Chapter 437 One is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure

Wen Yang was sandwiched between the two, like a prisoner being escorted.

She looked around and saw that some passersby had already raised their phones to take pictures, and others were whispering and pointing.

A wave of shame washed over her from the soles of her feet, scalding her ears and making them ring.

"mom!"

She spoke with difficulty, "Could we find a quiet place to talk...?"

“Say it right here!”

Wen Tao interrupted sharply, "You know what shame is? If you don't help me, I'll be unable to hold my head up in front of the Zhang family, and when relatives point fingers at me, don't you think about my situation? If you don't transfer 500,000 yuan to me today, don't even think about leaving!"

"Five hundred thousand?!"

Wen Yang was shocked, her expression changing drastically: "Wasn't it 300,000?!"

Wen Tao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said stiffly, "The bride price is 300,000, but the wedding is free, right? Anyway, you have to give me 500,000, not a penny less!"

"........"

Seeing her own brother's unreasonable behavior, Wen Yang felt a tightness in her chest that was about to burst.

He stared intently at Wen Tao, gritting his teeth.

Seeing the siblings like this, Wen Yang's mother began to sob, wiping away her tears with her fingers: "Yangyang, please help your mother one last time, okay... Your father's temper is getting worse and worse because of this. I really don't know what to do. He's your brother, after all. We're family, if you don't help him, who will?"

Several bruises were faintly visible on Wang Mingxia's wrist.

Wen Yang abruptly pulled up her sleeve, shocked: "My dad... he hit you again?"

Wang Mingxia lowered her eyes and wiped away her tears. "I'm fine. Your father just drank too much and was in a bad mood, that's why... I can understand."

"........"

These words were like a blunt knife, stabbing hard into the softest part of Wen Yang's heart.

She always said the same things. When she was admitted to university, she was forced to drop out, and she absolutely refused. She said the same things when her father pinned her to the ground and beat her.

Not only did she defend her father, but she also said things like, "It's not easy for your brother to find a job. It doesn't matter whether a girl goes to university or not. She'll have to find a husband anyway. Instead of spending that money on university, it's better to use your connections to find your brother a good job."

As long as your brother has a good job and lives a good life, even after you get married, your in-laws won't dare to look down on you. Your brother can even help you then.

Wen Yang only got into university after threatening to kill herself.

Moreover, apart from the tuition for the first semester, she promised not to ask her family for a single penny during her four years of university.

Even so, she still had to send money home during her university years, otherwise they would set her up on blind dates and force her to get married at any time.

In the past, Wen Yang would feel sorry for her mother when she saw her like this.

But now, she only feels powerless.

One is willing to give and the other is willing to receive; it's all their own doing, and no one can sympathize with them.

"Mom! Tell me, how can I help?!"

Wen Yang's voice began to tremble, "Since I started working, haven't I given my family enough money? You wanted to buy my brother a wedding house outright, and I've already given you 200,000 yuan. I really have no more money!"

Wen Tao sneered and suddenly snatched her bag: "No money? Who are you kidding!"

He rummaged through Wen Yang's bag haphazardly, pulling out her cosmetics, phone, and wallet: "If you have no money, what are all these?! The latest foldable phone must cost at least ten or twenty thousand! And these cosmetics, I've seen them at Mei Mei's place, they're all designer brands, each one costs hundreds or thousands!"

He then opened his wallet and pulled out the cards: "These cards too! I refuse to believe there's not a penny left in there. Do you think we're fools?!"

"I said no, and I mean no! The phone was a gift from a friend, the cosmetics were also a gift from someone else, and I have no money left in my card!"

"Did your friends give you all these things?"

Wen Tao sneered, "Since that friend is so generous, why don't you tell me? I'd like to ask your friend for some too!"

"Wen Tao! Don't go too far!"

Wen Yang reached out to snatch her bag back, but her mother held her tightly.

Wen Yang was shocked: "Mom! What are you doing?!"

"Yangyang, Mom knows you have money, so please help your brother!"

Wen Tao unlocked her phone right in front of her face, scrolled through her contacts to make a call: "I remember your friend's surname is Xu, right? I saw her on TV a while ago, she seems quite wealthy. In that case, she shouldn't mind helping your brother! I'll call her now!"

More and more people are watching.

Wen Yang saw someone live-streaming, with the camera directly focused on her disheveled appearance.

Xingli is just starting out, and Fang Li has already been quite troubled by the online criticism recently. If her issues are also spread online...

"Don't hit me! I'll give it to you!"

She finally relented, her voice barely audible, "I'll give you the money..."

Wen Tao smiled victoriously and released her wrist.

He threw the bag and phone at her.

Wen Yang caught the bag awkwardly, and tremblingly pulled out her wallet. There wasn't much cash inside, but she had a few credit cards that she could overdraft.

She mechanically calculated how much she could scrape together, her mind a complete blank.

What are you doing?

The deep, cold voice cleaved through the noisy crowd like a bolt of lightning.

Wen Yang suddenly looked up and saw Yu Tian striding towards her in a sharp black jacket, his temples neatly trimmed and his pale scalp faintly visible under the light.

He was followed by two other muscular men.

“Yu Tian…”

Wen Yang couldn't believe her eyes. "Weren't you supposed to be gone in a little while...?"

Yu Tian didn't answer, but simply stood in front of her, using his body to separate her from her family.

He was half a head taller than Wen Tao, and the authority he had gained from years of military service, combined with his cold and imposing aura, instantly silenced the surroundings.

"It seems you didn't heed my warning at the restaurant last time."

Yu Tian's icy tone held a sharp edge, "This time, do you not want your hands anymore, or are you even considering giving up the ability to walk altogether?"

do not know why.

Even though it's a society governed by the rule of law, Wen Tao didn't really believe Yu Tian would dare to do such a thing.

But listening to it still makes my heart tremble involuntarily.

Wen Tao's face turned pale, and he subconsciously took a step back: "What business is it of yours if I ask my own sister for money!"

Yu Tian sneered, pulling Wen Yang's hand and hiding her behind him: "I'm Yangyang's boyfriend, so tell me if it's none of my business?"

This statement exploded around us like a bomb.

Boy friend?

Wen Yang looked at her mother almost immediately. Sure enough, her mother, who had been worried about her son, turned to look at Yu Tian after hearing those words.

The look in his eyes gradually shifted from initial shock to suspicion, as if some long-buried memories were being stirred up little by little.

"You... haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Wen Yang's mother suddenly asked.
