Chapter 104 Dispute

"What? She and Xu Meifeng drugged Jiadong together?!"

Because of panic, Wen Jiaxin was unable to deny it immediately, so Wen Jiaqi's voice rang first.

After saying this, she didn't know what she was thinking of. She put her hands on the table, stared at the person sitting opposite her and continued, "I knew you were not a good person! Thanks to Daddy, you always thought you were a good daughter. Now your true colors are exposed!"

Wen Jiaxin finally reacted. She clenched her right hand holding the chopsticks, and said with red eyes, "Mommy did something wrong. It's normal for you to be angry with me. I can understand, but I really don't know what you mean, and I haven't done what you said." She turned to look at Wen Rongsheng and said with tears in her eyes, "Daddy, you have to believe me!"

Thinking of how she was deceived by Wen Jiaxin's attitude in the past, Wen Jiadong sneered and said, "What a silver tongue!"

Chen Baoqin also held up the letter and said, "You said you did nothing and knew nothing, but your mother in prison didn't say that!"

As she spoke, Chen Baoqin held the opened letter in front of Wen Rongsheng: "This is a letter Xu Meifeng wrote to her precious daughter after she went to prison. Look, there is a hidden meaning here, 'If you don't want someone to drug you, save me.'"

Wen Rongsheng, who had been frowning and silent, looked at the direction where Chen Baoqin's finger was pointing one by one, and sure enough, he could form a sentence, and the corners of his mouth straightened.

Noticing the slight change in Wen Rongsheng's expression, Wen Jiaxin shuddered in her heart and almost blurted out "Impossible, I tore up the letter my mother wrote a long time ago, and there is no cover in the letter."

But when the words came to her lips, Wen Jiaxin suddenly reacted, no, she couldn't say that.

Although this could clear her of suspicion, it would easily leave her father with the impression that she was cold and ruthless. Otherwise, why didn't she save Xu Meifeng after she received the letter for help?

Moreover, people from the first and second houses were eyeing her covetously. Once she admitted that she had received Xu Meifeng's letter, it might be regarded as evidence that she was still in contact with Xu Meifeng, and she would ask her father to remove her from the will.

Wen Jiaxin's brain was working rapidly, and she quickly found the loophole in Chen Baoqin's words. She pretended to be surprised and said with wide eyes: "What are you talking about, Second Mom? When did Mommy write me a letter? How come I didn't know about it?"

Then she stood up and reached out to take the letter.

Chen Baoqin was afraid that she would destroy the evidence out of desperation, so she quickly put the letter in her arms and said, "Stop trying to make excuses. The handwriting on this letter is clearly your own mother's!" She

then handed the letter to Wen Rongsheng and said, "Look, is this written by Xu Meifeng?"

Wen Rongsheng and Xu Meifeng have lived together for so many years, so he naturally recognized her handwriting. He nodded and said, "It is indeed her handwriting."

"That's strange. Why did the letter written by my mother before her death fall into the hands of Second Mom? Second Mom, you said that Mommy asked me for help?" Wen Jiaxin pretended to be shocked and asked, "Didn't Mommy die of illness?"

This was what Wen Rongsheng asked his assistant to tell Wen Jiaxin, but in fact they all knew that this statement was very false. Wen Jiaxin understood what he meant and did not intend to pursue it.

Chen Baoqin didn't know this, and she was a little surprised. Did Xu Meifeng die of illness?

No, it was impossible.

She was in good health, and it was impossible for her to die of illness just a few months after being in prison. She must have been killed by Lu Juan.

Chen Baoqin thought so, and a trace of guilt flashed across her eyes.

But soon she straightened her chest again, thinking that Xu Meifeng had done so many bad things, she deserved to die! And she, the one who hired the murderer, was also enforcing justice!

Chen Baoqin calmed down and said, "How do I know how your mother died? The point now is not how your mother died, but the letter she wrote to you saying that you conspired with her to drug Jiadong!"

Seeing that Wen Jiaxin wanted to confuse the point, Chen Baoqin immediately turned to Wen Rongsheng, squeezed out tears and said, "Rongsheng, Jiadong is your only son! He had the opportunity to be a father, but because of the wolfish ambitions of the third wife's mother and daughter, he lost this opportunity, and you also lost the grandson you should have had! You can't just let this happen. "What?"

Wen Jiadong also spoke up to cooperate with Chen Baoqin: "Yes, Xu Meifeng wanted to harm me, I admit it! But Wen Jiaxin, I thought I treated you well all these years. When you were young, I thought of you whenever I went out to buy something. After I arrived in England, I believed in you wholeheartedly. I thought that although we were born from different mothers, we were siblings with the same blood. I really didn't expect you to drug me!"

Wen Jiaqi also said angrily: "I told you a long time ago that she was not a good person, but you didn't believe it! Now you've been harmed by her!"

"Who could have thought that my sister whom I love so much," Wen Jiadong lowered his head and said with a sad face, "would actually hurt me like this!"

Listening to the second room's singing and acting, Wen Jiaxin ignored everything else and cried, "But, but I really didn't do it! Second brother loves me so much, and I respect him so much. How could I drug him!"

"Bah!" Chen Baoqin couldn't help but spit at Wen Jiaxin, "Your mother wrote it in the letter, and you are still making excuses! Rongsheng! You can't be fooled by this unlucky woman! You must stand up for Jiadong!"

"But I haven't seen what's written in the letter in your hand yet, and I'm accused of harming my second brother..." Wen Jiaxin didn't give up the struggle, "Even if this letter was written by Mommy to me, why did it end up in your hands? She even asked me for help..."

Wen Jiaxin seemed to have just realized that Xu Meifeng's death was unclear, and raised her voice to ask, "Does my mommy's death have anything to do with you?"

"Your mother has done so many bad things, she deserves to die!" Chen Baoqin denied it flatly, "God can't stand her continuing to do evil, so don't blame me! Rongsheng, you must deal with Wen Jiaxin. She can drug Jiadong now, what else will she do in the future? Jiaqi just said something unpleasant before, and you drove her out of the house and cut off all ties with her. You must not take this matter lightly!"

Wen Jiaqi Feeling unbalanced, he stood up and said, "That's right! Daddy, it's okay if you are partial at other times, but not this time! If you don't punish Wen Jiaxin, I will, I will move back!"

Wen Jiaxin seized on Xu Meifeng's death and said, "Although my mother did a lot of bad things, there are laws to punish her. If she really died of illness, it's fine, but if she was killed by someone, I will never let it go!"

"Rongsheng..."

"Daddy..."

The mother and son of the second room, as well as Wen Jiaxin from the third room, the four of them talked one after another, and no one was willing to stop first, and no one wanted to be suppressed by others.

For a while, the restaurant was as lively as a vegetable market.

Wen Rongsheng finally couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up!"

The restaurant quickly became quiet. Everyone from the second room looked unconvinced, and Wen Jiaxin from the third room had red eyes, looking angry and sad.

In silence, Wen Rongsheng scanned the faces of the people in the two rooms one by one, until Chen Baoqin could no longer hold back and wanted to speak, then he stood up and said to her: "Come with me to the study."

Chen Baoqin frowned, she wanted to solve this matter when everyone was here, and didn't want to go to the study with him.

But Wen Rongsheng didn't intend to ask for her opinion at all, and walked out of the restaurant after he finished speaking. Chen Baoqin stood there and hesitated for half a second, and finally decided to follow him.

After walking into the study with the letter, Chen Baoqin stepped in front of Wen Rongsheng and asked, "Rongsheng, don't listen to what that girl Wen Jiaxin said. This letter is absolutely true! Xu Meifeng is her biological mother, she would definitely not frame her, so the fact that she drugged Jiadong must be true! She can't just do such a thing..."

Before Chen Baoqin finished speaking, Wen Rongsheng asked, "Where did the letter come from?"

Chen Baoqin didn't expect him to ask this question. After a pause, she answered, "Someone else sent it to Jiadong."

"Sent to Jiadong?"

"Yes, it was sent directly to our house a few days ago," Chen Baoqin brought out a witness for fear that Wen Rongsheng would not believe it, "Housekeeper Xu knew about it, you can ask her if you don't believe me."

Wen Rongsheng nodded and said, "It was sent by someone else, which means you don't know the real source of the letter?"

"How could I not know? Wasn't the letter written by Xu Meifeng to Wen Jiaxin?"

"Did you see her write it?"

"I didn't see her write it, but she definitely wrote such a letter."

Wen Rongsheng continued to ask, "How can you be sure that she must have written such a letter?"

Chen Baoqin was speechless for a moment. She had asked Lu Juan's brother, so she knew that Xu Meifeng had written such a letter, but could she say that?

Of course not!

Once she said it, it would inevitably lead to more problems for Wen Rongsheng, making it impossible for him to justify himself and exposing the fact that he hired a murderer.

When Chen Baoqin was silent, Wen Rongsheng continued: "In addition, if what is written in this letter is true, does it prove that the content of the letter is also true, and Xu Meifeng did encounter death threats before her death, and someone wanted to buy her life?"

Chen Baoqin was a little panicked, and looked away from Wen Rongsheng and said: "I thought Xu Meifeng's death and what we are discussing are two different things."

"You think they are two different things, but Jiaxin may not think so."

"Why do you care what she thinks?" Chen Baoqin said impatiently. She felt that Wen Rongsheng talked so much just because he was partial to Wen Jiaxin.

Seeing this, Wen Rongsheng pointed out, "Are you the one who hired the killer to kill Xu Meifeng?"

If Chen Baoqin was just a little panicked just now, she was very panicked now. Even her face changed color. She asked sharply, "What do you mean?!"

She slapped the letter in front of Wen Rongsheng and poked the letter paper with her finger and said angrily, "Can't you see? The words on this letter are clearly from Xu Meifeng! No matter how the letter came from, it is a foregone conclusion that Wen Jiaxin drugged Wen Jiadong! As for Xu Meifeng's death, She deserved it!"

She glared at Wen Rongsheng: "I don't understand why you keep mixing these two things up. Xu Meifeng did so many bad things, she deserved to die! But Jiadong is different. He is innocent, or are you partial to Wen Jiaxin to the extent that anything she does can be forgiven?"

Seeing that Chen Baoqin was getting more and more agitated, Wen Rongsheng stopped arguing with her and gave in: "I can deal with Wen Jiaxin, sever the relationship, remove her from the will, all of which are fine, but what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Can you take over and go to jail?"

The joyful expression on Chen Baoqin's face froze, and gradually turned into disbelief: "What do you mean? For your good daughter, you want to send me to jail?"

"It's not that I want to send you to jail, you have to ask yourself, what have you done?" Wen Rongsheng pushed the letter in front of him to Chen Baoqin, "I can not ask who hired the murderer, but do you think that after I break up with Jiaxin, she will let it go? Or do you think you can withstand the investigation? If you can withstand it, OK, I'll listen to you!"

Chen Baoqin sat up straight, her expression and sitting posture showed a tense state, and her mouth seemed to be sealed by cement, and she couldn't open it at all.

She knew that she couldn't withstand the investigation.

Although she felt that she had been very careful and had someone transfer the money several times, if the police really wanted to investigate, there would always be clues. But

she felt unwilling to let Wen Jiaxin go.

Wen Rongsheng did not let her make a decision immediately and said, "You can think about it for two days before making a decision."

After Chen Baoqin went out, Wen Rongsheng called Wen Jiaxin and asked her to come to the study.

When they walked to the door of the restaurant, they met. When Chen Baoqin saw her, she frowned, stopped and watched her go to the corridor. She felt vaguely that something was wrong.

When she walked into the restaurant, Chen Baoqin remembered.

Yes! Didn't she make up her mind to let Wen Rongsheng deal with Wen Jiaxin on the spot? Why did they talk separately?

Chen Baoqin was filled with remorse and wanted to go back to look for someone, but she stopped when she thought of Wen Rongsheng's last question. While she was hesitating, Wen Jiaqi couldn't wait any longer and came up to ask, "Mommy, how is it?"

Chen Baoqin sighed in her heart and said, "I don't know."

...

"Daddy." Wen Jiaxin walked into the study and shouted anxiously.

Although she tried to pretend to be calm, she was young after all, and some worries were revealed in her eyes.

Wen Rongsheng sat behind the desk. Although he was shorter than Wen Jiaxin visually, the way he looked at Wen Jiaxin was more like looking down on her, looking down with scrutiny.

He knew that the relationship between his children was not harmonious. Needless to say, Wen Jiaqi always picked on Wen Yue when she was the only one, but when Wen Jiaxin came back, the target of the quarrel changed.

Wen Jiaxin seemed to be mostly patient, but in fact, she was not pure.

Wen Yue basically did not take the initiative to provoke a fight, but she showed her dislike for the second and third wives.

So he always said that a harmonious family is the best, but he knew in his heart that it was difficult for this family to be harmonious.

But no matter how much he knew that his children were not getting along, he did not think badly of them. He thought that even if they wanted to fight for the right of inheritance, these children's methods would be fair.

Even after Xu Meifeng's true face was exposed, he was unwilling to think about the possibility that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.

But looking at the letter in front of him, Wen Rongsheng could no longer deceive himself.

When he didn't know, his children had grown up to look like he didn't recognize them.

Wen Jiaxin, who felt like she was being watched by Wen Rongsheng, pursed her lips, revealed a stiff smile and said, "Daddy, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wen Rongsheng finally spoke: "What do you want to say about the accusation against your second mother?"

"Daddy, I really didn't do anything. I don't know why the second mother said that, and I have never seen the so-called letter." Wen Jiaxin said, her eyes gradually reddened.

Wen Rongsheng's expression did not change. He just pointed to the letter on the table and said, "Take a look."

Following the direction of his finger, Wen Jiaxin hesitated and reached out to pick up the letter. She was stunned at first glance: "Impossible..."

"What's impossible?"

Wen Jiaxin did not answer, and lowered her head to continue reading the letter.

The content of this letter is similar to the one that Lu Juan's brother gave her, but the letter she tore up did not have a hidden header. The whole letter was Xu Meifeng's cry.

The wording of this letter is relatively tougher, and there is a threat hidden in the hidden header.

In addition, not only are the handwritings of the two letters exactly the same, but the stationery is also exactly the same, and they are the same brand and model.

Obviously, Xu Meifeng would not write two identical letters to her, so these two letters must be one real and one fake. Wen Jiaxin thought that the letter she tore up was real before, but now she is not sure.

But if this letter is real, how did Chen Baoqin get the letter? Why did she forge a letter and have someone send it to her?

Wen Jiaxin soon had the answer in her heart, that is, Chen Baoqin was the one who hired the killer!

Chen Baoqin hired Lu Juan to help her kill people, and asked Xu Meifeng to write such a letter through Lu Juan, leaving the real letter and pretending to be a fake letter, in order to get rid of her.

If she hadn't agreed to save Xu Meifeng, Chen Baoqin could have taken out the letter like she did now, accusing her of conspiring with Xu Meifeng to drug Wen Jiadong.

And if she agreed to save Xu Meifeng, she would have been accused of still having contact with Xu Meifeng after she paid the money, and she would have used this as an excuse to ask her father to remove her from his will.

Chen Baoqin's move was really cruel!

Wen Jiaxin thought about it, put down the letter, raised her head, and said with red eyes: "This is impossible! I am Mommy's biological daughter. Even if she is in danger, she can't write such a letter to threaten me! This letter must be fake!"

"That's a heartless and ungrateful woman. Why couldn't she write such a letter to you?" Wen Rongsheng said, "Maybe because you broke up with her, she hated you too."

Wen Jiaxin retorted: "If Mommy hates me, then the content of this letter is even less likely to be true!"

This statement is reasonable, but Wen Rongsheng didn't care, and jumped and asked: "Did you receive Xu Meifeng's letter for help?"

"No..."

"Wen Jiaxin, I want to hear the truth."

Although Wen Rongsheng's tone was calm, Wen Jiaxin could hear a murderous aura in his words, as if she would be completely abandoned if she dared to lie.

Wen Jiaxin couldn't resist, her shoulders slumped and she said, "I did receive a letter from Mommy asking for help, but not this one. That letter didn't have a clue at all..."

"Where's that letter?"

Wen Jiaxin said with tears in her eyes, "I tore it up."

"Did you tear it up after reading it?"

"Yeah."

Wen Rongsheng closed his eyes and said after a long while, "I understand, you can go out."

"Daddy..."

Wen Jiaxin wanted to say something else, but Wen Rongsheng didn't want to listen, so he just raised his hand and waved.

...

After the conversation with Wen Jiaxin ended, about a quarter of an hour later, Wen Rongsheng made another call.

It was Wen Yue who came in this time.

Seeing her, Wen Rongsheng's expression eased a little, and he took the initiative to ask: "What do you think about what happened today?"

"I saw it with my eyes."

Wen Rongsheng choked and asked directly: "Do you think Jiaxin really participated in drugging Jiadong?"

Wen Yue stopped sneer and nodded: "Yes, I think so."

This answer surprised Wen Rongsheng, and he murmured: "I thought you would say something to evade me."

"If you want to hear it, I can tell you."

"No need." Wen Rongsheng sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What do you think I should do about this matter? Remove Wen Jiaxin from the will, and then watch her go to the police station to report the case and investigate the truth of Xu Meifeng's death?"

Wen Yue said sincerely: "This is a good way to deal with it."

"Ah Yue," Wen Rongsheng opened his eyes and looked at Wen Yue helplessly, "I hope you can help me come up with an idea."

Wen Yue sneered and said, "Don't you think this is strange? This matter has nothing to do with me, why should I help to come up with an idea? Besides, you are the richest man, you have experienced everything? You can't think of a way to have both, can I think of it?"

Wen Rongsheng asked, "Does this matter really have nothing to do with you?"

Unlike Chen Baoqin and Wen Jiaxin who would reveal their secrets as soon as they were asked, Wen Yue had a very good mentality. In addition, she had eaten so many melons in front of people, and her expression management was first-class. She said calmly, "What does it have to do with me?"

"I asked Baoqin, and she said that the letter was sent to Jiadong by someone else. I also asked Jiaxin, and she said that she received a similar letter, but the content was not hidden."

There are only a few families in the Wen family. The mastermind behind the scenes is not the second or third family, and only Wen Yue is left.

Wen Rongsheng did not say it all, but they are all smart people, and everyone knows how to listen to the tone.

Wen Yue smiled and asked: "So, you believe Chen Baoqin and Wen Jiaxin, but you just don't believe me?"

Wen Rongsheng was speechless again. Although he believed Chen Baoqin and Wen Jiaxin because they were both witnesses, and from their subtle expressions, he could see that they were not lying, but he couldn't see the clues from Wen Yue's expression.

So he didn't think he was just listening to one side, but facing Wen Yue's accusation, he still felt a little guilty.

Wen Yue smiled and shrugged, skipping the tit-for-tat question and asking, "Do you know why this family is so torn apart?"

Wen Rongsheng's expression was gloomy.

"Because you don't consider the reality, but always think that family harmony is the

key to success." As if she found this sentence very funny, Wen Yue laughed and said, "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Even brothers often fight for a house, not to mention six children and three mothers in this family. How can we live in peace?"

"If you are fair, it would be fine to divide the property equally, but you are not. In your heart, sons come first and daughters come second. It's okay that Wen Jiadong is capable, but the fact is that apart from having more parts than women, he is useless. With such a big target standing in front of you, who can resist taking action against him?"

As Wen Yue made his accusations, Wen Rongsheng's expression became increasingly tense.

Wen Yue didn't care and continued, "If you had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, perhaps things would have turned around, but you still don't. The children made a mistake, but you didn't punish them. You asked them a few questions and wanted them to repent. The children suffered an injury, but you didn't compensate them. You even wanted them to let it go for the sake of the family. But you didn't think about it. Besides you, who else cares about this family? How could they be willing to let it go if you asked them to? "

After Wen Yue finished speaking, Wen Rongsheng's face turned so dark that it seemed like water could drip out of it, but he remained calm and asked: "So you think I should deal with this matter severely?"

Wen Yue was not responsible, and shrugged and said: "You can also handle it gently. Anyway, this family has been divided to this extent, and it doesn't matter if

it is a little more chaotic." She felt that there was no difference, but in Wen Rongsheng's view, the difference was huge.

This family can't be in chaos anymore.
