The banquet officially started at 8:20. The gorgeous crystal chandeliers in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed a lot, and all the lights were focused on the big screen in front of the banquet hall.
The first scene on the screen was a group of children wearing old, patched but neat clothes and bright red scarves. They said in unison: "We thank all the grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters for their love and help. We will study hard and make progress every day. When we grow up, we will be useful people who repay society and help those in need just like you."
The innocent faces and pure souls presented before everyone shocked everyone present! In each picture, there were pictures of children walking to school regardless of rain or shine, climbing mountains and crossing rivers, and their cheers after owning a new school.
There are pictures of disabled babies being abandoned on the roadside by their parents, pictures of them suffering from all kinds of strange looks and bullying in society, and there are also pictures of them self-harming but still determined to study hard and integrate into society!
For a moment, everyone at the banquet was moved and stared at the big screen. Many people couldn't help but take out their handkerchiefs to wipe their tears.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Huiyan quietly gave Wen Xinya a thumbs up.
Wen Xinya also gave her a thumbs up. Seeing that the banquet video was so successful, she had a feeling that she had lived up to her parents’ trust, and the heavy stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground.
At this time, Wen Haowen came to her angrily, grabbed Wen Wenya's arm, and pulled her to the corner: "Come here!"
Wen Xinya was suddenly half pulled and half dragged by him. She stumbled and almost sprained her ankle in her 10-centimeter high heels: "Dad, you're pulling my wrist so hard!"
Wen Xinya probably guessed that it was Xia Ruya who exaggerated the fact that she came to the party and told Wen Haowen. Wen Haowen thought that she went to the party secretly and felt embarrassed, so he treated her like this.
Wen Haowen didn't care whether her wrist hurt or not. His anger had eroded his reason bit by bit, and he shook Wen Wenya's hand away.
Wen Xinya staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was quick to grab the guardrail beside her and managed to stand firm. However, her young face was pale with panic and fear!
"Leave here immediately. I've called my driver to pick you up." Wen Haowen stared at Wen Wenya, as if he wanted to eat her. He had never expected that she would be so bold as to come to the banquet without the company of her elders. How would people in the circle see her? They would definitely think she had no manners!
Wen Xinya widened her eyes in astonishment and asked, "Dad, why?"
Wen Haowen was so angry that his face turned blue, the veins on his forehead were throbbing ugly, and his whole body was full of sinisterness: "You still dare to ask why, you dare to come to such a banquet without your elders, are you representing your grandfather, me, or the Wen Group? You are an underage girl, can you represent the entire Wen family and the Wen Group? In the eyes of outsiders, they think that my daughter is uneducated and has brought shame to the Wen family for nothing."
Wen Xinya looked at Wen Haowen in disbelief: "Dad, who told you that I went to the party without permission?"
Wen Hao's face suddenly twisted: "Do I need anyone to tell me this? Your grandfather didn't attend today's banquet. You didn't come here privately, so what else could it be?"
Wen Xinya explained in a panic: "Dad... it's not what you think. Let me explain..."
Wen Haowen was filled with anger, so how could he listen to her explanation? He interrupted her angrily and said, "What is there to explain? This is not the place for you to come. You are so reckless and don't care about the reputation of the Wen family at all. Such behavior is extremely abominable."
Wen Xinya's face turned pale as she tried to explain to him: "But I'm not..."
"You don't have to say more. I know exactly what's going on." Wen Haowen interrupted her. If it weren't for the occasion of the banquet, he really wanted to slap her in the face.
Wen Xinya continued to explain: "Dad, it's Aunt Zhou..."
At this time, Wen Haowen's cell phone rang. He took out his phone and pressed the answer button. It was his private driver calling. After the call, he grabbed Wen Wenya's hand and pulled her out of the banquet: "Come with me, my driver is waiting outside, I will ask him to take you back to the old house."
Wen Haowen's wrist was as cold and hard as a pair of pliers, tightly holding her hand, causing her wrist to ache: "Dad... I didn't come to the banquet privately, I came because..."
Wen Haowen interrupted her and said angrily, "Don't tell me that it was your grandfather who asked you to come here. Although your grandfather dotes on you, he would never do such a senseless thing."
Wen Xinya stumbled and almost fell to the ground: "No, Dad, I..."
Wen Haowen interrupted her again: "If it's not, what else do you have to say?"
The tug-of-war between Wen Haowen and Wen Xin Yala had already attracted the attention of many people at the banquet. Everyone looked at the father and daughter with strange lights flashing in their eyes, but most of them were gloating and wanted to watch the fun.
The discord between Wen Haowen and Wen Xinya is no secret in the circle. There is a stepmother between father and daughter. This is something that can only be understood but not expressed in words. Everyone actually understands it. They are all in the same circle, and this kind of thing is not unique to the Wen family.
However, everyone is quite disgusted with Wen Haowen's behavior. He doesn't care about his own daughter and takes other people's daughters around all day long. He must be addicted to raising other people's daughters!
At this time, Zhou Huiyan got the news and rushed over. Seeing Wen Haowen holding Wen Wenya's wrist, she hurried over and asked, "Mr. Wen, what's going on?"
Wen Haowen didn't expect that his actions would alarm the organizer of the banquet. He was immediately embarrassed. He glanced at the guests in the banquet hall who were waiting to watch the show. His face became even uglier. He subconsciously let go of Wen Wenya's hand. He became even more dissatisfied with Wen Wenya. Thinking that Wen Wenya came to the banquet privately, he didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Well... Xinya is ignorant and actually came to the party without permission, so..." Wen Haowen felt embarrassed and cursed Wen Xinya thousands of times in his heart.
Wen Xinya looked extremely aggrieved. She lowered her head and looked at the purple bruise on her wrist. Tears rolled down her face like pearls, landing on the shiny and pleasant floor, splashing out beautiful tears.
