âIt was her who asked me to call you out. She also said that now that youâre back in the capital, you should return to the Wen family. She wants to take you to Mr. Ouâs birthday banquet tonight.â
âIâll go to Mr. Ouâs birthday banquet on my own, but not as a member of the Wen family. You donât need to worry about this matter. Also, tell her that I wonât return to the Wen family. Let her and those people not have too many expectations.â
Hearing Wen Xin mention those people, Wen Huaiâs gaze also darkened. He was clear in his heart that until Wen Xin had not thoroughly investigated the matter, everyone could potentially be the ones who harmed his parents.
âActually, auntâs relationship with them isnât very good either. Aunt insisted on coming to the capital to take care of me and to marry Uncle Ma. Those people had already stripped her of her identity, and aunt has not returned there for a
long time.â
Wen Huaiâs words made Wen Xinâs originally casual gaze become serious. Wen Xin had never paid much attention to Wen Zhimoâs matters, so she was unaware of the fallout between Wen Zhimo and those people.
Wen Xin fell silent, having always thought it was Wen Zhimoâs compromise that protected Wen Huai from being disturbed by those people. It seems she thought too much.
âSister, actually, Grandpa really hopes youâll return. Grandpa knows youâve been investigating the matter. He said if you return, investigating the incident from within would save a lot of trouble.â
Wen Huai knew that Wen Xin had a good relationship with the Tang family. To some extent, Wen Xin would listen to his grandpaâs advice. He also thought it was a good suggestion. If Wen Xin would go, taking control there would be much easier than her current situation.
âDo you think I can come out unscathed from that place that devours people without spitting out their bones? Donât forget thereâs also an Alfredo there.
What about Mu Chengxi if I go back?â
Mentioning Mu Chengxi softened Wen Xinâs gaze significantly. He had placed her at the pinnacle of his heart; how could she possibly leave him?
âWhat I want is the truth, not a perfunctory shortcut. Iâve made so much preparation over the yearsânot to end up with a compromise.â
Wen Xin suddenly sat up straight, her bright eyes seriously looking at Wen Huai, âYou just need to take care of living well. Leave the matters of that place and those messy people to me.â
Wen Xin suddenly became very domineering and unbridled, giving off an aura of fearlessness.
Seeing Wen Xin like this, Wen Huai felt complex emotions. He didnât want to be the little brother always protected by his sister. He wanted to become strong, to shield Wen Xin from the wind and rain one day, so she wouldnât have to work so hard.
âAlright, I have other things to do, so Iâll go first. Donât worry about that place.
As for Grandpa, I know he means well, but I wonât return there.â
Wen Xin picked up her jacket beside her, patted Wen Huai on the shoulder, and walked out of the café nonchalantly.
After Wen Xin left, Wen Zhimo came out from the brand counter and sat down opposite Wen Huai, her gaze eagerly fixed on him.
âHow did it go? Talking with her? I heard she will participate in independent enrollment. Didnât she consider returning, taking training, and taking over the inheritance rights?â
Wen Huai, seeing Wen Zhimoâs excited demeanor, shook his head, âSister said she wouldnât return there, and she doesnât seem to believe that Grandpa wants her to go back. Aunt, I have to say, even Grandpa canât change her mind. If she wanted to return, she wouldnât have fought her way out of there even if it meant death.â
Watching Wen Xinâs departing figure, Wen Huai sighed softly. If it werenât for his auntâs earnest pleading last night, he definitely wouldnât have said such things to Wen Xin. Actually, he also didnât want Wen Xin to return there. That place was no better for Wen Xin than Country Z.
âYou all, ah, your sister is about to turn nineteen soon. In that place, one can get engaged at nineteen. Nowadays, Alfredoâs power is growing stronger, and Iâm worried he might make a move on Wen Xin. But if Wen Xin takes the initiative to return and accept the inheritance, then Alfredo wonât be able to force her.â
In Wen Zhimoâs eyes, Wen Xin was just a country girl who grew up in the countryside with nothing but a pretty face. She thought that when Alfredo made his move, Wen Xin would be unable to withstand it.
Wen Huai looked at Wen Zhimoâs worried face and said nothing. He didnât reveal anything about Wen Xin, feeling it was better for Wen Zhimo to know as little as possible about Wen Xinâs matters.
Just as Wen Xin was about to get in her car and drive away, the crisp sound of high heels approached from not too far away.
âWen Xinâ¦â
Hearing the voice, Wen Xin did not rush to turn around but waited for the woman behind her to come in front of her.
Looking at Wei Shisheng dressed in clothes from the Huoluo family, Wen Xin slightly squinted her eyes. She had forgotten to remind the Huoluo family not to do business with Wei Shisheng anymore.
Wei Shisheng stopped in front of Wen Xin, about to say something, then saw the necklace around Wen Xinâs neck. Her eyes widened instantly, envious of seeing the limited-edition necklace worn by Wen Xin.
âWen Xin, donât think that just because youâre with Mu Chengxi, youâve won. I can clearly tell you that today I will let you see what a real great family is like.â
Listening to Wei Shishengâs words and seeing her arrogant demeanor, Wen Xin sneered, âWhat? Canât get Mu Chengxi, so youâre planning to get engaged to Ou Shenzhi? If thatâs the case, then I really have to congratulate you in advance.â
Wen Xin felt nauseous looking at Wei Shisheng, especially after knowing she practiced some dubious hypnotism techniques. Wen Xin found her even more disgusting, like a rat from the gutter, only doing things that couldnât be seen in the light.
Wen Xin opened the car door, pushed Wei Shisheng aside, and sat in the driverâs seat. She started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
Wei Shisheng watched Wen Xin arrogantly drive away. Biting her lip, she watched the direction Wen Xin left with hatred. Today, at tonightâs banquet, she must crush Wen Xin underfoot, ensuring Wen Xin never has a chance to turn the tables again.
Leaving the parking lot, Wei Shisheng entered a seven-star hotel and directly went to the presidential suite on the 27th floor after revealing her identity.
Two men in black stood outside the suite. Wei Shisheng approached them and stated her identity and purpose.
âIâm here to see my cousin. I wonder if my cousin is available now..â
