Wang Tai looked at Wen Chengyi and his wife expectantly and said, "I've already taught Wen Yue a lesson. I promise he won't make the same mistake again. He's still young, so it's unavoidable for him to make mistakes. Now that he's aware of his mistakes and can correct them, I implore you to give him another chance!"
"Chengyi, sister-in-law, don't worry. We were in the wrong before. As long as you are willing to give us another chance, both Wen Yue and my husband and I will be twice as kind to Xiaoxi to make up for our mistakes and will never hurt her again. Please trust us one last time, okay?"
"Old Wang, this is not a question of belief or not."
Wen Chengyi decisively rejected Wang Tai's request without even thinking about it.
"Actually, I've been thinking carefully about the children lately. It was already rash for the two families to arrange this marriage on a whim. We can't make the same mistake again. After all, this is no longer the old society where we have to follow the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
"Since the engagement has been resolved, let's not talk about it anymore. As for the children, it's better to let nature take its course. Even if you played together as children, whether you can stay together for life depends on fate. Don't force things."
Wen Chengyi paused and continued, "Besides, they are still young. They will meet many people in their lives, just like your son met Song Qingxue. If he meets Zhang Qingxue or Li Qingxue in the future, wouldn't you cut off his options if you arranged a date for him early on? As for my daughter, the same goes for her. I think she should choose the person to spend her life with."
Wang Tai was stunned after hearing this, and lowered his head in disappointment. After a while, he said, "Chengyi, you are right. I was not thoughtful enough."
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang.
Yuan Zhi walked in with a sneer.
"Why are you back?"
Wang Tai was startled and looked up at her.
"I left something behind, so I came back to get it. I accidentally heard a joke at the door."
As she spoke, she looked at Wen Chengyi and his wife with contempt.
"What a joke! What are you talking about here?" Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Tai hurriedly spoke up to stop his wife.
Yuan Zhi ignored him, smiled, and looked at Wen Chengyi and his wife. "I heard that some time ago, your daughter went to the mountains alone to deal with some fugitives in order to save her classmates. She's quite brave. I didn't expect her to escape unscathed. She's quite capable. By the way, is she okay?"
"My daughter is fine, nothing happened to her, so you don't have to worry about her." Mu Fu said calmly.
"Really?" Yuan Zhi squinted at her sarcastically. "Speaking of which, I'm really a little worried. In the middle of the night, a delicate girl is with a bunch of wanted fugitives..."
"Yuan Zhi, what do you mean?"
Seeing that she was hinting at something, Mu Fu frowned unhappily.
"Isn't what I said clear enough? Madam Wen is so generous. It would be fine if your daughter was a cripple, but if her innocence is also ruined...what good family can she marry into?" Yuan Zhi sneered.
"Yuan Zhi, how can you say that? You're just making things up! I never realized you were such a filthy person before."
"I'm making this up? That's not objective. Who knows what happened before the police arrived? I'm just making some reasonable guesses. If I can think this way, then others can too."
