After hesitating for a moment, Wen's mother still said, "No matter what, we shouldn't be in such a hurry to transfer your household registration. If something really happens, you'll belong to someone else, and we won't be able to help you. We can't even protect you legally."
"This is exactly what I wanted."
Wen Yi has been so straightforward that Wen's mother even wondered for a moment if Wen Yi's soul had been replaced, how could he be so different from before?
My daughter, who used to be so quiet you couldn't utter a word even if you hit her three times, now speaks scathingly and directly.
Wen's mother couldn't stand Wen Yi's 'disobedience' anymore. "Wen Yi, what do you mean by this? Do you resent or hate us parents?"
“How could there not be?” Wen Yi retorted. “From the moment you called the police and said I was scammed, I’ve been filled with resentment and hatred. I can forget all the things you did to me before because you favored Wen Ge, but I will never forget this matter, even if it kills me.”
Mother Wen's face turned green with anger. "How could you... how could you say such a thing? You, you..."
“Mom, when you blatantly favor Wen Ge, belittle me time and time again, and even though you know exactly where Yu Ting Yuan is, you still marry me off to her for Wen Ge’s bright future, you should have realized that your daughter would only drift further and further away from you.”
“If I am still alive when you need me to take care of you in your old age, I will take care of you. You raised me when I was young, and I will take care of you when you are old. This is the basic thing that children should do. But if you want to talk to me about feelings now, I'm sorry, there are no feelings to talk about.”
Wen Yi's words were considered unorthodox.
Let alone the former Wen Yi, even any of her daughters, no matter how rebellious, would never say such blunt and cold-blooded words.
But what can be done?
Gu Huaixu is dead, but Wen Yi will always hold a life in his hands.
He was the only person in the world who wholeheartedly protected her and held her dearest in his heart; he was the only one who truly loved Wen Yi, yet in the end, he died because of Wen Yi.
She doesn't deserve love in this lifetime.
Wen Yi stood up from the sofa. "Don't you understand? Even if I die, even if I become a wandering ghost, I don't want to have anything to do with the Wen family."
She walked to the French windows, no longer looking at her parents' expressions. "I only have these few requests. If you grant them, I will marry in their place. From now on, I will not need you to collect my body when I die. No matter how miserable my life is, I do not need your pity. You and I must remember this kneeling and farewell today."
Wen Yi closed her eyes, feeling utterly exhausted.
Wen Yi had already made it clear what she should and shouldn't have said. She had nothing more to say and didn't look back at her parents or Wen Ge even once.
Wen Yi no longer cared about the expressions on the three people's faces.
Wen Yi even considered that no matter what the three of them said, she would no longer listen to or respond.
However, Wen Yi thought it over, and after she said those direct and cold words, neither Wen's parents nor Wen Ge had anything to say.
Finally, Mr. Wen said wearily, "I'll make the arrangements tomorrow. I'll send you the time and place for the meal via WeChat."
After saying that, Mr. Wen left with Wen Ge and Mrs. Wen.
As they closed the door to Wen Yi's room, Wen Yi, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window gazing into the distance, suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
She still clutched the last letter Gu Huaixu had given her tightly in her arms; to this day, Wen Yi had not opened it to read the words inside.
Wen Yi was dizzy for about five or six hours.
When she woke up, she was still lying on the floor. Moonlight shone in through the French windows. Wen Yi felt extremely dizzy. The first thing she did was check the envelope that Gu Huaixu had left for her. It was safe and sound before she felt relieved.
She received a message from Wen's father on her phone, about the time and place of the dinner party with people from Yutingyuan the next day.
“Ah Xu”.
Wen Yi hugged the envelope tightly. "Will you blame me?"
She looked up at the moonlight outside the French windows, her eyes were terribly dry, but not a single tear came out.
Wen Yi smiled bitterly, as if she were seeing that handsome man on the moon.
"I'm sorry, but in the end I still ended up going back to this path."
"Ah Xu, I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy of your kindness, nor am I worthy of your longing for me. If there's an afterlife, can I be the one who loves you to the point of madness but can't have you?"
I will repay you for all the kindness and favors I owe you in this lifetime.
I'll return all your favoritism, care, and affection to you.
If there is an afterlife.
If we can meet again in the next life.
If I could, I would beg to suffer endless torment in this life, so that in the next life I can briefly meet you and repay the debt of love I owe you.
Wen hugged the envelope tightly and curled up on the ground.
Under the moonlight, my body trembled violently.
She was in pain and lonely.
From then on, there was no longer a gentle and sensible older sister, Wenyi.
...
The next day.
After Wen Yi woke up, she packed all the dresses that Wen Ge had given her into a sack and then had the maid throw them in the trash can.
Wen Yi changed into clothes that reflected her own style.
Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, with her hair neatly tied back in a ponytail and glasses on, she left the Wen family and headed to the dinner meeting place arranged with the Second Master at Yutingyuan.
The dinner was held in a hotel room, the same place Wen Yi was forcibly taken to last time, on the 38th floor of Jinlumen.
Upstairs is Wen Yi and Gu Huaixu's old haunt.
When Wen Yi saw the address yesterday, she was almost driven crazy with pain. She desperately wanted to find a way to change it, but then she thought that she couldn't keep avoiding it like this.
Moreover, she had another matter to attend to at Golden Deer Gate.
Before going up to the 38th floor, Wen went to the front desk to renew her subscription and keep everything on the 39th floor.
"Miss, I'm sorry, the person on the 39th floor is a long-term VIP guest who has been paying for fifty years' worth of room fees." The waiter politely handed Wen Yi her room key and bank card.
Fifty years of rent...
Wen Yi was slightly taken aback. In other words, as long as Wen Yi lived, the old place she shared with Gu Huaixu would be preserved forever.
Everything that once belonged to Gu Huaixu and Wen Yi will be preserved.
Wen Yi felt a pang of bitterness well up inside her again. She touched her chin with the tip of her tongue and put on a polite smile. "I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure," the waiter replied.
Wen Yi put away his room key and bank card, then left the front desk and headed for the elevator.
Almost subconsciously, Wen Yi pressed the 39th floor button, but as soon as she realized what was happening, she immediately canceled it and pressed the 38th floor button instead.
The door to the room on the 38th floor was open, clearly prepared to make it easier for Wen Yi to enter.
Wen Yi took a deep breath before pushing open the door and stepping inside.
As soon as she stepped into the room, the door was closed, then all the lights in the room were turned off, the curtains closed automatically, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Before Wen Yi could react, her wrist was grabbed, and the icy coldness of the other person's palm instantly sent chills down her spine. She was forced to be pulled along and finally fell onto the sofa...
