Wen Nuan rushed home in a hurry. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw several police cars parked there, and several police officers were escorting her father into a vehicle. Wen Nuan burst into tears instantly. Even though she was naive, she understood that something terrible had happened. She cried out and rushed forward, only to be pulled away by the police.
Father Wen only had time to shout to her, "Nuan Nuan, be careful of Fang Liucheng!"
Wen Nuan watched helplessly as the police car drove away with her father. Outside the Wen family's house, a group of people gathered, pointing and whispering. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. Her father was taken away, and before leaving, he left such a puzzling message.
What did it mean? Why was her father taken away by the police? She was completely in the dark. Suddenly, she thought of her mother and sister, so she gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and rushed into the house.
The house was in a mess. Two uncles, several cousins (both male and female), her uncle, and her female cousin were all in the hall. Mother Wen was sitting on the sofa, weeping bitterly, while Wen Jing was beside her, comforting her with red - rimmed eyes.
"Mom, Jing Jing..." Wen Nuan called out anxiously.
Mother Wen, who was crying, suddenly looked up. Wen Nuan was shocked to see that her mother's eyes were blood - shot, and her expression turned ferocious in an instant. Like a madwoman, she jumped up from the sofa and slapped Wen Nuan hard.
A bright red handprint immediately appeared on Wen Nuan's fair cheek, and the searing pain made her stagger.
"Mom, what are you doing? This has nothing to do with sister!" Wen Jing quickly got up and held back Mother Wen, who wanted to hit Wen Nuan again. Wen Nuan's mind went blank, completely unable to understand what was happening.
The uncles, cousins, and the uncle's family all stared at her with hostile eyes. Their gazes made Wen Nuan feel as if she was being pricked by thorns, and her heart turned cold. They all accused her, looking at her with resentment.
"Wen Nuan, you're so despicable.
You actually colluded with Fang Liucheng to send uncle to prison. What on earth are you thinking?" Wen Xiuli, the eldest cousin, scolded angrily.
"Humph, you didn't come home all night last night.
You must have been fooling around with Fang Liucheng. Do you deserve uncle?" Wen Meili, the second cousin, sneered.
"Sister - in - law, why don't you kick this daughter out of the house? If it weren't for her liking Fang Liucheng and stealing big brother's information for him, would the Wen family have ended up like this?" the second uncle shouted angrily.
...
Wen Nuan suddenly laughed, a brilliant laugh that spread from her face to her eyes, but it made everyone present feel afraid.
Wen Nuan was the kind of woman who, even at the extreme of sadness, could still laugh brightly, as if that smile had never left her face.
Wen Jing quickly hugged her and said, "Sister, don't listen to them. It has nothing to do with you!"
Then, Wen Jing turned her head, pointed at the door, and shouted, "Get out! All of you get out of our house!"
The Wen family was quite well - known in City A. Although they didn't belong to the upper class, they were well - off. Father Wen started from scratch, rising from a small contractor to the chairman of a construction company. Wen's Construction Co., Ltd. was also somewhat famous in the industry.
However, Fang Liucheng secretly took control of the company and reported Father Wen to the police for bribery and suspected commercial crimes. Father Wen was thus detained by the police for investigation. A few months ago, a family - type smuggling crime case in a coastal city had a wide - reaching impact. Many people in the officialdom and enterprises were arrested one after another, and Father Wen was unfortunately involved in this large - scale economic case.
As soon as Father Wen was arrested, the Wen family's enterprise, which had been taken over by Fang Liucheng, collapsed like a house of cards. Fang Liucheng easily took over the Wen family's property and saddled the Wen family with a huge debt of tens of millions. The Wen family's villa would be sealed and auctioned in a few days, and all the property under the Wen family's name would be confiscated.
Unconsciously, Wen Nuan had become an accomplice in Fang Liucheng's scheme. Over the years, she had been so focused on liking Fang Liucheng that she never thought about why he always asked her about her father's whereabouts and the details of her father's business talks...
Just then, Fang Liucheng walked into the Wen family's house with steady steps, his hands clasped behind his back. He was dressed in a white suit that perfectly outlined his fit figure. His handsome features had a tough edge, exuding a cold and intimidating aura. Standing at the door, he naturally had an air of giving orders. Wen Nuan felt cold inside. So, all the tenderness and kindness he had shown over the years were just a disguise.
Mother Wen, seeing this, rushed towards Fang Liucheng like a mad person, trying to hit him, but was pushed aside by the bodyguard beside him. Wen Nuan and Wen Jing quickly stepped forward to help her up.
Mother Wen was so angry that she was trembling all over. Pointing at Fang Liucheng's nose, she cursed him for being ungrateful and repaying kindness with enmity. Fang Liucheng just sneered. Wen Nuan had been lowering her head, but suddenly she looked up and asked, "Fang Liucheng, why are you doing this?"
Fang Liucheng was slightly startled when he heard her call his name directly, then a cold smile curved his lips. "Why? I just want your Wen family to taste the bitterness of family ruin."
It turned out that more than ten years ago, the Fang family was just a small construction company. Father Wen acquired the Fang family, forcing the Fang family's couple to jump off a building hand in hand, leaving behind the young Fang Liucheng in an orphanage. Later, Father Wen learned during his inspections that there was an orphan in the Fang family. Feeling pity, he adopted Fang Liucheng.
Fang Liucheng grew up almost with Wen Nuan, and then entered Father Wen's company, eventually bringing down the Wen family.
At this moment, Wen Nuan realized that Fang Liucheng had long been successful and had his own business empire. He had been lurking in the Wen family just to carry out his vicious revenge plan.
"Well, what a perfect plan," Wen Nuan sneered in her heart.
"Nuan Nuan, thank you so much," Fang Liucheng said with a hint of venom in his voice, along with a sense of pleasure from revenge.
Wen Nuan straightened her back, showed a sweet smile, and gritted her teeth, saying word by word, "Fang Liucheng, the wheel of fortune turns. There will come a day when you stumble, and I'll be waiting."
Fang Liucheng looked at her and seemed to see a dazzling radiance in her. Rarely had he seen this woman who had always chased after him show such a compelling look. Fang Liucheng's eyes darkened slightly.
When she was young, she fell in love with Fang Liucheng, who was elegant and gentle. With youthful enthusiasm, she impulsively and ignorantly pursued him wholeheartedly.
She once stood on the top of the tallest building in City A, shouting that she would marry him one day.
From childhood to adulthood, she had been chasing after him like a moth to a flame. Fang Liucheng treated her with alternate affection and distance. This kind of ambiguous attitude only further aroused her desire to conquer.
The young Wen Nuan didn't understand at that time that this was just a means of Fang Liucheng's.
Yesterday was her birthday. Fang Liucheng asked her what gift she wanted, and she shyly proposed to start a relationship with him. Fang Liucheng smiled and asked her to wait for him in the presidential suite of GK Oriental Hotel.
She originally wanted to refuse. Wen Nuan was a woman who cherished her chastity. But under the instigation of her friends, she agreed. After drinking a lot of alcohol, she went to GK Oriental International Hotel in a daze and went up to the 52nd floor...
Wen Nuan had just realized that she had given herself to the wrong person and was filled with regret. On the way back, she secretly swore that if she found out who that man was, she would make him pay. How dare he take advantage of her when she was drunk.
But at this moment, she sincerely thanked that strange man from last night. Fortunately, it wasn't Fang Liucheng, otherwise, what would be left of her?
Fang Liucheng stood there, backlit. His dark eyes glistened, and Wen Nuan couldn't see his expression clearly. She only heard him laugh coldly and say, "Wen Nuan, admit it. You love me, and you've lost, completely lost."
Once, Wen Nuan was a carefree little princess, but now, because of Fang Liucheng, she became a Cinderella overnight.
The Wen family was completely ruined. The company was annexed by Fang Liucheng, and the senior members of the Wen family were driven out of Wen's enterprise.
Her second uncle and third uncle vented their anger on them, turning a blind eye to their plight. They watched as the three of them, mother and daughters, were about to be on the streets without offering any help. Her uncle's family also remained indifferent.
Mother Wen had no choice but to take her two daughters back to her natal family, but they were unceremoniously driven out by her uncle's family and endured cold words. Wen Jing and Wen Nuan were both proud girls who couldn't stand this kind of treatment. Such ungrateful relatives were not worth having.
In this world, there are many who add flowers to the brocade, but few who offer help in times of need.
In just two days, Wen Nuan had experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
She had a splitting headache. She was still a sophomore in college, Wen Jing was still in middle school, and her mother had been a housewife for years. Now, all the family's savings had been frozen by the bank, and they were almost penniless.
Mother Wen had no choice but to sell her jewelry at a low price and spent all the money on hiring a lawyer. She was determined to hire the best lawyer to defend Father Wen, hoping that the family could be reunited soon.
With all the money spent on the lawyer, the three of them had no extra money to rent an apartment. They could only make do with dry bread for three meals a day. At night, the three of them sat by the riverside, blankly looking at the night view. Passing tourists looked at them with surprise.
Wen Nuan had never imagined that one day she would end up like this.
However, it seemed that even more tragic things were yet to come.
One day, when the three of them, mother and daughters, were discussing Father Wen's matter with the lawyer, Fang Liucheng walked over leisurely. Mother Wen's eyes immediately filled with anger, Wen Nuan looked wooden, and Wen Jing stared coldly. The lawyer gently shook his head, indicating that they should not provoke Fang Liucheng.
Now, Fang Liucheng was the chairman of the Fang Group, a large - scale group that had risen rapidly in recent years, involving three fields: construction, entertainment, and aviation. Now, Fang Liucheng was a young talent second only to Ye Feimo, the president of Anning International Group in City A. He had power and influence, and they, ordinary people, couldn't afford to offend him.
"I heard that you three, mother and daughters, have been sleeping on the street for two days?" Fang Liucheng asked Wen Nuan, his eyes deep.
"It's none of your business!" Wen Nuan replied coldly.
"Wen Nuan, let's make a deal. Be my mistress, and I guarantee you'll have a life of luxury for the rest of your life. Your mother and sister will also be taken good care of," Fang Liucheng said without hesitation.
Mother Wen was so angry that she almost fainted, clutching her chest and gasping for breath.
Wen Nuan was so angry that her nails almost dug into her palm, and her body trembled slightly with extreme anger. But she suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Fang Liucheng, I'd rather be violated by a stranger than let you touch me."
Fang Liucheng's eyes flashed with anger when he heard her mention being violated by a stranger. Something seemed to prick his heart. He sneered, ruthless and cold, "Wen Nuan, I swear, you'll beg me to touch you one day."
