Wen Jiaojiao was immediately convinced and said, "You don't want your factory anymore? A man should prioritize his career."
As she lowered her head, a slight smile appeared on Wen Zhaoye's lips. When she looked up at him, his expression returned to its cold indifference as he said:
“When I’m focused on my career, you never show the slightest emotion, so this time I’ll just do whatever I want.”
"You're amazing," Wen Jiaojiao said weakly.
"How about this, I'll give you my house as repayment for the support you provided during that time. You also have a few houses in your hometown, which should be enough for you to live comfortably until you're old and do nothing."
Wen Zhaoye blocked all her reasons for wanting him to go back, saying:
"I sold everything, and the money was stolen. Now I'm penniless." I'll pretend to be rich with one identity and play the victim with another. You have to take one of those, right? If not, then I'll have to think of another way.
"Don't think I'm easy to fool. How could such a large sum of money all be stolen?"
Wen Jiaojiao was so angry she felt a heart attack. She pushed him away, but Wen Zhaoye took the opportunity to lift her up and place her on the bathroom counter. He leaned down and gently pressed his forehead against hers, saying:
"I brought everything to Hong Kong, but it got stolen from the hotel, so I had nowhere else to go but to appear before you today."
Wen Jiaojiao's pupils showed surprise. She raised her hand to push his shoulder, but couldn't push him away. She could only turn her head and say:
"It's only been a few days, how come you've turned into a hooligan?"
Wen Zhaoye's hands remained gripping her slender waist as he slightly raised his eyebrows and said:
"Is that being a hooligan? I actually prefer to do something more direct, but the location doesn't allow it."
Wen Jiaojiao: "..."
Just then.
Li Yu's voice came from outside the door:
"Miss Jiang, are you alright?"
Before Wen Jiaojiao could speak, A Long pushed her away with one hand and said:
"Get lost, don't interrupt my young lady's conversation with her old friend."
Li Yu lay on the ground, completely bewildered. He stood up and questioned:
"Aren't you afraid he'll turn a nobody into a phoenix?"
Ah Long said casually:
"Let it change."
Li Yu's face darkened. He pointed at him, unsure of what to say, and could only leave angrily.
"You just wait."
Wen Jiaojiao scratched the back of her head uncertainly, and asked curiously:
"You must have bribed Ah Long, otherwise why would there be such a big difference in their attitudes?"
Wen Zhaoye: "People just think I'm a good man who can bring you happiness, so they're thinking of you."
Wen Jiaojiao: "..."
People have become poorer.
But his shamelessness hasn't changed.
Wen Zhaoye stood in front of her, raised his hand and affectionately patted the top of her head:
"Where do you live? I'll come stay with you tonight."
"Here you go." Wen Jiaojiao got off the bathroom sink, handed him the keys, and then walked out of the bathroom, giving Ah Long a disapproving look before going to the cashier.
"Bill, please."
Wen Zhaoye followed behind her, his smile never fading. However, compared to his delight, Jiang Peitian, sitting in the car outside, was furious.
"What's going on? Didn't we agree it wouldn't be that fast? I just threw a party, planning to announce his identity and pick a suitable girl from among the guests."
Li Zhu earnestly advised:
"Boss, why don't you just go along with the young master's wishes? He follows her around every day, day and night. You can't argue with him."
Jiang Peitian sent people to investigate Wen Jiaojiao's past, but they found no trace of her falling from grace. He was unwilling to give up, but he decided to go with her.
“I don’t care about anything else, but he must change his surname, acknowledge his family, and then announce it to the public.”
Li Zhu: "You should discuss this with the young master. It's no use talking to me."
Jiang Peitian was even angrier: "..."
As Wen Jiaojiao walked out of the restaurant, she noticed Wen Zhaoye following behind her. She said speechlessly:
"Didn't I tell you where your home is? Go back and live there yourself. Stay as long as you want, it's your home now."
Wen Zhaoye avoided answering directly, and instead said:
What time are you going back?
Wen Jiaojiao: "It depends on what time they release him. Besides, I'm not going back to live there. I'm an actress now, after all. Living with a strange man would be a bad influence, okay?"
Ah Long suddenly spoke up to Wen Zhaoye:
"You can go back without worry."
Wen Jiaojiao felt that his words were a bit suspicious, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she didn't take it seriously and got into the car, saying, "Drive to the hospital quickly."
Wen Zhaoye chuckled as he watched the departing car. He walked closer to the car Li Zhu was driving and, seeing Jiang Peitian there as well, said:
What are you doing here?
Jiang Peitian composed himself, his dark expression hardening, and said:
"You've been here for quite a while now, shouldn't you consider going public?"
"Wait a little longer." After saying this, Wen Zhaoye closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat, his refusal to engage in further conversation self-evident.
Jiang Peitian was at a loss for what to do with him, and he sighed: "..."
No wonder people say that sons are like debt collectors.
I didn't think so before; I thought others were just showing off. Now it seems that's indeed the case.
Wen Jiaojiao arrived at the hospital and was about to get out of the car when A Long stopped her and said:
"Miss, please wait a little longer. Assistant Li is probably busy today and will be a bit late."
Wen Jiaojiao asked curiously:
"I know which room it is, you can just blindfold me."
Ah Long said expressionlessly, "This procedure must be handled by Assistant Li."
Wen Jiaojiao: "..."
What the hell is going on?
Each one is more abnormal than the last.
Wen Zhaoye, carrying a large bouquet of roses, rushed to the hospital. He had just bought burn ointment and reached the second floor when suddenly, a voice came from behind him:
"Wen Zhaoye, what brings you to the hospital?"
Wen Zhaoye turned around and saw it was Li Tian. Fearing he might bump into Wen Jiaojiao or be discovered, he warned her:
"I don't know you well, so it's best to pretend we don't know each other when we meet."
Li Tian frowned slightly, looking at the roses in his hand. She stepped forward and said:
"It can't be that bad. Our two families have been friends for generations. Even if we can't be husband and wife, it's good to be friends."
Wen Zhaoye stared anxiously at the hospital entrance as he walked upstairs:
"In short, don't say you've seen me, don't talk to me again, and don't mention my name to anyone."
Li Tian, unaware of the reason, followed him upstairs:
"Are you in a hurry? Are you going to give those flowers to the girl you like?"
Seeing her come up, Wen Zhaoye knew that she must have a good relationship with Jiang Ci. If she inadvertently mentioned his name, she would definitely expose everything. He stopped and said:
Do you know what's most precious about a girl?
"???" Li Tian was puzzled by his sudden words.
"It's just being reserved. I've already made it so clear, but you still don't distance yourself from me, which is just annoying behavior."
Wen Zhaoye spoke to her aggressively, completely unaware that he was in the same position as her, relentlessly pursuing Wen Jiaojiao.
That's a sharp tongue. Li Tian stopped in her tracks, decisively turned and left, saying:
"But seeing that you're somewhat pretty, you really think you're a hot commodity."
Wen Zhaoye breathed a sigh of relief and turned to enter the ward.
