Chapter 13 Yi Huai
When she went downstairs again, Chen Baoqin looked very unhappy.
She didn't expect her daughter to be so careless. Just 100,000 yuan would make her forget what she had just promised and go to Wen Rongsheng to make trouble.
If this wasn't her biological daughter, Chen Baoqin really didn't want to care.
But the reality is that she can't ignore it. Even if she doesn't consider the mother-daughter relationship and only looks at Wen Jiaqi's husband's family, she has to appease her.
On the surface, after the fourth room fell, the successor of the Wen family has been decided, and their third room can rest assured.
But Chen Baoqin knows that the people in the remaining two rooms of the Wen family are not easy to deal with.
Needless to say, Wen Yue, the only one left in the first house, was not considered that powerful before. But this time, she clearly embarrassed Wen Rongsheng, but not only was she not scolded, she also got her pocket money back after a few years of suspension.
The third house seems to have no desires and wants in hiding abroad, but Chen Baoqin has dealt with Xu Meifeng all her life and knows that this person is not as simple as she looks. The two daughters of the third house are also powerful. The younger one will behave well when she is a few years old, and the older one will work hard in her studies. They have always been the pride of Wen Rongsheng.
With these two houses eyeing her covetously, Chen Baoqin can only be more careful than before.
Although Wen Jiaqi's husband's family cannot influence Wen Rongsheng's decision, he will always be cautious when they are around.
So after going upstairs, Chen Baoqin took Wen Jiaqi's hand and talked to her about a lot of things, and at the same time promised to give her some pocket money from her private savings every month.
With this pocket money, Wen Jiaqi barely stopped crying, but she still felt unfair in her heart: "I just don't understand, we are both daddy's daughters, how can he be so partial? He gave Wen Yue shares and a building to collect rent, and now all the pocket money goes to her and not me!"
Chen Baoqin was of course also unbalanced in her heart, but she could only swallow her anger and said: "Precisely because your daddy is partial, you and your brother should be more united. She is a married daughter, and no matter how hard she fights, what she can get is limited. We have your brother in our family, as long as we hold back now, we will be the winner in the future."
Thinking of the fact that there was a male in her family, Wen Jiaqi felt better, and said bitterly: "I'm waiting to see what happens to her!"
Although she comforted Wen Jiaqi, it was difficult for Chen Baoqin to feel better when she thought about the extra expense every month in the future. When she walked down the stairs and saw Wen Yue sitting on the sofa, watching TV and eating fruit, her expression became even uglier.
Wen Jiaqi was shallow-minded and easily angered, but Chen Baoqin was not stupid. She could naturally see that Wen Yue had just deliberately provoked her daughter. But with Wen Rongsheng around, she couldn't lose her temper at Wen Yue. She could only ignore her existence and go straight to the study.
When she knocked on the door and went in, Wen Rongsheng was smoking a cigar, and the smell was a bit pungent.
But Chen Baoqin seemed not to notice it. She walked up to Wen Rongsheng with a normal expression and held his left hand that was casually placed on the table across the desk.
Through the smoke, Wen Rongsheng looked up at Chen Baoqin, took off his cigar, exhaled and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Baoqin said softly, "I came to see you."
"What's so good about me?" Wen Rongsheng pulled out his left hand, loosened his tie and said, "When you have time, you might as well pay more attention to Jiaqi. She's so aggressive, she doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family."
Although Chen Baoqin felt that Wen Jiaqi was losing her temper, it was indeed hard for her to laugh when she heard Wen Rongsheng say that. But she didn't dare to refute, so she could only say: "She has become a little bit strange in the past few years, but it can't be blamed on her. She is also bitter."
Wen Rongsheng frowned: "She and Yongkang quarreled again?"
Chen Baoqin sighed: "There are some misunderstandings..."
"What misunderstandings?"
"A reporter took a photo of Yongkang with a female star," Chen Baoqin said helplessly, "You also know that Jiaqi has an impatient personality. When she saw the newspaper, she naturally wanted to find Yongkang to clarify. As a result, the two of them quarreled last night, and Jiaqi drove back in anger."
Wen Rongsheng has always been hypocritical. He thinks it is a man's nature, but he is very unhappy that his son-in-law is having an affair with another woman. He said with a sullen face: "Call Lin Yongkang."
Chen Baoqin raised her eyes: "What did he say on the phone?"
"Let him apologize to Jiaqi!" Wen Rongsheng took a puff of his cigar. "If he doesn't want to live this life anymore, then forget it
. My daughter, Wen Rongsheng, will never have trouble finding a husband!" Chen Baoqin said this just to divert Wen Rongsheng's attention so that he wouldn't keep remembering Wen Jiaqi's disrespect towards him. She didn't mean to break up her daughter and son-in-law. Her face changed drastically when she heard this.
But she didn't dare to disobey Wen Rongsheng. After saying "I'll make the call now", she hesitated for a moment and said, "You also know that those media often write nonsense. In fact, Yongkang and that female star may not really have a relationship. I think he should apologize to Jiaqi after he comes to the house. There is no need to make trouble for both families. Don't you think so?"
Wen Rongsheng paused in smoking a cigar, and waved his hand after a few seconds: "Okay, you go make the call."
...
Yi Huai arrived at the Wen family at around six o'clock. At that time, Wen Yue was listening to the system report on the balance of eating melons.
The big melons that can be reminded by the system are indeed extraordinary. Although the system's melon-eating value account-entry broadcast this day is dense and sparse, it has never stopped. Even at the lowest time at three o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Yue has entered more than 7,000 melon-eating values.
As of six o'clock, the total melon-eating value she had deposited into her account that day was more than 165,000.
Moreover, Wen Yue estimated that there would be a small peak in the melon-eating value after dinner.
Office workers get off work around six o'clock, and when they get home, they will definitely communicate with their families. And those uncles and aunts, who have nothing to do after dinner, may get together to play chess and chat, and they may mention today's front-page headlines.
If everything goes well, the melon-eating value she deposited today may exceed 200,000, which is equivalent to more than four months of life value.
More than four months is not long, but compared with the number of days she has left to survive, it is definitely not short, and this is only the second bite of melon she has eaten. If every melon has this effect in the future, why should she worry about not living to the new century?
After calculating the melon-eating value, the system asked attentively: [Host, do you need me to help you exchange the melon-eating value for life value? ]
Wen Yue discovered that the melon-eating system she was bound to was still a double-faced person. It called "you" when it wanted something, and "you" when it didn't.
Tsk.
But she was generous and didn't argue with the system. After consideration, she said: [First, exchange it for 100 days of remaining life. ]
[You have 165,500 melon-eating values remaining. Are you sure you only want to exchange it for 100 days of life value? ]
Wen Yue replied: [Yes, exchange it for 100 days first. ]
[Okay. ] The system said disappointedly, and after a few operations, it said, [I have exchanged 100 days of life value for you. Your current melon-eating value balance is 21,500. 】
【Ding——You have new melon-eating value credited to your account! 】
The mechanical system prompt sound disappeared, and the system started to yell: [Ah! The male lead is here! ]
[Which male lead? ]
[Of course it's the original male lead, your current husband, Yi Huai! ]
After the system introduction, the sound of a car came from outside. Wen Yue looked out of the French window and saw a black car drove to the door and parked, and then the door was opened.
Because of the wall, Wen Yue couldn't see what the person who got out of the car looked like, but the identity system had already said it, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
It's not that the young wife is shy to see her husband, but she is a little worried about the male lead's appearance.
Normally, whether the male lead is handsome or not has nothing to do with her. Although Wen Rongsheng wants to match them up, she thinks it's not so easy to succeed.
At this point, we have to first mention the separation of the original body and the male protagonist.
The original body and Yi Huai were a pure business marriage. The difference was that Yi Huai was proactive for the sake of interests, while the original body was forced to marry for the shares held by Wen Rongsheng in her name and reluctant to return after she came of age, so she was full of resentment when she got married. It is natural that you
can't live a good life if you get married with resentment. In the original book, they had a quarrel before entering the bridal chamber after the wedding.
The next day, Yi Huai's company in the mainland had an accident, and he left in a hurry and was gone for half a month. The original body was not satisfied with him in the first place, and seeing that he was not returning for a long time, she packed up her things in a rage and moved into the Repulse Bay villa.
The two separated for three years.
During these three years, Yi Huai went to Repulse Bay to take over the original body, but he did so for the sake of solidifying the cooperation, and his purpose was very strong. The original body was not willing to enter into the marriage, and after realizing his purpose, she felt that he was profit-driven, so naturally she was unwilling to go back with him. It was not
until the second year of marriage that they reluctantly reached an agreement, and from then on they became a plastic couple who were not in harmony with each other.
For more than a year afterwards, Yi Huai no longer tried to take her back and paid her on time, and she did not mention divorce, which affected the cooperation between Yi Sheng and Li Rong.
Based on the above information, we can basically judge Yi Huai's character. He is indeed very profit-driven, and he only cares about work and not feelings. Moreover, he does not care much about face, otherwise he would not have allowed the original body to live in the villa in Repulse Bay.
Don't blame the reason on the original body's strong character. No matter how strong the original body was, didn't she still agree to the marriage when Wen Rongsheng asked her to? With the help of Wen Rongsheng, it would not be too easy for Yi Huai to bring the original body back.
The two have been separated until now, and the reason can only be Yi Huai's indulgence.
And his indulgence just proves that he doesn't care. He doesn't care about his face and this marriage.
Maybe at the beginning of the marriage, he didn't care about this marriage so much, so he went to pick up the original body several times in the first year of separation, but he gave up because of repeated failures, or maybe his pride didn't allow him to bow his head again, so he and the original body have kept their distance from each other until now.
No matter which possibility it is, Wen Yue doesn't think that Yi Huai will be easily manipulated by Wen Rongsheng, and he will happily treat her as a real couple when he sees her bow her head.
Wen Yue didn't plan to be a real couple with Yi Huai right away. What she wanted was to find a balance in the cooperation between Wen Rongsheng and Yi Huai, and it would be best if she could get the protection of the two bosses without paying anything.
But ideals and reality often deviate. What if Yi Huai is willing to listen to Wen Rongsheng's arrangements for the sake of interests, or changes his mind after a long time of contact and wants to be a real couple with her?
Can she ignore it and refuse it?
Based on this possibility, Wen Yue thinks that Yi Huai's appearance is still very important to her. It doesn't matter if he is handsome, but what if he looks ordinary but very confident...
As a beauty lover, Wen Yue thinks that eating melons is worth it, and she doesn't have to live a hundred years.
