Chapter 55 The Rich Man's Dream Shattered... How Did You... Sneaky Attack...?
Liu Chuanze suddenly pounced on the bed and buried his face in it: "Why did you call Jing Yu?"
"Let's discuss what to do next with him." Wen Han sighed, rummaged through a bunch of chargers, and actually stumbled upon a charging cable that could charge this old-fashioned phone.
"Originally, my plan was to first turn you into a handsome and outstanding genius junior high school student, and then have you suddenly appear at some important occasion of the Gu family to amaze everyone and make Gu Cheng look like he's on top of the world. But now, due to the Gu family's strange tradition, I have no choice but to let you make an appearance, and the whole plan has been disrupted."
So he was thinking of me after all. Liu Chuanze's mood suddenly improved, and he was about to comfort Wen Han when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Wen Han was too lazy to get up and picked up the water from the bedside table to drink. Liu Chuanze went to open the door and judged from the appearance of the person that this Alpha should be Wen Han's brother.
This bottled water must be pretty high-end; the cap is so hard to twist. Wen Han heard Liu Chuanze ask him, "Wen Han, is this your older brother or your younger brother?"
Whether it was Wen Ruo or Wen Ruan, they were both younger than him, so Wen Han replied without hesitation, "My brother."
"Oh." Liu Chuanze nodded. Liu Ruyan was an only child, and so was he, so he didn't know much about this. He asked Wen Ruo, "Should I call you...brother-in-law, right?"
Wen Han sprayed the premium mineral water all the way up to the ceiling.
Wen Ruo looked coldly at the middle school student in front of her. The system laughed twice when it saw his expression: "Should he go and have his birth charts calculated? Whether it's his brother's husband or his sister's husband, they both seem to clash with him."
Wen Han still had some self-respect. Although he and Liu Chuanze were only pretending to be a couple, if Wen Ruo were dating a middle school student, he would definitely be berated mercilessly. He laughed awkwardly, "Haha, just kidding. You go inside and watch TV by yourself."
After saying that, he pushed Wen Ruo out the door and closed it behind him.
"Is there something you need from me?"
He is a freshman in junior high school.
With just one sentence, Wen Han faced a moral judgment crisis. Wen Han straightened her neck and said, "So what? If you don't find a younger one to be your savior, do you really want me to be Gu Cheng's stepfather?"
Wen Ruo thought about it and felt a chill. He still disliked Gu Cheng more: "Don't sleep in the middle of the night."
"ah?"
"Wen Ruan persuaded Gu Cheng to agree to secretly send us away in the middle of the night."
Wen Han refused: "No."
Wen Ruo asked, puzzled, "Why?"
“I think it would be better for Wen Ruan to get married,” Wen Han readily admitted. “At the Gu family banquet before, Gu Zong promised to pay off his debts if Wen Ruan married into the Gu family.” Of course, Wen Han planned to keep all the money for herself.
Wen Ruo didn't speak, and Wen Han thought he was about to give another long speech. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck.
Wen Ruan caught Wen Han's limp body. Wen Han's eyes widened: "How...did you...ambush me..."
Liu Chuanze had been pressing his ear against the door. When he saw that there was no movement outside, he opened the door and saw Wen Ruo lifting Wen Han's arm and Wen Ruan lifting Wen Han's foot. Liu Chuanze and Wen Ruan made eye contact.
What do you want?
Wen Ruan glanced at Wen Ruo, who asked, "Are you leaving or not?"
——
"Dad, do you still remember how to drive?"
The car was full of minors. Gu Cheng had already learned to drive, but Wen Ruan didn't dare let him drive.
"Yes, he will." Wen Qingke glanced at Wen Han in the rearview mirror and asked worriedly, "Is Hanhan alright?"
"It will take several hours for him to wake up from this anesthetic." Wen Ruo recalled that before Wen Han fainted, he kept muttering "eight million, eight million."
A light drizzle began to fall outside. Gu Cheng and Gu Yuan had already discussed it, so no one stopped them along the way. Wen Qingke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had finally left the Gu family: "Gu Cheng, thank you so much for your help."
Gu Cheng's expression was indifferent. It was no wonder he was unhappy that Wen Han had given him a younger brother.
Liu Chuanze and Wen Han sat in the last seat. Wen Han's warm breath hit the back of his neck, making him unable to move.
"Little friend, are you going home now?" Wen Qingke asked hesitantly. "Let's take you home first."
The phone suddenly rang. Liu Chuanze opened his mouth, and Wen Qingke recognized it as his own phone ringtone. He patted his pocket and said, "Hey, where's my phone?"
The sound came from behind. Liu Chuanze took out his phone; he hadn't forgotten to take it with him when he left.
How did my phone end up with you?
Wen Ruo reminded her, "It should have been Wen Han who took it."
"Oh, when did this child get it?" Wen Ruan took the phone and handed it to Wen Ruo. Wen Ruo saw the unfamiliar number on the screen and asked Wen Qingke if he wanted to answer it.
"Take it."
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. It's already three in the morning, and there are hardly any cars on the road.
"Wen Han?" Jing Yu's gentle voice mingled with the patter of rain. Wen Ru frowned; he had long suspected that Jing Yu had been secretly stirring things up. He hadn't believed a word of Wen Han's explanation at the dinner table today. Even if Wen Han was desperate, she wouldn't be interested in a middle school student, especially since he despised people in love. Her acquaintance with Liu Chuanze was even more suspicious; the truth was, Jing Yu had definitely been involved.
"Wen Han is asleep for now," Wen Qingke asked. "I'll have him call you when he wakes up."
"Hmm?" The rain kept hitting the umbrella, and Jingyu lifted his eyelids. "But Wen Han asked me to pick him up."
Liu Chuanze swore that Wen Han never said that. How could this person lie so easily!
"Is...is that so?" Wen Qingke was already feeling guilty, and now he was even more uncertain.
Jingyu heard the clear sound of a car driving on the phone. "Uncle Wen, you're on Minghua Road now, right?"
How could he know? Wen Han was still unconscious, and Wen Qingke was extremely conflicted. Jing Yu saw a glimmer of light in the distance.
When Wen Qingke drove the car to the vicinity, he noticed a car parked on the side of the road, with a tall figure standing outside the car as if waiting for someone. He instinctively braked.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm on Yihe Road." Seeing that Wen Qingke had arrived, Jing Yu smiled slightly, "Perfect timing, I see you guys."
They've gone to such lengths; it would be impolite not to stop now. Wen Qingke glanced at Wen Han, who was fast asleep; even setting off firecrackers next to his ear wouldn't wake him.
Through the car window, Liu Chuanze saw a figure in a black trench coat holding an umbrella slowly walking towards them.
The car door opened a crack, and Gu Cheng suddenly felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.
"Jingyu," Wen Qingke said somewhat embarrassedly, "you see, we can't wake Hanhan up either, so why don't you—"
“Aunt Liu is very worried about you.” Jing Yu glanced at Liu Chuanze, and seeing his expression soften, she took Wen Han from him. “Go back quickly, don’t let her worry.”
"Wait a minute," Wen Ruo said coldly, "We escaped, didn't he tell you that?"
"That's why we're going to the Jing family," Jing Yu said calmly. "This car is too conspicuous; he deliberately let you leave."
This is already the most ordinary of Gu Yuan's luxury cars; the uncle and nephew never even considered using a bodyguard's car.
"Intentional?" Besides Gu Zong, who else could have the authority to let them go? Gu Cheng snorted coldly, mocking Liu Chuanze: "Looks like your and your mother's wishes are going to be dashed."
Wen Ruan quickly pressed Gu Cheng down to keep him quiet.
Jing Yu didn't say anything. Given Gu Cheng's stupidity and inability to understand human language, let alone the fact that Liu Chuanze was already an excellent junior high school student, Gu Zong wouldn't give up on nurturing him even if he were just an embryo.
Even while under anesthesia, Wen Han was still thinking about his eight million.
——
When Wen Han woke up, her memory was still stuck in that corridor.
A bird chirped outside, and sunlight streamed in. Wasn't this Jingyu's room? How come it was already daylight?
"Wen Han, you're awake." Jing Yu came in just then, bringing in breakfast. "Does your neck still hurt?"
Neck? Wen Han touched the back of his neck in confusion. He remembered that Wen Ruan and Wen Ruo had tricked him into giving him an anesthetic injection!
Wen Han complained, "Why would a high school student like him just stick an anesthetic needle in like that? That's so unreasonable!"
"Host, they have to inject inhibitors into their necks every month."
"Oh." It seems that Alphas and Omegas automatically acquire the ability to kidnap after reaching adulthood.
Wen Han felt fine after his nap. After washing up, he asked Jing Yu, "How did I end up at your house?"
"We're staking out the place." Jing Yu rested her chin on her hand. "Gu Zong probably let you go on purpose."
"Otherwise what? Do you really think Gu Cheng has such a stupid brain?" Wen Han chewed on his cereal, which he liked to eat separately from his milk. "Why did Gu Zong let us go? There's no reason for him to give up on Liu Chuanze."
“Liu Chuanze won’t give up.” Jing Yu poured him some more milk. “However, now that a new candidate has appeared, doesn’t Gu Cheng and Wen Ruan’s marriage seem unnecessary?”
Wen Han had forgotten about this. Gu Zong originally wanted Gu Cheng to get married early so that another heir could appear as soon as possible. Now that a ready-made heir had appeared, why was he in such a hurry?
Wen Han seemed to see eight million grow wings and fly away from him.
*
Jing Zhao couldn't understand why Wen Han was so downcast after accompanying her classmate to the dentist, and she was even eating very little barbecue ribs.
She asked with concern, "Wen Han, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy." With her millionaire dream shattered into pieces, Wen Han was definitely not happy.
"Aren't you bored?" Jing Zhao laughed. "Wanwan is inviting us to his house next weekend; it's his grandfather's 70th birthday."
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Wen Han asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't his grandfather only invite relatives to his birthday celebration?"
"We've invited plenty of people, we're just going to have fun, the adults need to discuss business."
Wen Han gnawed on the ribs with his good teeth, feeling frustrated. Did these people have nothing better to do, or was attending all sorts of banquets their only real job?
