Chapter 143 "Don't you think Wen Zhou's behavior is a bit excessive?"
Bai Wei: "Wen Lu, I suspect that the rumors circulating in Yan Zhao's WeChat Moments are related to the Wen family's illegitimate daughter."
"This matter cannot be left like this!"
Wen Xi said calmly, "You're right."
"Wen Lu, what are you planning to do?"
Wenxi: "Which hospital is she in now?"
Bai Wei immediately understood that Attorney Wen was going to see the Wen family's illegitimate daughter.
"I'll ask Lu Zhi, and then I'll send it to you."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Less than five minutes after hanging up the phone, Wenxi received the address and ward number from Bai Wei.
Wenxi changed her clothes and drove away from Mansion No. 3.
Upon arriving at the Central Hospital, Wenxi encountered Yan Zhao at the entrance.
Yan Zhao was carrying a thermos in her hand, and she greeted Wen Xi when she saw her.
Seeing that Wenxi was empty-handed, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you come to see Axu?"
Wenxi: "No."
Yan Zhao: "..."
Wenxi: "Yan Xu is in the hospital?"
"Mom...didn't your mom tell you?"
“Yan Xu said he only recognizes you as his sister, and we all respect his decision.”
Yan Zhao subconsciously explained for Yan Xu, "He's just being stubborn..."
Yan Zhao had barely uttered a sentence when she met Wen Xi's cold gaze and immediately lost the desire to speak.
Her expression was exactly the same as Lu Jinghuai's when he was impatient.
During this time, Yan Zhao did make some progress.
At least they know how to read people's expressions now.
Yan Zhao said in a low voice, "He must have offended someone recently. He went out to a party last night and got beaten up on his way back."
Yan Xu had actually claimed that Wen Xi was responsible, but he had no evidence.
Yan Zhao didn't believe it.
Wen Xi's gaze remained calm, as she had expected this. "Is he alright?"
Mentioning this made Yan Zhao even more depressed: "It's just a flesh wound, nothing serious."
"That's good."
It seems his brother was quite prudent in his actions.
Wenxi spoke a few more words to Yan Zhao than usual: "Do you know who I came here to see?"
Yan Zhao asked instinctively, "Who are you looking at?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of someone.
Wen Xi's gaze remained calm: "Wen Chao."
Seeing Yan Zhao suddenly fall silent, Wen Xi asked curiously, "Don't you hate this name?"
To be honest, when Wen Chao was still called Wen Xi, Wen Xi disliked her name even more than the person herself.
It's like having a cunning, ever-present scholar by her side, constantly trying to replace her.
Now that she's no longer the daughter of the Wen family, this shrewd learner has started imitating Yan Zhao.
Yan Zhao said dejectedly, "It's alright."
Fearing Wenxi wouldn't believe her, she added, "As an illegitimate child, she's been like a rat that can't see the light of day since she was little. She must have been talked about a lot because of her identity."
"She chose this name partly to disgust me, and partly to become the legitimate daughter of the Wen family."
When Yan Zhao mentioned Wen Chao, her eyes were filled with pity: "I don't hate her, I just pity her."
The pity in Yan Zhao's eyes was the pity of a legitimate daughter who naturally occupies a superior position, looking down at an illegitimate daughter who is in a subordinate position.
Wenxi's eyes were instantly filled with complex emotions.
After a long pause, she finally spoke: "It's a good thing that you weren't influenced by her."
Wenxi also realized this.
Her dislike for Wen Chao ultimately stemmed from her living environment.
Yan Zhao had never experienced having her father's love stolen, her interests seized, or being deliberately imitated by an illegitimate daughter, so naturally she wouldn't have a deep aversion to Wen Chao.
Because of her simple living environment, she was even able to show compassion and understand Wen Chao's situation from her perspective.
After reflecting on it, Wenxi decided to find some time to talk to Shen Nanhe.
She needs to adjust her mindset.
Yan Zhao had something to say, and her expression was somewhat conflicted.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know that Wen Chao was forced to kneel in the snow for two hours as punishment?"
"I just found out."
He was just about to confront Wen Chao.
Yan Zhao mustered her courage and asked, "Don't you think Wen Zhou's behavior is a bit excessive?"
Wenxi: "?"
For a moment, Wenxi almost thought she was hallucinating.
She stared at Yan Zhao's slightly guilty and dissatisfied expression before realizing that she hadn't misheard.
Yan Zhao: "Winter in the capital is so cold, and the snow outside is so thick. Kneeling for two hours could kill someone!"
Wenxi understood.
Yan Zhao genuinely felt sorry for Wen Chao.
Wen Xi's eyes turned cold: "Do you know why she was punished?"
"I know." Yan Zhao's voice was a little softer: "But she only said a few words and didn't do anything. Wen Zhou punished her by making her kneel in the snow, which almost killed her. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Don't you law students always talk about proportionality between crime and punishment?"
The principle of proportionality between crime and punishment means that the punishment imposed on a criminal should be commensurate with the severity of the crime.
Wen Xi nodded slightly, her tone calm: "It seems you've made quite a bit of progress recently, and you even know that punishment should be proportional to crime."
Yan Zhao felt that Wen Xi was mocking her, but she stubbornly analyzed, "Isn't Wen Zhou's way of doing things a bit extreme?"
Wenxi's eyes instantly turned cold.
She couldn't stand anyone talking about her brother like that.
"Do you know how much impact her spreading rumors will have on me and my brother?"
"But we didn't tell anyone, did we?" Yan Zhao retorted, unconvinced. "Even murderers are divided into attempted and completed murderers!"
Yan Zhao watched as Wen Chao knelt in the snow for over an hour, shivering from the cold, and finally fainted.
She genuinely felt sorry for Wen Chao.
Wen Xi said calmly, "Then I'll say that your relationship with Yan Xu is ambiguous..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Yan Zhao cried out in disbelief, her face instantly turning bright red, whether from anger or shame, it was hard to tell.
Yan Zhao's eyes turned red with anger: "Wenxi, how could you have such filthy thoughts?!"
Wen Xi said calmly, "It seems that you don't know the pain until the knife is stuck in your own body."
Yan Zhao subconsciously said, "This is different..."
Wenxi was too lazy to argue with her, and simply asked in a calm voice, "Have you been in contact with any of your friends recently?"
The topic changed so quickly that Yan Zhao didn't have time to react.
Wenxi had already left after saying a few words.
"Let's keep in touch when we have time."
Watching Wen Xi's indifferent departing figure, Yan Zhao was completely baffled.
Why would Wenxi ask her to contact her friends if there's nothing wrong with that?
Yan Zhao's chest heaved violently; she was still angry at Wen Xi's words, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
Wenxi was slandered, so all she does is bully her and try to get revenge on her!
Her innocent sibling relationship with Ah Xu was tarnished by her slanderous accusations.
That's disgusting!
Yan Zhao was deeply troubled by those words, feeling as if she were holding her breath.
I finally ran to the bathroom and cried for a while before I could feel a little better.
After going upstairs, Wenxi went straight to Wenchao's ward.
Besides Wen Chao, there were two caregivers in the ward.
One person was responsible for peeling fruit for Wen Chao, while the other was responsible for handing him tissues and pouring him water.
Upon seeing Wenxi, Wenchao became noticeably nervous and wary.
What brings you here?
