Chapter 105 Yan Xu Gets Beaten
After going downstairs, Wenxi saw Shang Chen sitting at the dining table, staring at his phone expressionlessly.
He cannot distinguish between joy and anger.
The seriousness and composure on his face contrasted sharply with the lively atmosphere on his WeChat Moments.
Wenxi smiled slightly, clearly in a good mood.
"Such a lavish breakfast, what time did you get up to make it?"
Shang Chen looked up from his phone: "I just finished making it, I was just about to call you."
Wenxi pulled out a chair and sat down. "Why didn't you send me a message?"
Shang paused for a moment, then said, "I had too many calls; I just finished one."
Wenxi was just about to drink her milk when she was thankful that she was slow.
Otherwise, she might choke.
Wen Xi calmly asked, "Who called you?"
"What questions did you ask?"
Shang Chen glanced at Wen Xi and guessed from her expression that Wen Xi had also seen the video on WeChat Moments.
"...We've used everything you can think of."
"They're all asking about the video."
It's one thing for his parents to love joining in the fun, but even the retired Mr. Shang made a special call to ask.
"Ah Chen, is that you in this video?"
"Grandpa heard that AI technology is very advanced now and can simulate a person's appearance in a video."
“The person in this fake video is definitely not you. Grandpa believes you are a decent child.”
Shang Chen's silence early in the morning stemmed from a few messages from Old Master Shang.
Wenxi asked curiously, "What did they talk about?"
When she met Shang Chen's dark, inky eyes, Wen Xi immediately changed her mind: "Never mind, let's have breakfast first."
Instead of answering her question, Shang Chen suddenly asked, "Wenxi, have you sent it?"
Wenxi: "Can't you see my WeChat Moments?"
Shang Chen said very seriously, "Maybe you've set it so I can't see it."
Wen Xi was surprised: "Is that the kind of person you see?"
What surprised me even more was the rapid progress Shangchen made.
He even knew that you could set your WeChat Moments to be hidden from certain people.
Shang Chen: "I used to be very certain, but now... I'm not sure."
Wenxi took a sip of milk and calmly said, "I can show you my phone."
Shang Chen raised his eyes.
Wenxi: "But in exchange, can I see your phone too?"
Without hesitation, Shang Chen replied, "Never mind."
Shang Chen had already learned a lesson from the last incident involving checking his phone.
He won't make the same mistake twice.
Today, along with the spread of the video, there are also greetings from people from all walks of life, some expressing concern, others making jokes and teasing.
Shang Chen didn't care what they were saying, but he did care that Wen Xi would see it.
To put it simply, he still has a sense of shame.
Wenxi: "You really don't want to watch?"
Shang Chen lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, then said frankly, "If I really want to know, I can ask Shang Ze to help me."
“And Sheng An.”
Wenxi: "..."
This is not good. Boss Shang is progressing too fast, and we are a little overwhelmed.
Before leaving last night, Wenxi made a point of adding Sheng'an as a friend.
Shang Chen was also present at the time and remembers it very clearly.
At the time, he only knew that Sheng An had filmed a video, but he didn't know that Sheng An had edited such a title and posted it on WeChat Moments, causing a huge uproar.
"You added Sheng An as a friend just to see me make a fool of myself?"
Shang Chen's tone was calm, not accusatory, but simply curious.
Wenxi: "..."
Shang Chen asked seriously, "Is it funny?"
Wenxi answered truthfully, "It's quite funny."
Shang Chen was satisfied, his face still serious and stern. "Does that mean I'm not a boring person?"
Wenxi could no longer keep up with Shang Chen's thought process.
This time it was her turn to be the honest one and answer obediently.
"You're not boring at all."
Shang Chen was completely satisfied.
Seeing his expression, Wenxi suddenly understood.
Her eyes were smiling, her lips were rosy, and she exuded joy.
"President Shang, you're not only not boring, you're actually quite adorable."
"You're such a cutie!"
Shang Da Ke Ai Shen: "..."
Was Wenxi praising him?
Shang Chen, who tries hard to keep up with the times, can't quite accept the compliment of "cute".
He corrected Wenxi: "That way of addressing me is awkward. You can use a different word to praise me next time."
"Okay!" Wen Xi calmly changed her tune, "Shang Chen, you're such a cutie!"
Shang Chen: "..."
It's a bit cheesy, but... Wenxi seems to be genuinely praising him?
Shang Chen's gaze was dark and intense, seemingly capable of scorching one's skin.
Wenxi couldn't resist and her gaze fell on the vegetable omelet on the table. Wenxi praised, "You've improved a lot this time. It looks much better than last time."
She took a bite and said, "It's perfectly seasoned, fragrant, and soft."
Wenxi is well-versed in the essence of praising people.
"Mr. Shang is very skillful and intelligent."
"You've only been learning to cook for a short time, but your skill level is already quite good."
As expected of the adorable Business School student.
After being praised a couple of times, Shang Chen no longer cared about being called "cute little girl" earlier.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you again tomorrow."
Wen Xi nodded: "Very satisfied."
After they finished eating, the two took a walk together.
Wenxi asked Shang Chen, "If you don't like the videos on your WeChat Moments, why didn't you ask Sheng An to delete them?"
"There's no need," Shang Chen said calmly. "It's quite interesting, too."
He just went to a bar, and everyone made a big fuss about it.
They watched Shang Chen's performance, and Shang Chen also watched them perform.
Wen Xi: "As expected of President Shang, I need to learn from your magnanimity."
Shang Chen: "...There's something I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Yan Xu was beaten and went to the hospital last night."
Wenxi was somewhat surprised: "Who hit him?"
"They said he went drinking, got drunk, and was beaten up by thugs on the street."
Wenxi had a guess, but wasn't sure, so she asked again, "Is the injury serious?"
"It's a superficial wound; it will hurt, but it's not serious."
The two exchanged a glance. Shang Chen's gaze was calm, as if he had guessed something.
"He definitely deserves a beating."
Wenxi strongly agrees.
But Yan Xu's beating came too suddenly.
After returning to her room from her walk, Wenxi called Wenzhou.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wenxi asked, "Brother, Yanxu was beaten up. Does that have anything to do with you?"
Wen Zhou: "I did it."
“His parents didn’t teach him, so now I’ll teach him how to be a person and how to do things.”
Wen Zhou still had some patience for Yan Zhao and Ning Jin.
But Wen Zhou wasn't going to waste any words with Yan Xu; he chose to deal with him brutally.
"I will beat him as many times as he has cursed you. Only when he is too afraid to utter a sound will he learn his lesson."
After receiving the reply, Wenxi didn't mince words, "Thank you, brother. I was planning to teach him a lesson after the New Year."
Wenxi is not the kind of person who would just swallow her grievances.
Wen Zhou: "You can lecture me, I'll lecture you."
"If your parents are unhappy with you, just blame it on me."
"Brother!" Wenxi said, dissatisfied, "Is that how you see me?"
Wen Zhou paused for a moment before saying, "That's not what I meant."
“Xixi, it’s a good thing that your biological parents want to make it up to you. There’s no need to ruin your relationship over an idiot.”
Wenxi: "Brother, I know what I'm doing."
"Even if they find out, I'm not afraid. Yan Xu was in the wrong to begin with."
Even if Yan Huai'an and his wife really found out, Wen Xi couldn't bring herself to shirk responsibility.
If she could only choose between her biological parents and her brother, Wenxi would choose Wenzhou without hesitation.
Wen Zhou sighed helplessly and lowered his voice: "Fine, you know what you're doing, I'll listen to you."
Wenxi was relieved.
"By the way, your biological parents invited me to dinner tonight."
Wenxi asked excitedly, "Then we can meet tonight?"
She and Shang Chen also went to the Yan family's house for dinner that evening.
"Remember to wear warm clothes, it's snowing quite heavily today."
"I know, Shang Chen will remind me."
Wen Zhou fell silent for a moment, clearly not liking to hear that name.
Wen Zhou didn't bother to argue anymore. "Is your housekeeper coming home for the Chinese New Year?"
"I replied yesterday."
Wen Zhou: "So what have you been eating these past two days?"
"Shang Chen can cook, so he will cook."
Wen Zhou was silent for a moment, then suddenly became serious: "Wen Xi."
This tone immediately reminded Wenxi of when she was a child and Wenzhou would call her by her full name when she made a mistake.
Wenxi felt a little guilty: "What's wrong?"
Wen Zhou calmly accused, "You're siding with outsiders!"
Wenxi: "..."
She's just telling the truth, how is that considered siding with outsiders?
Wen Zhou then said, "Xi Xi, now you can't stop talking about Shang Chen in three sentences?"
Wenxi: "...It seems that's true. Mainly because we live together, we have a lot of contact."
Wenxi whispered, "Should I try not to mention him?"
Wen Zhou remained impartial and incorruptible: "Don't mention deducting points again."
Wenxi: "I won't mention it again!"
