Forget it, hasn’t the old man from the Wen family always been like this?

Always put profit first.

As for favoritism, Wen Xi was too lazy to care.

"Let's forget about the matter of "Jiuzhou". What do you think about the magazine and publishing?" Speaking of matters of interest, Wen Ruohai looked at Wen Xi and his expression changed again.

"How can you be so narrow-minded at such a young age, even holding a grudge against your family?"

"Grandpa, you're really serious." Wen Xi smiled faintly and said slowly, "How can a family hold a grudge?"

"Then why did you do it?"

"Just as Aunt said, wasn't your relationship with my father still strained at that time? I was also worried that Aunt and the others would be in a dilemma after knowing my true identity. Didn't you previously order everyone in the Wen family not to have any contact with my family? I was also thinking about them, so I had to reluctantly refuse."

“…” Wen Ruohai was choked and speechless.

"As for handing the picture book over to another publisher, firstly, it's because of the reason mentioned above. Our relationship hadn't been restored before the contract was signed. Secondly, I also want to see if I can prove my ability on my own, rather than relying on family influence."

After hearing her words, Wen Ruohai said nothing. After a long while, he snorted in dissatisfaction: "You have backbone."

"I wouldn't dare. I can't even match one tenth of grandpa's character." Wen Xi flattered him. He was very polite and knew how to advance and retreat properly. No one could find any fault with him.

Wen Chenghui, who was sitting opposite, was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't expect that even after all this, she could still make it up, and even make it so reasonable!

"Alright, now that it's settled, let's not talk about it anymore." Wen Ruohai stopped pursuing the matter and said solemnly, "It's a good thing for young people to have their own ideas. But Xi'er, you're still young and haven't entered society. You don't have enough experience dealing with people, so it's easy to be deceived. In the future, remember to discuss anything with your family first. Your aunt and cousin will never harm you."

"I understand, Grandpa."

"Well, I'm glad to know." Wen Ruohai glanced at the younger generation and said, "As I said before, you brothers and sisters must unite. A single chopstick is easy to break, but a bunch of chopsticks is not easy to break. The Wen family will be yours from now on, and it will ultimately depend on you to maintain it. As the old saying goes, wealth cannot last for more than three generations, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. You must always be vigilant."

"It's Grandpa."

Several grandchildren hurriedly responded in unison.

After dinner, everyone followed Mr. Wen to the living room to rest for a while.

As soon as they sat down, all kinds of fresh seasonal fruits were served. The old lady hadn't seen her third son for a long time, and she was so happy that she pushed his favorite green grapes in front of him.

Unable to tolerate her mother's little actions, Wen Chenghui cursed her coldly.

Her voice wasn't loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

Wen Luo was a child after all, and was curious about the slang she had never heard of before. She blurted out, "Mom, what did Second Auntie mean by that?"

Lu Yuan frowned and scolded her, "Just eat seriously, why are you asking such nonsense?"

As he said that, he stuffed a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth.

Wen Luo, whose mouth was blocked, opened his eyes wide, looking innocent and a little aggrieved.

Didn’t I tell her to ask if she didn’t understand?

Wen Chenghui glanced at her as if she were an idiot. "What's there to ask? You can't even understand such a simple meaning. Don't you have a ready-made example at home? God is blind! Evildoers will not be punished!!!"
