Chapter 2183: The Culprit
Wan Dou looked at Li Hou carefully. He knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Wen family, but he still called her Miss Wan Dou. At least it showed that he still did not take her seriously.
“Where’s Princ.i.p.al Wen? Why isn’t he here?”
“Oh, sir is flying abroad for an exchange meeting today. He can’t leave, so he arranged for me to come over.”
Wandou remembered that Wen Zhehan was drunk last night. She felt that Wen Zhehan might not have flown abroad. He might still be drunk and had only arranged for the butler to pick her up. It should be Li Meien’s idea.
Because she had already offended Li Meien and Wen s.h.i.+yu, she had to make the most of herself.
As a daughter who had “come back from the dead”, being taken back by her father was different from being taken back by the butler.
At the very least, she could let everyone in the Wen family know of her position in Wen Zhehan’s heart. She could also intimidate them in the future.
“Since the Wen family wants to take me back, you should at least show some sincerity. If it wasn’t for Princ.i.p.al Wen coming personally, I wouldn’t have gone back. Since he has already left the country, let’s wait until he returns.”
Wan Dou immediately dismissed Li Hou.
As expected, Li Meien was the one who had asked the butler to pick up Wan Dou. She had arranged for the butler to pick her up before her husband woke up.
Firstly, she wanted to make a good impression in front of her husband. Secondly, she wanted to give Wandou a show of strength and let her know her own worth.
However, Li Hou went back and told her everything that had happened. Not only did he distort the truth, but he even exaggerated Wan Dou’s description of her being arrogant and rude. It made Li Meien hate Wan Dou even more.
In fact, no one knew that Li Hou was the culprit behind the premature death.
He loved Li Meien and helped Li Meien get rid of all troubles for her. He helped Li Meien successfully marry into the Wen family. He had relied on Li Meien for so many years and Li Hou had also gotten a lot of benefits from the Wen family.
They were birds of a feather.
“How dare you be so arrogant! You’re just a stray. What are you being so arrogant for?”
Wen s.h.i.+yu said angrily.
“That’s enough, Xiaoyu!”
In front of the butler, Li Mei’en scolded his daughter and stopped her from saying anything that would make her lose her status. “Fine, why don’t we let Zhehan pick her up personally?”
Wen s.h.i.+yu did not agree. “Mother! Are you crazy? How could you let Father pick her up personally? Who does she think she is?”
“No matter what, she is still your sister!”
Li Mei’en warned his daughter with his eyes not to forget the elegance and poise of a princess.
“I don’t have that kind of sister!” Wen s.h.i.+yu scolded.
“All right, go back to your room. Stop talking!”
Seeing Wen Zhehan coming down from upstairs, Li Meien quickly urged her daughter to go back in case her husband heard those words.
Wen Zhehan had drunk too much last night and had slept in the morning. He had just woken up and heard the commotion downstairs.
“What happened?”
He went up to her and saw his daughter walking away angrily. He then asked his wife.
“Oh, Zhehan, it’s like this. Didn’t we agree to bring Doudou back today? I saw that you were drunk, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer. That’s why I arranged for the butler to bring someone to fetch Doudou. But Doudou said that the butler was not sincere enough. I was just thinking if I should go and invite her back.”
Li Meien had deliberately said that to make Wen Zhehan despise Wan Dou’s character.
