The heavy rain started suddenly. Chen Yuan had been staying at the company gate for a long time. Gu Jisui had important matters to attend to and could not leave, so he could only wait for the rain to stop and leave on his own.
Faced with the events of the past few days, she was already exhausted. Si Yin's misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, and she didn't know how to explain it. The two projects of the Wen family and the Shen family would not be completed for a long time, and it was probably going to be a difficult period.
"Why haven't you left yet? Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Xi Yan drove his car and parked beside her. Chen Yuan was speechless. She ran to the corner of the company gate to avoid the rain because she didn't want to get close to Xi Yan after get off work, but she didn't expect to meet him again.
"No need, Mr. Xi, Gu Jisui will come to pick me up later."
Xi Yan chuckled, "Gu Jisui? He has a big collaboration to discuss this afternoon, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come."
Chen Yuan didn't expect that Xi Yan even knew Gu Jisui's itinerary, and was very embarrassed after being exposed.
"Just get in the car, I'll take you back."
Chen Yuan was still uneasy. "Really, no need. I can go back by myself later. I'll take a taxi."
Xi Yan felt a little helpless, but still insisted, "Just get in the car. It's hard to get a taxi at this time."
Chen Yuan looked at the text message from her mother urging her on the phone. She had to go back to the Wen family for dinner today and could not delay any longer.
I had no choice but to open the passenger door and get in.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Xi."
Xi Yan then smiled with satisfaction and drove away.
Chen Yuan wiped the rain off her forehead in front of the mirror and accidentally saw Si Yin's angry face in the rearview mirror.
"Tsk!" She slapped her forehead. How could she be so unlucky? Now she couldn't wash away her guilt even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
So she quickly took out her cell phone and sent a message to Si Yin to explain, but found that the other party had already blocked her. She sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong?"
"fine!"
How could Chen Yuan dare to talk to him about this matter again? In the end, it would probably only cause more trouble and conflicts.
The black car sped through the rain and soon arrived at the gate of the Wen family villa. The heavy rain was still falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping.
"arrive."
"I'm really sorry to bother you. Please go back quickly and be careful on the road."
Only after seeing her go in did Xi Yan feel at ease and drove away.
As soon as Shen Yuan entered the Wen family's gate, she saw Xie Ninglan staring at her with a look of sarcasm, her eyes full of malice. "Heh, you've already got the Gu family as your support, yet you're still flirting with other men out there, Shen Yuan, it seems like your job is pretty easy."
Chen Yuan looked at her speechlessly. She was just sent back by her boss, so why was she flirting with other women?
"Why are you so dissatisfied with my exposure? Is there anything wrong with what I said? The Wen family thought you were working so hard in the company. Don't let anything go wrong and bring shame to the Wen family."
Chen Yuan originally didn't intend to argue with her, but she was too aggressive. "Don't think everyone is as dirty as you. What? Didn't you take someone else's car back? In the past one or two months since I came back, I've seen you at least once. Auntie, do you need me to help you recall?"
Xie Ninglan's face turned green when she heard this. "Chen Yuan, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. They are all partners of our Wen family who have worked together for many years. They just happened to send me back. If you dare to say anything nonsense later, I'll show you how I will deal with you."
Xie Ninglan never expected that this girl would dare to threaten her elders.
"Since Auntie knows it's a legitimate relationship, why is she speculating about me?"
Xie Ninglan snorted coldly, "Don't compare yourself to me. Your bad reputation outside was ruined by you, so you can't blame others for spreading rumors."
Xie Ninglan didn't want to listen to her anymore, so she turned around and walked inside.
The whole family was waiting for Chen Yuan. When they saw Chen Yuan coming, the atmosphere finally became lively.
“Miss Shen, you’re finally here. I hope you didn’t get wet during this heavy rain this year.
Grandma Wen looked her up and down, and felt relieved when she saw that nothing serious was wrong.
"What big deal could she have? Boss Xi sent her here, and she was so reluctant to leave. People who knew her thought they were just colleagues, and those who didn't thought they were a newlywed couple."
Xie Ninglan said this in a sarcastic tone, isn't this just saying that he's cheating on her?
"Ninglan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Old Madam Wen stared at her seriously, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with what she said.
"Just now when I came back, I happened to run into her. This girl was exposed by me and she even talked back to me. I didn't dare to say anything, but there are some things I have to say. After all, Chen Yuan is entangled with that person from the Gu family, and the Gu family values Chen Yuan so much."
"If this matter gets to the Gu family, who knows how people outside will laugh at our Wen family."
Shen Yuan paused as she picked up the food, put down her chopsticks, and looked at her fiercely, "I've already explained it to my aunt just now. If you insist on distorting the truth and slandering me, I can't do anything about it."
"But I'm also confused. Why is it that just because Auntie got out of someone else's car, it's a legitimate relationship, but I just couldn't get a taxi because it was raining heavily and Gu Jisui happened to be busy and couldn't come, so I asked Mr. Xi to take me. How can that be considered an affair?"
"you……"
Chen Yuan ignored her and continued, "I don't blame you for what Auntie said outside just now. It's just that you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. Mr. Xi and I didn't have anything to do with each other, but Auntie made it sound like she was cheating."
Xie Ninglan slammed her chopsticks onto the table. "Chen Yuan, how did I slander you?"
"Don't let others talk about what you have done."
"Shut up, everyone. This is a family dinner. What's the point of throwing chopsticks and getting in trouble? Ning Lan, you're an elder. Do you need me to teach you the etiquette and rules?"
After Mrs. Wen's reprimand, Xie Ninglan finally calmed down a bit.
"Grandma is right. We finally get together for a meal, so let's not make things unpleasant. It's all just a misunderstanding."
In order to ease the awkwardness, Wen Yu could only pick up food for each of them.
"It seems that my sister-in-law values our Shen Yuan more than me, her biological mother, and she has even thought everything through for her."
Yun Fei looked unhappy, saying that he was meddling in other people's business.
Xie Ninglan naturally understood what she meant. After glaring at her, she didn't dare to say anything more.
Wen Zhi smiled coldly, "I don't know how to keep a distance from the opposite sex. It's all my own fault if others misunderstand me. If I could pay more attention to myself, my reputation wouldn't be so bad.
"Wen Zhi, are you done yet? It's a family dinner now. How do I teach you normally?" Yun Fei scolded.
