40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Zhao Wenchen heard this and glanced at Fang Shuyong and the others, with a hint of amusement and deep meaning in his eyes. "Master Fang, I know Miss Xiaorou and I know her personality. I won't blame her for her careless words. What's more, I think she really has something to say, so why not let her say it?"

Fang Shuyong felt nervous when he heard this. The Zhao family had the support of the little puppet and had ulterior motives. If he didn't shut Xiaorou's mouth and let her talk nonsense in front of Zhao Wenchen, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would their lives be in danger, but more clansmen would be implicated.

[No, Xiaorou and Zhao Wenchen cannot be allowed to stay together.]

Fang Shuyong was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his face, but he was still trying his best to maintain a smile on his face, "Master Zhao, I appreciate your kindness, but Xiaorou..."

"what--"

Fang Shuyong was interrupted by a scream before he could finish his words.

The scream came from a servant. She was standing behind Fang Xiaorou, holding one of her hands. Fang Xiaorou took advantage of the servant's unpreparedness, raised her foot and stomped hard on the servant's foot, causing the servant to scream in pain.

The screaming servant also realized that he was in trouble, so he quickly closed his mouth and endured the pain.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaorou's mouth was covered with rags, so she couldn't speak at this time.

But this also created an opportunity for Zhao Wenchen. Zhao Wenchen took this opportunity to walk up to Fang Xiaorou and pull her out from the siege of the servants.

This scene frightened Fang Shuyong so much that he quickly stepped forward and tried to pull Fang Xiaorou back.

After Fang Xiaorou was freed, she couldn't wait to take the rag out of her mouth. She didn't care about the discomfort in her mouth and hurriedly spoke to Zhao Wenchen.

"Wen Chen, do you like me? They said you approached me with bad intentions and for ulterior motives."

Fang Xiaorou blinked her red and swollen eyes and looked at Zhao Wenchen.

"Fang Xiaorou, shut up!" Fang Shuyong shouted after listening to Fang Xiaorou's words.

But Fang Xiaorou had no idea. She just wanted to hear Zhao Wenchen's reply at this moment.

Zhao Wenchen looked at Fang Xiaorou's expectant eyes. He did not answer directly, "Xiaorou, how I treat you, don't you know?"

Zhao Wenchen’s words made Fang Xiaorou blush and lower her head.

"Xiao Rou, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Wenchen asked, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

At this time Fang Shuyong rushed over and wanted to stop them, but was stopped by the two people brought by Zhao Wenchen.

"Xiao Rou, stop talking nonsense, you..."

"Dad, I'm not talking nonsense. It was you who said that the Zhao family was colluding with the little puppet. The Zhao family would never collude with the little puppet. You misunderstood." Fang Xiaorou said, turning her head to look at Zhao Wenchen, "Am I right, Wenchen?"

"Of course. Tell me, who are the 'they' you are referring to?" Zhao Wenchen smiled at Fang Xiaorou. Fang Xiaorou was immersed in it and opened her mouth to answer unconsciously.

Fang Shuyong was interrupted by Fang Xiaorou before he could finish his words. At the signal of Zhao Wenchen, the two people who stopped him attacked Fang Shuyong and wanted to arrest him.

Seeing this, Fang Shuyong would certainly not sit still and wait for death, but would resist.

Fang Xiaorou had her back to the changes here, so she didn't notice them. She was about to answer Zhao Wenchen's question when she heard a noisy sound in her ears.

"Um--"

"master--"

The muffled groans and the servants' shouting mixed together made Fang Xiaorou turn around suddenly. She saw the two men brought by Zhao Wenchen attacking her father Fang Shuyong, who was struggling to resist.

But her father was no match for those two men. She saw her father being punched several times.

This scene made Fang Xiaorou panic immediately. She opened her mouth and yelled at the two men, "Stop, stop now, don't hit my father!"

How could those two people listen to her?

Fang Xiaorou had already seen blood oozing from the corner of her father's mouth. This scene pierced her heart like a sharp blade. She turned her head and looked at Zhao Wenchen.

"Wen Chen, tell them to stop. What are you doing? He is my father. How can you do this to my father?" Fang Xiaorou's voice began to tremble with anxiety, panic and fear.

Zhao Wenchen ignored Fang Xiaorou's words. He looked at Fang Xiaorou without blinking. Fang Xiaorou saw a sharpness in Zhao Wenchen's eyes, which made her feel a chill in her heart. She subconsciously took a step back.

At this time, Zhao Wenchen took a step towards Fang Xiaorou, raised one of his hands, pinched Fang Xiaorou's chin, and asked sternly: "Tell me quickly, who are these "they" you are talking about?"

Fang Xiaorou was frightened by this sudden action, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she grabbed Zhao Wenchen's arm with both hands, "Wenchen, what's wrong with you? I'm Xiaorou, you're pinching me so hard, please let go... How can you do this to me and my father? Please make them stop!!!"

At this time, the servants who had been shouting just now surrounded the two people who attacked their master Fang Shuyong.

But as soon as the servants of the Fang family approached, before they had a few exchanges with the other party, they were beaten to the ground, and the wailing sounds continued.

Fang Xiaorou looked at the servants lying down, and her heart sank. She almost couldn't breathe because of the pressure.

Seeing that she did not respond to him, Zhao Wenchen increased the strength of his grip on her chin, and soon, the area that was pinched turned red.

Fang Xiaorou cried out in pain, and tears fell one by one like pearls from a broken string.

Her chin was pressed down by Zhao Wenchen, and she couldn't say a word.

She didn't understand, what was going on?

Why did Zhao Wenchen become like this?

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and thought of what everyone had said during this period of time. So they were not lying to her. Zhao Wenchen...

[Hehehe...I am stupid, if it weren't for me...]

Fang Shuyong was hit by several punches and lay on the ground. Because the two men went to deal with several servants of the Fang family, Fang Shuyong was able to catch his breath for a moment.

He didn't care about his injuries at this time, and looked in the direction of Fang Xiaorou, just in time to see the scene where Zhao Wenchen was holding Fang Xiaorou hostage.

When Fang Shuyong saw this scene, his heart sank. He struggled to get up, but he was exhausted and fell to the ground again.

But when he saw Fang Xiaorou was in danger, he gritted his teeth, and staggered to his feet. He staggered behind Zhao Wenchen and rushed towards him with all his strength.

Because of the collision, Fang Shuyong pressed Zhao Wenchen to the ground. He shouted loudly to Fang Xiaorou: "Xiaorou, run away quickly, don't worry about me!" These words are full of a father's deep love for his daughter.
