Chapter 257 The two-faced wild rose that the military commander wants to provoke (8)
For the first time, Wen Yansheng's dull expression was mixed with dissatisfaction and unfulfilled desire. He got up from the bed, completely trapped in the illusion of a dream.
The lucid sinking seemed to be arranged by someone.
That feeling was enough to make him remember this person!
Wait until he has packed up and changed his clothes before coming out.
The moment I put on my military cap, I saw the curtains fluttering and the cold air spreading.
The temperature dropped drastically compared to yesterday.
He wore a cape over his military uniform.
When going downstairs.
Wen Yansheng walked with long legs, and his aura was even more domineering under his cloak. His eyes were deep as he ordered, "Miss Lin didn't have much luggage when she came. The weather is getting colder. The housekeeper should arrange some warm clothes. Let's go now."
"Okay." The housekeeper murmured in his heart that in order to repay his old master's kindness, Master Jiu was very concerned about Master Wen's engagement.
The housekeeper asked again: "Do you need to say that it was Young Master Wen who ordered this?"
Wen Yansheng frowned, his face stern, "What does it have to do with him?"
The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat and he answered truthfully, "Didn't Master Jiu ask them to cultivate their relationship?"
Wen Yansheng glanced at the housekeeper, looking unhappy, "If you still need your help with this kind of thing, then there's no need for this marriage."
The butler was frightened by the aggressive tone. He immediately lowered his head and said, "I am worrying too much."
Wen Yansheng said nothing more and went to the living room first. It was only seven o'clock, and he read the newspaper as usual.
As expected, the newspapers reported the deaths of Xu Chong and Li Can and made a big fuss about it.
It also wrote that the Xu family's well-known textile factory was acquired by an outsider overnight, which was quite fast.
The design and craftsmanship of Xu Chong's textile factory far surpassed those of local garment shops. With its gentle, delicate, dignified and unique designs, it won the favor of a large number of wealthy and powerful ladies, and in just half a year it occupied half of the textile industry.
The document he signed last night was originally a cooperation agreement for Xu Chong to export a large number of cheongsams to other provinces, but now someone else has swallowed up every morsel of the pie.
It is not in line with Wen Yansheng's style to not expose the person behind the scenes.
I just don't know if it has anything to do with someone. If so, it's really hidden.
Wen Yansheng flattened the newspaper, turned a page, and laughed instead of getting angry.
The butler next to him was on the phone, and his voice carried the authority of the Wen family's butler.
"Wen Mansion, send ten sets of warm capes, cloaks, and ponchos for young women."
The other end responded repeatedly.
In less than ten minutes, someone delivered it.

Lin Muqing was about to go downstairs and opened the door. The cold wind made her neck go numb.
The butler was walking hurriedly over, carrying a small suitcase in one hand and holding up his long coat, his gray hair fluttering to and fro.
"Good morning, housekeeper."
"Miss Lin, the weather is getting colder. This is the warm cloak that Master Jiu asked me to buy for you."
Lin Muqing was slightly surprised, took it and said thank you.
"Excuse me, butler."
She went back to her room, put on a beige coat, and went downstairs.
Outside a drizzle of rain was blowing through the corridors.
When they arrived at the living room, Wen Shuqi and Wen Yansheng sat on the sofa and talked about things.
"Good morning, Marshal, and Young Master Wen." Lin Muqing nodded slightly.
Wen Yansheng didn't even look at her. He just stood up, said "hmm", and walked to the dining table.
She did not thank him for the clothes. Wen Shuqi was no longer so resistant after meeting her yesterday. Instead, he honestly praised her, "The cape looks good on you. When did you buy it?"
She walked over, pulled open the seat next to Wen Shuqi and sat down, saying softly, "The housekeeper was thoughtful and bought this for me this morning."
The suggestive words made Wen Yansheng pick up his chopsticks a little slower.
"I'll go shopping with you in a couple of days when my legs feel better." Wen Shuqi saw admiration in her eyes, admiration for beautiful things. What he said yesterday about getting along with each other first was just a step for them to step down. Without this status, she would have nowhere to go. And he also had someone he liked, someone he had known for two years when he was studying abroad, but the other person had not been able to come to Haiping for some reasons.
He is the kind of person who is clear-headed yet indecisive.
"Okay." She smiled back.
Wen Yansheng sat in the first seat and they sat on his right. He didn't even glance at them, but just drank the porridge in the bowl quietly, and he scooped several times until it was empty.
Wen Shuqi thought he was hinting at him, and took the empty bowl tactfully, "Uncle Jiu, I'll serve you some."
"Um."
The three of them didn't say anything while having breakfast.
After breakfast, Wen Shuqi asked her to play chess, and she agreed, right in the living room.
Wen Yansheng was drinking tea nearby and caught a glimpse of them going back and forth out of the corner of his eye.
All I saw was that Wen Shuqi made every move very neatly and his expression was full of confidence that he would win from the beginning.
Little did he know that Lin Muqing was a white-cutting black player. He took the white pieces and quietly started to lay out the game from the side, pretending that it was difficult to make a move, as cunning as a fox.
It is said that a bystander sees things more clearly. He saw everything clearly. The fool Wen Shuqi was still laughing. In the end, not a single trace was left of him.
