But he probably never expected that someone was lurking right next to him, and he hadn't even noticed it, still placing high hopes on them... It would be a lie to say he wasn't upset.
"If you don't believe me, surely you can believe Xia Ke'an?"
Xu Shi also looked regretful, saying, "It was Xia Yuanhai's sister from back then; I only confirmed this matter thanks to her."
Wen Shengkui nodded. He certainly remembered Xia Ke'an. If it was her, even if it was hard to accept, it was still the truth.
"...Do what you want to do. I'm old and I can't do many things anymore."
The old man didn't know whether to be gratified or saddened. His eldest grandson was capable of standing on his own, but He Yuxia was also a source of spiritual support for him, like a family member.
For an elderly person in their seventies, betrayal must cause immense psychological trauma.
"Yes, I will give you an explanation."
Xu Shi felt inexplicably apologetic. "Then I'll be going now, and I'll come to see you again later... Butler Ning, I'm entrusting Grandpa's health to you."
"Don't worry, Chairman Xu."
"Alright, alright, I'm not that fragile."
Wen Shengkui gave each of them a flick on the forehead. "Finding out the situation is more important than anything else... Ning Wei, go prepare a car to send him back. I'll also see you off, you little bastard."
"Is it alright? Why don't you go back and rest?"
Xu Shi wasn't angry even after being beaten; at least his grandfather's mental fortitude was enough to put his mind at ease.
"If you say that again, I'll slap you."
Wen Shengkui made a move as if he was about to strike again.
"No, no, no, you should worry about yourself, okay?"
Xu Shi immediately backed down; he was a well-behaved child in front of his elders.
However.
Just as the group exchanged pleasantries and walked out of the "quill pen" door...
They saw Xie Qingyan and Ye Shanshan walking towards them, along with He Yuxia, who was bound hand and foot.
...
...
...
The atmosphere instantly became interesting.
The woman with the dog-like face had a smile on her face, and the curly-haired boy looked smug.
Butler Ning looked at Wen Shengkui, and the old man looked at his eldest grandson.
"...Miss He, how are you?"
Xu Shi blinked, then couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, "I haven't even had time to grow up yet! How come we're meeting again so soon?"
