Wen Yi listened to the other party's loud laughter but made no move and just stood there.
Make your stance clear.
Either you come out, or we'll just stay like this.
However, Wen Yi didn't just stand there like a big, clumsy guy. Instead, he walked over to the sofa next to him and sat down.
She casually crossed her legs and stared at the half-open door.
The other party seems to be planning a protracted war with Wen Yi, and shows no signs of coming out.
Wen Yi wasn't in a hurry. He didn't utter a single word and just sat there, his face showing little expression.
After about five or six minutes, Wen Yi finally said, "Do you know Second Master?"
"Oh?" the person inside the room responded.
"Master Gu is an extremely possessive person. He will protect everything he owns. Simply put, as his wife, I would rather die at his hands than let myself die outside."
"Especially in the hands of what appears to be a wild man."
The last sentence is somewhat meaningful.
It was also a reminder to the people in the room that in Haicheng, Master Gu of Yutingyuan was no ordinary person.
Given the lengths the other party went to bring Wen Yi here, which took more than five or six hours, it's impossible that Master Gu didn't know.
And given Master Gu's abilities, he'll be coming to us soon, and then things might get complicated.
Less than a minute after Wen Yi finished speaking, loud laughter came from inside the room again.
This time, however, the laughter was short and a bit awkward.
"It seems that the Second Madam and the Second Master have a very good relationship, as she knows the Second Master so well."
As the other person's voice rang out, Wen Yi heard the sound of a wheelchair turning in the room, and then saw the half-closed door being opened.
The man in the wheelchair maneuvered it out.
The man was very handsome and refined.
But his eyes held a shrewdness hidden beneath his refined demeanor, like a sophisticated fox whose outward appearance was beautiful but whose inner workings were full of calculation.
“I thought Mr. Zhan didn’t intend to see me,” Wen Yi said sarcastically.
Wen Yi had already recognized the voice as belonging to the Mr. Zhan family when they were in the living room.
Perhaps it was because the voice was so distinctive, or perhaps Wen Yi was wary of Mr. Zhan from the beginning, that she was able to remember his voice.
"How could that be?" Mr. Zhan moved his wheelchair to Wen Yi's side.
Glancing at the empty coffee table, Mr. Zhan said with slight dissatisfaction, "These people don't even know how to entertain their guests."
“They treated me well,” Wen Yi said, then pointed to the back of his head, “They slapped me. I’ll never forget that treatment.”
Mr. Zhan gave an awkward laugh. "I've found that the second wife is a humorous and witty person who loves to joke around."
"Does Mr. Zhan think I'm joking or making a fuss?" Wen asked back.
She knew that Mr. Zhan had been trying to save face and get through today's incident simply.
It can be warmed, but not.
From the moment this Mr. Zhan, disguised as a policeman, knocked on the hotel room door with ulterior motives, he had no intention of treating Wen Yi well.
Wen Yi even wondered if something might have happened in the middle of the journey that made him able to sit here unharmed.
Mr. Zhan never intended to sit down and talk to Wen Yi face-to-face from the beginning.
"I'll have someone pour Miss Wen a cup of tea."
“It’s Miss Wen now, not the Second Madam?” Wen Yi found a loophole.
She never publicly revealed that she was the second wife of the Imperial Garden.
Even when Master Gu's men stood up for Wen Yi, they still addressed her as Miss Wen Yi.
But Mr. Zhan immediately referred to his second wife, which means he knew everything.
He's definitely a cunning old fox.
Mr. Zhan wasn't in a hurry to say anything; he just stared at Wen Yi with unfathomable eyes, seemingly plotting something.
Wen Yi met his gaze rationally. "Now that we're seated here, Mr. Zhan, you can get straight to the point."
Mr. Zhan continued to stare at Wen Yi. "Miss Wen, I really don't know what you're talking about?"
"Do I need to remind you again? It's been less than an hour since Second Master arrived. Do you believe that, Mr. Zhan?"
Mr. Zhan did not respond.
He naturally believed it.
With Master Gu's abilities, even an hour is considered late.
“If I were Mr. Zhan, I wouldn’t be foolish enough to waste my time here. Now that we’ve come this far, we might as well be direct, get straight to the point, and state our purpose.”
Mr. Zhan placed his hands on his thighs and waited for almost a minute before saying, "My purpose is not complicated."
"Um?"
"I want you to make it clear to Second Master Gu that you're inviting me to stay at the Royal Garden."
Wen frowned. "Mr. Zhan, do you mean you want to move into the Royal Garden?"
"right."
"You and Second Master Gu seem to have a good relationship, you can go directly..."
“No, this matter must go through you.” Mr. Zhan stared at Wen Yi, his attitude clear. “Only if you speak on my behalf can this matter be considered complete.”
What if I don't?
“Master Gu has one hour left. During that time, I can kill Miss Wen at any time,” Mr. Zhan said calmly.
The words spoken carried the threat and warning of death.
“Miss Wen is a smart woman and should be able to see the situation clearly. If I want to take your life now, my men can take care of it with just one bullet.”
"Aren't you afraid that Master Gu will settle scores with you later?"
"If Miss Wen disagrees now, and Master Gu comes knocking on our door, do you think he will let me go? Or is Miss Wen suggesting that if I release you now, Master Gu will not pursue this matter?"
Wen Yi remained silent.
The old fox is indeed an old fox; he has blocked all of Wen Yi's paths.
“From the moment Master Gu locked onto this place, he already knew everything I had done to you. Letting you go back would be the same dead end for me.”
"Even if I agree, are you sure it won't still lead to your death?" Wen Yi stared at the other party and asked, "How can you be sure that I can persuade Master Gu to let you go and let you move into the Royal Garden?"
"This is Miss Wen's matter."
"Aren't you afraid that if you let me go now, I'll run away immediately and leave you to your fate?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't care if I die. Before I die, I'll drag the Wen family down with me," Mr. Zhan said casually.
Wen smiled and said, "That's perfect, I couldn't be happier."
"Is that so?" Mr. Zhan pressed Wen Yi directly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Clearly, they gambled on something and figured out some things.
Wen agreed in a moment.
This is the message conveyed in Mr. Zhan's confident gaze.
Wen lowered her eyes and made a decision in less than a minute.
This decision was extremely bold and beyond Wen Yi's control, but she didn't give herself any extra time to think before making it.
Wen Yi clenched her fist, looked up at Mr. Zhan again, and stated her decision...
