Chapter 538: I'm not dead yet. Who are you showing these crying faces to?
After returning to the store to warm up the wine, she just sat there blankly, and no matter who spoke to her, she acted as if she didn't hear them and didn't answer.
He Rongrong felt sad watching this, so she sat beside her, held her head against her shoulder, held her hand, and accompanied her silently.
About half an hour passed.
Wen Jiucai whispered to He Rongrong, "Rongrong, let them close the shop! Make the custom-made clothes as usual if they need to be made, and refund the money if they don't want to make them. Let everyone go home and rest after the work is done. The wages will still be calculated as usual. The rest... I will talk about it after I finish these things."
Under the current circumstances, the store’s business will definitely be affected.
Might as well just shut it down.
To avoid being talked about.
He Rongrong nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I will get it done."
After learning from Wenjiu for so long, she can handle such a small matter.
"I'll leave the store matters to you. I'm going home for a while." Wen Jiu said as he got up and walked out with his bag.
She had to go back and ask what was going on.
When Wen Jiu arrived home, only Jiang Lan and Old Man Wen were there, oh no, and also her annoying second aunt Chu Zhuru.
As soon as she entered the room, she started to speak in a weird tone, "Hey, Jiu is back? Are you back because of your brother's murder?"
"Your brother really loves you in vain. He killed someone because of you, but you didn't come home to ask about the situation until several days later. Why don't you care about your brother?"
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
"You are such an ungrateful little bastard. How sad would your brother be if he knew about this?"
"Chu Ji killed someone?"
When Old Master Wen heard this, he was so shocked that the cup in his hand fell. He stood up in a daze, not even bothering to pick up his walking stick, and rushed to Chu Zhuru tremblingly.
"Who did he kill?"
"Explain yourself to me clearly!"
Wen Jiu saw Chu Zhuru's smug look, and fearing that she would add fuel to the fire, he quickly ran over to grab Old Man Wen and calm him down, "Grandpa, don't listen to my second aunt's nonsense. It's not true. Don't you know what kind of person my brother is?"
"How could he kill someone?"
As she spoke, she turned around and glared at Chu Zhuru, warning her with her eyes, "Second Aunt, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say anything you want!"
"My grandpa is not in good health. Will you be held responsible if you make him angry?"
Chu Zhuru wanted to say something, but seeing that Old Master Wen was out of breath, she could only shut up angrily.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
The fact that Wen Chuji murdered someone has not been determined yet. If she angered Old Man Wen to death, Wen Zhenhua would definitely not let her go.
What is she in such a hurry for?
It's a matter of time. When the Wen family is completely overthrown, she will have plenty of opportunities to watch the excitement. By then, she will have no reason to be proud of Chu Xiuli!
She looked at Wenjiu with a teasing look, as if she had already seen Wenjiu's miserable end, then snorted coldly and turned away.
When Master Wen saw Chu Zhuru leave, he grabbed Wen Jiu's arm and asked, "Jiu, don't lie to me. Tell me the truth. What on earth did your second aunt say just now?"
"Did something really happen to your brother?"
Wen Jiu knew that this matter could not be kept secret. Even if she didn't say it, others would tell it, and it would definitely reach the ears of the old man.
So it’s better for her to say it.
It doesn't matter how long we keep it a secret. Maybe by then things will be resolved smoothly and the crisis will be over, right?
She thought about it carefully and came up with a plausible and reasonable explanation. "Grandpa, wait a minute. I'll tell you later."
Wen Jiu ran to close the door, ran back and pulled the old man to sit down, and whispered to him mysteriously: "It's like this, Grandpa, I told you not to get excited, my brother is fine, it's me who got into trouble, but I'm fine too, but my brother and my dad are going to take advantage of me."
Old Master Wen urged anxiously, "Why don't you just tell me what you are planning? Are you trying to drive me crazy by hesitating?"
"Okay, okay."
"I say, I say."
Wen Jiu said slowly, "A few days ago, someone threatened my sister-in-law's baby in my store and asked her to take me to a ruined temple near her home. My sister-in-law told me about it, so I asked Uncle Zhang from the police station to help arrest the people. But those people refused to say who ordered them to do it. When my father and brother found out, they wanted to make a big move. We pretended that my brother had beaten the person to death and gave the evidence to everyone so that they could lure out the evildoers behind the scenes and deal with them."
"So that's how it is, hahaha..." Upon hearing what Wen Jiu said, Old Master Wen laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh. Realizing that he couldn't let others know, he quickly covered his mouth and said to Wen Jiu with a low laugh, "This method is risky, but it works. The people behind them must be so happy right now that they're going crazy and are discussing how to get rid of our whole family!"
"Whoever shows up now will be the one, and they will definitely not be wrongly accused."
Old Master Wen had confidence in his son's ability. He stopped breathing and calmed down. He took Wen Jiu's hand and said, "My Jiu has suffered. Let's wait until your father and brother find that man and punish him to avenge you."
Wen Jiu was relieved to see that he believed her, and then he said, "Grandpa, Aunt Jiang, remember not to let anyone see that it's fake, otherwise the fish might not be caught, and my dad and my brother's plan would be in vain."
She didn't believe Wen Chuji would be so impulsive.
There must be something else going on.
Now all she can do is to keep her old man stable and not cause any trouble for them.
Old Master Wen patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Grandpa knows what to do. It won't be difficult for Grandpa to coax them."
He easily deceived even the military officers.
What about these ignorant minions?
Jiang Lan also promised, "I won't tell you either."
She has been in the Wen family for so many years and has long regarded the Wen family as her own family. She will definitely not hold them back.
After comforting them, Wen Jiu went back to his room, saying that he was tired and wanted to rest. He collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling with his eyes blankly. His thoughts were very confused. The best outcome now was——
Things were just as she said, it was just a trick to lure the snake out of its hole.
Wen Zhenhua, Chu Xiuli and Wen Jinyan all came back in the evening, but they all looked worried and even looked cold and indifferent when they saw Wen Jiu coming back, which was completely different from usual, and Wen Jiu felt a little uneasy.
She was about to ask, but Old Master Wen slammed the table and said, "I'm not dead yet. Who are you showing your sad faces to?"
"Wen Zhenhua!"
"Get the hell in here!"
As he spoke, he stood up and went into the study.
Wen Zhenhua didn't know what kind of medicine Old Master Wen was selling, but he still got up and followed him obediently.
No matter how high a position you hold, you have to behave yourself in front of your parents when you get home.
"Mom—"
Wen Jiu turned to look at Chu Xiuli, "What on earth is going on?"
