Wen Xin and her best friend had a falling out, turning from close companions to bitter enemies. In an act of revenge, her former best friend wrote her into a cliché-filled period novel as a tragic...
Not long after, the sound of a jeep was heard outside, and He Wenyan quickly went out to greet it. Outside the window, He Wenyan was talking to the orderly who was driving the car. The other party was obviously very tactful and did not want to disturb the commander's family, so he saluted politely and left.
Unlike He Wenyan who usually has a serious face, when she faces the protagonist's father, Yan Weiguo, she has a slightly shy smile like a newlywed on her face. In the book, she had been married for less than a year, and after Yan Weiguo resumed his position, he was very busy with work, so they probably did not spend much time together.
When she came in, she followed him and talked to him diligently. On the other hand, Yan Weiguo looked normal, even a little cold.
Yan Weiguo has a decent appearance and a very steady and dignified temperament. Although he is not as enchanting as his son, he was definitely a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes when he was young. However, from this point of view, the male protagonist's face is inlaid with impeccable facial features and a graceful demeanor, probably more like his mother. This can also vaguely guess that Yan Weiguo's first wife should be an extremely beautiful woman.
When He Wenyan introduced Wen Xin, Yan Weiguo did not give her any displeasure because of what happened in the Wen family. He did not even show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he gently asked a few words about her studies and life. The understanding and magnanimity of a superior was truly impressive.
When she turned around, He Wenyan winked at her, asking her to quickly bring the food over. She then stepped forward and considerately helped Yan Weiguo take off his military uniform.
Wen Xin put the prepared food on a plate and brought it to the dining table in the hall. At this time, people had just recovered from the disaster. They had food to eat and were full and well-fed. It was good enough if the food was a little more varied. Who cared whether it looked good or not?
But Wen Xin is a modern person. No matter what he eats, he requires good color, aroma and taste, so he naturally wants the dish to be more beautiful.
In the book, He Wenyan's requests are indeed a bit too much for an ordinary nanny, as she is just a nanny, not a chef.
But it was okay for Wen Xin. In today's era of information explosion, it can be said that everyone is a health master. Because she has a system, it is very convenient for her to extract food materials. In addition, she is a student of an art school and usually pays attention to her figure, facial care, and nutritious meals. Therefore, He Wenyan's requirements, at least for her, are still easy to meet.
Wen Xin placed the fish head pot in the middle of the dining table, a small dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, a family stew, a small dessert of cat ears from Yan Miaomiao, and two green leafy vegetables. When mixing, she added the freshest sea salt extracted from the sea. Each grain was as pure as a diamond and was very delicious when put into the soup. Sometimes Wen Xin would also add sea salt to mountain spring water, and directly soak the mask paper in it and apply it on her face. Her face felt very comfortable after applying it, which was better than many hydrating masks.
She tucked the sweaty hair on her forehead and just as she put two vegetables on a plate and was about to take them out, she heard loud voices coming from the living room.
"...Comrade Yan Zeyang, don't use your methods in the wrong place. You should consider the overall situation when doing things, and not always put personal grudges first!" I don't know what he said before, but Yan Weiguo slammed the table and actually called his son comrade, which shows that he was angry.
Yan Zeyang came down at some point and sat opposite him, his back straight, his expression cold and aloof.
"You two shouldn't quarrel every time you meet. It's not easy for you to get together, come sit down and have a meal, it's warm and cozy!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, He Wenyan gave some advice and shouted towards the kitchen.
If she leaves in this atmosphere, wouldn't that be like being stabbed in the back? Using her as a plug for the bullet, Wen Xin responded reluctantly. After hesitating for a while, she still had to take the things out.
"...You can live in peace with your enemies and their followers, but I can't do that. I won't live in peace with them unless I shoot them dead."
"Nonsense! Your idea is very dangerous! I won't force you to live with me, but you can't do anything behind my back. You have a very serious ideological problem!" Yan Weiguo said to his only son with a serious face.
"I'm just repaying them double for what they did to us. You can lose your wife and remarry, but I can't forget how my mother died!"
"you……"
Wen Xin just walked over and Yan Weiguo didn't finish his words. The atmosphere was very cold and even He Wenyan didn't dare to say a word. If the original wife was still alive, perhaps she could ease the tense atmosphere between the two of them. After all, one was his beloved wife and the other was his biological mother. This woman would be the best lubricant between the two of them and could just say something to ease the tension.
But He Wenyan couldn't do it. She was a necessary wife for Yan Weiguo to re-enter politics. To another person, she was just a second-married woman who took advantage of the opportunity to get close to his father.
He Wenyan is very clear about her position, and Wen Xin has watched a lot of dramas when she was in art school. She can more or less tell the anger points and embarrassment levels of several people.
This is the arrogant son, who has been doing things to harm others openly and secretly, but the truth cannot be hidden. His father found out. Yan Weiguo is a man who regards the country as his home, so he will naturally consider the overall situation when doing things. After all, political things are not simple matters. The interests involved are much more complicated, and one move can affect the entire body.
One is seeking revenge for his mother and is disgusted with his father's remarriage, and he does not think he has done anything wrong. The other is worried that he will lose his way and cannot return. He has a rebellious character and radical ideas.
Wen Xin thought about the final outcome of the book. The protagonist's father eventually achieved XX position. Probably as long as the protagonist doesn't turn things around, it shouldn't be a big deal to deal with a few minor enemies.
And she also felt that Yan Weiguo was not without hatred, but he just didn't want to lose the big picture for the small, so he suppressed it in his heart. His son treated him like this, so he might be unhappy. In the end, he suppressed the matter, and the big thing became small, and it was still him who made the small thing disappear.
Wen Xin carefully placed the plate on the table.
Yan Weiguo had regained his composure by this time. He nodded to Wen Xin and said in a gentle tone, "The food is very rich. Comrade Xiao Wen, you have worked hard. Sit up and eat with us."
Wen Xin was about to speak.
The man opposite him pursed his lips tightly, stood up, and cast a dark and sharp gaze on He Wenyan like a sharp blade. He glanced at her and said softly, "At the Yan family's dining table, all kinds of cats and dogs can sit on it. It's better not to eat this kind of meal!"
Wen Xin was really shocked and didn't understand why the quarrel would eventually lead to her? Although her parents, who played the supporting female role, were also sorry to those people in the Yan family, she was innocent.
At this critical juncture, Wen Xin didn't want to be angered by him, so she quickly said, "No need, Uncle Yan, there are still some things to clean up in the kitchen, I'll go do it first." After saying that, she immediately walked away.
"Sit down! Eat first, and then come to my study after you finish eating!" After Yan Weiguo gave the order, he picked up the bowl. The matter came to an end and was no longer mentioned at the dinner table.
…
Wen Xin came to the kitchen and put things in order. She felt that she had come here for no reason. Unhappily, she took the bowl and scooped out half a bowl of rice, then made some soup. Then, she pouted her face and kept poking the bottom of the bowl with the spoon. After coming to this world, she had nowhere to go, no money, no ticket, and no letter of proof. What should she do?
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't want to go back to the Wen family.
After thinking it over, I decided to "bear the humiliation" for the time being and see if I can find a way to get some money and then settle the letter of certification. By then, even if you beg me for help, I will not serve you!
Thinking of this, I finally felt a little relieved. I put a mouthful of rice into my mouth and chewed it fragrantly. I poured a glass of water from the system and dropped two drops of natural fruit oil into it. It tasted full of fruity flavor, much more fragrant than fruit juice, but not too sweet.
Given the atmosphere just now, He Wenyan did not call Yan Miaomiao out. When they sat down to eat, Yan Miaomiao climbed onto the table.
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, there was no food left over. When Wen Xin cleared the plates, the bottoms were all empty.
Especially the one who said she was a cat or a dog while sweeping away everything in his path, not even sparing the remaining cat ears of Yan Miaomiao.
Just as I curled my lips, I heard the sound of a door slamming in the study.
…
By the time she had cleaned up and returned to her room to make the bedding, it was already past nine. Yan Weiguo and Liu Wenyan had already washed up and returned to their room to rest, so she went to the bathroom.
In this day and age, it is good to have your own bathroom indoors, as most people go to public toilets, but bathing is not an option. After Wen Xin washed her hair, if she wanted to take a shower, she could only boil water herself, adjust the temperature, and then use something to scoop it up and slowly pour it over her body.
It's really all manual.
After going back and forth, she finally managed to take a shower, and used essential oils to maintain her skin all over her body, and massaged her delicate parts and face. Then she put on the pajamas she brought in her suitcase, wrapped herself in a piece of clothing, and tiptoed out of the bathroom with her wet long hair, preparing to go back to her room. Just as she was about to turn off the lights, she heard someone coming down the stairs.
Yan Zeyang went downstairs to drink water, and when he looked up, he saw a person standing in the living room. He didn't know what skirt she was wearing, but her snow-white calves were exposed. It seemed that she had just taken a shower, and her hair was draped behind her. Because it was wet, her hair looked darker and shinier, and her face looked even whiter than cream. Her skin was so tender as if it was full of water, and had a warm and refreshing luster. Her lips were also pink. Before the person approached, a very fragrant smell came to his face, and the more he smelled it, the more restless he became.
He frowned impatiently.
Wen Xin thought, you are impatient, but I don’t want to pay attention to you, so she just pretended she didn’t see it, turned her face away, turned off the light, and prepared to go back to her room without saying a word.
Although this man is her favorite in terms of looks, she can't stand his hatred-like gaze and disdain in it. Even if Wen Xin's face is frozen with a smile, she can't change anything.
In this case, she is not willing to rush to offer her life. Even though she has worked in the service industry for a long time and is knowledgeable and tolerant of picky customers, she is not a person without self-esteem.
But she didn't want to pay attention to him, and the other party stopped her instead.
She looked up and smiled hypocritically and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Where are my clothes?" Yan Zeyang squinted at her.
Wen Xin opened her mouth. She didn't expect that the other party actually recognized her.
I left the clothes at Wen's house and forgot to bring them back...
But when she mentioned this, she also remembered that this person seemed to have saved her life, and she still hadn't thanked him. Thinking about it now, she felt a little insecure, and her attitude naturally softened as she said guiltily, "That..."
Before she could finish, he interrupted her and said, "From now on, I will get up at four o'clock every morning, do morning exercises for half an hour, and come back to have breakfast."
"Ah?" Wen Xin didn't understand for a moment. What did it mean?
"I want to see breakfast at 4:30." He crossed his arms and looked down at her. His face did not have the fierce look that he had at the dinner table. His voice was a little hoarse and magnetic at night, but his tone was impolite and commanding.
"Can't do it?"
I saw her slightly parted red lips, looking at me with an expression of disbelief.
He said coldly: "If you can't do it, pack up and leave. The Yan family doesn't need a useless nanny." After saying that, he walked around her with his long legs indifferently, poured a glass of water and turned to go upstairs.
Wen Xin: “…”
