Chapter 5 Get Beaten Up, Fu Jinzhi
Wen Yao closed her eyes in pain. What kind of luck was this?
Just because she's cannon fodder, does she have to be targeted by the world's consciousness from all sides?
Whenever she tries to cause trouble, the retribution comes faster than her triumphant smile.
She forced a smile and turned to look at her parents, one angry and the other startled, "What brings you two here?"
"You still complain about me coming over? In public, don't you have any self-respect!" Father Wen's face turned ashen with anger, and he wanted to give his unfilial daughter a flick on the forehead.
Of course, I'd rather take off my shoes and give this trashy son-in-law a good beating.
"What's wrong? It's just a newlywed couple having some private conversation. Why are you interfering?" Wen's mother had recovered from her shock and instinctively defended her daughter.
"Didn't you need to talk to Yaoyao? Be nicer, let's talk this over properly."
The old man clearly regretted his previous attitude towards his daughter, and had been so worried that he couldn't sleep for several nights, but he pretended that nothing was wrong. However, when he saw his daughter today, he reverted to his old ways.
Fu Jinzhi, on the other hand, had a smile on his face, and his handsome face was full of smiles. He was always in a good mood whenever he saw his cheap wife make a mistake.
Wen's father now attacks everyone except his wife on an equal footing. Seeing that Fu Jinzhi still dares to laugh, he glares at him fiercely with his nostrils.
Fearing that something else might happen and make them a laughingstock, Wen's mother pulled the fuming Wen's father and gestured for Wen Yao and his wife to go to the study.
"Smack!"
As soon as Wen Yao entered the study, her father, looking displeased, picked up a stack of documents from the desk and slammed them in front of her, saying, "Here you go!"
Wen Yao picked it up with a puzzled look. It turned out to be an equity transfer agreement, and she was the transferee.
"This is 10% of the group's shares. Once you sign, it's yours." Mr. Wen's expression was still sour, and he spoke sarcastically.
“No matter how angry I am, she’s still my daughter. It’s not right to not give her anything.”
"Unlike some people, who don't contact each other for a month after getting married and then find themselves a new father."
Wen Yao looked up, pretending not to hear her father's words, blinked her bright black eyes, and looked extremely obedient.
Thank you, Mom and Dad, I love you!
Wen's mother's heart almost melted. How long had it been since her daughter had acted so affectionately? She really wanted to hug her and kiss her.
Even faster than her was Wen's father. The old man was incredibly nimble, taking a few strides to reach Wen Yao and placing his large hand directly on her forehead.
"You're not sick!"
No one knows a daughter better than her father. His daughter is a tough nut to crack, cold-hearted and proud. Today, she showed weakness several times and didn't give him a cold, disdainful look, which he was truly unaccustomed to.
He patted Wen Yao's head a few more times, as if checking if a watermelon was ripe, "Why are you acting so strange today?"
Wen Yao actually wanted to respect the original owner's parents. Although the original owner had abandoned her parents and was considered very "filial," Wen Yao was a true orphan and always longed for her parents.
But her father's repeated provocations made it impossible for Wen Yao to keep up the act any longer.
"You're acting a little strange today too." Wen Yao said with a forced smile as she smoothed her disheveled hair with her fingers.
"What's wrong with me?" Mr. Wen was completely baffled.
"How annoying." With that, Wen Yao quickly pushed Fu Jinzhi in front of her as a shield, only showing half of his head.
Well, it's still his annoying daughter, just in a different form: before she was arrogant, now she's unreliable.
Ha, so what if the son-in-law is blocking the way? The son-in-law is even more annoying.
With a cold snort in his heart, Wen's father began to settle personal scores, raising his cane as if to hit Wen Yao, but actually hitting Fu Jinzhi every time.
No father-in-law would like a son-in-law whose daughter is pregnant out of wedlock, even if his daughter is also at fault.
Fu Jinzhi was at his wits' end and couldn't retaliate; his handsome face darkened. What did this have to do with him? Were the Wen family deliberately trying to bring him bad luck?
Yesterday he was wondering what kind of monster could give birth to Wen Yao, and now he knows.
In the end, it was Wen's mother who ended the farce by sending Wen's father back to the banquet, sighing helplessly.
They had agreed that Wen's father would have a proper talk, but things turned into chaos, and she still had to take on the burden.
"Jinzhi, are you alright?" Mother Wen looked at the two children with gentle eyes.
"Auntie, I'm fine. Uncle didn't use any force." Fu Jinzhi straightened his wrinkled suit, his expression calm and composed.
That's true; Mr. Wen was careful with his actions.
"Your uncle is just a little resentful, after all, your marriage wasn't very respectable."
This was already a very tactful way of putting it. Being caught in bed with another man became a laughing stock in high society. Then, Wen Yao refused to take responsibility for the Fu family and had a cold war with her family. In the end, after all that trouble, she got married because she was pregnant.
Let alone wealthy families, even ordinary families would find it hard to accept.
"I know." Fu Jinzhi maintained her smile, her butterfly-like eyelashes casting delicate shadows on her face.
He chuckled inwardly; there was something even less respectable: your daughter wasn't pregnant at all.
"Actually, I wasn't optimistic about your marriage either. It was too rushed and there's no emotional foundation." Wen's mother suddenly smiled, covering her mouth with her well-maintained fingers. "But seeing you two get along today, I feel much more at ease."
Whether it was their previous playful interactions or Wen Yao's natural use of Fu Jinzhi as a shield, it's clear that the two get along well.
If Wen Yao knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say no: There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's all because she is carrying a heavy burden - to keep Fu Jin, this time bomb, under control for the whole world, starting by raising his emotional threshold.
You'll get used to it after a while, so you won't have to resort to gunfights, kidnappings, or imprisonment all the time...
"In the future, the Wen and Fu families can increase their cooperation and turn your marriage into a real alliance for publicity, to dispel the bad rumors from before." Mother Wen changed the subject, her gaze gentle yet firm, "I sincerely hope that you two can get along well, but if you really can't make it work, you should part amicably."
"Nothing belonging to the Wen family that should belong to Yaoyao will be missing."
On the way home, Wen Yao was somewhat silent, but she was actually secretly communicating with 8848.
"8848, I feel that the world is far removed from your outline."
Fu Jinzhi wasn't that sinister and crazy, and the Wen family didn't seem like the kind of heartless wealthy family that would easily abandon their daughter. Not to mention her parents, her brother Wen Yuan even gave her a card with ten million yuan when she left.
That's normal. After all, all the information we have comes from the world's consciousness, which will be highly biased. The plot can be used as a reference, but it's not absolute.
However, each time you complete a mission and shift the timeline, we can unlock some of the true storyline, and one day we will be able to uncover the truth.
"That's right, there's still one story reward we haven't unlocked yet," Wen Yao said excitedly.
"Hiss!" Just as the plot was about to unfold, a bottle of ice-cold juice was shoved onto Wen Yao's face. She snatched the juice away and glared at Fu Jinzhi angrily, "What are you doing?!"
Fu Jinzhi leaned back lazily in his chair, glancing sideways at Wen Yao with his shimmering eyes.
You look so heavy-hearted. What's wrong? Are you about to cry?
The Wen family's actions today have only one purpose: to make Fu Jinzhi pay more attention to Wen Yao.
By giving Wen Yao shares and strengthening cooperation with the Fu family, they are increasing Wen Yao's value, fearing that she might be mistreated in her husband's family.
This woman should have been very happy, so why was she so sullen the whole way? She sat upright, her eyes were downcast, and her moist lips were tightly pursed.
Touched? Realizing what Fu Jinzhi was talking about, Wen Yao smiled brightly, "Of course! A real dad is different, so generous!"
The dim light shone on her fair face, making her eyes appear moist and captivating.
The beautiful scenery momentarily stunned Fu Jinzhi, and his heart began to pound rapidly.
It wasn't until Wen Yao took an ice pack out of the car refrigerator and pressed it against his face that the ice pack stopped.
It hit me with a loud thud, and it hurt terribly.
Watching Wen Yao laugh triumphantly as she twisted her back against the car door, moving away from him, Fu Jinzhi expressionlessly tossed the ice pack aside.
Stupid heart, what's with the beating?
You're really hungry.
