Chapter 62: Since you know you're wrong, then commit suicide to apologize

Just as I thought. Xiao Minghong finished speaking, gestured to the servants to let Wen Fengshu in.

Soon, Wen Fengshu brought her grandson Wen Dongyu, daughter-in-law Ding Wan, and the rest of the Wen family, their faces weary, walking toward the Yuxi Villa courtyard.

Damn bastard, this Xiao Ming is actually so wealthy.

Wen Dongyu saw the luxury inside the villa, his eyes nearly popping out; he hadn't expected that the three siblings he previously looked down on would actually be living in such a nice place, living better than him.

Thinking of this, he became angry.

"What are you saying?" Wen Fengshu turned and slapped Wen Dongyu, fiercely saying: "We came here to beg them to spare us."

"You all, keep your mouths shut, watch your attitudes; whoever messes up, see how I'll deal with them when I get back."

After scolding, Wen Fengshu composed herself, pulling back her anger and resentment, instantly becoming a pitiful elderly lady, leading the Wen family onward.

"Jingrou, Yuchun, Grandma has come to apologize to you." As soon as she reached the garden, seeing the two sisters Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, Wen Fengshu hurried over, feigning pitifulness.

"Grandma was wrong, please, forgive Grandma, okay?" As she spoke, Wen Fengshu seemed to truly realize her mistake, tears streaming down.

"Tch!" Wen Yuchun snorted disdainfully, looking at Xiao Ming, her eyes seeming to say, "See, I told you so?"

Xiao Ming saw Wen Fengshu's face and felt extreme disgust.

He didn't want to exterminate them, but seeing her act, it really matched what his eldest daughter said, so Xiao Ming immediately changed his mind: "Wen Fengshu, not going into the entertainment industry is truly a pity."

"You came here to act."

"Xiao Ming, I truly came to ask for forgiveness." Wen Fengshu continued to wipe her old tears pitifully: "I'm sorry to the children, it's my fault."

"Since you know you're wrong, then commit suicide to atone." Wen Yuchun said bluntly.

Xiao Ming nodded, apparently agreeing with his daughter's statement.

Wen Fengshu's face changed instantly, she wailed: "Children, I'm your grandmother!"

"Xiao Ming, no matter what, I am Zihan's mother!" Wen Fengshu said sorrowfully: "Everything before was my fault; these days I've figured it out—I can go to Zihan's grave and kneel to apologize."

Wen Fengshu's face was full of remorse; if not for Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun being used to her changing expressions, they would almost have been moved by this repentant attitude.

"Hehe." Xiao Ming looked at Wen Fengshu as if she were a joke: "Alright, Wen Fengshu, drop your clumsy act; I'm no fool, I won't buy this."

"My child won't buy this either."

Seeing her face, Xiao Ming felt extreme disgust and didn't want to continue entangling with her, so he said bluntly: "I suppose you came here to get me to spare the Wen Clan."

"Father." Wen Jingrou, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Seeing Wen Jingrou's several attempts to speak but stopping, Xiao Ming understood his daughter's meaning.

The anger in his heart surged up rapidly.

Look, his child is so kind, yet Wen Fengshu isn't even willing to treat such a kind child well—utterly heinous.

"The despicable things you've done would let me kill you a hundred times over, but out of respect for Zihan, I won't exterminate you."

"So, I'll point you to a clear path; this is your only chance."

"Right now, the Wen Clan's stock price has hit rock bottom, the Wen Clan is about to face bankruptcy; you Wen family members, your shares are worthless, but I can buy your Wen family's shares at fifteen times the current market price." Xiao Ming said indifferently.

Xiao Ming is a businessman; a businessman's ultimate goal is money.

"Being able to avenge Wen Zihan and the children while making money—why wouldn't he?"

"What?" Wen Dongyu heard it and immediately exploded: "Xiao Ming, this is outright robbery."

"Before, the Wen Clan's stock was over ninety; now it's dropped to a few jiao; even if Xiao Ming offered fifteen times that price, it's only about ten or so yuan, compared to before, that shrinkage is twenty- to thirty-fold."

"So what?" Xiao Ming glanced coldly at Wen Dongyu, sneering: "Do you have any other choice? You could also refuse; I'll plainly tell you, I won't let the Wen Clan off—you'll just wait for bankruptcy, likely carrying huge debts for the rest of your lives; if you can't, you could even commit familicide, which would also show unity."

"I said, this is your only chance; if you're unwilling, the door's over there—walk out slowly, I won't see you off."

"Xiao Ming." Hearing his words, Wen Fengshu was speechless with anger, but she quickly suppressed her emotions, saying low and furious: "Xiao Ming, you're being too extreme."

"You will surely face retribution; no matter what, I am Zihan's mother, her life came from me, yet you treat me so cruelly—do you deserve Zihan? You're not fit to be human."

"Wen Jingrou, Wen Yuchun, at least you carry my blood; I am your true grandmother, yet you two actually teamed up with an outsider to scheme against this old lady—ask yourselves, are you worthy of your conscience?"

"Conscience, you dare to utter those two words?" Xiao Ming shouted coldly, his gaze at Wen Fengshu full of killing intent.

Just as Wen Yuchun said, this old thing—indeed, when peace talks fail, he flies into a rage.

"Dad, she'll never repent; I could never forgive her."

Wen Yuzhe, who had just returned home, heard Wen Fengshu's accusation and angrily walked over.

"Wen Fengshu, look."

Xiao Ming sneered: "Did you see? I said, your acting is truly clumsy; even if you aren't sincerely repentant, even if you are, the tragedy you caused for Zihan and the children is irreparable, and I won't easily let you off."

"Seeing how hard you're trying, I'll make an exception and give you another option." Xiao Ming glanced at the Wen family.

"At this moment, the Wen Clan's stock is seventy fen; if I don't intervene, the Wen Clan's bankruptcy is inevitable, and you all will have to bear huge debts for the rest of your lives."

"I'll use fifteen yuan to buy the shares you hold."

"For example, Wen Dongyu, if all the shares you hold were bought at fifteen yuan each, they'd be worth several million; you could get several million and still live debt-free."
