Crossing the line

Chapter 52 Wen Yangzhi's Wife
He leaned back in his chair, his shoulders were slightly broader than the back of the chair, and he looked sexy even in his pajamas, with two buttons casually undone. The muscles in his neck flowed all the way down, his collarbone was clearly visible, and he had a decadent and careless handsomeness.

Wen Yangzhi looked at her without any concern, just indifferently: "What else do you have? Just scold her all at once."

She never thought he would actually do it. Although she wasn't very resistant, she felt a little embarrassed: "Why are you touching me so casually?"

Wen Yangzhi picked up the chopsticks again and gently pushed the tip of the chopsticks against the bottom of the bowl, leveling them without making any sound. His movements were graceful and calm, but his voice was always distant: "Didn't you say you wanted it?"

"I didn't say I wanted it now," she muttered.

He slowly picked up the food and put it in her bowl, but he didn't look at her, and said coldly: "Don't tell me next time."

Seeing that he was picking up food for himself, Yun Yuwan seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but he was not angry at all.

She lowered her voice:

"Why can't I tell you?"

Wen Yangzhi's tone was not frivolous at all, but rather normal and nonchalant: "I would give it to you if you asked me, I thought you really needed it."

She suddenly stopped all thoughts of arguing with him. It wasn't that he ignored her wishes, but that he gave it to her just because she said so.

He never ignored any of her requests, even if the request sounded unreasonable and she thought it was a joke to tease him, he would listen to it.

Yun Yuwan's heart felt like a cold hand placed close to a fireplace; it began to warm and the snowflakes melted.

My brother actually loves her very much.

Wen Yangzhi still had a calm expression as he sat quietly. His posture and demeanor still made people dare not offend him. He was very relaxed, but his inherent dignity was revealed naturally.

She felt that he was like a cup of Xijianchunsnow, green in color, with clear and bright tea soup and a long-lasting fragrance. It was served in expensive Sui Dynasty white porcelain and had a historical heritage. It was the one that everyone knew about from the book "Chuzhou Xijian", which was the background of his origin. Such a person would treat her differently.

As long as she opens her mouth...

From childhood to adulthood, Yun Yuwan had never heard such words.

She wants a lot of things, she wants unique care, passionate kisses, flowers and gifts, and she wants to feel that someone loves her every moment.

She desperately wanted to be an indispensable part of someone, rather than being insignificant to anyone in this world, and that they would not lose anything if she died because there was no place for her in their lives.

After her parents passed away, she no longer had a place in the world.

She desperately wanted to be important and special to someone.

Instead of being like this for so long, even if she died, it was certain that her aunt and uncle would not be sad, because she was not an important person to them, and she had never existed in the position of a daughter.

Lin Chu might be sad for a while, but she would gradually forget about it, because Lin Chu had too many friends and was the center of attention. She even thought about her cousin who was so sick that she was dying and couldn't speak, her childhood neighbors and playmates, and the snail noodle maker she met in London.

The only conclusion we can draw is that she is dead, and the saddest person might be Yang Ni.

Because Yang Ni was the person who loved her the most and had always been very caring towards her.

She didn't even dare to imagine that Wen Yangzhi would care about her life or death.

Because to him, she was just a sister who was fostered in the Wen family. Although she was raised by the Wen family for a few years, she had no relationship with the family at all. She was not adopted and was not on the same household registration book.

Apart from taking care of her in the past few years, there was really no relationship between them. It was shameless for her to still stay in the Wen family after she became an adult. If Zhao Qin hadn't called her several times to ask her when she would be back, she wouldn't have dared to go back to the Wen family during the holidays.

To say that she is his sister is actually to marry above her station.

As the younger sister of the eldest son of Wen's Bank, she had no idea how many levels she had climbed. She had become a role that she would never have been able to achieve in her entire life.

I dare not even think about dating him.

Yun Yuwan looked into his eyes, and for a moment her eyes felt hot as if they were being heated by steam.

Feeling that she is becoming an important part of someone, even the slightest sign of it is enough to make her happy.

Wen Yangzhi's wife, perhaps she is now confirming this status. She didn't expect that he would care so much about every word she said.

Yun Yuwan sat over and rested her head on Wen Yangzhi's arm. Wen Yangzhi had some difficulty holding the chopsticks, but he didn't say anything to her.

Yun Yuwan felt warm. She could stick to him so unrestrainedly without worrying about being driven away, or feeling helpless and uneasy. He was willing to pamper her.

My brother would never chase her away.

He suddenly said, "It's late."

She looked up at him, her deer eyes were misty, like a mountain mist that permeated the lush and lively forests. The clear light of water and the innocence of the little animal appeared in her eyes at the same time, as well as the emotion of believing that the person in front of her must love her very much.

He was indifferent and didn't look at her: "I'll take you back later."

She felt weightless as if she had fallen from a branch: "Why?"

I clearly said that I would stay here with him later.

Wen Yangzhi looked at her, and when he lowered his eyes slightly, she felt that his thick black eyelashes were so soft and straight like a baby's eyelashes, which was different from his cold and hard temperament, but at this moment they seemed to be supporting a thin layer of frost:

"Not now. My dad will talk to you about the trust tonight."

Trust...

Yun Yuwan felt a little bit unbelievable, and her voice trembled like a white pheasant after flying off a branch:
"Trust? For me?"

He responded: "Yeah."

Although she was flattered, she couldn't believe it: "But I just..."

She is just a child fostered in the Wen family and a good friend of Uncle Wen. Why should the Wen family's property be given to her?
If she heard news outside that a certain relative's daughter, who was fostered in her home, had lived in her home for a few years and was now asking for her family's property, she would think that this daughter had taken over her family's property and was already grateful for having been taken care of for a few years, but she was treating other people's money as her own. This was too vicious and ungrateful, and she was not a human being.

When it was her turn, it was Uncle Wen and the others who took the initiative to propose it. She felt happy but also hard to believe.

Wen Yangzhi said calmly: "From the moment you were taken to the Wen family, my father decided to take responsibility for you. He and your mother have a life-long friendship, but you don't know it."

Yun Yuwan had never heard of this. She simply thought that they were just friends. She said that her mother was indebted to Uncle Wen, and it might just be a side job promotion, so that she became an orphan, and Uncle Wen would be a little bit upset. So she lived in the Wen family, and she never dared to ask for anything, and she never dared to say anything. She felt that she was holding on to this thin favor to let others take care of her, which was a bit like moral kidnapping. Once she caused too much trouble and made her uncle and aunt feel troublesome, and that she was not as easy to raise as they imagined, they would throw her back.

Now tell her that her existence is not as fragile as she imagined. It is even so important that her uncle will treat her as his own daughter, give her property, and set up a trust for her.

She actually had a feeling that she was very stupid. She had always had a place in this family.

She is not dispensable, and Uncle Wen may even treat her as his goddaughter.

Her position was closer to that of an adopted daughter rather than a friend's daughter who happened to stay with her.

Yun Yuwan was dazzled for a moment, and couldn't believe that her position had changed so easily, from being a dependent to being cared for. Her voice was calm, but she was actually about to cry: "Uncle has rarely communicated with me, and I thought he didn't like me..."

I didn't expect that I liked her so much and cared for her so much.

Wen Yangzhi put down his chopsticks and said lazily, "There's no need to worry about whether he likes you or not. You don't even like him, so there's no need to worry about his opinion."

She quickly explained: "I didn't dislike my uncle. In fact, I just wanted to get along well with him... When my uncle took me home, he also handled the inheritance for me and asked people to protect me. Those relatives stopped forcing me to bully me. I thought I had a father again..."

As a result, after Uncle Wen took her home, he hardly took care of her anymore, making her feel like she had fallen from a tall building.

At that time, she was coerced by her relatives. Almost all of her relatives, including her aunts and uncles, stayed at her house all day long, claiming to be taking care of her who had no parents. In fact, they asked her every day how many properties her parents had, how much liquid capital the company had, and whether her mother had ever taken money from others.

They asked her to take her parents' household registration booklet and ID card so that they could help her register her death and cancel her household registration. She knew it was a scam.

They must have taken the documents to transfer her parents' property.

They lived in her house every day, stared at her day and night, and even suddenly grabbed her clothes and asked, "How much is your skirt and what size is it?" They would take her limited edition dolls and say, "Your cousin is just old enough to play with this," and then take them away. They almost emptied the house.

If she tried to stop them from moving and forcibly dragged them away, they would grab her, press her to the ground, and say they were doing this for your own good.

It's a bullshit for her own good.

It was her father's favorite fountain pen, the treasured ancient books, the jade Guanyin that her mother would see every day when she came home, the antique lamp on the desk, and the twenty-year-old mahogany cabinet as a dowry.

It was no use for her to scream and cry, and even if she called the police, they would distort the facts in front of the police, saying bad things about her, saying that her parents had not taught her well, and that these things were what her parents had said they would give them when they were alive, and that she, a little girl who knew nothing, framed them.

The police can only try to smooth things over when it comes to family matters.

Even as soon as the police left, they slapped her in the face and said she was ungrateful and had no manners.

She suffered too much from the cold stares, curses and beatings. She woke up in tears every day. They even threw away the portraits of her parents, saying that it was unlucky to keep them in the house.

But that's her home, her parents.

Why do those beasts do that?
Until Uncle Wen appeared, like a god who came to save her, like her other father.

When he showed up, he was accompanied by a group of bodyguards and lawyers. Those relatives wanted to use the same old trick to throw dirty water on her and humiliate her. When a slap was raised towards her, the bodyguard's slap hit those beasts in the face even faster.

The first thing Uncle Wen did was not to chase them away, but to ask her who hit her, who scolded her, what they did, where they worked, what was the name of their company, and the name of their unit.

Adults can understand what these questions mean.

When she stammered and spoke, those relatives wanted to scold her and stop her, but their mouths were quickly covered.

The secretary beside Uncle Wen quickly wrote down everything she said. Later, I heard that the company that my aunt had finally been admitted to laid off her, that my cousin's thesis plagiarism was reported by several classmates and his degree was revoked, and that my uncle was ostracized by his company.

Her family is a golden phoenix that rose from the common people. Her mother is honest and upright, and has always been diligent and prudent. Her father has achieved some success in business, and her relatives are no longer in the same class as them. In the past, when her parents took good things back to give to their relatives, the relatives were weird. After a long time, her parents realized that they shouldn't give them, so they gradually stopped giving them.

Their family climbed a little high, but not too high. Relatives were only jealous but not in awe, let alone fear. They always hated you for what you had and laughed at you for what you had not.

When they heard that this orphan had lost her parents, I was afraid that those beasts would laugh their heads off and rush over by train overnight to beat this good girl who was once cherished by her parents.

The anger and resentment that have been suppressed for all these years can finally be released.

So she was beaten and insulted, because they knew that no one would come to protect her. It didn't matter what they did to this orphan. They spit melon seed shells on her face, humiliated her clothes and appearance, saying that she wanted to be a whore, and made up stories about her recently deceased parents in front of her, saying that her parents were ungrateful, that they looked honest when they were young but became selfish when they grew up, and that her mother relied on her looks to get to the top and her father was a fool who made his money through luck.

It is obvious that my mother has been honest and hardworking all her life, and my father is easy-going, elegant and wise.

When she heard this, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She immediately hit them with a clothesline stick, her face flushed with anger, and told them to get out. They quickly dodged when they were hit, and even suppressed her, stood by and laughed at her, saying that they couldn't even listen to a few jokes and would hit people, saying that they were really spoiled by their parents.

She was so miserable that she wanted to commit suicide, but if she died there would be no one to protect the things her parents left behind.

Wen Wei showed up at that time and forcefully suppressed those beasts. He asked the bodyguards to follow them home and take back the stolen items one by one. He also hired lawyers and professional financial professionals to handle the company's affairs, liquidate the estate, notarize her agreement, and absolutely would not touch a single cent of her estate.

She was handed stacks of documents and asked to accompany her to court.

She was an orphan, and when she sat in the court with the company of reliable professionals, she almost cried.

Someone protected her and she had a home again.

But she didn't expect that Uncle Wen would pay so little attention to her affairs and was rarely even at home. Aunt Qin didn't like her very much and didn't care about her at all. She just let her live there and eat, and there was nothing else to do. They didn't even have much communication.

Hearing her say that she thought she had a father again, Wen Yangzhi said calmly: "If my dad heard you call him dad, he would be very happy."

She hesitated and was worried: "No way... After all, I'm not my uncle's biological daughter. Isn't this crossing the line?"

Wen Yangzhi just stared at her calmly and peacefully: "When he heard that you were bullied, he immediately brought people over to take you out. He took you home without telling my mother and said he wanted to adopt you."

Although he didn't adopt her in the end, he argued and compromised with Zhao Qin many times and decided to put her in foster care, raising her until she reached adulthood and was able to become independent.

But as Zhao Qin was raising her, Yang Ni said that he liked Yun Yuwan. Zhao Qin paid more attention to Yun Yuwan and fell in love with her for no reason.

Perhaps it is because the four hundred million roses are nothing, but this one is the one she has carefully watered, fertilized, weeded, and cared for, and it will slowly become a little different.

Although she couldn't treat her as her own child, she couldn't ignore her at all. Yun Yuwan might be a limited edition bag that she valued very much, a runway dress that was out of print, or a graduation gift that would never be had again. In short, she was more or less worthy of her love, but not too much.

All of this made Wen Yangzhi feel unexpected.
