The school beauty tortured me physically and mentally, and I was reborn as a licking dog and cut off

"...So, Wen Wan, you cried?"

Wen Wan had no way to explain why she was crying, so she could only act like a liar.

"I'm not crying. Don't listen to my dad. He's like that. He should be wearing reading glasses, but he always says he's only forty!"

When Wen Tongren heard this, veins on his forehead throbbed.

If the beautiful girl in front of him was not his beloved daughter, he would have slapped her in the face long ago.

The middle-aged man looked very disappointed. He blew his beard and glared, "No wonder the ancients always said that a daughter who is married off is like water that has been poured out! You haven't even got married yet, but your father's eyesight is already blurry, right? I think your elbows are so bent that they can circle the solar system!"

Ji Lengming burst out laughing on the phone.

He said bluntly: "Uncle Wen, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to Wen Wan just now. If I said anything inappropriate, I am willing to apologize to Wen Wan."

Wen Wan quickly interrupted and raised her beautiful eyes: "What kind of apology are you saying? It has nothing to do with you!"

"Also, I didn't cry. Cheap tears are not worthy of my eyes!"

She sat cross-legged on the messy mattress, her hands on her legs, her back straight, her eyes defiant, her tone wild and brave, and she felt that if she was given a pole, she could directly hit the South Heaven Gate.

"Besides, who told you to take the blame on yourself? An easy apology with my consent?"

"Ji Lengming, it's time for you to find your own reasons!"

"I have treated you like a precious child for so long, and yet you haven't developed the habit of being spoiled. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others if this gets out?"

"Humph!"

Ji Lengming: "..."

Recently, he and Wen Wan have been getting along pretty well. Apart from the fact that this woman has a head full of pornographic garbage, the two of them are quite compatible in other aspects.

He had gradually gotten used to this woman's sometimes unusual way of thinking.

Because they were familiar with each other, Ji Lengming tried to hold back, but finally couldn't and chose to retort.

"I just don't know what's good for me, what do you say I should do?"

When Wen Wan heard this, her eyes widened instantly.

The indoor lighting was not very bright, and there were lightning, thunder, wind and rain outside, but she was in high spirits and looked radiant.

She was a world of her own, and as the sun shone brightly on her, she became visibly excited.

"Hey! You're talking about this late at night. It really makes me excited!"

Ji Lengming quickly stopped talking.

He knew that Wen Wan's behavior was eccentric and she only cared about her heart rather than her actions when doing things. It didn't matter that the two of them just talked a little bit normally, but now there was a third person present.

Just as Ji Lengming was about to change the subject, Wen Tongren, who was standing there awkwardly, coughed lightly.

Wen Tongren knew that his daughter had changed a lot, but this was the first time he had seen her in such an unguarded state.

Although he really wanted to listen to the two young people continue bickering, given that his daughter's words were becoming increasingly ferocious, Wen Tongren had to fulfill his responsibilities as a parent.

"Wanwan, what nonsense are you talking about? What did I teach you normally?"

Wen Wan didn't want to have a meaningless argument with her father, so she pouted and put away her spirit.

A subtle silence filled the room.

The room was dimly lit, and as time passed, the brightly colored oil paintings of rural landscapes embedded on the walls seemed to have lost a layer of light.

Wen Tongren was secretly annoyed, wondering if his tone just now was too harsh.

Adhering to his usual style of doting on his daughter, the middle-aged man slowed down his tone and stuffed the exquisite black box in his hand into Wenwan's hand.

"Okay, stop pouting, you're such a grown-up!"

"You always have good taste. Please help dad to choose a suitable match. How about the gift you prepared for Leng Ming?"

Wen Wan had noticed the box in Wen Tongren's hand a long time ago, but since her father didn't say he would give it to her, she didn't ask any more questions.

Now it was her father who brought it up.

As soon as the box was opened, a jade stone of excellent quality, complete seed shape and half the size of a palm was revealed.

Wen Wan picked up the jade seed, held it towards the light source, and looked at it repeatedly. Her eyes were sparkling, as if grains of silver sand had melted.

It can be seen from the jade material that her father cares very much about Ji Lengming.

Glass ice type, mirror effect, the jade flesh is fine and pure. A rough calculation of the price will not be less than 50.

If you find a famous artist to carve it and put in a little effort, its value can reach millions.

Ji Lengming on the other side also noticed the words like "giving you a piece of jade" mentioned by Wen Tongren.

Out of traditionalism in his bones, he raised objections.

"Uncle Wen, thank you for your kindness, but as for the gift, I think it's better to wait a little longer!"

Ji Lengming has his own considerations.

First of all, after all, when someone gives you a gift, you can't just accept it with a smile. You have to decline it politely, as a sign of humility in dealing with others.

Secondly, in his eyes, he is currently in the period of cultivating his relationship with Wen Wan, and has not yet reached the stage of involving his parents.

There is nothing wrong with elders treating others to a meal and giving gifts, and it can be seen as a sign of care for the younger generation.

But giving expensive gifts, to be honest, does go beyond the scope of normal social interaction.

When an elder, who is your girlfriend's father, gives you an expensive gift, the meaning is self-evident.

Third, as the saying goes, if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.

The so-called "family" is not just about similar temperaments, but more importantly, differences in sense of identity.

Although Ji Lengming has a huge amount of money in his hands, he always considers himself a proletarian.

The Wen family is a century-old family, a prominent family that has never been poor. In a way, it is difficult for them to empathize with the people at the bottom of society.

If the ideologies are fundamentally different, even if the relationship is good now, conflicts will definitely arise in the future.

Wen Tongren is an old hand and knows exactly what Ji Lengming is thinking.

It was because he knew this that he deliberately mentioned words like "meeting gift" in front of the other party.

Wen Tongren snorted coldly and showed his aura.

"Humph! Are you afraid that the gift I prepared is shabby? That's why you refused?"

"Or, now that you live with Wanwan and have her, you don't want to take responsibility anymore?!"

Ji Lengming hasn't reacted yet.

Wen Wan looked up suddenly. She could hardly believe what she heard.

"Dad, what are you talking about!"

Wen Tongren stared at his daughter with eyes as sharp as torches, showing the sternness of a parent.

"Don't think I didn't know what you were doing last time I called you!"

"She's a girl, and she's hanging out with a man in the middle of the night. What's wrong with me asking her to take responsibility?"

Wen Wan was simply too exhausted to complain.

Between her and Ji Lengming, it is obvious that Ji Lengming is the one from a good family, so it is she who should be responsible, okay?

Moreover, due to physiological reasons at the time, even though I really wanted to confirm our relationship, I had no choice but to choose to chat under the covers.

Apart from hugging and being affectionate with each other, the two of them have not yet crossed the line and their relationship is very pure.

Wen Wan was about to explain, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ji Lengming.

"Uncle Wen, did you misunderstand something? I didn't say I didn't want to be responsible."

"It is true that the jade is too valuable. Logically, when a younger generation visits, they should bring gifts. How dare I trouble an elder to spend money!"

This is exactly what Wen Tongren was waiting for.

He immediately said, "Okay, let's set a date. When will you come with your gift?"

Ji Lengming and Wen Wan were both stunned.

Immediately, Wen Wan looked at her father with surprise.

As expected, the old guy has always had a firm grasp on the ways of the world.

But Ji Lengming had a hard time expressing his grievances.

Why did it suddenly change from 'sending him a gift' to 'he brought a gift to visit'?

If I bring gifts myself, doesn’t that mean... it means... proposing marriage?

Wen Tongren didn't give Ji Lengming the chance to hide in the alley.

He took a step back and said kindly, "Leng Ming, don't worry. I'm asking you to get engaged to Wan Wan right now. Marriage is something that should be done step by step and it should be done with mutual consent."

"Since I have revealed the 'meeting gift' to you, it shows my attitude and shows that I regard you as my future son-in-law."

"I regard you as my future son-in-law, so naturally, I hope you can regard me as your future father-in-law."

"I can't control what you think, but as an elder, I need to have a clear attitude and at least set a good example."

"Can you understand?"

Ji Lengming is not stupid, of course he understands.

It is because of understanding that this matter is difficult to handle.

In essence, he is a very principled person. He hates evil and is willing to kill bad guys without hesitation.

But he is also a person who is very afraid of owing favors to others.

By saying this, Mr. Wen actually took the moral high ground.

If I don't treat him with the same emotion, it would seem that he is in the wrong.

He is not afraid of other people's conspiracies and intrigues, but he is afraid that someone will be kind to you sincerely with good intentions.

The lethality of 'being good to you' is much stronger than 'violent oppression'!

After thinking for a long time, Ji Lengming felt that it would be better to express his true feelings.

"Uncle Wen, I will seriously consider what you said."

"But..." He paused, "I am not a quiet person."

"Your family business is prosperous. If you want, you can expand your business territory. Even if you retire at the peak of your career, you can still be a wealthy and idle person."

"I believe you have heard from recent media reports that Zheng Yiping and the forces behind him are ready to make a move, and even though I am a small figure with little influence, I want to fight them to the end."

"It's true that Wen Wan and I are good friends, but fortunately, if Wen Wan wants to withdraw, she can cut ties with me at any time."

"And once you follow your idea and deeply bind yourself to Wen Wan, it will be tantamount to putting the Wen family on a warship."

Ji Lengming sighed, and there was a kind of unspoken sorrow in his voice.

"Uncle Wen, some people have been caught in the rain themselves, so they also want to hold an umbrella for others."

“Some people want to tear up other people’s umbrellas because they have been caught in the rain themselves.”

“Besides that, there is another group of people.”

"These people don't care whether they get wet or not. Their main way of survival is to profit by depriving others of their umbrellas."

"Whether you agree or not, I just want to be the first type of person."

"The younger generation can visit you and accept your gifts."

"But you also need to understand that my life will be plagued by troubles and disasters because of my choices."

"If you still insist on your own opinion, not to mention the business losses you will suffer, the most obvious thing is that you will never have peace!"
