When the name Chen Yun was mentioned, Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu raised their eyes at the same time.
Wang Wenlong paused tactically and observed the reactions of the two men, as if he knew that he held a very valuable chip in his hand.
Combining the previous details, Zhang Moyan pondered for a few seconds and asked, "My biological mother has been here. Do you all know her?"
Although she used a question, the meaning was very definite.
"As for me, I've only met her," Wang Wenlong said slowly, pointing towards Wang Zhongguo. "The few people who know your mother are here."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Wang Zhongguo.
"Dad?" Xiao Wa exclaimed in surprise, "You know Chen Yun? Why didn't you tell me?"
Wang Zhongguo was caught off guard. He never expected that the topic would suddenly turn to himself. He didn't know how to respond, nor did he want to respond. He lowered his head and looked evasive.
But Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu both noticed it, and he did not deny it.
"Dad—" Xiao Wa pulled his father hard, "You really know Chen Yun, then you are really patient! No wonder you took it to heart when I told you about Brother Yu and Sister Mo Yan! Dad, please tell us..."
"Don't pull me," Wang Zhongguo said, shaking off Xiaowa's hand in disgust. He looked around and said something else, "When will you be able to calm down?"
It is obvious that Wang Zhongguo deliberately avoided the matter of knowing Chen Yun.
While Xiaowa was still trying to persuade his father, Zhang Moyan slowly stood up. She looked at Wang Zhongguo for a moment and took a step closer to him. "When did she come? What is she doing here?"
Her limited knowledge of her biological mother prompted her to ask these two questions cautiously.
"No..." Wang Zhongguo was about to deny it when Xiao Xingyu suddenly interrupted: "Was it twenty-six years ago?"
Wang Zhongguo was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and just because of this moment, he could no longer deny that he didn't know Chen Yun.
Xiao Xingyu smiled slightly: "I'm right."
He naturally intertwined his fingers, surveyed the situation, and decided to take a detour to ask Wang Zhongguo a less direct question: "I'm curious, since my mother-in-law has been to the Wang family before, why are you one of the few people who knew her, while Captain Wang can only have seen her?"
Zhang Moyan opened her eyes wide, her mind went blank for a moment as she looked at Xiao Xingyu, "Mother-in-law...how could she say it so fluently?"
Xiao Xingyu looked calm.
Wang Zhongguo pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Because she is very low-key and very distant from others. It seems that she doesn't want people to notice her."
"She didn't want anyone to notice her? ... Could it be that someone at the time could have diverted your attention for her?" Xiao Xingyu rubbed his chin with his index finger, thinking, "I wonder if that person was my second grandfather, Xiao Guoxi?"
As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly became quiet.
Wang Zhongguo opened his mouth to speak when Wang Wenlong suddenly shouted, "Wang Zhongguo!"
Poor Wang Zhongguo was so frightened that he choked on the air.
Zhang Moyan turned back unhappily, her eyes full of "Are you seriously ill?"
Wang Wenlong sat up straight and said, "Zhongguo, is this something you can talk about casually? Don't be confused. Your mother told us not to mention that matter to anyone. If the two young people want to understand the situation, it's best for them to ask the old lady."
Despite his size as a company executive, Wang Zhongguo possesses a kind heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have fathered a child as naive as Xiaowa. Rebuked by Wang Wenlong's words, he immediately stopped what he was about to say and offered Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu a helpless look. "Ah, that's indeed the case. It's not that I'm intentionally hiding this; it's simply that the state has its laws and the family has its rules. Please understand!"
Zhang Moyan knew she couldn't ask any further, so she simply kept silent.
Xiao Xingyu glanced at her icy face and wanted to help his wife get to the bottom of the matter, but he couldn't force her at the moment, so he had to mediate: "I understand. Since it's a family motto, we must not embarrass our elders. Mo Yan and I are both reasonable people. That's why we can be together. We don't force people to do things that are difficult for us."
Zhang Moyan needs to get used to Xiao Xingyu's style of telling others in both words and deeds how well-matched they are.
"That's great, but let's not get too carried away. Talking about the past won't affect our business, so let's get back to the point," Wang Wenlong resumed the conversation. "You offer 1.54 million to buy this porcelain jar, and my aunt and I will get the plum vase for you. I think a mere 1.54 million is like plucking a hair for my young and energetic nephew. It's not a big deal. After all, this may be related to the production technology of Tianqing glazed porcelain. Can you really let it go? If not for yourselves, you should also think about your parents and your ancestors. Did it have it easy for them?"
Zhang Moyan almost burst into a curse when she heard this, but luckily she was well-mannered and held it back. After all, her current qualities not only represent herself but also the Xiao family.
Xiao Xingyu leaned on the armrest and changed his posture, smiling slightly. "Captain Wang, I'm indeed a little tempted now that you mentioned that. But as you've just learned about our family's situation, I'm only responsible for making money. You should ask our manager about spending money." He turned to Zhang Moyan, "Moyan, what do you think?"
Zhang Moyan stared at Xiao Xingyu, trying to discern the sincerity of his "heartbeat." After a moment, she turned back to face Wang Wenlong and said calmly, "Captain Wang, this is just our first meeting. Do you have to make things so difficult for us? You're refusing to explain why you believe the plum vase contains a secret of azure glaze. Not only can we not believe it's true, I'm afraid even the Wang family members themselves may not confirm it."
She finally concluded: "You are asking us to gamble."
Xiao Xingyu looked at his wife with admiration, praise bursting from his sparkling eyes.
