Hua Xiaochun, who was beside her, noticed her nervousness and thought she was afraid of getting scolded again at home. He held her hand and said, "Don’t be afraid. I’m here. If your parents scold you like they did at the police station, I’ll take you away!"
Yue Wenwen shook her head, not revealing what she was truly afraid of.
The two of them took the elevator upstairs, and as soon as they stepped out, they saw the door to the house open. Yue Wenwen led Hua Xiaochun inside.
The mother, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately spoke gently when she saw Yue Wenwen return, "Wenwen, you’re back! Who is this?"
Hua Xiaochun quickly introduced himself again, "Auntie, my name is Hua Xiaochun, I’m Wenwen’s boyfriend."
He and Wenwen had been together for over a year. Wenwen had also mentioned him to her parents on the phone. He had even introduced himself at the police station earlier, yet they still didn’t know who he was? It showed just how little they cared about him!
No, it should be that they didn’t care about Wenwen!
Since they didn’t care about Wenwen, why were they being so gentle with her now?
Hua Xiaochun maintained his composure and introduced himself with a smile.
Mother Yue listened and smiled, "So you’re Wenwen’s boyfriend! I haven’t met you before. You should come over often and visit!
You know there’s some family matter today, and I’d like to speak with Wenwen, so we won’t keep you this time. Please come another day for dinner!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaochun looked at Yue Wenwen, who softly said, "Xiachun, why don’t you head back first."
Hua Xiaochun felt uneasy, but since they were already being asked to leave, and there was no yelling or hitting, he had no reason to take Yue Wenwen away.
Left with no choice, Hua Xiaochun had to leave. Yue Wenwen walked him to the door, and before leaving, Hua Xiaochun worriedly reminded her, "Call me if anything comes up, okay?"
Yue Wenwen nodded, "Got it. You should go get some rest! You haven’t rested well these past few days running around with me."
Hua Xiaochun smiled, "It’s no big deal, we’re used to it from those hospital shifts without rests!"
They wanted to talk more, but Mother Yue called for Wenwen, so Yue Wenwen waved to Hua Xiaochun and closed the door, returning to sit beside her mother.
Hua Xiaochun stared at the closed door, still uneasy, so he didn’t leave immediately. He sat on the ground, waiting.
Yue Wenwen sat down next to Mother Yue and smiled, asking, "Mom, where’s Dad?"
Mother Yue chuckled, "Your dad’s in the study. A business partner just called. You know with your brother’s incident, our family business will be affected too."
In the study, Yue Father and a man in a suit were seated in front of the computer, watching the screen displaying Mother Yue and Yue Wenwen in the living room.
Yue Father turned to the man, "Lawyer Yu, as long as we prove Zhiyuan has a mental illness, can you get him out?"
Lawyer Yu nodded, "As long as your wife can lead Yue Miss to say your son has long had mental problems and due to these problems he hit her, I’ll get a proof from a related hospital, then I am confident I can get him out."
Yue Father frowned, "But if we do this, Zhiyuan’s reputation will be ruined. Isn’t there another way?
Isn’t there a way to save him while preserving his reputation?"
Lawyer Yu scoffed, "President Yue, does your son still have a reputation?
From what I know, the evidence against your son is irrefutable, and if nothing is done, his reputation is the least of the worries.
If we don’t quickly think of a strategy, even saving him this way might be impossible.
President Yue, isn’t it better if his reputation is tarnished?
I know your eldest son is not related to you by blood, but he has been managing your business for years. He has talent, but what about your younger son?"
Would you really be willing to leave all the family assets to this unrelated eldest son?
Actually, this situation is the best. Considering the years of your father-son relationship, you save him. After saving him, despite his tarnished reputation, you can arrange work for him.
He has the capability to manage affairs, which is no problem. With a tarnished name, he’s no threat to your younger son.
The company’s future is with your younger son, yet the one working hard is your eldest son. Isn’t this outcome good?"
Yue Father’s expression shifted slightly. It had to be said that Lawyer Yu’s every word hit home.
Was he kind to Gu Zhiyuan? Yes! Did he love him? He did!
But no matter how well he treated Gu Zhiyuan, it couldn’t trump the weight of his younger son in his heart.
The previous favoritism shown over his younger son was merely to hope Gu Zhiyuan could bring more benefits and expand the business.
Yue Father wasn’t someone capable; opening a few restaurants was a feat for him. Now, Yue Family’s dining business was all established by Gu Zhiyuan.
For Gu Zhiyuan’s capability, Yue Wen was willing to treat him well, but to put him over his biological son, Yue Wenjie, was impossible!
Gu Zhiyuan actually knew this very well, so he would target Yue Wenwen because she was a girl, yet in front of Yue Wenjie, he absolutely maintained the image of a good brother!
If he dared treat Yue Wenjie like Yu Wenwen, he would have been expelled from the Yue family before having the ability to stand his ground!
Yue Father contemplated, considering his motivation behind the effort to save Gu Zhiyuan wasn’t just for the wife’s sake—since Mother Yue was Gu Zhiyuan’s biological mother and naturally wanted to save her son—but more so for Gu Zhiyuan’s ability. Without him, Yue Father feared the company would collapse!
Without the fear of the company failing, honestly, Yue Father might not be so invested in saving him.
Now, according to Lawyer Yu’s analysis, saving him to manage the company, and having leverage on him, was indeed the best outcome!
If not for this incident, even after Wenjie graduates and takes over, it might not have been so smooth!
Once in power, few are willing to relinquish it. Having leverage, Gu Zhiyuan would have no choice but to hand it over!
Thinking about it, Yue Wen chuckled, "Lawyer Yu is right, I wasn’t thinking thoroughly. For Zhiyuan, I’ll trouble you."
Lawyer Yu chuckled, nodding with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes as he looked down...
In the living room, Yue Wenwen was unaware someone was watching her every move, recording her every word. She was happily soaking in the warmth from her mother. Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Wenwen, I’m sorry. Before, when you told me your brother hit you and bullied you, I thought it was just childish fights and scolded you for being naughty.
Mom didn’t realize how much you’ve suffered over the years.
Wenwen, tell me, when did your brother start hitting you? Did he hit hard?
Are these injuries on you also from your brother?"
Yue Wenwen nodded, remembering the grievances over the years, she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing...
