Instead of immediately leading his men into the Chen family's house, Master Qian summoned his servant, Aunt Liu, and asked her to bring the young lady back.
Qian Wenjie asked anxiously, "Grandpa, do these Chen family members really think they're the masters?"
"It's just a dog. If it doesn't behave, we can just replace it." Grandpa Qian gestured back.
When Aunt Liu arrived with a maid, her tense face and capable demeanor made the Chen family members nervous.
"Miss, the master sent me to pick you up for dinner," she said to Qian Wenhua.
Qian Wenhua hadn't expected that Grandpa Qian would call her to dinner, and hesitated, saying, "Aunt Liu, my mother-in-law is here, could we—"
Aunt Liu smiled kindly: "Miss, your home is just ahead."
Chen's mother stood up, her face turning pale with anger.
The Qian family clearly doesn't respect them; they even need Qian Wenhua to come and serve them when they eat a meal.
"Go ahead, come back after you finish eating." Realizing that Aunt Liu was not someone to be trifled with, Chen's mother said to Qian Wenhua with a cold face.
Just as Qian Wenhua was about to compromise, Aunt Liu said again, "Mr. Chen, my young lady doesn't usually eat at home. These days, the master needs someone to take care of him, and she won't be coming back at night."
This is to tell them that they should take care of their own food.
Qian Wenhua knew that her grandfather was clearly better, so why was he still insisting on keeping her by his side? She cast a probing glance at Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu shook her head.
Before they had gone far, Chen's mother flew into a rage, launching into a veiled attack: "I thought I had married a virtuous wife, but I never expected to bring home a troublesome one! What a disaster!"
"Mom, call my brother right now, I'm so hungry!"
They hurriedly called Chen Dongzhi, adding their own embellishments. Chen's mother even complained to her son that he had promised to bring them here to enjoy a life of luxury, but instead they ended up serving the Qian family's ancestors instead of enjoying any happiness.
Enraged, Chen Dongzhi called Qian Wenhua and roared, "Qian Wenhua, what are you doing? Leaving my mother and the others in the villa! Is this how you treat your guests as a wife?!"
"Go back right now and apologize to my mom properly, or I'll never forgive you!"
His voice was very loud, and the room was extremely quiet; even Grandpa Qian could hear him.
Qian Wenjie snatched the phone and said, "Chen Dongzhi, are you saying my grandfather's illness isn't important? If you really care about your parents, just let the servants take care of them."
"So that's why Qian Wenhua dared to disobey me. It turns out it was you who was behind this. Qian Wenhua is my wife, and she has to listen to me. Besides, Grandpa is like this, what's the harm in Qian Wenhua taking care of him for one less day? He's not really going to wake up..."
Chen Dongzhi's words were heard inside the room.
Lu Siqiao chuckled inwardly; people are so easily inflated.
Then look at Master Qian's face; it's so black you could wring water out of it.
"Chen Dongzhi, from what you're saying, you wish I would never wake up, is that right?" Grandpa Qian asked slowly, but in a loud and powerful voice.
Qian Wenjie held the phone up to him, but there was no response immediately.
After a long pause, the voice on the other end said, "Qian Wenjie, could you be any more clever? You actually dared to have someone impersonate the old man to scare me! Let me tell you, this isn't over!"
The call was abruptly disconnected.
Qian Wenhua was stunned.
Does Chen Dongzhi know he's caused trouble?
"It seems many people in this house are hoping I won't wake up," Grandpa Qian sighed to Lu Siqiao.
Lu Siqiao played along with his act, angrily saying, "Grandpa Qian, that's exactly right! That's why we want to live to be a hundred years old and make them furious!"
Her words amused Grandpa Qian.
“However, Great-Grandpa, this Chen Dongzhi is so disrespectful. You’re still alive, and he doesn’t even care about the Qian family. Sister Wenhua has gone to great lengths to take care of you, but in the eyes of the Chen family, it’s just that she’s not doing her job properly.” She took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Grandpa Qian chuckled: "I know you feel sorry for Wen Hua, but based on that alone, I can't touch Chen Dongzhi."
Lu Siqiao sighed; she knew it.
"However, it wouldn't hurt to let her go out to work and relax a bit."
Master Qian instructed the steward to serve them food and then had Aunt Liu push him back to his room to rest.
Lu Siqiao was about to comfort Qian Wenhua when Qian Wenjie revealed a relieved smile: "Being targeted by my grandfather, Chen Dongzhi is doomed."
"My grandfather always likes to leave things unsaid. I never intended to bring down Chen Dongzhi all at once, but I'm just going to use some drastic measures. One day, he'll slip up." He sneered.
Qian Wenhua was both amused and exasperated to see that they had set a trap for Chen Dongzhi in order to help her.
In the afternoon, Qian Wenjie took Lu Siqiao home and told Qian Wenhua not to pay attention to Chen Dongzhi, and not to be afraid even if he came.
Chen Dongzhi went home before 5 p.m.
He first went home and saw that the kitchen was a mess, and his sister had burned her hand while cooking noodles.
In a fit of anger, he went to the Qian family home, stormed into the kitchen, pulled Qian Wenhua into a corner, grabbed her hand, and said viciously, "Qian Wenhua, do you know how hard my mother worked to raise me? I brought her here to enjoy a good life, not to be bullied by you."
Qian Wenhua tried to break free, but his strength was too great.
"Chen Dongzhi, let me go." Her voice was pleading.
Chen Dongzhi said with a sinister look in his eyes, "Let's go apologize to my mother."
Qian Wenhua recalled Chen's mother's face and the words Lu Siqiao had told him before she left.
"I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize? I still need to prepare dinner for Grandpa. If you can't cook dinner, just ask the servants to help." She pushed him away and said coldly.
He seems like a completely different person after just one day apart.
Chen Dongzhi loosened his tie, a playful look on his face: "What, is Qian Wenjie telling you to rebel against me? Are you two having an affair?"
"Stop using the old man as an excuse all the time. You shameless woman, if I don't want you, no one else will!"
"I'm telling you, either apologize to my mom right now, or I'm ignoring you!"
He stood with his hands on his hips, exuding arrogance.
Qian Wenhua's eyes flickered as she looked at him in surprise.
Chen Dongzhi was extremely smug: "What, are you scared?"
"Chen Dongzhi, I never knew the Qian family was so insignificant in your eyes. Even my life, this old man's life, is less valuable than cooking a meal for your mother?"
Aunt Liu pushed Grandpa Qian out from the corner, and he sneered.
Chen Dongzhi was so frightened, as if he had seen a ghost, that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground: "Grandpa, you, you're awake..."
"If I don't wake up, how will I know you bullied Wenhua?" Old Master Qian clasped his hands together, his eyes flashing coldly. "Wenhua has never been mistreated in the Qian family, how dare the Chen family bully her? Tell your mother that we Qian family members don't know how to take care of people, so you should hire someone yourself. Aunt Liu, see the guests out."
Aunt Liu walked up to Chen Dongzhi and said coldly, "Young Master Chen, please go back."
Chen Dongzhi hated Qian Wenhua to the core; the old man had woken up without even a word.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something.
That phone call today terrified him; he turned deathly pale and doesn't even know how he got home.
