Yuan Zhi crossed her arms, her tone brimming with pride. "Mr. Wen just now boasted that it was up to our daughter to choose her own partner. Oh, isn't that a joke? Madam Wen, what do you think the man would think if he knew that your daughter had spent most of the night in the mountains with some fugitives?"
"Mrs. Wang, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will sue you for defamation."
Wen Chengyi comforted his wife, looked at Yuan Zhi steadily, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Sue me? Humph, you don't have to scare me. I'm not saying this to threaten you, I just want you to wake up and see the situation clearly."
Yuan Zhi raised her chin and said with a haughty look, "Although our Wang family is not as strong as before, with my son's conditions, it will not be easy for him to find a girl from a good family. He has many more choices than your daughter."
"If that's the case, then let your son find someone else! Why is he still pestering us?"
"Mufu, don't be ungrateful. I'm just doing this for the sake of the child..."
"Alright Yuan Zhi! Shut up!"
Wang Tai didn't expect her to barge in and say such words. He was anxious and angry and almost couldn't breathe.
"It's clearly our fault, why are you still forcing us? I've already told you that the children should make their own decisions. You are not allowed to interfere anymore. Do you understand me?"
"Old Wang!"
"I asked you if you heard me!"
Wang Tai roared angrily.
Yuan Zhi opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent.
Wen Chengyi ignored Yuan Zhi and walked to the bedside holding his wife's hand: "It's great that you think so, Old Wang. Let's leave it at that for today. Have a good rest and we won't disturb you."
Having said that, he turned around and left the ward with Mu Fu.
Before they had even left, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but complain, "You talk better than you sing. Everything you say is for the good of the children, but you just don't want to help us!"
"It's our duty to help Chengyi, and it's only natural that we don't. When he got into trouble, not only did we not help him, you even colluded with the Song family to make things worse. What right do you have to blame them now?"
"I……"
Yuan Zhi was speechless.
"Forget it, let it be." Wang Tai sighed, "At worst, we can start over again. We all started from scratch back then."
"You know it was back then! How can things compare to now? Opportunities are hard to come by, and we're already old now, what else can we do?"
Yuan Zhi became extremely anxious when she thought about the company's current situation.
"Forget about the engagement, I don't want to bother with it anymore, but why don't you take advantage of his visit to borrow some money to make ends meet?"
"You're ruining someone's daughter's reputation right from the start. How dare I say that?"
Besides, he invited the Wen family here today specifically to apologize, and he didn't want to force anything else.
"You're always so proud. Is your face so precious? Is it more important than me or your son's future?"
"I……"
"Dad, Mom, what are you arguing about again?"
Wang Wenyue pushed the door open and walked in carrying a packed lunch box.
He was beaten and had to lie in bed for more than half a month. When he was finally able to get out of bed, Wang Tai was admitted to the hospital again. He was feeling very upset.
"Son, you're back."
When Yuan Zhi saw him, she pulled him out of the ward and told him about the falling out with the Wen family.
After she finished speaking, she said harshly, "Son, don't be as foolish as your father! What shame? In this world, being rich and powerful is the real thing. Humph, the Wen family wants to turn their backs on us now that they have swallowed up our mine? It's not that easy! Wait until you and that damn girl Wen Xi have done it, and see what they can do to Qiao!"
