The new product launch event was already halfway through. Everyone was networking, looking for potential business partners.
Xiao Mo sat there blankly on the sofa, almost crushing the red - wine glass in his hand.
Wen Zhi.
Wen Zhi...
Perhaps the embarrassed and crazy look Wen Zhi had just now had stabbed Xiao Mo's eyes. For a moment, he was simply in disbelief.
The once high - and - mighty, gentle and delicate white - flower-like Wen Zhi would actually do such a thing.
Such despicable means. Weren't these exactly what Wen Zhi used to hate the most?
So which Wen Zhi was the real one?
There was no shortage of gossip at the scene. With just a bit of eavesdropping, Xiao Mo learned that the new product Wen Yin had been working hard on for half a month had been mercilessly cut into pieces like rags.
Combined with Wen Zhi's crazy words just now, Xiao Mo instinctively associated it with Wen Zhi.
It was Wen Zhi who had sabotaged Wen Yin's carefully prepared designs.
The moment he realized this, Xiao Mo felt as if something in his heart was crashing down.
The smiling girl who had saved him seemed to shatter into pieces at this very moment.
Xiao Mo just couldn't figure it out.
What on earth had led Wen Zhi to this point?
When they first met, she was so gentle and kind.
That was why she had reached out to help a stranger like him without hesitation, risking her own life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo involuntarily tightened his fists.
Let's just say that the Wen Wen in his heart had died that year.
The current Wen Zhi was mean and stubborn. There was not a trace of her former self left.
---
Wen Zhi was taken to the police station for deliberately damaging someone else's property.
When Wen Yin and Shao Yinan arrived, she was making a statement.
When Wen Zhi saw Wen Yin, hatred flared up in her eyes again. It seemed that she still blamed Wen Yin.
Shao Yinan sneered.
"She won't give up until she hits rock bottom."
"Wen Yin, don't get too smug. Dad will come and get me out soon!"
Even through the iron bars, Wen Zhi had no trouble hurling threats at Wen Yin.
"So what if you've achieved a little? Dad will always love only me!"
Wen Zhi almost growled these words.
"You, Wen Yin, will always be the one no one wants.
You were in the past, and you still are now!"
If it had been in the past, Wen Zhi's words would have pierced Wen Yin's heart like knives.
But now, Wen Yin felt nothing.
She even found Wen Zhi extremely ridiculous.
She didn't need the false love from Father Wen.
Shao Yinan let out a soft laugh.
"The one no one wants?"
He savored these words carefully, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Shao Yinan reached out his big hand and pulled Wen Yin tightly into his arms.
He slowly lifted his thin, pale eyelids. There was a glint of coldness in his deep, black peach - blossom eyes.
He looked like a fierce beast, ready to devour anyone in an instant.
"Wen Zhi, who are you calling the one no one wants?"
Shao Yinan's tone was ice - cold, and his aura was so powerful that it sent shivers down one's spine.
"If you think the Wen family has the ability to bail you out, feel free to try."
Shao Yinan squinted his cold eyes slightly.
"But unfortunately, I'll be here to see it through.
So let's just wait and see."
There was too much of a threat in Shao Yinan's words.
Wen Zhi suddenly began to doubt herself. She bit her lips.
Shao Yinan had the entire Shao family behind him.
Could Dad really bail her out?
At that moment, Wen Zhi began to doubt her own words.
But she didn't want to lose face in front of Wen Yin.
"Wen Zhi, you're the one no one wants."
Wen Yin's rosy lips parted slightly.
The light above cast a beautiful glow on her lips, making them glisten.
The coldness on her body was no less than Shao Yinan's. The smile on her lips was full of mockery.
"All you have is the false love from your so - called father.
You're just a tool to maintain the Wen family's reputation. Guess what will happen when Brother comes back..."
"How much time do you think Dad will still spend on you?
A fake daughter and a real young master. Which one do you think our dear father will choose?"
Wen Yin's words stirred up the deepest fear in Wen Zhi's heart.
Wen Zhi's face almost contorted. She let out a shrill scream and tried to stand up to tear at Wen Yin.
But her movements were restricted.
Wen Yin hooked her lips and walked out with Shao Yinan.
The only thing that remained behind was Wen Zhi's continuous screams.
"Ahhhhhh—Wen Yin! I'll kill you—"
Wen Zhi's shrill screams kept coming.
After hearing what she said, Shao Yinan's eyes were like pools of thick ink that couldn't be dispersed.
Don't worry. You won't get the chance.
Shao Yinan's eyes were sharp as he pulled Wen Yin out.
Wen Zhi screamed herself hoarse and then slumped weakly onto the chair.
She vaguely remembered that a long, long time ago.
She seemed to have had a dream.
In the dream, Wen Zhi was the one who was the center of attention.
While Wen Yin was so humble that she was like dust, being mocked and teased by Xiao Mo and Jiang Shihuai.
In the end, she died at the hands of Wen Zhi's crazy fans.
It was because of that dream that Wen Zhi had dared to string along three men at the same time.
She had recklessly enjoyed their love.
But now, everything had gone wrong.
She didn't know when it started, but Wen Yin had slipped out of her control.
The one who had been hysterically begging them to come back had actually become herself.
Now she was even facing the risk of jail time at any moment.
"No, it can't be... "
Just thinking about the ruthless methods of the Shao family, a wave of fear welled up in Wen Zhi's heart.
"This isn't real. It can't be!"
Wen Zhi tried to struggle free, but the well - prepared policemen grabbed her and pressed her down. Then she was taken away.
"Please contact your family and discuss a solution with the reporting party to see if you want to settle it privately or through legal means."
But Wen Zhi's mind was in a daze. She didn't hear what the policeman was saying at all.
Outside the police station.
As night fell, the air was filled with a chill. Goosebumps appeared on Wen Yin's arms.
The next second, she was enveloped in a warm, fragrant embrace.
The unique scent of Shao Yinan brought Wen Yin an overwhelming sense of peace.
"Let's go home."
Shao Yinan took Wen Yin's cold fingertips and rubbed them gently.
He wanted to pass his warmth to her.
Wen Yin nodded slightly. Her beautiful eyes were bright, as if they reflected thousands of stars.
"Thanks to you tonight, A Yin. Otherwise, Shaohua would have suffered a great loss."
Shao Yinan ruffled her soft hair, his eyes full of affection.
He hadn't expected that Wen Zhi would follow Wen Zeru in and damage Wen Yin's designs.
Wen Yin had a faint smile on her lips.
"It's nothing. I've disliked that wedding dress for days.
I guess it's just a happy accident that it's been taken care of."
