In the car, Wen Yan was hesitant to speak all the way. Finally, at a red light, Xu Nanzhi stopped the car, looked at him and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Um, sister, when will you come home?" She asked haltingly, as if she had chosen the words for a long time.
Xu Nanzhi glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it later. I have some other things to deal with recently and I can't spare the time."
"Is it about the Xu family?" Wen Yan asked tentatively.
He felt very sorry for his sister. He could see that she had changed a lot. She had become more calm and reserved. For a moment, Wen Yan's eyes were red.
The two are half-siblings. After Xu Nanzhi's parents divorced, her mother married Wen Yan's biological father and gave birth to Wen Yan a year later.
Xu Nanzhi is seven years older than Wen Yan. At that time, the Xu family's business focus had just shifted to Beijing, so Xu Nanzhi also transferred to Beijing to go to school and lived in the Wen family's house.
At that time, Xu Nanzhi was proud and domineering, and Wen Yan was like a little devil. She was not afraid of any elders in the family, but she just listened to Xu Nanzhi and claimed that her sister was beautiful, which made the whole family laugh and cry.
In this way, Xu Nanzhi and Wen Yan were in Jing City during school hours, and during winter and summer vacations, Wen Yan followed Xu Nanzhi to Su City to accompany Xu Nanzhi's grandmother. The relationship between the two siblings was very good.
Wen Yan's words about the Xu family made Xu Nanzhi silent for a moment, but he still said, "I need to go back to the old house in Yuncheng."
At this time, the green light at the intersection came on and Xu Nanzhi continued driving.
Seeing Xu Nanzhi's expression when he mentioned the old house in Yuncheng, Wen Yan consciously stopped asking.
Ever since Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu passed away five years ago, his sister has been abroad for five years and has kept silent about the affairs of the Xu family.
Over the years, no one actually knew how she was doing. She only kept in touch with him occasionally, and the rest of the people, whether his brother or mother, could only contact her sister during the holidays.
Even the fact that he came back this time was told to him only after he discovered the clues.
Although the two siblings were not strangers, he could feel that his sister was a little different from five years ago. It seemed that the people in the Xu family would have a hard time in the future.
"arrive."
Wen Yan was still immersed in his own thoughts, and came back to his senses when he heard Xu Nanzhi's voice.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "Sister, my brother and mom miss you very much, and my dad although..."
He paused here and said, "But you still have us."
Xu Nanzhi understood what Wen Yan meant and nodded: "I know, I will go back in a while, don't tell them about my return, especially your brother."
"Sister, have you been doing well these years?" After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yan asked what was in her heart.
Although he has been in contact with Xu Nanzhi for the past five years, he mostly shared his daily life with Xu Nanzhi, and Xu Nanzhi rarely told him about her own affairs.
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and now he finally asked it out loud.
"It's OK. I'm successful in my career, just like what Lao Xu had hoped for."
Xu Nanzhi lowered his voice slightly: "It's a pity that he can't see."
Then, she quickly adjusted her tone and said, "Okay, go in now. I'll contact you after I get back from Yuncheng."
"Goodbye, Nannan." Wen Yan waved to Xu Nanzhi pretending to be relaxed.
"Call me sister."
"No." Wen Yan closed the car door and made a face at Xu Nanzhi, then called the other three roommates who got out of the taxi and walked towards the school.
After watching the group of four people including Wen Yan enter the campus, Xu Nanzhi drove away.
On the asphalt road of the school, three people surrounded Wen Yan and said, "Wen Yan, tell me the truth, who was that young lady just now?"
"I didn't expect you to have a tender side."
Facing the teasing looks from the others, Wen Yan shook his head: "Don't joke around, that's my sister."
Several people clearly didn't believe this, especially the boy who had called Xu Nanzhi before, who asked, "Don't you just have a brother? I haven't heard that the Wen family has a daughter."
Everyone in the dormitory knew that Wen Yan was the young master of the Wen family, so they naturally didn't believe what their sister said.
Then someone joked: "Speaking of which, this sister is also a sister, hahahaha."
As he spoke, he burst into laughter: "Wen Yan, I always thought you liked delicate girls, but I didn't expect you to like older sisters. What a mistake."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yan stepped forward and hugged her neck: "Don't talk nonsense, she is really my sister. The relationship in my family is a bit complicated, but she is indeed a biological child. She was born to the same mother but has the same father."
Seeing that Wen Yan was unwilling to talk too much, the three of them tactfully stopped asking and began to change the subject.
"Your sister is so beautiful, Wen Yan. I envy you so much. Do you think I can be your brother-in-law?"
The person who just joked said something again. Wen Yan glanced at him and snorted coldly: "You, you are not qualified."
The four of them played and quarreled all the way to the dormitory.
. . . . . .
After Xu Nanzhi returned to his residence alone, he poured himself a glass of red wine.
Looking at the layout of the house, she now lives in an apartment that Lao Xu bought for her when she was in college. He said it was a coming-of-age gift for her. Thinking of this, a tear inadvertently rolled down her cheek.
Outside the window is the night view of Beijing. I raised my hand to wipe away the tears that were falling, and there was an indescribable melancholy in my heart.
After five years away, Beijing had changed so much that she felt a little lost for a while.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, he was flipping through his phone aimlessly, scrolling through all sorts of celebrity gossip and wealthy family gossip.
Not to mention the political and business celebrities, the hot searches were unusually lively at night. Seeing the faces of many old acquaintances flash by, she couldn't help but smile.
Some people she hadn't seen for many years reminded her of the past.
After scrolling down, the smile on Xu Nanzhi's face gradually disappeared, and he saw a few big words written on the screen of his phone: "Miss Xu's Birthday Party".
Seeing this, Xu Nanzhi paused for a moment, and clicked on the photo with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. He saw the girl in the photo smiling sweetly, surrounded by people, and it was obvious that she was very happy.
The entire article is full of envy and praise for her.
The fact that she hasn't contacted anyone in the past five years doesn't mean that she is unaware of the news in the country. She pays attention to everything about the Xu family. She thinks that since she is back this time, she will definitely settle some things and some people.
His gaze fell on the girl's smile in the photo again: "Miss Xu, huh, you've adapted quite well." He murmured softly, his eyes indescribably cold.
"Let you be happy for a few days first. I hope you can handle it in the days ahead."
