Chapter 9 Second House Mother and Daughter
After taking a shower, Wen Yue drove to Taiping Mountain.
After what happened with Wen Jialiang, Wen Yue realized that it was easy to offend people by leading others to eat melons, especially when she set her goal on the wealthy. The reason why
she was safe this time was because Zhou Baoyi was dependent on Wen Rongsheng. After this incident broke out, she was afraid of being retaliated by Wen Rongsheng. She didn't even have time to escape, so she naturally didn't think of revenge.
But at the same time, she still offended Wen Rongsheng.
Although Wen Rongsheng is a law-abiding businessman, the rabbit will bite when it is anxious. Once this incident happened, he lost all his face. Wen Yue believed that if she was not a daughter of his father, Wen Rongsheng would definitely find a way to make her vent his anger.
But it is impossible for Wen Yue to catch the Wen family and fleece them later. Even if she wants to, there must be so much wool in the Wen family to fleece, right?
If she wants to survive, she will have to punch in other melon owners sooner or later, and these melon owners must be wealthy or celebrities.
Wealth is sought in danger. After earning more than 90,000 melon points from Zhou Baoyi and her son in half a day, Wen Yue can no longer look down on the little she earns from ordinary people.
But as everyone knows, many wealthy people in Hong Kong at this time have turned from black to white, and they are not short of lives.
Wen Yue cannot guarantee that every melon owner she punches in in the future will be as law-abiding as Wen Rongsheng, so she can only pull out the banner of the richest man's daughter to protect herself.
In this case, Wen Yue cannot offend this cheap father too much, at least he cannot let him announce to the outside world in anger that Wen Yue will be expelled from the family.
After thinking about it, Wen Yue decided to meet him first.
As soon as the Lamborghini approached No. 36 Barker Road, reporters swarmed up with long guns and cannons. When they saw who was sitting in the car, they all asked in a hoarse voice: "Ms. Wen, have you seen today's news?"
"Ms. Wen, are the photos in the news real? Is your brother your father's biological son?"
"Ms. Wen, it is said that Zhou Baoyi and her son have been taken away by your father. Are they still alive?"
"Ms. Wen..."
Wen Yue had seen similar plots when watching Hong Kong dramas in her previous life. Every time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart at the professionalism of Hong Kong reporters. No matter it was cold or hot, they would stay on duty all day long when the news came.
Although she admired him, Wen Yue had no intention of getting out of the car to be interviewed, and slowly drove the car into the gate.
After parking the car, Wen Yue said to the butler Xu who came to greet her: "I saw a lot of reporters outside. The weather is hot, and they are prone to heatstroke standing under the sun. Please ask someone to prepare some iced drinks and send them out."
Although Wen Yue did not live in the Wen family permanently, she was the second daughter of the Wen family after all, so Butler Xu would naturally not refuse her request and said: "I will arrange it right away."
Wen Yue nodded and asked: "Where is Daddy?"
Butler Xu said: "The master has not come back yet."
"Not back yet?"
Wen Yue asked Butler Xu, and then asked the system in her heart: [What are Wen Rongsheng and Zhou Baoyi doing now? 】
It was obvious that the system had been paying attention to Zhou Baoyi, and immediately replied: 【They were confronting each other, and your dad scolded Zhou Baoyi for not knowing what was good for her, eating his food, using his money, and even daring to use his money to support a man outside. 】
【Wow, that sounds terrible. 】 Although she said so, there was no sympathy on Wen Yue's face. 【What did Zhou Baoyi say? 】
【She was begging for mercy, asking Wen Rongsheng to forgive her for the sake of their past relationship. 】
Wen Yue asked uncertainly: 【What do you mean by forgiving her? 】
【Reconcile,】 The system's voice sounded a bit difficult to explain, 【She promised Wen Rongsheng that she would never be indecisive again and would try her best to give him another son. 】
Wen Yue's expression became indescribable: [What gave Zhou Baoyi the confidence to make her feel that Wen Rongsheng must have her? 】
In this matter, Wen Yue did not sympathize with Wen Rongsheng.
The premise of loyalty is that there are only two people in a relationship. Wen Rongsheng himself has three wives and four concubines, so why should he expect Zhou Baoyi to stay with an old man like him?
Wen Yue did not sympathize with Zhou Baoyi either, because when she was with Wen Rongsheng, her original mother was still alive. In other words, she was doing what she knew. Although Hong Kong society laughs at poverty but not at prostitution, Wen Yue always looked down on this behavior.
What's more, Zhou Baoyi and her son had offended her, and she was not a saintly mother, so why should she sympathize with them?
She just thought that Zhou Baoyi was beautiful, but stupid. She didn't even see what kind of man she was following until now.
Zhou Baoyi probably thought that Wen Rongsheng had so many women, so it didn't matter if she made a mistake. But she forgot that she had been relying on this man to survive. She couldn't even be independent, so how could she talk about fairness with others?
What's more, most men, especially rich men, are very hypocritical. They think that cheating is excusable, but it is unforgivable for women to cheat on them!
Wen Yue asked: [What did Wen Rongsheng say? ]
[He told her to get out. ]
"Tsk."
Wen Yue felt a little sorry. She couldn't see such an exciting scene, and could only listen to the system voice description.
Just as she was about to ask if the system could be upgraded to allow for live streaming, an exaggerated voice came from the hall: "Hey, isn't this the second daughter of the Wen family who printed her father's news into a newspaper and gave it away for free? What brought you back?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Wen Yue saw a mother and daughter who looked similar sitting on the sofa. The one
who was speaking was the younger one. She was wearing a red Chanel suit, her hair was all tied up, and she wore the same beret at an angle.
Because of her slender figure, the dress looked good on her, but her makeup was a little thicker. She wore a necklace inlaid with large diamonds around her neck, and the gems on her hands were as big as pigeon eggs. Overall, she looked rich and exaggerated.
Compared with the young woman, the older woman looked much more elegant. After hearing her daughter's words, she scolded: "Jiaqi, Ah Yue is your sister. She can come back whenever she wants. Why do you say such things?"
The middle-aged woman was Chen Baoqin, a concubine taken in by Wen Rongsheng in the early 1960s. After her mother passed away, she never got promoted, so she is still called the second wife.
Unlike the eldest daughter who was brainless and only knew how to fight, Chen Baoqin was obviously much more calculating. If someone who didn't know her saw the loving look she gave Wen Yue at this time, they would definitely think they were mother and daughter.
Wen Jiaqi felt very jealous and said unhappily, "Mommy, why are you being polite to her? She caused such a big disaster and made our Wen family a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. Daddy definitely doesn't want to see her. It's better to let her go quickly, so that Daddy won't make a scene when he comes back later."
"Jia Qi!" Chen Baoqin raised her voice and spoke again to Wen Yue, "Ayue, don't mind it. Your elder sister is a straightforward person and she has no bad intentions."
Wen Yue chuckled, "Of course I don't mind. I won't argue with idiots."
Wen Jiaqi's face changed, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"Whoever asks me who I'm calling an idiot is an idiot."
"Wen Yue!"
Wen Jiaqi shouted angrily, but Wen Yue ignored her. She threw her bag and sat on the empty sofa. She picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.
"Mom, look at her attitude!" The ignored Wen Jiaqi's face became even angrier, and she stomped her feet and said to Chen Baoqin, "She's so weird as soon as she comes back. She doesn't even call out to you, her elder!"
Chen Baoqin was naturally dissatisfied with Wen Yue's attitude, but she was in high spirits when good things happened. Now she could tolerate Wen Yue's rudeness because Wen Yue helped her get rid of a big threat.
Zhou Baoyi had always been favored by Wen Rongsheng because of her young beauty. After she came into the family, she became more and more domineering, and gradually even Chen Baoqin, a concubine who had a formal marriage with Wen Rongsheng, had to stay away from her.
What Chen Baoqin cares about is not Zhou Baoyi's favor. From the day she met Wen Rongsheng, she knew that this man was unreliable and promiscuous. If there was no Zhou Baoyi, there would be Lin Baoyi and Wang Baoyi.
She is not as stupid as Peng Lifen, who would expect a man's loyalty.
If Wen Rongsheng was really such a person, she would not have been able to enter the Wen family from the beginning.
What she cares about is Wen Jialiang. Before this child was born, her son Wen Jiadong was the only heir of the Wen family, but everything changed with him.
It is said that "the old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man", and Wen Jialiang is Wen Rongsheng's old son.
Moreover, before Wen Jialiang was born, Wen Rongsheng had not gotten anyone pregnant for more than ten years. This child was not only his late-born child, but also a proof of his bravery. He treated this child differently from the beginning.
If Wen Rongsheng died within ten years, it would be fine, but if he lived until Wen Jialiang graduated from university, it was uncertain who would take over the Wen family in the future.
So after reading today's "Dongjiang Entertainment News", Chen Baoqin was greatly relieved.
When she learned that Zhou Baoyi and her lover took Wen Jialiang away, but were intercepted and taken away by Wen Rongsheng at the dock, Chen Baoqin couldn't help laughing.
She knew that the mother and son of the fourth room were completely finished!
Before Wen Yue came back, Chen Baoqin already knew that the Dongjiang Entertainment News was published by the newspaper company under Wen Yue's name, so she naturally liked her a little more. At this moment, she said with a warm face: "We are all family, there is no need to be so particular."
"Mom!" Wen Jiaqi pouted, "Why do you always talk to her! It's because you are so easy to talk to that she behaves like a younger generation!"
Chen Baoqin said softly: "Your daddy always says that a harmonious family is the only way to success. I don't have any other ideas, I just hope that the family can be harmonious. You are the older sister, you should give in to your younger sister."
Hearing the mother and daughter singing the same tune, Wen Yue couldn't help but laughed.
Wen Jiaqi was already upset because of Chen Baoqin's preaching. When she heard the laughter, she turned around abruptly, glared at Wen Yue and asked, "What are you laughing at? Is my mom wrong?"
"Of course not."
Wen Yue put down the remote control, looked directly into Wen Jiaqi's eyes and said, "First of all, we are not a family; secondly, the saying 'a harmonious family brings prosperity' is just for fooling children. It's useless to use it to fool adults. Tsk!"
Although Wen Jiaqi agreed with Wen Yue's words, she knew that such words should not be said lightly even though she was brainless. As she was hesitating, she heard her mother say in surprise: "Ayue, how can you think like that? We were a family at that time!"
"Really?" Wen Yue laughed without any sincerity, "But I didn't regard you as a family."
Seeing that Wen Yue was so disrespectful, Chen Baoqin could no longer keep a smile on her face, and she also felt a little angry in her heart.
Wen Jiaqi was superficial and didn't know why Wen Yue came back, but Chen Baoqin quickly figured out the connection and guessed that Wen Yue might have been called back by Wen Rongsheng to be scolded.
When she first saw Wen Yue, Chen Baoqin thought about whether she should say a few good words for Wen Yue after Wen Rongsheng came back.
It's not that she suddenly showed kindness, but she knew that Wen Rongsheng had always felt guilty about the only daughter left by the eldest wife. His anger now was only temporary. If he really scolded her, he might regret it in the future.
She stepped in to mediate the conflict between father and daughter. She could show her elder attitude and make Wen Rongsheng think of her kindness when he regretted it. Why not?
But she didn't expect that Wen Yue would be so disrespectful to her.
Chen Baoqin thought about it and said with a different face: "Ayue, although you don't regard me as your elder, the fact is that your father and I had a formal wedding. You can keep talking about some things, but as an elder, I can't help but say them." At this
point, Chen Baoqin paused, sighed, and pretended to be helpless: "What you did today was very inappropriate. I know Baoyi has offended you, but family shame should not be made public. No matter what, you shouldn't directly expose her cheating for revenge. If it is exposed, you will feel happy for a while, but your dad will lose face. "
Judging from the literal meaning, Chen Baoqin's words are sincere and heartfelt, but Wen Yue doesn't buy it. She looked at her with a half-smile and said, "I can't act like an elder in front of me."
Chen Baoqin's face froze, and Wen Jiaqi was so angry that her face turned red: "My dad and mom got married according to the "Great Qing Law", and their marriage is protected by the current law. As a junior, you are unfilial to say this!"
"You are talking to me about the Qing Dynasty Code?" Wen Yue asked back, "Then do you know that a hundred years ago, concubines were not considered mistresses? In front of her, you can't call her mommy, you can only call her aunt! When my mom was alive, your mom had to set rules in front of her. After my mom died, she had to kneel and kowtow in front of my mom's grave!"
Wen Yue said with contempt: "As a legitimate daughter, I give her two faces because she is an elder. If I don't give her face, she will be a servant! If you want to accuse me of being unfilial, let daddy make your mom the legitimate wife first. After she becomes the second wife, it's fine for her to act like a big shot in front of me, but a concubine is a joke!"
Peng Lifen has been dead for almost ten years. If Wen Rongsheng wanted to make Chen Baoqin the legitimate wife, he would have done so long ago. Chen Baoqin is still a concubine until now, which can only mean that Wen Rongsheng is unwilling to let her be the principal wife.
As time went by, this incident became an unspeakable pain in the hearts of Chen Baoqin, and even the mother and son of the second wife.
Every word of Wen Yue's words hit the heart of the mother and daughter. Chen Baoqin was so angry that she covered her chest, and Wen Jiaqi was more direct and rushed up to beat Wen Yue.
But Wen Yue reacted quickly. Seeing Wen Jiaqi rushing up, she quickly got up from the sofa, took two steps back to avoid the attack, and stabilized her body. Then, without hesitation, she raised her hand and slapped him.
"Pah!"
The moment the slap sounded, Wen Jiaqi was stunned, and she was half a beat late to cover her face. After the pain came, she slowly turned her head, stared at Wen Yue with red eyes, and asked in disbelief: "You dare to hit me!"
Wen Yue thought it was ridiculous. It was Wen Jiaqi who started it first, why did she show this expression after being slapped back by her? It can't be that he thinks that she can only be beaten and can't fight back?
"What's wrong with me hitting you? According to the "Great Qing Law", you are just a concubine's daughter, you are not even worthy of carrying shoes for me, a legitimate daughter. Not to mention hitting you, I can even sell you by lifting your feet!"
The system couldn't stand it anymore: [Host, in the Great Qing Law, children follow their fathers, and there is not much difference between legitimate sons and daughters and illegitimate sons and daughters. Moreover, even if you are a legitimate daughter, it is illegal to sell a illegitimate daughter~] You must have been fooled by the God of Legitimate and illegitimate!
Of course, as a smart system, it tactfully chose to swallow the last half of the sentence and did not say it out loud.
Wen Yue's answer was very rational and strong: [I know, but there is a saying in our country that "whatever is used by me is right". I don't care if it is true or not, as long as it can make me win the argument, it is right! You can lose anything but not your momentum, understand?]
System: [...Okay, but I checked and I think your country doesn't have this saying. Wen Yue did not answer the
system, because during their communication, Wen Jiaqi finally changed her mind: "The Qing Dynasty fell a long time ago, and we are equal now!"
"You also know that the Qing Dynasty fell? Then what did you talk about with me just now, the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty"?" Wen Yue retorted, "Don't bring up the Qing Dynasty Law just because it benefits you, and then you say that the Qing Dynasty fell when you can't do anything?"
Wen Jiaqi was furious: "You! You! You!"
"What are you talking about? If you can't explain yourself, just shut up! Why are you glaring at me? You want to hit me again, right?"
Wen Jiaqi, who couldn't win over Wen Yue, got angry and raised her hand to rush towards her again: "I
'll fight you!" But this time Wen Yue didn't fight back. Instead, she turned around and ran to the door, hugged Wen Rongsheng's arm who had just got out of the car and complained: "Daddy, look! As soon as I came back, my elder sister wanted to beat me!"
Wen Jiaqi, who ran out with the slap mark on her face, said: "!!!!"
