Chapter 2818 - 2818: The Truth Is More Infuriating Than I Thought
In Wen Ruxia"s office.
The a.s.sistant knocked on the gla.s.s door. "Manager Wen."
"Come in." Dressed in a work suit, the tidy woman looked up from her busy schedule and spoke indifferently.
The a.s.sistant entered the office and quietly said, "Manager Wen, Young Master Wen is here with a friend."
Wen Ruxia immediately put down her fountain pen as a trace of surprise flashed across her dignified face. "Why is he here?"
The a.s.sistant did not say anything.
Wen Ruxia was not actually asking her. She leaned against the swiveling leather chair and nodded slightly. "Let him in."
A few minutes later, Wen Ziyu rushed into her office and said without sitting down, "Aunt, you heard that Uncle Jiang…"
"Stop!" Wen Ruxia got up and went to the water dispenser. Coming back, she leaned against the wide desk and looked at him with a faint smile. "Don"t tell me you still have improper thoughts about Zhui Guang?"
Wen Ziyu was stunned by her teasing. "What do you mean? I"m telling you that Uncle Jiang…"
Wen Ruxia dropped her smile. "I know."
Wen Ziyu looked at her in shock. "You know?"
Wen Ruxia took a sip of water to moisten her throat and looked away. Then, she put the cup back on the table and glanced at him angrily. "Master Nie and Jiang Li called me before you came."
"Then…" Wen Ziyu looked at her expectantly.
Unexpectedly, Wen Ruxia shook her head. "It"s not as simple as you think. Someone is encouraging them.
"I asked Jiang Li. He said that when he first looked for this family, they clearly wanted money. For the sake of Uncle Jiang"s reputation, he compromised and agreed to give them a million yuan as hush money. That family also agreed to shut up. Who knew that when he went to look for this family the next day, their att.i.tude changed 180 degrees? They righteously said that they would not sell their son and would not reconcile no matter what. They wanted to make this matter public! They said that they wanted to seek justice for their son."
Wen Ziyu did not expect this. "Why did they go back on their word?"
"Isn"t it normal to go back on your word?"
Wen Ruxia was much more experienced than him and was not surprised at all. Her eyes were bright as she calmly said, "These people want money! They"ll listen to whoever gives them more money. If someone gives more money than Jiang Li, they"ll choose to bite back."
Wen Ziyu pinched his palm and suppressed his anger. "So, what exactly is going on?"
"I"ve asked Master Nie. Master Nie said that this child often wanders outside the dormitory of Qing University"s employees. Sometimes, he doesn"t go home at night and is often injured.
"Your Uncle Jiang helped him a few times. Later, he found out that his arms and body were often bruised. When he asked, he found out that the child was beaten by his parents. There was no reason. Sometimes, when a couple encountered unhappy things, they liked to hit the child to vent their anger. Your Uncle Jiang sympathized with this child and helped him time and again. He took him to see a doctor, gave him food, and got him to take a shower.
"It was a rainy day and the child was beaten up again, so he kindly took the child in for the night. The next day, he gave the child the door key and asked him to go home after breakfast. He even gave his phone number and said that the child could contact him if needed. He then went to work at the research inst.i.tute."
