Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 259: The Wen Family (IV)

The family of four came to the study. Xiao Hai was temporarily taken care of by Wen Nachuan, while Qi Zhaolin took medicine to do a simple disinfection on Wen Shuchen's wound.

"Dad...Mom...I'm sorry, I was wrong." Wen Nachuan held Xiaohai's hand and brought him to his parents. He pulled the corner of Qi Zhaolin's clothes with one hand and shook him gently, trying to awaken their fatherly and motherly love.

Qi Zhaolin ignored him, while Wenshu Chen looked at him silently with an extremely serious expression. "Dad, Dad, Mom..." Wen Nachuan tried to pull Wenshu Chen's arm again.

After a long while, the clerk said, "Wen Nachuan, what's wrong with you today? You attacked my whole family. Do you want to beat everyone in our family before you are satisfied?"

"No..." Wen Nachuan lowered his head, and his answer was as faint as the breath of a mosquito, almost inaudible.

"Then tell me, why are you like this? How did Yu Ru make you unhappy? You call her a country bumpkin and humiliate her. How did mom make you unhappy? You interrupted me time and again when I was talking. How did Xiao Hai make you unhappy?" The clerk's brows were tightly furrowed, and his low tone was filled with an unquestionable majesty, and every word was like a hammer.

Wen Nachuan licked his lips, not daring to raise his head. He let go of Xiaohai, twisted his pants with both hands, avoided looking at Wenshu Chen, his cheeks flushed, his lips trembled but he couldn't utter a word. Xiaohai's hands were freed, and she immediately walked towards Qi Zhaolin and hugged her legs. Wen Nachuan's eyes followed his back and moved slowly, and when he saw Qi Zhaolin, he immediately retracted his gaze.

"Wen Nachuan, raise your head and speak." The clerk's tone became more severe. "You must explain this matter clearly today. Don't try to avoid this issue. It's useless to avoid it. If there is a problem, you must solve it."

Wen Nachuan pursed his lips tightly, tears like scattered beans, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto his clothes, his body trembling violently with sobs. He quickly turned his back and covered his face with one hand, tears gushing out from between his fingers, uncontrollable like a fountain, his shoulders rising and falling with every sob, like a raging wave rolling on his body.

He hadn't cried so sadly for a long time. The clerk Qi Zhaolin couldn't bear to see him like this, so his seriousness gradually softened during his crying. Qi Zhaolin walked to his side, put his arm around his shoulders, and led him to the clerk. "Xiaochuan, come here."

The clerk sighed slightly, held his hand, and softened his tone. "Wen Nachuan, what you did today was really too much, don't you think?"

Wen Nachuan nodded, "I think..."

"I don't think you feel it, but someone has blackened your heart. I can see that you are still very unconvinced. Your mother and I will solve these problems for you one by one. First of all, we often tell you to control your emotions, think before you speak, and don't speak without restraint. No matter who you are facing or what your status is, you can't speak carelessly. Another thing is that no matter how angry you are, you shouldn't smash your own home like this. If there is a problem, solve it and deal with it based on the facts. What's the point of violently smashing things in your own home? In the end, you will be the one who suffers, right? This is a cowardly act. Your room has been smashed like this, so don't even think about living there for the next few days. You can sleep on the floor in the corridor until it is renovated."

"Yeah..." Wen Nachuan nodded quickly.

"Xiaochuan, you vent your anger by smashing things, which poses a big safety hazard. If someone suddenly comes in, what if you hit them? You also smashed a big hole in the window, what if the glass falls and hits someone? If your dad was hit in the eye instead of the forehead by you today, he would be blind. Could you tolerate that result? Could your dad bear that kind of pain? Everyone has emotions, which is normal, but you can't just vent your anger on others," Qi Zhaolin added.

"Well... no, I know, I know I was wrong..." Wen Nachuan nodded.

"Very good. Remember what you said today. If such violent incidents happen again, your mother and I will not find anyone to repair it. You must be responsible for your own mistakes and save up the repair money yourself. When you have saved enough money to repair the room, you can move back to live in it. Otherwise, you can sleep on the sofa in the living room or on the floor." The clerk warned.

"No, I promise." Wen Nachuan replied with his head lowered.

The clerk held his head with both hands and forced him to look up. "Raise your head and look at me talking to mother."

"Oh..." Wen Nachuan raised his head, but his eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look them directly.

The clerk ignored his guilty look and continued, "Second, let's talk about your discrimination against people. How did Yu Ru offend you? Why do you always say that she is from the countryside, a bumpkin from the country?"

"Isn't she? She is a country bumpkin, a rural person. I was not wrong about that. Grandpa even said she was from the village." Wen Nachuan raised his voice and his expression began to show unconvinced again.

"What are you talking about? She is from the countryside, but you are using the word "countryside" in a derogatory sense. Don't think I don't know. Your mother and I know it. You always look for opportunities to secretly bully her, don't you? You say she is a country bumpkin. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment by bullying the weak and the small? I tell you, this behavior is extremely shameless and very rude."

"She's just annoying...she deserves it." Wen Nachuan muttered. "Grandpa, really, why did you bring a stranger back? Our house is not a shelter."

"Don't worry about why your grandfather brought her back. This was your grandfather's decision and your grandmother also supported it. We can't interfere. The house they live in now belongs to your grandfather. Yu Ru's meals and private school are all paid for by your grandfather. It's not your mother and I who are raising her. No matter how much you dislike her, you'd better keep it to yourself. If your grandfather finds out that you bully her like this, your mother and I won't be able to protect you." Wenshu Chen warned.

When Wen Nachuan heard this, he was angry and annoyed. He snorted coldly, and the tail sound swirled in his nose and fell into his stomach. "It's so annoying."

"Xiaochuan, what's annoying about her? Tell me. What are you bothered about?" Qi Zhaolin asked.

Wen Nachuan snorted disdainfully and said with his neck stiff, "I don't know. Anyway, I just feel that she is annoying. I hate everything about her, especially her expression, which is so disgusting. I get annoyed just by looking at her."

"You can't tell what's annoying about her. In fact, she didn't provoke you, right? You just hate her because she's from the country. Xiaochuan, history teaching runs throughout the private school curriculum. Have you forgotten all the knowledge you learned before and the exams you took? The Internet counts three generations. Who in our country is not a farmer or a refugee? It's only with the development of the times in the past decade or so that most people have escaped the status of farmers and refugees. To be precise, you are also a descendant of rural people. What reason do you have to look down on others?" Qi Zhaolin said earnestly.

"Even if you can't change this bad habit of yours, and you have to look down on others, you can just ignore her and complain a few words in your heart. Why do you have to get close to her and scold her to make her unhappy? Who did you learn this bad habit from? You are so shameless." The clerk continued. "A person who can't hide his emotions and control his emotions is doomed to fail."

Wen Nachuan lowered his head again, remained silent for a moment, and uttered a few words intermittently: "I didn't...have any."
