Chapter 65: Sending warmth to the eight great families is a fatal blow!

Wen Han slept soundly through the night, finally falling asleep amidst Wen Hao's loud crying and shouting.

The next morning, at Grandpa Wen's urging, Grandma Wen called Wen Qingke and asked him to come and pick up Wen Han. Although Wen Qingke blushed, he still stammered, "Grandma Wen, we just paid the rent recently. It costs more than a hundred yuan to go to the countryside and back. How about this, you give the phone to Wen Han, and I'll try to persuade him."

So Grandma Wen ate fresh glutinous rice cakes early in the morning.

Wen Qingke usually ate a lot of glutinous rice cakes, so he didn't mind. He just kept apologizing to Grandma Wen.

He could still hear Wen Han's spirited scolding voice on the phone: "Look at the time! It's a holiday, why are you waking people up so early? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?!"

Grandpa Wen is old and is very sensitive about these things. He was trembling after hearing it. Wen Ruan got up early in the morning to cook breakfast in the kitchen. Grandma Wen didn't dare to provoke Wen Han and kept giving him meaningful glances.

Wen Ruan couldn't stand it anymore: "Wen Han, say less. Grandpa is so angry with you that he's shaking."

"If you're still shaking, go see a doctor. What's the point of coming to me?" Wen Han said after brushing her teeth. "What, do you really need me to tap you to stop shaking?"

Looking around, Wen Hao was the only one missing; it seemed he hadn't gotten up yet. Once Wen Han woke up, she absolutely wouldn't allow anyone else to sleep. She pushed open Wen Hao's door and flung open the curtains, letting in blinding sunlight.

Wenhao was quite grumpy when he woke up, panting heavily like an angry bull, grunting and groaning about something incomprehensible.

Dr. Wen's leg miraculously healed him; with a single kick, his morning grumpiness vanished, replaced by the wailing of a giant baby.

They're both middle school students, so there's really no comparison. Liu Chuanze and Wen Hao are the same age, look at him.

"Oh dear!" Grandma Wen rushed in immediately upon hearing the crying. "My dear, where did he hit you?"

Wenhao was crying while covering his chest. Grandma Wen quickly reached out to pry his hand open to check if he was alright.

"Oh dear, it's all red!" Grandma Wen stood up angrily and pointed at Wen Han, "How could you hit there?"

Wen Han nodded, indicating that she should continue.

"You're so cruel! Our Wen family only has this one Alpha left. Aren't you trying to make our family line die out because you hate us?"

"I only kicked him once. How could I see anything under the covers? Besides, so what if I kicked him? It's not like I'm going to castrate him."

"You, you—" Grandma Wen said angrily, "That's a fatal wound, don't you understand?!"

When Wen Han first heard the concept of a fatal wound, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wen Han's laughter was very penetrating, possibly a kind of special ability of a villain. His crisp laughter could be heard in every corner of the entire villa.

This laughter was heard before, when Wen Han drove the Wen family out of the Wen family. Grandpa Wen remembered it vividly. Hearing Wen Han's laughter, he felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe.

"I'm dying of laughter." Wen Han pointed at Wen Hao, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. "I've never seen such a small Alpha before, and he has a fatal injury? You're really counting on him?"

Wen Han rubbed his stomach, which was sore from laughing, and breakfast was ready. Wen Ruan kept staring at him as she brought the breakfast to the table.

"Spit it out."

Although Wenruan thought he would be scolded, he still asked, "Whose have you read?"

Wen Han was completely confused: "What do you mean, whose or whose?"

"Didn't you just say you'd never seen such a... you know Alpha before?"

"Wen Ruo was better than—" Wen Han reacted, glaring angrily, "Who do you think she is?"

Fang Songxia.

Wen Ruan knew that Fang Songxia and Wen Han were childhood sweethearts, so Wen Han couldn't find a reason to get angry after hearing this.

Wenhao and his grandmother finally confirmed that the fatal injury was healed and there were no problems. They then took Jin A-sun to have breakfast.

"Here you go, Hao Hao, your favorite beef noodles—where's the beef?"

Wen Han had already rinsed the beef several times with plain water and fed it to her golden cat, Fei Nai'er.

Wenhao shouted, "My beef!"

This house is so big that even a large dog would be helpless against Fat Nail, let alone anyone else.

Grandpa Wen tried to use his cane to chase away Fat Nai'er, but when he stretched out his cane, Fat Nai'er cut it in two.

Grandpa Wen was afraid that Fei Nai'er would turn on him, so he ate his breakfast elsewhere. In his eyes, Wen Han and Fei Nai'er were a little devil and a cat demon brought by the devil.

Wenhao had no choice but to eat the egg, but after taking a bite, he complained that it wasn't a soft-boiled egg.

Wen Han was really annoyed. When she was being this fussy, it was only because she was deliberately making things difficult for people, but this little brat was obviously like this every day.

"Eat it or leave it," Wen Han said impatiently. "Eating such refined food still leaves you just a short, ugly cabbage."

Grandma Wen was furious but dared not speak out, and Wen Hao could only eat noodles mixed with tears.

After breakfast, it's natural to eat some fruit to aid digestion. Wen Han picked up a pomegranate from the table, peeled it, and ate it. Fei Nai'er wanted to try everything, so Wen Han peeled a banana for her instead.

"This is to be kept at night to honor the moonlight!"

"You can just go and buy it again."

When Wen Ruan returned, Grandma Wen asked him to tutor Wen Hao in math. Wen Hao immediately pouted, but Wen Han was hogging the TV, so he had no choice but to be persuaded by Wen Ruan to study math.

"My God." Without the system, Wen Han couldn't find anyone to complain to. They'd been talking for an hour, still on rational and irrational numbers. This wasn't just not paying attention in class; it was like she'd fallen asleep!

Wenruan talked until her throat was dry, but then she realized something was wrong. After asking a few questions, she discovered that Wenhao hadn't even figured out the basics of positive and negative numbers from elementary school, let alone this.

Wen Ruan came out and advised, "Wen Hao hasn't even figured out elementary school material yet. What did you think of him back then?"

"Oh dear, he must have forgotten everything he learned before. You should give him some extra help." Grandma Wen hissed. "I heard from other parents that teachers shouldn't choose students with good grades, because they can't explain things clearly. Instead, they should choose students with average grades, because that's more effective. Why don't you ask Wen Han to teach him and see if it helps?"

Wen Han said that even when she was at her dumbest, she had never been this stupid and dull.

Wenruan didn't suffer for long, because Wenhao refused to study anymore and kept nagging his grandma, wanting to play video games.

"Grandma will show you her phone, okay? You can play games on it."

Finding his voice too loud, Wen Han turned the TV volume up even louder.

Huh? My phone! Wen Han suddenly realized she hadn't called Jing Yu yet.

Wenhao hadn't been playing King of Glory for very long when Wenhan snatched his phone away.

Wen Han first tentatively called Jing Yu: "Hello?"

"Wen Han," Jing Yu's gentle voice came, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Wen Han smiled and said, "I got up early today. Are you home?"

"I'm at the old house now."

Wen Hao watched helplessly as Wen Han was on her phone, chatting away for almost half an hour.

"By the way, didn't you say you had something to do when you got back?" Wen Han asked. "What was it?"

“Hmm…” Jing Yu looked up at the person opposite him, “They’re setting a trap.”

"Pies? You eat pies for the Mid-Autumn Festival at home?" Wen Han didn't hear clearly. "I thought we only ate mooncakes and rabbit cakes."

Although she couldn't see the expression on the other end of the phone, for some reason, Wen Han felt that Jing Yu was smiling: "Then I won't bother you anymore, you can continue."

Wen Han glanced at her phone; forty minutes had passed, and they'd been chatting for almost an entire class period. Grandpa Wen said sarcastically, "They could have eaten lunch by now if they'd been chatting for another minute."

So Wen Han called Fang Songxia instead, but the phone was always busy no matter how many times she called.

...I guess he's taking advantage of the holiday to chat with his idol. Seriously, what's there to talk about so early in the morning?

Remembering Wen Hao's stupidity earlier, Wen Han called Liu Chuanze again. Liu Chuanze answered the phone happily: "Wen Han!"

"Hmm." Wen Han's words puzzled him. "You must study hard."

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

"It's nothing," Wen Han asked. "Are you with Aunt Liu?"

"No," Liu Chuanze said unhappily, "I'm with the Gu family now."

"Could that bitch Gu Cheng be here too?"

Wenruan raised her head, then lowered it again, thinking of her grandmother beside her.

Liu Chuanze whispered, "Although I didn't turn on speakerphone, if an Alpha has good hearing, they can hear what you're saying."

"It's okay." At this moment, Fei Nai'er meowed, wanting Wen Han to peel another piece of fruit for him.

There was a pause on Liu Chuanze's end, and Wen Han thought it was a bad signal. But then Liu Chuanze asked, "Wen Han, is that a cat meowing on your end?"

“Yes!” Wen Han said happily, “Let me tell you, this cat is amazing, it’s incredibly clever!”

Liu Chuanze suddenly regretted not pretending that Wen Han's signal was bad, and then quickly hung up the phone: "President Gu is asking you, is that cat a gray cat?"

Wen Han asked in surprise, "How did he know it was Gray Cat?"

Yanagawa Sawa: "......"

He asked how much it cost.

Wen Han took a bite of the banana and gave the rest to Fei Nai'er: "Where would I get the money to buy a cat? I found one."

Listening to their conversation, Wen Ruan seemed to understand why she felt that Fei Nai'er's cat eyes looked familiar when she first saw her.

Liu Chuanze suddenly went silent during the conversation. Wen Han glanced at her phone in surprise. Why did the kid hang up?

Just then, Fang Songxia called, but Wen Han didn't pay attention and answered the phone: "What, finally decided to hang up?"

"Wen Han?" Fang Songxia asked in surprise, "Isn't that your home phone number?"

"It's a long story. Did you go on vacation these past few days?"

"No," Fang Songxia chuckled. "I've already discussed it with him, and we'll go out together during the winter break."

That's good. Wen Han lay on the sofa: "I'm traveling in the countryside. Ask Aunt Fang if you can come over."

If he keeps stuffing himself with snacks like this, he'll have to go to the hospital to check his blood sugar when he gets back. We need to find someone to come and help him out.

"Sure, why did you suddenly decide to travel? Are you staying at a guesthouse? How much money should I bring?"

“It’s free, no charge,” Wen Han said. “I’m staying at Grandpa and Grandma Wenruan’s house.”

"Ah, this." Fang Songxia sat up straight. "Then I think I'd better not go. After all, it's someone else's house, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go. If I go, I'll definitely have to pay for accommodation and meals, otherwise what if they have a problem with you? Besides, I'm not familiar with them, and if I cause trouble, they'll blame me. So I think I'd better not go this time. How about we go together next time..."

Why all this chatter? Wen Han said calmly, "If you're not coming, don't bother me at school."

"I'll do it!" Fang Songxia said a little embarrassedly, "Um, he called again, I—"

Wen Han hung up the phone without expression.
