yi, banging on his cane.
Wen Ge quickly tried to comfort her, while also complaining, "Sister, what you're saying is way too much."
"Is it excessive?" Wen Yi sneered, turning to look at her family members. "I'm just stating the facts, and you all think it's excessive?"
"Then let me say something even more outrageous?" Wen Yi tilted her head at them and sneered, "You'd better not offend me. I promise that the Wen family will be safe if I marry in place of you. But if I threaten to kill myself now and insist on refusing to marry in place of you, the Wen family will be finished. Since I can do it once, I can do it a second time when the Wen family is down on its luck."
So now it's your turn to beg me.
After Wen Yi finished speaking, she saw the shock in her parents' and Wen Ge's eyes.
Not to mention them, even the servants around them looked on with disbelief.
No one expected that the young lady, who had always been submissive, easy to bully, and ingratiating, would one day say such cold-hearted words.
Anyone with a conscience wouldn't say such a thing to their parents.
That's too cruel.
Wen Yi didn't know this before, not even until today.
But the painting of Gu Huaixu being hit by a car was branded into Wen Yi's mind like a brand. She was anxious and in pain, wanting to know about Gu Huaixu's condition, yet afraid to know his state.
Wen Yi was so tired that she suddenly felt like she was about to collapse.
She closed her eyes, turned around, and went upstairs.
At this time, Wen Yi should have just finished eating with Ah Xu, and then she should be sitting on the carpet with a watermelon, watching Gu Huaixu wash dishes and clean in the kitchen.
Either Wen put down the watermelon and secretly ran to the kitchen to hug Gu Huaixu from behind.
Either Ah Xu runs out and steals a kiss from behind.
In short, this time of day was the hottest part of the summer, but it was also the happiest time for them in the little house.
When Wen Yi closed her eyes, tears dripped onto the back of her hand, burning her skin. Only then did Wen Yi realize that she was already in tears.
She locked herself in her room, sat on the floor, and texted and called Luo Jia tirelessly, even when there was no response.
After all, if not, Wen Yi wouldn't know what to do.
So much so that when Luo Jia called back, Wen Yi barely reacted and even accidentally hung up.
Wen Yi was immediately annoyed and quickly called back.
The call was answered immediately, and Wen Yi asked right away, "How is he?"
At home, she didn't even dare to mention Gu Huaixu's name.
Luo Jia was silent for more than ten seconds. "I'm downstairs at the Wen family's house now. Find a way to come down, and I'll send you the license plate number."
After hanging up the phone, Wen wanted to go outside immediately, but thinking of her parents, she ultimately chose to jump out of the window.
Wen Yi lives on the third floor. Jumping down leads to the balcony on the second floor, and then you can jump down from the second floor. Wen Yi is afraid of pain and timid by nature.
In order to get news of Gu Huaixu, she jumped down without thinking twice. Her bones hit the ground, and she was in excruciating pain, but she still jumped from the second floor without hesitation.
Wen Yi slipped out of the Wen family home through the back door and found Luo Jia's car.
Wen Yi opened the back seat with high expectations, but when she saw the empty seat, her heart sank, yet she also felt a sense of mockery.
He was in a car accident, how could he possibly come to see her so soon?
Wen got into the car and closed the door.
Luo Jia sat in the driver's seat with a solemn expression. His right hand was on the steering wheel, and he looked straight ahead. He didn't say anything when Wen Yi came in, and he didn't even turn around to look at Wen Yi.
Wen Yi was restless and anxious to ask about Luo Jia and Gu Huaixu's situation, but he couldn't utter a single word no matter how many times he opened his mouth.
It's not that I don't know what to say, it's that I dare not say anything.
A subtle silence fell over the car.
As long as Luo Jia doesn't speak, this silence will remain unbroken, and Luo Jia will remain completely silent.
This situation was very difficult for Wen Yi.
His fist clenched and unclenched, then clenched again...
