Chapter 139 I Won't Apologize
Wen Jinzhou knocked on the door for quite a while, calling out every now and then, "Mom, it's me, Jinzhou."
There was no response from inside the house.
Although he knew there was probably no one inside, Wen Jinzhou still felt abandoned.
After knocking for quite a while, the neighbor finally came out and said, "The whole family went out. They just finished lunch and went out not long after. No one is home."
"Oh, thank you," Wen Jinzhou said, then stood at the door for a while before turning to leave.
At that moment, he didn't understand why his neighbor said "the whole family went out." But when he went out of the building and walked towards the courtyard, he met a family of three walking towards him, and Wen Jinzhou suddenly understood why his neighbor had said, "The whole family went out."
The whole family went out...
At that moment, Wen Jinzhou felt as if the sky above him had collapsed.
He was completely stunned.
By the time he came to his senses, Wang Jinghui had already been knocked to the ground and punched twice, leaving her cheekbones and eye sockets bruised.
Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian tried to pull him away, but they couldn't.
Xu Shanshan shouted urgently to let go, but he was deaf and couldn't hear her.
"Smack!"
In the end, a slap brought him back to his senses.
Wen Jinzhou still held Wang Jinghui by the collar with one hand, and clenched his other fist, but he didn't swing it down again.
He looked somewhat blankly in the direction of the palm.
Xu Shanshan stood there, glaring at him fiercely. "Stop right there!"
After saying that, she came up and shoved him hard.
He was quite tall, yet he was pushed to the ground like that.
Xu Shanshan quickly helped up Wang Jinghui, who had been pinned down by him, and tenderly touched Wang Jinghui's bruised and swollen face.
Just as they were about to meet, Wang Jinghui took a slight step back to avoid it, and then, feigning ignorance, questioned Wen Jinzhou, "Who are you?"
"Why did you rush up and start hitting people?"
Wen Qianqian also criticized Wen Jinzhou, "That's right, Second Brother, why did you start hitting people right away?"
Wang Jinghui then stared at Wen Jinzhou, who was sitting on the ground, and asked, "Are you Shanshan's son?"
He raised his hand and gently touched his swollen face, hissing, "I don't know you. It's not right for you to hit me like this right away, is it?"
"Apologize!" It was Xu Shanshan who said this.
Wen Jinzhou looked at her blankly again, as if he had never known her before.
She used to unconditionally protect Wen Qianqian. Wen Jinzhou could deceive her because Wen Qianqian was the younger sister and he was the older brother. Even if his mother might be biased, it was understandable for an older brother to give way to his younger sister.
But what about today?
What is this man in front of me?
And who is it?
His mother is so protective of the other party...
Wen Jinzhou just stared at her blankly, without even raising his voice to question her. Xu Shanshan, on the other hand, looked away somewhat embarrassed and emphasized in a fierce but weak voice, "You really are just like your father, rude and barbaric."
Wen Jinzhou's beautiful peach blossom eyes trembled, as if he couldn't believe his own mother was saying this about him.
Perhaps seeing that Wen Jinzhou was mute, Wang Jinghui touched Gao's swollen face and also made things difficult for Wen Jinzhou who was sitting on the ground, saying, "I don't know why you hit me right away, but I can only tell you that I am your mother's partner."
Xu Shanshan looked at him abruptly, probably not understanding why the term "partner" had suddenly come up.
But she soon understood, because Wang Jinghui said, "I don't care what you're thinking, but you hit me for no reason, and there has to be an explanation for this."
Wang Jinghui knew perfectly well why he had been beaten; it was simply because Wen Jinzhou had mistaken him for Xu Shanshan's lover.
As a man, witnessing his mother betray his father, he would naturally vent his anger on his mistress.
So Wang Jinghui took the initiative and immediately said that she was Xu Shanshan's partner.
Wen Jinzhou suspected that he had something going on with Xu Shanshan, but there was no substantial evidence.
But Wen Jinzhou really hit him.
He touched his face again. He had suffered such a loss in his life before. It was his bad luck to have the Wen family's son in his hands.
"Qianqian, go and call the security team for your uncle."
Wen Qianqian glanced at Wen Jinzhou sitting on the ground, seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded and left.
Whether out of pity for her son or shame, Xu Shanshan scolded Wen Jinzhou, who was still sitting on the ground, again, "Do you think you're right to hit someone?"
"Can't you even apologize?"
"Are you so arrogant because your dad can back you up?"
Wen Jinzhou's peach blossom eyes finally lost their confusion and instead showed hurt. He asked Xu Shanshan, "Mom, is he really your business partner?"
Wen Jinzhou is kind, not stupid. What kind of partner is he?
Where did this partner come from?
When asked in return, Xu Shanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "We're planning to open a jewelry store together. We just went out together to pay the rent."
"When did you two meet?" Wen Jinzhou asked again.
“My old friend,” Xu Shanshan said, her voice turning cold, “Wen Jinzhou, what are you trying to say by asking these questions?”
Xu Shanshan now felt she had a clear conscience. After all, over the years, her relationship with Wang Jinghui had always been based on affection and restraint, without ever crossing any lines. She believed she had a clear conscience.
She has done nothing to wrong Wen Changyu, nor has she wronged her son Wen Jinzhou, so it is not Wen Jinzhou's place to question her.
Faced with Xu Shanshan's cold and hard question, Wen Jinzhou opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He wasn't a bad person, and without solid evidence, he couldn't bring himself to slander his own mother.
But his inner judgment made him want to ask something.
He struggled like that until the security team came to take him away.
Xu Shanshan urged him to apologize.
Wen Jinzhou was unusually stubborn and didn't say a word.
Wang Jinghui touched the injury on her face and said to Xu Shanshan, "Shanshan, it's not that I want to argue with a child, but he's bullying me like this. I can let it go today, but what about later?"
"What if it were someone else?"
"Don't worry, I'm just teaching him a lesson."
Xu Shanshan nodded, seemingly unsure of what she was thinking. She and Wang Jinghui agreed on the same story, claiming that Wen Jinzhou had intentionally injured someone.
The security team handed the person over to the nearby police station, where the police officers were responsible for taking their statements. When asked if they knew each other, Xu Shanshan said somewhat awkwardly, "I am his mother!"
The police officer looked up at her for a moment, then lowered his eyes again. "So, what about you and this Mr. Wang?"
“He is my business partner, and we are going to open a jewelry store together.”
After briefly understanding the situation, the police officers went to exchange statements with the officer in charge of Wen Jinzhou.
Wen Jinzhou admitted that he hit Wang Jinghui, and also admitted that he committed the assault in a fit of emotion.
Because they knew each other, and the police officer didn't think Wang Jinghui's injuries were serious, they mediated the situation, saying, "Comrade Wen, would it be alright if you apologized and compensated for the medical expenses?"
Wen Jinzhou was unusually stubborn, "I won't apologize!"
Police officer: "??"
"I won't apologize, but I'll pay you money!"
Police officer "..."
