Chapter 1278: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Shi Li felt so relaxed and happy in the water that she almost fell asleep.
Suddenly, a big hand reached out, grabbed her hair, and pulled her out of the water.
Shi Li opened her eyes in horror and saw a man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks standing next to the bathtub, staring at her greedily.
"Mermaid! It's a real mermaid! I want pearls! I want to be rich!" The man seemed crazy. He pulled Shi Li's hair with one hand and reached for her eyes with the other.
Judging from his posture, he actually wanted to dig out Shi Li's eyes.
He only has this pair of eyes, so it’s impossible for him to give it to her. Shi Li endured the pain, turned her head away from his hand, and let out a sharp cry.
It was shrill and terrifying, breaking the silent night.
The greedy man was the closest and was stunned by the sound wave. Shi Li took the opportunity to pull back her hair and punched him hard in the nose.
The man didn't expect that the weak mermaid could still attack him. He staggered back after being beaten, covering his nose and howling twice.
Greed overcame the pain, and even though his nose kept bleeding, he rushed towards Shi Li again.
But this time he didn't even get close to the bathtub as a hand reached out from behind, picked him up and threw him out.
Wen Ren Ding's face was colder than ever before. He glanced at the mermaid in the bathtub, then turned and walked towards the man who had fallen at the door and couldn't get up.
“I… I am your uncle, how dare you hit me…” The man lay on the ground dying, but his arrogant attitude did not change at all.
Wen Ren Ding paused.
His biological mother was a woman as gentle and beautiful as water. More than ten years ago, when his biological mother brought him, who had just turned three years old, back to his maternal grandparents' home, they encountered robbers on the way.
In order to protect him, his biological mother escaped and was left alone to fight the bandits. Later, when Wen Rending's father found his wife's body, it was found to have been stabbed more than 30 times.
The man in front of him was his biological mother's blood brother. For so many years, the Wen family had always treated him with courtesy because of his sister. Even though Wen Rending was irritable and cold, he had always been very tolerant of his uncle.
Seeing that the tripod had stopped, the man thought that his words had worked. He slowly got up and wiped the blood from his nose with a proud look.
"You bought a good mermaid. It looks good. Give it to your uncle... Ouch!!!"
Before he could finish his words, Wen Ren Ding's foot had already stepped hard on the back of his hand, and even crushed it hard a few times.
The man was trampled to the point of being unable to speak and could only howl continuously.
The servants outside came in late, walked into the house and saw this scene, and they did not dare to step forward.
Wen Rending retracted his foot and looked at the servants coldly, "Drag him out and don't let him come again."
Only with the master's order did the servants dare to come up and take action.
They were also fed up with this uncle who came to their house from time to time and acted arrogantly, so several people dragged the man out mercilessly.
The man was covered in wounds, howling and cursing hysterically—
"Wenren Ding! You little bastard! You are the star of damnation! If it weren't for you, my parents wouldn't have died! My sister wouldn't have died either! Sooner or later, you will kill everyone! You little bastard..."
The verbal abuse did not end until the servants covered his mouth.
Wen Ren Ding stood in place, leaving only his back to Shi Li, with his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
Shi Li looked at the mess with lingering fear, opened her mouth, and didn't know what to say.
After a while, Wen Ren Ding turned around, walked over the mess on the ground, and walked towards her.
The frosty air all over his body felt like it could easily freeze a living person to death.
Shi Li looked at him coming over, not feeling scared at all. She pursed her lips and stretched out her hand in grievance.
Wen Ren Ding lowered his eyes and saw a strand of long hair lying quietly in her wet palm.
"That guy just pulled it off, it hurts so much." She complained in a low voice, frowning.
Wen Ren Ding remained silent and took the strand of hair from her.
Then he turned and walked out, and when he came back, he had a crystal-clear comb in his hand.
Shi Li lowered her head through the water and saw that her hair was still messy after being pulled, so she moved forward.
Wen Rending stood beside the bathtub and helped her comb her hair until it was smooth and tidy.
Each of his movements was very gentle, and he was like a completely different person from when he just attacked.
It makes people feel inexplicably attached to it.
The news that Wen Rending had severely injured his uncle in his own mansion spread throughout the city within one night, and also reached the Wenren family's old mansion thousands of miles away.
Father Wen Renqing was so surprised that he could hardly hold the teacup in his hand.
"How could this be?"
"The eldest young master has always been lenient to the people over there over the years. Why would he suddenly get angry? There must be something hidden!" Wang Cuilu, the second wife of the Wen family, frowned and was worried.
Wen Renqing glanced at her and pondered for a moment, "Let Xinqing go there tomorrow to see what happened."
In addition to the eldest son Wenren Ding, the Wen family also has a young lady who is raised by Wang Cuilu - Wenren Xinqing. She has been able to read and write since childhood, and was able to help the family run the business when she was just over 18 years old. She is quite remarkable.
