Chapter 29 The Culprit Who Bullied Yan Zhao
Seeing that his older brother didn't react, Shang Ze quickly said, "It seems that Yan Xu beat up Lu Jinghuai!"
Shang Chen: "What does this have to do with you?"
Shang Ze: "Of course!"
Shang Chen: "?"
"I heard that your sister-in-law's older brother dotes on her. If he goes back to China and finds out that your sister-in-law has suddenly remarried, will he beat you up too?"
A cold glint appeared in Shang Chen's calm, unwavering eyes.
Shang Ze's voice trailed off: "I'm worried about you..."
Shang Chen picked up the phone and called in Assistant Wu via the internal line.
Assistant Wu: "Mr. Shang, is there anything you need?"
"Make arrangements so that Shang Ze can come to the secretariat for an internship at the end of the month."
Shang Ze immediately jumped up from the sofa, "Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
"Actually, I wanted to say something else!"
Seeing that Shang Chen remained unmoved, Shang Ze completely backed down: "When my sister-in-law took me out today, we saw Yan Xu. Yan Xu kept avoiding us. The police noticed and asked my sister-in-law if she knew him."
"My sister-in-law only replied with three words, 'I don't know her.'"
Shang Chen frowned slightly, his aura somewhat subdued.
Shang Ze: "I didn't leave because I wanted to tell you about this, brother. It seems that my sister-in-law's relationship with the Yan family isn't very good."
"Brother, that brat Yan Xu has always been arrogant and lawless. Could it be that he bullied your wife before?"
Shang Chen said quietly, "What, you want to fight Yan Xu and seek justice for your sister-in-law?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare!" Shang Ze had a strong survival instinct: "Brother, your sister-in-law is your wife, you definitely have to protect her!"
If anyone's going to fight, it should be his brother!
“Yan Xu caused a scene at the police station today, so the Yan family is definitely going to be in trouble. They might even call your sister-in-law over... Do you want to go and protect her?”
Despite his sharp tongue, Shang Ze still greatly admires and respects his sister-in-law, Wen Xi.
He got into a fight and ended up in the police station today. His brother didn't send him back to the countryside to farm, and his sister-in-law definitely deserves some credit for that!
Shang Chen: "I know what's going on with your sister-in-law."
Seeing that Shang Ze was trying to sneak away, Shang Chen added, "You can't tell anyone about this, understand?!"
It's never a good thing if word gets out that Wenxi doesn't acknowledge her younger brother.
If someone with ulterior motives overhears this, they might embellish it and say something completely different.
Her situation in the Yan family was already precarious.
Shang Ze nodded obediently.
After Shang Ze left, Shang Chen called over Assistant Wu: "What are the upcoming schedule arrangements?"
"Chairman Fang of Feichi Motors has invited you to meet."
"You said I had something come up and we would reschedule the meeting for tomorrow."
"yes!"
Shang Chen assigned the work tasks and then left work early.
He glanced at the time; it was 5:30.
Wenxi has a lot of freedom at the law firm and usually leaves work at five o'clock.
If she were to go to the Yan family at this time, she would probably be there soon.
Shang Chen sent a message to Wen Xi.
Where are you?
On the other side, Yan Zhao led Yan Xu out of the police station, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Jinghuai standing at the car door.
The man stood tall and straight, exuding an air of nobility and refinement. The injury on his face did not diminish his charm in the slightest; it was just that his attitude was exceptionally indifferent.
Yan Zhao: "Jinghuai..."
"You two siblings can talk first."
Lu Jinghuai didn't even turn his head; he opened the car door and got in first.
Yan Xu said with dissatisfaction, "Sis, what kind of attitude is that?"
Yan Zhao said weakly, "Ah Xu, what exactly do you want to do?!"
"How Jinghuai treats me is a matter between my husband and me. Can you please stop interfering?!"
Yan Xu exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, I was worried about you... If he hadn't bullied you, why would you be hiding at home crying?!"
Yan Zhao, unable to bear it any longer, said, "I've already said it's not Jinghuai, why can't you listen to me!"
Knowing that Yan Zhao and Lu Jinghuai had moved out of their original marital home, Yan Xu made a special trip to visit them.
He planned to surprise Yan Zhao without informing her beforehand, but when he arrived, he found Yan Zhao crying alone.
Yan Xu thought that Lu Jinghuai had wronged Yan Zhao again, so he turned around and went to find Lu Jinghuai to settle the score.
Yan Zhao chased after him but couldn't stop him.
Yan Xu felt a little wronged after being yelled at by Yan Zhao.
"Then tell me, who bullied you?! If I really wronged Lu Jinghuai, I will honestly apologize and admit my mistake!"
Yan Zhao's lips trembled, unsure how to speak.
Yan Xu pressed on, "Sis, who bullied you?!"
Under Yan Xu's persistent questioning, Yan Zhao had no choice but to admit, "It was Wen Xi."
Yan Xu was taken aback, suddenly remembering what had just happened at the police station.
Wenxi's indifferent gaze was more unfamiliar than that of a stranger.
The police asked Wenxi if she knew him.
Wenxi replied with a distant and indifferent "I don't know you."
Yan Xu didn't care whether Wen Xi acknowledged him as her younger brother or not, but the fact that those three words came out of Wen Xi's mouth was still very unpleasant to hear.
The two siblings fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Yan Xu was unusually calm: "What's the matter?"
Yan Xu clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, saying, "She deliberately caused you trouble?"
Yan Zhao turned her head away, looking unhappy, and said, "It's just a small matter, don't ask about it."
Yan Xu pressed for answers for a long time, but Yan Zhao remained silent.
The two siblings parted on bad terms.
When Shang Chen sent a message to Wen Xi, she had already arrived at the Yan family's residence.
On the way, Zhou Ruo called her: "Since we're family, we can't hide things from you about what's happening in the family."
"Yan Xu beat up Lu Jinghuai and was taken to the police station. Your dad is scolding him."
Wenxi, who wasn't usually very curious, surprisingly asked, "Why did he hit Lu Jinghuai?"
Zhou Ruo: "He wouldn't say, but your dad was furious about it."
"Even if he didn't say it, I could guess that he acted foolishly, probably because of Yan Zhao."
Wenxi thought for a moment: "Should I go back?"
"No need!" Zhou Ruo refused instinctively, then immediately added, "If it's about dealing with this kid, Xixi, you don't need to worry about it; that's your parents' responsibility. But if you're coming home, Mom has always wanted you to come back, even just for a meal."
Wenxi vaguely guessed why Yan Xu had attacked Lu Jinghuai.
She agreed, "I'll go back to the Yan family."
"Okay!"
Zhou Ruo's tone instantly turned to joy.
As soon as Wenxi arrived at the Yan family home, she saw Yan Huai'an scolding Yan Xu.
"You idiot, what business is it of yours what happens between a married couple? Why are you meddling in their affairs?!"
Yan Xu pursed his lips and retorted, "That's my sister, of course it's related to me!"
Yan Huai'an's words were sharp: "That's your sister who isn't related to you by blood. Whether she's willing to acknowledge you is another matter!"
"Of course my sister acknowledges me!"
"Is that so?" Yan Huai'an sneered, "Then when you hit Lu Jinghuai, did she protect you or Lu Jinghuai?"
"Why did you come back alone? Where's your sister? Why didn't she bring you back or ask how badly you were hurt?"
Yan Huai'an, as expected of a seasoned veteran in the business world, asked a few insightful questions that left Yan Xu speechless.
Every question he posed felt like a slap in the face to Yan Xu.
Yan Huai'an scoffed, "Your 'sister' is probably too busy coaxing Lu Jinghuai to pay any attention to you, right?"
Yan Xugang had just been scolded like a grandson when he caught a glimpse of Wen Xi out of the corner of his eye.
The image of Wen Xi coldly saying "I don't know you" flashed through his mind again, and his face burned with pain.
"Dad!" Yan Xu, who was thin-skinned, could no longer bear it and suddenly shouted, "I hit Lu Jinghuai because I saw my sister crying secretly and thought Lu Jinghuai had bullied her."
"But don't you want to know who the real culprit is who bullied my sister?!"
He suddenly looked at Wenxi.
