Despite not having the ability to do evil, she possess a vile nature. She’s just asking for trouble!

With eyes as cold as ice blades, Wei Feng looked at Wei Lai. This matter involved the company, so this discussion must end well.

Wei Feng glanced at the members of the Wen family, feeling ashamed and at a loss for words. However, Wen Xing and Wen Nian acted as if they hadn’t seen anything, with no one stepping forward to respond. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Bing immediately approached, her eyes reddened. “Brother Wen, Wen Nian, it’s our fault as parents for failing to teach our child properly, resulting in her turning into such a heartless beast! I know she’s willing to pay any price, but she’s still young. If she ends up with a criminal record, her whole life will be ruined. I beg you not to involve the police. Whatever you want, just name it, and if it’s within my power, 1 will do it.”

Wen Xing looked at Li Bing, showing some hesitation due to her motherly appearance, but he couldn’t empathize. With a cold snort, he spoke, “If it weren’t for my daughter’s quick thinking and evading the disaster, it would have been her life that was ruined. Since we must choose between the two, I can only choose my daughter.”

Wei Feng couldn’t quite grasp the intentions of the Wen family. If they were willing to come here, it indicated that there was still room for negotiation. But now, they seemed entirely unwilling to reconcile. What does this mean?

Wei Feng glanced at Wen Nian and smiled kindly, saying, “Wen Nian, this time, it’s Wei Lai and Jiang Ning who have wronged you. Feel free to make any demands you have. Grandpa Wei and the Jiang family will definitely compensate you generously.”

Only then did Wen Nian respond, saying, “Grandfather Wei, I know you dote on the younger generation, but my parents also worry about the injustices I’ve suffered. So, we don’t want money; we just want justice. My grandfather and you have been close friends for many years. I can refrain from involving the police, but Wei Lai and Jiang Ning must publicly admit their actions in a recorded video, which should be uploaded to various websites.”

Wen Nian originally didn’t want to let the two off so easily, but after last night’s conversation, it wasn’t the time to completely sever ties just yet. Wen Nian needed to investigate the circumstances surrounding her grandfather’s death thoroughly. Moreover, relying solely on Wei Lai’s matter to bring down the Wei Corporation was impossible. However, occasionally dealing them a few blows to disrupt their smooth sailing was still within her consideration.

When Wei Feng heard Wen Nian’s words, he felt a deep reluctance and concluded that Wen Nian possessed the mindset of a child, merely seeking revenge for personal satisfaction without considering the potential consequences. Turning to Wen Xing, he expressed his thoughts, “Wen Xing, do you remember when the Wei Group was just a small store? You, your father, and your wife were there to celebrate its opening. You know firsthand how challenging it has been for us to reach this point.”

“Once embroiled in such a scandal, the repercussions on our business would be severe. I have dedicated half of my life to this endeavor, and 1 implore you to understand the challenges faced by an old man like myself. 1 am willing to offer financial compensation, or if there are any specific work or personal needs you have, please do not hesitate to mention them.”

“By the way, considering your long-standing presence in the city, I happen to have a 3-bedroom, 120-square-meter house in Xiangtan that would be suitable for your family of three. It would be prudent not to delay any further. I can arrange for the house to be transferred to you today. Additionally, Jiang Guo is willing to provide economic compensation. With the house and the financial assistance, you would no longer have to worry about your future. Simply rely on the bank interest to sustain your expenses for the remainder of your lives.”

A house in Xiangtan is worth around 2 million yuan in the coastal city, which is considered a middle-class housing price.

Wen Xing didn’t even blink and directly refused, “Sir, we appreciate your compensation, and our family is in full agreement. We simply require a sincere apology. Even if you give us 10 million, we won’t accept it.”

Wei Feng tried to play the emotional card and brought up something from 20 years ago, but Wen Xing didn’t engage with it.

Wei Feng cast a glance at Wen Nian and eventually compromised.

At this moment, Wen Nian made a new demand, “Mr. Wei, 1 want to be the first to see the apology videos from Wei Lai and Jiang Ning.”

Wei Feng once again felt that Wen Nian was the most uncompromising person in the Wen family. He had initially intended to employ clever wording and play word games while drafting the apology text, in an effort to obfuscate the public’s perception. However, if the apology video was released and the Wen family could only accuse it of lacking sincerity, they would have no further recourse or options available to them.

So he earnestly said to Wen Nian, “Look at you, are you worried that Wei Lai’s apology won’t be sincere? I’ll personally make sure of it, so rest assured.”

Wen Nian smiled without any fear of offending people, “Old Mr. Wei, if an apology letter doesn’t first earn forgiveness from the victim, then even if it’s known worldwide, it has no meaning..”
