Upon seeing his grandson, the old man's anger subsided considerably.

Even his stern and gloomy eyes softened slightly, and his tone became gentler: "I'm not blaming your mother, I'm angry that she can't even manage your sister... Never mind, you're right, Wen Yang is really outrageous!"

Fang Li was completely dumbfounded.

She almost thought she wasn't a normal person, otherwise how could she not keep up with this family's thought process at all?

She knew all too well what had happened with that dress.

Wang Mingxia and Wen Tao, one as Wen Yang's mother and the other as Wen Yang's older brother, worked together to force Wen Yang to hand over the money. Now, facing the old man's questioning, they are trying to shift the blame entirely onto Wen Yang!

So Wen Yang spent so much money and still made a mistake?

And this old man, are you sure he hasn't gone astray?

Does he even know what's going on? How did it become that Wen Yang is being outrageous?

Fang Li felt a surge of anger rising in her heart for no apparent reason.

She squeezed the bag in her hand, just about to speak, when the old man spoke first, saying something even more shocking to her.

"What did I say back then? What's the use of raising a daughter? She can't carry on the family line. No matter how well you raise her, she'll still belong to someone else when she gets old. Daughters are just a complete money-loser!"

“When Wen Yang was little, I asked you to take her out, but you wouldn’t. Now look at her, you’ve spent so much money feeding her, providing for her, and sending her to university. Now that she’s graduated and finally started earning money, she won’t even come home!”

"She spends over 30,000 yuan on a dress without a second thought, and now her brother is getting married, and all they want is a little money from her to see how she looks! If I'd known this would happen, I would have just thrown her in the trash. The money I saved would have been enough for Tao Bao to marry two wives!"

"Old man!" Fang Li could no longer bear it and stood up from her chair.

The people opposite her all turned to look at her instantly.

Thinking that Wen Yang might be listening behind that door, Fang Li held back as she spoke, preventing herself from uttering the words that were welling up in her throat.

Instead, he took a deep breath and, barely managing to maintain his composure, said, "We have other matters to attend to at our company. Please call Wen Yang out as soon as possible."

The implication.

That's right, I don't have time to listen to your family's heartless and nonsensical nonsense. Release them right now!

The old man stared at her for a long time, but still couldn't figure out Fang Li's identity. In addition, there was Zhou Yufan standing behind Fang Li, who claimed to be Wen Yang's boss.

The old man said that, but he knew in his heart how much money Wen Yang had subsidized the family over the years since she went to university.

This time, they went too far. Wen Yang simply couldn't afford it and didn't want to be taken advantage of again. He pushed his family to the edge, which is why the old man was so angry.

However, if Wen Yang is really fired by the company because of this, then it would be a real loss, and she would be even less likely to get her money back in the future.

Thinking of this, the old man looked at Wang Mingxia with a somber expression.

Wang Mingxia, feeling embarrassed by what she had just been told, stood to the side with her eyes downcast.

Now, with the old man's signal, and ignoring Wen Shiming's silent reaction from the sofa, he quickly went over and opened the locked door.

As soon as the door opened, Wen Yang, who was leaning against the door, immediately collapsed out.

She was half-lying on the ground, her head hanging low. Her once smooth, dark short hair was now messy, like a clump of unkempt weeds, obscuring her face.

Fang Li's heart clenched suddenly.

Wang Mingxia glanced awkwardly at Fang Li and Zhou Yufan, then quickly helped Wen Yang up from the ground.

She didn't forget to turn back and explain to them, "This child had a fight with her father, and before she knew it, she locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out. Look at her like this..."

After saying that, he turned back to Wen Yang and said, "Yangyang, your colleagues and boss are here. Why don't you hurry up and tidy up? Otherwise, people will laugh at you."

"Wen Yang." Fang Li really used a lot of strength to suppress the anger in her heart and make her voice sound as calm as possible.

Wen Yang, who had been keeping her head down and not speaking, seemed to tremble when she heard her voice. After a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked over through the hair that was covering her eyes.

"Fang..." Wen Yang murmured only one word before she was on the verge of tears.

Fang Li disregarded everything else and rushed over to push Wang Mingxia aside, personally helping Wen Yang.

When she got closer, she noticed that Wen Yang had a large bruise on the corner of her mouth, and her cheek on the side closest to her was swollen, with five bright red handprints on it.

It's easy to imagine what she went through alone in that house before they arrived.

And these people were actually her closest relatives, whom she had considered herself to be since childhood?!

"Why are you here?" Wen Yang smiled, as if she wanted to smile at her.

As a result, the moment her lips moved, her pale face immediately scrunched up.

Fang Li felt both heartache and anger, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

"Stop talking and leave here first. I'll take you to see something."

After saying that, she ignored the reaction of Wen Yang's family and helped Wen Yang walk out.

Zhou Yufan stared coldly at the two patriarchs on the sofa the whole time. Wen Shiming looked away uncomfortably under his gaze, while the old man had some resentment in his eyes. If it weren't for Zhou Yufan's status as his leader, he probably would have said a few words to him as well.

Just as Fang Li was helping Wen Yang out of the house, a woman in a purple dress sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up and blocked their way.

"Wait first!"

Fang Li stopped in her tracks, staring at her with icy eyes.

"Yangyang, I see that you have a pretty good relationship with your colleagues and boss. Why don't you ask them to lend you some money?"

The woman had a well-thought-out plan on her face. She looked at Fang Li's high-end clothes and the bag in her hand. The bag looked simple and elegant, but she recognized the golden logo on the front very clearly.

A Hermès tote bag can cost over 200,000 yuan in a boutique!

Anyone who can afford to carry a bag like this must be rich.

Judging from Fang Li's age, she's about the same age as Wen Yang. To be able to afford such a bag, she must either be from a wealthy family or have a wealthy man in her life.

Needless to say, this woman must have found a rich man.

After all, if someone were truly wealthy, why would they need to go to work?

She blinked her large, European-style double eyelids, which had been surgically altered, and her long eyelashes, which had been implanted some time ago and were mostly falling out, as she looked at Fang Li and then at Wen Yang with great interest.

To be honest, Fang Li has never seen as much of the world as she has in her entire life.

In front of her, he made Wen Yang ask her to borrow money?

Is this something a normal person would say?

Wen Yang was stunned, seemingly not expecting to hear such words from her family. "Aunt, do you know what you're saying?"
