“I’ll look for it myself!”
Yuan Muchun paused and stared at him for a long time. Her lower lip had turned pale and she was trembling visibly.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
“Cry if you want to!”
Due to the anger in his heart, he lost control of his temper.
!!
Because of his words, Yuan Muchun bit her lips even harder.
Wen Xuchen took a deep breath and left the ward.
*
Wen Xuchen didn’t look for Zhuang Chen. Instead, he went straight to the Rong family.
The ancestors of the Rong family and the Zhuang family had a red background. Later on, a junior started to explore business. Now, he had a place in Ping Cheng’s business circle.
The elders considered the Rong family and the Zhuang family’s grandchildren to be of equal status.
Zhuang Chen was good-looking and had a roguish aura. It was not surprising that Rong Wen liked him.
Ever since the two of them acknowledged this marriage, Rong Wen had been thinking of capturing the woman beside Zhuang Chen.
Zhuang Chen allowed her to grab him while she kicked up a fuss. If this one didn’t work, she would change to another one.
To put it tactfully, he was a good-for-nothing, but to be realistic, he was a real sc.u.mbag.
However, he deserved to be with a woman like Rong Wen.
Wen Xuchen grew up in the same courtyard as Zhuang Chen and the rest. They were the same age, so they naturally gathered together.
Wen Xuchen had been outside all these years, so they didn’t know much about him.
She only knew that once she returned to China, she would be the leader of the company.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Rong family’s villa. The Rong family’s old butler took a long time to recognize Wen Xuchen.
“It’s Little Wen, you’re…”
“Is Rong Wen here?”
Wen Xuchen went straight to the point. His tone was cold and his face was dark.
The butler was stunned for a moment before saying honestly, “Miss went out early in the morning and hasn’t returned yet.”
Wen Xuchen sneered, “Really? Then I’ll wait for her!”
The old butler confirmed once again that Wen Xuchen wasn’t here to visit, but to settle scores.
He invited Wen Xuchen to the living room. Someone had probably heard the commotion and came downstairs with a Yixing clay teapot in his hand. He frowned at the person downstairs and immediately beamed when he recognized Wen Xuchen.
“This is Xuchen, right?”
“Uncle Rong,” greeted Wen Xuchen expressionlessly. His cold voice made Rong Heng glance at the old butler.
Seeing the butler’s puzzled expression, he went downstairs and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”
“Sorry Uncle Rong, I’m only looking for Rong Wen today. I have something to settle with her.”
Seeing his att.i.tude, Rong Heng felt a little uneasy.
He had been an official for half his life. In the end, there was no lack of people who asked him for help.
He was used to being showered with compliments, so he was a little unsure of what would happen next.
He was afraid that this junior would not give him face.
“Xuchen, did you have a misunderstanding with Wenwen? Tell Uncle Rong first that she really caused trouble. I’ll teach her a lesson when I’m back!”
“She did cause trouble, but it’s useless for you to teach her a lesson.”
Rong Heng felt that something was amiss. “Xuchen, Wenwen has been a little spoiled all these years, but she has always followed her principles and hasn’t done anything overboard…”
“It’s her business to be spoiled. What principles she has followed and what she has done in the past have nothing to do with me. I only know that what she did today has offended me, offended my principles, and stepped on my bottom line.”
Wen Xuchen looked gentle and indifferent on the surface, without any sharp edges.
If she didn’t provoke him, she would be like a tiger cat napping during the day. Once she provoked him, he would immediately jump up and tear her apart.
The more docile a person was on the surface, the more terrifying they would be when they flared up.
Rong Heng’s face darkened. “What made you hold on to her so tightly? If it’s Wenwen’s fault, I’ll apologize to you on her behalf!”
“You can’t resolve this for her.”
The old butler was stunned and anxious as he listened.
All these years, he had never seen his master being humiliated like this.
He was still a junior.
She had never seen someone so stubborn.
At this moment, the old butler was waved over by a servant in the corner.
“What’s the matter? Can’t you see that the situation is terrible?”
“Uncle Sun, look…”
The servant whispered and handed the phone to the old butler.
“Our Miss. .h.i.t someone at the entrance of T University today and was posted online. This is probably what happened this morning…”
The butler lowered his head and clicked on the video. Although the voice was soft, the two people in the living room heard it.
“Because she’s cheap. She dared to seduce my fiancé. Can you bear the consequences?”
“You’re not familiar with him taking you to the clubhouse for coffee yesterday? Do you want me to get the surveillance footage for you?”
“Now you know how to be a coward. What were you thinking when you seduced him? Let me tell you, stay away from Zhuang Chen. If I find out again, I’ll strip you naked and beat you up!”
In the video, Yuan Muchun’s voice was very soft. Rong Wen’s voice was so clear because it was too arrogant and sharp.
Wen Xuchen only knew that Yuan Muchun had been bullied because of a misunderstanding, but he didn’t expect the scene to be so unbearable.
After being beaten up at the school entrance, she was surrounded and posted online.
Great.
When Rong Heng heard his daughter’s voice, he frowned. However, what he was thinking about now was not who Rong Wen had hit, but that Zhuang Chen had found another woman outside.
“Call Zhuang Chen over!”
The butler immediately returned the phone to the servant and called Zhuang Chen.
When Wen Xuchen saw Rong Heng’s furious expression, sarcasm flashed across his eyes.
Rong Heng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but his chest still heaved violently.
“It’s Zhuang Chen again. He’s fooling around with some indecent women…”
Wen Xuchen’s gloomy face instantly turned cold.
“An indecent woman? Uncle Rong, your daughter hit my woman today.”
Rong Heng was stunned for a moment before saying, “… Looks like there’s really a misunderstanding here.”
“I don’t care if it’s a misunderstanding. Now that she’s sent my woman to the hospital, I have to make her pay double.”
Rong Heng narrowed his eyes and his face turned cold.
“What’s wrong, Xuchen? Do you really think you can defeat me?”
“Why not?”
“You…”
“Uncle Rong, Rong Wen is your daughter, but others have no obligation to spoil her!”
It was good that Zhuang Chen was here. It would save him the trouble of looking for him.
Wen Xuchen didn’t leave and sat steadily on the sofa, as if he wouldn’t stop until he saw Rong Wen. Rong Heng was furious, but he couldn’t chase her away.
There was a long stalemate in the living room.
After some time, the roar of an engine sounded from outside.
Wen Xuchen’s face tightened and he stood up from the sofa.
The atmosphere in the living room plummeted as he stood taller.
Rong Wen walked in with her high heels and pink Birkin. She walked with her head held high and her phone pressed against her ear. There was a gloating look on her exquisite face.
“She went online? She deserves it. Who asked her to seduce Zhuang Chen and become his mistress? Let everyone see that b*tch’s face… and she’s a graduate student? Ha, that’s good. If I can let her graduate successfully, my surname won’t be Rong…”
Rong Heng racked his brains and wanted Rong Wen to admit her mistake first. If her att.i.tude was better, he could resolve the matter. In the end, he didn’t even have the chance to speak and could only watch as his spoiled daughter forced him into a corner.
“Wenwen!”
He growled angrily and Rong Wen happened to see Wen Xuchen in the living room.
She paused and stared at him for a long time before hanging up. Then, she said uncertainly,
“You’re… Wen Xuchen?”
Wen Xuchen didn’t say anything, but Rong Wen ran towards him happily.
“It’s really you. I heard that you’re back and I was thinking of getting together someday…”
Just as she was about to hug him, Wen Xuchen suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
“Let’s get together today then.”
Rong Wen suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.
“Hiss… Wen Xuchen, you’re hurting me!”
Wen Xuchen said coldly, “It hurts just like that? Why didn’t you consider the consequences when you hit her?”
Rong Wen paused for two seconds before realizing that he was referring to what had happened this morning.
“You’re here to avenge that b*tch? What do you mean by I’m thinking of the consequences? She seduced someone else’s fiancé. The consequences of being beaten today are hers!”
Rong Heng gasped in anger. “Wenwen! Shut up!”
Tears welled up in Rong Wen’s eyes. “Dad, am I in the wrong? Aren’t those cheap women the ones in the wrong? Since they’re cheap, they deserve to be beaten up! It’s good that they didn’t kill her!”
“You…”
“If you have the ability, kill whoever you want. But Rong Wen, you touched my woman today, so I can’t let you off easily.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Xuchen raised his hand and gave Rong Wen two heavy slaps on the face. Rong Wen was stunned and her calf was kicked twice.
There were hard bones under her kneecaps and kneecaps. Wen Xuchen used all his strength and Rong Wen finally screamed in pain.
“Wenwen!”
Rong Heng was also shocked by the scene in front of him, but Rong Wen’s scream pulled him back to reality.
The butler hurried over.
Wen Xuchen still gripped Rong Wen’s shoulder blades tightly, his voice cold.
“This is the consequence of hitting someone…”
“Wen Xuchen, are you crazy? Are you shameless? You actually hit a woman?!”
Rong Wen cried in anger. She had never suffered such grievances before.
“When you were committing evil deeds, you didn’t look like a woman.”
“You… Ah… Where are you taking me…”
Rong Wen cried as Wen Xuchen dragged her towards the door.
At this moment, Zhuang Chen appeared at the door. When he saw the scene before him, his face was filled with shock.
“Zhuang Chen, Zhuang Chen, save me. Wen Xuchen must be crazy…”
Zhuang Chen came back to his senses and looked at Wen Xuchen with a complicated expression. “Old Wen, that’s too much…”
Wen Xuchen looked at Zhuang Chen with an unprecedented coldness in his eyes. “Zhuang Chen, don’t beat around the bush with me. You’re so sarcastic. Didn’t you think that this would happen when you acted yesterday? Do you think that I have a good temper or that I’m stupid? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment or comfort by using your woman to vent your anger on another woman?”
“You’re also involved in this matter. I’m reminding you to take the initiative to apologize to her at the hospital, but we still have a score to settle!”
“Get lost.”
After he finished speaking, he kicked Zhuang Chen aside without even looking at his expression.
Amidst everyone’s shock, Rong Wen was dragged into the car by Wen Xuchen.
By the time everyone regained their senses, the car had already disappeared.
*
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Wen Xuchen personally dragged Rong Wen into the hospital.
That aura made the surrounding people retreat in fear.
When they reached Yuan Muchun’s ward, Wen Xuchen stopped in his tracks.
“I was wondering why you didn’t come home for two to three days. So you’re a mistress!”
“Am I short of food or clothes? I fed you well, but you became a mistress!”
“This is how you repay the Yuan family for raising you?!”
“You’ve really embarra.s.sed the Yuan family!”
“Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to embarra.s.s the Yuan family?”
“Are you deaf or mute?!”
Yuan Muchun looked coldly at the few people who had barged into the ward. Yuan Zhengrong entered angrily and scolded her.
Ye Zhiqing looked at her with an ugly and disdainful expression.
After a long while, Wen Xuchen finally heard Yuan Muchun’s low and hoa.r.s.e voice. “Since all of you have decided, what else do you want me to say? What else is there for the Yuan family to lose face for? Didn’t Yuan Sichun embarra.s.s the Yuan family long ago?”
“Your… your sister did that for the Yuan family… How much did she pay for the Yuan family? What about you?”
Yuan Muchun sneered and spoke in a flat voice.
“Yes, I deserve to be sold by her. You won’t feel embarra.s.sed marrying a fool.”
“You…”
The door to the ward was suddenly kicked open.
Everyone turned around and saw Wen Xuchen dragging a woman whose makeup had been ruined.
Then, he threw her to Yuan Muchun’s bed.
“Apologize!”
Yuan Muchun’s cold expression was replaced by surprise when she saw the woman who was lying on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Rong Wen gripped the edge of the bed tightly, her face full of humiliation. She wanted to struggle to stand up, but someone suddenly stepped on her leg.
Wen Xuchen didn’t shy away from stepping on her. His handsome face was filled with indifference.
Yuan Muchun was dumbfounded.
He was clearly dressed in a suit and looked refined and indifferent, but he did such… barbaric things.
Rong Wen’s tears flowed again.
Zhuang Chen followed closely behind.
Seeing Rong Wen being stepped on, her head hurt even more.
Ignoring the fact that there were other people in the ward, he said to Yuan Muchun,
“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have forced you to drink coffee yesterday afternoon.”
Yuan Muchun looked at him and sneered. “So, Zhuang Chen, did you really bring me to the clubhouse to drink coffee on purpose yesterday? Then, did you think that the people in the clubhouse would tell your fiancée that you brought me to drink coffee?”
Zhuang Chen looked at Yuan Muchun in surprise.
She didn’t expect this innocent and simple-minded girl to think of this.
“But I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I think. There’s no feud between us. We’ve only met twice. Why are you plotting against me?”
“Could it be because of my relations.h.i.+p with Wen Xuchen? But why? What does it have to do with you? Could it be that you like him?”
Although Yuan Muchun had seen through Zhuang Chen’s dark thoughts, this conclusion still made his lips twitch.
Wen Xuchen was also rendered speechless by this conclusion. He couldn’t help but look at Zhuang Chen’s face.
Their gazes met in the air and they immediately retracted their gazes.
Yuan Muchun almost thought that she had guessed correctly.
Rong Wen was stunned for a long time. She more or less knew that she had made a mistake today.
“Likes men?! How is that possible? I’ve been chasing and hitting the women he has slept with all these years. How can it be fake?”
The few of them looked at her speechlessly.
“Then she’s still the one drinking coffee with you! Why would a man and a woman drink coffee for no reason?! Why should I apologize…”
“I don’t like Zhuang Chen at all. No one treats him like a treasure like you do! Even if I wanted to seduce someone, I wouldn’t choose him!”
If she had said this at the school entrance today, Rong Wen wouldn’t have believed it.
But now, in front of Zhuang Chen, this woman could call him a sc.u.mbag. Even if she didn’t want to admit her mistake, she hesitated.
“You really have nothing to do with him?”
“I told you, he’s just a friend of my… friend.”
“So the friend you’re talking about is… Wen Xuchen?”
Yuan Muchun frowned and didn’t say anything. Rong Wen wiped her tears and gritted her teeth.
“I think he doesn’t just want to be your friend!”
He had beaten her up in front of her father. He had not given her any face.
Now, he had fallen out with a brother like Zhuang Chen.
How could this be an ordinary friend?
Yuan Muchun raised her head to look at Wen Xuchen, only to see him frowning at her. There was an unreadable emotion in his dark eyes.
“Rong Wen,” Wen Xuchen suddenly said and reminded her coldly, “Apologize.”
Rong Wen’s face turned pale again. Wen Xuchen seemed to have exerted more force on her legs.
“I’m sorry… I made a mistake…”
Yuan Muchun looked at Rong Wen with a complicated gaze because of Zhuang Chen.
“I’ll accept your apology, but I don’t want to forgive you. In the future, we’ll mind our own business. It’s best if we avoid each other when we meet! Also, I want you to apologize to the public. The school is waiting for news. Those things online have also affected my reputation and life…”
Rong Wen’s face contorted in anger again, but she was frightened by Wen Xuchen’s actions.
Even if she refused, he would probably drag her to apologize.
Gritting her teeth, she could only brace herself and win.
In the end, Rong Wen was taken away by Zhuang Chen. Wen Xuchen looked at Zhuang Chen with resentment.
After they left, the ward fell silent.
Yuan Zhengchong and Ye Zhiqing felt a little awkward.
However, her gaze was locked on Wen Xuchen, and her eyes were filled with calculation.
“May I ask who you are?”
“Aren’t you thinking of apologizing to her now?”
Wen Xuchen’s voice was cold and heartless. He didn’t give her a good look.
Yuan Zhengchong felt a little embarra.s.sed. “I misunderstood, but I was too concerned…”
Yuan Muchun suddenly sneered and pulled the blanket to lie on the bed.
“I don’t need your apology and I don’t want to forgive you. I hope you can use this so-called concern on Yuan Sichun.”
Yuan Zhengchong’s face trembled in anger and he questioned in a low voice, “Where have you been staying for the past few days?”
“Stop throwing a tantrum. Your family is in such a mess and you’re still causing trouble!”
“Although there was a misunderstanding this time, why would someone look for you for no reason? You have to reflect on yourself!”
“Yuan Muchun, I’m talking to you. Listen…”
“Get lost.”
It wasn’t Yuan Muchun who spoke, but Wen Xuchen, whose face had darkened.
