Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 69 Stop Her

After stating that she would not forgive the Wen family, Jean Wen prepared to leave.

"Stop her!" Henry Wen was really enraged by Jean this time. 'How could this disobedient daughter

become such a daredevil? How dare she be disrespectful? I am her father! Although now Zed Qi can

protect her unconditionally, this fact cannot be denied and she should still respect me!' The more Henry

thought about Jean's behavior and her lack of respect, the angrier he became. So he decided that he

must teach her a lesson. Henry believed that only by doing so would Jean learn of the consequences

of her disobedience.

The moment Jean stepped out the door, Winner rushed to stop her.

Jean completely froze when Winner grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving. She frowned to show

her discontent.

She had not thought that Henry Wen was viperous and immoral enough to keep her against her

wishes. In the past, each time he was displeased with Jean, he would beat her. Did he really want to

imprison her or do something worse? If this was the case, then she should not have come to meet the

Wen family today.

"See? Can you still be so arrogant?" Winner Wen was very excited. Finally, he had found the

opportunity to be able to make Jean suffer. Not long ago, in the hospital, he had been beaten by Zed Qi

and insulted by Jean Wen. He still held a grudge against both. What was more, Jean's aggressive

behavior at the table today had infuriated Winner further.

Although Jean was somewhat scared, her anger exceeded the fear she felt. She clenched her fists

tightly as if to hold back her emotions before turning to face them slowly. Henry was Jean's biological

father and they bled the same blood. All these years, Jean had always respected and loved him. Jean

didn't think of herself to be the perfect daughter. But she could not believe that her father had described

her as disobedient. His claim was ridiculous!

Shirley Wen, her half-sister, had ruined Jean's reputation by posting lies on Weibo. And Henry did not

show any concern. Instead, he tried to intimidate Jean into dropping all the charges against them.

Did the Wen family truly believe that they would face no punishment for breaking the law? Did they

honestly think that she would keep forgiving all their attacks against her?

From then on, Jean was thoroughly disappointed with all members of the Wen family. And she hoped

that she would never have any relationship with them or get involved in their affairs.

She heard a loud sob and turned to see that Shirley was sitting on her chair with her face in her hands.

Even though she appeared to be crying, every time Shirley looked up, Jean could see the mockery in

her eyes. She seemed to be gloating at Jean's status as an outcast of the Wen family. Over time, it had

become quite apparent that no one from the Wen family loved Jean. On the contrary, Shirley was the

princess of the Wen family.

"I have raised you for so many years. Now you are so ungrateful. You stand by Zed Qi, while putting

our safety at risk. This matter is also related to you. So you have the duty to help us solve it. Do you

want to see the whole Wen family, which has supported you for more than 20 years, be taken to court?

I should have known that you are an ingrate! I wish that you had never been born. I should not have let

your mother give birth to you." Henry roared.

"Yes! You should not have allowed my mom to give birth to me." Jean screamed at Henry. Her tears

flowed freely. "You shouldn't have married my mom. You are to be blamed for my birth. Don't you know

how my mom suffered after she married you? You had a mistress even though you were married to

mom. You stayed at the Wen Group and worked late to avoid coming home. Not once did you think

about her! You didn't feel any sense of duty in all the years that you were married to her. And it was

because of your actions that she was bed-ridden all of those years after giving birth to me. It was you

who caused my mom's death. Can you say that you have nothing to do with her death?"

The memory of her childhood was very vague, but Jean could never forget the day when her mother

passed away. Where had her father been that day? Henry Wen had been indulging himself at a party

and having great fun! It was not long after her mom's death that Henry had brought his mistress home.

At that time, Jean was just a little girl and could not do anything to stop her father. The only thing Jean

could do was hide in her quilt and cry secretly every day.

Jean's lack of confidence and self-esteem was also caused by her experiences of being abused and

accused by members from the Wen family. But today, for her late mother's sake, she had to be strong

enough to fight back and protect herself. Even without Zed's help, she must not let anyone bully her.

No!

Henry's whole body shook when he heard Jean's accusations. He had never expected that she would

lose control and speak with him like this. He was startled. It took a minute for Henry to get over his

shock. His face became a mix of emotions ranging from anger to fear.

Silence permeated the room. No one present dared to breathe from fear of bearing Henry's wrath.

Shirley Wen was astonished at Jean's behavior. She had committed great errors today. Not only had

Jean disobeyed their father, she had accused him of ruining her childhood, being partial toward his

other children, sacrificing her for the sake of the Wen family and her mother's death. Moreover, she had

been unreasonable enough to yell at their father. Jean was absolutely crazy!

Joy Yi, who had been standing next to Henry Wen, patted his back and whispered, "Don't be so angry.

You are now in poor health. What if you get sicker after being enraged?"

Henry ignored Joy's words, pushed her away with great force, and walked toward Jean at an

unbelievable speed. He slapped Jean.

The sound from the slap reverberated through the silent room for what seemed like an eternity. Jean's

face stung from the impact. Henry had slapped Jean with such force that bright red blood flowed out

from her mouth. Her cheek become swollen instantly.

Everyone in the Wen family looked at Jean with haughty contempt and indifference. They wanted to

see Jean's misery. At this time, she stood there like a statue, unable to process what had happened.

"I didn't expect that you have hated me for so many years. If I had known that I had raised such an

ungrateful daughter, I wouldn't have let you stay in the Wen family after your mother died!" Henry's

hand trembled and his whole body shook. He was as terrifying as a rabid wolf, threatening all who

looked at him.

Jean Wen obstinately raised her head and looked at him in defiance. She gritted her teeth and said

slowly, "By giving you the land you so desired, I paid all my debts to you for raising me. This time, I will

consider your actions as a reminder of what kind of father you are. Thank you for making this simpler

for me. Now, I am convinced that the only way for the legal case to be solved is through Shirley. If she

admits her mistakes to the media and tells the truth, I will let this matter go and never see you again.

Otherwise, even if you hold a knife to my neck, I will not help you."

"Do you really think that I don't dare to do so? You are my daughter. I have the right to control you. I am

ordering you to return to the Wen house now. And stay in your room until you promise to help us. Then

I will let you go!" Henry snorted in response to Jean's threat. His eyes were cold and sharp.

"I don't mind if you want to get yourself into further legal trouble by restricting my personal freedom."

She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. Her pale cheeks, the blood on her lips, and the bitter smile

on her face was a reminder to the Wen family that Jean could not be terrorized.

"What do you mean?" Winner asked tentatively.

Jean wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and raised her eyebrows. "Zed has come with me

today. But I didn't ask him to come in. You know about his temper and how powerful he is. If I do not

return soon, you can imagine what the consequences will be."

When they heard Zed's name, the Wen family became scared.

But Winner did not take Jean's threat seriously. Glowering at Jean, he said, "So what if Zed Qi finds

out? What can he do? Do you think we are afraid of you? Men like Zed Qi will only be interested in you

for a short while. Do you think you have the luck to lure such a rich and powerful man into loving you

forever? Besides, you are just a good-for-nothing, and you are not attractive at all. Will he really be

willing to waste his financial resources and fame to protect you?"

"Go ahead. See if I'm bluffing." Jean said calmly. Her conviction shook the confidence of the Wen

family.

Henry had not expected his daughter who was now cut off from the Wen family to become so shrewd.

Shirley who was standing aside, gnashed her teeth. She was very jealous and thought to herself, 'How

can such a failure earn Zed Qi's love?'

"You really think that I..." Winner raised his hand and was about to slap Jean, but was stopped by

Henry.

"Dad, why are you stopping me? This sly woman is rather stupid. See her unconcerned look. She

doesn't care for us. I will teach her a lesson today."

"Enough!" Henry screamed at Winner. He glared at Winner before turning to face Jean. He had

forgotten that Zed Qi was also involved in her affairs. Since Zed was such an untouchable person, the

time was not right for the Wen family to take further action against Jean. Henry thought that the Wen

family was at a disadvantage as Zed was so powerful. Judging from the expression on Jean's face,

Henry knew that she would never agree to help them.

If he forced Jean to return home, he was afraid that it would make this matter even worse. After deep

consideration, Henry decided to let Jean leave.

"You can leave now."NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
