When the model was destroyed, Wen Ziqing was also very sad and angry. However, at that time, as a teenager, he had to bear all the sadness and anger alone. Unlike today, he has not only become stronger, but also has a little girl by his side who feels sorry for him.
Being loved by the little girl, his car model can be considered to have died a "death that was worthy of its time", right? Wen Ziqing's mood returned to calm when he thought of this.
At the corner of the stairs, Wen Ziyun and his sister quickly slipped back into the living room before Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan could get downstairs. Wen Ziyun was terrified that Wen Ziqing would burst into tears or scold him in public; after all, he and his sister hadn't had time to clean up the scattered parts. Fortunately, good-for-nothings were still good-for-nothings, and they wouldn't even complain to Grandpa.
Wu Xiuli brought out dishes and greeted Zhao Qingshan's family warmly, as if she was not the one who had just cursed Zhao Qingshan in the kitchen.
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but admire Wu Xiuli. Some people are born actors, accustomed to living life under a mask. Wu Xiuli seemed to be one of the best. Bingshan must have a hard time with such a stepmother!
However, Zhou Yuanyuan would not bother to expose Wu Xiuli. After all, she had only visited the Wen family once or twice, and Wu Xiuli was a complete stranger to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Wen Ziqing didn't know why Zhou Yuanyuan was so nice to him today. Not only did she often help him pick up food during meals, but she also called him "Brother Ziqing" when she spoke to him. Her voice was so sweet that it made Wen Ziyun's eyes red with anger.
The meal ended in a lively atmosphere. After the meal, Wen Yiran invited the Zhao family to sit down and have a cup of tea, but Zhao Qingshan refused. Even Wen Yiran was forbidden to drink tea within half an hour after a meal by Zhao Qingshan, otherwise he would not be able to take care of Wen Yiran's illness.
Wen Yiran put down the teapot in his hand with a smile. He was quite convinced by what Zhao Qingshan said.
From beginning to end, Wen Yulong never came downstairs. Before dinner, Wen Ziyun went upstairs and called him, and Wen Yulong asked his son to bring a message down, saying that he had some official business waiting to be dealt with.
Wen Yiran knew that his eldest son had official business to attend to, so he did not force him.
After finishing their meal and sitting for a few minutes, Zhao Yunxiang and the others said goodbye to Wen Yiran. Zhou Zhixin was going back to City N the day after tomorrow, and time was tight, so they wanted to stroll around Qingshan City and see if there was anything they could buy.
Supplies were extremely scarce in those days. Qingshan City, as a large city, was much better off than Sanhe Town. Shopping malls would occasionally sell "export-to-domestic sales" of cloth or yarn, no tickets required. Zhao Yunxiang wanted to try her luck and see if she could buy some to take back to Sanhe Town. Zhou Zhixin's sweater, knitted by Zhao Yunxiang three years ago, was already worn.
Zhao Qingshan wanted to give Wen Yiran an acupuncture treatment, so he followed Wen Yiran upstairs.
Zhao Qingshan also kept Zhou Yuanyuan. Although the little girl was smart, medical skills were not something that could be mastered by intelligence alone; it required more observation and practice. Zhao Qingshan was determined to keep the little girl because he had the opportunity to observe acupuncture up close.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't leave, and Wen Ziqing didn't leave either. He had nothing else to do anyway, so he might as well stay with his little girl.
Downstairs, Wu Xiuli came out of the kitchen after cleaning up and saw an empty living room.
The shoe prints on the floor became clearer and clearer in Wu Xiuli's eyes. When she thought about having to clean up before she could rest, Wu Xiuli became furious.
What bad luck had she gotten herself into today! Serving the entire Wen family was fine, but now she had to serve a bunch of country bumpkins her father-in-law had brought back. Whenever Wu Xiuli thought of this, she felt like there was a ball of cotton in her throat, making it hard to breathe.
The sound of Wen Yulong talking to his two children in the study made Wu Xiuli feel a little better. Her children were smart and always took every opportunity to be close to their father, Wen Yulong. Unlike the child left behind by the dead man, Wen Ziqing, who was always cold and stern, never saying anything, and naturally did not please Wen Yulong.
Wen Yulong did not go downstairs, not because he looked down on the identities of Zhao Qingshan and his group, but because half an hour ago, Wen Yulong discovered that there was a heart-pounding force covering the entire building.
Wen Yulong had an important letter with him that he couldn't afford to lose. He was a little worried about leaving it in his study without looking at it. With so many people at home, Wen Yulong couldn't keep the letter in his arms for fear of losing it. After weighing the pros and cons, Wen Yulong had Wu Xiuli bring him food to his study, and he ate it whole.
Wen Yulong had been in the military for nearly thirty years, often on missions in his youth, some of which were highly classified. During these missions, Wen Yulong had experienced near-death experiences, which had honed his keen senses. The enveloping power just now exerted a certain pressure on Wen Yulong. Wen Yulong suspected that a powerful individual, unfathomable in strength, had arrived near the Wen family.
Wen Yulong, at this level, has access to a level that many people will never be able to reach in their lifetime. Wen Yulong knows that in China, there is a group of people with extraordinary abilities. They belong to a secret department of the military and form a special operations team.
Wen Wenyulong from the special operations team had also seen one or two of them. Each of them had unique abilities, like Zhou Xi, the housekeeper of General Zhou's family, who secretly had another identity, the deputy captain of the special operations team.
Those extraordinary individuals wouldn't be deployed easily. If they did, it would be to investigate a major case that ordinary people couldn't handle. Wen Yulong hadn't heard any news of the Special Operations Team being deployed recently. Logically, Wen Yiran's transfer order had already been issued, and the Wen family was clearly on the rise. Wen Yiran was also an upright man, as clean in private as he appeared, so the chances of the Special Operations Team attacking the Wen family were slim.
Wen Yulong was puzzled, but fortunately the force retreated as soon as it was touched, so quickly that Wen Yulong could not feel any trace of it left.
Even so, Wen Yulong was still highly alert. Before he figured out whether this strong man was coming for the Wen family or someone else's family, he just wanted to keep a low profile.
Wen Yulong put aside his work and sat leisurely at his desk, listening to his son and daughter talk about their experiences in Zhaojiagou.
Wen Ziyun was eloquent, and he went out of his way to exaggerate some of the countryside's scenery, describing verdant hills as lush jungles and a foot-wide winding stream as a river several feet wide. Wen Yulong listened with great interest. As for Wen Ziqiu, she always appeared well-behaved in front of Wen Yulong.
