Chapter 14 The Second Bite of Melon

"Yi Sheng!"

Butler Xu came to meet Yi Huai before he entered the room. He seemed to be unaware that his original body and Yi Huai were a fake couple. He smiled and mentioned Wen Yue, "The second young lady is here too. Are you here to see her?"

Yi Huai did not respond. He said in a low voice, "Dad called me and asked me to come over for dinner."

As they spoke, the two walked to the door.

The first to enter was a pair of long legs wrapped in suit pants, followed by a thin waist and broad shoulders outlined by a fitted suit.

Finally, the face.

It was an angular face with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, a high nose and thin lips. The appearance was too handsome, and the temperament was too cold and hard.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wen Yue sitting on the sofa. There was no special emotion in her eyes. She just nodded slightly and called out in a somewhat formal way: "A Yue."

Wen Yue was not nervous at once. The reason was simple. She was very satisfied with this face. Even if he wanted to make a real move in the future, she probably would not resist.

The most worrying thing was solved, and the initiative was back in her hands again.

Wen Yue was in a good mood, so she smiled and replied: "A Huai."

As soon as the voice fell, Wen Yue saw a trace of surprise in Yi Huai's eyes. She was wondering in her heart, and then she heard the system in her mind shouting: [Wrong, wrong! The original body never called the male protagonist like this. ]

[Then how did she call him? ]

[She called Yi Huai by his full name and surname, and she also called him by his surname Yi. ]

[Oh.

Wen Yue responded, but she was not nervous. As long as she didn't say anything, who would know that she was OOC? Obviously

, Yi Huai was not prepared to explore more, and he didn't plan to communicate more with his wife standing in front of him. He asked "Where is Dad?" and was led to the study by Butler Xu.

Yi Huai had just left when Wen Jiaqi came downstairs. Seeing that Wen Yue was the only one in the living room, she asked knowingly, "Isn't your husband here? Why are you alone here? Oh, he went to the study to find daddy. But you haven't seen each other for a long time, right? How come you didn't talk much when you met? Is your relationship so bad that you can't even exchange a few words?"

Wen Yue suspected that Wen Jiaqi was a type of Gray Wolf, so every time she saw her, she couldn't help but pick a fight with her. It would be fine if she could get what she wanted, but she was not as good as her in both literary and martial arts fighting, and she didn't learn her lesson.

Wen Yue nodded seriously: "Our relationship is indeed not as good as yours and Lin Yongkang's. After all, you two are so good that he doesn't need to wipe his mouth when he cheats." Wen

Jiaqi had a quarrel with Lin Yongkang

and went back to her parents' home because she saw the news that Lin Yongkang went to a hotel with a female star to spend the night. Naturally, she couldn't stand hearing such words. Her expression changed drastically and she shouted: "Wen Yue!" "Yeah, I'm listening." Wen Yue said, pretending to pick her ear with her little finger.

Seeing her like this, Wen Jiaqi once again threw her mother's admonitions behind her and said loudly: "How do you think you are better than me? No matter how bad Yongkang is, he is the eldest son of the shipping magnate and will inherit the family business in the future. Even if he cheats outside, he dare not make trouble in front of me. As long as I am here, those women will never be able to enter the Lin family! Only I will be the mistress of the Lin family!"

After praising her own man, Wen Jiaqi said again. Enumerating Yi Huai's shortcomings: "And the mainland boy you married is just a peasant who didn't even graduate from junior high school. He made some money by luck, so you really think he is capable? I tell you, even if he works hard all his life, his career will never be able to catch up with the Lin family's! But you can't even control such a nouveau riche. You've been separated for three years after three years of marriage. Do you think you're so great? Don't you know that you and your wife have long been a laughing stock?"

[She is not worthy of being the mistress of the Lin family!]

Hearing the voice of the system, Wen Yue's expression paused: [What do you mean?]

The system replied: [Lin Yongkang, like Wen Jiaqi, bought his way into a prestigious school. He is not cut out for business. After joining the company, he made several big mistakes. The shipping magnate was very disappointed in him, so he gave most of his shares to the son of the second wife. The couple lives on dividends. 】

【Tsk! 】

These Hong Kong tycoons, there really aren't many good people!

But Wen Yue didn't sympathize with the eldest wife of the Lin family. She just looked at Wen Jiaqi, who was getting more and more proud, and said, "I don't know whether Yi Huai's family business, which he has fought for all his life, can catch up with the Lin family, but I know that if your husband continues to make mistakes, whether you can be the mistress of the Lin family is a question."

Wen Jiaqi, who was stabbed in the wound, shouted helplessly again: "Wen Yue!"

But this time, before Wen Yue opened her mouth, Wen Rongsheng's voice came from the corridor: "What are you doing yelling at home?" As soon as

the voice fell, Wen Rongsheng and Yi Huai walked out of the corridor side by side. The former frowned, and the latter had a stern face. He just stood still and glanced at Wen Yue calmly.

It happened that Wen Yue also looked at the two people in the direction of the voice, and when he looked over, his eyes met his.

Although Wen Yue didn't intend to rush him too much, Yi Huai was her backer after all, so it wouldn't be good to be too cold. After meeting his gaze, she smiled politely.

Who knew that after seeing her smile, Yi Huai not only didn't respond, but also frowned and turned his head away silently.

Wen Yue shrugged. It seemed that Yi Huai disliked her more than she thought!

It's okay, as long as Yi Huai doesn't mention divorce, her plan will not be affected. Getting along harmoniously is what Wen Rongsheng needs to worry about.

While Wen Yue was thinking, Wen Jiaqi finally came up with a reason and forced a smile, "My second sister and I are cultivating our relationship."

Hearing Wen Jiaqi talking about herself, Wen Yue quickly came to her senses and asked, "There is only killing each other and no love?"

Wen Jiaqi's face froze, and Wen Rongsheng's face sank, "What are you talking about!" He didn't scold his two daughters, but just asked Butler Xu to call Chen Baoqin to eat.

Three minutes later, the group moved to the dining room.

As expected of a large family, the dining room is not small, at least four or five hundred feet, and the dining table is rectangular and can accommodate nearly twenty people for dinner.

Wen Rongsheng sat in the main bathroom, Chen Baoqin and her daughter sat on his left, and Wen Yue and Yi Huai sat on his right.

After they sat down, Wen Rongsheng remembered that someone was missing, and frowned and asked, "Yongkang hasn't come yet?"

Chen Baoqin had noticed this a long time ago, but she didn't mention it because she was afraid that Wen Rongsheng would be unhappy. Now that he noticed it, she quickly defended her son-in-law, "Mr. Lin recently arranged for Yongkang to go to the branch company for training, and he just went there. The director needs time, and you also know that the Hong Kong River is congested, so he must have time to come after work."

This statement may fool outsiders, but those who know Lin Yongkang's character will not believe it.

Yes, he is new to the company and is so busy that he is late for dinner at his father-in-law's house. He has time to flirt with female stars and appear in the newspapers!

But Chen Baoqin wants to cover up for Lin Yongkang, so Wen Rongsheng can't say anything, so he just asked, "How is he doing in the company? Has he made any mistakes?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiaqi knew that he must have heard what Wen Yue had just said, and she pouted and said, "Of course not! Yongkang is a top student who returned from studying abroad. How could he not do such a simple thing as running a company? Daddy, don't listen to what some people say!"

As she spoke, she glared at Wen Yue.

Wen Yue was not someone who would accept being glared at for nothing. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "

Did you have a cramp in your eye?" Wen Jiaqi raised her eyebrows and said, "You have a cramp in your eye!"

"Why are you rolling your eyes at me if you don't have a cramp?" Wen Yue asked and then looked at Wen Rongsheng, "Daddy, can we have dinner now? Or should we wait for the busy man to arrive?"

It was Lin Yongkang's fault that he had an affair with a female star and made his wife angry and go back to her parents' home. If Wen Jiaqi hadn't been annoying at home, Wen Rongsheng would never have taken the initiative to ask Chen Baoqin to call Lin Yongkang to pick her up.

Although the Wen family was not in a weak position in this way, it was still a level higher than if Lin Yongkang realized his mistake or was forced by the shipping tycoon and his wife to pick someone up.

Therefore, Wen Rongsheng was dissatisfied with his son-in-law Lin Yongkang. Moreover, they had given him a platform, but Lin Yongkang still dared to be late. His dissatisfaction naturally swelled.

Wen Rongsheng said with a dark face: "What are you waiting for! Let's eat first!"

Wen Jiaqi hurriedly called: "Daddy!"

"What? Do you think he is a busy man?" Wen Rongsheng asked unhappily, "If he doesn't come, we can't eat?"

Chen Baoqin hurriedly held her daughter's hand under the table, took the responsibility on herself and said: "This is all my fault. I didn't tell you clearly when to eat on the phone. But Yongkang is not an outsider. Let's start first and leave some food for him. Don't be too particular." As he spoke

, housekeeper Xu arranged for the servants to serve the dishes one after another.

The Wen family is the richest family, so they naturally live a luxurious life. Especially since Wen Rongsheng had been away on business for a long time, this dinner was even more sumptuous, with sea cucumbers, shark fins, and tripe, and many of them were airlifted from abroad.

Not to mention, although the original body was also a top-notch white, rich, and beautiful woman with millions of pocket money every month, her expenses were also high, and her food was not so luxurious.

Wen Yue had only eaten a few more meals of seafood abalone in the past few days, and they were all produced in the coastal areas.

While listening to the system explain the origin of the ingredients, Wen Yue tried these top-quality ingredients.

To be honest, maybe because she was poor and suddenly rich, her taste buds were not very sensitive. She did not think the champagne crabs imported from Australia were much better than the crabs caught near the coast, and the wagyu beef shipped from Kobe was not much more tender than the domestic beef she had eaten in her previous life.

But they were all delicacies after all, and Wen Yue was still very happy eating them.

The more Chen Baoqin and her daughter ate, the worse their faces became, because Lin Yongkang did not come until the end of the meal.

If Chen Baoqin could still use being busy and traffic jams to make excuses for Lin Yongkang before the meal, these excuses seemed pale after dark.

They were all worried that Wen Rongsheng would get angry.

Wen Rongsheng was of course unhappy, but he was too lazy to mention Lin Yongkang. After putting down his chopsticks, he only said to Wen Yue and Yi Huai: "Come with me to the study." Here they

come.

Wen Yue thought in her heart, and without hesitation, she stood up and went to the study at the same time as Yi Huai.

Entering the study, Wen Rongsheng said straight to the point: "I know there is a misunderstanding between you, but you are already married, and you can't keep living apart like this, so I thought, if you don't object, how about living together from tonight?"

Obviously, Wen Rongsheng and Yi Huai had reached an agreement on this matter, so although he asked the two of them, he was mainly looking at Wen Yue.

Yi Huai's answer also confirmed this point. He said, "I listen to Dad."

Not to mention that Wen Yue was counting on Yi Huai to protect her after she had a good relationship with him, she couldn't possibly object to the 500,000 yuan per month promised by Wen Rongsheng, so she said, "I have no problem with that." Wen

Rongsheng said, "Okay, then you can go back with Huai later, and we'll find someone to move the luggage tomorrow."

Wen Yue's lips twitched slightly, thinking how worried Wen Rongsheng was that she would change her mind when she returned, but she didn't ask directly, but nodded happily: "Okay."

The three of them reached a consensus, and Wen Rongsheng was also fine. After getting over this matter, his wrinkled brows relaxed and he said earnestly: "Although your personalities and growth experiences are different, I know you are both good kids. I also hope that after living together, you can be more patient with each other and live a good life."

Wen Yue was rebellious when she was alone with Wen Rongsheng, but in front of Yi Huai, she was still willing to give Wen Rongsheng face, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry."

Yi Huai also responded: "I know."

Since the two of them cooperated, even if Wen Rongsheng did not plan to keep them for more, he would personally send them out.

As soon as she arrived at the living room, Wen Yue saw a car parked at the door. Chen Baoqin's enthusiastic voice came from outside: "Yongkang, you are here?" After getting a reply, she rushed into the living room and shouted, "Jiaqi, Yongkang is here to pick you up!"

Wen Jiaqi, who was sitting on the sofa, looked unhappy. She was angry about Lin Yongkang's scandal with a female star, and then she thought that he was late to make her embarrassed in front of her father and Wen Yue. Not only did she not get up, she also shouted outside: "Get him out!"

"How can you talk like that!" Chen Baoqin was furious, and then she lowered her voice and said, "Yongkang, don't mind it. Jiaqi is sad. You just need to comfort her."

"Don't worry, Mommy, I know." Lin Yongkang sighed, "I was wrong this time. It was a company dinner that day, and I just said a few words to him by chance. Who knew that it would be photographed by paparazzi and cause misunderstanding."

Lin Yongkang was photographed in a hotel. This explanation is pure lies, but it is obvious that Chen Baoqin is willing to be blind and seems to have no idea that something is wrong. She smiled and said, "I know that you are a decent person, Yongkang, and you would not do such a thing. There must be a misunderstanding. You should talk to Jiaqi later, and I will persuade her."

After speaking, she remembered, "Oh, I was so busy talking that I forgot to let you in. Let's stop standing at the door and talk inside."

As Chen Baoqin finished speaking, Wen Yue saw her leading a man in his early thirties in.

[Ding - there is a melon! 】

As soon as the system prompt ended, the system's voice could not wait to sound in Wen Yue's mind: [Wow! Lin Yongkang is not the biological son of the shipping tycoon! 】

Wen Yue's eyebrows moved slightly: [Wow! Then is it really impossible for Wen Jiaqi to become the mistress of the Lin family in this life? 】

However...

looking at Lin Yongkang, who is suspected of being an illegitimate child, and then looking at Wen Rongsheng who was revealed to be a father, Wen Yue fell into deep thought:

Although the matter is welcome, is the proportion of cuckolds in the Hong Kong wealthy families in this original world too high?

What is the original author's hobby?
