Chapter 444 I don't think it's slapping enough in the face.
"Of course something happened." Zhang Wenshu looked at Duan Yi with a smile. She wasn't the kind of heartless person who would trip someone up; she always resolved things face-to-face. Therefore, she had been sulking over Duan Yi's gloomy behavior for many years. She couldn't bring herself to do the kind of insidious revenge that Duan Yi had done, but now was a good opportunity to finally get her revenge.
Zhang Wenshu pulled Yu Ru in front of her and said, "Look who this is. This is Xiao Ru. She lived at our house for a while when she was little. You caused this poor child a lot of trouble."
"Haha." Duan Yi laughed awkwardly twice. "Oh, Sister Zhang, we were just joking around with the kids back then. It's all old news, why are you bringing it up again?"
"Of course!" Zhang Wenshu said seriously. "Duan Yi, you little rascal..."
This was about to start a tirade. Wen Nachuan instinctively went over, but Wen Shuchen quickly pulled him back and warned him in a low voice, "Xiao Chuan, this is their business. Don't meddle. It's because you always try to smooth things over that things have become more and more complicated."
Wen Nachuan had no choice but to stop and remain silent.
On the other end, Zhang Wenshu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, loud enough for everyone present to hear, "Xiaoru was so pitiful and so well-behaved when she was little, and you still bullied her, looking down on her for being a country girl. Look at my Xiaoru now, how impressive she is, more like a city person than city people. And this..."
She led Yu Ru back a step and pointed to the two luxury cars. "See those? Xiao Ru bought those cars. They cost over ten million! She didn't ask anyone else to buy them; she bought them with her own money. Now, when she takes on a project, she easily makes tens of thousands, and sometimes even millions. She's really impressive!"
Yu Ru looked at Zhang Wenshu, whose arrogance was rising, and felt somewhat helpless, but she didn't stop her. Zhang Wenshu had always been at odds with Duan Yi and just needed an outlet to vent her frustrations. Besides, it was all for her sake.
Duan Yi was speechless and lowered his eyes to endure it.
Even though they were talking about Duan Yi, Wen Shuchen and Qi Zhaolin felt their faces burning, turning pale and ashamed.
Zhang Wenshu wasn't finished yet. "You said I wasted my time taking care of Xiaoru, but now you see, I was just being kind and getting rewarded. Let me tell you, Xiaoru is very filial. After she grew up and started earning money, she gave me tens of thousands of yuan every month and bought me new clothes, just because she was afraid I would be too frugal and not eat or dress well."
The Wen family was unaware of this matter, and they were all somewhat surprised to hear Zhang Wenshu say this.
In the second branch of the Wen family, the couple whispered secrets to each other.
“I never thought that Dad would pick up a treasure at random and bring it home. If we had known this would happen, we should have brought her home and raised her back then.”
"How can we know everything beforehand? We're lucky we didn't speak ill of this child back then and deliberately push her away, so she wouldn't come back to retaliate against us."
Zhang Wenshu talked at length about how wonderful Yu Ru was, until her throat was dry, before finally pulling Yu Ru away in a swagger.
After they left, the Wen family stood still, looking at each other in bewilderment. Only Wen Nachuan went forward to help Duan Yi.
Wen Zhuomo and Shi Yanchun stared intently at their children for a long time, especially at Wen Nachuan's family, their gazes carrying a deeper meaning. He finally sighed, said nothing, and walked straight back.
The Wen family was the last to walk back.
After everyone else left, Wen Nahai became more talkative. He cut in between his father and mother and said, "Dad, Mom, is there anything good in the house that we can give as a gift? Tell me, I want to give a present."
"Xiao Hai, what gift are you giving? And to whom?" Wen Shuchen asked.
"This is for Sister Yuru, to thank her for helping me avoid a big problem. I was supposed to be racing in a few days, but I've decided not to go. Sister Yuru overheard someone trying to cause trouble at the race, and someone even tried to tamper with my car. If I had gone, I might have died in a car accident. Sister Yuru saved my life, and I have to thank her properly."
This was what Yu Ru wanted to tell Wen Nahai when she asked him to follow her. She had only seen the news by chance, and since Wen Nahai hadn't harmed her, there was no harm in her reminding him.
After hearing what he said, Wen Shuchen and Qi Zhaolin exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming serious. "Xiao Hai, who wants to sabotage you?" Qi Zhaolin asked.
Wen Nahai thought for a moment and replied, "Sister Yuru said it might be Dad's mortal enemy. Anyway, Dad feels that whoever looks at him the most disliked at work is probably that person."
"Xiao Hai, racing is a high-risk sport. Don't do it anymore. It's easy to get into an accident," Wen Shuchen said sternly.
"Okay, Dad." Wen Nahai put his hand on his father's shoulder. "I won't play anymore. Sister Yuru also told me that racing is easy to cause accidents, and told me not to play those games."
Wen Shuchen and his wife didn't respond. After a long while, Qi Zhaolin suddenly said, "Mom and Dad are right, Yu Ru... is indeed a good child."
"It's a pity..." Wen Shuchen wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate, so he didn't say it and instead let out a sigh. Qi Zhaolin, however, understood what he meant.
night,
Yunji Star and Yuru slept together, with Shanci lying between them. It couldn't wait to tell Yuru about what it had seen and heard that day. The brooch Yuru wore was a miniature camera, so it had seen and heard everything Yuru had experienced that day through its surveillance.
"Mom, this trip wasn't satisfying at all; it didn't meet the criteria for a satisfying slap in the face. ( ? - ? )"
"Then tell me, what would be the most enjoyable?" Yu Ru asked with a smile.
“Hmm…hmm…╰(???)╯” Shan Ci thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. “I don’t know either, it just wasn’t satisfying enough.”
Yu Ru gently patted Shan Ci's stomach. "Shan Ci, Wen Na Chuan is Grandpa Wen's own grandson. If I really retaliate against him, Grandpa Wen will definitely feel bad too. No matter what, he's still his blood relative. As for the others, no one has done anything heinous to me, so I don't need to do anything to them. A forgiving person will broaden your path. The Wen family is also a powerful family; it won't do any harm to be on good terms with them."
"That makes sense, Mom. Then don't send them gold anymore. You've already given enough. (?_?|||)"
"Yes, we emptied our coffers to save Grandpa Wen, and I gave them my life in return. That's enough. Starting this year, we won't give them any more gold."
"That's more like it, Mom. (??0`?)"
“I also feel it’s not satisfying enough,” Yunji Xing suddenly spoke up.
"Alright, let's just let this matter drop." Yu Ru poked Yun Jixing's cheek. "The child is immature, but aren't you immature too? Actually, I'm not that wronged, and it's only natural for them to hate others invading their territory."
“It’s not Wen Nachuan’s territory, it’s Grandpa Wen’s house. Grandpa Wen pays all the living expenses and other costs. What’s he babbling about?” Shan Ci said.
"Okay, baby, go to sleep." Yu Ru forcibly turned off Shan Ci's phone.
