Please be aware.
Shen Jingxiu’s tone when he said this was icy and ruthless.
However, Xu Jie did not seem to feel uncomfortable about this, or rather, he did not strongly object to it.
He simply nodded: "I understand, I understand everything you're saying."
After choking back tears, Xu Jie looked in Wen Yan's direction again.
"Wen Yan, may I have a word with you?"
"Of course. What do you want to say to me?" Wen Yan turned around and looked directly at Xu Jie.
Looking at the face in front of her, which only showed her eyes and forehead, Wen Yan couldn't connect it with the young, handsome face in the photo that looked so much like her.
Xu Jie roughly understood Wen Yan's gaze. He put his hat back on and sighed.
"I'm completely unrecognizable now. I haven't looked in a mirror for decades, and I don't even remember what I look like anymore. But don't worry, I won't scare you. If you're afraid, I can keep you from seeing myself."
"What I want to tell you is that no matter what the results of your hair test are, you will always be an independent individual, and I respect any decisions you make. I will not affect your life, so please rest assured."
"And it seems your two older brothers have really taken good care of you. I'm so glad, thank you!! Thank you so much!"
At this point, Xu Jie bowed deeply to Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jingxiu exchanged a glance and immediately helped Xu Jie up.
"Please don't do this! We are family with Wen Yan, it's only right that we care for and look after each other, you don't need to thank us."
"I can't thank you enough for such a great kindness, but I really don't have a better way to repay you. Your politeness shows that you are all kind and good people. Actually, I really wanted to thank your parents in person for adopting Wen Yan. But perhaps I don't have the right to do so, and maybe they don't even need to know about my existence. In any case, I respect any decision Wen Yan makes."
Xu Jie's meaning is quite clear.
That is, even if a paternity test proves that he is Wen Yan's biological father, Wen Yan can choose not to acknowledge him, and he will not object to that.
Shen Jingchuan didn't know what Wen Yan thought after hearing this, but he thought it was pretty good.
Actually, so many years have passed, there's really no need for them to acknowledge each other.
If Wen Cheng hadn't pulled that stunt, Wen Yan might never have thought of going to find her father.
Anyway, Shen Jingchuan thought the result was pretty good.
He always spoke his mind: "Uncle Xu, it's best that you think this way. If you have any other difficulties in your life, just let me know, and my brother and I will definitely help you."
"Thank you." Xu Jie shook his head. "I have no difficulties in my life. I was injured at work, and my medical expenses are covered by the government and my former employer. Even though I have left my previous job, I still receive a monthly allowance. Living here is my personal choice."
"I have a house in my hometown, and I could easily live a comfortable life if I wanted. But I have feelings for this place and memories there, which is why I chose to stay. I don't need any subsidies from you. I just hope that my presence won't have any negative impact on Wen Yan's life and career."
"However, I have two more requests."
Xu Jie looked at Wen Yan again.
Wen Yan felt a mix of emotions, completely at a loss as to how to handle this relationship.
They can only answer passively.
"What is your request? Please speak."
"Can I add your contact information? I won't contact you randomly."
“Okay.” Wen Yan suddenly remembered what happened at the police station. “Last time I wanted to save your number, you weren’t happy about it. What’s your phone number? I’ll call you.”
"good."
After Wen Yan took out her phone, Xu Jie immediately gave her his phone number.
After exchanging phone numbers, Xu Jie choked up again and spoke.
"Can you tell me where your mother's grave is? I want to visit her."
"This... to be honest, this question stumps me. I don't know. After I went to my new family, I didn't look for it, since my memories of the time before going to the orphanage are all very vague. But I can look it up, and I'll tell you when I find it. Anyway, I already have your contact information now."
"well."
"Okay. Then I'll return this pocket watch to you for now." Wen Yan reached out and handed the pocket watch to Xu Jie.
Xu Jie carefully took it: "Then I'll see you out. By the way, if Wen Cheng comes back here again, should we notify you?"
“Yes, I need to.” Shen Jingxiu answered Xu Jie’s question. “Could you please save my number again? Wen Yan might not be able to answer the phone sometimes because she’s filming. You can call me directly. Normally, I always have my phone with me.”
The three siblings quickly left the tin shack.
There were two cars in total, and Shen Jingchuan took the initiative to suggest it when he saw that Wen Yan was unhappy.
"You can ride in our car, and your bodyguard can drive your own car back."
Wen Yan nodded.
However, just as Shen Jingchuan was about to open the driver's side door, Shen Jingxiu suddenly stopped him.
"I'll drive. You can stay in the back and keep Wen Yan company."
Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow: "You drove here. Aren't you tired after just getting off the plane?"
"You have a sweet tongue."
"Oh, that's true!" Shen Jingchuan immediately understood and patted Shen Jingxiu on the shoulder. "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."
After saying that, Shen Jingchuan got into the back seat.
