Chapter 152 'He has plenty of ways to test Shang Chen'
Wen Zhou seemed to see through Wen Xi's little scheme: "Don't try to find a loophole in this matter."
"If you dare to give him leeway, I'll deduct points from his record."
Wenxi coughed twice: "Brother, let's agree on this first."
"The love letters and wedding photos can't happen again."
Relationships and marriage should not be tested casually.
Wen Zhou: "I know."
"I won't do the same thing twice."
For some reason, Wenxi heard a different meaning in those words.
He has plenty of ways to test Shang Chen.
Wenxi: "..."
Shang Chen didn't reveal anything about the investigation into Wen Chao to Wen Xi.
His investigation into Wen Chao was definitely aimed at dealing with Wen Chao, and he probably did quite a lot behind the scenes.
Wenxi planned to 'interrogate' him properly after dinner tonight.
Wen Zhou suddenly said, "I was just about to deduct a few points from him."
Wen Xi: "?!"
Wenxi didn't take sides and asked directly, "Why?"
Wen Zhou: "He showed off his affection for me last time."
"How many points do you think would be appropriate to deduct?"
Wen Zhou originally didn't want to make a fuss about it.
But recalling Shang Chen's expression when he subtly showed affection for his partner, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to tolerate it.
Wenxi was silenced for a few seconds.
She couldn't even imagine the scene of Shang Chen and Wen Zhou showing affection.
Wenxi asked softly, "How did you show it off?"
Does it matter?
“It’s quite important.” Wen Xi concealed her curiosity and said righteously, “If it’s serious, deduct two more points; if it’s minor, just a token amount will suffice.”
Wen Zhou raised an eyebrow: "He insists that I have a problem with him."
“I offered my opinion in line with his thinking, saying he was old-fashioned, but he wouldn’t admit it and insisted that I praised him for being funny.”
Wenxi: "..."
Is this considered showing affection?
Facing Wen Zhou's rather dangerous gaze, Wen Xi calmly said, "It is indeed a bit excessive."
Wen Zhou: "You don't need to lie to me."
Wenxi immediately revealed her curiosity: "So, brother, that's why you praised him as a succubus last time?"
She was curious at the time how the two of them ended up talking about this topic.
"Did he go back and complain to you?"
"It's not about complaining; we just talk about what happens every day, which is a way for couples to nurture their relationship."
Wen Zhou: "Then I said something wrong?"
Wenxi nodded seriously, agreeing with her brother.
"That's right, he's a succubus!"
This time, Wen Zhou was speechless.
The succubus he mentioned is definitely not the same as the succubus Wenxi was talking about.
But Wenxi didn't refute his words, and Wenzhou didn't want to take it too seriously.
He's not a petty person.
"Never mind," Wen Zhou said. "For your sake, I'll deduct one point as a token gesture."
Wenxi smiled.
If deducting even one point makes his brother happy, then so be it.
Wen Zhou: "Oh right, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"Lu Jinghuai is getting a divorce from Yan Zhao."
Wenxi: "Because of this rumor-mongering incident?"
“She’s so stupid. Even if it weren’t for this incident, divorce would have been inevitable sooner or later.” Wen Zhou: “Lu Jinghuai has wanted a divorce for a long time, but the two families have such a deep partnership that if he suddenly divorces, everyone will definitely suspect that the two families are having a conflict.”
"This is a perfect opportunity to use Yan Zhao's rumors to give the Lu family a legitimate excuse for divorce."
"The two have already signed the divorce agreement and are just waiting to get their marriage certificate in a month."
Upon hearing this, Wenxi immediately realized what was going on.
Yan Zhao has no choice but to take the blame for this rumor-mongering.
Even if the recording is fake, the fact that Yan Zhao 'personally admitted' has already caused a stir.
Rather than having Yan Zhao come forward and say the recording is fake, it would be better to directly characterize the matter as Yan Zhao and Wen Chao spreading rumors together, which would be more effective in clearing up the rumors.
This was a miscarriage of justice for Yan Zhao, but if she hadn't ignored advice and gone to discuss things with Wen Chao in private, giving Wen Chao an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Neither of them would choose this approach.
The most impactful part of the rumor-mongering incident for Wenxi and Wenzhou was the recording of Yan Zhao's conversation.
Wenxi asked softly, somewhat curious, "Brother, do you dislike her?"
"No, I just hate stupidity."
Wen Zhou lowered his eyes, casting a shadow beneath them, his expression unreadable.
"Wen Chao first spread rumors in order to drag her into this matter."
"Afterwards, Lu Jinghuai found out and wanted her to confess to me on her own initiative."
Wenxi instantly guessed Lu Jinghuai's plan.
"Lu Jinghuai wants Yan Zhao to perform well in order to ease the tension between you two."
"Besides, if Yan Zhao tells you about this, given your personality, you'll definitely take care of the people and things around Yan Zhao, and you won't let anyone take advantage of the situation..."
Wen Zhou chuckled: "But she avoided me and instead had Lu Jinghuai come to talk to me."
If Yan Zhao doesn't speak up, Wen Zhou, no matter how domineering, won't overstep her bounds and interfere in managing her friends.
If this gets out, they'll say Wen Zhou is controlling and bullies Yan Zhao.
“Lu Jinghuai gave her a chance, but she was useless.”
"Lu Jinghuai warned her not to have any contact with Wen Chao, but she didn't take it to heart and instead went to his door to give him the opportunity to scheme against her."
"Isn't she pitying Wen Chao?" Wen Zhou said coldly, "I'll just do a good deed and let the two of them stand on the same side and fight side by side."
Yan Zhao approached Wen Chao under the pretext that Wen Zhou had punished people too harshly and wanted to apologize on his behalf.
When Wen Zhou heard this, he remained silent for a long time.
He didn't actually dislike Yan Zhao that much.
He simply despises stupid people.
Yan Zhao is even more stupid than his own mother, Ning Jin!
Wenxi didn't say much about Yan Zhao's affairs, only saying, "Brother, you don't need to get involved in my law firm's affairs."
Wen Zhou frowned: "Afraid of troubling me?"
"No," Wenxi said. "I have other ideas, and I might need your help in a while."
Wen Zhou liked hearing such words and nodded slightly.
"Just call me when the time comes."
Wenxi smiled and said, "Okay. Brother, you also need to remember to eat on time and not focus all your energy on work."
"Alright, stop nagging me." Wen Zhou thought of Shang Chen downstairs, "Don't keep your 'succubus' waiting."
Wenxi: "..."
After leaving the Wen family, Wen Xi dealt with phone calls as she went downstairs.
Upon seeing Shang Chen in the driver's seat, Wen Xi quickly ended the call.
She walked quickly to the car window, rested her arm on the half-lowered window, and stared quietly at Shang Chen.
Shang Chen: "Is there something on my face?"
"No."
Shang Chen hesitated for a moment, "Did my older brother mention me?"
Wenxi nodded slightly.
Shang Chen: "..."
Did my older brother say something bad about him?
Shang Chen felt that he hadn't done anything he felt guilty about recently, so he straightened his posture and looked back at Wen Xi with a righteous air.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Do you know what I'm looking at?"
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at my succubus."
Shang Chen: "..."
Seeing Shang Chen's silent expression, Wen Xi suppressed a laugh and raised an eyebrow, "You posted again?"
Shang Chen's expression clearly showed that he understood the succubus's true meaning.
Aside from posting on the forum, Wenxi couldn't think of a second possibility.
Shang Chen said expressionlessly, "Xi Xi, how many times have you fooled me like this before?"
He did not post anything.
I'm just trying to read all sorts of real-time news posts and comment sections, and slowly I'm starting to understand all the inside jokes.
Shang Chen pursed his thin lips slightly, suddenly recalling the incident with the clown from last time.
