So when facing the second-instance verdict of Zhuo Jinxin, Zhuo Chen was actually more numb than Zhuo Yue.
Zhuo Yue only saw that her mommy was dying, but Zhuo Chen saw more.
No one will help them anymore.
Without power or money, how can he and his sister turn their lives around?
Zhuo Yue's sharp voice hurt Zhuo Chen's eardrums, and he took the verdict from his sister.
"Before the execution, we can apply to meet with Mommy. Then we can say goodbye to Mommy properly."
There was nothing more the brother and sister could do except say goodbye.
Zhuo Chen looked around the duplex house he rented.
When Zhuo Chen switched from long-term hotel bookings to renting an apartment, it was originally to save money. At that time, he still had great ambitions. Now, thinking about the high monthly rent, Zhuo Chen is thinking that he and his sister should rent a smaller apartment.
Just two rooms would do, and they didn't need a driver anyway.
…
Wen Ying and Xie Qian were not too excited about Zhuo Jinxin's second-instance verdict.
Zhuo Jinxin's fate was already determined. It was this woman who was hoping for the best and thought the Tai family could save her, so she insisted on appealing.
Now that the Tai family is finished, Zhuo Jinxin naturally can no longer make any trouble.
Since the summer of 2004, Wen Ying has never felt as relaxed as she does now.
She is still very busy.
Temporarily not taking on scriptwriting and writing a new book doesn't mean she'll be completely free; she still has her studies and the "Dream Building Fund" to look after. But somehow, this busyness is completely different from before. Before, Wen Ying was always worried about Xie Qian getting into trouble, but now she doesn't have to worry about anything. She can finally devote herself to her relationship, instead of going on dates and worrying about whether her boyfriend might get into trouble!
The shackles that weighed on Wen Ying's heart were gone, and every day for her was very light and cheerful.
She often laughs for no apparent reason.
Her temper wasn't bad to begin with, but it's even better now.
No matter how trivial the matter is, Wen Ying will always be very patient, and even towards Lao Wen, Wen Ying becomes gentler.
Wen Dongrong was somewhat flattered and cautiously tested Wen Ying several times. Wen Ying didn't argue with him and even asked him if his pocket money was enough.
"Dad, if you don't have enough money, please tell me. Don't put your hands where you shouldn't, okay?"
Listen to the tone, it's really an earnest advice!
Wen Dongrong laughed, "What's the use of telling you? Will you give me money?"
"Sure, just tell me how much you want."
Wen Ying was very straightforward, but Wen Dongrong was frightened to the point of having his hair stand on end.
——This is too abnormal!
What disaster has Black Heart Cotton caused again and they expect him to take the blame?
Wen Dongrong was so upset that he couldn't figure out what kind of blame he had for Hei Xin Mian that made her so gentle to him.
Wen Dongrong didn't dare to discuss the matter with the tigress, so he blurred the matter with several layers of mosaics, making it so blurry that it couldn't be seen as a matter of the Wen family at all, so he asked Lao Li about it.
Unexpectedly, Old Li was not affected by the wrong question at all, and he got to the point directly: "Your daughter can't stay for two years. She wants to take care of you more before she gets married!"
"She's not my daughter. Didn't I tell you it's a friend's family matter? Never mind. I won't talk to you anymore. I need to call my friend back!"
After hanging up the phone with Lao Li, Wen Dongrong's heart was still pounding.
Could it be that Heixinmian really wants to marry Xie Qian?
So fast!
No, no, no, it's impossible. Xie Qian and Heixinmian are the same age, and they are not of legal marriage age until they graduate from college.
Wen Dongrong overturned Lao Li's guess and could not analyze the reason why Wen Ying was gentle to him. In the end, he told Chen Ru about it.
Chen Ru just felt that Wen Dongrong was mentally ill.
"Are you a cheapskate?"
Apart from being a bitch, Chen Ru couldn't understand what Wen Dongrong was crazy about.
When Wen Ying criticized him, he felt that he did not have the authority as a father and that his status in the family was being suppressed.
When Wen Ying showed kindness to him, he was not moved at first, but doubted Wen Ying's intention.
How could such a scoundrel deserve Wen Ying's kindness?!
Chen Ru said coldly: "No matter how much pocket money Xiaoying gives you, you have to hand over half to me."
"oh……"
Wen Dongrong looked pained, but he was actually ecstatic inside.
That's just right.
He felt uneasy deep down when the tigress didn't scold him or confiscate his money. This wasn't a cheapskate; it was the caution of a head of household. Wen Dongrong stood with his hands behind his back, his expression of pain transformed into indifference. "I'm too lazy to manage money these days. Besides the regular financial aid I give to needy students, there's nothing else I need to spend money on. I haven't received the pocket money your daughter promised me yet, but I can give you the royalties I've saved over the past six months."
There is no such thing as cash in a bank card or passbook. Wen Dongrong was shocked and took out a paper bag from his bag. This was something he had taken out from the bank in advance. It contained several thick stacks of banknotes.
Chen Ru was surprised. "You earned so much in royalties in just half a year?"
Wen Dongrong said calmly, "If I weren't so busy with work, I could earn more. This amount of money isn't much. My manuscript acceptance rate is very high now."
In order to earn royalties, Wen Dongrong has to understand the ins and outs of many news stories.
The more manuscripts he wrote, the clearer his ideas became.
In the past, he wouldn’t think much about similar news, but now when he reads social news, he will subconsciously analyze the hidden stories behind it.
Wen Dongrong used to be a veteran in the government and he was very good at writing speeches.
Wen Dongrong now has a better understanding of the lives of ordinary people.
He knows the average person's monthly income.
He knows the average person's monthly expenses.
He saw many things that he had not seen before.
Poor students, orphaned elderly people, laid-off workers, street vendors... every family in trouble has its own hardships.
Some people fall into poverty because of laziness, pornography, gambling and drugs. It is their own fault.
Some people fall into poverty regardless of their efforts; fate is often unfair and always brings hardship upon them. For the second type of people, a helping hand might save a family.
Wen Dongrong himself has not yet realized that he is becoming more and more empathetic and compassionate.
A person's changes in thinking will be reflected in his daily words and deeds. Wen Dongrong's current leader is particularly satisfied with him. Given Wen Dongrong's current age, it will not be convenient for him to be transferred with his leader in the future, so the leader helped him arrange a new place.
