"Have the medical team take good care of her." Zhan Jingting's fingers flew across the computer screen. "From now on, you don't need to report these things to me repeatedly. If Wanwan doesn't come back for a day, it won't matter if she goes back to Wutong Bay in October."
"Yes." Zheng Ma sighed silently and placed the tray on the desk. "Young Master, please have something to eat."
"Take it away, I'm not hungry."
Zheng Ma said, "Young Master, this is a medicinal diet that Madam specifically instructed you to eat more of. You can't disobey Madam, or she will be angry when she comes back."
Zhan Jingting paused in his fingertips and looked at the soup bowl on the table.
He hated eating these things, but Qiao Wanwan always tried to improve the taste and would even feed him herself.
Whatever she fed him, let alone tonics, or even poison, he would probably drink it willingly.
Zhan Jingting's eyes softened slightly. "You may leave."
"yes."
The study door was closed, and Zhan Jingting picked up the soup bowl and fed the soup spoonful by spoonful.
The medicinal cuisine that Qiao Wanwan had modified was sweet and delicious, but when he ate it, it tasted bitter.
"Wanwan, where are you...?" The man closed his eyes in anguish. "Without you, I'd rather be dead. If you're really dead, please appear in my dreams so I can go with you. I really can't take another day..."
The only response he received was the sound of the wind outside the window.
The phone suddenly rang. Zhan Jingting composed himself and answered the call, "What is it?"
"Master Zhan, Wen Lixuan is back. He's hosting a banquet at the Wen family home this Saturday and would like to invite you to attend."
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "This up-and-coming director has gained international fame, which has brought a lot of benefits to the Wen family."
"Yes, Wen Lixuan's reputation did indeed save the Wen Group from bankruptcy."
"The Wen Group is already at its last gasp. Even if Wen Lixuan or his father came back to life, they couldn't save it."
"Master Zhan, Wen Lixuan called me specifically to say that the female lead of the new movie will be announced at the banquet. I believe you will be interested, so please be sure to attend."
"The leading lady?" Zhan Jingting sneered. "Is he trying to seduce me with a woman? Ridiculous. I won't go, but keep an eye on this banquet. I want to see what Wen Lixuan is up to."
"yes."
......
At 7 p.m., a grand banquet was held in the garden of the Wen family villa.
The venue was beautifully decorated, comparable to a wedding.
Wen Lixuan invited many high-society figures from the capital, and Wen Ru and Wen Lijing were busy entertaining them.
The protagonist, Wen Lixuan, arrived late and was immediately surrounded by a crowd of people.
After a series of social engagements, he finally managed to slip away and approach Wen Ru and Wen Lijing, saying, "Auntie, Big Brother."
Wen Lijing looked at his younger brother, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Lixuan, you've grown up. It's been a year since I last saw you, and your demeanor is completely different."
Wen Lixuan looks about 50% like Wen Lijing; both are handsome and pleasing to the eye, but their temperaments are completely different.
Wen Lijing is noble and gentle, while Wen Lixuan has a touch of unruliness. His long hair is tied in a braid, making him the kind of cool and rebellious type that young girls like.
Wen Lixuan smiled and said, "Big brother, I was a hands-off manager back then, leaving the Wen Group in a mess and walking away. You and Auntie have had a hard time."
"We don't talk about these things as family."
“Yes, Lixuan, we’re family, no need for such formalities,” Wenru said. “It’s good that you’re back. If there are any difficulties, we’ll face them together as a family.”
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely bring the Wen Group back to its former glory."
Wen Ru sighed, "Li Xuan, we all know you've made something of yourself now. You're an internationally renowned up-and-coming director, and your debut film won various international awards. But you can't help the Wen Group. None of us have the ability to go against Jing Ting."
Wen Lixuan took a sip of champagne and said dismissively, "Auntie, although I became famous without any warning, I'm not arrogant and I don't make empty promises. What I say, I will definitely do."
After Wen Lixuan finished speaking, he walked directly onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and said, "Dear friends and relatives, welcome to tonight's banquet. I would like to propose a toast to everyone."
He took a sip of his drink and continued, "Now it's time for our media friends. No one else is allowed to take pictures at the banquet, but the new movie actress I'm about to announce belongs to you all. You are welcome to witness this."
All the reporters were busy taking out their cameras and finding the best shooting positions, waiting to be the first to see the female lead of the new movie.
Wen Lixuan finished his glass of red wine, snapped his fingers, and the rose wall behind him suddenly began to fall apart!
One red rose after another fell down, and a human face appeared in the shadows.
After it had fallen to its full extent, everyone realized that it was a huge photograph.
The photo shows a woman's face, wearing a mysterious black veil and a hat. After all the roses have fallen, a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes suddenly appear before everyone!
Only then did everyone realize why she was wearing a veil!
Those eyes are so beautiful that there's no need to look at the rest of the face!
All the reporters were busy taking pictures!
Wen Lijing slowly frowned. "These eyes... seem to be..."
At Wutong Bay, Zhan Jingting clearly saw the photo through the cameras Jiang Dong had placed there. His pupils suddenly contracted. "Wanwan..."
Jiang Dong was also shocked, his mouth agape. He looked at the photos in the video, then at the photo of Qiao Wanwan on the desk. "Master Zhan, those eyes really do look like Madam's..."
"It's Wanwan, it must be Wanwan!" Zhan Jingting's fingertips trembled slightly. "Call Wen Lixuan immediately, quick!"
"Yes." Jiang Dong made the call and returned to report, "Master Zhan, Wen Lixuan said he wants to have a late-night snack with you."
"Okay, let him come to Wutong Bay!"
"yes."
Wen Lixuan hung up the phone and quickly prepared to leave.
"Lixuan!" Wen Lijing caught up and grabbed his arm. "Who is this woman in the photo? Why do her eyes look so much like Qiao Wanwan's!"
Wen Lixuan smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry about it. Just wait and see me keep my promise."
Wen Lijing realized, "That's Qiao Wanwan, isn't it? You've taken control of Qiao Wanwan to threaten Jing Ting? Lixuan, no, you can't underestimate Jing Ting. He's not someone you can threaten."
"Brother, how could I take such a risk if I wasn't sure?" Wen Lixuan gently pushed his hand away. "Things aren't as you think. In short, I'll be fine, and I won't let the Wen family be in trouble. Don't worry."
"The banquet isn't over yet, where are you going?" Wen Lijing guessed something. "Jingting saw the photos, he contacted you, right? Are you going to see him now? Lixuan, I'll go with you."
Wen Lixuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, anyway, the initiative is in my hands now, I call the shots, let's go."
