Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 9

"Then what makes you so angry?"

At this time, Shirley did not know why her father had flared up. She did not know that Jean, who had always smiled and borne all hardship from her family, had completely changed. Jean had now become bold enough to directly challenge their father.

At last, Mr. Wen's mood became slightly more stable. He turned to face his daughter. He glowered as he spoke, "Zed terminated the process of the land transfer."

"Terminated!"

When Shirley heard what had happened, her mood worsened. Her expression hardened but her tone gave away the worry she felt.

No wonder her father was so angry. She knew that her father had worked really hard to get the land.

"It must be because I beat Jean. She is such a disobedient daughter. After what happened last night, she must have complained to Zed. That must be why Zed stopped the land transfer. It's the only explanation."

Mr. Wen was extremely upset. He gnashed his teeth and cursed Jean so much that he did not notice Shirley's reaction. From his outburst, it was rather obvious that his hatred toward Jean was strong.

Shirley thought for a moment and then said slowly, "Dad, don't be cross. You said that Zed only terminated the transfer process, right? This proves that it is not quite over yet. So if we butter him up, there might be a chance!"

"Butter him up? It is by no means easy. Now, whether Zed will see me or not is a different problem altogether. Besides, I kicked Jean out of our home yesterday. She is Zed's wife. Even if they have a bad relationship, our behavior toward her will bias Zed. That is a fact, " said Mr. Wen.

As he discussed alternatives with Shirley, Mr. Wen calmed down. With a clear mind, he was able to look at the problem from all angles.

He cursed himself for beating Jean the night before. Had he known how Zed would react, he would have controlled the anger he felt when he saw what Jean had done.

Instead of acting harshly, if he had talked with Jean more calmly, he might have had the chance to change this situation into a better one.

Mr.Wen was seized with remorse.

When Shirley heard her father talk about Jean and Zed, she felt very jealous and resentful. Jean was undeserving of this opportunity to marry such a rich and influential person.

After a bit of hesitation, Shirley contrived an eager, ingratiating smile and said to Mr. Wen, "Dad, how about letting me talk to Zed."

The tone of her voice allowed Mr. Wen to guess what she was thinking.

And since Mr. Wen knew his daughter, he was certain that talking was not the only thing on Shirley's mind.

Once he had guessed her intentions, Mr. Wen turned to face his daughter. Her eager expression confirmed his fears.

So Mr. Wen glared at Shirley, and replied crossly, "That's enough. Isn't the situation messy enough already?"

"I just..."

Shirley wanted to say something more, but she happened to see her mother Joy coming downstairs leisurely. She suddenly seemed to think of something important, and so she turned to address her mother. "Mom, sister Jean... "

"Your sister? That woman is not your sister!" said Joy.
