Chapter 114 Helping Hands
Wen Weiming found out clearly that Wen Yu worked in Fu Jinnian's company, so he asked Zeng Manli to wait there.
When Wen Yu got off work, she saw Zeng Manli downstairs of the company.
Her expression turned cold and she wanted to pretend not to see it, but Zeng Manli stopped her.
"Xiaoyu, Mommy has something to tell you. Let's find a cafe and sit down and talk, okay?"
Wen Yu's brows were cold and distant. "It seems we have nothing to talk about."
"We've broken off relations."
Back in court, when Zeng Manli and the others chose to stand on Sheng Yu'an's side, they had no relationship at all.
"Xiaoyu, it's Mom's fault. Mom has been looking for you for so many years and finally found you. You can't just kill our family relationship with one stroke. After all, I am your biological mother!"
Zeng Manli was so excited when she spoke that many colleagues in the company looked in their direction.
Wen Yu took a deep breath and said, "Don't bother making trouble downstairs of my company. If there is anything, let's go somewhere else and talk it out."
Since Zeng Manli was able to find the Fu Group, it means that she already knew about her marriage to Fu Jinnian.
In the quiet coffee shop, Zeng Manli held the coffee cup tightly in her hand and said, "Xiaoyu, how have you been lately?"
Wen Yu smiled, "Shouldn't you have investigated whether I am good or not?"
Zeng Manli smiled awkwardly, "Xiaoyu, please don't misunderstand me. Your father heard at the dinner party last time that you got married. Is your partner Fu Jinnian?"
Wen Yu looked at her leisurely, pursed her lips, and said, "Yeah."
Zeng Manli didn't know what to say next because of his cold attitude.
"Xiaoyu, Mom knows I was wrong. Back then, when it came to you and Wen Ning, Mom was biased. But Xiaoyu, you have to understand Mom. Mom was just deceived by your sister."
"We raised Xiao Ning from childhood and have always treated her like our own daughter, giving her everything we deserved. We never thought she would treat us this way. And Xiao Yu, I admit that we didn't pay much attention to you when you first came home. Now I want to make up for it. Can you give me a chance?"
Wen Yu sneered, "Make up for it? How do you make up for it?"
"Ms. Zeng, if the person I married today wasn't Fu Jinnian, but some random delivery guy on the street, would you still want to make it up to me?"
"Will you still sit across from me like you did today and tell me you were wrong?"
"Will you admit that you have been partial?"
Zeng Manli stammered, "I..."
"Can't answer? Then let me tell you the answer," Wen Yu said firmly, "You can't!"
"You don't regret it. You just think I'm now useful to your Wen family. In Wen Weiming's heart, a daughter has never meant anything. The value she holds in her hands is the most important, right?"
Wen Yu shook her head. "After all these years in the Wen family, the only thing I've learned is to be selfish. If you're too selfless, you'll be eaten to pieces. So, I'm sorry, I won't give you a chance."
"You repeatedly emphasize that you are my mother, but that's only in blood. In my heart," Wen Yu smiled faintly, "you're no longer my mother."
Zeng Manli's heart seemed to be tightly surrounded by a pair of invisible big hands.
But every word Wen Yu said made sense, and she didn't even have a chance to refute.
Wen Yu walked out of the cafe, but Zeng Manli didn't want to give up.
"Xiaoyu, no matter how many mistakes I have made, I am still your mother! You are my child, born after ten months of pregnancy. You cannot deny me!"
Zeng Manli's voice attracted many passers-by to stop.
Wen Yu glanced at the passersby and retorted coldly again: "Yes, you gave birth to me after ten months of pregnancy, but I grew up in an orphanage! All your efforts were not for me, but for your good adopted daughter!"
"Even after I'm found and brought back to your house, will you ever put me before Wen Ning?"
"Ms. Zeng, do you remember my birthday?"
"You celebrate your birthday with Wen Ning every year, but I've never received even a small birthday gift from you!"
Wen Yu's words shattered Zeng Manli's last hope. She unreservedly revealed her inferiority complex caused by living under Wen Ning's shadow for so many years, and returned it all to Zeng Manli.
No one should try to morally blackmail her. She has already returned what she owes them.
Wen Yu noticed a phantom with its hazard lights flashing on the side of the road.
Fu Jinnian called and said two concise words: "Get in the car."
She trotted to open the back seat and got in, completely ignoring Zeng Manli who was still standing there in a daze.
Zeng Manli looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away. She knew that it was their own hands that pushed their own daughter further and further away.
She squatted on the ground in pain, covering her cheeks with her hands, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Mom, I'm wrong."
But it's too late.
From time to time, people passed by and looked at the beautiful woman crying inconsolably with curiosity, "Sister, are you okay?"
Zeng Manli shook her head.
She was fine, she just lost her biological daughter.

Sitting in the car, Wen Yu stared blankly at the street scene that was constantly receding.
You held her tightly in your arms with your broad and strong hands.
Fu Jinnian rested his chin on the top of her head and rubbed it affectionately, "Don't think about those unhappy things in the past, you still have me."
Wen Yu's eyes were slightly red, and she snuggled in his arms, burying her cheek in his neck: "Well, I don't want to think about it anymore."
The warmth between the two people did not last for three seconds, and Fu Jinnian's hand slowly rolled up the corner of her clothes.
Wen Yu was startled. She grabbed his rebellious fingers and raised her eyes dimly: "What do you want to do?"
Fu Jinnian came closer with a wicked smile and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I want to touch you."
Wen Yu jumped away, wishing she could kick Fu Jinnian out of the car.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding."
Wen Yu looked into his eyes and asked, "Is it funny?"
Fu Jinnian withdrew his hand, "It's not funny."
-
Fu Jiaxin originally asked Wen Yu to go to the auction, but her aunt was not interested, so she had to come alone.
It just so happened that Fu Jiaxin’s mortal enemy Lin Shuyue was also present, as well as Lin Shuyue’s brother Lin Tao.
Lin Tao had pursued Fu Jiaxin for many years, but was rejected by Fu Jiaxin every time, so he felt a little resentful.
But the Fu family is not easy to mess with.
But they are not afraid of disgusting people at the auction.
"Haha, Jiaxin, you haven't found a boyfriend in all these years. Did you find that my brother is not bad?"
"My brother just broke up with his girlfriend. Why don't you stay with my brother? A marriage between our two families could be helpful to both families. What do you think?"
Fu Jiaxin's face was filled with undisguised contempt. "I'm sorry, my grandparents said that I can decide my own marriage. There's no need for an arranged marriage."
"Your Lin family may need it, but we don't."
"You!" Lin Shuyue looked at Fu Jiaxin's stubbornness and felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
Soon the auction began.
This time, Fu Jiaxin wants to buy an emerald crown peacock brooch for her mother as a birthday gift.
My parents divorced early, and although my mother remarried, she has a close relationship with my brother and her.
The first item of the auction was this peacock brooch.
"Emerald Crown Peacock Brooch, starting price 5 million."
Fu Jiaxin's budget is to acquire it within 20 million, which is all the liquid funds she can use.
She raised her sign quietly, "6 million."
Lin Shuyue immediately raised the price to 7 million.
Fu Jiaxin glanced at her coldly, "8 million!"
Lin Tao smiled slyly, "10 million!"
"10 million once, 10 million twice."
Fu Jiaxin knew that they were deliberately raising the price, but she had no choice but to increase the price.
"11 million."
Lin Tao raised his sign without blinking, "15 million."
Fu Jiaxin was so angry that her teeth itched. "18 million."
“20 million!”
Fu Jiaxin gritted her teeth and thought, why not borrow some from my uncle?
While she was hesitating, the auctioneer had already called the second time.
A man in a dark blue suit in the first row raised his card and said, "25 million."
Almost at the same time, a message popped up on Fu Jiaxin's phone.
[Wen Yanqing: What a coincidence, we meet again. They seem to be trying to undercut your price. How about I take a picture of it for you?]
