I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 90

90 Transformation

When Wen Xu talked about these things, he was too calm. After all, the most emotional and saddest moment in his life had already passed. Now, he had recognized reality and knew what he should do.

He had always kept a respectful distance from Wen Hao and the Wen family. He didn’t have any special thoughts about the Wen family’s company.

But now, he had changed his mind.

Even if the tree wanted to be quiet, the wind wouldn’t stop. Since Wen Hao was trying to squeeze and suppress him by all means, wanting to get all the assets of the Wen family, then he wouldn’t let Wen Hao do as he wished.

Only when he was at a high enough position and had enough capital could he return Wen Hao and his mother’s favor. Only then could he be unlike Han Tianyi, who couldn’t even protect himself and only wanted to cause more trouble for Sister Qian over his own actions.

!!
Ever since they were young, Wen Xu had always addressed Sang Qianqian as ‘Big Sister’. However, Sang Qianqian was only two months older than him. He had once lived under Sister Qian and the Sang family’s protection for many years.

But now, it was time for him to grow up and hold up the sky on his own so that he could become Sister Qian’s protection in the future.

“Sister, I was too impulsive in the past and was always easily angered by Wen Hao. It’s not a bad thing to work on my temper now.”

In the night, Wen Xu’s voice was gentle, calm, and firm. “Sister, don’t worry. I won’t be in this situation forever.”

One day, he would make Wen Gong take back the words he had said at the charity night and make Wen Hao and his mother regret all the evil they had done to him over the years.

This day wasn’t too far away. Sang Qianqian looked deeply at Wen Xu, her feelings gratified yet complicated.

The Wen Xu in front of her really gave her the feeling that he had grown up and was a man instead of a boy. She wanted to say many words of comfort, but in the end, she couldn’t say them.

“Since you know what you’re doing, then work hard.”

Sang Qianqian looked at him and said gently, “I believe in you. Your wish will definitely come true.”

On the other hand, she could come forward to see Wen Gong and explain everything clearly. When she was young, Wen Xu was bullied by Wen Hao and his stepmother and was wronged by Wen Gong. She had clarified things for Wen Xu many times and even had her father, Sang Pengcheng, step in personally.

In exchange, Wen Gong felt a brief sense of guilt and kept a superficial harmony between him and Wen Xu. However, the real problem between them had never been solved from the root.

If she wanted Wen Gong to completely change his opinion of Wen Xu, she must let Wen Gong see his son’s true strength.

Otherwise, if Wen Hao and his mother continues to deliberately target Wen Xu in the future, Wen Gong would continue to curse him with excessive and hurtful words such as ‘Mud can’t support a wall’ and ‘Get Wen Xu out of Zhongwen’ at every turn.

Wen Xu used to be a hot-blooded boy who followed behind her, but one day, he would become a man who could take charge of everything. She was waiting for Wen Xu to overcome all the obstacles, turn the tide, and stand at the peak.

She sincerely believed that he would be able to do it.

When Sang Qianqian returned to her room, Yun Li sized her up and was a little worried. “Did something happen to Wen Xu again?”

The two of them had chatted for a long time.

Sang Qianqian shook her head. “It’s still about the charity night.”

“Speaking of which, what happened that night?” Yun Li was curious. “Wen Xu seemed to have suffered a huge blow.”

Sang Qianqian explained the situation simply, and Yun Li was silent for a long time. After a long while, she sighed. “I feel like reincarnation is like buying the lottery, and meeting good parents is the big prize.”

She had thought that Wen Xu’s unruly and venomous personality was that of a rich second-generation boy who had never been beaten by society. She never thought that he actually had such a pitiful background.

She suddenly understood why Wen Xu treated Sang Qianqian so differently. If it was her, she would probably stick to Sang Qianqian even more than Wen Xu.

“I won’t argue with him anymore.”

Yun Li said sincerely, “No matter how overboard he is, I will give in to him.”

Sang Qianqian was amused. “Don’t. If you should give in, then give in. If you shouldn’t, then don’t give in.”

When Shen Hanyu received Shen Shaofeng’s call, it was past one o’clock at night.

“Sitong hasn’t returned, and she’s not picking up her calls.”

On the other end of the phone, Shen Shaofeng said anxiously, “Hanyu, Sitong has never come home so late. Did something happen?”

Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. “Don’t worry. I’ll find her as soon as possible.”

Now that the streets of Ming City were filled with surveillance cameras, it wasn’t hard to track Xia Sitong’s whereabouts.

After Xia Sitong left Imperial Creek Terrace, she drove over to the Cui Zhu Yuan District where she used to live.

That was her and Shen Hanyu’s old home. The house had never been sold and had remained in its original state. When Shen Hanyu knocked on the door, Xia Sitong’s eyes and face were red, and she reeked of alcohol.

There were a few empty beer cans on the table. Shen Hanyu took a deep breath. “My dad is worried about you. Why didn’t you pick up the phone?”

Xia Sitong didn’t say anything as she lowered her head and started crying. Shen Hanyu furrowed his brows. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back to Yushui Bay.”

“I don’t want to go back. I just want to stay here.”

As Xia Sitong spoke, she suddenly threw herself at Shen Hanyu and hugged him tightly. “Brother Hanyu, I really want to go back to the old days…”

Back to the old days when their families lived next to each other, and when Shen Hanyu only had eyes for her as he always protected her.

Shen Hanyu’s face darkened, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He pushed Xia Sitong away without any hesitation and said coldly, “Sitong, look at the reality. We can’t go back to how things were before.”

Xia Sitong sobbed, “It’s all because of Sang Qianqian that Brother Hanyu is treating me like this, isn’t it? I really don’t understand what’s so good about her…”

“It has nothing to do with Sang Qianqian.”

Shen Hanyu tried to suppress his emotions. “I’ve always treated you as my little sister.”

That was why there would never be any romantic feelings between him and Xia Sitong, and the relationship between them would never be the same as when they were young.

Even biological siblings would have their own lives when they grew up. This logic wasn’t hard to understand. However, he couldn’t understand why Xia Sitong refused to accept it.

He could always treat Xia Sitong like a little sister and take care of her, but the prerequisite was that she didn’t try to cross that line. Xia Sitong’s tears slowly stopped, and her originally red face started to turn pale.

Suddenly, she grabbed a fruit knife on the table and was about to stab herself. Shen Hanyu’s expression changed, and he grabbed her wrist. The fruit knife fell to the ground with a clang.

“Xia Sitong!” Shen Hanyu was furious.

“Since Brother Han Yu doesn’t want to go back to the past with me, let Han Tianyi go.”

Xia Sitong lowered her eyes to hide the jealousy and hatred in them. “I’m not as heartless as Brother Hanyu. I’m a nostalgic person.”

Shen Hanyu was furious. His handsome face was cold, but he didn’t say a word.

“I won’t pester Big Brother Hanyu anymore. I’ll give my best wishes to Big brother Hanyu and Sang Qianqian, and I hope that she can become my sister-in-law soon,” Xia Sitong said softly.

The word ‘sister-in-law’ made the coldness in Shen Hanyu’s eyes finally dissipate a little.

Two days later.

Han Tianyi’s assassination case was settled out-of-court, and he was released without charges.

However, the news was extremely secretive. Other than a few people involved, almost no one in Ming City knew about it.
