Chapter 69 Pity for Wen Yan

Li's mother had lost her mind. Seeing her daughter imprisoned, she was determined to make Wen Yan pay. She lunged at Wen Yan with her bag, the studded bag capable of causing serious harm.

With people all around, Wen Yan couldn't dodge and could only shield her head to lessen the impact.

The next second, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

The studded bag hit the man's back heavily.

Although Wen Yan was unharmed, seeing Leng Xunze grunt in pain struck her heart like a hammer, causing it to ache slightly.

She knew the blow must have hurt a lot.

Li's mother, seeing Leng Xunze arrive, didn't lessen her attack. She cursed venomously, "Wen Yan, you truly are a slutty bitch. You're the bane of the Li family, causing your parents to divorce and Mengyao to go to jail. Now, go find a way to get Mengyao out, or I will never let you go!"

She raised the bag again, intending to strike.

A cold glint flashed in Wen Yan's eyes.

She was furious.

She directly grabbed the bag, ignoring the pain in her hand, and snatched the studded bag away, then slammed it heavily onto Li's mother.

Li's mother hadn't expected Wen Yan to fight back. She was hit hard in the face. Her nose felt as if it were about to shatter, and blood trickled down. She wiped it, her hand covered in blood. She screamed, becoming even more of a shrew, "Wen Yan, you dare to hit me? I'll kill you!"

Leng Xunze moved to intervene, but Wen Yan stepped forward and kicked out.

She appeared docile, but once provoked, she would never let the person off.

Especially since Li's mother had just hit Leng Xunze.

She was furious now.

The kick sent Li's mother sprawling to the ground. Li's mother, in pain, looked at Wen Yan in disbelief, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"Are you Wen Yan?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Surprised, aren't you? The one who always let you bully is finally fighting back." Wen Yan looked down at her. The wind ruffled her hair, but couldn't hide her reddened eyes, whether from anger or past grievances. "We were part of the Li family too. My mother and I did all the housework for the Li family, yet you still saw us as parasites, hitting and scolding us, while pretending to be a loving family outside. Now, you even want to ruin my purity, my reputation, and wish for me to be a target of public condemnation in Haicheng!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

Her back was straight, yet her figure appeared so petite.

Her slightly trembling speech struck everyone's heart.

They had all come expecting to see Wen Yan fail, but the situation had completely exceeded their expectations. The so-called ungrateful wretch, the cold-blooded and heartless person, was not Wen Yan at all. She was the one who had always been bullied and suppressed.

Leng Xunze gazed at the girl.

At that moment, he had an urge to pull her tightly into his arms.

To never let her suffer any harm again in this life.

Li's mother was also stunned by Wen Yan's demeanor.

But soon, Li Mengyao's situation brought her back to her senses. She yelled at Wen Yan, "But you shouldn't have sent your sister to jail! If you hadn't insisted on doing this, how could all these subsequent events have happened?"

"If I don't resist this time, you'll surely try again, and it will be even worse!" Wen Yan sneered.

She had seen through these people from the Wen family long ago.

Wen's mother stood outside the crowd. She had initially come to plead with Wen Yan at her brother's behest, but seeing the girl in the crowd, she suddenly felt like she was looking at a stranger. Was this truly her obedient and sensible daughter?

She didn't dare to go any further.

The reporters had already been captivated by Wen Yan.

The Li family's actions angered everyone.

"I never expected that the Li family, once a prominent clan, would have such poor character. No wonder they've been in decline all these years. Their bankruptcy is only natural."

"Alas, I feel so sorry for Wen Yan. I thought she was ungrateful, but it turns out she's the most pitiable one."

"I think I was wrong before. I must tell everyone the truth when I go back."

"This woman is truly detestable. How can she be so cruel to her own family? And now she has the audacity to come looking for Wen Yan? If I were Wen Yan, I'd call the police and have her arrested immediately!"

Wen Yan didn't want to argue with Li's mother any longer and turned to leave. For the first time, the reporters didn't stop her but parted to make way. Li's mother tried to chase after her, but the reporters blocked her.

They all felt sorry for Wen Yan.

Li's mother was furious but couldn't get through. Watching Wen Yan walk away, her vision went black.

Her Mengyao wouldn't be able to get out.

Back in the car.

Wen Yan leaned against the back of the seat and let out a long sigh.

Wrapped in the warmth of the seat, she felt completely relaxed. She suddenly thought that the Wuling Hongguang was quite good. Although its exterior was a bit low-class, the interior was very elegant. A faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, making one feel comfortable, and it didn't cause motion sickness.

Leng Xunze got into the driver's seat. Wen Yan looked at him.

"What is it?"

"Do you think I'm cruel?" Wen Yan parted her cherry lips.

The man looked at her. "No, on the contrary, I think you're very brave. You truly are my wife."

These words were like a shot of adrenaline for Wen Yan.

"Yes, husband, I definitely won't disgrace you." Wen Yan said, happily leaning over and planting a kiss on his cheek.

The strong fragrance lingered before dissipating. Leng Xunze's dark eyes deepened as he looked at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan, however, was caressing the seat. "Husband, where did your friend buy this Wuling Hongguang?"

"You like it?"

"Yes, I really like it." Wen Yan smiled.

Although the car wasn't expensive, the feeling of sitting in the same space, chatting and relaxing, was truly wonderful.

She suddenly understood why people said a car was a man's second home.

"It was bought a long time ago. He's changed cars now and doesn't use it much."

"Then should we buy it?" Wen Yan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Leng Xunze.

"If you like it, I'll use it to pick you up and drop you off from work."

Wen Yan frantically shook her head. Leng Xunze looked at her, puzzled.

The girl said seriously, "Husband, although our life is a bit tight, we can't always use other people's cars. I also know that anyone who can lend you a car must be a very good friend. They've been so good to us, and we should reciprocate. A family always needs a car. Since they don't use it much anymore, why don't we just buy it?"

Leng Xunze was slightly shocked by Wen Yan's words.

"Are you sure? The interior modifications alone cost a lot, over a hundred thousand yuan in total. We don't have that much money on hand right now." Leng Xunze said.

A hundred thousand yuan was a bit more than Wen Yan had anticipated.
