Chapter 14: The Guilty Party Files The Suit
Ye Wanwan appeared at the foyer just as Liu Shuying was about to dial her number.
She walked in with her head lowered and said with a choked voice, "Grandma Wen, Mom, Ruanruan."
Wen Ruan smirked in her heart.
All throughout her childhood, Liu Shuying had taught Wen Ruan that she didn't have to pretend to be demure like those rich young ladies. She told her to live her life as wantonly as she wished.
In the end, Wen Ruan became the brainless rich girl while her own daughter was the modest young lady in others' eyes.
In the past, Wen Ruan had really treated Ye Wanwan like her elder sister and shared every good thing she had, with her. She never realized that a human could be so greedy and vicious.
"Why are you pretending to cry the moment you get back?" Old Mrs. Wen had no gentle emotions when she faced Ye Wanwan.
Her adorable granddaughter had been led astray by this pair of mother-and-daughter!
Ye Wanwan lifted her fair fingers to dab the tears on her face as she said in an aggrieved yet controlled manner, "Grandma Wen, I don't know how did I make Ruanruan angry. She dumped me at the school gate and didn't let me take the car back together with her."
Old Mrs. Wen hugged Wen Ruan. She simply couldn't stand Ye Wanwan's pretentious act. "That is the car that I gave to my little precious. She can give a ride to whoever she likes. It's not a big deal. Why do you have to complain about her?"
Both Ye Wanwan and Liu Shuying had a slight change in their expressions.
Liu Shuying hated Old Mrs. Wen the most in the Wen Family as she was completely biased.
"Old Madam, this is not fair. Jinzhang had agreed to let Wanwan and Ruanruan take the same transport to and from the school."
Old Mrs. Wen frowned and was about to make a comment when Wen Jinzhang came down from the study which was located on the second floor.
Wen Jinzhang was not even 40 years old yet. He was tall, gentlemanly and had a refined, educated presence.
"Ruanruan and Wanwan are back."
Wen Ruan turned around to look at Wen Jinzhang and her eyes reddened uncontrollably. "Dad."
Ye Wanwan saw that Wen Ruan was about to cry and thought she was going to complain first so she decided to cry first. "Uncle Wen."
Although Ye Wanwan wasn't Wen Jinzhang's biological daughter, she had always been a good student, polite and well-mannered. Hence, Wen Jinzhang doted on her generously.
As for Wen Ruan, Wen Jinzhang, loved her as well. However, the girl wasn't obedient so he became disappointed with her gradually, over the time.
"What's going on? Why are both the girls crying?"
Liu Shuying walked to Wen Jinzhang and held onto his arm as she said gently, "It's nothing serious. Ruanruan didn't wait for Wanwan to come home together after school. Wanwan only asked Ruanruan about the reason and the girl began to cry."
Right after that, Liu Shuying said, "Wanwan, apologize to Ruanruan. The car is assigned to Ruanruan by Old Madam. She has the right to decide if she wants to let you ride along or not!"
Wen Ruan looked at Liu Shuying who was smiling treacherously, pretending to be protecting her, while in fact, she was sabotaging her. She lowered her eyelashes and a cold gleam flashed across her eyes.
Wen Jinzhang was always a fair person. Since he had accepted Liu Shuying and Ye Wanwan into the family, he naturally treated them as his own. In his eyes, Wen Ruan refusing to let Ye Wanwan board the car with her equated to going against him.
"Ruanruan, did you throw a tantrum again? You are in the wrong today. It should be you who should be apologizing, not Wanwan!"
Old Mrs. Wen hugged Wen Ruan protectively in her arms and stared at Wen Jinzhang furiously. "You already judged Ruanruan when she hasn't even explained herself. Is this how you behave like a father?"
Wen Jinzhang furrowed his brows, "Mom, you can't indulge the child like this. See how you have spoiled her."
