The old man was displeased after hearing Qin Ying's words: "No matter what, I am her grandfather by blood. Even if we have severed ties, my blood still flows in her veins."
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Wen Tianshi spoke up at the right time: "I will pick her up in person tomorrow. To be honest, I have never met my biological sister. In any case, it would be good for her to come back and recognize me."
Qin Ying thought the Wen family members were all a bit dim-witted, so she stopped trying to persuade them: "Fine, if you're going to run into trouble, then go ahead. I don't want to go against her."
The old man and the others felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
However, considering that Qin's maternal family was in a better situation than her own, she held back.
......
"You must be Xiaoxiao? I didn't expect you to grow up to be so beautiful." Wen Tianshi was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao, then immediately smiled.
While speaking, he also took out a prepared gift and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao.
But Lin Xiaoxiao did not answer.
Accepting this would be tantamount to acknowledging the person.
She knew that this man with the sincere smile was no good; the gift he was offering her now was a pretext to later hand her the knife.
"What's wrong? Don't you like this gift?"
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed, giving Wen Tianshi a cold look. "What? You just think there's something wrong with the gift?"
"No, I just think you're not such a petty person."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Tianshi and said these words calmly, her fists hanging at her sides slowly clenching. If it weren't for the fact that it was in front of the Han family's door, she would have already thrown her fists at him.
This so-called "big brother" was nowhere to be seen when you were in trouble, but he shows up when you're about to be riding high. How ridiculous!
Whether it was the original owner or Lin Xiaoxiao when she transmigrated, everyone in the Wen family who treated her kindly was actually just using her. Now, this invisible perpetrator is even calling her stingy.
You don't know the pain until it hurts yourself.
They should have investigated Wen Tianshi properly back then, instead they only ruined Wen Lin.
That's such a loss.
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she suddenly took the gift, opened it, and said, "You've learned your lesson now, and the things you give your sister are starting to be cheaper and more affordable?"
"That makes sense. When Wen Qin was at home, we gave her so much. Not only were her clothes the latest, but she also had a lot of jewelry and a lot of pocket money. Who knew that all that we gave her would turn her into such an ungrateful child?"
"You have to be a little stingy when giving gifts to your younger sister these days."
"But don't worry, I won't mind any gift, and I'll even say thank you. After all, I had nothing when I was a child, no one supported me in high school, and I was even dragged out to take the blame in the end. With such a miserable life, I naturally won't mind anything others give me."
Wen Tianshi had an "I knew it" look on his face. "Xiaoxiao, I know that the family made a lot of mistakes in the past, but the family gave you money as compensation later. I won't talk about those things. I'll just say one thing: you are, after all, a member of the Wen family."
"So I'm a member of the Wen family now? Why didn't you introduce me properly when I first came to the Wen family?" Lin Xiaoxiao laughed again: "You make it sound like I've received a great benefit from the Wen family. You came to find me just because the Wen family needed a woman they could use."
"Xiaoxiao..."
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stopped smiling and sneered at Wen Tianshi, "Wen Tianshi, do you really think you're my brother? The Wen family treats you like royalty now, afraid you won't care about the Wen family, but here, you're no different from an onion or garlic. You'd better put away your self-righteous attitude."
"I will agree to let you go to the Wen family, not because you have a lot of influence, but simply because you are in a bit of a predicament right now. You definitely need to see this spectacle properly, otherwise you'll miss out on a lot of fun."
Wen Tianshi's expression didn't change much when he heard these words. After all, he came from a place of swords and shadows, and these words really couldn't stir any emotion in him.
"Really? That's fine. You want to watch the show, which means you still care about us."
"Heh, I know what you're trying to say. You think I still care a lot about family ties, right?"
Wen Tianshi slightly raised his chin and stared at her intently.
That's what he was thinking when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction today.
“I don’t know where you get your sense of superiority from in front of me. I am loved and cared for by others, and I have money. I couldn’t be happier. Yet you think I still care about the ties of a heartless family.”
Many people say you are smart and wise, a very outstanding person, but in my opinion, you're just average, no different from anyone else. Well, no, you don't even have the humility of an average person.
Wen Tianshi smiled and replied, "Whether I am good or not has never required other people's judgment. The reason I am the way I am is because I have always believed in myself."
"As for what you said, it doesn't have much impact on me."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding: "Thinking about it, I can understand. You live in a garbage dump every day and compare yourself to garbage all the time, so naturally you will believe in yourself."
"Whether it's a rat or a cockroach, you'll find out its true nature once you take it out for a walk. Look at you, you haven't done a very good job of managing the Wen family since you came back, that's where your competence lies."
The more proud a person is, the more they care about other people's opinions. Wen Tianshi was just being stubborn when he said that. You could tell from his overall demeanor that he cared a lot.
Although Wen Tianshi's expression didn't change, he clenched his fist several times, each time making a tight squeeze before releasing it.
This action revealed the considerable anger that had been building up inside him; had it not been for the constraints of the environment, he would probably have made Lin Xiaoxiao suffer a terrible fate.
However, in the end, Wen Tianshi managed to suppress his anger.
He's no young upstart; his most important task now is to revitalize the Wen family.
"Okay, I was being petty just now. We were wrong, and I will make it up to you slowly."
"But blood ties are far stronger than others. You're still young, and your view of many things is one-sided. You'll understand later that life is nothing more than a transaction..."
Before Wen Tianshi could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao left.
Now she's certain that everyone in the Wen family is sick.
The Wen family has run out of bargaining chips, so they can only use blood ties to negotiate, as if she is desperately missing relatives in this world.
Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted him, "If you want compensation, then hurry up and prepare more. It's not because I really want the affection you give me, but because I don't want something that's free. Also, don't mention any so-called affection. Your family is so disgusting, there's no point in acknowledging this kind of affection. I'm not that stupid."
