CHAPTER 848: CHAPTER 759: DISLOCATED LIVES 47

Shuangshuang’s tone was very gentle when she spoke, but after she finished, she suddenly struck, giving Wen Zhijin a resounding slap. The entire banquet hall heard it, and Wen Zhijin was hit so hard that she staggered back several steps and then fell to the ground.

Half of Wen Zhijin’s face quickly swelled up, her already frightening face became even more terrifying. Shuangshuang’s strength was enormous; with this one slap, Wen Zhijin immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, which even contained a tooth, and her face swelled up in an instant, pressing her eyes shut.

With just one slap, Wen Zhijin’s face became very asymmetrical, one side big and the other small. Yet the onlookers who witnessed Shuangshuang’s action didn’t feel she was excessive at all, even Zhu Shihao just turned his head slightly with an unpleasant expression, saying nothing.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun looked at Wen Zhijin with disappointment. Seeing Shuangshuang hit her, they didn’t feel it was too much for Shuangshuang to be so ruthless because they were aware of how harsh she could be on herself.

At the same time, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun were also disheartened, realizing how vicious their daughter’s mind was, being able to conceive such a method to deal with Shuangshuang, being so ruthless to herself just to frame Shuangshuang. This left Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun both disheartened and somewhat startled.

Many people are ruthless; Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun had seen many ruthless individuals in the business world, but there weren’t many who could be so ruthless to themselves just to frame others.

After hitting Wen Zhijin, Shuangshuang coldly smiled and casually took a wet wipe to wipe her hands, as if she had touched something dirty. She then said to Wen Zhijin, who was sitting on the ground, holding half of her face and looking at her in disbelief, "The flaw I want to tell you is that I am a martial artist, and I strike very heavily. If I had really beaten you so many times, you would have lost half your life by now and wouldn’t have the strength to come and frame me."

After saying this, Shuangshuang didn’t wait for Wen Zhijin to explain and directly threw the wet wipe at her, then said softly to Zhu Wanpeng, "I’m sorry, Uncle Zhu. I’m not in a good mood today, and to not affect everyone’s mood, I’ll take my leave first."

Having said this, Shuangshuang prepared to leave directly. She was in a bad mood today and didn’t want to keep pretending to deal with people, nor did she want to say anything to Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun, who were the biological parents of Wen Zhijin. No matter what they had to say, Shuangshuang was not in the mood to listen right now.

Moreover, Shuangshuang didn’t want to embarrass Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun, because with their biological daughter treating their foster daughter like this, the ones who would feel most awkward and embarrassed would undoubtedly be Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun.

Zhu Wanpeng didn’t try to persuade Shuangshuang to stay either. He understood her feelings. Although she had always maintained a calm demeanor and beautifully turned the tables, not only cleansing herself of the dirty water Wen Zhijin had flung at her but also exposing the other’s facade, she won gracefully and elegantly indeed.

But no matter how beautifully one wins, it doesn’t change the fact that Shuangshuang is not yet sixteen, still a carefree young girl who shouldn’t have had to endure this, yet is forced to face the bitterness of her biological parents becoming someone else’s and being plotted against by the biological daughter of those she was once closest to.

Furthermore, in the current situation, it was better for Shuangshuang to leave, or else facing the tangled mess among Wen Jianyun, Liu Yun, and Wen Zhijin would also be troublesome. It was better to avoid it directly. How Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun would handle Wen Zhijin was their business.

However, as a shrewd person, Zhu Wanpeng didn’t forget to show kindness to Shuangshuang at this time, proactively promising, "Don’t worry, Shuangshuang. I won’t let that little star who helped Wen Zhijin frame you go unnoticed. I promise, she will absolutely not have another place to stand in the future."

Zhu Wanpeng didn’t make any promises about how to deal with Wen Zhijin, not because he wasn’t able to handle it, but because, fundamentally, this was a family affair of Shuangshuang’s. It wasn’t appropriate for Zhu Wanpeng to hastily meddle without Shuangshuang’s request.

The executives waiting to make acquaintances with Shuangshuang secretly hated being outdone by Zhu Wanpeng but followed suit, promising they would also help ensure that little star could no longer make waves in the entertainment industry.

After thanking them one by one, Shuangshuang glanced at Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun, who were looking at her with guilt and unease, mixed with a hint of hope. Hesitating for a moment, she sighed, looked at Wen Zhijin, who had been sitting silently with her head lowered.

"Wen Zhijin, I know what you’re worried about. I can tell you that from now on, I won’t want either the Wen Family’s company or the Wen Family’s assets. The Wen Family’s money, I won’t take a penny. No matter what your character is like, you are a Wen Family bloodline, which is indisputable, so the family property is yours, you don’t have to worry about me seizing it."

Wen Zhijin bit her lower lip, bowed her head, neither speaking nor moving, yet her eyes were filled with humiliation. Everyone knew Shuangshuang is a gold digger now, of course, she doesn’t care about the Wen Family’s money because Shuangshuang doesn’t need it at all.

Wen Zhijin was convinced that Shuangshuang was only saying this now to showcase herself, making everyone dislike her more in comparison, while elevating herself. This hypocritical woman made Wen Zhijin tremble with hatred, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, causing stabbing pain.

While Wen Zhijin felt hate and humiliation hearing Shuangshuang’s words, the bystanders saw Shuangshuang’s broad-mindedness. How many people, after being plotted against, could make such a gracious decision?

In reality, Shuangshuang wasn’t as magnanimous and righteous as everyone thought. Her plan was that after Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun transferred the companies to Wen Zhijin, she would find a way to make those companies go bankrupt. After all, she would take care of Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun in their later years, ensuring they never suffer.

As for whether they would feel lost after the companies collapsed, Shuangshuang assured herself that she would keep them both so busy, whether with play or work, that they wouldn’t have time to feel that way.

Without status, without reputation, as long as there’s money, Wen Zhijin could still use her wealth to buy some flattering adoration from those who love wealth above all else. There are plenty of people in the world like that, so even with a bad reputation, as long as there’s money, life wouldn’t be too bad. Only taking away her fundamental financial means would truly cast Wen Zhijin, who resorts to any means for money, into Hell.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun didn’t know Shuangshuang’s plans. Hearing her words to Wen Zhijin, they thought Shuangshuang was thoroughly disheartened, wanting to sever ties with the Wen Family and with them to avoid suspicion, which was a huge blow to them.
