Chapter 9 Homecoming

When Wen Yan returned to the hall, he happened to see Shen Qi looking for him.

"Are you okay? Where have you been? Why haven't you been here for so long?"

"Don't worry, I just talked to Qi Yu'an about something outside."

"What does he mean? Wasn't everything fine before? Why is there such a big party today? Could it be that he has some idea about you again?"

"I heard from him that he found out something, saying that what happened back then was staged by Xiao Zhiyuan himself, and he said he wanted to compensate me. Maybe he felt guilty today."

"Why do I not believe it? I say, you have to be sober, don't let the sugar-coated bullets make you dizzy. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today."

Looking at Shen Qi's alert expression, Wen Yan felt warm in her heart.

"Don't worry, Brother Qi. I can't fall into the same trap twice."

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm afraid you might get confused for a moment."

Seeing Wen Yan's indifferent attitude towards Qi Yu'an, Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that she is sober. He was really afraid that this silly child would repeat the same mistake.

"I don't plan to renew my contract when it expires. I'm telling you first, are you willing to go with me to the new company when the time comes?"

Wen Yan was planning to take Shen Qi with him. Over the years, Shen Qi had been following him diligently and responsibly, using the connections he had accumulated in the industry over the years to pave the way for him and giving him family-like care, encouragement and companionship.

He knew that if Shen Qi had not stayed by his side firmly back then, he might not have been able to hold on until now, so he really hoped that Shen Qi could continue to guide him.

However, Shen Qi's current position and treatment in the company are top-notch, and he is afraid that the new company's treatment will not be as good as the current one, which will make Shen Qi feel wronged. As a person, you can't repay kindness with enmity.

Shen Qi looked at Wen Yan's nervous expression, as if she was waiting for some important notification, and couldn't help but smile.

"What are you thinking? Of course I'm with you. I've raised you and I can make money from you. Do you still want to break up with me? That won't work. Brother Qi didn't teach you to do things this way."

"Brother Qi, you know that's not what I meant."

Hearing Shen Qi joking with her, Wen Yan also laughed.

"Okay, silly boy, there's nothing for us to do now. I'll take you back to rest. You've been so busy these past few days. It's really tiring."

"Come on, Brother Qi, you can stay at my place tonight, so you don't have to go back and spend a lot of time cleaning up."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do when I get home, so it doesn't matter where I sleep."

The two of them walked out while talking, not noticing the two figures standing in the shadows.

"Mr. Qi, it's time for us to go to the hospital."

Xu Huaishu dutifully reminded a boss who had just vomited blood but was still stubbornly eavesdropping.

Qi Yu'an acted as if he didn't hear anything. He didn't understand why even Shen Qi didn't want Wen Yan to come back to him.

Shen Qi joined the company right after graduation. He was personally coached by him for a while, and he was also the one who arranged for him to be with Wen Yan.

He thought that at least Shen Qi would say a few good words for him.

However, even Shen Qi had no intention of helping himself.

"I was really mean to Wen Yan before, wasn't I?"

Qi Yu'an turned to look at his assistant, his eyes actually showing some expectation, hoping that he would tell him a negative answer.

But Xu Huaishu didn't care so much. However, considering that this man was his boss, he still spoke more tactfully.

"Maybe."

Xu Huaishu had a blank expression on his face, and even seemed to want to roll his eyes.

If he hadn't followed his boss for many years and knew that his vision was just a little poor but everything else was good, he would have been too lazy to answer.

Instead of wanting someone as sincere and simple as Wen Yan, she indulges someone like Xiao Zhiyuan who is obviously scheming. Is she crazy?

"Haha, it turns out that I owe him so much."

Qi Yu'an looked blankly at the door where no one was, not knowing what to do.

"Let's go to the hospital." Qi Yu'an spoke.

Seeing that this stubborn guy was finally willing to go to the hospital, Xu Huaishu quickly drove out and rushed to the hospital with his people.

"Huai Shu, if I had been a little nicer to him then, would he not be so determined to not want me today?"

When Qi Yu'an spoke, Xu Huaishu was surprised. He glanced behind him through the mirror and found that Qi Yu'an looked depressed, with a frown on his face, and he kept looking out the window.

Xu Huaishu couldn't bear to provoke him any further.

"Perhaps Master Wen didn't think you were not good enough to him, but when things really got into trouble, you chose Mr. Xiao."

Xu Huaishu didn't say anything too harsh, but one could tell from his tone that he was actually feeling indignant for Wen Yanming.

Qi Yu'an stopped talking. He quietly looked at the colorful neon lights flying past outside the window. He had an inexplicable look on his face and no one knew what he was thinking.

Wen Yan and Shen Qi soon arrived at Yufu Huating. This was the house that Wen Yan bought last year. It was not big, only about 200 square meters, but it was enough for him to live in. He bought it and renovated it, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Wen Yan liked it very much. Since her mother fell ill and she was still in school at that time, the family savings soon ran out, so they sold the old house where she had lived since she was a child.

The house was in a hurry to sell and was old, so the final transaction amount was not high.

At that time, I had not met Qi Yu'an, and I had no channels to access top medical resources, so I managed to hold out for a few years to pay off the house sale.

When Wen Yan was discovered by a scout, she was worried about money because she only had a few hundred thousand dollars left, and the medicine she usually bought cost tens of thousands a bottle, so she couldn't last long.

Now I am an adult and have been admitted to university. The university courses are not as few as the teacher said, but there is much more time than in high school, and they can attend evening self-study on their own initiative.

Wen Yan was thinking about finding a job. There were many part-time jobs suitable for college students, but it was hard to find one with high salary.

In fact, considering Wen Yan's appearance, it is not difficult for him to find a part-time job with higher salary. The main reason is that he also has to take time to go to the hospital to take care of his mother, and no job allows him to take leave frequently.

While walking on the street that day, he had just come out of an interview at a high-end western restaurant. The interviewer told him that he could only take one day off a week and the salary would be 6,000 yuan. This was already the best-paid job Wen Yan had found in the past few days.

He was hesitating, calculating quickly in his mind. He only went to the hospital once a week, so could his mother take care of herself at other times? Should he hire a nurse? He didn't know how much a nurse would earn per month, but he heard that the salary for such caregivers was not low.

When Wen Yan was stopped, his mind was confused. He only heard people asking him if he was interested in the entertainment industry. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he directly stuffed a business card into his pocket and asked him to call him when he was free.

Wen Yan thought that people said the entertainment industry made money quickly, so why not go and take a look.

Later, I signed a contract, and then I signed another contract with Qi Yu'an.

I have to say that Qi Yu'an is a very good financial sponsor. He took over everything directly.

He arranged for her to be admitted to a private hospital with top doctors and first-class medical resources, and he personally took Wen Yan from her rental house to his own residence.

He has been living there ever since, and he has suggested buying Wen Yan a car and a house, but Wen Yan refuses, thinking she has already gotten too much.

It was not until Xiao Zhiyuan returned to China that he realized how ridiculous he was.

He moved out of the villa and started renting a house again. He lost all the money he had earned in the past few years.

He started from scratch and saved money slowly until he bought this house. Only then did he feel that he finally had a home.
