Chapter 12: A Slap in the Face



She stared at Wen Yu fiercely, arrogantly and forcefully, her meaning was obvious: Yes, I did it, what can you do to me? ! Wen Yu ignored them and continued: "Among these handkerchiefs, only this one with a hole cut in it can still be presented. And these ones... I'm afraid they are made by those village women to make a living during the slack season. Haha, five big coins is too much!"

Seeing that Wen Huan refused to admit his mistake, Yuan Shi could only turn to deal with Wen Yu: "Yu Jie'er, your sister also means well. These are some local specialties under your father's jurisdiction. If you think they are not expensive enough... I will find a few more later..."

Wen Yu smiled, ignored her, and just looked at Wen Qian.

"You..." Wen Huan understood what Wen Yu meant. Did she want Dad to make the decision for her? Ha, so she started crying to Wen Qian, "Dad, Mom is right. This is the specialty of your tenure! Also, this piece is broken. It must be the result of the carelessness of the buyer. My sister didn't find out the truth and said that my daughter..."

"Wen Yu, what are you doing?!" Wen Qian was so angry that he got mad at Wen Yu. "She is your sister. You haven't figured out what happened yet, but you come here and accuse her like that! You are so well-educated!"

Wen Yu looked at him quietly, her eyes like a thousand-year-old well, without a single ripple.

I have a bad upbringing...but have you ever educated me? Wen Huan is shallow, petty, and dark-hearted. You taught him that, but how can that be a good upbringing! ?

"Father..." Wen Yu called out, her eyes suddenly reddened... "My daughter has been looking forward to seeing you for many years. I heard that you got a promotion and that you are coming back. I don't know how happy I am in my heart!"

She said with a sincere and heartbroken look, "...You said you brought a gift for your daughter, and she opened it with great joy. But it turned out to be these!" She pointed at the rags on the table.

"You are the person closest to my daughter. She is heartbroken and wronged, but you don't come to make the decision, but blame her for being ill-mannered!?"

At this moment, Yuan blushed even more and felt guilty. She couldn't help but secretly blame herself for not knowing her daughter had such thoughts and not checking in advance...

You can bully Wen Yu, suppress her, or even harm her, but not in this way! Although she was anxious, she did not continue the conversation, but looked at her husband with a faint embarrassment.

There was no one else in the room, so her husband had to make the decision for her! "You came here full of resentment, and you still need me to make the decision? I think you have no respect for elders and are unfilial and unfraternal!" The man slammed the table in anger.

"Father!" Wen Huan also came to his senses when he saw his mother's expression.

She knelt down directly, "It's all my fault that I didn't understand: what I wanted was expensive jewelry! I made me pick on her... It's all my fault, Daddy... Don't scold me! Don't blame me!"

She covered her face with a handkerchief, smiled sarcastically at Wen Yu, and continued, "Also, it's my fault for being careless. I didn't check carefully after they finished shopping. I was too careless. I didn't do well what my father asked me to do..." She started crying without hesitation.

Wen Qian looked at Wen Huan who was kneeling and crying... She should have been his eldest daughter, but she ended up being his second daughter.

Deep down, there is such an unbearable life experience.

What if the news leaked out, how would she live her life?

For a moment, my heart was filled with guilt...

It was all my fault that I didn't have the ability or courage to insist on what I wanted... He turned to his eldest daughter with a gloomy face.

Wen Yu finished her words excitedly, but her expression returned to calm and indifferent.

As if it had nothing to do with her, the two younger brothers watched the mother and daughter's performance nervously... Well, let them see it too! How did she become like this? ! Wen Qian pointed his slender finger at Wen Yu: "Huan Huan gave you something with good intentions. You didn't appreciate it, but said these words to hurt her heart! How could I, Wen Qian, have a daughter as ignorant as you?!"

Wen Yu thought to herself: This is exactly what I said in my previous life: Then I, Wen Qian, will no longer have a daughter like you! Haha, it seems that he has never wanted to have a daughter like me!

"Father..." Wen Yu looked at him with a distant gaze, and the respect she had in the past was gone. She simply said, "Father, giving your daughter life is the greatest gift! Whether you give me a gift or not, or what gift you give me... I am only grateful, and I don't have any resentment. Now, what I am saying is that Wen Huan did something wrong!"

She was too lazy to even call her sister, and pointed at the scraps on the table...

"Are gifts like this only given to my daughter, or should they be given to other sisters as well?"

Wen Qian was stunned by the question.

"If he only gave it to my daughter, it means that Wen Huan has deep thoughts and is trying to instigate a split in our father-daughter relationship. If he gave it to other sisters, it would also be such a rag... My father hasn't returned home for two years, and he was promoted to the capital. Who is he trying to humiliate by doing this? Isn't he afraid of losing face for our eldest house?!"

The demeanor of the eldest daughter is perfectly controlled! ! "I... I didn't do that! You're talking nonsense! You're wrongly accusing me..." Wen Huan shouted before she even stood up. Perhaps because she was too angry and anxious, her voice was shrill and very harsh.

Yuan quickly glanced at her daughter and sighed in her heart: This girl is not careful in her actions and does not respond appropriately.

He seems fine on weekdays, why is he like this when something happens?

Fortunately, it was discovered under such circumstances... I still need to teach her! "Father, Wen Huan said that this was a gift she personally selected. But just now, she said that she was careless and let her subordinates take advantage of it. She is so inconsistent! Did she learn this from following father?!"

Wen Yu's aura made Wen Qian's heart pound, and his mind followed suit...

"Even if she didn't do it on purpose, she was deceived..." She smiled coldly, "Master Huang's handkerchief can be sold for up to twenty taels of silver. Wen Huan was so easily deceived by someone for purchasing such a large amount of silver... Is she not serious about her work? Is she not capable enough? Is it because the people around her have bad character? Or is she herself corrupt and passing off inferior goods as good ones?"

No matter which one it is, it's a bad reputation! Wen Qian was speechless...

Wen Huan was stunned by Wen Yu's strength! She didn't know how to respond except to yell. She wanted to stand up and fight with her... She glanced at Yuan.

Yuan shook his head slightly.

Wen Huan had no choice but to cover her face and cry, "Daddy, she actually, actually said that to her daughter!"

Wen Qian's head was buzzing. He was not good at the affairs of the inner house. Now, apart from using his status to pressure Wen Yu, he didn't know what to do...

However, this is what he disdains the most.

Seeing this, Yuan had to solve the problem herself. With a sad expression, she changed the subject: "Yujie, this is Huanhuan's first time doing something, so it's possible that she was careless and credulous. But how can she feel about you criticizing her like this? No matter what, she is your sister after all. Your attitude and words are too harsh!" She glanced at her daughter with a reproachful look and shook her head gently.

"I know that I married your father not long after your mother passed away. You must be feeling bad..."

When Wen Yu heard Yuan mention this, she turned around and looked at her seriously for the first time.

"Your father has been away for many years and has not brought you with him. With your parents not around, you have not lived as well as other girls and have suffered some grievances. I admit all of this! This is because I did not do things properly. Your mother apologizes to you... As for the gift, I will prepare another expensive one for you. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Do you think this is okay?"

Wen Yu almost laughed out loud, this is true, the same bloodline. "Madam! You married my father, as long as my grandparents, my father, and... the Yuan family, heh, it felt right! How could a junior like me have the right to speak out? At that time, I was still a baby, what could I know? Besides, for so many years, I lived with my biological grandmother. The housekeeper was my biological second aunt, Wen Yu's life was good! It's not like what you said: suffering and being wronged! I have to make this clear! In case my grandmother and second aunt hear and misunderstand, and hurt their hearts!"

Now, Yuan was really embarrassed.

Wen Yu smiled sarcastically again: "As for these gifts... How could I not like the taste of my wife and sister? In two days, it will be my brother's wedding. Wen Yu will use these things at the wedding! When others ask, my wife and sister must not deny it! Father, your daughter is leaving!"

After saying that, she grabbed her things and was about to leave.

"How dare you! Did I let you go?" How could Wen Qian let her go like this? He was anxious, "If you despise it, just let it go! No one forced you to have it!" He lost his composure and shouted.

When Wen Yu heard this, she stopped, her face was sad, she looked up to the sky and sighed, "Yes!" She stared at the elegant man out of the corner of her eye.

"If you don't want it, just be tough and don't reach out. If you reach out and take it, you'll feel wronged, as if someone owes you something..."

This seemingly ordinary sentence actually hit Wen Qian's lungs.

His blood rushed to his head. He stood up, took two steps forward, swung his fist, and slapped Wen Yu in the face.

Alas, I got beaten.
