Forcefully Marrying the Male Lead - Chapter 52

He still remembered that when the news of his father’s death came, his grandfather seemed to have aged ten years. Since then, he had been disheartened and just kept himself by his side.

However, his grandpa’s health had been very bad since his father’s death, and he passed away within a few years. Wen Renruo once thought it was his illusion. At his father’s funeral, his grandpa looked at his uncle with cold eyes.

Later, when his uncle came to visit him, he often didn’t see him. Wen Renruo thought that he always disliked and didn’t value his youngest son, but it was not the case. When his grandfather was dying, he held his uncle’s hand tightly, stared at him, and asked him to promise to take good care of Wen Renruo, otherwise, he would die with regret.

However, Wen Renruo still remembered the strange atmosphere at that time, so he had been cautious in his words and deeds. The care that his grandpa mentioned was not like an uncle taking care of his nephew, as if it had a deeper and more terrifying meaning, he was trying to stop his uncle.

If what the old man said was true, Wen Renruo’s heart sank. 

His grandpa must have known the truth about his father’s death, but he was old and he was too young to handle it, so he could only hand the Wen family over to his uncle.

Not only that, he also had to erase the traces of killing. However, the eldest son only had Wen Renruo as his bloodline, and his grandfather was afraid that he would attack Wen Renruo again, so he must have reached some kind of deal with his youngest son before he died.

In such a family, relying on emotions to maintain the relationship was probably a joke. However, Wen Renruo desperately hoped in his heart that all this was just his own assumptions and not true. Otherwise, how cruel could his life be?

Wen Renruo’s steps became heavier. He stood at the door, but he didn’t open it. It was as if he had a premonition that if he opened the door, it would be like opening Pandora’s box, and he could never close it again.

If he left, it would still be in time. He could pretend that nothing had happened, forget about this incident, and continue to maintain his peaceful life. Wen Renruo’s eyes kept changing, but in the end, he firmly reached out his hand and pushed open the door.

“You’re here.” The old man was not surprised at all and sighed to Wen Renruo. “What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?” Wen Renruo said with difficulty.

“I have no evidence,” the old man paused and said again, “even if there was, they would have destroyed it over the years.”

“Then how do I know what you said is true?” Although there were many doubts, Wen Renruo had already discovered them. But before there was solid evidence, he still didn’t want to believe that his parents were murdered by his uncle and aunt.

Money was attractive, and this kind of thing was not uncommon in the family. The old man turned around and found some things, which were old bills, almost twenty years old. He placed them in front of Wen Renruo, which was a check and other receipts for purchases. “Look.” 

Wen Renruo looked down. The check was written by his uncle. And the receipts. The things he bought were enough to hurt people. Wen Renruo felt cold all over. That was enough to prove that his parents’ death was not normal.

However, even if there were these, it couldn’t prove that the mastermind behind the scenes was Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen. It was all based on his words. Without enough evidence, Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen couldn’t be punished.

Moreover, with their current power, it would be easy to suppress it, and that would only alert the enemy. However, all of it was based on the fact that what he said was true. However, that old man was originally his parents’ driver. For so many years, others thought he died in the car accident, but in fact he was hiding.

However, he received a large sum of money from his uncle shortly before and after his parents had a car accident, which in itself revealed something strange. Wen Renruo’s body shook slightly, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

There was some cold sweat on his forehead, and Wen Renruo closed his eyes tightly. He seemed to have difficulty breathing. Wen Renruo’s coming actually meant that he had doubts in his heart.

The driver had been hiding for so many years, but he showed up at this moment. There must be a reason.

“I really shouldn’t hurt others. This is my retribution,” he sighed quietly.

Not long after killing Wen Renruo’s parents, he was diagnosed with cancer. After lingering on for so many years, he could no longer hold on. But before he died, he wanted to speak out about these things to make himself feel better.

Wen Renruo was a very sharp and intelligent person. His eyes were red and swollen, but he tried hard to hold back his tears. 

“I will not forgive you,” Wen Renruo said to the driver in a cold voice he had never used before.

Although the man in front of him was a thin and pitiful old man, Wen Renruo would not be soft-hearted towards him. “Take your sins and go to hell to confess to my parents!” Wen Renruo gritted his teeth and said, then he turned and left.

However, not long after he walked away, the tears that Wen Renruo had been holding back finally fell silently, as if he was the kind of person who was forever enduring, unable to cry or make a sound.

Behind Wen Renruo, the old man’s face was pale and he could hardly sit still. He chose to tell Wen Renruo because he wanted to atone for his sins. He wanted to get Wen Renruo’s forgiveness and leave with peace of mind.

But why would Wen Renruo want to help him? He was pitiful, a weak person who deserves sympathy, but even though Wen Renruo was always kind and soft-hearted, he was firm and even cold when it came to principles. The old man didn’t expect this result, he was struck by lightning. 

Wen Renruo left there with heavy steps, he was a little breathless, his heart was heavy. He knew that what he had to do now was just to prove it.

Even though there was a lack of evidence and Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen couldn’t be handed over to the law for judgment, he must get the truth.

“Is this kind of music suitable for prenatal education for babies?” Wen Renruo was playing the piano. Yes, his musical attainments were not low, Yu Sheng could tell. However, that tune seemed dull and depressing, and it seemed to contain a bottomless undercurrent that was about to burst out.

It was very good to Yu Sheng, but it was not suitable for the baby to listen to. It was all because Wen Renyu had been busy with prenatal education recently, so Yu Sheng thought of it.

Yu Sheng’s words made Wen Renruo pause while playing, and then he changed to a soft and soothing song. It was said that music could reflect a person’s inner heart. Even when Wen Renruo played such a tune, she could feel the depression and pain in his heart at this time. Yu Sheng walked to Wen Renruo’s side, leaned against him and listened.

However, after listening for a while, Yu Sheng reached out and pressed down the keys of Wen Renruo. 

“Stop playing,” Yu Sheng whispered. She really couldn’t listen anymore. It wasn’t that Wen Renruo played badly, it was that he played too well and it affected her mood.

Wen Renruo also stopped and said apologetically to Yu Sheng, “I’m sorry.” 

Yu Sheng sighed,

“You’re in such a bad mood. It makes me depressed.” Yu Sheng sat down next to Wen Renruo and looked at his drooping eyebrows. When he was lost, his picturesque facial features became more colorful.

“I’m just unsure about some things,” Wen Renruo said to her with difficulty. He was not a person who was easy to get close to, but he easily confided his thoughts to Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng would not ask him. She guessed that he might know something. With such a relationship, Wen Renruo and Wen Renyu were almost naturally opposed and could not be reconciled.

The more chaotic the family got, the easier it would be for her to fish in troubled waters. Yu Sheng herself knew that her mentality was not good, but that was indeed the way out she had left for herself from the beginning.
