"I've thought about it. Since Yuanyuan has made up her mind to cut off ties with them, I won't give them the opportunity to use these as an excuse to find Yuanyuan in the future." Wen Jian said firmly.

According to his understanding of the Qi family, if the Qi family doesn't live well in the future due to their shameless behavior, they will definitely come to Qi Yuan under the pretext that Qi Yuan was lightly punished, and will not admit to severing ties.
Since they were going to sever all ties, he naturally wanted to leave the Qi family with no excuses.
Just like what Wen Jian thought, Qi's father did have such an idea in mind. Just now he was thinking that if the Qi family fell into poverty in the future, he would definitely ask Qi Yuan for help, because he knew that the county lady would definitely give a light punishment for the sake of the Wen family.
Who knew Wen Jian would say such words now? It completely disrupted all his thoughts.
"Wen Jian, what do you mean? Are you hoping that Yuanyuan will break off relations with us?" Father Qi said angrily.
He looked sad and even had tears in his eyes.
Wang Jinhe looked at Qi's father's fake expression and shook his head in amusement: "Boss Qi, can you call these tears crocodile tears?"
Su Yu spoke appropriately: "Xiao He, what is a crocodile?"
"Crocodile is a very cruel and cold-blooded animal." Wang Jinhe helped Su Yu answer in a good mood.
Su Yu smiled: "That's a very apt description."

Wang Jinhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yu as a matter of course and said, "Of course."
Qi Rong was originally very happy because Qi Yuan wanted to sever ties with her family, but when he saw Qi's father like this, he realized that he couldn't let her leave the Qi family.
Otherwise, their family will never get any benefits from the Wen family and the county lord's family in the future.
"Sister, aren't you going too far? No matter what, father is your father. How can you break off relations with him like this? You will hurt father's feelings. There is no way for a family to hold grudges overnight." Qi Rong said gently.
But the implication of those words was that Qi Yuan was an unfilial daughter who actually broke off relations with her father over such a trivial matter.
After Qi Rong finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Su Yu, wanting to see what expression Su Yu would have. Unexpectedly, Su Yu had a blank expression on her face, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
Qi Rong was very dissatisfied with this result, so she turned the topic to Wang Jinhe: "County Princess, you are such a kind person, you shouldn't let an old man lose his daughter, right?"
"Are you morally blackmailing me?" Wang Jinhe originally thought that this matter would be over soon, but who would have thought that Qi Yuan's sister would actually come out to make trouble. What he said was really full of tea.
He looked at Qi Rong with a half-smile: "Old man? I don't think so. My grandfather didn't even say he was an old man. How could he be an old man when he's less than 40 years old? Is the standard for an old man so low these days? Anyone with a daughter is an old man?"
Wang Jinhe's words made Wen Sitong couldn't help laughing.

What my little sister said is so mean. It's so funny to see how ugly Mr. Qi's expression is.
Wang Jingyu coughed lightly and said with a straight face: "Xiao He, how can you compare Grandpa with others? This person doesn't look very healthy, but Grandpa is in good health."
"It's my fault." Wang Jinhe said with a smile.
Yu Bolin looked at the brother and sister with a mixture of laughter and tears, but he didn't mean to scold them. He just said, "If you want to sever the relationship, then do it quickly. We didn't come here today to watch them make trouble. We came here to give them a betrothal gift."
"I don't agree." Father Qi said with a cold face.
"Qi Yuan, you are my daughter. If you don't agree, don't even think about severing ties with me. I raised you all these years."
"It wasn't you who raised me. It was my mother's dowry and the wet nurse she brought with her as a dowry who raised me. It was she who took care of me and brought me up. You are not worthy of being a father at all."
"Before my mother died, she gave all her dowry to you, with only one request: you treat me well, give me one third of the dowry when I grow up, and then find a good family to marry me off. But what about you? If I hadn't met my husband, I would have been married to a 70-year-old man. How can a person like you be worthy of calling me your father? Do you still have any shame?" Qi Yuan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never knew that she was so shameless.
Wang Jinhe frowned and looked at Qi's father with an ugly expression. He didn't expect to have such a father.
"You are talking nonsense..."
"Am I talking nonsense? I have my mother's fake list here. If I want to make a fuss about it, I can ask the county lady to help me get all my mother's dowry back. Although my mother wants to give you two-thirds of the dowry, she also said that you must treat me well. But what kind of life have I led in the Qi family all these years? Don't you have any idea?" Since the implication was to be exposed, Qi Yuan didn't mind making Qi's father lose face.
Wang Jinhe said with a cold face: "I never thought there would be something worse than beasts in the world."
"Sister Wen, I can help you if you need me."
"Thank you, County Lord."
When Qi's father was about to say something, Qi Yuan spoke again: "Isn't this the most disgusting thing about your family? Today is Tongtong's big day, but what did your family tell me? They told me to find a way to keep the betrothal gift my brother-in-law gave to Tongtong, and then give you at least half of it. Why don't you go and grab it?"
Father Qi's face looked a little gloomy. He had indeed reminded Qi Rong about this matter, but he did not expect that Qi Yuan would tell everything in front of so many people.
"You evil girl, I'm going to beat you to death today." As he said this, he was about to attack Qi Yuan.
Father Wen stood in front of Qi Yuan and looked at him coldly: "What are you doing? Are you going to bully my daughter-in-law in front of us? Have you asked for the opinions of my Wen family?"
"Boss Qin, what you did was wrong. Qi Yuan is now the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. You can't just beat her up whenever you want."
Qi Yuan was deeply touched. Her in-laws' protection of her made her feel more belonging and more confident.

Mother Wen walked up to Qi Yuan and put her arm around her shoulders: "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. We have your back. No one can do anything to you while we are here."
"Thank you, mother."
Qi Yuan looked at Qi's father and sneered, "I know why you don't want to sever the relationship, but you want to continue to benefit from the Wen family."
"I'm giving you two choices now. First, we will cut off all contact with each other from now on and I won't pursue the matter of dowry. Second, you can continue to cut off the relationship, but I will take back every penny of my mother's dowry. You know how much of my mother's dowry that woman has used over the years."
