Cen Shichuan glanced at Sun Wei and scoffed coldly.

"Second brother, please forgive my embarrassment. I only found out today that my wife is so restless. Don't worry, I will handle my own family affairs and will never let this matter implicate the Cen family."

With a simple statement about family matters, she refused to let Cen Yuan interfere.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang hesitantly put down the blanket, revealing half of her face.

A pair of watery eyes looked at the man at the door. Their eyes met, and her eyes gradually reddened. She pursed her lips again and again.

He said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

Second brother, please save me, poor me!

Cen Yuan closed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed twice, and he let out a barely perceptible sigh.

It seemed like helplessness.

When I opened my eyes again, I had regained my usual calm.

Xu Wantang was stunned, thinking she had misread it.

Before she could get a good look, Lin Yue suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Second Young Master, there are paparazzi who say that someone leaked information that the Third Young Master's wife and two men were sent to the Medical Rain Compound for unknown reasons. Once this kind of leading topic spreads, the Cen family will be the first to be discussed."

Ji Yan frowned and said in a serious tone, "Second Young Master, someone actually dared to make a fuss about the Cen family's reputation. Don't worry, I will investigate thoroughly. If I find out who is creating public opinion or spreading rumors, I will immediately send them to jail."

Ji Yan's reputation as a top lawyer is known to everyone in high society.

He said if he could get someone in, he definitely could, and he could even add two more years to their sentence.

So when his gaze swept over him, Sun Wei was so frightened that he lowered his head.

Cen Yuan slowly sat down on the sofa.

She gently stroked the prayer beads with her fingertips, remained silent for a few seconds, and then looked at Cen Shichuan indifferently: "It seems that this is no longer your family matter."

Cen Shichuan's brows furrowed, and he tensed his muscles to control his expression: "Then I'm afraid it will be a waste of Second Brother's time. The outcome will not change."

These words were not only spoken to Cen Yuan, but also to Xu Wantang.

But...she just wanted to change! She wanted to transform!

These hypocritical and selfish people in front of us must die a horrible death!

However, the others clearly didn't want to give her that opportunity.

Ms. Zheng Yuzhu directly threatened, "Xu Wantang, stop causing trouble for everyone. If you don't kowtow and admit your mistakes, you can forget about ever returning to the Xu family!"

That same phrase again.

In his dream, Xu Wantang never saw Ms. Zheng Yuzhu again.

But whenever she showed even the slightest sign of resistance, Xu Shengze would talk to her, and at the end he would say that Ms. Zheng Yuzhu had given her a message.

If she doesn't listen to me, she can forget about going back to the Xu family!

Xu Shengze would then earnestly persuade her.

Just like now.

Xu Shengze looked at Xu Wantang with a troubled expression.

"Wantang, stop making a scene. I don't blame you, but for the sake of your past friendship with Sun Wei, just kowtow and admit your mistake. I'll cover Sun Wei's medical expenses later."

What a great line, "Brother will help you out."

He acted as a gentle and considerate older brother, while simultaneously pinning Xu Wantang's crimes on him.

Xu Wantang looked at them, lifted the blanket, and revealed her leg, which was in a cast.

She asked coldly, "Do I have to kneel even for this?"

Xu Shengze almost blurted out, "I'll have my bodyguards help you kneel down."

He not only ignored Xu Wantang's tone, but was even glad that Xu Wantang was still easy to talk to.

Perhaps he spoke too matter-of-factly.

The room fell into a deathly silence, and everyone had different expressions.

Ms. Zheng Yuzhu's disdain.

Sun's mother's gloating.

Sun Wei's smugness.

And then there's Cen Shichuan's indifferent observation.

He was angry at Xu Wantang.

He used his eyes to force Xu Wantang to bow her head and admit her mistake.

As for Cen Yuan...

Xu Wantang dared not look.

When the cruel truth was laid bare before her, she subconsciously searched for traces of her former family.

At last……

It turns out they really, really never loved her.

Xu Wantang bit her inner lip, and it took her a long time to stop the trembling of her fingertips.

"I will not kneel."

Everyone was stunned.

"Wantang! What did you say? Don't you want to go back to the Xu family?" Xu Shengze asked anxiously.

Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it because you're afraid of losing a reason to control her?

Xu Wantang did not expose Xu Shengze's hypocrisy at this moment, but instead looked embarrassed and helpless.

"Brother, I don't want you to compromise with Sun Wei for my sake!"

Xu Shengze was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

The next second, he understood what it meant.

Two uniformed police officers walked in.

"Which one of you is Ms. Xu Wantang? We received a report and came to inquire."

Xu Wantang immediately got up and "accidentally" fell off the bed to the ground, looking as if she had been stimulated by something.

She pointed at Sun Wei, sobbing, "Officer, he tried to kill me and my brother! Please save us!"

She was sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled and her leg in a cast.

As pitiful as you can be, your pitifulness will last for as long as you can be.

The police officer quickly helped her up: "Don't be afraid, just tell me what's wrong."

Xu Wantang covered her mouth and nodded vigorously.

"Sun Wei and his mother forced me to kneel down. I was afraid my brother would be implicated, so I had no choice but to call the police for help."

Enraged, Sun's mother shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"

Xu Wantang immediately shrank back, fearfully grabbing the police officer: "I have evidence. My brother treated me to dinner today, and this man suddenly appeared, constantly implying to my brother that he and I had dated, but I don't know him at all. He clearly has ulterior motives, so... I recorded it."

She quickly pulled out her phone and played the recording.

Throughout the entire ordeal, she maintained that she did not know Sun Wei, and even shouted that she had been pushed when she fell down the stairs.

Xu Wantang, looking innocent and heartbroken, said, "When I fell down the stairs, I'm sure someone pushed me. My brother would never hurt me, so it must be this Sun Wei who appeared out of nowhere!"

The look in Xu Shengze and Sun Wei's eyes was priceless.

They never expected that Xu Wantang would actually record the conversation.

But Xu Wantang didn't give the two a chance to react at all, and glanced at the chubby doctor at the door.

The doctor immediately stepped forward and handed over the perfume and a test report.

"Ms. Xu, the results of the perfume you asked us to test are in. It contains sedative ingredients, and inhaling too much can cause general weakness."

Looking at the report, Xu Shengze and Sun Wei turned pale.

Xu Wantang continued to embellish the story.

"This is evidence that Sun Wei harmed us. My brother, a grown man, knows nothing about perfume. He suddenly said he would give me French perfume, but it turns out it was made in China. If you don't believe me, look at the perfume bottle."

The police officer took the perfume bottle, took photos, asked questions, and then frowned.

"This is indeed a domestically produced perfume; it's not a French perfume at all."

Xu Wantang nodded, still firmly believing in Xu Shengze, and tried her best to provoke Sun Wei.

"So someone must have tricked my brother into buying me perfume, and then Sun Wei showed up right after we tried it on."

He talked about my university life, but I never told him any of my personal information, which means someone leaked my information to him.

"Then he dragged me downstairs. My brother and I were so weak that we just fell down."

"He clearly tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait himself, and accidentally tripped and fell. If you don't believe me, you can check the restaurant's surveillance footage."

Enraged, Sun Wei's chest heaved violently. Enduring the pain from his wound, he blurted out, "Xu Wantang! Don't try to frame me. I have no idea what perfume it is. Show me the surveillance footage if you dare!"

Clearly, Sun Wei and Xu Shengze had already secured the deletion of the surveillance footage.

As Xu Wantang pursed her lips, the police officer spoke first: "We got it; the restaurant owner just sent it over."

Sun Wei stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
