Chapter 231: Clouds of Doubt
"Father, let me speak first!"
Ripple said calmly.
"You talk, I listen."
Wu Yishan nodded.
"Father, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I didn't control my emotions. I hope you won't be angry."
Lianyi lowered her eyes and said.
After hearing this, Wu Yishan felt relieved. It was a good start that his son realized his mistake, so he softened his tone. After all, he was his son.
"I know that your mother's death has hurt you a lot. It's really inappropriate to tell you about this at that time. But Lianbo is also your younger brother. If he continues to stay in that environment, he will ruin his qualifications."
At this point, Wu Yishan seemed to realize something and immediately paused, looking at Lian Yi's expression. Sure enough, the other party raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and he looked at him and said:
"Father, you don't need to remind me again and again. I know I am useless and I know that I didn't want to stop my brother from returning to the Wu family. I can accept it intellectually, but emotionally I can't accept them. After all, it's only been more than a month since my mother left."
After hearing this, Wu Yishan's face flashed with embarrassment, and then he said in a gentle voice:
"Even if your brother returns to the Wu family, you are still my son."
"I know, that's why I came to talk to you about this today. Butler Wu should have told you that Xue Wenjing came to see me today and threatened me in front of the butler, asking me to agree to her marrying you. She also said that the Wu family will be a joint venture in the future, so I should have some self-awareness, otherwise I will have a hard time in the future."
Lianyi repeated what Xue Wenjing said in a flat voice.
Wu Yishan frowned, thinking that this woman was a little too stupid. If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to Lian Bo, he would not have chosen this woman. After all, their relationship with each other was already a thing of the past.
"Don't listen to her nonsense."
"I thought about it and felt that although her words were harsh, they were also true, so I compromised. However, she wanted to marry into the Wu family and bring Lianbo back to the Wu family in three years.
This period of time is enough for me to calm down and find a way out for myself. I cannot go to the battlefield to inherit my father's legacy, but I also don't want to be a useless person and bring shame to the Wu family.
If father disagrees and wants to marry Xue Wenjing now, I will do as you say, but I cannot live in the same room with them. I will move out of here, and then my grandfather will come to pick me up."
Wu Yishan's pupils shrank after hearing Lianyi's words. He thought that with his son's personality, he would not take the initiative to contact the Du family. He didn't expect that in order to prevent Xue Wenjing from entering the house, his son sought help. Although he didn't make a big fuss, he actually embarrassed him.
Imagine if others knew that, in order to have a better illegitimate son, he drove his biological son to Yue's family and took the illegitimate son back to Wu's family one month after his wife's death, what would he become?
Even if everyone knew the reason, it would be of no benefit to him if the fig leaf was torn off and the Du family was angered.
"Xue Wenjing can wait for three years, but your brother cannot. After all, now is the critical period for stimulating his potential. If he misses it, it will affect his future.
I promise you that I will marry Xue Wenjing in three years, but your brother Lianbo will move in with us first and will not change his surname for the time being. We will wait until three years later."
Wu Yishan said in a deep voice.
"Father, I understand. Give me three days to prepare."
Lianyi knew that there was no point in continuing to talk, so she simply gave a time limit and then left the study.
Wu Yishan felt that this conversation between father and son went very smoothly, and both sides made concessions. Then he used his smart brain to make a video call, wanting to tell the mother and son the news, mainly because he wanted to see his son and comfort Xue Wenjing at the same time.
Lianyi left the study, smiled and nodded to the old butler guarding the door, then returned to her room.
When the old butler saw the other person's expression, he knew that the father and son must have had a good talk this time, so a gratified smile appeared on his face.
Lianyi returned to the room and called his own intelligent brain directly:
"Ian, block Wu Wenjing and Wu Lianbo's phone signals and don't let my father contact them for the time being."
"Yes, Master."
Ian's reply was immediate.
No one answered the video call Wu Yishan made. He called twice, but still no one answered. At this time, a video call came in from the military, so he temporarily put the matter aside.
"Master, it has been handled. I have changed the background program of the general's intelligent brain. He will not be able to receive any video calls from these two people. The video calls made by these two people will be directly transferred to an empty number and will never be connected."
"I see! Thank you for your hard work, Ian."
"It is Ian's honor to serve the master."
Lianyi walked around her room and clicked on the purple crystal on the bracelet. This was a storage space, and it was the largest one, an area of one thousand square meters. The things inside only occupied a very small corner.
At this time, Wu Yishan hurriedly left the mansion and boarded the hovercraft that came to pick him up. There was an important meeting waiting for him. Before leaving, he only said a few words to the old butler.
Lianyi saw Wu Yishan leaving through the window glass, her eyes full of sarcasm and contempt. She then turned and went to his bedroom, where there were some things left by her original mother, which later became the property of Xue Wenjing.
The original body had not yet gotten over the trauma of losing its mother, so it had never been to its parents' bedroom, and naturally had never sorted out its mother's belongings in the bedroom.
While Wu Yishan was away, he collected all the things belonging to his original mother in the bedroom. However, when he was trying to collect an ornament carved from a black colorful crystal, there was a small problem. The purple crystal space was unable to collect the ornament in the shape of a black dragon.
This is the zodiac sign of the original body. Dui personally found the materials and carved it bit by bit by hand, intending to give it to the original body as a coming-of-age gift. It has not been completely carved yet.
Since the storage space cannot be collected, it proves that this black colorful crystal should also have spatial attributes, so it cannot be collected.
Lianyi's eyes flashed, and she took the small ornament in her hand and took it away.
During dinner, the butler brought a tube of low-level nutrient solution and comforted Lianyi:
"Master, I know you have no appetite recently and don't want to eat, but you still have to maintain the minimum nutrition. You must drink this tube of nutrient solution, otherwise I will not be able to explain when the general comes back."
"I understand. I won't make it difficult for the housekeeper."
Lianyi's eyes flashed, and she took the nutrient solution and drank it under the watchful eyes of the housekeeper.
The housekeeper then smiled, took the empty nutrient solution and left Lianyi's room.
As a qualified housekeeper, when the little master said he didn't want to eat, he should have made a few more of the little master's favorite things and persuaded the master to eat a little, instead of sending the master away with a tube of low-level nutrient solution. You know, nutrient solution only supplies the lowest level needs of the human body and ensures that people can stay alive.
