Wen Zhengnan settled the matter with a single sentence. Madam Wen wanted to say something, but Wen Zhengnan interrupted her. He had already decided that if Wen Lu did not agree, he would find a way to make Wen Lu agree.
Anyway, Wenlu's health isn't very good. If things really get too bad, let her go abroad to recuperate properly.
Seeing that she couldn't change Wen Zhengnan's mind, Madam Wen didn't say anything more. She just glanced at the smug Su Yu, stood up from the sofa, said "Take care of yourself" to Su Yu and Xiao Ran, and then turned and went upstairs.
After Madam Wen left, Su Yu ran to Wen Zhengnan's side, hugged his arm tightly, and said to him in a coquettish tone.
"I knew Dad loved me the most. I will definitely take good care of Dad in the future. Dad, you are so good to me."
Su Yu is a girl who is particularly good at reading people's expressions. She knows what to say to whom and how to make Wen Zhengnan very happy.
However, her skills were of no use to Madam Wen. She didn't know why Madam Wen just didn't like her, even though she was her biological daughter.
"Dad, why do you think Mom doesn't like me? Did I really do something wrong? Or is it that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and Wenlu cries to Mom, so Mom likes her more?"
Su Yu looked at Wen Zhengnan with a wronged yet strong expression. When Wen Zhengnan met those eyes that were so similar to his own and filled with tears, his heart softened involuntarily. He gently patted the small hand that was holding his arm and comforted Su Yu in a gentle voice.
"This matter is complicated. Your mother will explain it to you when she is able to. You have to believe that your mother loves you, and there are some things she has no choice but to do."
Wen Zhengnan looked upstairs, a hint of tenderness appearing in his normally cold eyes. He could understand Chu Qin's thoughts, but he really couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer.
"Alright, it's still early. You two go out for a stroll. I'm going upstairs to check on your mother."
After Wen Zhengnan finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Xiao Ran. "From now on, Su Yu will be in your care. I will find a suitable opportunity to restore her status and will not let her remain just an adopted daughter forever."
With Wen Zhengnan's words, Xiao Ran and Su Yu felt reassured, as if they could definitely walk hand in hand into the future.
Thinking that Su Yu would be his companion in the future, Xiao Ran felt a sense of relief.
The last time Wen Lu suddenly fell ill in front of him, he was terrified. He didn't want to live a life where he was afraid that the people around him would turn into dead people.
When Wen Lu returned to the Wen family villa, she saw the housekeeper rushing out to open the door for her.
Seeing this, she raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that something had really happened at home, otherwise the housekeeper wouldn't have been waiting for her.
The butler opened the door for Wen Lu and glanced at the car that had dropped Wen Lu off and left. That Rolls-Royce Phantom was a car that no one in the entire city of Harbin had ever seen before.
"Young Miss, why are you back so late? Who brought you back? Why didn't you invite them in for a seat?"
The butler spoke very subtly, as he was eager to know what kind of friends Wen Lu had made outside.
The fact that someone in the family owns a car like that means they must be someone of considerable status, which is a good thing for the Wen family.
Wen Lu saw the scheming in the butler's shrewd eyes. She smiled sweetly at the butler and said in a soft voice, "They are not my friends, but friends of my friends. They have other things to do and do not have time to visit my home. I will definitely invite them next time."
"Alright, alright, make sure to let me know in advance when your good friend comes to visit, so I can make arrangements for you to properly entertain your friend."
The butler, in his obsequious manner, explained that he had risen to the position of butler in the Wen family entirely because he was capable of handling affairs and understanding the patriarch's thoughts.
Hearing the butler's words, Wen Lu just smiled faintly. She did not continue to discuss the issue with the butler, but instead asked him why he was waiting for her there.
"Uncle Sun, it's so cold. Why are you waiting for me here? Did something happen at home?"
Wen Lu encountered a traffic jam on the way, which delayed her quite a bit. She thought she wouldn't be able to see any excitement, but judging from the housekeeper's expression, she felt that she might still have a chance to watch the drama unfold.
"It's nothing, it's just that Miss hasn't come back yet so late, I'm a little worried. Miss, have you come back from outside for dinner? If not, I'll have the kitchen prepare some late-night snacks for you?"
The butler looked at Wen Lu with concern. Seeing the butler's calm expression, Wen Lu began to wonder. Did Madam Wen not catch Su Yu and Xiao Ran when she got home? Was Xiao Ran impotent? Was it over so quickly?
"We haven't eaten yet. Just ask the kitchen to prepare something simple. Eating too much at night can cause indigestion."
Wen Lu chatted with the housekeeper as she walked toward the villa. It was quite cold, and she had some difficulty breathing.
She absolutely hated this sickly body; it restricted many of her activities, and she couldn't even walk too fast anymore.
The housekeeper accommodated Wen Lu's pace and, noticing that Wen Lu was having some difficulty breathing, couldn't help but show a hint of heartache.
He couldn't imagine how upset Wen Lu would be if she knew about Su Yu and Xiao Ran's affair; he just hoped that Wen Lu could be more open-minded.
Wen Lu and the housekeeper walked into the living room and saw Wen Zhengnan and his wife sitting there in a very harmonious scene.
This harmonious scene felt unreal to Wen Lu. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was unreal, but there was just a strange feeling about it.
"You're back? Why are you so late? I heard you went out with your friends, so I didn't dare call you. Are you cold outside? Are you feeling alright?"
When Madam Wen saw Wen Lu enter, she quickly stood up and walked to Wen Lu's side. She took Wen Lu's hand and began to ask about his well-being, her whole being exuding a maternal tenderness.
If Wen Lu hadn't been so perceptive, she might have been seduced by such sweet talk.
Wen Lu responded to Madam Wen's concern with a sweet smile; acting was a very simple thing for her.
If Mrs. Wen can disguise herself as a gentle mother, then she can also disguise herself as a filial and obedient daughter.
"I left a long time ago, but I got stuck in traffic on the way. It took a long time and I wasted some time, so I came back late. I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry."
