Chapter 159 I couldn't do something so shameless.
Who told Wen Changyu to want money too?
If Wen Changyu didn't want money, she would still think highly of him.
He wants money too, so he shouldn't blame her for looking down on him.
Wen Changyu didn't answer her question, but stared at her and said, "Qianqian also wants to marry Jinzhou, to...her brother?"
Although their family has now terminated their adoption relationship with Wen Qianqian, Wen Jinzhou is the brother Wen Qianqian has called for twenty years. If Wen Qianqian is willing to marry Wen Jinzhou...
Wen Changyu found it absurd.
But Xu Shanshan said, "Yes, Qianqian is willing."
Wen Changyu may be a bit love-struck, but he's not really a fool.
Upon hearing that Qianqian was willing, he understood everything. "Qianqian likes Jinzhou, you... know about that?" he asked, his face grim.
Xu Shanshan turned her face away, refusing to look at him.
But Wen Changyu already had the answer.
In an instant, he collapsed into the chair behind him, shaking his head and muttering, "Absurd, absurd, utterly absurd..."
"A brother she's called 'brother' for twenty years, she..."
"Was it because of her that Jinzhou traveled so far a few years ago?" Wen Changyu speculated.
Xu Shanshan remained silent.
Wen Changyu then guessed, "You knew too?"
Xu Shanshan got a little angry. "You just need to say whether you agree or disagree, whether you want half of the savings or not."
Wen Changyu rarely showed her a disappointed expression. He stood up from his chair and said, "I don't agree. I'm a rough man, but I can't do something as shameless as my own son marrying my adopted daughter."
"As for the savings, they should be divided equally, and that's how it should be divided."
After saying that, Wen Changyu knocked on the teacup on the table and left.
The tea dripped down the smooth tabletop, spreading to the corners, and then onto the floor with a "drip".
They arranged to meet at a teahouse.
Xu Shanshan no longer wanted to be subservient to Wen Changyu, so she stopped going to the Wen family to see him.
Unexpectedly, Wen Changyu became even more assertive after leaving the Wen family than he was while there.
Wen Changyu's tall figure left the private room, his anger blazing, and he left the teahouse by car.
All of Xu Shanshan's words stuck in her throat.
Wen Changyu said he wouldn't do something so shameless. These words were like a slap in the face to Xu Shanshan, making her thin face feel ashamed.
Then she thought Wen Changyu was a blockhead. They weren't born to the same parents, nor were they cousins, so why couldn't they get married?
In the past, it was common for cousins to fall in love and become related.
And I didn't see anyone disagreeing.
They really haven't seen much of the world.
However, he disagreed...
Xu Shanshan clenched her hands, her nails digging into her palms, wondering what to do.
Wen Changyu is now clearly determined to split the deposit equally.
After leaving the teahouse, Xu Shanshan first went to the credit union and withdrew five hundred yuan.
If she has to share this money with the Wen family, then she can take as much as she can.
After taking the money, she delivered it to Wang Jinghui. "Wen Changyu is now adamant about getting half the money," she said through gritted teeth. "I knew he wasn't a good person."
Wang Jinghui accepted the money and comforted her, "Don't be sad. This is only human nature. Everyone loves money. Let's just consider it... consider it a loss to avoid further trouble."
Xu Shanshan could only nod and say, "I'll bring you another five hundred tomorrow."
Wang Jinghui nodded, "Okay!"
"Take as much as you can, I'll keep it for you."
"Um!"
After Xu Shanshan returned home, Wen Qianqian immediately jumped up from the sofa and asked her, "Mom, how did it go? Did they agree?"
Xu Shanshan looked at the hopeful look in Wen Qianqian's eyes and shook her head, "Wen Changyu said you've been a daughter in the Wen family for twenty years..."
Wen Qianqian immediately interrupted excitedly, "But I'm not his biological son! Besides, he's already severed his adoption ties with me, hasn't he?"
After Wen Qianqian finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Does he also look down on me?"
Xu Shanshan shook her head. "He just can't accept you siblings getting married. He's... as old-fashioned as ever, and doesn't know how to be funny."
Wen Qianqian sat back on the sofa with a dissatisfied look on her face. "Hmph, if you don't like me, you don't like me. Sooner or later..." As she spoke, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and no one knew what she was secretly planning.
To appease her, Xu Shanshan quickly asked, "What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."
"Whatever, I have no appetite," Wen Qianqian slumped back onto the sofa.
At the Wen family home, in the evening, Wen Changyu, unusually, called Wen Jinzhou to his study. He told Wen Jinzhou, "Your mother came to see me during the day."
Wen Jinzhou asked curiously, "Mom is looking for you?"
"Yes, she talked to me... about you."
"Me?" Wen Jinzhou's eyelashes trembled. "Mom, she..."
"You and Qianqian..."
Just as Wen Changyu was about to finish speaking, Wen Jinzhou immediately interrupted, "I have absolutely no relation to Wen Qianqian. I've always treated her like my own sister."
Wen Changyu quickly gestured for him to calm down, "Dad knows, Dad used the wrong words. Dad wanted to ask you, when did you discover that Qianqian had... inappropriate feelings for you?"
"Was it discovered before leaving the capital?" Wen Changyu asked again.
Wen Jinzhou nodded.
"Have you rarely come home these past few years just to avoid her?"
Wen Jinzhou nodded again.
Wen Changyu looked at his son with some heartache, "Why didn't you tell your father about this?"
Wen Jinzhou rubbed his hands together. "...I don't know, I don't know how to say it."
Then he asked, "Did Mom tell you about this? What did she say?"
“She said she could give me half of her savings, but you have to marry Qianqian,” Wen Changyu didn’t hide it from him.
Wen Changyu felt that there was no point in hiding anything now.
The last glimmer of hope in Wen Jinzhou's eyes vanished, and he silently lowered his head.
His mother... seems to really not love him at all.
So that's how it is... so that he's not important to his mother at all, that even his marriage can be traded.
"What did you say, Dad?" He remained silent for a while before asking in a dry voice.
"What else can I say? If you had told me about this earlier, I would have definitely given Qianqian a good scolding. After all, she was the daughter of the Wen family for twenty years, and you were her brother for twenty years. How could she have such thoughts about you? She's just gone astray. What else is there to say?"
"I definitely can't agree to this. If you dare to agree, I'll break your legs."
After Wen Changyu finished speaking harshly, Wen Jinzhou smiled with relief, "Then you really should break my legs, so I won't run out and embarrass you."
Wen Changyu glanced at him and chuckled, "You brat."
Finally, he added, "Find a way to come back. Also, there's Zhizhi's family. Have them come to Beijing with you then."
He's old now, all he wants is for his children to be by his side, he doesn't want anything else, he doesn't want to think about it anymore.
"Zhou Lin?"
Will he agree?
"Why can't we agree? Do you want Zhizhi to suffer with him over there?"
"He'll agree if he thinks about Zhizhi's sake."
——
When Zhizhi woke up that morning, she saw snowflakes falling outside the window.
As she peered out the window at the snowflakes, she was surprised to realize that she had been in Beijing for over a month, and it was already the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.
The first snow of the season has arrived in Beijing.
Zhizhi dressed neatly and ran downstairs.
Seeing this, Wen Jinshu couldn't help but remind him, "Run slowly and watch your step."
Then he added, "Zhizhi, take a day off today and don't go out."
