C7 Prepare to Meet!
Wen Chichi never hid the truth about Zhouzhou's origins. So, joking about it now felt completely natural and open. She never believed that just because someone slept with her, she should be devastated, nor did she think having Zhouzhou was any different from anyone else's experience. If there was any wrongdoing, it was on the part of those who wronged her. Why should a victim live a life of grievance and fear?
Zhouzhou only felt a twinge of regret over a shattered dream. His mom always told him not to have high expectations of his biological father, but he could count on her. Since his mom was already amazing, a dad didn’t matter much. He just needed to inherit her genes!
He snuggled under the covers, nestled in Wen Chichi's arms, and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Wen Chichi woke up early, took Zhouzhou out for breakfast, and returned to the Wen family home to find Wang Hongyan and Wen Zhengze in a heated argument.
"What are you saying! Give everything Bai Xuege left to Wen Chichi? You want us to hand over the jewelry and properties? What about Jiaojiao and me? And the company shares? Zhengze, have you lost your mind? If Wen Chichi has all that, why would she listen to us and obediently marry into the Fu family?"
That wretched Bai Xuege left quite an inheritance!
She couldn't stand the thought of letting that jerk get away with it!
Even Jiaojiao couldn't help but gently advise, "Dad, you originally wanted my sister to marry into the Fu family for her own good. How can you justify spending so much money on her wedding? Besides, you've already given everything Aunt Bai left to Mom and me."
Wen Chichi found it amusing. Jiaojiao and Hongyan really had no shame.
It was her mother's inheritance, yet they shamelessly claimed it for themselves. They acted like they were doing her a favor when, in reality, they wanted her out of the picture!
Wen Zhengze also felt sorry for Jiaojiao and impatiently reassured her, "This is just a temporary measure. Last night, the old master of the Fu family called me. He said Second Master Fu personally agreed to the marriage. Once Wen Chichi marries into the family, we'll have a connection with the Fu family. For now, we just have to make some sacrifices. Once she's married, who knows what the future holds..."
When everything settled, if she refused to return the shares, even if Second Master Fu didn't deal with her, he wouldn't show any mercy.
Wen Chichi could easily see through their little schemes. She casually stepped forward, smiling, "Exactly, so you should return the things first and convince me to marry in."
As soon as she appeared, the expressions of the three people changed.
Wen Jiaojiao was seething inside. She had thought that marrying Wen Chichi into the Fu family would be all gain and no loss. But she never expected this woman to use the opportunity to leverage them and reclaim Bai Xuege's assets!
The atmosphere was eerily silent for a few seconds.
Finally, Wen Zhengze broke the silence, "Old Master Fu wants to see you tonight. Get ready and don't disappoint him."
Wen Chichi glanced up at Wen Zhengze, "I can meet him, but after that, let's get the asset transfer agreement signed."
She didn't trust the Wen family's integrity. The sooner she could reclaim her mother's belongings, the better.
Wen Zhengze agreed with a dark expression, "Alright, as long as Old Master Fu is satisfied with you."
Wen Chichi remained noncommittal.
Wen Zhengze's gaze shifted to the little one beside her, hesitating, "Should the child stay here?"
Was he out of his mind? Leave Zhouzhou with these people?
Wen Chichi casually replied, "Don't worry, Old Master Fu will love Zhouzhou."
Her son was the best in the world; how could anyone not like him?
