Chapter 19 What I Desired Most [19]

Wen Zhiyu's abilities are widely known.

Investing in his company is a sure way to make money!

Wen Zhiyu's company is doing very well and is said to be going public soon.

Many people wanted to invest in Wen Zhiyu's company, but he refused them all.

Of course, Ning's mother was very happy to have such a good thing.

She didn't even think about why Wen Zhiyu would go to her right after A Chu and Wen Zeyu divorced.

Ning's mother's tone underwent a complete 280-degree change, becoming almost obsequious: "No problem! Of course, no problem!"

"It's wonderful that President Wen has accepted our Ning family's investment! We can make an additional investment..."

Before Ning's mother could finish speaking, Wen Zhiyu interrupted her: "The investment is Ning Chu's personal investment and has nothing to do with the Ning family."

Wen Zhiyu's tone remained gentle, but his words were utterly unkind.

Ning's mother choked.

She was a little unhappy, but then she thought of Ning Chu, who was from the Ning family!

Mother Ning said with a smile, "That's right, that's right, it's Ning Chu's!"

Wen Zhiyu: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I still need to discuss some contract-related issues with Ning Chu."

Ning's mother quickly replied, "Okay, okay!"

Wen Zhiyu hung up the phone immediately.

He returned the phone to Achu.

Achu took the phone, her brows furrowing slightly, clearly feeling guilty about deceiving her mother.

Wen Zhiyu had investigated Ning Chu and knew how she had been raised by the Ning family.

Therefore, I understand her feelings at this moment.

Wen Zhiyu smiled and stroked her soft, long hair, saying, "It's okay, you'll get used to it after doing it a lot."

"You must remember that you are protecting your own interests."

"Always put your own interests first, understand?"

He was teaching Achu.

Achu tilted her head slightly and met Wen Zhiyu's gaze.

Seeing that she still seemed a little confused, Wen Zhiyu asked her again, "Do you think your mother and the others like you more, or do they like your sister more?"

Achu replied, "They prefer the younger sister."

Wen Zhiyu then asked, "Do you think that if there's a benefit, they'll think of you first?"

Achu shook his head.

Wen Zhiyu: "Do you think they will abandon you once you are no longer useful?"

Achu lowered her head and remained silent.

But she clearly knew the answer.

Wen Zhiyu leaned in and kissed her furrowed brow, his voice low and gentle:

"You need to change yourself, be tougher, so that they can only look up to you, fawn over you, and coax you, and only get benefits from your charity."

"That way you'll find that they all seem to 'love' you."

He patiently and persuasively tempted her, as if he were enticing an untainted fairy to fall from grace.

A Chu fell into thought because of his words and forgot to get out of Wen Zhiyu's arms.

They remained in that position until the car arrived at the new home that Wen Zhiyu had mentioned.

The newly developed villa area in the south of the city last year has a total of 88 units. Each villa is spaced far apart and surrounded by a lake on three sides, which is enough to protect privacy.

Achu's new home is located in the very center of the community, and it's also the best one.

Almost no one knows that the developer of this residential complex is Wen Zhiyu.

Ah Chu really liked this place; it suited her taste even better than the Wen Family Manor.

Wen Zhiyu could tell she liked it from the bright look in her eyes.

His mood brightened as well.

Upon entering, Wen Zhiyu first introduced the family's servants to A Chu.

"This is Aunt Wang, the housekeeper. Just tell her if you need anything."

"This is Uncle Chen, the driver. Wherever you need to go, just ask Uncle Chen to take you."

"This is Aunt Meng, who is in charge of your three meals a day. Aunt Meng is good at many different cuisines, so you can ask her to cook whatever you want to eat."

"And this is...?"

Everyone Wen Zhiyu introduced greeted A Chu with a smile, and A Chu responded with a smile to each of them.

After recognizing everyone, Wen Zhiyu took Achu to visit his home.

He first led her to her room, the best room in the whole house.

"This is your room. If you don't like the decor, you can have it changed."

Achu shook her head: "I like it very much."

Wen Zhiyu smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

Achu went to the balcony of the bedroom, from where she could see the back garden and the shimmering lake.

A breeze blew in, carrying with it the fragrance of flowers from the garden.

Achu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled.

Wen Zhiyu hugged her from behind.

Achu opened her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, Wen Zhiyu pointed to the opposite side.

"Do you see that house?"

Achu nodded.

She noticed that the houses here were spaced far apart, and with trees blocking the view, they were almost completely out of sight of each other.

However, the villa across the street is only separated from hers by a lake, so it's relatively close.

There's even a bridge to their side that allows for one-way traffic of vehicles.

Wen Zhiyu said to Achu, "I will live there from now on."

Achu turned to look at him in surprise and blurted out, "Don't you live here?"

Wen Zhiyu looked down at her, his eyes full of smiles.

"Would you like me to stay here? Of course, I'd love to."

Achu quickly shook his head.

Wen Zhiyu didn't tease her any further, and said with a smile, "I'll live across the street until you allow me to live here."

"That way, I can get there in time when you need me."

Achu paused for a moment, then her expression softened somewhat.

She lowered her eyes, avoiding looking at Wen Zhiyu.

But Wen Zhiyu could see that A Chu's resistance to him had lessened considerably.

"Come on, I'll show you around."

Wen Zhiyu then led Achu to see the other rooms: "There are still some empty rooms on this floor, you can arrange them as you like."

Achu nodded and began to plan in her mind.

After visiting all the places, Achu was quite tired.

They returned to the living room on the first floor.

After sitting down, Achu looked at Wen Zhiyu and said, "I really like this place."

"Can you sell this place to me?"

Wen Zhiyu did not answer her.

Instead, he picked up two documents from the coffee table and handed them to Achu.

Wen Zhiyu: "Sign it on."

Achu took the document with some confusion and read the first one.

The property gift contract contains information about this villa.

She looked at Wen Zhiyu with some surprise.

"You're planning to give this house to me?"

Wen Zhiyu smiled and nodded: "I think you should feel more at ease living here now that this house is completely yours."

Achu was somewhat at a loss.

"I can't take your house for nothing!"

Wen Zhiyu said, "Consider it compensation for my scheme to get you divorced."

He admitted it quite frankly.

Achu lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while before speaking: "Actually, I've already thought it through."

"Wen Zeyu is not a good match."

"I should thank you for giving me the courage to divorce him."

"Otherwise, I don't know how much longer I would have to live like this."

"He is not the same person as the senior I remember."

The reason why the original owner liked Wen Zeyu so much was that during their school days, Wen Zeyu was a senior who was two years ahead of her.

One day after school, because Ning Jiao was sick and didn't go to school, the driver didn't come to pick her up.

On her way home, she was harassed by thugs, and it was Wen Zeyu who saved her.

He was flamboyant and unrestrained, like a ray of sunlight piercing through the darkness and shining into her world.

Therefore, the original owner was very happy and looking forward to marrying Wen Zeyu.

She never imagined that her married life would be so terrible.
