Chapter 176 When to Resign
Fang Li only found out the address of Wen Yang's home after asking Liu Nian.
The Wen family's community is very difficult to find. It is hidden at the end of a dead-end road. There are newly built residential areas on both sides and a large area of building ruins behind it. The old community with three buildings is sandwiched in the middle.
When Zhou Yufan's Maserati, which was worth more than two million yuan, appeared in the community, it immediately attracted the attention of a group of residents who were sitting downstairs chatting about family matters.
Especially since the two of them had just gotten off work and were still wearing their work attire.
With her superior appearance, you can feel the hot gazes of the uncles and aunts without even looking.
The two got out of the car and looked up at the three small buildings. They were just observing which building Wen Yang lived in when they saw three or four tall men walking out of the innermost building.
Fang Li frowned slightly and looked at the woman walking among the men.
He looked very familiar, and I realized where I had seen him before after just a moment's thought.
There was a black Volkswagen Tiguan parked downstairs in the community, and several people walked towards the car.
Fang Li and Zhou Yufan stood under a thick locust tree and saw those people looking at Zhou Yufan's black Maserati several times as they walked.
Everyone showed interest and envy in their eyes. They tilted their heads and said something to each other before opening the car door and getting in.
The car started, the tires kicked up a cloud of dust, and it drove out of the community quickly.
After the car drove away, Fang Li and Zhou Yufan looked at each other and walked towards the small building at the back.
I went all the way up to the fourth floor, and before I even reached the door, I could already hear angry scolding and suppressed crying from inside.
Fang Li walked in front and Zhou Yufan followed behind her.
The two men went up and saw that the door was wide open. Just by listening to the slight noises, they could tell that there must be quite a few people inside.
Fang Li stood at the door and looked inside, and sure enough.
The living room was not big, but there was a set of three-seater sofas, and four people were sitting on them.
In the middle is an old man with gray hair who looks to be in his seventies or eighties. To the left of the old man is a middle-aged man who looks three-quarters like him.
He was wearing a striped shirt, his black hair was neatly combed back, and he had a pair of frameless glasses on his nose. He looked quite gentle.
To the right of the old man was Wen Yang's mother, Wang Mingxia, whom Fang Li and Zhou Yufan had met last time in the mall.
Wang Mingxia looked very bad, especially since she was not wearing any makeup today and was wearing a gray home suit. Her eyes were a little red and swollen for some reason, and her hair tied behind her head was a little messy. She looked a lot older.
And next to her, there was another person sitting.
He looks much younger than her.
Judging from her face, she should be no more than 40 years old. She was wearing a purple knitted dress, her hair was curled in wool curls, and she was wearing a bright red dress. At the moment, she was looking at her bright red nails without caring, which was completely different from the three people around her with different expressions.
There were two people standing in the corner beside the sofa.
One of them was Wen Yang’s brother, Wen Tao.
Next to Wen Tao was a middle-aged man who was short, slightly overweight, and looked to be about forty years old.
Fang Li looked around but didn't see Wen Yang.
I could only raise my hand, knock on the door and go in.
"Who are you?" asked the woman sitting next to Wang Mingxia.
Fang Li forced herself to maintain a decent smile and said, "I'm Wen Yang's colleague. Something happened at the company, but I couldn't contact her, so I came here specifically to look for her."
As soon as these words came out, the people who had been staring at her with unfriendly eyes all showed a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
Only the woman in the purple dress looked Fang Li up and down, then her gaze suddenly shifted to Zhou Yufan behind her.
The other people in the room seemed to have followed her gaze and saw Zhou Yufan, who was tall, long-legged and had an outstanding temperament.
"Are you also Yangyang's colleague?" The old man asked.
Fang Li glanced at Zhou Yufan, her eyes flashing slightly to give him a hint.
Zhou Yufan understood instantly, his brows darkening slightly, revealing a bit of the authority of a superior: "I am Wen Yang's supervisor. The company sent her on a business trip to Beijing, but she didn't complete her work and couldn't be contacted. This matter is very important to the company. If you know where Wen Yang is, please let me know. If she doesn't show up again, the company will have to treat her as having resigned."
"Resign voluntarily?"
Wang Mingxia was startled. She glanced uneasily at the old man beside her, then glanced past him at the middle-aged man on the other side. She stood up and hurried over to greet them: "Why don't you two take a seat first? Actually, Yangyang is at home. Something happened at home that delayed her for the past two days. It wasn't intentional that she didn't contact the company."
Fang Li glanced lightly, quickly sweeping across the closed door at the side.
The two of them went over and sat down on the chairs opposite the sofa.
Wang Mingxia was still a little reserved, not daring to look at Zhou Yufan. Her gaze shifted to Fang Li's face, "Are you Yangyang's colleague? Have we met somewhere before?"
Fang Li smiled and said directly, "Yes, I have seen it. Last time you took your son and daughter-in-law to buy clothes, it was Wen Yang who paid for it. It was over 30,000 yuan. She would have had to save for two months without eating or drinking."
"......" Wang Mingxia looked flustered and couldn't help but look at the old man beside her.
Sure enough, the old man's sharp gaze immediately fell on her face.
"Over 30,000? What kind of skirt is over 30,000?!"
Wang Mingxia obviously did not mention this matter to the old man.
When the old man heard this, his expression changed immediately. He looked at Wang Mingxia instead of Fang Li and Zhou Yufan.
Wang Mingxia moved her lips several times but couldn't say anything. She looked at her husband for help.
Wen Yang's father is Wen Shiming, who is the director of a small office in the grain department.
He is usually very cautious at work, having to bow his head in front of his boss and not daring to show off his authority in front of his subordinates. Only when he returns home does he transform himself into the head of the family and seem to have regained some of his sense of presence as a leader.
He had a cold face and didn't say anything. Wang Mingxia was obviously afraid of her father-in-law.
After a pause, he continued, "It was Yangyang. She said she often doesn't go home. Now her brother is getting married, and it's her first time meeting her sister-in-law, so she bought a skirt for her sister-in-law as a gift."
"Am I asking about the meeting gift?" The old man's voice suddenly rose, and he raised his hand and slammed the coffee table in front of him. "I'm asking you, what kind of skirt is worth more than 30,000 yuan?!"
"......" Wang Mingxia was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Don't you understand that Wen Yang is ignorant? What's going on at home? The whole family is trying to save every penny they can to get Taobao a wife. What about you? As a mother of two children, what are you doing while Wen Yang is spending money lavishly?!"
“Dad, I…”
Seeing his mother being scolded, Wen Tao was quite responsible and spoke up for her: "Grandpa, my mother can't be blamed for this. It was Wen Yang who wanted to buy it. What does it have to do with my mother?"
