Deric Accused of Physical Assault Deric allegedly asked Jiarong for $500,000 RMB to invest in a Tianjing property. Deric reportedly promised to return the cash amount to Jiarong after he received the proceeds from the property sale. Jiarong claimed that both parties drafted out a legal agreement. After ending his relationship with Jiarong, Deric allegedly declined to return the money back to Jiarong. The severity of Jiarong’s allegations against Deric continued to escalate in severity. In addition to seeking back the $500,000 RMB through legal means, Jiarong vowed to recover compensation for Deric’s infliction of personal injury on her. Deric Had Many Flings Behind Jiarong’s Back? Wen Jiarong revealed that in their 3-year relationship, Deric Wan allegedly proposed to her.

Deric then allegedly demanded $900,000 RMB from Jiarong, in return for her to retrieve her belongings from the house. Jiarong recounted the incident, “I opened the door and saw him together with Zhao Ting, then he said he did not love me anymore. He asked me to return the proposal ring, and then chased me out of the house, saying that he wanted to break off with me. He even asked me to give him $900,000 RMB; only then he would allow me to return back to the house to pack my belongings. I was shocked! I paid for the rental of the house!” Jiarong Preparing to Sue Deric for Assault Jiarong also recounted that Deric had injured her with a fruit knife during their quarrel in 2009. The ex-couple allegedly disputed over Deric’s infidelity and Deric allegedly scarred the back of Jiarong’s neck during the heated argument.

Jiarong told the media that her lawyer had filed a suit against Deric to recover her $500,000 RMB. It was also understood that Deric has been issued a summons to appear in court. Jiarong was confident of winning the case and said, “The lawyer said I had a written agreement, and my chances of winning is high. Even if he does not attend the court hearing, as long as the judge sentences in favor of me, he still needs to return the $500,000 RMB. He sold the Tianjing property for over $2 million RMB!” Aside from the dispute over the $500,000 RMB, Wen Jiarong will also press charges against Deric Wan for personal injury, in which she disclosed that the police had filed records of the assault incident earlier. Deric Uses Grandmother to Gain Public Sympathy? Regarding Wen Jiarong’s damaging claims, Deric wrote on his Weibo blog on July 25th, “My grandma fainted when she heard of your doing, and she is lying in a hospital now. You are not able to hurt me, but you hurt my grandma. If there is any mishap, I will not tolerate you again!” Contrary to Deric’s Weibo posting, his grandmother was reportedly to be in good health. A neighbor of Deric’s grandmother disclosed that Deric’s grandmother was not admitted to a hospital at all, and that Deric had not visited her for a while. This sparked speculation if Deric was using his grandmother to gain public’s sympathy. Deric’s Responses on Weibo Since the scandalous news broke out two weeks ago, Deric has not personally stepped forward to clear Jiarong’s allegations against him. In an earlier interview, Deric’s manager rebuked Wen Jiarong’s statements and claimed that she was only yearning for publicity. Deric’s manager also challenged the legal agreement produced by Jiarong only, expressing that it was only a gift from Deric and should not be regarded as a promise. Deric, however, was more verbal on his Weibo. On July 25th, he wrote, “Deric Wan cheated money and love? This is a good topic to flame, but it lacks one word, it should be changed to Deric Wan being cheated of money and love. This will be a better effect! 7 years, $500,000 RMB is too little right?” Creds: QQ
