From Sidekick to Bigshot

“The outcome doesn’t determine your original intentions,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Yeah, that’s right,” Zhu Zimo seconded. “You did those things. It’s important to consider your intentions when you did those things!”

Faced with the three of them, there was no more blood on Wen Ruo’s face.

“Are you guys working together against me?”

“Working together? How are we working together? Shouldn’t you first look at what you’ve done?” Zhu Zimo asked Wen Ruo. “You’re the one who did the wrong thing. I merely chose the right side.”

Zhu Zimo did not think that he did anything wrong.

If Wen Ruo offended someone ordinary today, he could defend her as her boyfriend.

However, she had a pig’s brain! She chose to go against Master Sheng. In fact, she completely ignored Master Sheng’s words. Why would he protect such a foolish woman? If he did, he’d be pushing the entirety of the Zhu family into a fire pit.

Wen Ruo felt angry and aggrieved at the same time, “Zhu Zimo, I was wrong about you!”

“Well, the feeling is mutual. I misjudged you as well.”

Previously, he thought that she was smart. She came from a scholarly family. Therefore, she should have been well educated from a young age.

Jian Yiling reached out and pulled Zhai Yunsheng’s hand:

“Let’s go on more rides.”

She wasn’t interested in listening to Zhu Zimo and Wen Ruo’s argument.

“Okay,” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he left with Jian Yiling.

The two of them were indifferent to the look that Wen Ruo gave them. They couldn’t care less.

When Wen Ruo reached home, she cried for a long time. Cai Qinyue failed at comforting her daughter.

When Wen Cheng heard that Zhu Zimo broke up with his daughter, he was incredibly angry. He had just gotten discharged from the hospital:

“Why did he break up with you? He has no right to break up with you! Just wait here, I will go talk to him! Your father will ask him about this!”

“Don’t ask about it,” Wen Ruo cried.

She wasn’t sure of whether she was in pain due to the break-up or due to the emotions of shame and anger.

“Why shouldn’t I ask about it?” Wen Cheng asked as he looked at Wen Ruo’s tears. “You’re my daughter! If someone bullies my daughter, I will definitely fight them!”

“Father…” Wen Ruo said softly. Her father’s words injected a touch of warmth into her heart.

“Wen Ruo, don’t feel bad. I will ask him for clarification on the situation. My daughter is amazing. I don’t understand why he chose to break up with you.”

“Father, forget it… Forget it…” Wen Ruo said as she grabbed at her father. “You just got discharged from the hospital. You shouldn’t go places.”

If her father were to go to Zhu Zimo, Zhu Zimo may mention the evidence that Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling had in their hands.

“Wen Ruo, don’t be scared. I don’t care about the Zhu family. I won’t let you be wronged.”

“Father, it’s okay. If he doesn’t think that I’m good enough for him, then so be it. If you go and find him, it’s even more embarrassing for me.”

“This…” Wen Cheng started before he thought about the situation for a bit. He felt like his daughter’s words made sense.

However, he was unwilling to let his daughter be bullied by Zhu Zimo like this.

After thinking about it for a while longer, he could only let go of the situation.

However, Wen Cheng was still confused: “I thought that boy was a good man. Originally, I felt happy that you were dating him. However, I never expected… Ah… On the other hand, I thought Zhai Yunsheng wasn’t a good man. However, he treats Yiling incredibly well.”

Once Jian Yiling got engaged to Zhai Yunsheng, the Zhai family told the entire capital that Zhai Yunsheng was serious about Jian Yiling. He was set on her.

Her father’s words stabbed Wen Ruo’s heart.

Originally, there was not much difference between her and Jian Yiling. However, she completely lost to Jian Yiling on the matter of finding a boyfriend. In fact, she lost by a massive margin.
