Wen Zhi saw the mess on the ground and couldn't help but close her eyes.
What on earth had she done to deserve this...
She couldn't help but think subconsciously.
If Qi Siran found out, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At six o'clock, Wen Zhi arrived by car at the familiar villa gate.
She had lost track of how long it had been since she last entered this home.
It seemed that since her release from prison, after her father met her once, he never came to see her again.
Wen Zhi couldn't help but recall what her father had said to her during their last meeting.
His tone was filled with disappointment.
After all, in a wealthy family, no rich young master or young lady had ever been to prison.
Her father, who used to dote on Wen Zhi, gradually drifted away from her.
No matter how she explained or cried and made a fuss, she couldn't win back the slightest bit of his affection.
Instead, she wore away the last bit of her father's feelings for her.
The taxi behind her drove away slowly. Wen Zhi bit her lower lip unwillingly.
Her originally rosy lips turned bloodless from this action.
She remembered the glorious days when she was the fake daughter in the Wen family.
Before, wherever she went, she was always picked up and dropped off in a private car. She would never have ended up taking this smelly taxi!
After Wen Zhi composed herself, she rang the doorbell of the villa.
The maid who came to open the door was stunned when she saw Wen Zhi.
Then she bowed to Wen Zhi somewhat awkwardly.
"Second Miss."
There was a hint of awkwardness in her voice.
After all, Wen Zhi had become the laughingstock of the Wen family.
She had even become the topic of the maids' idle chat after meals.
They were quite surprised to see Wen Zhi standing there now.
After all, the current Wen Zhi looked quite different from before.
Her once collagen - filled face had started to show signs of aging.
Yet, Wen Yin and Wen Zhi were of the same age.
The clothes she was wearing were not expensive new items but old - fashioned ones from who knew how many years ago.
The maid quickly regained her senses.
"Second Miss, the eldest young master and the eldest young lady are waiting for you inside."
It might have been her imagination, but after she said this, she clearly felt that Wen Zhi's gaze into the villa turned somewhat cold.
The moment Wen Zhi heard Wen Yin's name, she strode in haughtily.
At the dining table in the living room, the three of them were already sitting there.
When her father saw her, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
Wen Zhi couldn't help but feel a pang of desolation in her heart.
It wasn't always like this before.
Wen Zhi vaguely remembered that when Wen Yin first returned to the family, her father's love was still all on her.
Now, the past scenes flashed before Wen Zhi's eyes like a carousel, never to return.
"Back?"
Perhaps thinking of the past Wen Zhi, her father greeted her.
Wen Zhi nodded and walked over to sit beside her father.
Opposite her was Wen Yin.
The moment Wen Zhi saw her, a flash of jealousy quickly crossed her eyes.
Wen Yin's black dress tonight was quite ordinary, but Wen Zhi immediately recognized it as a new style from brand D that had just been released not long ago.
How ridiculous! Clearly, she was the real daughter who had come from the countryside before, but now she had attached herself to the best wealthy family and become a rich wife.
Meanwhile, Wen Zhi was being tortured by the so - called surprise from Wen Yin until her head ached.
"Since everyone is here, let's start eating."
Wen Zeru could already guess what was on Wen Zhi's mind from her eyes.
It was nothing but unimportant things.
Wen Zeru still remembered that Wen Zhi had always cared about such things since childhood. In the end, all she cared about were these vain illusions.
Because of what happened to the jewelry store, Wen Zhi naturally had no appetite.
Looking at Wen Yin who was just eating, she couldn't help but sneer.
"I didn't expect elder sister to still be able to eat."
As soon as Wen Zhi said this, there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
Wen Yin put down her chopsticks a few seconds later, slowly raised her eyes, and looked at her somewhat innocently.
"What do you mean, younger sister? Why should I not be able to eat?"
Wen Zhi was not afraid of falling out with her, so she decided to play the victim first.
Tears welled up in Wen Zhi's eyes in a flash.
"I know elder sister had grudges against me before, but the jewelry store I painstakingly managed was smashed by you."
"Who should I ask to compensate for those losses?"
Wen Zhi wiped her tears while speaking considerately.
"Although the amount is not large, I still don't understand why elder sister did this."
Wen Yin picked up a piece of sweet - and - sour pork tenderloin and slowly put it into her mouth.
The moment it entered her mouth, Wen Yin clearly realized that the sweet - and - sour pork tenderloin was not fried long enough.
But fortunately, it was still crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, barely edible.
"So, younger sister, do you really have to discuss these things during the meal?"
Wen Yin raised her eyes and glanced at her. There was a hint of imperceptible coldness in her gaze.
"I'd like to ask younger sister, why did you bribe the workers in my store to cause trouble for me?"
"Didn't they get your permission to secretly swap the materials, and didn't they give you a rather large sum of money?"
As Wen Yin said this, she couldn't help but pick up another piece of sweet - and - sour pork tenderloin.
"So, isn't this money just enough to make up for the loss of your jewelry store?"
Even if Wen Zeru didn't know what had happened between the two, from these simple words, he quickly sorted out the whole story.
Although Wen Zeru didn't have a good impression of Wen Zhi, he still didn't expect her to do such a shameless thing.
It made sense.
Wen Zeru recalled the past.
Wen Zhi was a selfish and vicious person.
Her father was also shocked that Wen Zhi would do such a thing.
He knew that Wen Yin now not only had Wen Zeru's support but also Shao Yinan backing her up!
This unfilial daughter was so stupid! She even took the initiative to court trouble!
Her father gave her a look, got so angry that he slammed down his chopsticks, and said nothing.
"Did you really do this?"
Wen Zeru frowned slightly, and his black eyes were filled with a solemn look.
The oppressive feeling on him made Wen Zhi out of breath, but she still forced herself to speak.
"Elder sister really misunderstood me. I didn't do this. It was Qi Siran who did it."
After Wen Zhi said this, she quickly let out a sigh of relief.
Anyway, Qi Siran wasn't present, so she might as well pin the blame on him to the end!
Moreover, this thing was clearly instigated by Qi Siran!
It seemed that she wasn't entirely wrong in saying so!
"Elder sister is taking her anger out on innocent people for her own sake..."
"My jewelry store has been smashed to pieces."
Mentioning the jewelry store, Wen Zhi started to cry again.
"I've already explained elder sister's misunderstanding of me. Since that's the case, please compensate me for the loss of my jewelry store."
Looking at Wen Zhi's self - satisfied look, Wen Yin couldn't help but sneer.
"So, you find someone to destroy my store, and I still have to compensate you?
"I didn't expect you to be so ugly but have such big dreams."
