☆, Chapter 139 She said she wished me more and more happiness
"Shu... Wanning, were you scared at that time? Were you afraid that President Wen wouldn't arrive and no one would be able to save you?"
She gave up her awkward Chinese and spoke English, her voice much softer than when she spoke Chinese.
Shu Wanning curled his lips slightly and replied in English: "It's okay actually."
"Why? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"What's there to be afraid of about death?" Shu Wanning replied softly, tilting his head to meet her gaze. "Being alive is the scariest thing."
Ravenna took the photo back from her hand, lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: “After watching the surveillance video, I think you are a smart and brave person.
Even after Premier Wen arrived, my eyes couldn't help but be drawn to you.
Since then, I started to pay attention to your news, learned about your life in Beijing, and admired you even more.
I knew I was an illegitimate child when I was very young. I hated my irresponsible father and my mother who did it knowingly, so I started planning early on.
I always thought that you were a girl from a wealthy family in Beijing and had such a good husband, so you were indifferent and didn't fight or compete with others.
But ever since Premier Wen got into trouble, I realized that you have another side.
Decisive, strong, with both discouragement and vitality. He wants to live a good life, but he can also let go of life immediately.
No one is hiding your background, so it's really easy to find out.
So I want to know more about you and get to know you more and more."
Her voice was still soft, but slowly, her gaze changed.
"Ravenna." Shu Wanning suddenly called her: "I'm married."
"Do you like Wen Yuci?"
"like."
"When did you start liking me?"
"I don't know, he invaded my life little by little."
Ravenna's eyes reddened and she nodded, "He's a very good lover."
She carefully put the photo back into her bag and smiled, "I really envy you."
"Envy me?"
Shu Wanning laughed as if she had heard a joke: "Orphans have a fate of being abandoned and a life of being exploited.
He often goes to dark basements, wears other people's old clothes, and eats leftovers.
So, why do you envy me?"
"You don't know yet." Ravenna suddenly said, "Back then, Barrett found many noble girls and wanted to give them to Wen Yuci."
Seeing her expression, Ravenna nodded and smiled: "I knew you didn't know."
"Barritt said that every girl is an elite who has won in the business battlefield, and he wants to cooperate with Wen Yuci to achieve a win-win result for both parties.
But Wen Yuci refused completely.
He said he only loved his wife, Mrs. Wen.
Love her because even though she lives in this unbearable world and has experienced the corruption of human nature, she still remains sober and is always herself.
So I envy you, envy you for being yourself all these years."
Some things cannot be said too bluntly.
Shu Wanning tilted her head, her eyes still distant, but less wary.
She curled her lips and said, "Ravenna, I think you have lived a wonderful life. I wish you all the best from now on."
"Thank you... Then I wish you... more and more happiness."
She stood up, her eyes sparkling: "If Wen Yuci treats you badly, I will build you a new, beautiful manor."
"How old are you?" she asked.
Shu Wanning: "Twenty-four years old."
"Then I'm older than you." She smiled and waved at Shu Wanning: "Goodbye, Sister Wanning."
She left in a hurry. As her car left the manor, Shu Wanning had not yet stood up when Wen Yuci had already walked to her side.
He asked, "What did she say?"
"She said she wished me more and more happiness."
"But you've been talking for so long."
Shu Wanning curled her lips, took his arm and replied: "Little secrets between girls, I can't tell you."
Shortly after Ravenna left, Cyril rushed to the manor with the file bag and put it on the coffee table and said:
“The change of ownership of the shares and the seaside estate has been completed.
It’s just that the manor by the sea needs some renovations; it’s been uninhabited for a long time and is a bit run-down.”
Shu Wanning shook her head: "It's okay, just leave it there for now. I won't be living there for the time being."
Xi Ruier responded, and then handed the gift he brought to Qiu Yuerong:
"Sister-in-law, this is a gift for you. You've been pregnant for a long time, so I want to cheer you up."
"Thank you! What is it?"
Qiu Yuerong opened the gift box full of doubts, and looking at the jade mahjong in front of her, she felt hot to the touch and withdrew her hand immediately.
She shook her head: "No, this is too expensive."
This jade is rare, and it would be extremely valuable if made into mahjong. Qiu Yuerong did not dare to accept such a precious gift for a while.
Cyril smiled and waved his hand, “I’ve wanted to give it to you for a long time, but I never got around to making it.
Take it back, sister-in-law, you, Wan Ning, Xiao Shen's wife, and Yu Ming's wife, you'll have just enough for a mahjong table."
Afraid that the two would still refuse to accept it, he said with a smile: "If I bring my girlfriend to visit you in the future, we can still have fun together."
Cen You took Qiu Yuerong's hand and comforted her: "Accept it, it's a token of his kindness."
Cyril winked at Wen Yuci, and through their eye contact, Wen Yuci understood what he meant.
He said: Waiting for your good news.
Wen Yuci lowered her eyes, curled Shu Wanning's hair with her fingertips and played with it, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, but she still did not respond to his words.
The affairs of Country Y have finally come to an end.
The next morning, the group set off back to the capital. Wen Yuming sat in the yard of Qianyue Bay with a sad face.
Uncle Qiao stood aside, listening to him sighing continuously. After enduring for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Yuming, what are you worried about?"
"well......"
He tilted his head to look at Uncle Qiao, shook his head and said, "Uncle Qiao, you don't understand."
"Tell it to Uncle Qiao."
"Uncle Qiao, I'm in school. Brother Qingchen is with Sister-in-law Shengran. My brother and sister-in-law abandoned me and went to Country Y. Brother Cenyou and his wife also went there.
And when I came back from vacation, I was the only one left alone in such a big Qianyue Bay.
Why should I go to school? I want to be like them.”
"But...your brothers are here from their school days too."
The two were silent for a moment. Suddenly, Uncle Qiao reached out and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Yuming, um... have you finished your homework?"
Wen Yuming turned back helplessly: "Uncle Qiao, I'm in college now. I'm not the same me in elementary school who didn't do homework."
He glanced at his phone and sighed again, "Why are they taking so long to get here?"
Another five minutes later, he suddenly stood up from his chair and straightened his clothes: "Uncle Qiao, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Uncle Qiao asked, thinking of something: "Are you going to see your girlfriend too?"
"No, I'm going to play at my sister-in-law's playground first."
