making things difficult

"Father, you wanted to see me?"

When Wen Xubai came downstairs, he saw Wen Tingyi reading a newspaper in the living room. Behind him stood Wen Xushi.

Wen Xushi nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Wen Xubai nodded in response.

"Um······"

Wen Tingyi slowly handed out the newspaper and tossed it to the person behind him. Wen Xushi quickly took it and placed it on the table beside him.

"Why do you look so pale?" Wen Tingyi frowned as he looked at Wen Xubai.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xubai paused for a moment, then, recalling what had just happened, quickly composed himself and said calmly, "My stomach suddenly started hurting badly just now. I probably ate something bad. Father, don't worry."

"Treat your illness as soon as possible. You'll only understand when you reach my age that health is the foundation of everything."

Wen Tingyi tapped him with the hand wearing the jade thumb ring.

"Yes, I understand, Father." Wen Xubai lowered his head even further.

"Our Wen family's charity gala is in a few days. You'd better get yourself in good shape so you don't embarrass the Wen family at the gala."

"Don't worry, your son will definitely not bring shame to the Wen family." Wen Xubai's hand trembled almost imperceptibly.

"Xiao Shi, you too, there will be a lot of media there, so you must present your best self!"

"Yes, Father, I will certainly not let you down." Wen Xushi also bowed slightly.

"Hmm..." Wen Tingyi nodded in satisfaction.

Wen Tingyi's sharp, languid gaze swept over the group, but his brows suddenly furrowed.

He asked in a deep voice, "Where's Xiao Yi? Why didn't he come down?"

As she spoke, she looked at the servant who had just been sent to fetch Wen Xuyi.

Aunt Yu quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, I just went to the fourth young master's room, he's not here..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tingyi's brows furrowed suddenly, and he slammed his cane on the ground!

The heavy voice startled everyone present.

Wen Tingyi angrily said, "That brat! Where has he gone off to party again? He does nothing but loaf around all day! He's hanging out with his bunch of cronies! He's made me lose all face!"

"Father, please calm down, don't upset yourself," Wen Xushi quickly advised. "As for Xiao Yi... I'll go find him."

Just as Wen Xushi was about to lift his foot, he was stopped by Wen Tingyi's sigh.

Wen Tingyi sighed, "Alas, my son... If he were even half as sensible as you and Xiaobai, I could close my eyes in peace!"

Wen Xushi was startled and quickly said, "What are you saying? Father, you are in good health and will surely live to be a hundred!"

Wen Xubai understood the meaning behind his words and realized that Wen Tingyi had something to say to Wen Xushi, so he respectfully replied, "Father, I'll go. Second Brother, you stay at home and keep Father company."

"this······"

Wen Xushi wanted to say something more, but seeing that Wen Tingyi had already nodded, he stopped talking.

Wen Xubai was already used to such scenes. He casually pointed to a few people, then bowed respectfully to Wen Tingyi before conveniently walking to the parking lot.

Then, they drove smoothly to the bar where Wen Xuyi was.

As soon as I got out of the car, the two red-glowing words "Bewilderment" on the bar immediately caught my eye.

Wen Tingyi was unwilling to let Wen Xushi come, simply because, on the surface, Wen Xushi was, after all, the son of the First Madam, and if the media photographed him, it would damage his reputation.

Wen Xubai sighed softly.

It doesn't matter, anyway... it's not the first time he's done something like this.

So, skillfully weaving through the chaotic crowd in the dance hall, enduring the tremors of the music and cheers, Wen Xubai made his way to the door of the VIP box on the second floor.

Wen Xubai pressed the handle.

The door is locked and cannot be pressed.

Seeing the letters "SVIP" written on it, Wen Xubai sneered, gave a wink to the men who had followed him, and kicked the door open!

The laughter inside the room abruptly stopped. The men and women in the private room looked at each other, all staring blankly at the "uninvited guest" at the door.

Wen Xuyi, who was sitting in the very center, embracing two beautiful women on either side and whispering sweet nothings to them, was also momentarily stunned.

Only the deafening music inside the private room continued.

Wen Xubai frowned, and his subordinate immediately understood and rushed in to turn off the music.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone finally realized what was happening.

Whispers instantly filled the entire private room.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Xuyi finally realized what was going on, and his raised eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.

As he spoke, he jumped up from the sofa and kicked the subordinate who had just turned off the music, yelling, "Who told you to turn off the music? Get out!"

The man was kicked, but dared not utter a word of anger. He watched helplessly as Wen Xuyi turned the music back on, the heart-wrenching sound filling his ears once more. He could only cautiously glance at Wen Xubai at the door.

"What are you standing there for? Ignore him and keep playing!" Wen Xuyi shouted, turning the music up to the maximum volume.

The others exchanged glances, then looked at Wen Xubai standing by the door, but still dared not make a move. Even the two beautiful women beside him couldn't help but shrink back to the side.

"What are you looking at! Go play!"

As he spoke, Wen Xuyi suddenly jumped back to his seat, grabbed the waist of the beautiful woman on his left, and then threw the dice onto the table with his right hand, revealing "a three and a one".

"Tsk!" Wen Xuyi irritably pulled out a handful of his hair.

Only then did the crowd slowly begin to move.

Wen Xubai simply watched indifferently until Wen Xuyi was about to pour more wine, at which point he slowly walked up to him.

He said, word by word, "Are you coming with me yourself, or do I have to 'invite' you away?"

Wen Xuyi rolled his eyes and said, word by word, "I'm not leaving!"

"Get lost! Don't ruin my fun! Just looking at you annoys me!"

His brother next to him glanced at him, then at Wen Xubai in front of him.

Her pale skin appeared exceptionally radiant in the mixed red and blue lights, and her delicate, three-dimensional features made her look like a mixed-race person, even more beautiful than the male prostitutes in the bar.

He then gave the person next to him a wicked grin and whispered sarcastically, "What? Caught cheating by your new love interest? Pretty good-looking, huh? If you ask me... just not very classy..."

A sinister laugh instantly echoed throughout the private room.

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Xuyi rolled his eyes at him and yelled, "What the hell are you talking about?! Would I ever be interested in him?!"

As he spoke, Wen Xuyi glared at Wen Xubai and said, word by word, "I wouldn't even want this kind of trash if he were given to me to play with!"

His intention was to humiliate Wen Xubai, but seeing that Wen Xubai remained indifferent and seemed not to care at all, his already annoyed heart was filled with an inexplicable anger.

Just as he was about to utter a few more sarcastic remarks, he saw Wen Xubai's thin lips part slightly, and he calmly uttered two words:

"take away."

"Hey, let me go! Damn it, get out of my way!" Wen Xuyi shouted frantically, his anger rising as he watched the several tall, burly bodyguards rushing towards him.

But how could a pampered young master like him be a match for a well-trained bodyguard?

Those around him were used to Wen Xuyi's arrogant and domineering manner, and this was the first time they had seen him "frustrated" like this. They were terrified, and the few people who had originally wanted to go up and stop him instantly stopped moving.

"Get out of here! Do you even know who I am?! You've offended me, do you think you can afford the consequences?! I order you to let go! Let go!!!"

After struggling for a while without breaking free, Wen Xuyi's face turned red with anger, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with fury. But those people seemed not to hear him, their strength not diminishing at all, so they had no choice but to turn their attention to Wen Xubai, who was "watching the show" from the side.

"Wen Xubai! Tell them to let me go! What right do you have to tell me what to do?! I am the real young master of the Wen family!"

"Did you hear that! I'm the real young master of the Wen family! He's just a piece of trash, a bastard! You've offended me, aren't you afraid I'll have my dad kick you all out?!"

Those people seemed to be somewhat persuaded, and their grip loosened for a moment.

Wen Xuyi seized the opportunity, forcefully swung away the hand of the person behind him, quickly picked up the wine glass on the table, and splashed it directly at Wen Xubai's face!

Caught off guard, and with Wen Xuyi's gang of cronies right next to him, Wen Xubai had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to swallow the "cold wine" that was thrown at him.

Wen Xubai: "·······"

My hair and collar were instantly soaked, sticky and clinging to my face and body, mixed with a pungent smell of alcohol.

Wen Xubai took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Xuyi raising his wine glass high, as if he wanted to smash it over his head!

His eyes narrowed instantly, and he was already prepared to kick the person away.

At the critical moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing the wrist of the person in front of him.

He roared, "Just because you have a little money doesn't mean you're superior! You boss people around, yelling and cursing at them! I've seen plenty of people like you!"

The familiar voice exploded in his ears, and Wen Xubai's mind went blank for a moment.

Wen Xuyi stared at the person in front of him in shock, struggled to free his hands, and said incredulously, "What the hell are you?! What business is it of yours if I hit him?!"

As he spoke, he tried to pull his hand away again, but couldn't break free. He instantly flew into a rage:

"Get out of here! Did you hear me?! I said let me go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Qi Zui sneered, his grip tightening instead of loosening. "Fine, then I'd like to see how you're going to treat me rudely."

"What does this have to do with me?" Qi Zui glanced at Wen Xubai, then turned back to Wen Xuyi, glaring angrily. "But you beat someone up in public for no reason. I can't stand by and watch. I'm going to take care of this!"

"You!" Wen Xuyi was stunned for a moment, staring at the man in front of him who was a full head taller than him, and his scalp tingled involuntarily.

Not to be outdone, Wen Xuyi turned his anger towards the bodyguards he had just shoved aside and shouted, "Are you all dead? Just standing there like idiots?! Come and help us!"
