When being questioned by Chen Ru, Deng Shangwei was so frightened that his leg hair stood upside down and saluted.
I’m really scared!
But Deng Shangwei still has basic responsibility. It was indeed his idea to Wen Ying to let Wen Ying keep it a secret from her parents temporarily. Now that the truth has been revealed, Deng Shangwei cannot let Wen Ying take the blame alone.
Just as Deng Shangwei was about to admit it, Wen Ying answered:
"My uncle only found out a while ago. Mom, don't blame him. If he had known about it earlier, how could he have dared to hide it from you?"
——Humph, I think he is quite courageous!
Chen Ru didn't quite believe Wen Ying's words, but now we must stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. If there is a problem with the contract between Wen Ying and the publishing house, they need to hire a lawyer to sue again. Deng Shangwei has lived in Chengdu for many years and has stronger connections than Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong. He can still help, which is considered meritorious service... Just based on this point, Deng Shangwei can be sentenced to life imprisonment!
Deng Shangwei used his own value to win the treatment of "suspended execution". He did not know how angry a mother would be when her child was bullied, and he would transform that anger into motivation to protect his child. He even chose to turn a blind eye when he knew that Wen Ying was not telling the truth.
At the critical moment, Wen Ying took the initiative to exonerate Deng Shangwei, which deeply moved Deng Shangwei.
It’s not in vain that I feel sorry for this girl!
Now I feel that buying 100 copies of "Teen Idol" is still too little. It's not like I don't have the financial resources. If I'm generous, I can buy 1,000 copies of "Teen Idol" without going bankrupt.
As for what to do with the 1,000 copies of "Teenage Idol" he bought, Boss Deng, who is still in a period of emotion, has not thought about this issue carefully.
If you can earn tens of millions, then it’s not difficult to arrange 1,000 copies of “Teen Idol”.
After threatening Deng Shangwei, Chen Ru's gaze seemed to fall on Wen Dongrong.
Lao Wen, who was driving, secretly groaned, and felt a little sour and envious.
Heixinmian is more like Deng Shangwei's caring little cotton-padded jacket. She is afraid that Deng Shangwei will be embarrassed, so she protects him at the first opportunity.
When it is the turn of the father to suffer, I wonder if the black-hearted cotton company will add insult to injury and retaliate?
It is so difficult to be a good head of the family, and it is too much to bear!
Chen Ru did not go home directly. She wanted to meet the people from the publishing house as soon as possible.
Chen Ru doesn't care whether the people from the publishing house have already left work. Those people would agree to let minors sign the contract themselves. Now that the parents have come to the door, the person in charge of the publishing house should come out and deal with this matter!
In front of Chen Ru, Wen Ying bit the bullet and called Zou Weijun:
"Aunt Zou, I want to apologize to you. I lied to you when I signed the publishing contract..."
Wen Ying explained the situation in a few words. Zou Weijun had just learned the latest situation from Xie Qian half an hour ago, so he was not too shocked after hearing Wen Ying's words.
In fact, Zou Weijun had already had doubts.
Wen Ying previously said that her parents agreed to let her negotiate and sign the contract alone, which could also be said to be because her parents wanted to train their child.
Later, "Aige" published a "termination statement". Zou Weijun decided to sue "Aige" and Han Qin. When the court hearing day came, Wen Ying's parents still did not show up once. Zou Weijun knew that Wen Ying did not tell the truth.
No matter how tolerant parents are, they would never allow their underage daughter to sue someone else!
Wen Ying lied.
Zou Weijun had some guesses, but did not put pressure on Wen Ying. Instead, he chose to bear the pressure himself.
Every family has its own problems. Wen Ying must have her own reasons for not wanting to reveal her pen name.
However, the truth will come out sooner or later, and the secret that Wen Ying has tried so hard to hide will eventually be exposed. When that day really comes, Zou Weijun does not blame Wen Ying, nor is he afraid that Wen Ying's parents will come to hold him accountable.
Zou Weijun treated Wen Ying as his niece privately, cared about her, took care of her, and fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder; publically, Zou Weijun appreciated Wen Ying's talent, valued her talent, and secured the most favorable publishing conditions for her.
If you do things with a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of Wen Ying's parents coming to hold you accountable?
Of course, she was indeed wrong in this matter, that is, she did not insist on signing the contract in the presence of Wen Ying's parents.
Zou Weijun's narrow-mindedness made Wen Ying ashamed.
"Aunt Zou, I deliberately lied to you, how is it your fault?"
"It was my negligence in my work."
Zou Weijun took the responsibility on himself and said that he had time to meet with Wen Ying's parents now. Whether Wen Ying's parents wanted to hold him accountable or sit down to discuss the lawsuit, Zou Weijun could cooperate.
Wen Ying raised her eyes to look at Chen Ru, who nodded solemnly: "Ask her to give us the address, and we'll go there."
Chen Ru heard everything that Wen Ying and Zou Weijun said in their conversation.
Wen Ying was trying to excuse Zou Weijun, but Chen Ru didn't completely believe it.
Wen Ying is actually very soft-hearted. If she can lie to protect Deng Shangwei, she will also lie to protect others.
It’s impossible to judge Zou Weijun’s character through just one phone call. How can Chen Ru feel at ease without meeting him in person?
The two parties agreed on a time and place to meet. On the way there, Chen Ru asked Wen Ying seriously, "Do you have anything else to add? Don't wait until I meet Editor Zou and find out that you haven't told the truth—"
Just say everything you need to say all at once. If you let it all out bit by bit, you will embarrass the female monster in front of outsiders!
Wen Ying hesitated. Of course, this wasn't the only thing she had hidden. Besides writing and publishing novels, she was also a screenwriter.
Oh, her parents knew about her screenwriting career, but they thought she used all the salary to buy a used car for her father. They didn't know that the salary was much higher than the selling price of a used Peugeot 500. They also didn't know that she used the salary from her screenwriting career to invest in "The Princess' New Clothes" and made more than one million yuan.
The bulk of the money had been promised to Xie Qian, so he had to be honest and disclose everything about the loan. A high school girl lent over a million to a male classmate. Wen Ying claimed she was doing it purely out of friendship, but Manager Chen and Old Wen might not believe her.
This matter had nothing to do with publishing the novel, nor with the lawsuit. Wen Ying was determined to continue to keep it secret. As the saying goes, "Confess and receive leniency, spend the rest of your life in prison, resist and receive severity, and go home for the New Year"... Wen Ying hesitated, and Chen Ru raised an eyebrow: "Are you really not done yet?"
Wen Ying laughed dryly: "It's nothing else, it's just that Aunt Zou, the editor who published my novel, is my classmate's mother. It was because of this relationship that she didn't doubt what I said."
classmate?
Is it Qin Jiao, Li Mengjiao or Wang Shuang?
If it were these three people, Wen Ying would definitely not hide it. A name suddenly popped up in Chen Ru's mind, and she intuitively felt that the classmate Wen Ying was referring to was "Xie Qian"!
That male classmate who is too good-looking.
The male classmate who made Chen Ru worry all day long that Wen Ying would fall in love too early.
My friend Wu Chunqin's words popped up again: You have to check the boy's character and whether he has good abilities... Bah, bah, bah, I almost got led astray by Wu Chunqin. What kind of character and ability? How can a teenage boy understand responsibility and accountability? Premature love will not bear sweet fruits!
Chen Ru didn't say anything else, and Wen Ying suddenly became uneasy.
——When her mother meets Aunt Zou, it won’t be a collision between Mars and the Earth, right?
