☆, Chapter 40 There Will Be That Day
The corridor was cleaned up, and a few people came up from downstairs and brought a table of food into the private room.
"It's time to eat."
As Wen Yuci spoke, he took her back to the private room, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and sat at the table to pick up some food for Shu Wanning.
The two of them had eaten together quite a few times during this period, and he had a pretty good idea of her preferences.
For example, I eat a lot of vegetables and seafood, don’t like meat very much, don’t like sweet things, and don’t like cakes.
He took a pair of gloves from the table and put them on, then placed the peeled lobster meat on Shu Wanning's plate.
Before she even started eating, food was piled up in front of her.
Seeing this, Shu Wanning quickly held his arm and said, "That's enough. I can't eat anymore."
He put the last piece of shrimp into his mouth, took off his gloves and chuckled, "If you don't eat it now, Cen You will eat it all."
Cen You, who had just sat down, looked at the chopsticks in his hand that had not yet been extended, and couldn't help but picked up an orange and threw it at Wen Yuci to express his dissatisfaction.
"Wen Yuci, you are really not a human being now."
"Yeah, I know." Wen Yuci responded calmly.
On the first floor, Shen Qingchen was startled by the soothing music as soon as he entered the room. He looked at the bodyguard at the door and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the music today?"
Bodyguard: "Mr. Wen requested it."
"Just him? He likes this style?"
"And Mrs. Wen."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingchen smiled knowingly, threw the car keys to the bodyguard, and took off his heavy down jacket while going upstairs.
He stood at the door of the private room and knocked a few times obediently like a student going to the office.
He pushed open the door only after hearing Cen You's voice, and the four people in the room all looked up at him.
The tip of his nose moved, and after entering the door he exclaimed, "What a nice smell."
He sat down beside him. Cen You handed him a pair of chopsticks and asked, "How many days have you not eaten? Why are you so hungry?"
"Only five or six hours."
He secretly glanced at Shu Wanning who was eating with her head down. He happened to hear about the Shu family on his way here.
Seeing that she looked normal, he swallowed back the words of comfort he was about to say.
"Where have you been these days?"
Wen Yuci suddenly asked, and Shen Qingchen sat up straight and immediately replied, "Going to play racing."
"Well, be safe."
Shen Qingchen nodded obediently, and Qiu Yuerong couldn't help laughing beside him. Their younger brother was not afraid of anything except his two older brothers.
In public, he is a young master of noble status in the capital. Who would have thought that he is so well-behaved in private.
After dinner, several people sat on the sofa and played cards. Shu Wanning won a lot and accumulated a pile of chips.
Just as Shen Qingchen was secretly planning to defeat Cen You, Wen Yuci's cell phone rang, breaking the silence.
When a group of people rushed to the old house, Cen You and Qiu Yuerong hurried to the second floor.
Shen Qingchen brought people to block the door of the old house. Wen Yuanguo was sitting in the living room. Wen Yuci walked in a few steps and knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground.
The teacup's shards flew all over the floor. Wen Yuci glanced upstairs and said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger: "How dare you stay here?"
Shu Wanning looked upstairs with a worried look. After Wen Yuci received the call, he heard that his grandmother had fainted from anger and rushed back without even putting on his coat.
Grandma is too important to Wen Yuci. If something happens, she dare not think about what he will do.
She went upstairs and stood outside the room looking inside. The room was fully equipped with various instruments and she could faintly hear Qiu Yuerong's voice.
After a long time, Cen You in the house stood up, walked to the door, nodded at her, and used his mouth to tell her that grandma was fine.
Shu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, her heart at ease. When she raised her foot to go downstairs, she stumbled and realized that her foot was numb.
She walked down the stairs, walked to Wen Yuci, gently held his arm, patted him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, grandma is fine."
Wen Yuci closed his eyes and exhaled, then helped the man sit on the chair and strode upstairs. Just then, Cen You walked out of the house.
Cen You pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "Grandma is fine for now. Rest well and don't let her get upset again."
Downstairs, Shen Qingchen noticed a trace of blood on Shu Wanning's ankle, and looking at the teacup fragments on the ground, he had the answer in his mind.
She was wearing a beige skirt, and the bloodstains were not many, but they were particularly obvious.
Noticing Shen Qingchen's gaze, she pulled her coat to cover the bloodstains, shook her head at him, and only turned her gaze upstairs after seeing him nod.
When Qiu Yuerong came out of the room, the servant who was guarding inside approached Wen Yuci and told him the truth about why Grandma Wen fainted from anger.
When he came downstairs, Wen Yuanguo quickly stood up and asked, "How is your grandma?"
Hearing his concerned question, Wen Yuci met his gaze with a hint of mockery: "Are you worried that grandma will pass away and leave you no inheritance?"
He pointed to the door, and Shen Qingchen opened it just in time. He heard him say in disappointment, "Let's go."
"Yu Ci..."
Wen Yuci: "I don't want anyone to ask you to leave, so don't make it too awkward."
Wen Yuanguo looked around, met pairs of condemning gazes, and walked away stiffly.
When they reached the door, Wen Yuci spoke again: "Let Yuming decide where he wants to stay."
He went upstairs. Grandma Wen was already awake. When she saw him come in, she looked at him distressedly and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Wen Yuci took the servant's towel and wiped her hands, then said comfortingly, "I'm fine."
"Where's Wan Ning?"
"Downstairs."
Grandma Wen patted Wen Yuci's hand and smiled with relief: "I'm relieved to see you get married. I have to take good care of myself. I also want to hold your child."
Wen Yuci choked for a moment, wiped his hands more gently, and nodded in response: "That day will come."
Downstairs, Qiu Yuerong patted Shu Wanning's shoulder and said softly, "We'll go back first. Remember to call me if you have anything."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After they left, the servants began to clean the living room. Shu Wanning originally planned to leave, but she didn't expect Shen Qingchen to come back.
He ran back and handed her a few sterilized cotton swabs, and said anxiously, "Brother Yuci didn't mean it, sister-in-law, don't be angry."
"I'm fine, don't worry."
She put the sterile cotton swab in her pocket and walked to the pond in the garden and sat down.
The koi in the pond swam towards her. She sprinkled some fish food into the pond and watched them scramble for the food silently.
Suddenly I remembered that when I was a child, Shu Xin raised a few goldfish in the fish tank. She liked them and fed them with fish food.
The fish died that night, and Shu Xin insisted that they died because she fed them too much fish food.
Shu Xin cried so sadly that Zhao Wei reduced her already small meals even more in the next few days.
Looking at the remaining fish food, Shu Wanning put it back on the shelf and murmured self-deprecatingly, "I won't feed you anymore. I'm afraid you'll get sick from being stuffed."
