"Stupid girl!" Jiang Ruanqing kicked out at her. But just as her foot was about to touch the girl's stomach, reason kicked in and she stopped herself in time.
She'd almost made a big mistake.
With a mixture of disgust and fake doting, Jiang Ruanqing stroked her forehead and lectured her, "Look at how you've made me lose my temper. Get up quickly. I've got something important to tell you."
"What's so important?"
Jiang Ruanqing rolled her eyes and got straight to the point. "It's about your cousin. Didn't I tell you last time to go back and ask Lu Luochen to give your cousin a manager position in the company? Did you say anything to him?"
Wen Sining shook her head. "I forgot."
Jiang Ruanqing felt her anger rise to her head. She swallowed hard and patiently told her again, "You go back later and tell old Mr. Lu. He dotes on you so much. He'll definitely agree to your request."
Doting was one thing, but no one was stupid enough to hire an incompetent person into the company and ruin its reputation.
Wen Sining just stood there in silence.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Ruanqing patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Do you understand or not?"
"Does cousin want to? The company is really busy. Lu Luochen goes to work early and comes back late every day. If cousin goes to the company, he won't have time to drink or gamble." Every word Wen Sining said showed her concern for Wen Minhao.
But her words made Jiang Ruanqing feel embarrassed. In her eyes, Wen Minhao was perfect in every way, except for these two bad habits that gave her a huge headache.
"Dead girl, when I ask you to do something, why do you talk so much? Or do you just not want to do it?"
"I didn't say I didn't want to."
Wen Sining rubbed the spot on her shoulder where Jiang Ruanqing had patted her, looking aggrieved.
"Then don't you forget again." Fearing that Wen Sining wouldn't know how to put it, Jiang Ruanqing even wrote down exactly what to say on a piece of white paper.
When Wen Sining left the Wen family's house and saw a trash can, she tore up the paper without a second thought and threw it into the trash.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Wen Minhao, who was just coming back. As if he'd caught her red - handed, Wen Minhao pounced on the trash can like a hungry man on a piece of treasure.
Hearing the noise, Wen Sining instinctively stepped aside. By accident, her out - stepped foot landed right in front of Wen Minhao.
Clang!
Wen Minhao fell flat on the ground, his head hitting the trash can.
"Mommy, cousin, when did you learn the iron - head kung fu?" Wen Sining stared at Wen Minhao, who was sprawled out on the ground, with a look of surprise on her face.
His head was buzzing from the impact, but thinking that he'd soon expose her true colors, Wen Minhao immediately got up from the ground and righted the trash can he'd knocked over.
"You just wait and see how my mom deals with you later."
The trash can was so dirty, but Wen Minhao was really willing to go all out to expose her.
He rolled up his sleeves and plunged his hands into the trash, pulling out all the useless stuff. Soon, the stinky trash was piled up on the ground, and the stench spread instantly.
Wen Sining frowned and looked at Wen Minhao with disgust. "Cousin, are you going to become a beggar?"
As she spoke, she clicked her tongue a few times and looked at his dirty, black hands with contempt.
Wen Minhao ignored her sarcasm for the moment. His mind was full of that piece of paper. After rummaging around for a long time and not finding it, he angrily turned the trash can over. All the trash inside tumbled out.
The paper was lying under a pile of rotten vegetables. The words on it were already illegible.
"Mom, Mom, come out quickly!"
"What's the hurry!"
Jiang Ruanqing was called out by Wen Minhao. Seeing Wen Sining still standing at the door and not leaving, she asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Wen Sining's tears flowed like a faucet.
"Cousin tore up the paper you gave me."
"Mom, she tore it up and threw it into the trash can. I saw it with my own eyes. In order to let you see her true colors, I rummaged through the trash can at all costs to find it."
Wen Minhao held up the paper full of acid - smelling liquid high. His dirty hands were already attracting stinky flies. The flies buzzed around him.
Jiang Ruanqing covered her nose daintily. "Alright, it's so dirty. Throw it away quickly."
"No, this is the evidence. Stupid girl isn't stupid at all. She's just pretending." As Wen Minhao spoke, he tried to step forward and tear off the scar on Wen Sining's face.
How could Wen Sining give him a chance? Seeing his move, she immediately fled behind Jiang Ruanqing.
"Wen Sining, come out!"
Jiang Ruanqing was being pulled back and forth by Wen Sining, and Wen Minhao was hovering in front of her with that stench. In no time, she felt dizzy.
"Enough! Both of you stand still!"
Wen Sining timidly looked at Wen Minhao, while Wen Minhao glared at her fiercely.
"Where's the paper I gave you?" Jiang Ruanqing asked seriously.
Wen Sining sniffed. Her hand that was hanging down lifted slightly and then timidly dropped back. "Aunt told me to memorize the content on it well. As soon as I went out, I forgot a bit, so I took it out to have another look. As soon as cousin came over, he snatched it away and tore it up. I hadn't memorized it yet, so I wanted to grab it back. Then cousin threw it into the trash can. I told him it was from you, so he rummaged through the trash can to pick it up."
"Bullshit. You're talking nonsense." Wen Minhao quickly retorted.
Jiang Ruanqing trusted Wen Sining in her heart. She slapped Wen Minhao on the head. "You stupid boy. Don't you know how much I've worried about your affairs? But you're causing trouble behind my back. Go back and wash up quickly. You stink."
"Mom, she's lying to you. It was clearly her who tore it up and threw it into the trash can. I rummaged through the trash can just to let you see her true colors." Wen Minhao still tried to prove to Jiang Ruanqing what he'd seen.
Saying the same things over and over again, Jiang Ruanqing urged Wen Sining to go back quickly and finish what she'd been told to do. On this side, she grabbed Wen Minhao's clothes and dragged him into the house to take a bath.
On the way, Wen Minhao was still explaining, but Jiang Ruanqing just brushed him off.
Little brat, trying to fight with her!
Wen Sining patted the invisible dust on her body.
"Mom, that stupid girl is really lying to us. There's no scar on her face at all. And the stupid act she puts on. In fact, she's really smart."
"How much have you been drinking lately?"
"Not much."
Jiang Ruanqing pretended to kick at him and scolded him fiercely, "Not much? If it's not much, how can you talk such nonsense? If I hear you spouting such nonsense again, you'll see how I'll teach you a lesson. If she were smart, she wouldn't have been bullied by us for so many years."
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Still spouting nonsense?"
Seeing that Jiang Ruanqing was really angry, and mainly because he couldn't stand the smell on himself anymore, Wen Minhao gave up for the moment.
A short - term give - up didn't mean permanent ignorance. He wasn't going to give up.
Seeing him go upstairs, Jiang Ruanqing leaned on the sofa, feeling a splitting headache. She moaned and staggered over to sit on the sofa.
Thinking about the paper she'd given Wen Sining being destroyed, she started to regret letting her go so soon.
"I wonder if that girl can remember?" Jiang Ruanqing looked up worriedly out of the window.
