Ch 35: Lu Xixiao: Miss Wen is of age? Wen Li: No, I’m rebellious; I don’t appreciate being given face.
Lu Xixiao softened his expression, but his jaw remained clenched: “This kid has been overfed since he was little and isn’t very bright, Miss Wen, don’t mind him.”
Lu Ziyan, though a bit simple-minded, was always well-behaved and obedient in front of him. What got into him today?
Wen Li calmly put a dish in her mouth: “It’s obvious, he’s not very bright.” She looked down at the little guy, “Not as smart as Jing Yuan.”
The little guy, having been praised, shyly pursed his lips.
It was unexpected that the Lu Family, so large and successful, producing talented individuals, even dogs that can do addition and subtraction, would produce such a naive and innocent fool.
Recalling Lu Ziyan’s clear and bright big eyes.
Wen Li commented: He looks naive and innocent too.
Remembering how that naive and innocent fool had seriously asked Lu Xixiao if he was a wild old sow, and Lu Xixiao’s darkened face.
Wen Li finally couldn’t suppress the corners of her mouth, and she laughed uncharitably.
She used her chopstick-holding hand to cover her mouth.
But Lu Xixiao still saw it.
He couldn’t help but mutter: “That idiot.”
Lu Qi, who was seemingly standing guard but actually eavesdropping at the door, looked curious and mouthed a question to Lu Wu standing on the other side: “What’s going on?”
Where did this ghostly sense of warmth come from? Fifth Master was taken down just like that? It doesn’t make sense, that’s Fifth Master!
After dinner,
Wen Li prepared to leave.
Lu Xixiao didn’t make any more excuses to keep her.
Wen Li looked at the one big and one small following her: “No need to see me out, Mr. Lu, please stay.”
Lu Xixiao didn’t speak, but looked down at Lu Jingyuan who was holding his hand, indicating that it wasn’t up to him.
Thus, Wen Li was sent out of the Lu Family by the two of them.
“How did Miss Wen get here? It’s not easy to hail a cab here. If you need it, I can arrange for someone to take Miss Wen back.”
Wen Li, carrying the snacks Lu Jingyuan gave her, put one hand in her pocket and said indifferently: “I drove.”
“You drove yourself?”
“Is there a problem?”
Lu Xixiao feigned ignorance: “Miss Wen is of age?”
Lu Yu’s matter had been resolved, Wen Li didn’t have a good attitude and didn’t want to talk to him, so she replied: “No, I’m rebellious.”
Hoping he would be sensible, like Lu Jingyuan, and remain quiet.
Hearing Wen Li’s utterly willful answer, Lu Xixiao was speechless, then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
“Miss Wen is quite free-spirited.”
Lu Xicheng, like Zhao Zilong possessed, carried a stick and chased Lu Ziyan in circles. Turning his head, he saw three figures in the distance and froze.
Leaving the Lu Family, Wen Li got into her car, looked at the little guy waving goodbye at the door, then glanced at Lu Xixiao.
Then she drove away.
The car headed towards the Wen Family.
When she reached the vicinity of the Wen Family, a silver seven-seater minivan was parked on the necessary road ahead.
Such a dilapidated car appearing in this wealthy district was quite abrupt. Wen Li subconsciously looked, but didn’t pay much attention.
Unexpectedly, as the distance shortened, the minivan suddenly moved, made a turn, and rushed out, directly blocking her path.
The incident happened suddenly, but Wen Li seemed to have faced this countless times, relying solely on muscle memory to step on the brakes, her emotions without the slightest fluctuation.
The other party clearly came with malicious intent.
Wen Li’s eyes were slightly cold, she was in a bad mood, and the foot that was on the brake pedal shifted to the accelerator pedal according to her inner thoughts.
Just as she was hesitating whether to accelerate and crash into them, the minivan door opened, and two burly men got out.
Wen Li sat in the car watching them walk towards her.
The car window was knocked on,
Two fierce faces appeared on either side of the car window, their strong bodies completely blocking her view.
Without giving the two men a chance to act, Wen Li directly lowered the car window.
The other party didn’t expect that in this situation, Wen Li, a girl, would dare to actively lower the car window. Was she simple-minded?
But the other party’s calm and somewhat casual expression clearly indicated otherwise, and they couldn’t help but admire her courage.
“Our boss wants to see you.”
Wen Li said: “Is he in the car?”
Instead of panicking and asking who their boss was or what they wanted, she asked if their boss was in the car.
The fixed procedure was disrupted, leaving the two burly men at a loss. After a two-second silence, they said: “Yes.”
Hearing that he was inside, Wen Li released the accelerator, opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the minivan with a leisurely pace.
The two burly men looked at each other, reacted, and quickly followed.
Wen Li got into the minivan, and the door was closed from the outside by the two burly men who followed.
The seven-seater minivan was full. Besides the two burly men guarding outside, there were five inside. In the cramped space, Wen Li was like a sheep falling into a wolf’s den.
The minivan seats had been modified, and the back two rows of seats were changed from facing forward to facing each other. Wen Li was sitting opposite three people.
The person in the middle was Tan Chengdong.
Wen Li wasn’t surprised. She kindly reminded him: “If you want to kidnap me, I suggest you bring more people.”
“Miss Wen is quite brave, more courageous than those pampered eldest misses, not at all like a country girl who hasn’t seen the world.” Tan Chengdong said in a hoarse voice, his eyes bloodshot.
Wen Li: “Don’t waste my time.”
Tan Chengdong: “Miss Wen, you should show mercy where mercy is due. I’ve apologized, and I’m willing to compensate you. You were abandoned in the countryside by Wen Baixiang, and you were finally brought back to Beijing. You have a bright future ahead of you, don’t do anything foolish.”
Show mercy where mercy is due?
If there were no surveillance, if Tan Shiyin had framed an ordinary student, what would have happened to that person?
Wen Li didn’t bother to reason with this kind of person.
Seeing Wen Li’s lack of reaction.
Tan Chengdong changed his attitude: “Although I don’t know how you, a student from the countryside who was neglected at home, managed to do this, and I don’t care what power you’ve climbed to, I only have one daughter, so even if I’m not your opponent, I will fight you to the death.”
Tan Chengdong already knew that this matter had nothing to do with Wen Baixiang, and there was no business feud, because half a month had passed since the incident, and his company was fine.
Earlier, Wen Li’s reminder that it was Wen Baixiang who did it was simply toying with him. Tan Chengdong was furious just thinking about it.
“Miss Wen, as long as you let my daughter go, you can name your conditions.”
No matter how she did it, whether it was the Song Family or someone even more powerful, he had to make her agree today.
“Take your pocket money and buy some incense to burn. Fifteen years is nothing, you should be happy.” Wen Li said expressionlessly, “If it hadn’t been in the classroom, I might have killed her.”
She spoke calmly, but it sent a chill down people’s spines, especially when they met her icy eyes.
Even Tan Chengdong, who was used to big scenes and dealing with demons and ghosts, was startled by her gaze.
Tan Chengdong’s hands on his legs tightened.
These days he had been groveling and begging everywhere, accumulating a lot of anger, and he hated Wen Li for her ruthlessness. He tried his best to restrain himself: “Miss Wen, no one has ever taught you that when you don’t have enough strength to support your actions, being too bold is not a good thing.”
Wen Li looked at him leisurely, as if saying: Try me.
Tan Chengdong’s eyes were sinister: “I came to find you today prepared for the possibility of not being able to negotiate. If my daughter doesn’t get out today, I will make you regret saying those words.”
Wen Li calmly told him: “Your daughter will never get out.”
Tan Chengdong didn’t expect that, faced with his threat, Wen Li, in a dangerous situation, would dare to say that without fear of death.
His face twisted slightly: “A young bull unafraid of a tiger, you won’t believe it until you see the coffin.” He coldly ordered: “You two, break her arm!”
He didn’t believe she wasn’t afraid of pain or death.
“You’re asking for it.”
He had humbled himself, and since soft words didn’t work, he would use force. A student, what great abilities could she have!
He had plenty of ways to make her release his daughter.
As soon as Tan Chengdong spoke, the two thugs sitting beside him immediately reached out to grab Wen Li.
