Chapter 337 Go back and pretend nothing happened
"Zizhou! He is Meng Jingyang!"
Song Tingwan tugged at Wen Zizhou's sleeve, feeling like she had a huge headache.
Meng Jingyang has mental issues; if he gets agitated and goes crazy, he could hurt someone and be finished.
Wen Zizhou turned around, about to say something, when Meng Jingyang punched him in the face.
"Why are you stopping me from looking at my wife? Get out of my way!"
He raised his fist again, and this time Wen Zizhou wouldn't take it for nothing.
He grabbed Meng Jingyang's wrists with both hands and pushed him hard, causing Meng Jingyang to fall flat on his backside.
That wasn't enough, so he went up and punched one of his cheeks to vent his anger.
As she stood up, Guo Rong's men rushed over. They pinned Wen Zizhou down and were about to attack when Song Tingwan lunged forward, grabbed a chair, and slammed it down forcefully.
"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me will die right here today!"
She pulled out the dagger she had used for self-defense and held it to her neck, which made the men Guo Rong had brought really hesitant to attack.
"Oh, young lady, don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out."
"That's right, there are so many of us here."
The diners quickly came out to persuade her, but Song Tingwan glared at Guo Rong, "I can't believe you managed to find me here. What? Is Qingzhou County so desperate for women that you're in such a hurry to come looking for me?"
Meng Jingyang had already gotten up from the ground. Seeing Song Tingwan's angry face, he helplessly tugged at Guo Rong, "Mother, what should I do if my wife is angry? Will she ignore me?"
Guo Rong comforted him, then turned to Song Tingwan with a smile, "Xiao Wan, what are you saying? You're our Meng family's future daughter-in-law; it's inappropriate to speak like that."
Upon hearing this, the people around couldn't help but look Song Tingwan and Meng Jingyang up and down before shaking their heads.
"Isn't this nonsense? This girl is not good enough for..."
"Shut up, all of you!" Guo Rong interrupted them, taking the marriage certificate from Meng Jingyang's hand and unfolding it. "See that? It's written clearly in black and white."
"My son, have you called my wife wrong?"
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was indeed a marriage certificate, and judging from Song Tingwan's current appearance, they were pretty much certain that it was true.
Wen Zizhou was rubbing his face when he saw Guo Rong holding the marriage certificate with an arrogant and smug look on her face, and he was furious.
Before the others could react, he rushed over, snatched the marriage certificate, and tore it to shreds. "She's your father's wife! Someone like you, with your looks, still wants a daughter-in-law?"
"Look at your son, he's such a dimwit, I spit on him!"
He threw the shards at the mother and son. Meng Jingyang, seeing his precious marriage certificate destroyed, screamed in anger, "I'll beat you to death!"
He rushed over with his eyes wide open, but the restaurant security guards quickly stopped him.
"Beat them! Beat these shameless bastards to death!"
With a flick of her sleeve, Guo Rong's men immediately clashed with the restaurant staff.
She tried to pull Meng Jingyang away, but he had gone mad and she couldn't hold him back no matter what she did.
Wen Zizhou's temper flared up, and he started wrestling with Meng Jingyang on the ground without any regard for the consequences.
"Meng Jingyang, get out of my way!"
When Song Tingwan saw him being pinned down by Meng Jingyang, she ran over to pull him away. Seeing that she wasn't helping him, Meng Jingyang seemed to lose his temper and punched Wen Zizhou on the shoulder.
The already damaged wound was suddenly reopened, and blood quickly soaked through his clothes.
Song Tingwan picked up a chair and smashed it at Meng Jingyang without any regard for the consequences. Meng Jingyang jumped away in pain.
Wen Zizhou instantly felt his breathing become much easier. He sat up, took a few deep breaths, and defiantly beckoned to Meng Jingyang with his finger, "Come on, if you've got the guts, kill me."
"If you want to take Song Tingwan, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
Provoked by this, Meng Jingyang not only wasn't angry but became excited, shouting, "Wife, wife, I want my wife!"
He charged towards Wen Zizhou on the ground like a wild boar, and Song Tingwan was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
"Zizhou! Get up quickly!"
She yelled at Wen Zizhou, but it was clearly too late; Meng Jingyang's fist was about to land on Wen Zizhou's face.
"Who dares to cause trouble!"
A large sword grazed straight past Meng Jingyang, and a powerful voice came from outside the gate.
Meng Jingyang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud. He looked at the large knife, which was about an inch deep in the pillar, and his neck shrank back in fear.
The knife just grazed his chest; he almost died!
His eyes suddenly became cloudy, and he burst into tears, crying, "Little Wan, Little Wan, Mother, I want Little Wan!"
Zou Ersheng glanced at him, and when he saw Wen Zizhou's shoulder, his brows furrowed. "Go find Doctor Jun and bring him over," he ordered his subordinates.
Wen Luozhi had come to see him the day before she left. He felt he would be letting down the money and the trust people had placed in him if something happened.
Seeing that her people had been detained, Guo Rong, remembering how frightened her son had been, trembled with anger. "This is our family matter, what business is it of yours, outsiders?"
"Those who know what's good for them will quickly get out of my way, or they'll regret it!"
"I have nothing to do with them! They attacked and injured people first."
Song Tingwan almost broke her voice as she clutched Wen Zizhou's bleeding wound, feeling extremely distressed.
Li Yunwan upstairs paused, as if she had heard Wan'er's voice.
It was so noisy downstairs just now, she was thinking of finishing her food and leaving quickly...
She suddenly stood up and ran downstairs. When she saw Song Tingwan squatting on the ground with red eyes and a pitiful look on her face, her heart broke.
"Wan'er!"
She ran over quickly, and everyone made way for her.
Song Tingwan could hardly believe it. She stared blankly at the person running towards her, her mouth slightly agape.
When Li Yunwan reached her, she took her hand and only dared to believe it when she felt the soft warmth on her wrist.
"Yunniang, I don't want to marry into the Meng family."
All the pent-up grievances exploded at once, and Song Tingwan burst into tears on the spot.
Li Yunwan pulled her into her arms and gently coaxed her, "No, no, Yunniang has come to take you home."
"Your dad said that as long as you go back, anything is fine with him."
Song Tingwan sniffed, remembering that Wen Zizhou was still bleeding, and quickly stepped back so that someone could lean on her shoulder.
Upon seeing Li Yunwan, Guo Rong immediately panicked.
Now not only can she not bring the person back, but her plan is also ruined.
Li Yunwan rose gracefully, and upon seeing the disheveled Guo Rong and her son, she burst out laughing, "Oh dear, what happened to Madam Guo and Young Master Meng?"
"Oh dear, Young Master Meng, it seems your illness hasn't improved? Have you not yet called a doctor?"
She feigned sadness and sighed again, "It can't be incurable, can it?"
Guo Rong, whose sore spot had been hit, jumped up and was about to slap Li Yunwan when Zou Ersheng grabbed her and threw her behind him, saying, "Try hitting me again right under my nose!"
Once Zou Er got angry, Guo Rong was intimidated and became much more obedient. Seeing that hard tactics weren't working, she could only try softer ones.
She pinched her thigh and squeezed out a few tears. "My dear in-laws, Yang'er misses Xiao Wan terribly since she ran away."
"We were just too hasty. If Xiaowan comes back with us obediently, we'll pretend nothing happened."
Meng Jingyang also stared longingly at Song Tingwan, completely different from his previous crazy self.
"Go back? Go back to marry your insane son?"
Li Yunwan's smile vanished, replaced by a cold sneer, her words showing no mercy to Guo Rong.
