The Truth Behind Wen Jing Being Pushed Downstairs

Su Leyun had been curled up in Su Minghui's arms, watching the show. Now, he could finally chime in.

[She really jumped down herself.]

With that one sentence, both Su Minghui and Su Yinan looked at him in surprise.

Su Leyun closed his eyes, and everything surfaced in his mind. He let out a long sigh.

[Wen Jing is really too pitiful.]

Wen Jing was the same age as Su Yinan, but their lives had followed vastly different paths.

Although Su Yinan had never known a father's love growing up, he had a mother who adored him. Not to mention his privileged Household meant he had never needed to worry about such trivial matters as food, clothing, shelter, or transportation.

Wen Jing's parents had divorced when she was young. She had lived in Beijing with her mother, the two of them relying on each other. Their life had been a little tight, but it had still been happy.

But everything changed after Mother Wen found a new boyfriend.

Mother Wen became consumed by her romance. Not only did she neglect the Household, but she also spent their savings supporting that man's eating, drinking, and entertainment. Wen Jing could no longer remember how many nights she had gone to sleep hungry.

Worse still, the man eventually sweet-talked Mother Wen into getting a marriage certificate with him, then openly moved into their home to live with the mother and daughter.

Mother Wen had been very happy that day. She roughly pushed the unwilling Wen Jing in front of the man, smiling broadly. "Wen Jing, he'll be your new dad from now on. Be good, call him Dad."

Wen Jing did not want to anger Mother Wen, so she forced out a mosquito-like whisper. "D-Dad..."

Perhaps because he had only just gotten married and was still putting on an act, the man looked at Wen Jing kindly. When he heard her call him that, he suddenly burst into laughter. "Good, good. Be good. Dad will definitely protect you and your mother from now on. I won't let anyone bully you..."

Mother Wen laughed as well, but for some inexplicable reason, Wen Jing felt nothing but fear.

The facts proved that Wen Jing's fear had not been unfounded.

That night...

She screamed and cried in terror. Her voice drew Mother Wen, who was busy in the kitchen, and the source of Wen Jing's horror vanished.

"What's wrong? I'm not dead, so why are you crying like you're at a funeral?"

Realizing that her mother was not on her side, Wen Jing staggered back two steps in disbelief and screamed, "He isn't! I hate you both! I'm going to find my dad!"

At the mention of her ex-husband, Mother Wen's emotions erupted at once. She shoved her daughter and shouted just as loudly, "Then go find him! If he's so great, why are you still living with me?"

Wen Jing curled into a ball and crouched on the floor crying. Mother Wen, overcome with emotion, slammed the door and returned to the bedroom.

"..." Wen Jing dry-heaved, tears streaming down her face.

After that, Wen Jing's life seemed to fall into a boundless hell.

Wen Jing watched helplessly as that Door Opening shut in front of her, as though it had never been opened at all. She gave up struggling and stared at the ceiling like a puppet. Her tears fell and seeped into the pillow.

That same year, she was admitted to the school Su Yinan attended because of her outstanding grades.

Her excellent grades made her a teacher's favorite, while her pretty face made her the center of attention among the boys. Some boldly confessed to her, but unable to ignore the hellish situation she was in, she rejected every one of them.

To her surprise, those who claimed to like her could turn around and fabricate rumors to stab her in the back.

She was not talkative by nature either. Over time, she became an outcast. Not only did she have no friends and was isolated, but she also had to regularly endure the "pranks" of classmates who disliked her.

She wanted to seek help from her parents, just like other children did. As expected, her mother continued to turn a blind eye as usual, while the man actually said with a smile, "In this situation, you need to reflect carefully on whether you did something wrong. Flies don't land on uncracked eggs. With so many classmates, why don't they bully anyone else? Why do they only bully you?"

Wen Jing was completely disappointed.

For once, she skipped school for a day. She told her teacher that she was sick and wanted to rest for the day. She had always behaved so obediently that her teacher granted her leave without any suspicion.

Wen Jing set out early in the morning and bought a ticket to a neighboring city.

She was going to find her father—her real father.

After the divorce, Wen Jing's biological father had returned to his hometown in the neighboring city to build his career. She found the address of his workplace in her mother's text messages and followed it all the way there. To her surprise, she really found him.

Father Wen seemed to have just gotten off work and come out of his workplace. Although they had not seen each other for years, he did not appear to have changed much. He even looked more spirited than he had before the divorce.

Wen Jing could not muster the courage to go up and greet him, so she followed him all the way back to his current home.

The moment he opened the door, a child around four or five years old immediately rushed over and called out affectionately, "Dad." From Wen Jing's angle, she could also see a gentle-looking woman inside carrying dishes to the table.

It was the picture of a very harmonious family of three.

So Dad was not only her dad. He was someone else's dad now, too.

She became even more afraid to approach. She had intended to slip away quietly, but Father Wen spotted her with his sharp eyes.

Recognizing his daughter whom he had not seen in years, he nervously glanced back into the house. Seeing that his wife was not paying attention, he hurriedly pulled Wen Jing aside.

"Why are you here?"

Wen Jing answered vaguely, "My school has a competition here. I was passing by, so I came to see you."

Father Wen touched Wen Jing's head with great relief. "Our Jingjing has grown up too. You're a real young lady now."
