Chapter 42 "I want to marry you."
Zeng Manli couldn't believe her own eyes.
In fact, the brother and sister often hugged each other when they were young, and she used to think it was nothing that the brother doted on the sister.
But when she heard her daughter's recording in court this time, she felt that the scene before her was particularly glaring.
Wen Ning and Wen Yanqing were both shocked.
Wen Ning wiped her tears and let go of her brother's hand, trying to appear calm. Wen Yanqing frowned slightly.
"Mom, I was just comforting Ningning, why are you so excited?"
Zeng Manli looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Is that so? Just a consolation?
Is she overthinking it?
Zeng Manli didn't want it to be what she thought.
Her son is so outstanding that he cannot be ruined by such a small matter.
Although Wen Ning has no blood relationship with them, Zeng Manli treats Wen Ning as her own daughter.
If the scandal between their son and Wen Ning were to get out, it would definitely be a fatal blow to their family.
Zeng Manli looked at the frank eyes of her daughter and son, hoping that she was overthinking it.
"Yanqing, please go out and let Mom talk to Ningning alone."
"Mom." Wen Yanqing didn't know what his mother and sister wanted to talk about, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But my mother rudely interrupted me, "Get out!"
Wen Yanqing looked back at Wen Ning worriedly.
Wen Ning smiled at her brother and said, "Brother, Mom is talking to me, but she won't eat me. Get out now!"
The cute laughter eased the tense atmosphere.
For the first time, Zeng Manli looked at her daughter with scrutiny. "Ningning, it's not that I've been ignoring you lately. It's just that I need to digest what I've learned."
Hearing this, Wen Ning lowered her eyes, her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears fell on the back of her hand.
Her voice choked with sobs: "Mom, I know, I know I was wrong. But Mom, I like Brother Yu An so much, and I'm afraid that my sister will come back and snatch Brother Yu An from me again."
When she heard her daughter say that the person she liked was Sheng Yu'an, she felt relieved.
She must have been overthinking it.
Zeng Manli felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter crying heartbrokenly.
Matters of the heart often make people lose their rationality.
It is really unfair that Yu'an and Ningning are in love but they are separated by their engagement.
Zeng Manli said, "Mom doesn't blame you. If you really like Yu An, then it's up to you to fight for him."
If her daughter could win back the Sheng family's heart and successfully marry into the family, Zeng Manli felt that she could give Wen Ning a chance.
After all, she had already lost a daughter.
Zeng Manli felt a sharp pain in her heart when she thought of Wen Yu's heartless words.
Wen Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and she seemed determined: "Mom, I will. I will ask Brother Yu An to forgive me. He was so good to me before, he won't be angry with me for too long."
Zeng Manli changed the subject, "But Ningning, Mom has to remind you. You're a grown-up girl now. Your sister-in-law will be coming home soon. Don't do anything overly intimate like you just did. Otherwise, how will your future sister-in-law view you two?"
Wen Ning's face froze, "Mom, I know."
Zeng Manli looked at her daughter with red eyes, and finally softened her heart and couldn't bear to blame her anymore.
"That's good to know. Mom won't hurt you."

The next day, Wen Yu went to work and felt a little uneasy all day.
There were several errors in the data given to Han Xu.
"Wen Yu!" Han Xu always criticized the matter rather than the person. "If you didn't get enough rest at home yesterday, why not ask for leave today? Otherwise, your incorrect data will only make us work in vain."
Wen Yu lowered her head and stared at her toes, feeling a little embarrassed.
"sorry."
"Alright, alright, Han Xu, why are you so serious? Everyone makes mistakes!"
Xu Haoyu also tried to smooth things over: "It's okay, those few data points won't affect the overall situation. I can fix it in five minutes."
Then he winked at Wen Yu, indicating that she should quickly return to her workstation to avoid the limelight.
Wen Yu smiled at him gratefully and made a thank you gesture with her mouth.
When it was time to get off work, Wen Yu was the last one to leave.
Fu Jinnian said he wanted to talk to her today, and she was actually nervous.
I feel anxious because of the unknown.
Just as she turned off her computer and was staring at her phone in a daze, Han Xu came over and knocked on her desk: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Let's go."
The two of them entered the elevator together. Because they came out late, the groups of people who were supposed to get off during the rush hour had already gotten off.
Han Xu pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows as she looked at Wen Yu who was two meters away from her.
"Don't think that just because the boss looks kind, he's easy to talk to."
"I've said something about you today, so he won't say anything about you again. But if there's a next time, he'll only say something more harsh than I did."
Wen Yu looked up in surprise, realizing that Han Xu was just explaining to him what happened in the afternoon.
"Here, there's plenty in the cafeteria at noon. Here's some for you."
Han Xu handed a bottle of milk to Wen Yu, then the elevator door opened and he walked out quickly.
Wen Yu lowered her head and looked at the milk in her hand, stunned.
So, the milk was an apology to her?
Wen Yu took out her cell phone and sent a thank you emoticon to Han Xu, but he didn't reply.
Because of the unpleasantness in the afternoon, Wen Yu's mood suddenly brightened up.
As she was about to hail a taxi, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the Phantom parked on the side.
Fu Jinnian's driver, Gao Jun, opened the back door for her the moment he saw him.
Wen Yu looked around and found that there were no colleagues and no one was paying attention to this side. She ran over in small steps and went in.
Fu Jinnian tilted his head, looked at her cheeks that were flushed from running, and curled his lips: "Don't worry, we are not in a hurry."
Wen Yu calmed down and fastened her seat belt.
"Mr. Fu, I'll just take a taxi myself from now on."
Every time I ride in his car, I am terrified.
Fu Jinnian didn't answer, but just glanced at Gao Jun and said calmly, "Drive."
Wen Yu thought they were going back to his villa, but she didn't expect that they went directly to a private restaurant.
"arrive."
Wen Yu was still a little confused, "Aren't we going to your house to cook today?"
Fu Jinnian twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm not cooking today. We'll eat outside."
Wen Yu looked strange. Eating outside alone seemed too much like a date.
Is this boss of mine too nice to his employees?
Wen Yu did not hesitate, and the two of them were led side by side by the waiter to Fu Jinnian's exclusive private room.
"Look, what do you like to eat?"
Wen Yu actually didn't have much of an appetite today, mainly because she didn't know what Fu Jinnian would say next.
"Mr. Fu, I don't mind. Anything is fine with me."
He suddenly raised his eyes, the glimmer in his eyes tinged with frivolity, "There's no such thing as 'casual' on the menu."
Wen Yu choked.
What a poisonous mouth.
"Can you handle spicy food?"
The reason why Fu Jinnian asked this was because she found that she would unconsciously add more spiciness to the food when cooking.
Even though he himself can't eat that much spicy food.
"Can!"
Fu Jinnian looked at the waiter, ordered a few dishes at random with his slender knuckles, and then closed the menu.
"That's all for now."
Wen Yu held the water cup in both hands, drinking it in small sips, and occasionally looking at the man's profile.
She mustered up her courage and said, "Boss Fu, why did you ask me to come here today? What do you want to talk about?"
Fu Jinnian pulled the bag on the chair next to him and took out a document from it: "I want to marry you, do you agree?"
puff--
Wen Yu spat out a mouthful of water, all over Fu Jinnian's face.
What had she just heard, marriage?
