Chapter 521 Is Ayin in great danger now?
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Wen looked puzzled.
"Dad, what are you talking about, divorce?" Mrs. Wen stepped forward and asked softly, "Are you confused? Jingxi just got married to that girl, and you were urging us to come over and discuss the wedding. Why are you talking about divorce now?"
"Ask him yourself." Old Master Wen pointed at Wen Jingxi, "Ask him how much this dutiful son has been hiding from us! He's grown up, and he's very opinionated. I'm old and can't control him anymore. Since he's unwilling to divorce, then I'm not going to live either. How can I live with the face of raising such a disgraceful descendant who doesn't care about the family's reputation!"
This was clearly said in anger, but the old man isn't unreasonable; there must be a hidden reason!
Wen Jingxi stood at the foot of the bed, head down, without saying a word.
Wen's mother rarely saw him with such a pained and distressed expression, and she vaguely felt that something serious had happened.
But there are too many people around right now, so it's not a good time to ask questions.
Wen's mother gave Wen's father a wink.
Mr. Wen immediately understood and said to the others, "The old man needs to rest, why don't we discuss this somewhere else?"
The others nodded and followed Mr. Wen out of the ward.
The ward door closed.
Only Wen's mother and Wen Jingxi remained.
Wen's mother walked up to Wen Jingxi and asked softly, "Jingxi, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Wen Jingxi knew that he could no longer hide the truth, so he simply confessed.
After listening, Wen's mother remained silent for more than half a minute before letting out a heavy sigh: "Jingxi, in the past, whatever you did, your parents would always stand by your side. Your grandfather always said that my husband and I spoiled you too much, but we just felt that we were busy with official duties all year round, and we didn't want to restrict you any longer during the rare time we spent with you. Over the years, your grandfather has raised you to be very excellent and sensible, and we are very gratified, but this time..."
Mrs. Wen sighed heavily, "You really went too far this time. You know that what Grandpa values most is the reputation and integrity of our Wen family. Your grandfather wasn't very supportive of Xiao Song being of Chinese descent, but he compromised because you like him."
Wen Jingxi looked at her mother, her eyes glistening with tears. "But Mom, Ayin is Chinese. She was adopted from Nancheng and taken abroad. She was a minor at the time. She was sold to the organization and forced to join as a mercenary. None of this is her fault!"
“Of course we know it’s not her fault, but do you know what it means to have Chinese citizenship combined with her status as a mercenary?”
"She's already broken away from the organization!" Wen Jingxi roared, unable to contain himself any longer. "How many times do I have to say it! Ah Yin doesn't belong to any organization anymore. She faked her death to escape! The identity of Song Lanyin has nothing to do with her past!"
Upon hearing this, Wen's mother pursed her lips.
Actually, she could understand Wen Jingxi's feelings.
Indeed, by faking her death and escaping the organization, her identity has changed. If nothing unexpected happens, Song Lanyin's identity will not be tainted by her past.
But who can guarantee that there will never be an unexpected event?
"If changing your identity really could erase your past identity, then I wouldn't have received that phone call today."
Grandpa Wen looked at Wen Jingxi and said, "Jingxi, Grandpa is old, but Grandpa is not senile. The person who called me today must have found out about Song girl's background. Grandpa wants you to divorce her, not only because our Wen family cannot accept a mercenary, but also for your sake and for the sake of our entire Wen family!"
Wen Jingxi was stunned.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Wen's mother instantly understood.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, her expression turned grave: "Jingxi, what if the person who called your grandfather today was Xiao Song's enemy? You know how many people she offended in the past as a mercenary. They are all desperate criminals. It's perfectly normal for them to kill innocent people and take their anger out on family and friends in order to get revenge!"
Wen Jingxi's face turned deathly pale. He stared blankly at his mother, his mind a complete mess.
If it really is Ah Yin's enemies who have come knocking on her door, then is Ah Yin being targeted now?
Is Ah Yin in danger now?
Wen Jingxi shook his head, "No, Ayin said that she has been living under a new identity for many years after leaving the organization, and nothing unexpected has ever happened to her. How could it happen at this time... No, she can't be that unlucky!"
"Jingxi." Mother Wen stepped forward, gently stroking her son's cold, pale face, her eyes filled with pity. "I know you're having a hard time accepting this, but if something really happens, do you want the entire Wen family to gamble with you?"
Wen Jingxi was speechless.
Grandpa Wen's eyesight was failing, and he couldn't see his grandson's expression clearly, but he knew that his grandson was deeply in love with Song Lanyin.
However, the fact that Song Lanyin had worked as a mercenary posed too great a risk for the Wen family.
It's not just about the Wen family's innocence and reputation, but also about the safety of the entire family.
Those desperados are not people they can afford to mess with!
Old Master Wen knew he had to harden his heart and push Wen Jingxi!
“If you can’t tell her about the divorce yourself, then I will do it for her.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingxi looked at Old Master Wen, his brows furrowed, his eyes bloodshot. This was the first time in his life he had ever shown his grandfather such a cold face: "You're just afraid of implicating the entire Wen family, fine, Ayin and I will leave the Wen family, and you can announce to the public that I'm severing ties with the Wen family..."
"You scoundrel!" Old Master Wen roared, "You think they'll let us off the hook just because you say you're severing ties? Wen Jingxi, you've been too well protected; you have no idea how serious this is! Anyway, I'm making this clear today: you and she must divorce! If you don't, then I won't treat you anymore. I raised such an unfilial descendant; I'll personally go down and apologize to the ancestors of the Wen family..."
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Wen frowned at the old man. "Even if you're angry, you shouldn't say such things. The doctor said you're still in good health. It's just a minor heart problem that can be fixed with minimally invasive surgery. Don't keep saying you're not going to get treatment. It's bad luck."
"Don't try to persuade me!" Old Master Wen frowned. "My stance is clear: you divorce her and cut all ties completely before I have the surgery. If you insist on being with her, then consider me your grandfather who never raised you! The Wen family has no place for an unfilial descendant like you!"
Upon hearing this, Wen's mother was at a loss for words.
She couldn't bear to make things difficult for her son, but Old Master Wen was right; Song Lanyin was like a ticking time bomb for the Wen family.
"Dad, you're still weak, so please rest first. I'll talk to Jingxi properly later."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen fell silent.
"Jingxi." Wen's mother looked at Wen Jingxi and beckoned to him, "We won't disturb Grandpa's rest any longer. Come out with me."
