Wen Lang had actually been there for quite a while, but he sensed that the situation was not good, so he did not show himself in time.

When she saw that Wen's mother was being forced to sign the contract, she anxiously gave Wen Qing a look.

Seeing that Wen Qing wasn't completely stupid, he understood what he meant.

He unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief:

Returning the money? No way.

He pretended to be unintentional and "coincidentally" met Yu Shuyan, thus winning her heart.

He knew that with the Wen family's status, marrying a lady from a prestigious family would be of no use to him in his future career.

It would be better to marry someone with some family wealth who could support their entire family and be easier to control.

He had done his research beforehand and found that although the Yu family was not wealthy, they doted on Yu Shuyan.

Moreover, there are no bad people in the Yu family.

Therefore, Yu Shuyan's dowry must be quite substantial. And as long as he controls Yu Shuyan, not only will he be able to spend all of her dowry, but the Yu family will also have to keep sending them money.

As it turned out, he was right. Over the years, he had indeed completely controlled Yu Shuyan. He made her obediently give everything and endure the humiliation from Wen's mother and Wen Qing, while she thought he didn't know and refused to tell him, fearing it would distract him and affect his studies.

What a ridiculously foolish woman.

If it weren't for the fact that he's now in high school, things wouldn't be as simple as just making ends meet. He wants a meteoric rise in his career. And Yu Shuyan clearly doesn't offer much help to his future political endeavors.

She really couldn't bear to lose such an obedient chess piece.

He married her for money.

Now, at a time when he needs even more money to pave the way for the future, it's utterly ridiculous that he's being asked to sign a deed to return his dowry.

When he has a good opportunity to divorce her, this contract will be too troublesome.

He naturally wouldn't allow it and immediately gave Wen Qing a hint.

Seeing Wen's mother feign fainting, he felt a slight sense of relief; at least for the time being, the contract couldn't be signed.

Thinking it over, he prepared to turn around and leave quietly.

"My husband~!"

A gentle voice, tinged with surprise, suddenly made his heart sink.

This is bad. If someone sees him here and makes him sign a contract, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously lowered his head, his feet moving faster and faster than before.

Yu Shuyan sneered inwardly, but her face showed surprise. She took a few steps forward and called out to his retreating figure again:

"Husband, you've come! Come quickly and see Mother, she's fainted!"

Following her gaze, everyone saw Wen Lang with his back to the Yu family's gate.

Wen Lang cursed Yu Shuyan under his breath, but quickly and discreetly squatted down, pretending to pick something up. This concealed his intention to leave.

He rose and turned, his demeanor now refined and gentle, but his eyes held a mixture of doubt and anxiety as he strode into the Yu residence.

"Shuyan, why is Mother here? And why did she faint? What happened?"

As she spoke, she rushed over, fell to the ground, and leaned against Wen Qing's mother, who was in Wen Qing's arms.

Wen Qing suddenly perked up and pointed at Yu Shuyan, crying:

“Brother, Mother and I came to your door today in a very polite manner, just to ask Sister-in-law to go back. I didn’t expect that she would collude with Aunt Niu and say a bunch of bad things about us for no reason. Mother and I don’t have that many ulterior motives, and we don’t know how we got framed with a bunch of bad reputations. Now, Mother is so angry that she fainted.”

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Wen Lang's eyes, but he gently reprimanded:

"Wen Qing, you can't talk about your sister-in-law like that. Over the years, Mom has raised us siblings all by herself, and I've been focused on my studies. Your sister-in-law has been running the household and supporting everything. I swore that once I get into high school, I would repay her for everything she's done, many times over. So, no matter what she says or does, you can't complain about her like that, understand?"

Yu Shuyan unconsciously raised her eyebrows:

As expected of Wen Lang, in just a few words, he portrayed him as a grateful and loving husband.

It makes her seem like the stingy one.

Sure enough, looking at everyone, especially the women, they were all staring at Wen Lang's handsome and gentle face with infatuation.

She couldn't help but sneer inwardly. No wonder in her past life, she was completely fooled by him, putting him first in everything, and never felt that he wasn't sincere towards her.

Even if he had become involved with Princess Changning, she refused to believe it. She even thought that Princess Changning was infatuated with him and had forced him into it.

Wen Lang is truly a master at bewitching people.

Wen Lang picked up his mother and turned to look at Yu Shuyan:

"Shuyan, although I don't know what happened today, don't worry, whatever you want, I will agree to it."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Wantao and the others, his eyes filled with sincerity:

“Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shuyan has worked very hard all these years taking care of the family and children. My mother and sister have been a bit spoiled because of her meticulous care. Don’t worry, when we get back, I will definitely talk to them and make sure Shuyan doesn’t suffer any injustice.”

Yu Wantao's impression of Wen Lang had never been too bad. Now, seeing his sincerity and his promise to restrain Wen's mother and the others, his expression softened considerably.

Fu Yuqin, however, managed to suppress the urge to roll her eyes.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Although Wen Lang always appeared polite, gentle, and dignified, she just felt that he was not the right person for Shuyan.

In the past, it was one thing if Shuyan didn't listen to her.

Now, Yu Shuyan seems to have finally figured things out and knows how to rebel against Wen's mother and cause them trouble. However, she is afraid that her silly girl will be fooled by Wen Lang's words and start to lose her mind again, falling into Wen Lang's spell.

I couldn't help but look at Yu Shuyan:

"Shuyan, you~"

Yu Shuyan gave her a look, interrupting her:

"Mother, please don't say anymore. My husband treats me very well. I will never leave him in this lifetime."

The coldness in Wen Lang's lowered eyes had turned into mockery.

He knew that Yu Shuyan's sudden abnormality was because Wen Qing wanted the pearl headdress passed down from her grandmother, and had hurt Zhe Ge'er.

That's why she got so angry that she ran back to her parents' home.

Look, now, because she's afraid of being rejected by him, she's expressing her feelings here.

Yu Shuyan noticed the mockery in his eyes and sneered inwardly:

Feel smug, huh?

I won't let everyone see how sincere my feelings are for you right now.

When things fall apart later, how can you better show everyone how ungrateful and despicable you are?

Wen Lang was satisfied. He helped his mother up from the ground and looked at Yu Shuyan with tenderness in his eyes.

"Shuyan, since you've gone back to your parents' home, stay a few more days. Don't worry, I'll take care of things at home. Mother's health isn't good to begin with, and she can't handle any stress. And now, she's fainted. I'll take her to the clinic now, so you can stay with your parents."

After saying that, he hugged Wen's mother and walked away.

Yu Shuyan sneered inwardly:

As expected of Wen Lang, his few words sounded like he was feeling sorry for her.

But every word and phrase was malicious.
