Chapter 298 Hypocrite
When Xu Xianyu said this, Wen's mother was stunned. Wen Ruan, her daughter?
What does this have to do with her daughter?
She stared at Father Wen, wondering if he was hiding something from her.
But Father Wen didn't even look at her. He stared at Xu Xianyu with a cold expression:
“I should thank you for speaking up.
If you speak out, everyone will know how cold-hearted and heartless your Xu family is!"
Then he loudly told everyone how the Xu family was so indifferent to her daughter's death that they watched her fall into the fire pit without doing anything.
After saying all this, Father Wen stared fiercely at Xu Wuyan and his sister:
"You can all be so cruel and ruthless, how can you blame me for being ruthless?
What I mean is, you do it on the first day and I do it on the fifteenth. If you can rescue my daughter from the fire pit, I won't tell anyone about your affairs today.
It's a tit-for-tat thing, you can't blame me!"
The crowd was shocked.
They all looked at the Xu brothers and sisters with accusatory eyes.
"How cold-blooded and heartless! He actually watched someone die without helping!"
"That's right. Wen Ruan and the eldest daughter of the Xu family grew up together and are as close as sisters. How could she just stand by and watch someone die?"
"Hey, have you forgotten what Wenruan did before? Why do I feel like I shouldn't have saved her?"
"How much money did the Xu family spend to get you to speak for them?"
…
Amidst the noisy discussions, there were a few voices speaking out for the Xu family. Unfortunately, the voices speaking out for the Xu brothers and sisters were quickly drowned out by other voices.
Xu Xianyu had a stern face, and there was coldness between his eyebrows.
These people are going too far, they don't know anything and they are blaming them here.
Do you really think she is easy to bully?
At this moment, Xu Wuyan reached out and patted her shoulder.
Xu Xianyu looked up, not giving him a chance to speak:
"Brother, let me handle this, okay?
I can handle this.”
The trouble she caused must be cleaned up by herself!
Xu Wuyan looked at her intently, then nodded after a moment, "Okay!"
Then he took two steps back and gave his seat to Xu Xianyu.
Xu Xianyu looked up at everyone with a cold expression:
"Can you listen to me now?"
Her voice is not loud, but her momentum is overwhelming!
Perhaps Xu Xianyu's aura was too strong, the people who were talking around him finally quieted down and their attention was all focused on Xu Xianyu.
Looking at Xu Xianyu, who exuded a terrifying aura, many people retreated silently.
You can watch the Xu family’s affairs, but you must not get involved.
Xu Xianyu's eyes fell on Father Wen sharply:
"You're good at taking things out of context. You don't say anything that should be said, but only pick out the things that are beneficial to you.
Why, will this make you feel less guilty?"
Father Wen's face turned pale. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but Xu Xianyu didn't give him a chance.
Xu Xianyu looked at everyone and slowly told them what happened before and after he met Wen Ruan that night, without adding any exaggeration.
After finishing speaking, Xu Xianyu sneered:
"Let's not talk about what happened before. She brought people to plot against us and treated me like a fool, asking me to pay a huge sum of money to redeem her. Do I look like a fool?
Also, she wanted to sell me to a bandit’s den before. I remember all that.
Why do you think I should save her?
What's so special about her that I should save her?"
Xu Xianyu's words made Wen's father's face change drastically.
"How can you be so cruel? You and Wen Ruan have been friends since childhood and are as close as sisters. She just did something wrong occasionally. Why can't you forgive her and save her?"
Father Wen's chest was heaving with anger, and the distortion on his face became more and more obvious:
"Besides, your Xu family has a lot of money. It's only one hundred taels of silver, which is not much!"
"You also said it was only a hundred taels of silver, then why didn't you go and save her? She's your own daughter!" Xu Xianyu retorted sharply, then snorted coldly:
"When I came back that night, I told you where Wen Ruan was, and I also told you that I could redeem her for just one hundred taels.
We didn't travel the next day, but you stayed at the inn the whole time and didn't do anything at all."
At this point, Xu Xianyu's face showed a hint of sarcasm:
"As her father, you're not willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to save her. Why do you ask me to spend a hundred taels of silver to save her? Are you treating me like a sucker?"
Xu Xianyu's sharp words forced Wen's father to retreat step by step.
At this moment, everyone realized that they had been misled by Father Wen and became angry.
"What a hypocritical person! He didn't even save his own daughter, yet he asked others to do so. He didn't save her, yet he blamed others for being cold-blooded. Does he have any shame?"
"I've been successfully disgusted. This is clearly a case of turning the tables!"
"As the ancients said, 'Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.' I have witnessed the ugliness of human nature. It is terrifying!"
…
Father Wen's face turned pale. "My Wen family has no money, I..."
Bang!
Mother Wen slapped Father Wen in the face.
This slap made the scene quiet again. No one expected that Wen's mother would hit Wen's father.
Even Wen's father looked at Wen's mother in surprise, as if he didn't know her.
Mother Wen stared at Father Wen with bloodshot eyes and shook her head:
“You said that you couldn’t save Wenruan without money, and I don’t blame you.
After all, we don’t have much money, and we have a big family to support.
But I can't stand your hypocrisy.
It's fine if you yourself are unwilling to save your own daughter, but why are you blaming others for not saving her? I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who shirks responsibility and is irresponsible. "
After saying that, Mother Wen wiped her tears and turned away.
They could obviously get their daughter back...
Mother Wen was heartbroken!
Father Wen opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
Xu Xianyu on the side shook his head:
"The thing I regret most is meddling in other people's business and telling you about Wen Ruan's situation. It almost implicated my Xu family.
It turns out that people shouldn't be too compassionate. I've learned this lesson!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the Xu family.
Xu Wuyan, who was left last, glanced at Wen's father coldly. Without saying anything, he followed Xu Xianyu and left.
Sometimes, not beating him up is more painful for him than beating him up.
And the gossip of the crowd was enough to make him very upset.
"That's too much. You're treating us like fools."
"Hypocritical and shameless, stay away from this hypocrite in the future."
"That's right. Be careful that he doesn't turn the tables on you. Anyone with a criminal record will be remembered."
…
Father Wen's face flushed.
When Xu Xianyu told him these things, he didn't have any thoughts. He just felt that Wen Run deserved it.
But as time went on, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his daughter.
She couldn't help but blame the Xu family. They were obviously rich, so why didn't they help her?
So when the officers and soldiers were searching, he said something for some unknown reason.
Now……
Looking at the disgusted eyes of the crowd, Father Wen regretted his decision.
And on Xu Xianyu's side.
Seeing his elder brother catching up with him, Xu Xianyu lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.
"Brother, it's all my fault. I almost hurt everyone."
Along the way, I saw Mrs. Wen was worried about Wen Ruan.
That's why she felt compassion and told Wen Ruan's father, who happened to be coming out, about Wen Ruan's situation.
Whether they saved the people or not was none of her business.
She just needs to be true to her conscience.
Who would have thought that Wen's father did not go to save people himself, and finally resented himself for not saving Wen Ruan, and even wanted to take revenge on their Xu family because of this.
God knows how speechless she was.
Father Wen is a weirdo. He didn't even save his own daughter, so what right did he have to ask others to save his daughter!
She really regretted it.
She shouldn't have felt any compassion.
What happens to Wenruan? What does it have to do with her?
It wasn't me who harmed her, so I have no regrets!
Xu Wuyan reached out and patted her shoulder, "You don't need to blame yourself, you haven't done anything wrong.
Wenruan's father did this just as you said, to alleviate his own guilt, so you don't need to take it to heart!
If you take it to heart, you lose."
Xu Xianyu sighed, "Now it seems that parents don't love their children unconditionally."
Wen's father could clearly come up with a hundred taels of silver, but he was reluctant to use it to redeem Wen Ruan.
It seems that they don't love children very much.
Xu Wuyan sneered, "You'll get used to it! Okay, go back, your sister-in-law is watching us!"
"Um!"
