In the original text, Wen Ruohuai provided Zhang Yin with proper guidance on the dating reality show, which prevented her from going astray.
Now, due to the butterfly effect, the plot has been disrupted. The Wen Family is not only preoccupied with their own problems, but also despises Wen Ruohuai because Wen Ruohuai hired people to beat up his cousins during the New Year. With all these things piling up, Wen Ruohuai was finally kicked out of the house.
He used to own shares and a house and car, but he was swindled out of them some time ago, and now he has nothing.
Wen Ruohuai decided to seek assistance from Wen Nan Wen Nan's agency.
Wen Nan happened to be at the company today to pick up the script, but he didn't expect Wen Ruohuai to come to his door. When he heard the news upstairs, he didn't know what expression to show for a moment. Perhaps it was because a lot of time had passed, and his past with the Wen Family seemed like something that happened in a previous life.
Wen Ruohuai's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and urgency as he looked around, seemingly searching for Wen Nan.
Xie Zhuzhou hid behind Xiao Lin, quietly observing everything. Fearing being dragged into the smoke-filled battlefield, he hid behind the company employees.
The employees, understanding the unspoken message, didn't move much. Since the boss was already watching the drama unfold, they could also openly watch. Some employees skillfully took out their phones to record the conversation. Although there were surveillance cameras in the meeting hall, the perspective for watching the drama was different.
Just then, Wen Nan stepped out of the elevator, her expression calm.
Wen Ruohuai seeing Wen Nan, Wen Ruohuai immediately stood up from the sofa and quickly went to greet her, waiting for Wen Nan to walk over from the access control gate.
With a slightly ingratiating smile, he said, " Wen Nan, I... I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
Wen Nan stopped after passing through the turnstile, her brows furrowed slightly as she coldly looked at Wen Ruohuai: "What's there left for us to talk about?"
Wen Ruohuai was clearly taken aback by Wen Nan's coldness. He paused for a moment, then put on a pitiful expression. " Wen Nan, I know I did wrong things before, but I'm really desperate now. I was kicked out of my home, and my assets were swindled away. I... I just want to ask you to help me."
Wen Nan sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Help you? When you framed me back then, didn't you ever think this day would come? Don't treat others like fools, okay? I haven't been putting up with you since the first time I met you. What makes you think I'd help you? Do you think I'm that kind of kind person?"
Perhaps it's true that you get the kind of employees you have, because Wen Nan speaks bluntly these days, but she doesn't lose her logic.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohuai's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he still suppressed his displeasure and continued to plead, " Wen Nan, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I have nothing left now, please help me, for the sake of the time we were switched at birth, and for the benefits you enjoyed from me."
Wen Nan looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in her heart.
He knew that Wen Ruohuai had only himself to blame for his current predicament. Back then, Wen Ruohuai had resorted to any means to frame him, even at the cost of ruining his own reputation. And now, having lost everything, he wanted to ask him for help—it was utterly ridiculous.
Wen Nan spoke slowly and clearly, "I think you still haven't grasped the reality. It's your parents' fault, not mine. You shouldn't blame me... As for me enjoying your benefits, don't you find that laughable? If I'm not mistaken, you've already lost the house my own parents gave you, haven't you?"
Wen Ruohuai was speechless. He regretted it too, but those people said it was a money-making project with a bright future, and they made it sound very convincing. So he simply invested all his assets in it, hoping that the money would multiply several times and make the Wen Family family look at him with new eyes.
But I never expected to be scammed!
Those people weren't relatives of a wealthy family at all; they were con artists who set him up and lured him step by step into a trap. They took the money and ran away!
"Looks like I guessed right, so I don't owe you anything, Wen Ruohuai. Stop being so self-righteous. This world doesn't revolve around you, wake up." Wen Nan finished speaking and turned to leave, but Wen Ruohuai grabbed his hand and wouldn't let him go.
"I... I beg you... I really have nowhere else to go."
Wen Nan glared at him, tried to shake him off but couldn't. Then Lili grabbed Wen Ruohuai and pulled him off Wen Nan.
Xie Zhuzhou, who was watching the drama unfold in the crowd, was amazed by Sister Lili's incredible arm strength! A true heroine!
Wen Nan looked around and left Wen Ruohuai with another sentence. "This is the consequence of your lack of self-respect. You have lost even the last bit of self-respect you have left. The Wen Family and you deserve it."
He had no lingering affection for the cold-blooded Wen Family.
He had only met his biological parents twice.
Thanks to Young Master Xie's help, he was able to regain his footing on this stage. Having cleared his mind of all distractions, he realized how wonderful the world was, so why should he get entangled with those who had hurt him?
It's not worth it at all. They can't give you what you want, and they'll only become stumbling blocks in your life.
Besides, that kind of hypocritical and nauseating family affection isn't what he wants; so let it go.
Wen Ruohuai was effortlessly lifted up by Lili and thrown aside like a rag doll. He fell to the ground in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger, but even more so with deep despair. He had never imagined that he would fall to such a state.
Xie Zhuzhou felt quite satisfied with the plot twist in this novel about the true and false young masters; it would have been strange if it had followed the original story exactly.
After the gathering ended, he entered the elevator with the employees.
Gradually, he realized he had entered the wrong elevator. After feeling the gentle, maternal gazes directed at him, Xie Zhuzhou felt a sense of despair.
After getting off the elevator, he had a lot more snacks in his hands. Some employees who didn't have any snacks in their bags even wanted to give him the teddy bears hanging on their bags!
"They're completely lawless! I'm the boss!" Xie Zhuzhou felt that he had lost all his authority in the elevator just now.
Once he put on a stern face, they started pretending to be obedient employees!
Yang Da had no idea what had happened in the elevator; the two of them had come up in the next elevator. "Calm down, after you finish these snacks, you'll probably be off work soon."
Xie Zhuzhou thought about it and realized it made him feel much better.
Yang Da thought that Young Master Xie didn't need to be coaxed; changing the subject and bringing some treats would stop him from getting angry.
"I want to go have dinner with my older brother after work. He hasn't been eating dinner properly lately, and if this continues, he'll develop stomach problems from hunger." Xie Zhuzhou is very concerned about the breadwinner of his family.
Yang Da agreed, "You're right, but I think it would show more sincerity if you brought the food yourself."
Xie Zhuzhou nodded. "You're right, but if I'm too lazy, my older brother will be angry, right? Or should I pretend to bring some books over?"
Therefore, Xie Zhuzhou decided that from now on, he would go to his older brother's office or Chu Little Yan's office to read books after work.
But going to Chu Little Yan's office requires abstaining from sex, so forget it, I'll go less often.
When Xie Zhuzhou thought of Chu Little Yan, he remembered that Chu Little Yan had said he would make a request of him after his final exams. Since he didn't know what the request was, he was a little looking forward to it.
