Chapter 461 Hong Kong, the Wei Family

Lu Jinye nodded, his tone gradually becoming clear and serious. "Behind the Imperial Alliance is the Godfather of Iplis, who in turn has close ties with the Dawa military regime. They support each other, and we cannot sever their ties. The struggle against the Godfather is, in essence, also a struggle between China and the Burmese barbarians."

"The Burmese have coveted China for many years, and even after the recent change of government, they continue to provoke us in every way, their ambitions are blatant!" Wen Ni's cigarette butt burned her fingertip, but she seemed oblivious, her voice deep and somber, "A war between China and Burma is inevitable!"

"If that day ever comes, you will go to the battlefield without hesitation."

Lu Jinye asked, and he reached out to take the scalding cigarette butt from her hand.

It was less of a question and more of a statement.

Because he knows her too well!

"I can."

Wen Ni's answer was firm and decisive.

This time, however, she knew to look back at her lover and ask him, "Will you blame me then?"

How could I blame you?

Lu Jinye smiled, his fingers tenderly running through her hair, tracing her eyebrows and eyes!

"You are the light that dispels the fog, the sword that shatters towering mountains. I will stand with you, cheering you on until victory!"

Her heart beat with every word he said.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry, Lu Jinye."

"There's no need to apologize to me. I'm happy and incredibly grateful for your courage and my choice."

Hearing his words, Wen Ni slowly closed her eyes.

I felt a tender, lingering kiss fall between my brows!

The bright moonlight bears witness to our vows.

Yes, we are all very brave.

They bravely chose to love each other before the flames of war arrived, without being held back by it! They simply forged ahead, hand in hand!

All feasts in this world must eventually come to an end.

No matter how reluctant we are to part, the holiday is too short and we will have to go our separate ways.

The start of the school year in March is just around the corner.

Wen Ni entered the waiting room alone, carrying her schoolbag.

The moment my butt touched the seat, I was bombarded with a barrage of WeChat messages!

[Lu Jinye]: You're inside? Then I'll leave?

Wen Ni replied via voice message: "I'm already sitting in the waiting room. You should drive back quickly. There are so many things to do at the group; how did you manage to sneak out this time? Do Bei Tuo and Xi Yun know?"

[Lu Jinye]: I arranged a bunch of things for the two of them. They are working overtime at the company and are probably already too busy to notice that I left.

Wen Ni couldn't help but smile: What a cunning boss!

[Lu Jinye]: Although I know you're aware of this, I still can't help but offer a few words of advice. Even though Caesar Perth has people watching him, we can't be sure if he's the real Godfather. And Godfather Iplis has already appeared in the country. We're in the open, he's in the shadows. You're going to Hong Kong alone, so please be extremely careful. I've already contacted Old Wei and asked him to look after you. He's a trusted old friend of my grandfather; you can ask him for help if anything happens. Also, I've already informed the Lu Group in Hong Kong. The necklace around your neck is the token; it's entirely up to you, Mrs. Lu, to manage it.”

Looking at the text that almost takes up the entire phone screen.

Wen Ni could sense his deep concern.

"You and Lu Jinbai should also be careful."

"Don't worry about me."

Staring at the reply, Wen Ni gripped her phone tightly.

The airport loudspeakers also announced that it was time to board.

Just as she was about to stand up, a figure brushed past her from the side.

"Snap"

A medical and nursing book fell to the ground at her feet.

"Excuse me." A magnetic, mature voice, carrying a gentlemanly distance. At the same time, a pair of fair, well-defined fingers picked up the book.

Wen Ni followed that hand and looked up.

A tall figure wearing a white hoodie and trousers came into view. The man had short black hair, a rugged and handsome appearance, and black-rimmed glasses on his high nose. His eyes were cold and world-weary!

It perfectly fits the image of a cold and aloof man with a restrained and ascetic nature.

She took a step back without saying a word.

He merely glanced at her before grabbing his briefcase and the book in his hand and heading towards the boarding gate.

The airport loudspeakers broadcast another reminder to board.

Wen Ni tightened her backpack straps and stepped forward!

What awaits her in the port city?

The plane flew through the clouds and over the coast.

We successfully arrived at the southernmost coastal city in China.

The weather here is warm, the trees and flowers are lush, and the climate is pleasant.

As soon as I got off the plane and walked out of the terminal

Wen Ni's phone then rang repeatedly from an unknown number.

The territory is the port city.

Hello?

"You must be Wen Ni?"

The man's voice on the phone sounded somewhat frivolous and unsteady, launching into a rapid-fire monologue.

“My name is Wei Xinghe. Wei Zumao is my grandfather. He asked me to pick you up. You should have gotten off the plane by now, right? I’m at Exit 1. My license plate is Hong Kong A88188.”

"good."

After Wen Ni agreed, she immediately spotted the extremely flashy sports car.

Flame red, four convertible seats.

A man and a woman were leaning against the hood of the car.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, but they just don't look very proper!

Putting everything else aside, just look at the fact that the man's shirt was half undone, and the woman was wearing a bodycon skirt that was so short it barely covered her buttocks, and she was rubbing against the man's chest in public!

"This is truly indecent!" The elderly men and women passing by couldn't help but spit.

"..."

Wen Ni, who was dragging her luggage, couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

Is the Wei family that Lu Jinye mentioned a respectable family? How could Grandpa Lu, such an upright and honest man, have this type of confidant?

never mind.

She should rely on herself.

Thinking this, Wen Ni decisively turned around and walked away.

But before she could sneak away, the dissolute young master of the Wei family spotted her first. He pointed a finger at her clearly!

"Pink shirt, white pants, carrying a backpack and dragging luggage! Even without makeup, her face is so pure and clean. You can tell at a glance that she is a young, beautiful, and naive female college student! Hmm~ You must be Wen Ni, the one Grandpa asked me to pick up?"

"Actually, there's no need to trouble Elder Wei." Wen Ni said calmly, though she wasn't really willing.

"Get in the car, Grandpa's waiting to see you!" Wei Xinghe pushed aside the hot woman, stepped forward and took the suitcase from Wen Ni's hand, and winked at her, "By the way, you can call me Brother Wei."

"Um."

Wen Ni nodded and was about to sit in the back seat.

After packing her luggage, Wei Xinghe hooked her backpack strap and opened the passenger door!

"You can sit here."

"And what about me?"

The woman in the bodycon skirt glared at him.

"You? Take a taxi home yourself." Wei Xinghe slapped a stack of hundred-yuan bills onto the woman's collar.

"I'll take a taxi myself?" The woman stomped her foot angrily, watching the sports car speed away. "Wei! Xing! He! You scumbag!"

"..."

On the speeding sports car

Wen Ni sat quietly in the passenger seat, and she could feel Wei Xinghe's scrutinizing gaze sweeping over her repeatedly.

“My grandfather said you are the granddaughter of one of his old friends, and that you were admitted to Huashang University and will be staying with us for a while. But my grandfather has many old friends, and I've never heard of anyone with the surname Wen. Besides, the surname Wen is not very common.”

Didn't Grandpa Wei tell you?

"No, I asked him, but he was being secretive and wouldn't tell me."

Wei Xinghe shrugged and turned the steering wheel.

"The old man dragged me out of bed early this morning to pick you up for him. I canceled everything for today just to welcome you! The old man's level of importance makes me suspect... you're the granddaughter of one of his old flames! The so-called old friends are just an excuse for him."

"Old flame?"

"Yes, back in the day, my grandfather was quite the ladies' man. He had a lot of romantic entanglements, and countless young women were ruined by him..."

Once Wei Xinghe started talking about this, he became very talkative.

Wen Ni extinguished his anger with just six words.

"Romantic? Like you?"

"...This little girl has quite a sharp tongue."

Wei Xinghe muttered something to himself, then stopped talking and drove quietly. Wen Ni finally had some peace and quiet.

The car drove into the bustling city center.

Then turn onto a quiet path.

Tall trees line both sides of the path, and at the end, a carved iron gate slowly opens, revealing lush green gardens and shrubs.

"Young Master."

"Yes, is Grandpa home?"

"Yes, yes, I'm here!"

Wei Xinghe tossed the car keys to the bodyguard.

A young butler in a gray double-breasted suit came out to greet them. He smiled slightly at Wen Ni, then awkwardly tugged at Wei Xinghe's sleeve. "Young Master, the Master is here, but..."

"Why are you pulling and tugging at me?"

Wei Xinghe was confused, but he kept walking inside.

Wen Ni followed them into the front hall.

In the front hall, an elderly man with slightly gray hair sat in the main seat of the sofa, surrounded by three or four women. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they were all around forty or fifty years old and still had a charming appearance!

Moving outwards, six men and women sat on either side of the sofa, including boys and girls, ranging in age from their teens to their twenties...

"Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Second-Grandma, Third-Grandma, Fourth-Grandma, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Uncle, Little Brother, Little Sister," Wei Xinghe called out a string of names like reciting a menu. "Grandpa asked me to pick them up, and I've brought them back!"

"..."

The Wei family is truly thriving.

Wen Ni sighed inwardly, utterly speechless.

She knew that Master Wei was a womanizer, but she never expected that he had gone so far as to keep all his women and children together! It was practically like a polygamous mansion in feudal times.

"You are Wen Ni?"
