Chapter 2169: A Little Wrong
Wandou found it hard to understand. She cried and asked, “You’ve always been fine. You’ve been hiding it from me for so long. Why are you telling me now? Why don’t you just lie to me for the rest of my life? What you’re doing is equivalent to stabbing a knife into my heart, okay? I don’t want to be separated from you, nor do I want a rich father! I just want to be with you all the time.”
“I know you’re upset, but we’re even more upset. I was the one who raised you up. I’ve always treated you as my own daughter. If it weren’t for Li Liang and the others, we wouldn’t have been able to protect you. That’s why we wanted you to return to the Wen family. Only when you return to the Wen family and become the eldest daughter of the Wen family, Li Mei’en and Li Liang wouldn’t dare to force you anymore.”
Mother Wan said as she wiped her tears. Giving her back her daughter was equivalent to cutting out her heart and flesh. The bitterness in her heart was indescribable.
“Mom…”
Wandou knew her parents’ true intentions. She was touched and hugged her mother. She comforted her, “Mom, don’t worry. I can already protect myself. I also have Chenguang to protect me. Nothing will happen. You won’t lose your daughter. I won’t leave you.”
“If you go back, you won’t have to listen to me every day,” Mrs. Wan said. “And now that you’re a rich girl, you’ll be a good match for the Mu family. No one will look down on you anymore. I hope you can live a better life.”
“I don’t want to be an heiress. I want to be your daughter.”
Right now, Wandou could not listen to anything else. She also did not want to acknowledge a rich father. She only wanted to stay with her parents peacefully.
Mother Wan was not in a hurry to persuade her to change her mind. She said, “Okay, are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat!”
“Mm.”
…
Elsewhere, Wen Zhehan returned to the Wen family home. After entering the house, Li Meien came up to him. “Zhehan, you’re back!”
Wen Zhehan looked at her with a dark face and went upstairs without saying anything.
Li Meien felt that she was in the wrong. She had brought Li Liang to Wen Zhehan to ask for his hand in marriage, and Wen Zhehan had reported it to Wen Zhehan. Therefore, Wen Zhehan had given her a harsh scolding because of this.
Even now, Wen Zhehan was still waging a cold war with her. Even when she talked to him, he would ignore her.
Li Mei’en chased her up the stairs. When she reached her room, she saw her husband take off his jacket and immediately went up to catch him.
But Wen Zhehan pushed her away coldly.
Li Mei’en felt very hurt and couldn’t help but say, “I know I was wrong! Didn’t I already admit my mistake? Why are you still so cold to me?”
“I told you last night, but did you go manage your nephew?”
Wen Zhehan frowned and questioned.
“I did. Why?”
“Take a look for yourself!” Wen Zhehan threw a newspaper to Li Meien. Li Meien picked it up and flipped through the contents.
After searching for a while, she saw a square-shaped news article. There was a picture with the truth. The report was about a man who had been beaten up until his head was swollen. He was stripped naked and hung on the back of a public car for public viewing.
Li Meien saw the name of the young master of the Li family mentioned in the content and immediately knew that it was her nephew who was being shown to the public. She exclaimed, “Ah! What’s going on?”
“What do you think happened? If you had warned him, would he have harassed Old Wan’s daughter? This is all his own fault!”
Wen Zhehan said angrily.
“I did tell him, but I didn’t expect him to do something like this.”
