Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Have to Speak Harshly

”...”

Wen Siyuan glanced at Wen Yue, irritation brewing in his heart. In his memory, this daughter of his had always been quite obedient. How had she changed so completely now?

Taking a deep breath, Wen Siyuan suppressed the rising anger within him, redirecting his gaze back to Su Man: ”Even so, you should not treat the children that way. After all, you’re an adult, and the sum of the ages of the three of them, Wen Yue included, barely reaches twelve or thirteen. Is it really necessary for you to haggle over every little thing with these children?!

In the dead of winter, you expect a six-year-old to cook for herself and for her four-year-old and three-year-old sisters. Should I commend you for your great trust in them, or should I say you are treating them harshly because they didn’t come from your womb?”

”Me, punishing them? My reputation is almost completely ruined by their talk out there. And you say I’m punishing them?” Su Man laughed: ”I know I’m the stepmother, but I’m also a person, flesh and blood, with feelings! I take care of them, I feed and dress them, and yet I’m labeled as the bad woman. Tell me, what have I gained from this? She said the food I cook tastes bad,”

Pointing at Wen Yue, Su Man continued coldly: ”So I let her cook for herself. Now that there’s a comparison, that should shut her up, shouldn’t it?! Besides, haven’t I been the one cooking these past few days? Wen Siyuan, being fair is important. Last time you came back, you had your daughter call me Auntie Su directly. If you keep blaming me this time, saying it’s all my fault, then I’ll... I’ll just go back to my mother’s house!”

As Wen Yue was being punished by standing, she turned to look at Su Man upon hearing her words: ”Then go! If you leave, my mom can come back to our house!”

”Shut your mouth!”

Wen Siyuan scolded his daughter Wen Yue, feeling overwhelmed by the situation. He then said to Su Man: ”If you want a divorce, then go back to your mother’s house. If not, stay here and take good care of yourself, the child in your belly, and your sisters Wen Yue.”

The matchmaker had originally recommended Su Qing to him, not his current wife Su Man, but things took a sudden turn which he might not have understood at first. Now, looking back, it all seemed clear.

Su Man had made the first move, meeting him before her sister, and expressed her interest in him proactively...

Wen Siyuan did not dwell further, but he was certain that this second marriage of his was most likely a scheme by Su Man to end up together with him.

And since she was capable of such scheming and had succeeded, not to mention she was now carrying his child, she would not be considering divorce.

With that conviction, Wen Siyuan had uttered those words just now.

Then, he walked over to his daughter Wen Yue and spoke seriously: ”Stop dreaming about your mother coming back. Not long after your mother and I divorced, she started a new family and is no longer in North City.”

”You’re lying!”

Wen Yue couldn’t believe it.

”Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe it, you can ask your grandma and grandpa the next time you see them.” Wen Siyuan did not wish to speak harshly to his daughter, but he had to return to the station in the afternoon, and he needed to set things straight to prevent the child from continuing her stubborn antics at home, where it would gain her no favor.

So, he sighed softly and added: ”Your Auntie Su is now my wife, and she will be with me for the rest of our lives. If you wish to keep cooking for yourself and for Wen Yi and Wen Yu, then go ahead. Oppose your Auntie Su, keep badmouthing her in front of Wen Yi and Wen Yu, keep calling your Auntie Su a bad woman to others.

You should know that Dad is busy with work, and once I head back to the station, there’s no telling when I’ll be home next. If you keep causing trouble with your Auntie Su, I won’t be around to know, and you and Wen Yi and Wen Yu will have to bear the consequences yourselves.”
