Jiang Youyi glanced at his wife and then at his daughter, who was sitting silently at the side. He thought about how he had been so busy for the past two days because of Xinwan's decision to get a divorce. Now that Wen Han-woo had made it clear that he had given Jiang Youyi a way out, his daughter was still putting on airs. This made him even angrier.
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "That's right. You said that she was my daughter too! But did she really see me as her father? "
The man pointed at Xinwan. It was as though all the emotions he had been suppressing in his heart had finally exploded at this moment. "I wasn't able to be by your side when you were young, so I didn't educate you properly. That's why you've always felt uncomfortable with me all these years. I know that you don't necessarily see me as your father. No matter what you do, whether it's a big or small matter, you've never asked for my opinion as your father. You said that you wanted a divorce and now you have a five-year-old son. It's just a son. You didn't even explain it to me properly. Tell me, what's the use of being a father? Am I just a decoration? "
"You said before that as long as you divorced Wen Han-woo, you would change your surname to Jiang and would be willing to work at my company. Now that you've really gotten a divorce, you didn't even mention it. I don't really need you to change your surname because no matter whether you're Tong Xinwan or Jiang Xinwan, you're still my daughter. Now that I'm asking you to work at my company, you're so unwilling. I don't want to criticize you, but even if we take a step back and go to court, do you think you can win custody of your son without anything? "
Xinwan's fingers, which were under the table, subconsciously tightened around the corner of her shirt.
Before she could say anything, Tong Qing Meng had already rushed over with a pale face. "Youyi, what nonsense are you talking about? Wanwan just doesn't want to go to the company with you. How can you say that about her? "
Xinwan furrowed her brows and moved her body. Just as she was about to stand up and say something, Jiang Youyi snorted angrily. This time, he aimed his anger at Tong Qing Meng. "You're the one who's always protecting your daughter. I can't even say a word about it. Am I not her father? Is it wrong for me to educate her? What do you think of the things she has been doing recently? Was she being too willful and taking matters into her own hands? Qingmeng, I know you've always treasured your daughter. Maybe you think that I didn't take good care of you and your daughter in the past, so you always think that I'm not qualified to be a real father to her. But think about your daughter first. Is what she did right? "
After he finished speaking, he left in a huff. When he reached the door, he paused. "Also, don't think that you can indulge her temper just because she's a daughter. To put it nicely, it was independence. But to put it bluntly, what was it? Have you ever thought about it? It's true that a loving mother leads to a wastrel! "
Soon, the sound of an engine could be heard from the garage outside.
In the kitchen, the mother and daughter were still frozen in their original positions. They didn't move at all. Xinwan actually felt quite apologetic.
Of course, what she cared about the most wasn't Jiang Youyi's criticism of her, but the harsh words he had just said to her mother.
If she put herself in Jiang Youyi's shoes, she could understand what he was thinking.
She pursed her lips and sighed softly. She slowly stood up and said, "Mom."
"Wanwan, no matter what your father said, don't take it to heart. He's been very busy lately."
"I'm not."
Xinwan shook her head and said softly, "Dad is right. I'm being too willful. Mom, he has the right to educate me like that. "
"Wanwan."
Tong Qing Meng stepped forward. Xinwan stood up and held her daughter's hand. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said slowly, "Mom knows that six years ago, you sacrificed your happiness and marriage. Actually, if it were any other woman, she wouldn't give up everything so easily and gamble her happiness on a hopeless marriage. Mom knows that you sacrificed a lot. Now, I don't have the right to ask you to do anything. You have the right to choose the life you want. That's why all these years, no matter what your father said to me, I had to ask him to give you some space so you could do whatever you wanted in America. But Wanwan, you're a mother too. You can understand a mother's heart, right? I don't know how you made the decision to keep Wen Han-woo's child five years ago, but Xiao Yu is already five years old now. For the sake of the child, I hope you can remarry Hanwoo. If he's willing, why not give it a try? "
…
Nighttime.
Nighttime in City B was no different from other big cities. The hustle and bustle of the day faded away, leaving behind the charm of the night.
On a street where the traffic was not very dense, a red Maserati sports car flashed past. Finally, it turned on the turn signal at the corner of the road and the car quickly disappeared around the corner.
A moment later, a black Honda Accord followed behind.
At the entrance of the abandoned factory, gravel covered the entire road. The Maserati stopped at the entrance of the factory. She waited until the Accord behind stopped before she opened the car door.
A man came out from the car behind. When he saw the owner of the Maserati, he quickly ran over. "Miss Li."
"Explain, why did the report get squeezed out in less than a day? If I remember correctly, the money I gave you should be enough to hype the report for three days. "
Li Ruoying's face was full of impatience. At this time, to secretly meet with a gossip paparazzi at such a place, to be honest, it was too degrading for her status. She did not want to do such a thing.
But now, she also understood that if she did not create some trouble, Hanwoo might really remarry Tong Xinwan because of the child. Then, all her years of waiting would be for nothing. How could she be willing to accept that?
"Miss Li."
The man nodded and explained, "You really can't blame me for this. Less than half a day after the report was published, the higher-ups put pressure on us to remove the headline. Later, I asked around and it seems that President Wen's chief secretary personally handled this matter, so I suspect that President Wen must have given the order. "
Li Ruoying's delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Now, she seemed to be more certain of the seriousness of this matter.
Yesterday, she also received the "news" from the person she arranged to be around Hanwoo, so she hurried to the Wen Company. Fortunately, she went. If she did not go, what would have happened at that time?
But even if she went, in the end, she didn't even have a meal before she was sent back.
In the past, Wen Han-woo might not be very enthusiastic to her, but he would never be so indifferent. How could such a proud man like him be indifferent to Tong Xinwan's actions? And he even ordered her not to let her talk nonsense.
Seeing that Li Ruoying was silent, the reporter was afraid that his "expensive meal ticket" would suddenly float away. He hurriedly stepped forward and said as if he was presenting a treasure, "But Miss Li, opportunities are for those who are prepared. Even if the headline is removed, it doesn't matter. I have been watching Qin Fangang these two days. I found that he is looking for a lawyer, and in private, he is meeting with the most famous "ever-victorious lawyer" in B City, Ji Linyue, who specializes in custody cases. "
"What do you mean?"
"Qin Fangang is not married yet. He can't be looking for a lawyer for himself, right? It is obvious that he is looking for a lawyer for Tong Xinwan. "
The reporter smiled confidently, "Miss Li.
Miss Li, isn't your purpose to completely break up with Childe Wen and Tong Xinwan? Childe Wen hasn't looked for a lawyer, but Tong Xinwan has been anxiously contacting a lawyer. Isn't this situation very advantageous to us? Don't worry, Miss Li. I will keep a close eye on Tong Xinwan and Qin Fangang. As long as they do anything, I will definitely find a way to expose them first. It doesn't matter how long this headline stays up. What matters is whether Childe Wen can see it. "
Li Ruoying snorted when she heard this. "You are quite smart."
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Li. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help you with what you want to see. I won't let your money go to waste." After the reporter was done with his flattery, he thought of something and said, "Oh yes, Miss Li, wait a moment. I have something to show you."
He ran back to the car and took out his camera. After opening it, he found a set of photos taken two days ago and handed it to Li Ruoying.
"This was taken a while ago. I followed Tong Xinwan and found out that she had met Family Wen's prospective son-in-law in private. However, I was a little far away at that time, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about."
Li Ruoying pressed the camera with her fingers that were painted with colorful nail polish. The photos flashed before her eyes one by one. They were all taken very clearly. They were all of Tong Xinwan and Seo Dong-jun.
Seo Dong-jun.
Of course, she knew Seo Dong-jun. He was Wen Yuehua's marriage partner. Moreover, he seemed to be an artist. If she remembered correctly, there was a painting of him in her brother's room.
However, why did Seo Dong-jun meet Tong Xinwan in private?
Did they meet by chance? Or did they have an appointment?
If it was an appointment, why would these two people who had nothing to do with each other meet up?
She looked at a few more photos. In the last set of photos, the two of them were actually in close contact. Li Ruoying's temples suddenly throbbed. A "scary" thought flashed across her mind. She returned the camera to the reporter and paused for a moment before saying, "Continue to follow Tong Xinwan for the next two days. Find out what exactly she and Seo Dong-jun are up to. You must find out for me, understand?"
"Okay, don't worry, Miss Li."
…
"CEO Wen, this is the information you asked for."
Chen Fangfei placed the organized documents in front of Wen Han-woo. She glanced at the time and hesitated for a moment before saying, "CEO Wen, you haven't eaten lunch. Do you want me to prepare something for you?"
"No need."
The man's voice was low. He did not even raise his head as he took the documents from the side and briefly skimmed through them. He asked, "This is the information that the Jiang Corporation wants to cooperate with?"
