☆, Chapter 73 You are very important in his heart
The day Shu Wanning returned to the company, the sun was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.
She finished the work as quickly as possible and stopped Wen Yuming before lunch break.
Looking at the text messages on his phone, Wen Yuming suspected that his brother had angered his sister-in-law again. That was why his sister-in-law wanted to have lunch with him.
He rushed to the restaurant with a nervous heart, and Shu Wanning was eating the salt and pepper rice crust in front of him.
He didn't dare sit down, but asked: "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?"
"He had an online meeting to attend, so we packed it up for him after we finished eating."
Hearing this, Wen Yuming breathed a sigh of relief, sat opposite Shu Wanning, and used hot water to heat the tableware for both of them.
Shu Wanning curled her lips: "Your brother is the same."
"Hey, my brother taught me all this."
The dishes Shu Wanning had ordered were already on the table. She didn't pick up her chopsticks, but asked, "Have you ever had a conflict with your brother?"
Wen Yuming shook his head: "No.
"He takes good care of me and doesn't argue with me."
He took the serving chopsticks and imitated Wen Yuci in picking up food for Shu Wanning, saying in a muffled voice, "I know my brother is having a hard time, so I don't want to add to his troubles."
Shu Wanning responded and asked him, "Why haven't you come to Qianyue Bay these days?"
“I’m too busy at work.”
"I asked your supervisor, and he's not very busy lately."
Shu Wanning exposed Wen Yuming's lie with just one sentence.
He put down his chopsticks like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
He quietly raised his head, glanced at the face of the person opposite him, then lowered his head and said, "I know the reason why you are sick."
Shu Wanning didn't answer him, but asked: "Have you done anything to let your brother down in all these years?"
"Of course not!" he replied. "I just want to be good to him."
Shu Wanning picked up his favorite meat for him and said softly, "You have grown from a very good child to a very good adult."
“There are many things that your mother did wrong, but that has nothing to do with you.
Don't blame yourself, and don't feel sorry for me or your brother.
You are you, she is her. Your good has nothing to do with her, and her bad has nothing to do with you."
Wen Yuming's eyes were red and he opened them wide, trying not to let the tears fall.
He raised his arm to wipe his tears and asked, "Did my brother ask you to come?"
"no."
Shu Wanning took a sip of juice and smiled: "Actually, your brother was also very sad during the past few days when you were absent."
She asked Wen Yuming to raise his head and looked at him seriously.
“Yuming, it’s difficult for you two brothers to be caught in the middle of these grudges.
But these grudges are not caused between you.
Your brother only wants you to be the carefree younger brother who lives under his wings."
"I understand, thank you, sister-in-law."
Shu Wanning shook her head to indicate that there was no need to thank her, and Wen Yuming ate the piece of meat she had picked up.
He sniffed, looked at her and said, "Actually, I know why my mother is sick."
Under her shocked gaze, he said, “I saw Yan He put medicine in her soup.
I also know that my brother just wants her to be sick for a few days, and I think that's fine.
Otherwise, she would just ask me to fight for the company, but I just want to be a useless person next to my brother."
"You're not trash." Shu Wanning retorted, "You're very important to him."
The two looked at each other, and Wen Yuming lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Then let's eat quickly, sister-in-law. My brother loves this beef. I'll bring it back to him later."
When Wen Yuci returned to the company, the meeting had already ended. At the office door, Shu Wanning gestured for Wen Yuming to deliver lunch.
"I still have work to do, you go and deliver it."
Without giving him a chance to speak, she turned and left, walking even faster than usual.
He pushed open the office door, Wen Yuci looked up at him and asked, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
The smile on Wen Yuming's face disappeared instantly.
"Brother, the only thing on your mind is your sister-in-law."
He placed the lunch box on the table and said in a muffled voice, "I brought you lunch."
His aggrieved look made Wen Yuci shake his head and laugh. He took out the car keys from the drawer and handed them to him.
"You've been doing well recently, so I'll return the car to you."
"real!"
Wen Yuming took the key and put it in his pocket. He walked out the door with a smile and said, "Brother, you eat first. I'm going to work!"
"Wait." Wen Yuci stopped him, "Once you're familiar with one department, go to the next one."
"Okay!"
When Shu Wanning came back, Wen Yuci was still eating. She sat at the table and asked, "Is the food delicious today?"
"not bad."
He said it was fine, but the joy emanating from within couldn't be faked.
He closed the lunch box and put it aside, then went back to the lounge to rinse his mouth.
When they came out, Shu Wanning was sitting on a chair playing games. He walked behind her, bent down and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wen."
"Why thank me?"
He leaned against his desk and smiled, "Yan He said you went to see Yu Ming at noon."
His hands were resting loosely on the table. Shu Wanning reached out to hook his fingers and looked at him: "How are you going to thank me, Mr. Wen?"
"How does Mrs. Wen want me to thank you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll just owe it to you."
Wen Yuci nodded gently, holding her hand tightly, and whispered, "After the Qiu family banquet, I need to go to Country Y."
He never liked attending banquets, but he had to go to the Qiu family's.
With reluctance in his eyes, he warned, "You must be careful about everything. You can also find Cen You and Qing Chen if you have any problems."
He smiled and said, "If Sheng An is too busy, you can ask them to help."
"Yes, I remember that."
......
The Qiu family banquet was held in mid-July, the height of summer.
Wen Yuci, wearing a black striped suit, presented the gift as he entered the banquet hall.
Shu Wanning held his arm, wearing a sky blue one-shoulder dress with an oversized bow on the chest, and the hem of the skirt shimmered in the light.
After Wen Yuci greeted the elders of the Qiu family, Shen Qingchen waved to them not far away.
Shen Qingchen: "Brother Yuci, sister-in-law, this is the seat specially reserved for us."
After Wen Yuming, who arrived late, found a few people, he kept glancing at Shu Wanning and was caught by her.
His eyes were evasive and he kept drinking the warm water in front of him as if he was nervous.
Wen Yuci's phone rang a few times. He tapped Shen Qingchen beside him and said, "Go upstairs. Cen You is looking for me."
As if there was something important, he reached out and rubbed Shu Wanning's cheek when he stood up.
"I'll be back soon."
After the two left, before Shu Wanning could say anything, Wen Yuming ran away like a rabbit seeing a wolf.
Her cell phone rang a few times, and the message was from Wen Yuming.
She had a calm expression, played with her phone in her hand for a long time, then lowered her head and smiled faintly.
