Chapter 223



"Then don't worry about that. Just focus on what you need to do. Could you check if your older brother is available to answer the phone right now? Is the line busy?"

Wen Yan leaned over and looked at the driver's seat: "The line is busy, but my brother isn't answering. Do you want to call him now?"

"Yes. I've been abroad for a while and haven't talked to him about the Fu family. He's also on a business trip abroad right now. The Fu family seems to be getting arrogant and is going too far. I have to have a good talk with your older brother."

"Well..." "You don't need to worry about the rest. Like I said, the less you know about this, the better. Didn't I tell you, I will never let anyone bully my good friend?"

"Okay! I'll treat you to something delicious when you come back." Wen Yan then looked at Shen Jingxiu, "Big brother, Wanwan said she wants to call you."

"Okay, then hang up."

Shen Jingxiu quickly put on his headphones and soon received a call from Jiang Wanwan.

They were talking about the Shen family, the Jiang family, and the Fu family. Wen Yan wasn't interested and didn't want to listen, so she simply took out her phone and sent a message to Aunt Zhang at home.

Therefore, when Wen Yan and the others arrived home, the meal had already been prepared.

After a long and tiring journey, Wen Yan returned to her room to rest after a good meal.

The two brothers, Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan, plunged into the study.

That night, Wen Yan slept very soundly.

She woke up at around 10 a.m. the next day.

When she got dressed and went downstairs to find something to eat, she discovered that Shen Jingxiu was actually at home.

She only realized it was Saturday when she looked at the date on her phone, meaning she didn't have to work.

Good morning, brother. Have you eaten yet?

Shen Jingxiu had seen Wen Yan come down a while ago, but he had been dealing with messages on his phone and only had time to do so now.

He glanced at Wen Yan: "I've already eaten. How was your sleep last night?"

“Okay,” Wen Yan nodded, “I slept for more than ten hours, it couldn’t be better. How about you, big brother?”

"I'm fine too."

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow: "[He acts like I'm blind. I even have dark circles under his eyes. I doubt he gets seven hours of sleep a night.]"

Upon suddenly hearing Wen Yan's thoughts, Shen Jingxiu was taken aback.

Because it feels like I haven't heard that sound in a long time.

"Please have a seat. I'll have Aunt Zhang bring you breakfast."

"No need, no need! You've already eaten, and I'm too lazy to go to the restaurant by myself. I'll just go to the kitchen. Would you like me to bring you a glass of juice?"

Hmm, a mixed fruit juice with carrot juice would be best, as it's gentler on the eyes for people who often work late into the night.

Shen Jingxiu had originally intended to politely decline, but after hearing Wen Yan's heartfelt words, he changed his mind.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"I'll get you whatever you need. You don't pick and choose juice, do you?"

"I'm not picky."

The juice was all freshly squeezed. After Wen Yan finished eating two spring rolls and a small basket of crab roe buns, the juice was ready.

The two then sat on the sofa, drinking juice and talking.

"By the way, did Fourth Brother go out?"

"Well, he has some things to take care of. What's up? Is there something you need from him?"

"No." Wen Yan shook her head. "I just wanted to ask. I had no idea when he left; he was sleeping too soundly."

"Filming this new movie must be very tough, right?"

"It wasn't easy, but it was still very interesting. Overall, I think it was worth it, and it would be even better if the movie achieved the expected results when it was released."

"Definitely. By the way, is filming this movie intense? Did you ask the crew for a few days off this time?"

“The director knew my situation was special, and he gave me a week off, but I don’t think I really need such a long vacation.”

Shen Jingxiu nodded: "So, are you planning to go back to the film crew next?"

“No, that’s not it.” Wen Yan took a sip of her juice. “Didn’t I promise yesterday that I would go and look for my birth mother’s grave? While I have some time, I should take care of it first. Even if it’s just for my own sake, I should go and check it out.”

"Then leave it to me."

Wen Yan chuckled, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Big brother, you have so many social resources, investigating this kind of thing is definitely easier for you than for me. Wait for me a moment, I'll go back to my room to get the documents."

As she spoke, Wen Yan put down the cup in her hand, looking as if she was about to get up immediately.

Seeing her in such a hurry, Shen Jingxiu quickly said, "You don't need to rush. Just take the documents and go straight to my study. I'll be waiting for you there."

"Okay, I'll go back to my room now."

A few minutes later, Wen Yan knocked on the door of Shen Jingxiu's study with a file folder in her hand.

"Come in," Shen Jingxiu said, looking at her. "You don't need to be so polite when you come into my study in the future."

"That won't do! The study is an important place!"

"Please come in and have a seat."

As Shen Jingxiu spoke, he sat down on the sofa first.

Wen Yan then sat down opposite him.

Just as Wen Yan was about to open the file bag in her hand, she saw two glasses of juice on the coffee table.

One of the cups still had a trace of lip balm on it.

"Is this the juice I just drank?"

Shen Jingxiu hummed in agreement: "I noticed you seemed to like this flavor, so I brought it up as well. The one in front of you is the one you drank earlier."

“I can see that, thank you, brother, you’re so thoughtful. But I’ll drink later. I specifically asked Dad for this file after I exposed the imposter Zhi Rou. At that time, because of the imposter Zhi Rou incident, I suddenly wanted to know more about my past, so I talked to Dad about it. But unfortunately, all I have about my past is this thin piece of paper and a photo of me as a baby.”
