Chapter 847: Suffering the Consequences of One’s Own Actions (2)
Then, Wen Cheng turned his head to look at his daughter: “Wen Ruo, is there anything else you haven’t said?”
Wen Ruo bit down on her lips and did not dare to reply.
Jian Yuncheng’s voice was cold as he said: “Did you tell your father that you were too busy to design the jewelry pieces whilst working? Was that the reason why you stole my mother’s designs? Then what about the one you used when you participated in the jewelry design competition? Were you too busy back then as well?”
Wen Cheng’s voice was in disbelief as he confirmed this with his daughter: “Wen Ruo, is that true? Did you use your aunt’s designs in the jewelry design competition as well?”
Wen Ruo wanted to deny this. However, Jian Yuncheng was currently right in front of her. If she denied this, he would definitely be angrier. In fact, it would become impossible for her to ask for his forgiveness.
When Wen Ruo’s response was silent, Wen Cheng’s heart was in pain. It was as though a knife was being twisted into his heart.
“Wen Ruo... How could you... How could you do that...”
Wen Ruo cried and begged Wen Cheng to forgive her: “Father, I know I was wrong! Please scold me! You can even hit me!”
Wen Cheng raised his hand in anger. However, he did not end up hitting his daughter.
After all, she was his only child!
And thus, he could only beg Jian Yuncheng: “Yuncheng... Your cousin... She...”
However, Jian Yuncheng was not moved at all: “That day you were in the hospital, Yiling said that she would let this matter go just this once. It was not to be repeated. However, it is now the second time Wen Ruo harmed the Jian family.”
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue began to question him: “Yuncheng, are you really this cruel? Wen Ruo is your cousin! What do you want your uncle to do? What do you want your grandparents on the side of the Wen family to do?”
Jian Yuncheng remained unmoved: “My parents and siblings come first. Then, comes my other relatives. After all, Wen Ruo took action against my sister and mother. So, who do you think I should protect for first?”
Cai Qinyue attempted to argue against him: “But there’s no need to bring this case to court! Can’t we just settle this matter privately? Can’t your mother just sell the designs to us?”
Jian Yuncheng: “My mother’s designs can be sold. However, they are not to be sold in this way. You’re just attempting to make up for the fact that you stole the designs. If we did not expose your daughter’s actions, this incident would have been kept in the dark.”
As Cai Qinyue realized that Jian Yuncheng’s heart was as hard as iron, she knew that there was no room for negotiation with him. Therefore, she changed her approach: “Where is your mother? What does your mother think about this? I want to talk to your mother.”
Wen Nuan was rather soft-hearted. Compared to Jian Yuncheng, she was much easier to deal with.
Furthermore, Wen Nuan had a good relationship with her brother. If Wen Cheng asked her for help, there was a possibility for her to change her mind.
Jian Yuncheng: “As I mentioned previously, I will be handling this matter. For the time being, my mother will not get involved. Furthermore, even if my mother agrees to help you guys, it is useless. After all, I initiated the lawsuit and I control the jewelry company. My mother won’t be able to change the outcome.”
Jian Yuncheng did not give Wen Ruo any way out.
And thus, Wen Ruo began to cry: “Cousin, I made a mistake just this one time. Can’t you give me a chance to turn over a new leaf? Why are you so cruel to me? I’ve always been nice to you.”
Anyone else would have become softhearted when they saw the tear-stained face of a beauty.
However, Jian Yuncheng did not show any compassion: “Oh? Do you really think that there’s no evidence of you revealing Yiling’s identity? As for your frequent appearance in my office during this period of time, isn’t it because there are benefits for you?”
Then, Jian Yuncheng pulled open one of his drawers. He took out a stack of photos.
Upon seeing the photos, Wen Ruo’s eyes widened in shock.
The blood in Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue’s faces also faded away.
