As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, Old Master Wen agreed so readily. Li Daocheng felt that dealing with the Wen family in the future was now a sure thing, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Oh my, Mr. Wen is so generous, I..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Old Master Wen: "President Li, actually, the main reason I came here today is to apologize to your Li Ruo."
After all, it doesn't sound good if a girl's engagement is broken off by the man's family.
Even if it's just for Li Ruo's sake, this matter must be resolved properly.
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Mr. Wen, you are too kind. Don't worry, I have already spoken to her about this matter, and she has no objections."
However, upon hearing this, Old Master Wen did not express his opinion. Instead, he turned to look at Li Ruo and said somewhat apologetically, "Miss Li, we are truly sorry about the annulment of the engagement. You did nothing wrong. It is our Wen family who has wronged you."
Li Ruo didn't speak, but just kept her head down, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing this, Old Master Wen thought she was having some difficulty accepting it, and felt even more guilty. He immediately said, "Since this matter is our Wen family's fault, we should naturally bear the consequences. So after thinking it over, I must give you some compensation."
As he spoke, he took out the prepared checks from his bag and placed them in front of Li Ruo.
"This is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it."
This move stunned everyone present, as the Wen family's actions were certainly extraordinary.
Li Ruo glanced at the check; the amount on it was indeed substantial, but she didn't pay it any attention.
Because what she wants is something else entirely.
Thinking of this, she sneered, and before anyone could react, she suddenly raised her head, her face showing a hint of agitation: "I don't want money. I was originally Wen Changfeng's fiancée, but now Li Rao and Wen Changfeng are secretly colluding and she's even pregnant. Isn't this a clear case of cuckolding me?"
As she spoke, she glared hatefully at Li Rao beside her, her face full of anger: "Moreover, it's one thing for Wen Changfeng to cheat on me, but the person he cheated with is my half-sister. If word gets out, won't I become a laughing stock? How am I supposed to face people? I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I bear the consequences? It's so unfair!"
"this……"
Li Daocheng was stunned when Li Ruo suddenly pulled this stunt.
She clearly promised herself last night that she would cooperate properly, so why did she suddenly go back on her word?
Realizing something was wrong, Li Daocheng immediately became furious and couldn't help but remind her, "Ruoruo, the fact that Mr. Wen came to talk to you about compensation in person is already giving you a lot of face. Don't push your luck!"
However, as soon as he said this, Old Master Wen stopped him with a gesture.
"It's okay, let her talk."
Seeing this, Li Ruo cried even harder: "I already lost my mother, and even my father remarried. He only has eyes for his little daughter. Now he actually wants me to make way for her. What did I do wrong to deserve this treatment?"
Her tone was agitated, and as she finished speaking, two tears were forced from her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen paused slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
In the past, he could turn a blind eye to Wen Changfeng's promiscuous behavior, but that kid went even further and got involved with Li Ruo's sister.
Especially now that Li Ruo is crying in front of so many people, it's like trampling on the Wen family's dignity.
“Miss Li, I am truly sorry for what happened, but don’t worry, I will make it up to you.”
However, Li Ruo shook her head, sobbing softly, "What's the use of any amount of compensation now that things have come to this? Aren't I still the most pitiful person? Does being kind mean being bullied?"
The atmosphere froze instantly upon hearing this.
After all, it's true that Li Rao seduced her future brother-in-law and was inexplicably dumped.
In a sense, she was indeed a victim.
Seeing that these words had put Old Master Wen in an awkward position, Li Daocheng frowned and could no longer control himself. He subconsciously scolded, "Li Ruo, shut up! Old Master Wen is here to solve your problem, not to listen to your nonsense and try to gain sympathy. Besides, he has already given you compensation. Don't go too far!"
idiot!
Unexpectedly, he still dared to interrupt at this point. Li Ruo immediately sneered, "You still dare to talk? Li Daocheng, don't forget how you treated my mother back then?"
At the time, Li Daocheng had an affair with her mother during her pregnancy, quickly becoming involved with Sun Lan, and even committed those heinous acts...
"Shut up!"
Suddenly realizing what she was about to say, Li Daocheng was startled and hurriedly tried to interrupt her.
But Li Ruo didn't give him the chance: "Why should I shut up? Isn't all of this true? Li Rao is your biological daughter, but she's only a few months younger than me..."
