"How is it?" Wen Yi looked at Xiao Chen with an expectant expression.
"It's delicious. This is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten." Xiao Chen took a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Then eat more." Wen Yi's heart finally settled down.
She picked up some food and poured soup for Xiao Chen, filling his bowl to the brim.
"Well, Wen Yi's cooking skills have really improved a lot." Old Man Wen was beaming with joy. God knows, this was the first time in decades that he was willing to eat food cooked by his family.
"Dad, you eat too." Wen Wan smiled, turned her head away and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
This was considered a family dinner, but unfortunately Xiao Gucheng was missing.
But this was already the most relaxing meal the Wen family had had in the past decade.
Laughter and joyful chatter could be heard from the dining table from time to time. When everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, an unexpected guest arrived.
Xiao Wanli came to the door.
Seeing Xiao Chen here, and the Wen family members sitting together with Xiao Chen, having a great time like a family, Xiao Wanli couldn't help but frown.
He was a little unhappy because in his opinion, Xiao Chen was his grandson.
Now Xiao Chen’s relationship with him can be said to have reached freezing point. Why is he so close to the Wen family?
Moreover, Xiao Chen's abilities have gradually been revealed.
The popularity of Chenhai Group has led to in-depth cooperation with defense, aerospace and other industries.
Although the company was established less than two months ago, its valuation is already several times higher than that of several companies under the Xiao family that have been operating for decades.
Now he has begun to think about making friends with Xiao Chen and wants to find an opportunity to welcome Xiao Chen back to the Xiao family, but there has never been a good opportunity.
But if the Wen family seized the opportunity earlier, wouldn’t he lose this outstanding descendant in the future?
"What's the matter with you?" Old Man Wen looked extremely unhappy.
Xiao Wanli came at a really bad time. No one at the table liked him.
This guy's coming here is simply ruining everyone's mood.
"Let me see Wen Yi." Xiao Wanli temporarily put aside his inner thoughts and said with a smile, "Let's see how she recovers."
"Don't worry about this matter, Patriarch Xiao. My sister is recovering well." Wen Wan said sarcastically, "What you should be worried about is your precious son Xiao Yuecheng's rapid rise to prominence."
"Your Xiao family has gained so much merit because of that illegitimate child. How can your family move to a higher level, right?"
Xiao Wanli's face couldn't help but darken. He had experienced Wen Wan's sarcasm more than ten years ago.
But he had no choice, Wen Wan was a fearless person.
He forced a smile: "After all...Wen Yi is still my daughter-in-law, I..."
"Master Xiao, please don't say that again." Elder Wen said coldly, "You have been wary of my Wen Yi all these years."
"I'm afraid that the Wen family's official office in Yanjing will take advantage of your Xiao family."
"Your Xiao family has not fulfilled any of their responsibilities as in-laws. This marriage has long been dead in name only."
"When Xiao Gucheng comes back, we'll find Old Master Zhang and put an end to this matter."
"In-laws, there are some misunderstandings between us, and the children also have feelings for each other." Xiao Wanli's face changed.
"When Gu Cheng comes back, let's sit down and have a good talk. We still have to go on with our lives. We can't just break up the whole family because of that incident, right?"
"For you, the past is over, right?" Wen Yi suddenly raised her head.
Her hands were shaking, her eyes were red and full of tears.
"You can go over there because you've always been a cold-blooded person, but I can't."
"I carried this child for ten months and brought him into this world with great difficulty. I will never get over the fact that he is lost."
"Now that Xiao Gucheng has returned this time, let's end things. If he doesn't face up to what happened, then we'll never see each other again."
"Aunt Wen, don't get excited. It's not good for your health." Xiao Chen comforted Wen Yi, then glanced at Xiao Wanli.
"Master Xiao, if you have nothing else, please leave. It seems no one here welcomes you."
"Do you know who you are talking to?" Xiao Wanli's face turned a little ugly.
"I know. The patriarch of the Xiao family is a man with connections." Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up, not hiding the sarcasm in his tone at all.
"People like us have to be very careful when talking to Patriarch Xiao."
"If I offend you, I'm afraid I won't have a place to stand in this huge Yanjing anymore."
Xiao Wanli stared at Xiao Chen, suppressing his anger.
"Show the guest out." Old Master Wen didn't tolerate it and directly asked the butler to come out and see the guest out.
Seeing that he couldn't come to any conclusion by talking here, Xiao Wanli had no choice but to leave.
"What on earth does he want to do here today?" Xiao Chen was a little confused.
Xiao Chen didn't understand, but Old Man Wen and Wen Wan knew it clearly.
Xiao Wanli naturally knew Xiao Chen's identity.
Before, he looked down on Xiao Chen, a child who grew up in the common people.
But as time went by, Xiao Chen's abilities gradually emerged.
Chenhai Technology even won large orders in the defense and aerospace industries in one fell swoop.
You have to know that these two giants in the country are technological giants, and ordinary technology companies are not qualified to cooperate with these two giants.
The valuation of Chenhai Technology Group is even close to that of the company that the Xiao family has run for decades.
Now Xiao Wanli is probably having some bad intentions again and wants to lure Xiao Chen back to the Xiao family.
Unfortunately, the current Xiao Chen cannot be persuaded by just a few words.
"Ignore him, he's mentally ill." Wen Wan said, "Also try not to have any private contact with him, he's too cunning."
Xiao Chen nodded. It was right not to contact Xiao Wanli, but he was curious about what Xiao Wanli wanted to do.
After staying at the Wen family for a while, Xiao Chen refused Wen Wan's kindness to send him home and left on his own.
"Dad, that old man Xiao Wanli is waiting for Xiao Chen outside." Wen Wan glanced at the message and said, "Do you want to..."
"Don't worry about him." Elder Wen said calmly, "Xiao Wanli is too utilitarian, it's almost written on his face."
"The Xiao family is quite powerful in Yanjing, but within five years, Xiao Chen will surpass them. It's simply a dream for Xiao Wanli to win over Xiao Chen."
"That's true." Wen Wan glanced at Wen Yi who was learning to weave and sighed inwardly.
The mother and child are right in front of them, but they cannot recognize each other.
And she couldn't even say it, it was so painful.
I just hope that God will open his eyes soon, have mercy on this mother and son, and let Xiao Gucheng come back soon so that the family can be reunited.
As soon as Xiao Chen walked out of the Wen family's villa, Xiao Wanli came to meet him.
"Xiao Chen, want to chat?" Xiao Wanli still looked condescending.
He wanted to refuse, but Xiao Chen was also a little confused and wanted to take the opportunity to test the waters, so he nodded in agreement.
After getting into Xiao Wanli's Rolls-Royce, the car drove away slowly.
Xiao Wanli took out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for Xiao Chen.
He swirled the red wine in his glass and asked, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "The company has been doing well recently, right?"
