Looking at them, Yu Shuyan felt even colder inside:

Over the years, she has been beaten and abused by Wen's mother countless times, whether for no reason or not.

Each time, Wen Qing would exaggerate and embellish the story, making her mother beat her severely.

Sometimes, when Wen's mother got tired of hitting her, Wen Qing would let her rest, and then she would continue hitting her.

Sometimes, when the little dumpling sees her being beaten, she rushes up to protect her, and she gets whipped a few times in return.

Even such a young child knows to protect his mother.

However, looking at the ugly faces of this mother and daughter pushing each other, it's truly disgusting.

With a family like that, it's no wonder they raised someone like Wen Lang, who is extremely selfish, ruthless, and vicious.

However, before.

Every time she was beaten, Wen Lang would pretend not to know!

So this time, it was his mother and sister who were beaten. I wonder what Wen Lang will do inside the house?

She whipped the door for a while before it was suddenly pushed open.

Wen Lang walked out with a sullen face and said coldly:

"Enough! What's all this noise and chaos? What are you doing?!"

Wen's mother and Wen Qing instantly seemed to have found a savior. They rushed towards Wen Lang, hid behind him, pointed at Yu Shuyan, and roared:

"Son, I can't live anymore! How could I be beaten and scolded like this by my daughter-in-law? Is there no justice in this world?!"

"Brother, you have to stand up for me! That bitch Yu Shuyan is insane! Brother, divorce her! Divorce that slut, brother!"

Wen Lang, however, did not pay attention to what they were shouting.

Instead, he stared intently into Yu Shuyan's eyes, as if trying to discern what she was truly thinking!

Yu Shuyan, however, let Wen Lang sized her up with a half-smile.

After all, she was certain that, given Wen Lang's selfishness, he now needed her help regarding the Gu poison matter. He would absolutely not do anything to her for the sake of Wen's mother and son.

Sure enough, faced with the urging of Wen's mother and son, he coldly interrupted them:

"enough!"

Wen's mother and Wen Qing both stared incredulously at Wen Lang, who had been yelling at them.

Wen Lang, however, ignored their surprise and continued:

"I gave my permission for Shuyan to go back to her parents' home for a while. Today, it was you who went a bit too far."

Wen's mother and Wen Qing were completely shocked.

They really didn't understand why Wen Lang suddenly started protecting Yu Shuyan.

Wen Lang ignored them and instead looked at Yu Shuyan:

"Shuyan, come sit in the study. There are some things I need to talk to you about."

Yu Shuyan inwardly scoffed:

Wen Lang is indeed Wen Lang; he can bend and stretch, and he is two-faced.

Even though he loathes her to the extreme right now, he can still put on the act of being the gentle and refined gentleman she likes best, wanting to continue using her.

His face remained indifferent:

"Great, that's perfect. I also have something I want to tell you."

After saying that, he gave it to Wen's mother and Wen Qing, who were stunned and speechless. He gave them a cold, mocking look, stepped past Wen Lang, and went into the study first.

The instant she brushed past him, a chilling glint flashed in Wen Lang's eyes.

He turned and walked into the study, his face once again displaying a gentle and dignified demeanor.

He also casually closed the door to the study!

"Mother, Mother~ What's wrong with Brother? What's there for him to talk about with that bitch? Besides, that bitch treated us like this, why doesn't he teach her a lesson, but instead criticizes us!"

Wen Qing shook her mother's arm, pointed at the study door, and looked resentful and unwilling.

As she was being shaken, Wen's mother accidentally aggravated the injury on her hand, gasping in pain. She yanked her hand away and scolded:

"What are you doing? What are you doing? You good-for-nothing! I've wasted all these years raising you. You're hiding behind me when I hit you, where's your filial piety?!"

Wen Qing muttered:

"Oh, Mom, don't you want to hide behind me too?"

Mother Wen's eyes widened in anger:

"You brat, you—"

Wen Qing interrupted her before she could finish speaking, saying:

"Alright, alright, Mother. What does Brother mean by this? Are we going to be ridden on by that wretched woman from now on?!"

Distracted by her, Wen's mother turned to look at the tightly closed door, and let out a cold snort:

"Don't worry, don't you know your brother? All these years, the only time he's ever been nice to Yu Shuyan is when he wants money or things."

Wen Qing's eyes lit up:

"Mother, do you mean that brother is going to use that slut again for some reason?"

Mother Wen nodded smugly:

"Of course! Otherwise, why do you think your brother would give her such a nice look? Let's just put up with it for now, and once your brother's done using her, we'll teach her a lesson!"

Wen Qing nodded, gritting her teeth and snorting coldly:

"I understand, Mother. I will remember all the suffering I endured today and repay her many times over, and fiercely!"

The mother and daughter stared fiercely at the study door.

It seemed as if he was staring at Yu Shuyan, tearing her apart with his eyes.

~~~~~~

In the study

Wen Lang and Yu Shuyan were sitting opposite each other at the table.

Wen Lang even personally poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

She'd been married to him for so many years, and it was always her who carefully served him. When had he ever once poured her a glass of water?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Yu Shuyan's eyes. She raised her hand and stroked the teacup, speaking calmly:

"What do you want to say?"

Sensing the coldness in her voice, Wen Lang's eyes darkened slightly, but he smiled gently.

"Shuyan, I know how Zhou Ruifen feels about me. But I have never given her any response."

As he spoke, he carefully observed Yu Shuyan's expression and continued:

"Although she is of noble birth and strikingly beautiful, in my eyes, no one can compare to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have remained completely silent towards her. Don't you agree?"

Yu Shuyan sneered inwardly:

This was a reminder that Wen Lang was very popular, and she should be grateful that he didn't abandon her.

If Yu Shuyan were a sensible person, she should be cautious and obedient to him.

He felt disgusted just looking at people like that.

For a moment, she didn't want to beat around the bush with him anymore, and instead coldly snorted:

"I can persuade Yuanniang not to expose you."

Wen Lang's eyes trembled slightly:

"You...know?"

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Yu Shuyan's lips:

"However, I have conditions!"
