☆, Chapter 85: The Zhai Family Story
There was laughter in the bedroom.
Qiu Yuerong told most of Wen Yuming's embarrassing childhood stories, and the person involved was still in the hospital and had no idea about it.
After checking the time, Qiu Yuerong asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
"Much better."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuerong stood up and straightened her clothes: "Then I'll go first. I guess Yu Ci will be back by now."
Shu Wanning stood up and wanted to see her off, but she pushed him back: "Don't be polite with me, just rest assured."
After she left, Shu Wanning took a nap, and she was still sleeping when Wen Yuci came back.
He didn't argue with her, but went back to the study to look at the documents and dealt with Sheng An's documents as well.
There was a hint of smile in his eyes. He was thinking that if Shu Wanning were to run the Wen Group, her ability would not be much weaker than his.
It was just getting dark when Shu Wanning woke up. The discomfort in her body had mostly subsided, but her head still hurt a little.
She stood by the bed and stretched. When she opened the door, Wen Yuci upstairs also opened the door of the study.
He hurried downstairs and waved to Shu Wanning at the corner of the stairs.
Looking at the approaching person, he took her hand and went downstairs, saying in the process:
"An email came from Barritt's family, offering commercial compensation and a manor as a gift."
He led the man to sit on the sofa and continued, "Barritt was seriously injured. His family is seeking peace, which is beyond my expectation."
"Is there a conspiracy?" Shu Wanning asked.
Wen Yuci sighed softly: "There are always conspiracies in the business world. All we can do is take precautions."
Shu Wanning thought for a long time. She pinched the muscles on his arm and said, "Then accept their apology for now."
Wen Yuci beat Barrett severely, and she was also afraid that the other party would hold on to this matter.
Wen Yuci was already tired enough, and it was not worth wasting too much energy on them.
Uncle Qiao walked in holding flowers and whispered, "Master, the young master of the Zhai family is visiting."
"Let him in."
Uncle Qiao responded and handed the flowers to Xiaomei. There was never a shortage of flowers. Shu Wanning loved them, and Xiaomei even took a few flower arrangement classes.
When Zhai Xuan walked in, he was holding a gift in his hand. He placed the gift in front of the two of them with a polite smile.
"It's just a token of my appreciation. Please don't despise it."
Wen Yuci raised his eyelids to look at him and asked, "What's the matter, Master Zhai?"
He sat a little stiffly, and answered Wen Yuci's question truthfully: "I came here for someone."
"Who?"
"Yang Man."
Wen Yuci raised the corner of his eyes to signal him to continue, then took the fruit handed to him by Aunt Jing and fed it to Shu Wanning.
Zhai Xuan pushed the file bag in his hand to Wen Yuci with a serious expression.
He said, "These are the records of my father's car accident. He collided with a truck, and the driver died on the spot."
This familiar plot attracted Shu Wanning's attention. She leaned over to look at the information and found that someone had tampered with his father's brakes.
And some evidence that Yang Man bribed the truck driver.
Zhai Xuan: "Yang Man killed my father, and the evidence we searched for back then was not comprehensive enough.
In addition, because Wen Yuanguo protected her back then, even if we produce evidence, she will not be punished too severely.
Now I want to use Mr. Wen to return the blame to her."
Shu Wanning clutched the photo of the accident scene, a puzzled expression on her face: "Aren't they family? Why did this happen?"
Zhai Xuan glanced at Wen Yuci. They were the same age.
He asked, "Premier Wen, do you still remember that time you were seriously ill in junior high school?"
Wen Yuci nodded. He naturally remembered that time when he was sick and had no energy for half a month.
"I overheard outside the study that year. Yang Man wanted my parents to help... harm you. But they refused."
Wen Yuci was already thirteen years old at that time. As long as he was not around, the Wen family would belong to Wen Yuanguo and Wen Yuming.
Seeing Wen Yuci's unchanged expression, Zhai Xuan was shocked: "Mr. Wen already knew about this?"
Wen Yuci smiled and replied, "When I recovered from my illness, I sent people to investigate their whereabouts."
Zhai Xuan was petrified on the spot. When they were still young and ignorant, he had already started to be exposed to all kinds of intrigues.
Wen Yuci put the information back into the file bag and chuckled, "Why do you think the Zhai family has been able to stay stable in the capital for so many years?"
Back then, Zhai's parents protected him, and he repaid them by ensuring the safety of the Zhai family.
But no one expected that Yang Sen was deliberately murdered by Yang Man.
Zhai Xuan lowered his head and smiled in frustration. "Besides this, Yang Man frequently borrowed money, and after a few times, my parents refused. So she schemed to kill my father."
Wen Yuci always felt that this matter was related to him in every way.
He didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement: "I agree to what you said."
Zhai Xuan looked up at him excitedly, his eyes shining. He stood up and bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much."
"Sit down and talk." Wen Yuci waved his hand.
After Zhai Xuan sat down, he looked at Shu Wanning. Facing her inquiring gaze, he curled his lips bitterly.
Shu Wanning frowned slightly. The more she looked at Zhai Xuan, the more familiar he seemed to her.
She searched her mind for a long time and finally fixed her memory on her sophomore year of high school.
She spoke softly, "During my second year of high school, during a cultural performance, someone poured glue all over my chair.
A senior student reminded me, that person, is it you?"
Zhai Xuan nodded: "I didn't expect Mrs. Wen still remembered it."
"But why?" Shu Wanning asked, "We didn't know each other at that time."
Wen Yuci looked at Zhai Xuan with some hostility, which scared him so much that he sat up straight immediately.
"Don't get me wrong, that was the second time I saw you, and your features were a bit like my sister's.
So when I saw someone targeting you, I couldn't bear it and helped you."
Wen Yuci frowned and looked at him: "My wife is not your sister, don't mistake her for someone else."
"I know." Zhai Xuan said.
"They only look about three or four points alike, but their personalities are very different. My sister is a very lively girl."
As if he could see the two people's confusion, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "My sister died of illness when she was twelve years old."
He raised his head again and looked at Shu Wanning, smiling: "But the first time I saw you, I felt very close to you."
He is a gentle and gentlemanly man. When he mentioned his sister, his eyes were moist with longing.
Shu Wanning pulled herself away from her memories and smiled at him, "Thank you very much for your help in high school."
Tell her about the glue on the chair, lend her an umbrella on a rainy day, and help her get the book that she can't reach in the library...
It turns out that these are not coincidences. Shu Wanning had never noticed these things before.
Zhai Xuan shook his head: "It's just a piece of cake."
He turned his gaze back to Wen Yuci, and said sincerely, "I have absolutely no ill will towards Madam Wen, and I understand that her life has not been easy.
If Mr. and Mrs. Wen agree, I would like to treat her as my sister."
Before Wen Yuci could speak, he added, "I absolutely don't mean to treat her as a substitute for my sister."
Wen Yuci glanced at him unhappily: "You are good at taking advantage."
