Wen Sining was asked by the old man to sit on the sofa. The old man stood in front of her and took a picture of the scars on her face with his phone.
Although he had contacted Kang Bai some time ago, the old man also asked some dermatology experts abroad through his friends.
He went out today to meet an old comrade-in-arms and learned that his comrade-in-arms' son worked in a famous hospital abroad. He specially got the contact information, hoping to see if the scars on Wen Sining's face could be removed abroad.
After taking the picture, the old man looked at the additional scratches on her face with heartache. "Didn't they treat you well at the Wen family before?"
She couldn't fall out with the Wen family yet.
Wen Sining shook her head. "Auntie is very kind. It's just that my cousin sometimes bullies me. But they are still very good to me. After grandma left, they personally took me home to prevent me from being homeless."
Mentioning her grandma, Wen Sining really missed that seemingly poor life.
Jiang Ruanqing didn't like her grandma, so she didn't allow Wen Shiqian to take her grandma and Wen Sining home. The old woman and the little girl lived in an old house in the countryside for three years until her grandma passed away. Wen Shiqian needed Wen Sining to get the sky - high insurance policy her parents bought before they died, so he took her back from the countryside.
Wen Sining didn't know the reason for her parents' death, but she knew that Wen Shiqian must be involved in the truth.
After returning to the Wen family, although she seemed to be only nine years old, she had been secretly investigating the car accident of her parents and the whereabouts of that insurance policy.
The power of the Wen family was not as strong as before. This time, the old man personally went to the Wen family to fulfill the childhood betrothal, which also gave Wen Shiqian new hope.
Seeing Wen Sining's deep affection and loyalty, the old man was even more satisfied with her.
Back in the study, the old man called Lu Luochen.
...
"Coming so early today?"
The bartender was wiping the wine glasses. When he saw Wen Minhao coming in, he greeted him actively.
Wen Minhao threw the car keys on the bar counter and slammed his arm on the table.
"The usual?" the bartender asked.
Wen Minhao impatiently tapped his fingers on the table. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
Putting down the rag in his hand, the bartender turned around and took a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet. He poured it into the shaker, added some other seasonings, covered it and shook it vigorously.
"What happened today? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Taking the glass, Wen Minhao drank it all in one gulp, then threw the glass on the table and pushed it back to the bartender.
"One more."
The whole bottle of whiskey was finally placed beside Wen Minhao.
He drank from dawn to dusk, and the bar became lively. Wen Minhao leaned lazily against the bar, staring at the figures in the dance floor.
"Wen Sining?"
Muttering to himself, Wen Minhao pushed against the bar and staggered towards the long - haired woman with the help of the counter's reaction force.
When the bartender finished his work and came over, he saw only a set of car keys on the empty seat. Looking up, he saw Wen Minhao entangled with a woman in the crowd.
As a regular worker in the bar, he was used to it. He put away the car keys for Wen Minhao and then served other customers.
In the dance floor, the woman impatiently shook off Wen Minhao's touch. To avoid his contact, she hid from the center to the corner.
"Got you! Let me expose your hypocrisy in front of everyone." Wen Minhao pressed his palm on the woman's shoulder and dragged her out of the dance floor to the steps below.
Facing the wine - reeking Wen Minhao, the woman slapped him hard in the face. "Pervert!"
His face was turned to one side. Wen Minhao stared at her with red eyes and grabbed the woman's hair that was scattered on her shoulders.
The woman felt a sharp pain in her scalp and had to bend over and follow Wen Minhao.
"Ah～"
The screams and slaps were soon covered by the intense music in the dance floor.
People around just glanced indifferently and no one was willing to get involved.
Due to the difference in strength between men and women, Wen Minhao soon dragged the woman to an empty place.
Relying on his height, he pinned the woman under him. Squinting his eyes, he found that the woman's appearance was exactly the same as Wen Sining's. Her shivering fear stimulated Wen Minhao's possessiveness.
"Damn it! How dare you hit me." Wen Minhao lowered his head, grabbed her hair and pressed her against the wall. "Didn't expect that you were so arrogant during the day, but now you're in my hands at night."
The woman was so scared that she was stupid. Her dull eyes stared at Wen Minhao in horror.
"Speak up! Where's your sharp - tongued attitude this afternoon?" Wen Minhao slapped the woman's face and grabbed her mouth. He pinched it hard, forcing her to look up.
Tears streamed down her face. During the struggle, the strap on her shoulder slipped down to her arm. The woman was like a broken doll, crouching pitifully under Wen Minhao.
There were people coming and going around. In the chaotic bar, passers - by only thought it was their unusual fun. Besides taking a few gossiping glances, no one would step forward.
Even though the woman was tearful and pleading with passers - by, no one really cared about her needs.
"Damn it!" Wen Minhao, who couldn't get what he wanted, slapped the woman in the face again. After several slaps, the woman's face was swollen worse than a pig's head.
Blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth. When the woman saw Wen Minhao's hand reaching for her collar, she fainted in fear.
The woman fell limply to the ground. Wen Minhao lifted a leg and got off her. He squatted down and looked closely. Only then did he find that the woman he had grabbed was not Wen Sining.
He leaned weakly against the wall, rubbing his throbbing temples. He shouted at the curious passers - by. "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
People came to the bar for entertainment, and no one was bored enough to cause trouble. Some people quickly left in front of Wen Minhao and took an extra look at the woman on the ground before leaving.
At this time, in the center of the dance floor, the woman's companion who came with her was anxiously looking for her.
"Excuse me, have you seen a very beautiful girl about this tall?" The companion ran to the bar and asked the bartender.
The bartender who had served Wen Minhao thought for a while according to the girl's description. "She was just taken out by Young Master Wen."
"Young Master Wen?"
"Yes. Your friend is really lucky today. Not just anyone can catch Young Master Wen's eye. If she can become Young Master Wen's girlfriend afterwards, she can get whatever she wants."
Wen Minhao had been hanging around this bar for a long time. He was always very generous to the women he took a fancy to. Some women in the bar, because of this rumor, sometimes deliberately dressed up beautifully to appear in front of Wen Minhao.
But the woman in front of him was obviously not one of those women who wanted to get rich quickly by relying on men.
