Chapter 505 Just Be Yourself
Why are the Yu family members here too?
Today was supposed to be the day he brought Song Lanyin home to formally visit Grandpa Wen, just as they had agreed on last night.
Could it be that Grandpa did this on purpose?
Wen Jingxi tightened his grip on Song Lanyin's hand slightly.
Song Lanyin knew he was angry.
She gently shook Wen Jingxi's hand.
Wen Jingxi looked down at her.
Their eyes met, and Song Lanyin smiled slightly at her, "Don't worry, it might just be a coincidence."
Wen Jingxi frowned, his voice low, "If this was arranged by Grandpa on purpose, I will take you away."
Song Lanyin was taken aback, "It's not that bad..."
"As for it," Wen Jingxi said firmly, "I will not let you suffer any injustice because of me."
Song Lanyin's heart skipped a beat.
Wen Jingxi looked at her, tightened his grip on Song Lanyin's hand, his eyes deep and firm. "Ayin, don't wrong yourself because of me, and don't have any concerns. If being together means you have to compromise and accommodate my family, then I will feel like a failure. No matter when, no matter who you are facing, you just need to be yourself."
Song Lanyin's heart was burning, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface, "Do you also act like myself when you're with your family?"
“Of course, you’re going to spend your whole life with me. Are you going to force yourself to act and endure just to please my family?” Wen Jingxi said, glancing at Old Master Wen. “My grandfather isn’t a bad person. Don’t worry, just be yourself. He’ll realize how good you are sooner or later. If he doesn’t, I’ll get him a pair of reading glasses.”
Song Lanyin: "..."
Grandpa Wen: "...?" You brat, you're getting old and your eyesight isn't what it used to be!
Song Lanyin pursed her lips, curled the corners of her mouth, and nodded. "Okay, since you've said so, then I'll be myself."
"Just be yourself." Wen Jingxi smiled. "What I love is you as a person. I like your most authentic self. If you're really going to put on a fake act for some unrelated people, then I'll be angry!"
Wen Jingxi didn't lower his voice, so everyone in the living room heard him.
Yu Xin and the noblewoman opposite her exchanged a glance, both of them showing surprise and dissatisfaction.
Yu Yashi just stared blankly at Wen Jingxi, her eyes filled with disbelief and sadness.
Wen Jingxi disregarded even his grandfather's wishes for Song Lanyin's sake.
He even taught Song Lanyin to be herself and not to wrong herself in front of Grandpa Wen.
Yu Yashi lowered her head, her hands resting on her knees, tightly gripping the hem of her skirt.
Wen Jingxi truly loves Song Lanyin; her presence here today is nothing short of a joke!
...
Grandpa Wen stared at Wen Jingxi, his old eyes filled with complex emotions.
He didn't get angry; he simply turned his gaze to Song Lanyin's face.
Song Lanyin happened to look over as well.
Their eyes met.
Song Lanyin remained calm and gave Grandpa Wen a slight nod: "Grandpa Wen, I'm sorry I didn't know you had guests. If it's inconvenient, I can come another day."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen coughed lightly, "No need for such trouble. Mrs. Yu and her two daughters just happened to be in Beicheng today and came to see me knowing I was here."
Song Lanyin smiled and said, "So that's how it is. What a coincidence! I just thought that you, Grandpa Wen, had deliberately notified them to come over."
Old Master Wen: "..."
Yu Xin snorted coldly, "Miss Song, can't you speak properly? Are you implying that Grandpa Wen deliberately called us over to put you in a bad light?"
"If Grandpa Wen says no, then I believe him."
Old Master Wen: "..."
Yu Xin: "What a joke! What can you do if you don't believe me?"
"There's nothing you can do about it." Song Lanyin looked at Yu Xin calmly. "It's like how Teacher Wen publicly admitted that I was his girlfriend, and what could you do about it?"
Yu Xin: "..."
Song Lanyin looked at Yu Yashi and said, "Miss Yu, I thought you would pass on what I said to you in the studio that day to your sister, but now it seems that you have reached a consensus with your sister in just a few days?"
“I…” Yu Yashi raised her head, frowned as she looked at Song Lanyin, “Miss Song, we’re just here to see Grandpa Wen, we have no other intentions.”
Song Lanyin didn't speak, but just looked at Yu Yashi with a faint smile.
Yu Yashi felt guilty under her gaze and avoided her eyes.
"Grandpa Wen, this Miss Song is so assertive and aggressive. If Teacher Wen really marries her, not to mention her background is not presentable, her personality alone will likely offend many people and make a fool of your Wen family!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen's face darkened.
Seeing this, Yu Xin felt even more that Old Master Wen looked down on Song Lanyin, and became even more unscrupulous.
“I’ve checked. She’s an orphan and of Chinese descent. She also doesn’t seem to have had a proper job all these years. She might be after your Wen family’s assets.”
"Yu Xin, watch your mouth!" Wen Jingxi stepped forward, looking coldly at Yu Xin. "This isn't your Yu family home, this isn't a place to flaunt your powerful woman status!"
"I'm doing this for the good of your Wen family, Teacher Wen. It's normal to date, but if you really want to marry a woman like this, you're gambling with the glory and prosperity of your Wen family!"
Wen Jingxi was furious and about to speak when Song Lanyin interrupted, "Yu Xin, you seem to have forgotten that the Wen family's surname is Wen, not Yu!"
Yu Xin was taken aback.
"You all know that Teacher Wen already has a partner, yet you still try to sow discord in front of Grandpa Wen. You say I'm doing this because of the Wen family's background, but what about you? You know that there's absolutely no affection between Yu Yashi and Teacher Wen, yet you still relentlessly try to get them together. What? Is your Yu family facing a financial crisis? Do you need the three of you, mother and daughters, to come out and shamelessly promote yourselves?"
"What nonsense are you spouting..."
"Yu Xin." The noblewoman who had been sitting opposite her without speaking interrupted Yu Xin, her tone stern, "This is not the Yu family home, so you should control your temper."
Yu Xin was unwilling, but since her mother had already spoken, she could only angrily shut her mouth.
Madam Yu looked at Old Master Wen and said calmly, "Old Master, I'm sorry, Yu Xin has always been like this, I hope you can understand."
Old Master Wen frowned slightly and waved his hand. “Forget it, I’m old. I can’t control the feelings of these young people. I only have one grandson, Jingxi. As you can see, he has a very strong will. I really can’t persuade him. Go back and tell Old Master Yu that this time our Wen family has wronged your Third Miss Yu. I will have someone send him a painting as a token of my apology.”
"You flatter me, sir. Since the children are not meant to be, we really can't force it."
As she spoke, Madam Yu stood up and looked at Yu Xin and Yu Yashi, "You two say goodbye to the old man."
Yu Xin reluctantly stood up. "Grandpa Wen, we'll be leaving now. Ya Shi and I will come to see you again when we have time."
Grandpa Wen responded indifferently; he also disliked Yu Xin's personality.
"Grandpa Wen, I'm sorry to bother you." Yu Yashi looked at Grandpa Wen and said in a very low voice.
Grandpa Wen doesn't like Yu Xin, but he does have a good impression of Yu Yashi.
"Second Miss, you are very outstanding. It's just that our Wen family has no affinity with you. You are so wonderful, you will definitely meet someone who is truly right for you."
Yu Yashi, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, obediently nodded.
Madam Yu led Yu Xin and Yu Yashi outside.
As she passed by Song Lanyin, Madam Yu suddenly stopped.
She looked at Song Lanyin with an undisguised scrutiny in her eyes.
