Chapter 102 Public Reactions

Among all the people in the Wen family, Wen Rongsheng was the first to know that Xu Meifeng was dead.

In fact, after Xu Meifeng went to prison, Wen Rongsheng did not pay much attention to her. His feelings for her were too complicated.

It’s not that he still loves Xu Meifeng. After learning that she had killed his two sons in succession and left him without any offspring, all his feelings for this cruel woman turned into hatred.

But Wen Rongsheng couldn’t find someone in prison to "take care" of him as he did to Hou Xin, so that he wouldn’t live too comfortably. No matter how

hateful Xu Meifeng was, they had two daughters. He could not care about the life and death of this vicious woman, but he had to consider the thoughts of Wen Jiaxin and her sister.

So Wen Rongsheng could only ignore Xu Meifeng.

But their past relationship was known to everyone in Hong Kong, so even though they were not married and had severed their relationship, after Xu Meifeng's death, the Correctional Service Department still informed Wen Rongsheng of the news as soon as possible.

Hearing the news, Wen Rongsheng was stunned for a long time before responding to the other party and said, "Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Rongsheng sat for a long time.

He was not sad about Xu Meifeng's death, but just a little surprised. He

knew that life in prison was not easy, not to mention that Xu Meifeng had nothing, and her life must be even harder. But how long had she been in prison? One month? Or two months? Definitely no more than three months.

He thought she would be able to hold out for a few more years, even until she was released from prison, but he didn't expect her to die so soon.

Thinking of the cause of Xu Meifeng's death as stated by the Correctional Service, Wen Rongsheng felt that it was unusual, but after thinking for a moment, he decided not to delve into it.

To him, Xu Meifeng's death was actually a good thing.

Because of what Xu Meifeng did, the Wen family is now torn apart, and it is basically certain that as long as she lives, the Wen family will never be able to end this division.

After Xu Meifeng's death, the things she did should also "return to dust, return to earth", and that's it.

With this idea in mind, Wen Rongsheng called his assistant to come to the office and told him to arrange someone to handle Xu Meifeng's affairs.

The assistant hesitated when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he decided to ask clearly before leaving: "Mr. Wen, what specifications do you plan to use for this?"

Wen Rongsheng frowned.

If Xu Meifeng had not done those things, he would definitely have handled it well if she died accidentally. Although they were not officially married, she had been with him for so many years.

But thinking that both of his sons were harmed by her, even if he was worried about his daughter's treatment of her, he could not hold a funeral for her without any scruples.

"No need to worry about it, just send it for cremation. After getting the ashes..." Wen Rongsheng paused and said, "Contact Jiaxin and let her bury it wherever she wants."

After Wen Rongsheng became rich, he not only bought a piece of land to build an ancestral home, but also fenced off a hill as the Wen family's ancestral cemetery, and moved his parents' ashes there. His brother and Peng Lifen and her son were buried there.

Originally, Chen Baoqin and Xu Meifeng should have been buried there after their death, but now Wen Rongsheng would definitely not let Xu Meifeng enter the ancestral cemetery.

So the assistant didn't ask any more questions, agreed and left.

After going to the hospital to understand Xu Meifeng's situation, the assistant finally understood why Wen Rongsheng told him to cremate Xu Meifeng first and then contact Wen Jiaxin.

It turned out that Xu Meifeng died an abnormal death.

The boss didn't want to pursue the matter, probably because of what Xu Meifeng had done. It was a pity for Wen Jiaxin and her sister that their mother died in an unclear manner and they were kept in the dark.

But he changed his mind and thought that Xu Meifeng was taken away by the police, and then Wen Jiaxin and her sister published a statement in the newspaper to sever ties in order to inherit the property.

It can be seen that even mothers and daughters in wealthy families don't have much affection.

Even if Wen Jiaxin knew that Xu Meifeng died in an unclear manner, she might not pursue the matter, and might even feel relieved.

The assistant had misunderstood this point. When Wen Jiaxin received the call and learned that Xu Meifeng was dead, she didn't feel relieved at all. She even had a buzz in her head and was stunned for a moment.

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Wen Jiaxin ran into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and started washing her face.

She put on makeup before going out in the morning, but she couldn't care less now. She poured cold water on her face and took a while to calm her breathing. She supported her hands on both sides of the sink and looked at herself in the mirror, who looked like a ghost.

But her eyes didn't seem to fall on herself. Instead, she saw Xu Meifeng in prison uniform and writing furiously through the mirror.

In fact, she had never seen Xu Meifeng in prison uniform.

Since Xu Meifeng was taken away, Wen Jiaxin has never seen her, and even blocked all news about her.

She was afraid. She was

afraid that after contacting Xu Meifeng, Wen Rongsheng would really remove her from his will.

After Xu Meifeng's accident, Wen Jiaxin has seen the coldness of the world.

She used to be the third daughter of the Wen family. She was loved by her parents and was outstanding enough. No matter where she went, she was the focus of the crowd and everyone praised her.

Now she is still the third daughter of the Wen family, but all her advantages have been overshadowed by the stain of her mother's imprisonment. No matter where she goes, she is treated coldly. It would

be fine if she was treated coldly at other times. After Xu Meifeng's accident, she has not attended any grand occasions. However, the changes in the clients of the trading company made her feel helpless.

In order to raise money at the beginning of the year, Xu Meifeng sold all the properties under her name.

Because Wen Rongsheng didn't take over, all the properties were sold to others, but the trading company was special. It was built entirely on the influence of Wen Rongsheng.

With Wen Rongsheng, the company could make several million in net profit a year. Xu Meifeng would definitely not be happy if it was sold too cheaply. But without Wen Rongsheng, this trading company is worthless.

Well, the venue lease and office desks and chairs are still worth some money, but at most they are worth tens or hundreds of thousands.

So in the end, Wen Rongsheng took over the company, but the company was handed over to Wen Jiaxin to manage.

Normally, when the company is transferred from Xu Meifeng's name to Wen Rongsheng's name, customers should be more willing to cooperate, and the trading company's business should be better.

But the reality is completely the opposite.

In the past, the trading company had good business because Xu Meifeng was favored. Those customers thought that as long as they pleased her, they would have the opportunity to get bigger orders from Lirong.

Xu Meifeng would also appropriately talk to Wen Rongsheng and give them some orders that were considered trivial to Lirong but big orders to those customers, as a courtesy.

Now, Wen Jiaxin is too embarrassed to do such a thing, and those customers also think that Xu Meifeng has done so many bad things, and the two sisters of the third room must have become abandoned, so they no longer try to force her.

Gradually, the trading company has become deserted.

Wen Jiaxin can't see these, she just thinks that the company's business is getting worse and worse because everyone looks down on her, and the reason why everyone looks down on her is that she has a mother in prison.

After having such thoughts, Wen Jiaxin doesn't want to have any contact with Xu Meifeng even more.

And...she actually blames Xu Meifeng in her heart.

She thinks that if it weren't for Xu Meifeng, her current situation would definitely not be so embarrassing.

At this point, Wen Jiaxin hadn't thought about the fact that she was involved in drugging Wen Jiadong, which shows that Xu Meifeng thought she was an ungrateful person, and she was not wrong at all.

In short, because of the above thoughts, when Lu Juan's brother came to her, introduced himself, and said that he brought Xu Meifeng's letter, Wen Jiaxin's first reaction was trouble.

But she still read the letter, but after reading it, she would rather not open the letter herself.

Two million!

Does Xu Meifeng think that she can still take out millions like she did a few months ago?

No, even a few months ago, it would be too much for her to take out so much money at once, so she could only ask Xu Meifeng for money. But it was Xu Meifeng herself who came to ask for the money. She was already in jail. Didn't she know what the situation was like now? If

she wanted to take out the money now, she could only withdraw funds from the trading company.

Although Wen Rongsheng didn't care about the trading company, there were many people who were watching her and wanted to catch her. How could she withdraw so much money to save Xu Meifeng at this time?

Moreover, although the handwriting on the letter was Xu Meifeng's, handwriting could be imitated. Moreover, it was obvious that Lu Juan's brother was not a good person. It was obvious that she was not a good person either. Who knew whether Lu Juan forced her mother to write this letter? Taking

a step back, even if Xu Meifeng wrote the letter herself, she was not forced. On what basis did she instruct Lu Juan's brother to deliver the letter for her?

Just because of the unfounded two million?

Wen Jiaxin didn't want to speculate about her mother in a bad way, but people can change, and no one can guarantee that Xu Meifeng didn't wait for her to see her and deliberately did such a thing?

After reading the letter, Wen Jiaxin tore up the letter directly and drove away Lu Juan's brother.

At that time, she thought that the matter was over, but a few days later, Lu Juan's brother came to her again, and said that he had a message from Xu Meifeng for her.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Wen Jiaxin felt that this was a trap.

There was also a moment when she thought that if Xu Meifeng sent people to find her every now and then, it might not be a bad thing for her to die like this.

As long as Xu Meifeng is alive, there will always be someone to remind her that she has such a disgraceful mother. On the contrary, if she died, everyone might gradually forget about her.

Only then could she completely get rid of the shadow left by her mother.

But such a thought only flashed through her mind. Wen Jiaxin never thought that Xu Meifeng would really die, and die so suddenly, and the time was so coincidental.

Wen Jiaxin couldn't help but think that maybe the letter Xu Meifeng wrote to her was not a trap, but a real cry for help.

But she didn't save her.

She killed her mother!

No! It wasn't her who killed Xu Meifeng!

Although she occasionally had the idea that it might be better for Xu Meifeng to die, she still hoped that she was alive in her heart. She didn't really want her to die!

The one who killed Xu Meifeng was the person who bought the murder behind the scenes!

But who was the person who bought the murder?

Wen Jiaxin clenched her fists, wanting to rush to Wen Rongsheng and beg him to find out the truth.

But before she could move, she shook her head. No, the people who wanted to kill Xu Meifeng were none other than these people: Chen Baoqin, Wen Jiadong, Wen Yue... and her daddy himself.

It was impossible for her daddy to investigate his own relatives for a woman who betrayed him. He might even be the one who hired the murderer behind the scenes!

Moreover, the Correctional Service Department would not deal with the bodies of prisoners casually. They would definitely contact the families before cremation.

Since it was her daddy's assistant who called to tell her about this, maybe the Correctional Service Department contacted her daddy. But her daddy did not tell her about her mommy's death immediately. Instead, he asked the assistant to send the body for cremation and then call her.

What does this mean?

This means that he might have guessed it, or he knew the cause of her mother's death, but didn't want her to pursue it.

And she couldn't go against her dad's wishes and insist on pursuing the cause of Xu Meifeng's death.

Looking at the mirror, Wen Jiaxin smiled self-deprecatingly.

After laughing, she turned on the faucet and continued to wash her face.

After washing her face, Wen Jiaxin set out for the funeral home. When she got Xu Meifeng's ashes, she was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you called Jiayi?"

"Mr. Wen said that the fourth lady is studying in the UK, and it's not easy for her to come back. Let's talk about it when she comes back on vacation." The assistant replied, "Mr. Wen also said that it's up to you to decide how to bury Ms. Xu."

"Okay, I get it."

...

When Wen Jiaxin received Xu Meifeng's ashes, Wen Jiaqi had just arrived at the Wen family. She got out of the car and walked inside while shouting, "Mommy! Mommy!"

Chen Baoqin, who heard the noise, came out and asked, "What happened?"

Wen Jiaqi walked quickly to Chen Baoqin and said excitedly, "Mommy, have you heard? Xu Meifeng is dead!"

Chen Baoqin was stunned for half a second and asked, "Xu Meifeng is dead? When did it happen?" Didn't she receive the news? Looking at Wen Jiaqi puzzledly, she asked, "Where did you hear about this?"

"I'm not sure, probably in the past two days." Wen Jiaqi said with a proud expression, "I asked someone to keep an eye on Wen Jiaxin. She just left the company and went straight to the funeral home. When she came out, she was holding an urn. Who else could it be except Xu Meifeng's death?"

After that, she stared at Chen Baoqin and asked suspiciously, "Mom, how come you are not surprised or excited at all to hear such big news?"

"How can I not be surprised and excited?" Chen Baoqin straightened her back and said, "It's because I was too surprised that I didn't react in time."

She glanced at Wen Jiaqi and asked, "I'm just a little curious. Do you have the money to hire someone to keep an eye on Wen Jiaxin?"

These words hit Wen Jiaqi's sore spot.

She was the poorest among her siblings. She had finally made some money in the stock market some time ago, but Lin Zhiming lost it all in a few days.

Even so, he still had the nerve to talk to her about whether he loved her or not.

Wen Jiaqi ignored him. She didn't even go to see him when his case went to court and he was sentenced to prison.

Wen Jiaqi got angry when she talked about Lin Zhiming going to prison. Lin Zhiming committed the crime before she knew him, but it just happened to happen when she was dating someone. Looking at it from a vertical perspective, his imprisonment has nothing to do with her, right?

Those unscrupulous newspapers actually pushed all the responsibility for Lin Zhiming's imprisonment onto her, saying that she was unlucky, so the men she dated would go to prison one after another.

Wen Jiaqi was furious when she saw the report that day. She wanted to rush to the newspaper company to confront the reporters who wrote the report.

What do you mean she is unlucky and has a bad fate?

She should say that those men are unlucky for her! If she hadn't met those rubbish men, how could her reputation become like this? And how could she still be single?

Now thinking back, Wen Jiaqi can only feel lucky.

Fortunately, she spent a lot of money on Lin Zhiming when she was dating him, plus he took the initiative to lend her money, which was almost 800,000.

Although 800,000 is not much compared to the money Lin Zhiming lost in the end, the initial capital she took out was less than 500,000, so she didn't lose anything.

Wen Jiaqi has come to her senses now. That loser Lin Zhiming told her that the stock market would rise if she bought it, but in the end, the stock market lost money. He never told her the truth. It is hard to say whether her money has doubled to more than one million.

After comparing the two sides, Wen Jiaqi feels that it is even.

Anyway, she does not intend to pay back Lin Zhiming's money. Anyway, he did not say it was a loan when he gave her the money, so it doesn't matter if he refuses. Besides, Lin Zhiming is in prison now, and he probably can't care about this money.

Because she spent money so recklessly before, Wen Jiaqi is very poor now. She has moved out of the house that Lin Zhiming found for her. The landlord doesn't mind her continuing to live there, but she has no money to pay the rent.

Actually, Wen Jiaqi wanted to use this opportunity to move back to the Wen family. After the quarrel with Lin Zhiming, she is now clear-headed and finally knows that Wen Rongsheng is doing

this for her own good. It's just that she is willing to admit her mistakes, but Wen Rongsheng is not going to forgive her. Wen Jiaqi has no choice but to move back into the house that Chen Baoqin gave her.

During this time, she went home whenever she had time, just to show up more in front of her parents, hoping to get their forgiveness.

Hearing Chen Baoqin mention money, Wen Jiaqi looked embarrassed: "I found a bodyguard before, mommy, just tell me how I did about this matter? I came back to you as soon as I got the exact information." She didn't even show off in front of Wen Jiaxin.

Chen Baoqin also felt that Wen Jiaqi did a good job. Although she was the one who hired the killer, Lu Juan was in prison, and Xu Meifeng was dead. She would definitely be under surveillance, and it would be inconvenient for her to spread the news.

If Wen Jiaqi hadn't come back and said it, she might not have known about it until Wen Rongsheng mentioned it, which led to her being unprepared and revealing clues in a hurry.

Although Chen Baoqin did not regret hiring a killer to kill Xu Meifeng, nor did she feel guilty, she had long since stopped having expectations of Wen Rongsheng.

After knowing the truth, would Wen Rongsheng remember Xu Meifeng's kindness and abandon her?

Chen Baoqin was not afraid of being abandoned, but she was afraid of property losses after being abandoned.

Thinking of this, Chen Baoqin returned to her room, took out her checkbook, and wrote a check for 200,000 yuan to Wen Jiaqi as a reward. The latter was overjoyed at first, but then she felt that the amount was too little and wanted Chen Baoqin to give her more, but she rolled her eyes and told her to go back to where she came from! As

soon as Wen Jiaqi left, Chen Baoqin returned to her room and called Wen Jiadong.

The latter hurried back from the company and asked Chen Baoqin when he saw her as soon as he entered the room, "Is it true? Is that bitch really dead?"

"Really! I called your dad and it's absolutely true!" Chen Baoqin held Wen Jiadong's arm, winked at him, and said in a low voice, "The private detective hired by Jiaqi said that Xu Meifeng's body was cremated, and Wen Jiaxin rented a small cubicle in the columbarium area of ​​the cemetery to place her ashes. The cost is only a few thousand yuan a year."

Speaking of the cost, Chen Baoqin showed disdain, but at the same time she felt happy in her heart. She wanted to let Xu Meifeng do whatever she wanted for her daughter's agency. In the end, Wen Jiaxin was reluctant to even spend money to find a better cemetery for her, and just settled the matter with a few thousand yuan a year.

Wen Jiadong thought it was not enough, and said with a fierce expression: "It's a good thing for her to have her ashes buried in the cemetery!"

Chen Baoqin knew Wen Jiadong well, and guessed what he was thinking when she heard him say that, and said: "Well, Xu Meifeng is dead, you should be more open-minded, not to mention that for someone like her, dumping her ashes into the sea will pollute the seawater, and burying them in the soil may actually help her."

Wen Jiadong raised his head, with a puzzled expression.

"Who do you think those two people in the third room are?" Chen Baoqin asked with a smile on her lips.

Wen Jiadong frowned, although when he first knew the truth, he was angry with Wen Jiaxin because he wanted to take revenge on them together, and was furious at Wen Rongsheng for placing them in other houses in order to protect them.

But so much time has passed since the incident, Wen Jiadong has calmed down a long time ago. Although it is difficult for him to treat Wen Jiaxin and her sister as his sisters, he is no longer angry and does not think that they are bad people.

Chen Baoqin didn't think so, and said, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With a mother like Xu Meifeng, how can the two in the third room be good people? If they have a conscience, can they break off relations with Xu Meifeng so cleanly and ignore her? Just wait, in less than three years, Xu Meifeng will not even be able to stay in the urn area! If you rush to bury her ashes now, you might find a place for her to rest by accident."

"So, mommy, you mean that I should stop caring about that bitch?"

"Don't worry about it," Chen Baoqin said firmly, "just wait and see if you don't believe me."

Wen Jiadong decided to believe Chen Baoqin and no longer thought about how to deal with Xu Meifeng's ashes.

But during this period of time, what supported him was the anger in his heart and the resentment towards Xu Meifeng. Now that the target of his resentment was dead, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

After sitting there for a while, Wen Jiadong said, "Mommy, why don't I feel so happy that the bitch died?"

Wen Jiadong didn't know the reason, but Chen Baoqin knew it clearly.

The harm caused by Xu Meifeng's drugging Wen Jiadong could not be reversed. In the past, he thought it was his own fault so he indulged himself. Later, he found out that he was harmed by Xu Meifeng, and what supported him was hatred.

Now that Xu Meifeng is dead, the hatred should also dissipate, so he is confused.

Chen Baoqin thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose and tears falling one by one. Wen Jiadong felt the wetness on the back of his hand, looked up at Chen Baoqin who was standing there, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "Mommy, why are you crying? Xu Meifeng is dead, we should be happy."

"You're right, we should be happy." Chen Baoqin lowered her head, wiped her tears and said, "No matter how happy you are in your heart, you have to be careful in front of your father. Don't let him know that we did it, understand?"

"I know."

...

Although he knew that the second house knew everything, Wen Rongsheng still mentioned the news at the dinner table that night, and implicitly advised that Chen Baoqin and her son would be dead and the debt would be cleared, and the family would be harmonious and everything would be prosperous.

"A harmonious family will bring prosperity" is a phrase that Wen Rongsheng always said. In the past, although Chen Baoqin felt that it was difficult to have a harmonious family with the situation in the Wen family, she was willing to support Wen Rongsheng.

Now hearing this again, she just smiled perfunctorily and said nothing.

Wen Jiadong was even more uncooperative. He used to be very afraid of Wen Rongsheng, but after so many things happened, Wen Rongsheng's image in his heart was no longer majestic, and he even still had resentment towards Wen Rongsheng.

But neither the mother nor the son refuted the first half of Wen Rongsheng's words. What else could they do if they didn't write off the debts? Would they continue to deal with the third sister?

Chen Baoqin was an ordinary person after all. She couldn't do what Xu Meifeng did, killing people and sleeping peacefully for so many years.

When Xu Meifeng was alive, she hoped that Lu Juan would take action earlier, but when she really received the news of her death, Chen Baoqin felt a little uneasy in addition to feeling happy.

Wen Rongsheng didn't feel uneasy, but Wen Jiaxin and Wen Jiayi were his sisters after all, and they had always had a good relationship for so many years. It was hard for him to be cruel to them.

So at this time, the mother and son of the second wife tacitly accepted the saying "debts are written off when someone dies" and did not plan to continue to retaliate against the remaining people in the third wife.

But the next day, they changed their minds -

because Wen Jiadong received a letter.
