Chapter 282: She found a shore to dock at.
When Wen Jin sent the message asking Dong Qi to send someone to pick her up, she did not tell him what the situation was.
At the time, it was just Tan Guohao's one-sided statement, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Since it was too difficult to explain over the phone, he simply said that the location he came from was in a remote area and it would be difficult to get a taxi back.
At this moment, Dong Qi stood outside the car door, looking over here with an unobstructed view, while Tan Guohao's voice was loud.
Dong Qi hurried over and asked anxiously and worriedly, "Miss Wen, who was that just now? Was he threatening you?"
Wen Jin also knew that those who worked as assistants to capitalists, if not all eighteen martial arts skills, would at least be proficient in sixteen or seventeen.
Pretending to be deaf and dumb is a basic skill.
His eagerness was certainly not because he wanted to be a bystander.
Instead, he was acting on orders from Fu Yanjing, out of concern for her safety.
She was unsure how to explain, "He's my uncle, a scoundrel, don't ignore him, I'm fine."
"So he came to suck your blood?"
Dong Qi took Wen Jinye's bag and walked ahead to open the back door for her.
Wen Jin followed behind.
How long will it take for this speculation about Dong Qi to reach Fu Yanjing's ears?
He's so busy, won't this distract him?
Rather than having someone else who only has a superficial understanding relay the message, it would be better for Wen Jin to find out the truth and then take the initiative to bring it up with Fu Yanjing.
If Shen Jinzhao is willing to believe her seemingly insane words, then Fu Yanjing's help may be needed for the urgent paternity test results and subsequent investigations.
So just as Dong Qishou was about to open the car door, Wen Jin stopped and discussed it with him.
"Assistant Dong, could you please refrain from telling Fu Yanjing about seeing my uncle and what he said?"
Dong Qi froze.
With the car door half-open, he glanced quickly at Wen Jinye before looking down again.
There was something he wanted to say but hesitated to.
Wen Jin could also see his predicament.
Thinking that this matter was related to so-called "loyalty," he sighed softly and was about to say, "Whatever you say."
Before he could even open his mouth...
The car door, which had been slightly ajar, was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
The privacy glass swayed in front of my eyes, and Wen Jin's reflection flashed by on it.
Instead, Fu Yanjing's figure appeared clearly before them, sitting steadily inside the carriage.
The reading light was turned on, casting a soft glow overhead that highlighted his facial features.
The man crossed his legs, turned his head to look at him, and spoke in a gentle and clear voice, yet with a hint of reckoning.
"If you don't want to tell me, who do you plan to tell?"
Wen Jin's focused gaze was unexpectedly broken.
Being caught red-handed made me a little embarrassed, but I wasn't too guilty.
After all, she didn't intend to hide it from Fu Yanjing; she just hadn't figured out how to say it.
"Why did you launch a surprise attack? I was wondering why Assistant Dong suddenly appeared here. I really thought I'd been demoted to become my personal driver."
Wen Jin sat down as well, her head naturally tilting to the side as she leaned on Fu Yanjing's shoulder.
His scent always made people feel so at ease.
Hearing her relaxed tone, Fu Yanjing felt a slight relief from his earlier anxiety.
He was waiting for her to speak first.
If she won't say anything, then I'll just play along with her fuss.
Fu Yanjing pinched Wen Jinye's waist.
She has a ticklish spot there; she flinches if you touch it.
They protested by humming and whining.
Hearing Fu Yanjing say, "You're avoiding the main issue. I'm here to interrogate you, what are you doing acting all cute?"
Since he said so, Wen Jin simply decided to confirm the charge.
She threw herself into Fu Yanjing's arms.
He sensed Wen Jinye's lingering affection and pulled her onto his lap.
Like holding a child, she sat sideways with her legs together, dangling over the edge of Fu Yanjing's thighs, her head resting against Fu Yanjing's chest, her arms around his neck.
Wen Jin closed her eyes in the familiar warmth.
The voice was as light as a feather, carrying an almost imperceptible sense of bewilderment and unease.
"Fu Yanjing, I can't find my home, and I can't seem to find my mother's home either."
Fu Yanjing gently patted Wen Jinye's back, like a silent sea, tenderly enveloping her and bearing all her turbulent and wandering emotions.
"What did Tan Guohao say to you?"
"He said my mother was adopted. Fu Yanjing, does this truth matter? Does my mother's background matter?"
"Wen Jinye, what are you afraid of?"
“I’m afraid of so many things,” Wen Jin also said. “I’m afraid he’s lying, and then my mother’s lack of love in that family is a complete tragedy; I’m also afraid he’s telling the truth, and then that place that caused my mother so much pain has replaced her with a potentially brighter life. I’m also afraid of…”
Wen Jin paused, her gentle tone unable to conceal her hesitation and unease, "I'm afraid Mom was abandoned. If she knew the truth, she would probably be even more heartbroken in heaven."
She greedily inhaled the scent emanating from Fu Yanjing.
Wen Jinye's gentle ramblings are like a little snail peeking out its antennae after the rain.
They keep probing around, yet they still feel sorry for themselves.
"Fu Yanjing, am I overthinking things?"
Fu Yanjing's voice was deep and magnetic, "No."
Only those who care too much will be overly cautious.
What she feared most was that after she had already accepted the fact that her mother was not loved, God would grant her a turning point.
Wen Jin also tried his best to grab it, but ended up getting hurt again.
After her parents passed away, that so-called "home" caused Wen Jin too much harm and trauma.
Fu Yanjing noticed Wen Jin's persistently low mood, and lowered his eyelids, concealing the dark light in his eyes.
His concerned inquiry couldn't hide the coldness in his voice, which carried a subtle sharpness and an oppressive pressure.
"And then? Did he say anything hurtful to you?"
He could not help but feel the sudden drop in air pressure.
Not wanting the atmosphere to become heavy because of her, she deliberately softened her voice and joked:
"He threatened me with a necklace that he claimed was related to my mother's background, and demanded five million from me. Does that count? My heart is bleeding."
But then again, that's five million.
How can this not be considered a form of harm?
So, the joking words and exaggerated tone actually revealed a bit of genuine feeling.
Fu Yanjing raised an eyebrow. "You gave it to me?"
"How could that be! I'm not stupid or rich."
Fu Yanjing felt that he needed to cultivate Wen Jin's habit of spending money extravagantly.
So even if he wasn't by her side, he knew that if she encountered any difficulties, money, while not everything, could certainly help.
"But your husband has a lot of money, so you can squander it no matter how smart you are."
Wen Jin also sensed the doting teasing in his words, and looked up at the man with a glare.
She felt much more relaxed now than when she left the coffee shop.
Perhaps the moment she saw Fu Yanjing, she had already found the shore where she could dock.
She is not alone.
