Wen Yisheng sat in her room all afternoon waiting for Uncle Wen to return, without moving an inch. Outside the French windows, the setting sun cast its last rays. Wen Yisheng sat on the carpet with her knees drawn up to the floor, her head resting against the window as she looked at her phone, memorizing English words.

A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door, and the butler's anxious voice rang out: "Miss Wen, Mr. Wen is in the lobby. Please come over immediately!"

Wen Yisheng snapped out of her daze, glanced out the window, and realized it was already evening. Uncle Wen had returned.

She can finally leave this place!

Wen Yisheng followed the strange-looking butler downstairs, but as soon as she reached the lobby, she saw a scene that shocked her.

Wen Yihan, who had almost violated him, knelt on the ground.

Uncle Wen held a whip in his hand, lashing it repeatedly across the boy's back: "You beast! At such a young age, your mind is already corrupt, you're lewd and shameless, your private life is as chaotic as a thug's! Leaving aside your misdeeds outside, you dare to act recklessly at home!"

"Thank goodness Ah Zhi is here. If anything were to happen to Sheng Sheng, even if you were my son, I would never go easy on you!"

Wen Yihan knelt with his head down, and every time the whip hit his back, he trembled all over in pain!

He cried and begged, "Dad, I know I was wrong! I'll change everything and never do it again! I just really like Sheng Sheng and treat her like a little sister. Maybe I was too enthusiastic and scared her. Dad, please don't hit me..."

Wen Congnan shouted sternly, "Still dare to talk back!"

Wen Yihan cried and pleaded with the woman, "Mom..."

A woman dressed in an elegant cheongsam, well-maintained, shielded Wen Yihan, saying, "Husband, Yihan already knows he was wrong, so please forgive him this time and give him a chance. Don't hit him again!"

The woman was Madam Wen, Wen Yihan's mother.

Wen Zhi was also in the hall.

He stood to the side, his voice still soft and gentle, but his eyes were extremely pale and cool: "Aunt Jiang, I know that my brother is not a bad person by nature. If Father disciplines him more, he will definitely get back on the right track. You also hope that he can grow up, right?"

These words were spoken.

Wen Congnan's anger, which had been quelled, reignited. He shoved the woman away, "It's all because you're protecting him! They're about the same age, but A-Zhi is so calm, sensible, and self-disciplined. I think this bastard has been spoiled by you since he was a child. Get out of my way!"

Slap, slap, slap, another round of hard blows.

Jiang Ling felt sorry for her precious son, but she didn't dare to stop Wen Congnan, who was in a fit of anger. She glared at Wen Zhi resentfully.

Wen Zhi glanced back with a calm expression, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with mockery.

In a direction unseen by outsiders, he slightly parted his thin lips, casually mouthing a gesture towards Jiang Ling—

"Bitch."

A mocking smile played at the corners of his mouth, a smile so malicious it was almost horribly offensive.

Jiang Ling could see the lip movements clearly. She clenched her hands, her sharp nails digging into her flesh in anger, and her lips trembled slightly.

This madman is just like his mentally ill mother!

Jiang Ling knew the boy was a monster from the very first day she brought her children to the Wen family ten years ago, but no one believed her.

Everyone thought Wen Zhi was an innocent and pitiful victim, a mistress who had given birth to illegitimate children, and a vicious stepmother who abused her husband's children from his first marriage!

The butler came downstairs and hurried to Jiang Ling's side: "Madam, I've called Miss Wen down..."

Jiang Ling looked up and saw a slender girl standing on the stairs. The girl had a fair face and delicate features. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. She was quiet and beautiful, a kind of beauty that was stunning at first glance but not ostentatious.

But upon seeing that face, Jiang Ling's heart sank.

It was even more embarrassing than when the little monster called me a bitch!

Having been a sophisticated socialite who had experienced all sorts of power struggles, Jiang Ling skillfully concealed her emotions, adopting a gentle and dignified demeanor: "Sheng Sheng?"

She took the girl's hand and said, "Sheng Sheng, Yi Han is such a spoiled brat. He's always been popular and surrounded by girls, so he has a bit of a misunderstanding about the differences between men and women. But your Uncle Wen and I are disciplining him!"

"He will never dare to be rude to you again. Please forgive him this time!"

Wen Yisheng sneered inwardly, thinking, "Like a beast in heat, calling it cognitive confusion?"

Wouldn't that mean all rapists would be innocent?

However, Wen Yisheng hadn't intended to pursue the matter. This situation was unexpected. She just wanted to tell Uncle Wen and leave quietly. In the Wen family, she was ultimately just an outsider.

Wen Yisheng looked at Wen Congnan and spoke up to dissuade him, "Uncle Wen, please stop hitting me. I'm fine now."

Wen Congnan was filled with remorse: "I'm sorry, Sheng Sheng. That bastard told me everything he did to you. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly." He then kicked Wen Yihan, "Apologize to Sheng Sheng!!"

Wen Yihan was kicked to the ground. Jiang Ling looked at him with pity and gave him a wink. The butler quickly helped the second young master up. Wen Yihan was in too much pain to stand and, with the help of others, weakly apologized, "Sheng Sheng, I'm sorry..."

After having dinner at the Wen family's house, Wen Yisheng hesitated for a moment, then went to the study and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Wen Congnan said from the study.

Wen Yisheng pushed open the door and went in. She saw Wen Zhi inside as well. She nodded slightly to him as a greeting, and the young man smiled back at her.

Unlike when he had whipped Wen Yihan, Wen Congnan wore a gentle and refined smile. "Is there something you need? Come, sit down and we'll talk."

"It just so happens that Ah Zhi and I were discussing your school enrollment, Sheng Sheng. We'll arrange for you to attend the same school as Ah Zhi so that he can take care of you."

Wen Yisheng was momentarily speechless.

Uncle Wen kindly sponsored her living expenses, provided her with accommodation, and even arranged a school for himself. If she were to suggest moving out again, wouldn't that seem a bit pretentious and ungrateful?

But she really didn't want to see Wen Yihan again.

The father and son's gazes fell on the girl.

Despite their stares, Wen Yisheng still spoke up: "Uncle Wen, I want to move..."

"If you mean moving out, I won't agree. It's very dangerous for a girl to live alone," Wen Congnan interrupted her, then asked, "Does Sheng Sheng want to move out because of Yi Han?"

Before Wen Yisheng could answer, Wen Congnan changed the subject: "Move out! I'll make that bastard get out of here tomorrow! You can stay home and relax, Shengsheng!"

...Huh?

Wen Yisheng was stunned upon hearing this, her expression blank for a few seconds before she reacted, and she hurriedly said, "No! Uncle Wen, please don't do this, it's my own fault..."

"You've already done enough for me, I don't want to cause you any more trouble."

Wen Congnan: "Your parents helped me when they were alive. I can say that without them, I wouldn't be alive today. Shengsheng, your uncle truly treats you like his own daughter. Don't feel guilty. Study hard and treat this place as your own home. That would be the greatest way to repay me."

"Don't worry about Yihan, he would never dare to bully you again."

Wen Yisheng couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she could only stay at the Wen family's house for the time being.

I'll apply for school dorms after the semester starts.

Wen Congnan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had given up the idea of ​​moving out. He then instructed Wen Zhi, "Sheng Sheng is half a year younger than you. She's your little sister. You need to take good care of her when I'm not home, and also when she's at school."

Wen Zhi smiled slightly as he nodded in agreement.

He will definitely take good care of Ah Sheng.
