revenge
Unconvinced, Wen Xuyi turned his anger towards Ruan Xing, who was standing by watching the show. Twisting his aching arm, he shouted, "Aren't you going to manage your subordinates? Is this how you manage your employees?!"
Ruan Xing raised an eyebrow, sighed, and slowly walked to Wen Xubai's side. He patted Wen Xuyi's shoulder and said innocently to Wen Xuyi, whose face was full of black lines, "My son is too rebellious, I can't control him..."
As he spoke, he shrugged.
Wen Xubai gave him a cold look, and Ruan Xing raised his hand, looking completely innocent.
"You!" Wen Xuyi was furious. He pointed at the two of them for a long time before finally managing to choke out, "Why do you have to go against me?!"
These words were asked of Wen Xubai.
He still didn't believe that the "Ruan Xu" in front of him was not Wen Xubai.
Wen Xubai crossed his arms, lowered his gaze to look at him, and said coldly, "The business world is like a battlefield. If you are careless, don't blame others for getting there first."
"You!" Wen Xuyi glared at him, his anger rising. He raised his fist and was about to charge forward again, but was stopped by Ruan Xing.
Ruan Xing frowned. "To dare to hit someone in front of your elders like that, you really have no manners at all. This is the Ruan family, not your Wen family. If you want to cause trouble, go back to your own home!"
Without waiting for Wen Xuyi's response, Ruan Xing immediately called out, "Security!"
The next second, several tall and burly men in security uniforms rushed in, each carrying one of Wen Xuyi's limbs, and carried him out like a sedan chair!
Unable to break free, Wen Xuyi clung desperately to the doorframe before leaving, shouting at the people inside, "Wen Xubai! I'm telling you! I won't let you off easily! This isn't over between us!"
"This isn't over between us—"
Even after the man's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, his long, heart-wrenching screams could still be heard.
Wen Xubai found it extremely noisy and covered his ears in annoyance.
Only when that annoying voice completely disappeared did I feel relieved and put down my arms.
Ruan Xing clicked his tongue and said, "Your younger brother is really incredibly stupid."
Wen Xubai nodded in agreement.
Ruan Xingqi was surprised. "Hey, so you can agree with people? I thought you were only good at opposing me."
Wen Xubai gave him a cold glance, "Indeed, I'm only going against you."
Ruan Xing's smile froze instantly, and he immediately became displeased. "No, don't you know anything about respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"
Wen Xubai glanced indifferently at his wide-open collar, "Disrespectful to your elders."
"Hey—" Ruan Xing exclaimed excitedly, "Do you know how difficult it is for me to maintain this figure at my age? Of course I can't miss a bit!"
Wen Xubai covered his ears again, frowned slightly, and interrupted impatiently, "I don't know, I'm not as old as you."
"Wen Xubai!"
Ruan Xing was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. He pointed at the person in front of him for a long time before finally angrily withdrawing his hand and gritting his teeth, saying, "Xing! You don't respect the elders and love the young anymore, do you? I'm not going to stoop to your level!"
After saying that, he angrily clasped his hands together and plopped down on the sofa in front of the French windows.
Wen Xubai frowned. "Are you going to stay here indefinitely?"
Ruan Xing snorted, "This is my company. I can stay wherever I want and for as long as I want!"
Wen Xubai: "·······"
Wen Xubai sometimes really wondered if Ruan Xing was really fifty years old. His behavior was so immature, like a child.
Wen Xubai glanced at him speechlessly, then lowered his head to continue his work.
Just then, a few crisp knocks sounded at the door.
The secretary peeked in, glanced cautiously at the shards of glass on the floor, and asked, "Um... Mr. Xing, Mr. Xu, should we call a cleaning service to clean this up?"
Those were teacups and ashtrays that Wen Xubai and Wen Xuyi accidentally overturned during their fight.
Wen Xubai nodded, paused for a moment, and then said, "After you call the cleaning service, you should go home and rest today. You were quite frightened just now."
The secretary's hair was a little disheveled, and her eyes were still a little red. Standing in front of the two of them, her body was trembling slightly, clearly still recovering from the shock.
Even so, they didn't forget their job responsibilities.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Xubai added, "It's paid leave, so you don't need to worry about work."
The secretary then realized what was happening, and all the grievances and fear she had been suppressing burst forth in an instant. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she covered her mouth and began to sob.
This really surprised Wen Xubai; he hadn't meant to make the other person cry...
He had never comforted anyone before and didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth again and again, but in the end, he simply said nothing and silently handed over two tissues.
The secretary cried even harder.
Wen Xubai: "?!"
He was somewhat at a loss, remembering how Qi Zui had comforted him when he cried before. So Wen Xubai tentatively patted the secretary's back gently, soothingly saying, "Uh... don't cry..."
This tactic worked. The secretary realized she had overreacted, quickly wiped away her tears and snot, bowed respectfully to Wen Xubai, and choked out, "Thank you, Mr. Xu..."
He then left the office, sobbing.
Wen Xubai finally breathed a sigh of relief, his head feeling a little throbbing.
He felt that coaxing people was harder than his job; he really didn't know how Qi Zui was always so patient...
As I pondered this, I couldn't help but drift off into thought again.
Looking at his expression, Ruan Xing suddenly felt a little annoyed and snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to know how to cherish women. I thought you were indifferent to everything."
His thoughts were instantly pulled back, and Wen Xubai realized that Ruan Xing had misunderstood. However, he was too lazy to explain, so he simply shifted his focus back to the computer and said speechlessly, "Don't you have any work to do?"
Ruan Xingteng suddenly stood up from his chair, startling Wen Xubai.
Wen Xubai looked at him as if he had seen a ghost and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ruan Xing strode over, slammed an invitation on his desk, and shouted, "Here! This is my job—to deliver invitations to you! Here!"
Wen Xubai didn't know what Ruan Xing was up to again and didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he glanced at the contents of the invitation, he suddenly froze.
That was a family banquet hosted by the Wen family, and the Ruan, Qin, and Song families, who were related to the Wen family by marriage, were also invited.
Wen Xubai was somewhat puzzled as to why he had to be invited to this non-commercial banquet. After all, as Ruan Xing had said, the less direct contact he had with the Wen family, the better.
Seeing his confusion, Ruan Xing explained, "That old fellow Wen Tingyi's health has been getting worse lately. I wonder what he's up to by suddenly hosting a family banquet this time? But whatever he's up to, we have to go and support my good nephew, right?"
"I can't bring too many people with me this time; I need someone to help me."
Wen Xubai frowned. "Then why not just call her Ruan Yun?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Xing gave him a speechless look and said indifferently, "Xiao Yun is so obsessed with that Wen Xuyuan, don't tell me you didn't know?"
Wen Xubai choked, recalling the scenes he had seen the two of them at banquets several times before, and realized that it was indeed not very convenient.
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Xubai pressed down on the red and gold-trimmed invitation.
Just as I was about to take it away, I felt a huge pulling force.
Wen Xubai looked at Ruan Xing through the other end of the envelope and asked in confusion, "Let go."
Ruan Xing did not let go, but instead used the position of one hand in his pocket and the other hand on the table to get closer to him, and said word by word: "You are not allowed to leave my side during the banquet, and you are not allowed to go to Wen Xuchi. Come with me as soon as the banquet is over, and you are not allowed to linger."
Wen Xubai: "·······"
Nodding helplessly, Ruan Xingcai finally let go of her hand.
As Wen Xubai put the envelope into the drawer, he looked up and saw Ruan Xing staring at his neck with an unfathomable look in his eyes.
After a long pause, Ruan Xingcai finally managed to stammer out, "You really slept with him? Was it your own choice? Did he force you?"
A series of questions stirred up memories in Wen Xubai's mind that had been suppressed.
To be honest, he still has some lingering pain in his waist and legs, which he has been trying hard to keep from showing it. If it weren't for this, when Wen Xuyi came to pick a fight with him just now, he definitely wouldn't have let him be carried out with his hands and feet intact, but would have had him carried out on a stretcher instead.
In the dim light, the man's handsome face suddenly appeared in his mind, and Wen Xubai's face began to feel slightly hot.
Ruan Xing: "..."
Looking at him like this, what else is there to not understand?
To be honest, he had already guessed something when Wen Xubai walked into the office today with his slightly strange and frivolous gait. When he saw the marks on the neck, he was completely certain.
Ruan Xing took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh, and said unhappily, "I thought he was so good to you, but isn't this how it is?"
Wen Xubai paused in his movement of touching his neck, his face suddenly turning pale.
Indeed, Qi Zui was always very gentle in bed before, and rarely left deep marks on him. But yesterday, whether it was because he had been suppressing his feelings for too long or something else, Qi Zui's actions were very crazy.
Although it wasn't exactly rough, I would slow down when he really couldn't take it anymore, but it was only a slowdown. Unlike before, except for the first time when I couldn't control myself, I would wait until he was fully adapted before continuing, knowing when to stop.
This caused Wen Xubai to feel as if he had been crushed by a hundred-pound ox when he woke up this morning, and his bones almost broke.
Looking at his fluctuating expression, Ruan Xing said helplessly, "Wen Xubai, let me give you a piece of advice. Things are different now. Wen Xuchi is no longer the simple man you once knew. He has experienced hardship and setbacks, and the first person to betray him was his 'beloved.' If it were anyone else, they might have gone mad long ago..."
"In short, I advise you not to trust him too much, otherwise I'm afraid... he might retaliate against you."
