Qiao Wanwan turned her head and saw Wen Lixuan talking to his bodyguard.
"Lixuan?"
Wen Lixuan followed the sound and exclaimed in surprise, "Qiaoqiao, what are you doing here?"
"I've come to take care of something." Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, my cousin and nephew are here. They said something happened and they told me to come over right away."
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "Isn't your nephew named Dongdong?"
How did you know?
Qiao Wanwan sighed and said, "I was wondering why that person looked so familiar. It turns out she's your cousin. I remember now, it was when you showed me a picture of your family before, and I glanced at it."
Wen Lixuan asked curiously, "What, is what happened to my cousin related to you?"
"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan shook her head helplessly. "Let him tell you."
The bodyguard told Wen Lixuan everything.
Upon hearing this, Wen Lixuan's expression changed drastically. "I think she's really gone mad!"
"Don't be angry yet. Go see her first. Don't be prejudiced. See what version she has to say."
Upon seeing Wen Lixuan in the hospital room, Wen Lixuan burst into tears, pleading, "Lixuan, you've finally come! You have to stand up for me..."
Wen Lixuan pulled up a chair and sat down beside the hospital bed. "What happened? Tell me."
"You have no idea how arrogant and domineering the Zhan family is; they actually beat me up like this!"
"You know perfectly well that the Zhan family is powerful and influential, yet you still dare to offend them?" Wen Lixuan said unhappily. "You saw it yourself, even their bodyguards are incredibly arrogant. They dared to kick and injure you without even asking questions. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because killing you would be easier for the Zhan family than crushing an ant; they don't even consider someone like you a threat."
"..." The woman was both angry and aggrieved. "That's why I asked you to help me solve this!"
Wen Lixuan looked at her and said, "You still haven't told me why they injured you like this."
The woman pursed her lips tightly, and after a moment she spoke, "There was a small misunderstanding between us, but I never expected them to resort to violence. Is there no justice in this world?"
"You still know about justice and believe in justice?" Wen Lixuan's face turned cold as he reprimanded, "If you had any conscience at all, you shouldn't have harmed innocent children!"
The woman's face paled. "You knew all along..."
"I'm not stupid. I'll find out and investigate things myself before I come to see you." Wen Lixuan's expression grew increasingly grim. "Besides, this matter has already spread like wildfire. Even the nurses outside are discussing it. Anyone who isn't blind or deaf can hear about it!"
"You've done such a disgraceful thing, and you still have the nerve to call me here? Do you really think I'd side with you and help you deal with this mess? How could the Wen family produce such a vicious person like you!"
"How dare you mention the Wen family to me?" the woman cried out. "If it weren't for the Wen family, would I have fallen to this state today!"
"What did the Wen family do to you that you're blaming them?"
"What do you think!" the woman accused. "If the Wen family hadn't been suppressed like this by the Zhan family, would I have been disliked by my in-laws and kicked out of the house? Now that I'm divorced, I can only get the bare minimum alimony every month. I can't even afford a handbag, let alone hire a nanny. I have to raise my child myself. What sins have I committed to deserve to be buried with the Wen family!"
Wen Lixuan was speechless.
When Zhan Jingting suppressed the Wen family, he also suppressed their collateral branches, relatives, and even business partners, so it's not surprising that something like this happened.
Wen Lixuan's attitude softened a bit, and he said, "You are surnamed Wen, and you enjoyed the wealth and honor brought by the Wen family from birth. Of course, you should also bear the burdens that a member of the Wen family should bear. It's impossible for you to enjoy the good fortune while running away from the misfortune, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me, it's too late to say anything now!" The woman cried, "In short, I'm just a stray dog kicked out of a wealthy family now, I have nothing left, and I'm being bullied and trampled on at will, all because of your brother!"
"If your brother hadn't offended the Zhan family, I would still be a wealthy young mistress, enjoying a life of luxury! Now that your brother is dead, you have to take responsibility for me!"
Wen Lixuan raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "How can I take responsibility? I can't possibly support you, can I?"
"I don't care, you have to let me live the comfortable life I used to have, or I'll never forgive you!"
Wen Lixuan: "......"
"Alright, I can see that now. You're out of your mind and starting to talk nonsense. I'll arrange for a psychologist to talk to you."
"You're the one who's sick! Your whole family is sick! If you weren't sick, why would you go looking for death and offend Zhan Jingting!"
"That's enough!" Wen Lixuan roared, standing up abruptly, his handsome face ashen. "You can cause as much trouble as you want, but if you dare to drag my brother into this and slander him, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The woman trembled with fright and dared not utter another sound, only gritting her teeth inwardly.
Wen Lixuan said coldly, "I know Qiao Wanwan, and I can put in a good word for you to get her to let you off the hook. But you poisoned the children, and you can't escape the responsibility and consequences you have to bear!"
After Wen Lixuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
He heard a woman's broken cries behind him, but he ignored them.
Wen Lixuan called Qiao Wanwan and arranged to meet at a coffee shop outside the hospital.
"I didn't expect there to be such a quiet and peaceful coffee shop here, and the coffee tastes pretty good too," Qiao Wanwan praised with a smile.
Wen Lixuan stirred his coffee. "Yes, there are still many places in this world that we don't know about, many people we can't see, and many things that happen that we can't see."
"Just say what you want to say," Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. "Are you trying to plead for your cousin?"
Wen Lixuan remained noncommittal and slowly explained, "She is a person who is both hateful and pitiful. In her early years, she married a rich second-generation heir in the capital through a business marriage. After marriage, she had a son. To outsiders, she seemed to have a glamorous life, but in fact, her husband had kept countless women on the side."
“She also made a scene, and each time it was quite a big commotion, but it was no use. They said if she didn’t want to live together anymore, she could get a divorce. She thought about it and thought that a divorce would only benefit those mistresses. She felt that it was unfair, so she endured it, thinking that as long as she was the legal wife, at least she could enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury.”
"Later, my brother offended Jing Ting, and in a fit of anger, Jing Ting dealt with everyone related to the Wen family, including her in-laws."
"Her husband already disliked her, and now he had a perfect excuse to divorce her. Moreover, she had affected the family business, so he considered her to be at fault and forced her to leave with nothing."
“That man had a child with another woman, but he didn’t even want his son. He just dumped him on her and only paid the minimum child support every month. Her quality of life plummeted. It’s like she fell from heaven to hell.”
"Her anger had nowhere to go, and she happened to see you this time. How could she not target you? After all, in her heart, the Zhan family is the culprit who caused her to become like this..."
