Chapter 9: His Comment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In his previous life, Wen Yue and Yan Shuang got married. After their marriage, they did have a sweet life. However, with the rise of Lu Zishu, Yan Shuang betrayed Wen Yue. In the end, the two of them divorced. Yan Shuang only thought of Wen Yue, whom she had abandoned, when she could not get any benefits from Lu Zishu.
Poor Wen Yue thought that she was sincerely repentant. In the end, in his despair, he even lost a leg because of her.
If Wen Fucheng hadn't helped him back then, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"You think she really likes you?"
"Don't you think we really like each other?"
Wen Fucheng looked at him as if he was an idiot. How could Wen Yue still be so innocent after having dated so many times at this age?
"Are you … mentally ill?"
Wen Yue choked and looked at his second uncle in disbelief.
In the past, no matter how strict Wen Fucheng was, he would never say such things to him. Wen Yue's innocent heart was instantly dealt a blow.
"It was you who taught me."
Wen Fucheng held his forehead. "I taught you how to conduct yourself and manage the company. I didn't teach you to be so blind."
"What do you mean? What was wrong with Yan Shuang? Is Yan Shuang…"
"Use your own judgment. Don't let your guard down just because it's someone close to you. No matter how close you are, it's necessary to leave a trace of caution."
"Does that include you, Second Uncle?"
"Of course."
Wen Fucheng sat at the work table with his hands folded and spoke to him earnestly.
"For now, I don't think she's suitable enough for you to bring her back to the Wen family. As far as I know, your last relationship ended not long ago. If this is what you call true love, it's worth examining your resolve."
"What?"
Before Wen Yue could react, Wen Fucheng spoke.
"From now on, I'll stop all your cards. From now on, you'll rely on your own work to earn money to maintain your so-called true love. Persist until the day I relent."
He went from heaven to hell in a flash. How could Wen Yue not understand what he meant?
Even if Wen Yue did not inherit the Wen family's huge business in the future, at least half of the empire would be handed over to him. All along, Wen Fucheng had been teaching him how to manage the company with all his might.
Everyone who approached him would naturally be suspected of doing so for his status.
Wen Yue was also willing to be tested.
"But Second Uncle, have you ever thought that none of this is valid? No matter how you test me now, I will always be a member of the Wen family. Others will naturally feel the same way."
"So, starting tomorrow, I'm not taking you with me anymore. More than that, I'm letting everyone know I've given up on you."
"Seriously?"
Second Uncle was actually so ruthless.
Wen Yue didn't understand.
"Second Uncle."
"You'll understand in time."
After doing all this, Wen Fucheng indicated that he could leave. Wen Yue walked to the door and held the handle, looking back reluctantly.
"Second Uncle, have you never been irrational for someone your entire life?"
At that moment, Wen Yue could not understand his second uncle. He had never seen the man show weakness. And at that moment, his tone seemed to soften as he laughed at himself.
"I've missed too much because I'm too rational. A lifetime isn't as long as you think. Do you think I'm going to hurt you?"
Wen Yue shook his head.
"I fully understand that you would have such concerns, so I will not over-argue. Instead, I will prove to you, with my own determination, that your answer tonight was wrong. I will prove it to you, Second Uncle." He repeated the words.
After they left, Wen Fusheng still laughed at him for being too naive.
Sometimes something that involves two people cannot be forced through one's determination.
As Wen Yue walked out the door, he was sobered by the cold wind.
Wen Fucheng was looking at his phone thoughtfully.
The familiar string of numbers came into view. He could even recite them backward.
He entered the friend request and quickly received an identity verification.
Ying Jing's profile picture was very simple. It was just two words: Bao Fu.
A leopard demon from Journey to the West had a pair of cool sunglasses perched on his nose. There were two words on the sunglasses. Bao Fu or "Leopard Rich", meaning "Explosively rich", was a popular meme on the Internet recently.
He thought for a moment, then tapped his name and sent it.
Ying Jing, who had received a friend notification, was moisturizing her face and swiping her phone. There were many people who had added her, and some of them had gotten her number from somewhere. In the past, she would have ignored those she didn't know.
Today, she checked through the profiles one by one.
She just didn't want to miss the chance of Wen Fucheng adding her as a friend.
She hadn't held out much hope, but the first one she clicked on was him.
Ying Jing thought that she had seen it wrongly and deliberately looked at it several times.
The result of doing that was that she was careless enough to refuse.
Ying Jing was heartbroken and wanted to call an ambulance.
She knelt beside the bed and wailed.
After finishing his work, Ying Zenan passed by the door and couldn't help but knock. "Ying Jing, what's wrong with you?"
Ying Jing howled for a long time.
"Brother, your brother-in-law, who was about to come into my grasp, flew away."
What nonsense. He told her to get some sleep and turned back to his own room.
Wen Fucheng didn't mind the rejection and tried to add her again.
He was patient with her.
The phone vibrated in Ying Jing's palm, and the girl lying by the bed immediately looked up.
She couldn't care less about the tousled hair or the smudgy face.
"Your brother-in-law is back, brother."
Ying Jing jumped onto the bed happily.
The bed collapsed.
Hearing the loud noise, Ying Zenan rushed over and knocked three times before entering the room.
Faced with a room that seemed to have been ransacked, he looked at his sister's crazy appearance.
"Previously, I felt that there was still some hope for you in wooing Wen Fucheng. Now, I think Wen Fucheng would be crazy if he liked you."
Ying Zenan made her go to the guest room, planning to get someone to send a new bed over tomorrow morning.
Ying Jing hugged her phone and rolled away happily.
Ying Zenan looked at her retreating back and could not help but shake his head.
He took a photo of a collapsed bed and posted it on his social media page.
[Ying Zenan: Ying Jing caused the bed to collapse in the middle of the night. [Picture] ]
Soon, there were various messages and likes.
Most of the replies were: Baby Jing is awesome.
There were so many coincidences in this world that even Ying Zenan had forgotten which occasion he had exchanged messages with Wen Fucheng out of social courtesy. As a result, Wen Fucheng had been lying on his friend list for so long that he had forgotten.
Wen Fucheng naturally saw Ying Zenan's post.
He looked at the picture for a long time, even though there was no sign of her. He pictured her.
A one-of-a-kind comment came under a cloud of following comments.
[Wen: Very cute.]
Being in the same social circle, they all knew one another.
Naturally, many people saw the comment.
[Something's wrong with you, President Wen.]
