She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Fang Li only found out Wen Yang's address after asking Liu Nian.

The Wen family's house was hard to find. The residential area was hidden at the end of a dead-end road, with newly built residential areas on both sides and a large area of ​​building ruins behind it. The old residential area with three buildings was sandwiched in the middle.

When Zhou Yufan's Maserati, worth over two million yuan, appeared in the community, it immediately attracted the attention of a group of residents sitting downstairs chatting about everyday matters.

Especially since the two of them had just gotten off work and were still wearing their work attire.

With her superior physical appearance, she could feel the intense gazes of the elderly men and women even without looking at her.

The two got out of the car and looked up at the three small buildings. As they were trying to figure out which building Wen Yang's house was in, they saw three or four tall men walk out of the innermost building.

Fang Li frowned slightly as she looked at the woman walking among the men.

The face looked familiar; after a moment's thought, I remembered where I had seen him before.

A black Volkswagen Tiguan was parked downstairs in the residential area, and the group walked towards the car.

Fang Li and Zhou Yufan stood under a thick locust tree and saw the group of people glancing at Zhou Yufan's black Maserati several times as they walked by.

Their eyes gleamed with interest and envy. They whispered a few words to each other before finally opening the car door and getting in.

The car started, its tires kicking up a cloud of dust, and sped out of the residential area.

After the car drove away, Fang Li and Zhou Yufan exchanged a glance and walked towards the last small building.

As I climbed to the fourth floor, before even reaching the door, I could already hear angry rebukes and suppressed sobs coming from inside.

Fang Li walked in front, and Zhou Yufan followed behind her.

The two went up and saw that the door was wide open and not closed. They could tell from the slightest noise that there were probably quite a few people inside.

Fang Li stood at the door and looked inside, and sure enough.

The small living room contained a three-seater sofa, with four people sitting on it.

In the middle is an elderly man with gray hair who looks to be in his seventies or eighties. To the left of the elderly man is a middle-aged man who looks somewhat similar to him.

Wearing a striped shirt, with his jet-black hair neatly combed back and frameless glasses perched on his nose, he looked quite refined.

To the right of the old woman was Wang Mingxia, Wen Yang's mother, whom Fang Li and Zhou Yufan had met at the mall the last time.

Wang Mingxia looked unwell, especially since she wasn't wearing makeup today and was dressed in a gray loungewear set. Her eyes were inexplicably red and swollen, and her hair, which was tied up at the back of her head, was somewhat messy, making her look much older.

There was another person sitting next to her.

He looks much younger than her.

She looked to be no more than forty years old, wearing a purple knitted dress, with her hair permed into curly waves. Dressed in bright red, she was nonchalantly looking at her bright red nails, completely different from the three people around her with their varying expressions.

There were two people standing in the corner next to the sofa.

One of them was Wen Yang's older brother, Wen Tao.

Next to Wen Tao was a short, slightly overweight middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old.

Fang Li looked around but didn't see Wen Yang.

I could only raise my hand and knock on the door before going in.

"Who are you?" asked the woman sitting next to Wang Mingxia.

Fang Li forced a smile and said, "I'm Wen Yang's colleague. There's something going on at the company, but I can't get in touch with her, so I came here specifically to find her."

Upon hearing this, the few people who had been staring at her with hostility all revealed a hint of wariness in their eyes.

The woman in the purple dress, however, scrutinized Fang Li from head to toe, before her gaze suddenly fell on Zhou Yufan behind her.

The others in the room seemed to have only just noticed Zhou Yufan, who was tall, had long legs, and an outstanding temperament, following her gaze.

"Are you also Yangyang's colleague?" The old man asked.

Fang Li glanced at Zhou Yufan, her eyes flashing slightly as she gave him a subtle hint.

Zhou Yufan instantly understood, his brows furrowing slightly as he revealed a hint of authority: "I am Wen Yang's supervisor. The company sent her to Beijing on a business trip, but she couldn't be contacted before she finished her business. This matter is very important to the company. If any of you know Wen Yang's whereabouts, please let us know. If she doesn't show up soon, the company will have to treat her as having resigned automatically."

"Resigned automatically?"

Wang Mingxia was startled. She glanced uneasily at the old man beside her, then looked past him at the middle-aged man on the other side. She stood up and hurriedly came forward: "Please have a seat, both of you. Actually, Yangyang is at home. She's been delayed these past two days because of some family matters. It wasn't on her part that she didn't contact the company."

Fang Li glanced around, quickly scanning the closed door to the side.

The two of them went over and sat down on the chairs opposite the sofa.

Wang Mingxia was still a little reserved and didn't dare to look at Zhou Yufan. Her gaze shifted to Fang Li's face. "Are you Yangyang's colleague? Haven't we met somewhere before?"

Fang Li smiled and said without hiding anything, "Yes, I have seen her. Last time you took your son and daughter-in-law to buy clothes, Wen Yang paid for it in the end. It cost more than 30,000 yuan. It would take her two months to save up that amount without eating or drinking."

"..." Wang Mingxia's eyes were filled with panic, and she couldn't help but look at the old man beside her.

Sure enough, the old man's sharp gaze immediately fell on her face.

"Over 30,000? What kind of dress costs over 30,000?!"

Wang Mingxia obviously hadn't mentioned this to the old man.

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression immediately changed, and his gaze, which had been sizing up Fang Li and Zhou Yufan, turned directly to Wang Mingxia.

Wang Mingxia moved her lips several times but couldn't say anything, looking pleadingly at her husband beside her.

Wen Yang's father, Wen Shiming, was a small office director in the grain department.

He is cautious and timid at work, always bowing to his superiors and not daring to show off his authority in front of his subordinates. Only when he goes home does he transform into the head of the household, as if he has regained some of his sense of being a leader.

He remained silent with a cold expression, and Wang Mingxia was clearly afraid of her father-in-law.

After a pause, she continued, "It's Yangyang, who said she's often away from home. Now that her brother is getting married and it's the first time she's meeting her sister-in-law, she bought her a dress as a gift."

"Was I asking about the gift?" The old man's voice suddenly rose, and he slammed his hand on the coffee table in front of him, making a loud bang. "I'm asking you what kind of dress could possibly be worth over thirty thousand yuan?!"

"..." Wang Mingxia trembled with fright and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Don't you understand that Wen Yang is immature? Look at the situation at home right now, the whole family is scrimping and saving to help Tao Bao get married. And what are you doing? As a mother of two, what were you doing when Wen Yang was spending money recklessly?!"

"Dad, I..."

Seeing his mother being scolded, Wen Tao showed some responsibility and spoke up for her: "Grandpa, this is not my mother's fault. It was Wen Yang who wanted to buy it. What does it have to do with my mother?"
