Chapter 12 Benefits

The happy scene lasted less than two minutes, and Wen Rongsheng asked: "I have met your request, shouldn't you listen to me for once?"

Wen Yue immediately became alert, but considering the 500,000 yuan per month promised by Wen Rongsheng, she did not refuse it, but just laughed and said: "It depends on what you are talking about."

Wen Rongsheng did not keep her in suspense, and said directly: "You just said that Yi Huai is good to you, so shouldn't you cherish him and stop being willful and separate?"

Sure enough.

Wen Yue sneered, and she said why Wen Rongsheng was so easy to talk to after losing face. Not only did he not scold her, but he also gave in several times. Even she was almost confused, thinking that although the old man was a scumbag, he still had feelings for his daughter.

In the end, there was no feelings at all, it was all about interests. Although

thinking this in her heart, Wen Yue looked very calm, and said, "My mom is also very good, and she is also very good to you, Daddy, but you still don't know how to cherish her, and bring people home one after another?"

After pulling out the banner of her original mother, Wen Yue laughed and said, "You messed up your marriage yourself, and now you are advising me to cherish it. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Wen Rongsheng choked, but after all, he has been ups and downs in the business world for many years, and his thickness is not comparable to that of ordinary people. After choking, he said calmly, "So I regret it now. As a father, I hope you don't regret it like me when you are over 50."

Shameless people are invincible.

When Wen Rongsheng became shameless, Wen Yue was really at a loss for words. She also saw that Wen Rongsheng was determined to match her with Yi Huai this time.

Wen Yue couldn't say she was disgusted by this. She knew from the beginning that Wen Rongsheng valued interests more than feelings. She was not her original self. No matter how ruthless she looked, she couldn't help but have expectations for her father in her heart. She had never counted on Wen Rongsheng.

Even Wen Rongsheng's plan coincided with Wen Yue's.

It's not that Wen Yue likes Yi Huai and wants to live a good life with him - she did not inherit the memory of her original body when she traveled through time, and her understanding of Yi Huai all came from systematic popularization.

It's too early to talk about liking or disliking someone you haven't met.

She wanted to maintain her marriage, mainly for her own safety.

There was no way. It was too easy to offend people with the job of taking people to eat melons. Without the protection of the current richest man and the future richest man, her safety was difficult to guarantee.

Note that the two people mentioned above are indispensable.

Without Yi Huai, if Wen Yue offended the rich and powerful someday, she really couldn't guarantee that Wen Rongsheng would protect her.

Similarly, without Wen Rongsheng, it would be the same. The original body and Yi Huai were a pure business marriage, without any feelings, all for the sake of interests. Wen Yue believed that if Wen Rongsheng broke off relations with her, Yi Huai would divorce her, not to mention that she couldn't expect him to protect her.

So she couldn't afford to offend either of these two people.

But she didn't have to be too compromising. If she wasn't there as a link, their cooperation wouldn't have been so smooth.

This can be seen from the fact that she just scolded Wen Rongsheng so much, but he didn't care at all.

After testing Wen Rongsheng's bottom line, what she had to do next was to meet Yi Huai and find out his bottom line, so that she could find her position and get as much benefit as possible from the cooperation between Wen and Yi.

But she couldn't take the initiative to meet Yi Huai, the reason was simple, first, it would easily ruin her character, the original body always looked down on Yi Huai, and she would never ask him for peace;

second, the person who bowed his head first was always more likely to lose initiative, she had too few chips in her hand, if she didn't take it now, she would have no chance to take it in the future.

Therefore, Wen Yue frowned and thought for a long time before speaking: "Marriage is a matter between two people. Even if I listen to you and learn to cherish it from now on, it will be useless if Yi Huai doesn't cooperate."

Wen Rongsheng asked: "How do you know he won't cooperate?"

Wen Yue certainly didn't know. She just wanted to make fun of Qiao, so she skipped the question and said, "Anyway, I won't take the initiative to contact him."

"It doesn't matter," Wen Rongsheng obviously had expected it, and said in a warm tone, "I've already called Yi Huai and asked him to come home for dinner in the evening."

Wen Yue looked surprised: "Didn't he go on a business trip to the mainland?"

"He said he would be back today."

Well, Wen Yue was sure that Wen Rongsheng must have wanted to match the original body and Yi Huai for a long time, and her exposure of the fourth room scandal was a trap set by Wen Rongsheng.

At this point, Wen Yue did not pretend to be sympathetic and made a request, saying, "First, I will not take the initiative. Whether we live together depends on his attitude."

Wen Rongsheng nodded readily, " Okay."

"Second, if we live together, I cannot guarantee that we can get along well. You are not allowed to use pocket money to pressure me."

Wen Rongsheng frowned and nodded, "Okay."

"Third, pay first, then meet."

Wen Rongsheng gritted his teeth and nodded, "I will contact the assistant to pay now."

...

Not long after Wen Yue followed Wen Rongsheng into the study, Chen Baoqin and her daughter also entered an empty reception room and locked the door. She said to her daughter, "You shouldn't have quarreled with Wen Yue in front of your dad just now."

"Did I want to quarrel with her?" Wen Jiaqi didn't think she was wrong and said loudly, "It was obviously she who deliberately provoked me!"

Chen Baoqin was also very dissatisfied with Wen Yue, but she couldn't blame her, so she could only agree and said, "I know she was deliberately provoking, but Jiaqi, you are different from her."

Wen Jiaqi sat on the sofa and raised her head: "What's the difference?"

"Her mother is dead, her brother is dead, and her relationship with your dad is not good. Now she has given up." Chen Baoqin sat next to her daughter, took her hand and said, "But you are different. Your brother and I are both alive, and your brother is the only male in the Wen family. Do you know what this means?"

Wen Jiaqi came from a wealthy family, so she naturally knew what Chen Baoqin meant: "You mean, after Daddy... the Wen family will be ours?"

Chen Baoqin tacitly said: "It's good for you to know these things, but don't show them outside."

"Don't worry, Mom, I know the importance of this." Wen Jiaqi quickly assured, and after a while he said proudly, "Let her Wen Yue show off in front of me, and then... I will kill her!"

"Yes, now that your dad is here, she can act arrogantly in front of you. When your brother takes charge, she will have to look at your face. So why are you fighting with her now?" Chen Baoqin patted her daughter's hand and said, "Be patient for a while and everything will be calm. Take a step back and the sky will be vast."

Wen Jiaqi understood the truth, but she always felt a little suffocated when she thought about it: "Then I can't just watch Wen Yue riding on my head, can I?"

Chen Baoqin was furious and felt that her daughter was really confused.

But there was no other way. She only had these two children in her life, and she couldn't just ignore them. Moreover, they were mother and daughter, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were one. If Wen Jiaqi did something wrong, others would think it was her teaching.

Chen Baoqin had no choice but to patiently say, "How can she ride on your head? In terms of status, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of a shipping tycoon, and she married a peasant. You are loved by your father, but she only comes back a few times a year."

Listening to her mother's words, Wen Jiaqi couldn't help but feel a little drifting, and nodded and said, "That's true."

"The only way she can suppress you is in verbal disputes. You should give in to her in this regard. It won't be too late to settle the score later, don't you think?"

After asking, without waiting for Wen Jiaqi to answer, Chen Baoqin said, "Your dad believes that family harmony leads to prosperity. She is not forgiving, and you don't argue with her. Your dad sees it. Who do you think he will favor?"

Wen Jiaqi pointed at herself and asked, "Me?"

"Yes, your daddy has always doted on you. If you behave well in the next few years, I will encourage you from the side. Maybe one day when he is happy, he will give you shares." Chen Baoqin said softly, "Although mommy loves your brother, she also loves you in her heart. It's just that I don't have the ability and I don't have any shares, so I can only let you fight for it by yourself. You won't blame mommy, right?"

"Of course not." Wen Jiaqi said with emotion, "I know mommy loves me."

"As for Wen Yue..."

Wen Jiaqi gritted her teeth: "I'll just give in to her!" After saying that, she remembered something and said gloatingly, "She made daddy lose face so much. I guess she can't be proud today!"

"She can't be proud, but you can't be too happy. Keep a normal mind, understand?"

"I know!"

Wen Jiaqi replied perfunctorily, and then rolled her eyes and said, "I'll go see if they have finished their discussion." After saying that, she stood up and hurried out.

...

After watching Wen Rongsheng finish his call to his assistant, Wen Yue left the study first.

Outside the study was a long corridor, and at the left end was the living room. Wen Yue just closed the door and turned around, and saw someone peeking around the corner.

Walking over with light steps, Wen Yue stood still in front of the corridor, waiting for someone to stick his head out before suddenly saying, "Ha!"

"Ah--"

After screaming, Wen Jiaqi, who had calmed down by patting his chest, recognized Wen Yue and immediately became angry and embarrassed: "Wen Yue, are you sick? Why do you have to hide here and scare people?"

Wen Yue asked without any guilt: "Didn't you sneak around here first?"

"What do you mean sneak around!" Wen Jiaqi raised her eyebrows, "That was, that was..."

Seeing that she was struggling to make up an excuse, Wen Yue took the initiative to say, "I know, you hid here to laugh at me."

"No--" Wen Jiaqi reacted before she finished speaking and denied, "I don't want to laugh at you, I'm just afraid that you will upset Daddy."

"Oh? Then you are really filial." Wen Yue sat on the sofa, leaned over and supported her chin with her hand, looking at Wen Jiaqi and said, "But unfortunately, you will be disappointed."

Wen Jiaqi frowned: "What?"

"Not only was Daddy not angry with me, we had a very pleasant conversation." Wen Yue smiled, as if she suddenly remembered something, and after a pause she added, "Oh, because we were so happy talking, Daddy decided to restore my pocket money."

"What?" Wen Jiaqi asked again, the expression on her face almost unable to be restrained.

Wen Yue did not explain. She shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't hear clearly. Dad just called his assistant and asked him to transfer money to me. It should be in the account soon."

The second half of the sentence was Wen Yue's own mumbling, but the living room was so small and Wen Jiaqi was not far away from her, so she naturally heard it all. Her expression turned blue and red, and then red and black. In the end, she couldn't help it anymore. She ignored her mother's admonition and went to Wen Rongsheng's study in her high heels.

As soon as Wen Jiaqi left, Chen Baoqin came down from the upstairs. Seeing that only Wen Yue was in the living room, she asked, "Where's Jiaqi?"

Wen Yue replied very kindly, "

She went to daddy's study." Chen Baoqin frowned slightly, "What did she do in your daddy's study?"

Wen Yue smiled slightly, "Maybe she felt unbalanced because she saw that I not only did not get scolded for exposing the scandal, but also got rewarded, so she went to complain to daddy."

Almost as soon as Wen Yue finished speaking, Wen Rongsheng's angry voice came from the study, "Wen Jiaqi! Get out of here!" Go!"

Soon, the sound of "tap tap" footsteps was heard again, from far away to near, until Wen Jiaqi appeared, ran to Wen Yue, pointed at her and asked with a jealous face: "Tell me! What kind of magic potion did you feed Daddy? Only then did he agree to restore your pocket money!"

Wen Yue was surprised to hear this: "He is my daddy, shouldn't he give me money? Do I need to feed him magic potion?"

Her matter-of-fact words made Wen Jiaqi, who did not get the money and was scolded, completely break down. She covered her face and ran upstairs crying.

Wen Yue picked up the cut fruit on the coffee table, took a bite and sighed to the melon-eating system: [So this person, it's useless to have age but no brains. 】

System: ...
