Chapter 480: Chapter 480: The Wen Family has More than Just Bo Ye as a Son-in-law

Cheng Zhiwei saw them off to the front gate and watched as they got into the same car.

Actually, they really suited each other quite well.

It’s just a pity that feelings are truly the most enigmatic existence in the world.

Zhou Lin gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder, touching her cheek, "Not happy?"

Cheng Zhiwei turned to look at him, the lucent light from the lamp casting enigmatic shadows in her eyes.

She just looked at him quietly.

Zhou Lin, baffled, asked in a soft voice what was wrong.

Cheng Zhiwei blandly said, "I was just thinking, you people really live up to that phrase ’birds of a feather flock together.’"

Zhou Lin: "..."

How did he ’flock together’?

Cheng Zhiwei spit out two words: "Scumbag."

Zhou Lin immediately thought of what Bo Ye had mentioned to him about the divorce, and he assumed Wen Ya had told her.

What Bo Ye did was indeed unethical, but there were reasons.

"Wen Jun’s birth mother has got cancer, with only a year or two left."

It wasn’t that she might recover as Wen Ya said. It was that woman who was not going to make it.

Cheng Zhiwei snorted contemptuously, "So because she got cancer, she has to break up someone else’s family?"

And Bo Ye, he should have never agreed to get married in the first place.

Zhou Lin didn’t dare to argue on this matter, since he had also been in the wrong before, so he could only take Cheng Zhiwei’s displeasure.

Cheng Zhiwei was angry and didn’t really want to deal with him, so she didn’t say a word on the way home; only when she saw Cheng Xing at home did her mood somewhat improve.

Within a week, Wen Ya called Cheng Zhiwei to go to Sea City to accompany her through the divorce.

Cheng Zhiwei flew over the same day.

At the Wen Family house, Wen Yongning and Ah Mi personally made dinner, all to Cheng Zhiwei’s taste.

Cheng Zhiwei calmly expressed her gratitude.

Halfway through dinner, Wen Yongning brought up Wen Ya’s ill-fated marriage, clearly somewhat disappointed.

But he also knew you can’t force a marriage, just regretting his failure to see people for who they were, which hurt Wen Ya.

Wen Ya herself seemed rather philosophical, just mentioning that the family business would need Wen Yongan to step back in now.

Wen Yongan was getting older, and thinking of him returning to those worrisome days made Wen Ya feel terribly guilt-ridden.

Wen Yongan, however, saw through it all, and with a grand gesture, announced, "I’m planning on selling the company."

"Selling it?" Everyone was surprised.

"The money will be divided into four parts, three for each of you sisters to one, and the remaining part will be split between me and your uncle to use for our retirement."

Cheng Zhiwei listened in silence, suddenly reminded of how they all fled abroad when Yu Man got in trouble; with such character, it was not strange that they would do what they did.

"But that’s your hard work," said Wen Ya with a hint of sorrow.

Even when Wen Yongan was abroad, he took meticulous care of the company.

And when he handed over the company to Bo Ye, whose efforts brought it to flourish, he was so pleased, feeling like he had found the right person.

Now, things were utterly different.

Wen Yongan waved nonchalantly, "I’ve made up my mind. Bo Ye brought the company to a great state, and selling now will yield a good price. Otherwise, it might go downhill in just a few months if I take over, and by then, it won’t be worth much."

He thought that no amount of money was worth more than his daughters’ futures.

"It’s just that I won’t be able to invest as much in your movies and TV dramas from now on."

Wen Ya shook her head; she’d made enough money over the years that as long as she didn’t perform badly, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Wen Yongning said, "I don’t need the money, big brother. You keep it."

Wen Yongan naturally would not take it, so Wen Yongning suggested giving it to the three daughters as an early dowry.

The discussion lasted until late at night.

Cheng Zhiwei, Wen Ya, and Wen Yi all refused the money.

But they also couldn’t think of a solution for the company’s lack of a capable manager.

They couldn’t find someone with the capabilities and willingness to take over like Bo Ye.

So, really, selling while it was hot was the best decision.

When Zhou Lin sent Cheng Zhiwei a video, she was still thinking about this matter and naturally complained about the kind of friends Zhou Lin made.

Ungrateful.

Now that Bo Ye had propped up the Bo Family, he was ready to let go of the Wen Family, a typical irresponsibility.

Zhou Lin said in a low voice, "I do have a solution."

Cheng Zhiwei asked what it was.

"The Wen Family isn’t just Bo Ye’s in-laws," he said with a tone that was neither light nor heavy, yet cautious and probing.

With just one word from Cheng Zhiwei, he could also take charge of the Wen Family company.

Cheng Zhiwei understood his implication but didn’t know what to say for a while.

Zhou Lin was certainly capable; as a decision-maker, he didn’t need to do everything personally—just sending a capable manager to the Wen Family would resolve their dilemma.

But he wanted a title for it.

Cheng Zhiwei stayed silent, and so did Zhou Lin, who simply said, "I’m just putting it out there; you don’t need to feel pressured. The Wen Family wronged you first, so you don’t need to sacrifice anything for them."

But if he really felt that way, he wouldn’t have brought it up.

He was pressuring her.

Cheng Zhiwei felt a little stifled, while Zhou Lin was airy, telling her she didn’t have to make decisions contrary to her wishes.

After hanging up the video, she was in a foul mood,

Tossing and turning, she finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

The next morning, she accompanied Wen Ya to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Wen Ya had also not slept the night before and looked somewhat haggard but still summoned the energy to be there.

Ten minutes later, Bo Ye arrived,

Carefully supporting a delicate woman.

Wen Ya only glanced at her and her eyes reddened with anger; Bo Ye seemed ready to take the divorce certificate and then retrieve a marriage certificate—it was too much to bring her along.

Cheng Zhiwei’s face toward Bo Ye was unreadable; she just supported Wen Ya’s arm to prevent an outburst.

The woman Bo Ye brought seemed frail and weak, her face pale and sickly. When she saw Wen Ya, she gave a feeble smile and said, "Sorry."

Wen Ya, who had been through much in life, controlled her emotions tightly, merely giving her a cold glance before turning to deal with Bo Ye.

This process should have been smooth, but the woman Bo Ye brought, for some reason, became hysterical when she saw Wen Ya ignoring her and suddenly knelt in front of Wen Ya.

Crying helplessly, as if wronged, she said, "Miss Wen, I just want Wen Jun to have a complete family. Please give us your blessing."

This scene made Wen Ya seem like the wrongdoer.

A crowd formed around them.

Wen Ya trembled with rage, clearly the one hurt the deepest, yet now painted as the villain?

Cheng Zhiwei folded her arms, looking down at the woman kneeling on the ground with a deadpan expression, "Indeed, you should kneel. You and Bo Ye tricked someone into marriage and money, and even had her raise your child for you. You’ve wronged her."

With that, suspicious glances began to fall on the woman.

Her face turned a ghastly pale as she looked up pitifully, "Who are you... our affair..."

"I’m her sister. How about your affair? Brave enough to do it but not to own up?" Cheng Zhiwei shot her words back, "Are you daring to say that Bo Ye didn’t rely on the Wen family to pull his company back together while getting treatment for you?"

She swept a scornful look over the woman, "Could you afford those extravagant medical bills?"
