Chapter 125 You Must Apologize
Xu Shanshan was taken aback by the word "Enough".
She stared at Wen Changyu in disbelief; even though Wen Changyu had pushed her today, it was still beyond her expectations.
But Wen Changyu's angry roar still shocked her.
The reason she brought up the past was simply to make Wen Changyu realize what kind of person his sister was, and how he, Wen Changyu, had treated her when she suffered those injustices.
Can……
Xu Shanshan's eyelids twitched a few times, her drooping eyelids concealing the panic in her eyes. She frantically reached for Wen Qianqian, who was standing behind her.
Holding onto the person, Xu Shanshan's panic subsided somewhat.
Just then, Wen Changyu stared at her and said, word by word, "Qianqian apologizes to Zhizhi for what happened today!"
Xu Shanshan looked up at him again, her voice trembling, "...What if I say no?"
"Absolutely!" Wen Changyu replied firmly.
As Wen Changyu spoke, he turned his gaze to Wen Qianqian, "Qianqian, since you call me Dad, I think I have an obligation to raise you."
“You are already twenty-three years old this year, not a child anymore. I think you should know right from wrong without me having to say it, but what you did today... is really disappointing.”
Wen Qianqian didn't dare to meet Wen Changyu's gaze, nor did she intend to reply to him. She just kept shrinking behind Xu Shanshan.
Wen Changyu didn't care whether she flinched or not, and continued, "You call me Dad, but Zhizhi is my own daughter. Because of me, she missed twenty years of fatherly love. Now that she's back in my life, no matter what the reason, I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance again."
"So you must apologize for arranging for her to stay in the storage room today."
Wen Qianqian naturally refused to apologize, so Xu Shanshan took her hand and prepared to turn around and go upstairs.
It's always been like this: when she ignores him and Wen Changyu isn't going to side with her, she'll throw a tantrum and go upstairs, using passive-aggressive tactics to force everyone to back down.
But as soon as she turned around, Wen Changyu's voice rang out behind her, "Stop!"
Xu Shanshan could only stop in her tracks, and then she heard Wen Changyu's "cold and ruthless" words coming from behind her: "If Qianqian insists on not apologizing today, then I can only ask Qianqian to leave this house. After all, I have fulfilled my responsibility to raise her."
Xu Shanshan's hand, which was holding Wen Qianqian's, trembled instantly. She turned around, staring at the expressionless Wen Changyu, and uttered two words: "You dare!"
Wen Changyu didn't answer whether he dared or not, but his eyes told Xu Shanshan that he dared.
Wen Qianqian burst into tears again.
She cried so hard.
Wen Zhizhi found it amusing and tilted her head to ask, "Sister Qianqian, why are you crying so sadly? Are you afraid that you'll have to move out of your room and live in the storage room later?"
Wen Zhizhi seemed very understanding, "No, Sister Qianqian, if you sincerely apologize to me, I will forgive you."
"Although I am the Wen family's biological daughter, you are also a daughter that your mother raised with her own hands!"
To Xu Shanshan, Wen Zhizhi's seemingly understanding words were nothing short of mockery and sarcasm.
How could someone as proud as her tolerate this? So she immediately raised her chin and asked Wen Changyu again, "Are you sure you want Qianqian to apologize?"
This time, Wen Changyu truly refused to back down from "confirmation!"
Xu Shanshan scoffed, "Fine, you don't need to rush me. Qianqian and I will go by ourselves."
After saying that, she pulled the aggrieved and sobbing Wen Qianqian upstairs. "Come on, Qianqian, pack your things and let's leave this place, leave this place that doesn't welcome us."
Wen Zhizhi: I really want to say, you have guts! You just left like that, why did you go upstairs to get your things?
But then I thought better of it. She's playing a gentle and kind young girl, not a villainous woman. I don't want her to inadvertently become an ally of the enemy.
This time, Wen Changyu neither bowed his head nor stopped her.
Even when He Yuzhi was about to speak, he said, "Since she insists on doing so, let her be!"
Wen Zhizhi quickly said, "Dad, how about I stay in the storage room? Actually, I think that room is fine too; it's much better than the one I used to live in in the countryside."
"I won't go into the fact that I used to live in a mud-brick house at the Xie family's house. Until I got married, I lived with my adoptive mother, Tian Fang. When I was younger, before my adoptive father died, I lived with the two of them. The storage room at my house was much better than the conditions at the Xie family's house."
As she spoke, she looked around and said, "No matter what, no chicken will ever run onto my bed to poop here."
Wen Changyu, who had been feeling somewhat sad and silent, could no longer feel sad after Wen Zhizhi finished speaking. All he felt was guilt and heartache for Zhizhi.
He Yuzhi and the others felt very sorry for her.
“You child, you have suffered so much over the years,” He Yuzhi said, holding her hand.
“It’s one thing to suffer outside, but why would you suffer again when you come back? Just wait, once they leave, your aunt will immediately go and clean up that room, and you can stay here in peace,” Wen Changle said.
Wen Zhizhi glanced cautiously at Wen Changyu, "But Mom..."
Wen Zhizhi: "Saving" love-struck people starts with me.
When Wen Changyu saw the cautious look in his daughter's eyes, his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle. "You are originally a daughter of the Wen family, so that room should be yours. Your aunt is right. Just stay here and don't worry about others."
Under his daughter's cautious gaze, Wen Changyu spoke with conviction.
These defiant words happened to fall into the ears of Xu Shanshan, who had just finished packing her things and walked to the stairwell. Wen Changyu looked up and saw the person standing at the stairwell, but looked away after just one glance.
Wen Zhizhi cautiously called out, "Mom..."
Xu Shanshan glared at her fiercely, took Wen Qianqian's hand, and left home.
Wen Zhizhi: Tsk tsk, having a bad temper isn't a good thing either.
Wen Changle kept her word. As soon as Xu Shanshan left with Wen Qianqian, she led Wen Changxin and Wang Chunlan upstairs to start cleaning Wen Qianqian's room.
Wen Changle had Wang Chunlan take all the clothes and shoes that Wen Qianqian hadn't taken with her to the storage room downstairs.
Wen Qianqian changed all the bed sheets and blankets she had laid out.
New quilts were laid out, then Wen Changle put them all away.
Wen Changxin asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Wen Changle put the quilt on the stool and said, "I think this bed needs to be replaced too."
"Putting everything else aside, this bed has always been slept in by Wen Qianqian. If I were Zhizhi, I would feel uncomfortable. No, we have to change it."
Wen Changle said she wanted to change things, so she went downstairs to tell everyone that she was going to buy a bed for Zhizhi, as well as curtains for the room, and she would change them all according to Zhizhi's preferred color.
"Take a look at the other things in the room, Zhizhi, and see if there's anything you don't like. I'll replace everything."
Wen Zhizhi really didn't want to sleep in Wen Qianqian's bed, but she was really touched that Wen Changle had taken the initiative to think of this issue. "Auntie, this is already very good. I like the curtains to be green."
