Chapter 250 The two-faced wild rose that the military commander wants to provoke (1)
The driver raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, looked to the right and asked for his opinion: "Master Jiu, could it be that the one in the south is the orphan of the Lin family?"
In the back seat, Wen Yansheng was leaning lazily, and he glanced casually at the woman outside the car window. Even with the street lights on in the dark, he couldn't see clearly through the car window, as if covered by a layer of paper.
All that could be seen was her long hair and frizzy bangs, and she was not wearing any earrings or head ornaments.
Wen Yansheng folded his hands on his knees, indifferent as water, narrowed his black eyes, and said casually: "Take her into the mansion and have a look."
The driver said to the woman outside the window: "Just go straight ahead."
"Okay, thank you."
A polite and gentle female voice came from the front window, and the man just told the driver to drive.
When we arrived in front of the mansion, the iron gate was opened by the gatekeepers and the car did not drive in but stopped at the gate.
She trotted after him. The glaring taillights went out as the driver got out of the car and opened the back door. Military boots landed on the ground, and a nine-foot-tall officer walked out.
The light at the entrance of the mansion was bright enough to see the man's appearance and clothes.
He was wearing a dark blue military uniform that was close-fitting and noble, with a military cap hooked in his hand. He had a stunning appearance and a reserved and wild aura about him, the reserve of a lion and the wildness of a wolf. His temperament was very unique.
She was holding the suitcase and standing five meters away from him, not moving forward.
She asked gently, "Hello, officer. Are you the elder of the Wen family?"
"Yes, Wen Shuqi is inside." Wen Yansheng looked straight ahead without even glancing at her. He left a word and walked into the door.
The driver motioned her to go in, "Follow Master Jiu. Miss, are you the orphan of the Lin family?"
"I am Lin Muqing, and that is the handsome man?"
The driver responded coldly: "Yes."
Hearing this, she slowed down her steps and followed him into the mansion. The garden was full of sweet osmanthus flowers, there were ten guards, and the dragon-head fountain in the center of the garden all demonstrated the grandeur of the mansion.
The mansion is a luxurious Western-style building with white walls and black tiles. The hall is spacious and brightly lit, with retro and elegant decoration. A young man with a scholarly air walks down the two-way escalator.
Meet her eyes as she steps through the door.
"Are you looking for me?" Wen Shuqi's eyes froze. What a beautiful and gentle woman.
Wen Yansheng sat on the sofa between the two of them, and the servant made tea beside him.
"Ms. Lin, please sit down." Wen Yansheng only then glanced at her briefly.
The girl standing at the door had a worried and cautious look on her face. Even without makeup, she still had a beautiful face, soft and fair.
She walked towards me slowly, her cheeks as rosy as roses, she wore a short silk jacket and a white skirt, with a suitcase hanging in front of her, looking like a daughter of a wealthy family who had studied abroad.
Wen Shuqi was wearing a navy blue gown and black round-framed glasses. He lifted his gown and sat down, looking respectfully at the man sitting alone in a chair: "Uncle Jiu, Shuqi doesn't know her."
Lin Muqing sat down on the dark brown soft leather sofa, placed the suitcase at his feet, explained his purpose, and looked at Wen Shuqi confidently without any shyness.
"I think you two should know about the Lin family. The Lin family and the Wen family's fathers once made a marriage contract. My daughter asked my father to fulfill the marriage contract."
Wen Shuqi only heard his grandfather mention it once when he was twelve years old, but then he went abroad to study for seven years and had not seen this so-called fiancée in the two years since he came back.
He had already been in love with someone, had accepted Western ideas, and could not accept the marriage contract made in the feudal period. It was useless for him to be beautiful, as the Lin family was divided up by powerful people from all over the country. How could an orphan girl with no status or money be his wife?
Wen Shuqi could only look at the current ruler of the Wen family. He was disgusted with the feudal marriage contract, and his tone was inevitably harsh:
"Uncle Jiu, I don't recognize this engagement. The Lin family has fallen into disgrace and has no right to be next to the Wen family."
Wen Yansheng looked calm and composed, but his words were harsh and critical. He glanced at Wen Shuqi coldly:
"You can't break the marriage contract made by our elders with just one word. You have no respect for your elders and have forgotten your sense of propriety and decency. You should kneel in the ancestral hall for one night as punishment."
Wen Shuqi recalled what he had said just now, and he broke out in a cold sweat. It was the thought of speaking out that had affected him. He pushed his glasses and tried to save the situation: "Uncle Jiu is right. I'll go there in a minute."
Looking at the woman across from him, separated by a tea table, Wen Shuqi dared not say anything rude anymore.
"Miss Lin, rest assured. Since this engagement was made by my father, the Wen family will definitely fulfill their promise. My father was once favored by Marshal Lin, and the Wen family is not ungrateful."
Wen Yansheng's words, spoken neither quickly nor slowly, were impeccable.
After being ridiculed by Wen Shuqi, she lowered her eyes slightly.
She clutched her dress tightly at her side, and it was obvious that the mention of the Lin family made her sad. She explained softly:
"Because it was my father's last wish, I traveled thousands of miles from south to north. But now I have spent all my money and I am unfamiliar with the place. Can I..."
Wen Yansheng rested his head on the sofa, legs spread out, glanced to the side, tapped the armrest of the leather sofa casually, and said in a calm voice:
"Then stay here tonight, Shuqi. Go to the small western-style building at the back and arrange a room for Miss Lin. Don't let me know that you have any childish behavior."
Wen Shuqi didn't dare to say no.
When she raised her eyes, her gaze met Wen Yansheng's unintentionally.
