ABCFWGR # Chapter 126: We Must Bring Her Back
"Brother, this is the place," said Chen Qianchuan, standing by the car outside the hotel.
"The place looks so shabby. Yuwei must have suffered a lot," Chen Wantai sighed guiltily.
In reality, the hotel was quite decent, above average even. But for the Chen family, owners of the Chen Group, it indeed seemed a bit subpar. Especially since Chen Yuwei had lived a life of luxury since graduating from university and joining the Chen Group as an executive, later becoming the president. No wonder Chen Wantai felt this way.
"Who can she blame for this? If she hadn't clashed with the old man, he wouldn't have cut her off. Maybe this will teach her a lesson, so she knows who provides her privileged life," Chen Qianchuan sneered.
He particularly disliked Chen Wantai's pretense of concern. If he truly felt guilty, why didn't he say anything back then? Instead, he had abetted the situation. Ultimately, he was just like himself and the old man, all in the same boat.
"Hmph!" Chen Wantai glared at him and angrily walked inside, with Chen Qianchuan leisurely following behind.
They made their way to the room where Chen Yuwei was staying.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Chen Qianchuan knocked forcefully on the door, shouting, "Yuwei, open the door. We're here to take you home."
There was a flurry of activity inside.
After a while, a drunken, slurred voice from Chen Yuwei came through, "I'm not going back. Leave me alone. I just want to live an ordinary, carefree life."
"Hey! Is this girl rebelling?" Chen Qianchuan muttered discontentedly, banging on the door harder, "Is this how you talk to your elders? Open the door, and we can talk inside!"
"Don't scare her!" Chen Wantai scolded, pulling him aside. He leaned against the door and said, "Yuwei, it's Dad. Please listen and open the door. I know you're upset, but the company needs you to come back and take charge."
"Hahaha, take charge? I'm just a puppet you all put in front, right? Do you really need me to take charge? To you, I'm just a pawn you can sacrifice anytime!" Chen Yuwei's voice was hysterical, a mix of laughter and tears.
It was the truth, but hearing it out loud made Chen Wantai and Chen Qianchuan's faces darken.
Chen Qianchuan, losing his temper, said, "Brother, listen to what she's saying! If this gets out, people will talk behind our backs. Step aside, I'll kick the door open."
Chen Wantai refused, and the two brothers started arguing outside the door. One felt guilty towards the woman, while the other wanted to save face. Their argument grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of other hotel guests. Many poked their heads out to watch the commotion.
Gu Chen also heard the noise but didn't bother to step out, having already guessed the situation from the voices. He had no interest in getting involved.
"Ugh~" Wu Anqi, awakened by the noise, rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched, "What's going on outside? I think I heard Yuwei's name and Uncle Chen's voice in my daze."
"Go back to sleep. It's none of your business," Gu Chen said indifferently, his fingers unconsciously touching his lips.
Wu Anqi pouted, feeling he was a bit harsh, but she kept listening intently.
Soon, she confirmed it was indeed Chen Wantai's voice outside, and the argument frequently mentioned Chen Yuwei's name. She quickly understood what was happening.
"No, I need to check on Yuwei. I can't let her be mistreated," Wu Anqi hurriedly got up and started putting on her shoes.
