362: Faith collapses, but I refuse to let go
"I should feel relieved, right?"
After returning home, Jason asked Gu Jun this.
Gu Jun was very tolerant of him: "It's good for you to be yourself."
Jason's paintings could not make the painter's family members give in, but the power brought by wealth and social status could make the family members change their minds. When Gu Jun asked someone to pass on the message, the family members considered it for a long time and agreed to Fu Hong's request for a meeting.
Fu Hong's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
"I won't be grateful to you!"
"I don't need your gratitude."
Gu Jun sneered, "I just don't want Jason to be looked down upon. He's my brother. You'd better keep your promise to Jason. If you regret it later, I can teach you how to write the word 'regret' again."
Gu Jun was not threatening Fu Hong. Now Chen Yan and Wen Yiyi probably felt a little regretful.
Shen Shuping's partners broke off relations with him one after another.
Wen Zhicheng's business also ran into problems, and Wen Yiyi was so scared that she was still seeing a psychologist.
Gu Jun did not hesitate to show his dark side to Fu Hong.
If he can do this to the Shen and Wen families, he can also use more powerful means to deal with Fu Hong.
"Maybe it's just like you said, there are always crazy people in the Gu family. What kind of things a crazy person can do, even the crazy person himself doesn't know."
Fu Hong was fearless: "You don't have to threaten me. Your wealth and power have nothing to do with me. I won't take advantage of you. From now on... I won't say anything in front of Xu Yao."
Fu Hong has many shortcomings, and she always behaves arrogantly towards those she looks down upon.
She did not admit her mistake of abandoning Gu Jun, nor would she take advantage of him. Now that she had made such a promise, she would not go back on her word for the sake of face. Anyway, it was impossible for her to owe Gu Jun a favor, so she could not speak tough words in front of Gu Jun. Losing face would hurt her more than killing Fu Hong!
Gu Jun looked at her deeply. Fu Hong raised her chin slightly, and her arrogant expression was somewhat similar to... the painter's eldest daughter-in-law.
Jason was surprised and confused: That family looked down on Fu Hong and never acknowledged her, but Fu Hong just imitated them in everything. It was really ironic!
Even more ironic things are yet to come.
When Fu Hong finally entered the ward with Jason and the three paintings, she talked incessantly about how she had trained Jason. The painter lying on the bed was not moved at all. When the painter's eyes swept over Jason's three paintings, he did not make any comments.
The pain and suffering had drained the painter's energy and spirit. He was dry and wrinkled, no longer as charming and dashing as he was in his youth. Even speaking became labored, like a broken bellows that was about to be scrapped:
"You...you gave birth to a...good son!"
Fu Hong was very happy to hear this.
Seeing that the painter had difficulty speaking, she did not feel the slightest bit of distress but only felt relieved.
The old man was finally going to close his eyes, and she was still young, and Jason was even younger. Jason was more talented than the younger generation in the old man's family. Jason would achieve higher achievements than the old man in the future. When that happened, the whole family would be vying to recognize him as their relative, but she would never agree!
Fu Hong couldn't help but smile: "Do you regret it?"
The painter nodded with difficulty.
Fu Hong couldn't suppress her pride: "It's no use for you to regret it, I won't let Jason return to his roots!"
A look of confusion flashed across the painter's withered face.
The painter really regretted not recognizing Fu Hong back then.
But that regret is not because of Jason!
Jason is indeed talented, but without the financial resources to pave the way, his talent wouldn't have blossomed so early. Jason still has many years to wait before he can become a truly renowned artist. The painter doesn't lack a talented grandson; he lacks a grandson like Gu Jun... With Gu Jun's wealth, how difficult is it to cultivate a painter?
The old painter is not short of money.
But how can the wealth accumulated by a painter be compared with that of a real capital tycoon?
When Fu Hong learned that the painter lying on the hospital bed regretted not recognizing Gu Jun, Fu Hong's faith collapsed.
She had truly believed the painter's lies, believing he rejected her because she lacked artistic talent. Fu Hong hated the painter and was determined to prove herself to him. However, the painter had ignored Fu Hong's years of hard work. He hadn't even carefully examined Jason's paintings; he simply lamented the huge fortune he had missed.
He does not have the nobleness of an artist.
He is just an ordinary person.
He is just a scumbag who disguises himself as an artist to deceive women and is not responsible!
Fu Hong broke down laughing, and tears began to flow as she laughed.
"I was deceived by you, I was deceived by you!"
Fu Hong talked to himself and looked like a madman.
Fu Hong was so emotional that the old painter's family asked her to leave the ward. The family wanted to talk to Jason, but Jason carefully guarded his three paintings and said, "You misunderstood. I have no intention of recognizing my relatives."
Jason was indeed dissatisfied with many of Fu Hong's actions.
But when comparing Fu Hong with this family, it is obvious that Fu Hong is more important.
This family has fame, industry status, and real talent, but they lack integrity.
When Jason chased out of the hospital, Fu Hong was gone. He looked around blankly. Gu Jun's secretary came over and said, "Ms. Fu is a little agitated. I sent someone to follow her."
Jason hesitated for a moment, saving Fu Hong's last dignity: "Then let her be quiet."
…
Fu Hong's meeting with the old painter in the ward was unpleasant.
Wen Zhicheng was not very happy in the ward either.
Wen Yiyi was still terrified, constantly shouting, "Uncle Xu is back," "I didn't bully Xu Yao," and "I didn't lie." Wen Yiyi would wake up in the middle of the night, and Wen Zhicheng was heartbroken. Between his daughter's mental health issues and his business troubles, Wen Zhicheng was burning the candle at both ends and was practically unable to bear it.
I'm so tired.
Wen Zhicheng dragged his tired body home. Lin Meixian was concerned about his health and brought him some nourishing soup.
Wen Zhicheng was extremely worried. With a glimmer of hope, he once again pitifully asked Lin Meixian to intercede for him. "Yiyi really knows she's wrong. She's terrified. I want to send her abroad for treatment. After her condition improves, she can study abroad for a few years. Once she's settled down and has a family, she can return to Nancheng. Do you think that's okay?"
The solution Wen Zhicheng came up with was to send Wen Yiyi away far away. As long as Wen Yiyi did not stay in Nancheng, the anger in Gu Jun and Xu Yao's hearts would naturally dissipate slowly.
Lin Meixian put down the bowl of soup in her hand. "I can't speak. No matter who is trying to persuade Yiyi to forgive, I have no right. I never object to you feeling sorry for your daughter, and I feel sorry for my own daughter too. There may be women in this world who would let their own daughter suffer for their stepdaughter, but I'm not one of them. As for persuading Gu Jun, I have even less right. Who am I to persuade him to forgive Yiyi?"
"Can--"
"It's nothing to do. You reap what you sow. You've always spoiled Yiyi. Now that she's gotten into trouble, you can tolerate her, but no one else has the obligation to. If you insist on forcing me to take a side, then my answer is divorce."
If Xu Yao was present at this moment and heard Lin Meixian file for divorce with her own ears, she would be so happy.
Wen Zhicheng was frightened by the word "divorce".
No, no, no, how could he divorce Lin Meixian?
The only business in the Wen family that wasn't affected at all was the one Lin Meixian had introduced. Back then, to prevent Shen Shuping from getting any ideas, the business was specifically registered under Lin Meixian's name. Perhaps because of this, Gu Jun hadn't touched it.
Lin Meixian filed for divorce at this time, how should the project be divided?
Not to mention, Lin Meixian was the wife he had finally married, how could he be willing to let her go!
Lin Meixian seemed to see through Wen Zhicheng's concerns. "I didn't invest any money in the project, so it should naturally be transferred to your name before the divorce. If you agree to a divorce, I can still go to Yaoyao and Gu Jun to plead for mercy."
Wen Zhicheng was moved for a moment, but then he suppressed that feeling with his own hands.
The relationship with Mrs. Shen Er only exists because of Lin Meixian.
With Lin Meixian around, Gu Jun wouldn't go too far, and Xu Yao would also be cautious in her actions.
This marriage cannot be divorced!
"I don't agree to divorce."
Wen Zhicheng's eyes moistened. "I really didn't handle this marriage well. I spoiled Yiyi too much. I'm not only Yiyi's father but also your husband. I should have listened to you and stayed out of the conflict between the children. Yiyi and Yaoyao wouldn't have gotten into this mess. Meixian, I really know I was wrong. I won't ask for mercy anymore. If Yaoyao and Gu Jun are angry, just come at me. I can handle it!"
Wen Zhicheng was very emotional. Lin Meixian looked touched, but in her heart she was lamenting that "greed harms people."
Until this moment, Wen Zhicheng was still very greedy.
If a person wants everything, he will inevitably lose everything. She has already given Wen Zhicheng a chance, but this man did not know how to cherish it!
Lin Meixian was just sighing when Wen Zhicheng's phone suddenly rang.
The hospital answered the phone and said Wen Yiyi was missing.
"What do you mean missing?"
Wen Zhicheng remembered that before he left the hospital, the doctor gave Wen Yiyi an injection of sedative, and he waited until Wen Yiyi fell asleep before leaving!
"Miss Wen is indeed missing. We checked the surveillance footage and found that she was taken away by a caregiver..."
The hospital wasn't sure if this was Wen Yiyi's own drama. After all, when she got angry, she could even touch Huahu's boss. To avoid being blamed, the hospital immediately called the police.
Wen Zhicheng didn't have time to act affectionate in front of Lin Meixian. He was anxious to go to the hospital. Lin Meixian thought about it and followed him.
As long as they haven't divorced, Wen Yiyi is Lin Meixian's stepdaughter, and she should still care about her safety.
Not only did the hospital suspect that Wen Yiyi staged the incident herself, Lin Meixian also had similar concerns.
Wen Yiyi is at a disadvantage in public opinion. Every day, many people rush to her unblocked account to scold her. If Wen Yiyi wants to turn the situation around, she can only turn from a perpetrator to a victim.
Lin Meixian was worried that Xu Yao would suffer, so she informed Xu Yao on the way to the hospital and repeatedly confirmed that it was not Gu Jun who sent someone to take Wen Yiyi away.
Xu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, what are you thinking? Gu Jun would never do such a thing!"
Kidnapping Wen Yiyi?
Even if Gu Jun’s head was hit by the door a hundred times, he would never do such a stupid thing!
