Chapter 140 Is he the reason you divorced my dad?
"Comrade Wang, it's like this, Comrade Wen misunderstood your relationship with his mother, so he got agitated and injured you. He's willing to compensate you, is that alright?"
Wang Jinghui touched her face, "One thousand!"
Police officer: "??"
"A thousand what?" the police officer asked, looking puzzled.
“A thousand yuan!” Wang Jinghui said matter-of-factly.
From what Xu Shanshan mentioned about the savings, he realized that the Wen family not only had power, but also some money.
What is a thousand dollars to the Wen family?
A drop in the ocean?
This thousand yuan may not be much to the Wen family, but it is an astronomical sum given current prices.
The police officer could only ask, "Excuse me, where does Comrade Wang work?"
“I…I’m at the material processing plant,” Wang Jinghui stammered.
How much is your monthly salary?
"My actual monthly salary is fifty-five, plus a night shift allowance, and I have perfect attendance..."
"If you include everything, seventy a month should be about right, right?" the police officer interrupted him.
Wang Jinghui opened her mouth, and finally nodded reluctantly.
"Given the current situation, it's already more than enough for Comrade Wen to compensate you with thirty yuan."
"He beat me up like this?" Wang Jinghui stood up excitedly, pointing to her face.
He said, then suddenly sat down, clutching his head, "My head hurts, I..."
Xu Shanshan rushed over, "Jinghui, are you alright?"
The police officer couldn't help but call her aside, "Ms. Xu, this is your friend. Why don't you talk to him? It's such a small thing, it's not worth making a fuss over. If it really doesn't work, you can leave here, take your child, buy some things, and personally go to apologize. That's better than wasting time here, don't you think?"
“He hit someone, so he should be taught a lesson,” Xu Shanshan said, her jaw clenched, still bearing the air of a commander’s wife.
The police officers didn't recognize her, and seeing her like this, they just thought she was mentally unstable.
So he stopped trying to persuade her and went to find Wen Jinzhou.
He told Wen Jinzhou about Wang Jinghui's exorbitant demands and asked Wen Jinzhou, "Where does your father work? Should we notify him to come over?"
"Let him try to persuade your mother, your mother..." The police officer shook his head, not wanting to say.
What Wen Jinzhou saw and heard today really hit a wall for him, and it hurt a bit.
So when the police mentioned Xu Shanshan, Wen Jinzhou's face immediately showed a hurt expression. He couldn't speak right away, but struggled painfully for a while before saying, "My dad is busy. I'll call my older brother and ask him to come over."
Call his dad? How can he call?
When his father arrived, it was the father and son who started the fight.
When the police officer heard that he had asked his older brother to come, he hesitated somewhat, after all, he himself was quite impulsive, and his older brother...
Sensing the other party's hesitation, Wen Jinzhou said, "My older brother works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
With just one sentence, the police officer made him make the call.
After listening to Wen Jinzhou's words, Wen Jinshu pushed up her glasses and said, "Okay, I'll be there soon, don't worry."
“Hmm,” Wen Jinzhou wasn’t worried, so he didn’t apologize.
Xu Shanshan was still urging the police, "What are you going to do about this?"
"You can't just ignore someone being beaten like this, can you?"
"Aunt Xu," Xu Shanshan was still holding onto the police officer when a young man on a motorcycle came in from outside.
As soon as the other person spoke, the police officer from the small police station recognized him. "Captain Jiang, what brings you here?"
And he looked at Xu Shanshan and asked, "Do you know her?"
Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, he's an old friend of my parents'."
"By the way, Aunt Xu, what are you doing here?"
"A-Shu called me and said that Xiao-Zhou got into a fight here," Jiang Yu thought for a moment, "Did Xiao-Zhou also call home?"
"Auntie, don't worry, it's just a fight, nothing serious. I'll go see what happened and make sure Xiaozhou gets home safely."
Police officer "..."
It seems like I've stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
Xu Shanshan stood there feeling uncomfortable. Her arrogance and aloofness were gone, replaced by the embarrassment of being caught doing something sordid.
Wen Changle and the others were right about her; Xu Shanshan was a woman who cared a lot about her reputation. She wasn't afraid of anyone from the Wen family coming today, because she looked down on everyone from the Wen family to the core, and she didn't think she was wrong, so she wasn't afraid of anyone from the Wen family coming.
She believed that everyone in the Wen family was in the wrong in front of her.
But now that outsiders have come, she no longer feels confident. It's not that she thinks she's wrong, but rather that she thinks the Wen family is hypocritical and has created such a good image that no one has seen their true colors. If others find out that she's getting close to Wang Jinghui, they'll definitely think it's her fault, that she's not a virtuous woman and is not content with her home. That's why she's flustered and embarrassed.
Xu Shanshan clenched her hands, which were hanging by her sides, her knuckles turning white. "He hit someone, and he still feels wronged?" she said angrily, her tone filled with indescribable rage!
Jiang Yu didn't know what had happened. She just thought that she was worried that Wen Jinzhou would go astray, so she quickly comforted her, "Auntie, it must be a misunderstanding. Xiaozhou is not that kind of person. He has always been the most well-behaved among us children. He has never liked to cause trouble since he was a child. Whenever my dad mentions him, he praises him highly. He wishes he could switch places with Xiaozhou."
Jiang Yu finished speaking with a smile, but then noticed that Xu Shanshan's expression hadn't improved; instead, her body was trembling, clearly indicating that she was angry.
Jiang Yu: Oh no, this matter seems to be more complicated than it appears.
Jiang Yu dared not talk to Xu Shanshan anymore. He waved to the police officer who greeted him, and the two went outside and whispered for a while. Jiang Yu would occasionally look up into the police station.
Xu Shanshan stood there for a while, and after Jiang Yu looked up again, she turned around and went to find Wen Jinzhou.
"You found Jiang Yulai?" She glared at Wen Jinzhou with resentment.
Wen Jinzhou frowned when he heard Jiang Yu's name. He had never called him that before; it was probably his brother who did. But... was that something to be angry about?
"I didn't," Wen Jinzhou told the truth.
Xu Shanshan immediately said, "You're just like your dad, a liar."
Wen Jinzhou "..."
He looked up at his mother as if he were seeing her for the first time. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.
It seems... there's no need to say it.
He didn't speak, so Xu Shanshan continued, "You hit someone, and you won't apologize or compensate them. Do you still expect to use the power of your Wen family to intimidate them?"
"Aren't you afraid someone will report your father?"
Wen Jinzhou, who had acted impulsively and let his emotions control his mind, was now very calm. "Whatever. If you think you can bring down my dad, then go ahead and sue him. If you think I'm abusing my power, then you can report me too."
An apology is out of the question!
“You…” Xu Shanshan pointed angrily at him.
Wen Jinzhou turned to face her, his eyes reddening uncontrollably. "Mom, is he the reason you divorced Dad?"
Wen Jinzhou didn't want to ask, but now he had no choice but to.
"Smack!"
Xu Shanshan slapped Wen Jinzhou again and then left the room where Wen Jinzhou was staying.
Wen Jinzhou sat there motionless, with glistening tears sliding down his cheeks.
