Chapter 157: Wen Chen’s Anger

He was an unyielding person. When he first took over the company’s affairs, he had also been suppressed by the other old shareholders. However, he had never been discouraged, nor had he thought of giving up.
And now?
Was he really going to give up on Jing Yao just like that?
Wen Chen slowly adjusted his breathing and walked upstairs to his room.
His room was very spacious. It was his private domain, and no one could enter. The housekeeper had to ask for his opinion before cleaning, so he could put his precious things inside. He did not have to be afraid of being discovered. After returning to his room, he could show his true emotions without any scruples.
He took out a small box from a locked cabinet and opened it. There was a lot inside.
There was a fountain pen, a homemade bookmark, and an old headband.
That headband wasn’t that rare. It was the kind that was sold at a stall at the entrance of the high school. It cost two yuan a piece. Because it had been used for a long time, it couldn’t be tightened anymore. It couldn’t even tie her hair tightly. It was precisely because of this that Jing Yao casually placed it in the Wen Family back then.
He still remembered very clearly that Cheng Wan invited Jing Yao to his house to play that day.
Zhang Li’s family of three went on a trip and didn’t bring Jing Yao along. Cheng Wan invited Jing Yao to the house. Seeing that the headband on Jing Yao’s head was loosened, Cheng Wan called her to the balcony and braided her hair. Then, she changed her headband and threw the old one on the recliner on the balcony.
The pen and bookmark were both birthday presents from Jing Yao. They were secretly placed at his door. She didn’t give them to him personally, nor did she ask anyone to give them to him, because he wouldn’t accept them either way.
Jing Yao was also afraid of being mocked at that time. Every time she let people know that Wen Chen rejected her gift, she would inevitably be mocked by Jing Yuan and the others. It was fine to secretly leave the gift at the door. No one knew who sent the gift, so it was fine if Wen Chen lost it.
Later on, she decided not to give gifts to him. Anyway, Wen Chen would not return the favor on her birthday. She even made Wen Chen unhappy when she gave him a gift, so there was no need to do anything unnecessary.
Wen Chen touched the things in the box and picked them up one by one to read them many times. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He closed the box again and placed it back in the cabinet to lock it. After getting up, straightening his clothes, he walked out of the room and went straight to the balcony.
As expected, Cheng Wan was sitting on the recliner on the balcony. She seemed to be looking at something and was grinning from ear to ear.
“Mom, I have something to tell you,” Wen Chen said.
Cheng Wan was shocked. She turned around and glared at him. “You scared me to death. Why didn’t you make a sound when you walked? Why are you looking for me?”
Wen Chen cleared his throat and said, “I want you to return the gifts Jing Yao has given me.”
When Wen Chen said this, his face turned a little red. He had always been mature, but now, he was like a young boy.
Cheng Wan sighed slightly in her heart. Life was unpredictable and there was a freak combination of factors. If Wen Chen had understood earlier, things would not have turned out like this.
In the past, there were so many opportunities in front of him, but he could not grasp them once. It was too late to regret now.
“Why did you come over and ask me for it, but it’s not in my hands?” Cheng Wan said calmly.
She hadn’t even settled the score with Wen Chen this time. There was also the matter of Jing Yao being abused in school in middle school. The reason why she didn’t flare up when Wen Chen just returned was because she wanted to at least wait for dinner.
Her son made her angry in every way, but she could not find any fault with him at work. He often dealt with matters on an empty stomach. Although she was angry, she did not lose her mind.
However, she endured it, but Wen Chen insisted on coming over himself.
Wen Chen said almost pleadingly, “Mom, 1 was wrong in the past. Give me those things. I know you’ll pick up those gifts every time.”
At the mention of this, Cheng Wan recalled Wen Chen’s cold and hard expression when he rejected Jing Yao in the past and became even angrier. She said expressionlessly, “It’s not with me. I returned them to Yaoyao after 1 picked them up. Yaoyao made many of them herself. They’re all tokens of her sincerity. I couldn’t stand it anymore when you wanted to ruin her kind intentions, so 1 returned them to Yaoyao. It’s a waste to give them to you. You might as well return them to Yaoyao and let her deal with them herself. Some of them cost money. She can get some money back after she returns them.” “Mom!” Wen Chen raised his voice. “How can you do whatever you want with the gift Jing Yao gave me?”
Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows. “Since you don’t want it, it doesn’t belong to you.”
Wen Chen’s breathing quickened. After calming down for a long time, he suppressed his anger and said, “I know you haven’t returned some of them. Give them to me.”
Cheng Wan said coldly, “No, I packed it up and sent it back to Yaoyao after knowing that she was married to Liang Xun.”
“…” Wen Chen..
