Chapter 40 Filial Piety to the Wrong Person

"So what should we do with these things?" Qi Nian was now confused.

He looked at Lu Ze for help: "Do you want it?"

"I am indeed very tempted. After all, who doesn't like money?" Lu Ze said honestly. He felt that the value of these things added together was enough to make him lie flat. However, he still held back and smiled slightly and said, "No merit, no reward."

It’s not that Qi Nian doesn’t love money, who doesn’t love money? But when he suddenly received these things, he was still very panicked.

Wen Yu patted his shoulder and told him to calm down: "It's okay, you deserve it. After all, who doesn't like yesterday's drama? Hahaha~"

Everyone thought: "..."

He reached out and touched his nose.

Oh, I don't want to either. Isn't that someone actively looking for trouble with him? Moreover, the purple suit was Wen Yu's idea. Qi Nian couldn't bear to watch his friend being deceived.

Finally, Qi Nian opened a bank account to keep these things temporarily.

——

At night, Qi Nian reviewed the knowledge points he had learned today and made sure that he had not forgotten them before he lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

He has developed a habit these days to vote for Zhou Jing before going to bed at night. Zhou Jing's family specially spent money to open a VIP account for him, which allows him to vote ten times for the other party every day.

Every day, Qi Nian has to contribute a little to Zhou Jing's hundreds of thousands of votes.

After voting, Qi Nian prepared to check Weibo and go to sleep.

As a result, I saw the spectacular hot searches on Weibo at a glance.

#Gu's chairman has been investigated#

#The victims of that year#

#Multiple owners reported housing issues#

#Multiple victims jointly posted on Weibo to accuse the chairman of Gu#

As you read on, you'll see that they're all topics related to Gu, and their spectacular level is comparable to that of the top names in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Gu Xiong may not want to be the top star.

Previously, Chu Rongshi said that he would investigate what happened back then and get the evidence as soon as possible. Qi Nian of course believed his brother, but he never expected that his brother would act so quickly!

You have to know that Gu Xiong has not worked for nothing over the years. Gu's Real Estate is definitely one of the best in the industry. The forces are intertwined and complex, so how can it be easily shaken?

But looking at the current trending searches, the Gu family is most likely finished. His brother really did it, he is worthy of being my brother!

Qi Nian was so excited that he was no longer sleepy. No wonder his brother had been so busy recently.

Qi Nian was so excited that he opened his brother's WeChat and started bragging.

[Qinian]: Brother, you are so awesome!

【Joint Thoughts】: The little sheep jumps around excitedly.jpg

[Chu Rongshi]: Did you see it?

[Qinian]: Yeah, I just saw it, brother, you are awesome!

[Chu Rongshi]: The Gu family has made many enemies over the years, and they were among those who instigated them.

[Qinian]: I don’t care, you are the best!

Chu Rongshi was stunned when he saw this.

【Chu Rongshi】：Yeah.

Qi Nian: "Hehehe~"

Turning around, Chu Tianheng also sent a message.

[Chu Tianheng]: I was wondering why Big Brother suddenly reminded me two days ago that the album would be released a few days later.

Gu’s posts will probably dominate the hot searches on Weibo these past two days. If you have any new dramas or songs to promote recently, you’ll probably be in trouble.

Qi Nian just checked his Moments and found that the people who worked in the entertainment industry that he had added before were now posting on their Moments to curse Gu Xiong, and they were all very angry.

[Chu Tianheng]: So, how did Gu Xiong offend my elder brother? He is going to be pressed to death.

【Qinian】: I don’t know.

[Chu Tianheng]: I just let you say whatever you want. I guess you don’t know either.

Qi Nian: Humph!

You're wrong, I just know it.

【Joint Thought】: fist wave.jpg

[Chu Tianheng]: Have you become more capable? Well, I just happened to be going home for a two-day vacation.

Qi Nian withdrew the emoticon package with a sigh.

【Qian Nian】: Sent to the wrong address QAQ

[Chu Tianheng]: Wow, my brother is so cute.

Everyone thought: "..."

His second brother is still in bad taste as always.

——

"I didn't expect that Gu Xiong would really fall." Lu Ze looked at the trending searches with a look of surprise on his face: "I don't know who he offended."

Qi Nian smiled foolishly: "Haha, yes, who knows."

Lu Ze thought Qi Nian was a little strange and squinted his eyes at him: "Why do I feel that this has something to do with you?"

Qi Nian immediately shook his head: "How could that be? You think too highly of me, don't you?"

"That's right." Lu Ze thought it made sense.

"Oh, let's not talk about this." Qi Nian took out the book and circled the questions he didn't know how to answer and showed them to Lu Ze: "You've been too busy recently. Take this opportunity to explain these questions to me."

"Business is in its early stages, so it's normal to be busy." Lu Ze took the book from Qi Nian and explained it to him one by one.

Through hard work, Qi Nian has gradually caught up with the progress in class. He had even thought about changing his major, even to the major he studied before he traveled through time.

I didn't change my major later for various reasons. Now that I've been working in computer science for a long time, I think it's still quite interesting, so I decided not to change my major.

"There will be a science and technology competition in a while. Do you want to participate?" Lu Ze was still the first to know the news. According to him, their counselor, Teacher Zhang, probably didn't know the news yet.

Qi Nian was a little confused when he heard this: "I'm afraid I'll hold you back."

"Who said that? You're a good student, better than most people in our class. You work so hard." Lu Ze strongly disagreed with him.

Lu Ze: "Besides, you know how busy I am. I can't handle it alone. I'll have to rely on you. Don't worry, I'll find someone reliable. This kind of event will look good on your resume if you win a prize. It will be good for you to find a job or stay in school for postgraduate study after graduation. I think it's better for you to participate."

Qi Nian was moved: "Okay, then I'll join."

"Okay, that's settled then." Lu Ze was not surprised that Qi Nian agreed.

Maybe it was because of what Lu Ze said about the science and technology competition, Qi Nian has been a little anxious recently. He has been studying harder and has spent most of his time in the library.

"Hey, I can't find you guys recently. Shu Tong is like this, and you are like this too." Wen Yu complained to them: "I said I would treat you guys to dinner."

"Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?" Lu Ze looked suspicious. "Didn't you complain in the group before that you bought a Donkey brand bag recently and you have to eat dirt?"

Wen Yu smiled a little guilty: "Hey, isn't this just to improve our relationship?"

Wen Yu: "But I really can't afford it, let's go eat hot pot."

Qi Nian had just come out of the library and was still a little confused: "Eating hot pot? Sure."

Lu Ze looked suspiciously at Wen Yu, who was smiling with a guilty look on his face, and said nothing.

It was obvious that Wen Yu was indeed out of money, so he chose a nearby hot pot restaurant which was quite cheap. However, the environment and taste were good, and college students often came to patronize the restaurant.

"When I was broke at the end of the month, I would come here to eat." Wen Yu ordered the dishes with familiarity and asked considerately, "Do you like cilantro?"

Qi Nian and Lu Ze pressed them to eat.

Wen Yu: "We are really good friends. We get along so well."

Lu Ze glanced at the strange Wen Yu and silently decided not to eat for a while.

Only Qi Nian took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good."

After a while, the dishes and the pot base came up.

Wen Yu put the fat beef in the pot and said, "The fat beef here is freshly cut. It's delicious. You can eat it after just blanching it. Come and try it."

Qi Nian still didn't notice Wen Yu's unusually attentive attitude. He took a big bite of the fatty beef filled with dipping sauce.

Hmm...it's really delicious. He squinted his eyes happily.

Seeing that they had all started eating, Wen Yu finally revealed his purpose: "Well, since it's so delicious, can I ask you for a favor?"

Lu Ze was prepared and put down his chopsticks immediately: "I haven't eaten yet."

Wen Yu looked at Qi Nian and said, "As expected, you are the most innocent and gullible. I saw you took a big bite."

Everyone thought: "..."

How can this still happen?

But he had already eaten it and couldn't throw it up, so he had to accept his fate: "What do you want to do?"

While asking, he took another big bite and said, "If you guys don't eat any, I'll eat it all!"

Wen Yu sighed, looking very sad: "Don't mention it, my grandma is coming to my house."

Qi Nian was busy eating, so Lu Ze had to answer, "You have a bad relationship with your grandma?"

"More than that, she always causes trouble for me." Wen Yu was really angry: "Sometimes I even doubt whether she is my real grandmother. Oh, by the way, I once asked my dad if my grandmother is his real mother, and then he scolded me and deducted my pocket money."

Everyone thought: "..."

He silently gave a thumbs-up.

Sometimes I feel that Wen Yu is really a bit fierce.

"Ah, you don't understand." Wen Yu said: "After you meet my grandmother, you will definitely have the same doubts."

"Wait, why do I want to meet your grandma?" Qi Nian looked confused.

"Haha, I forgot to tell you. After my grandma came this time, she kept talking about introducing me to a partner, so I had to say that I already have a partner." Wen Yu laughed embarrassedly.

Qi Nian was stunned: "How come you still caught someone to take advantage of?"

"I think it's good." Lu Ze said while eating hot pot, "The characters are consistent before and after, so they won't be exposed. It's best if you find the same person."

Wen Yu nodded immediately: "Yeah, yeah, I think so too."

The two looked at each other and clapped their hands in tacit understanding.

Seeing that Qi Nian didn't say anything, Wen Yu continued to persuade him: "Besides, you and I have different sexual orientations, how great."

Qi Nian: "? What about my sexual orientation?"

Wen Yu: "Don't you like men?"

Qi Nian: "...Why don't I know?"

Wen Yu was immediately curious: "So you like men and women?"

Qi Nian said that this touched his blind spot: "I don't know."

He had never been in love before, so he had no time to think about it. Even after coming here, he didn't have this awareness.

"That's not the point." Wen Yu was very anxious now: "Niannian, just help me."

Qi Nian thought it was no big deal. He had even eaten a hot pot meal prepared by Wen Yu. "Okay."

Wen Yu chuckled and clapped his hands: "You are still the most reliable, but let me tell you, my grandma is very strange. If she said anything, you would just pretend you didn't hear it."

Qi Nian: "Don't worry, I have some experience in this regard."

Isn't it just ignoring someone? It's simple, much easier than asking him to talk to the other person.

"Then I got a free hot pot." Lu Ze said this, and he seemed quite happy while eating.

"It's okay. When you make money, we'll also eat the rich people's food." Wen Yu said immediately.

Qi Nian nodded: "Add 1."

Lu Ze smiled. Who wouldn't like to hear such auspicious words? "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

Qi Nian was a little curious: "I don't even know what you do. Can I ask this?"

"Why can't you ask that?" Lu Ze said, "I found a few seniors to make games with me."

Wen Yu was very supportive: "Wow, you are awesome, right? You look very classy."

"Every industry you haven't entered sounds very high-end, but in fact it's just like that, just to make a living." Lu Ze spoke the truth.

Despite this, Qi Nian and Wen Yu still agreed that Lu Ze was amazing, and they imagined together Lu Ze's future as an industry leader.

Hey, who doesn’t have the dream of clinging to someone powerful?

——

Wen Yu looked at the time. It was just past eight o'clock. At this time in the past, she might still be out shopping, but today she obediently went home early.

By this time, Grandma Wen is probably asleep.

Wen Yu's home is a two-story townhouse. Usually, there are only her, her father, and a maid at home. There are not many people, so it is quite spacious.

Grandma Wen is old and has problems with her legs and feet, so every time she comes to stay, she stays in a room on the first floor.

In order to avoid waking each other up, Wen Yu didn't even turn off the light in the living room. He turned on his cell phone and groped his way upstairs.

Suddenly, an old voice came from the quiet room: "What time is it? You still remember to come back!"

Wen Yu was almost frightened to death by the sudden noise. When she came to her senses, she turned on the light in the living room and found Grandma Wen sitting on the sofa.

The old lady was a little fat and looked wealthy, but for some reason, her eyes always made people feel a little mean. She wore gold earrings, gold bracelets and gold rings.

The gold was polished very smoothly, and it shone with a light that could blind people under the light.

Wen Yu saw that it was her grandmother, and patted her chest with relief: "Grandma, why are you sitting here in the middle of the night? You scared me to death."

"You still remember it's so late at night, and you're not doing your job well. It's already so late that you come back. With your condition like this, no man will want you in the future?" Grandma Wen's mouth was filled with the feudal flavor of the last century.

Wen Yudi reminded himself countless times in his heart: This is my grandma, my father’s mother, just be patient, be patient.

Wen Yu's good mood for the day was gone: "I know, I'm going to sleep."

"How do you talk to me?" Grandma Wen held her cane and pounded it on the ground: "You learn this bad manners from your mother every day."

Wen Yu could have tolerated it at first, but when she heard this, she immediately exploded: "What's wrong with my mother? Why is my mother so uneducated? How can you talk like that?"

"Oh, why are they arguing again?" Wen's father heard the noise and hurried over.

Wen Yu wiped her tears and said nothing. It's not like she had not complained before, but her father was a filial son. Whenever it came to her grandmother, he would just smooth things over. So she didn't want to say anything.

I picked up my bag and went upstairs to my room. I could still hear my grandmother scolding me from behind: "Look at the daughter you taught. I said the one from the Liu family is good. You have someone who understands you and can help you educate your daughter."

Wen Yu slammed the door shut to block out the annoying noise.

Grandma Wen was so angry that she was shaking all over and pointed upstairs: "Look, you are getting more and more capable, and you even slam the door!"

Wen's father also had a headache: "Mom, please stop talking. I am just a girl."

Grandma Wen didn't know what she was thinking about. She rolled her eyes and stopped talking: "Forget it, forget it. I don't want to bother you. It will save me the trouble."

Father Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and after Grandma Wen left, he went to coax Wen Yu.

Alas, every time he heard that grandma was coming to live at home, he felt very tired.

Fortunately, Grandma Wen rarely comes to live at home.

The next day, for some reason, Grandma Wen was quite kind to Wen Yu. Wen Yu just felt awkward and ate his breakfast quickly.

Grandma Wen: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wen Yu: "I'm in a hurry to go to school."

Grandma Wen had no choice but to say, "How about the boy I told you about a few days ago? We know each other well. I am your grandmother and I will not harm you."

Wen Yu frowned: "Grandma, I have a boyfriend."

"What?" Grandma Wen's voice suddenly became much louder: "Come on, why do you have such a strong opinion? Let's split up and come with me to meet this one!"

Wen's father was extremely troubled: "Mom, young people now advocate free love, so it's not appropriate to introduce them. Just leave her alone."

Grandma Wen thought to herself that this was not possible, but she also knew that force would not work, as Wen Yu was a very stubborn girl.

Thinking of what her eldest son told her before she came, Grandma Wen softened her tone: "I am old and I just like to worry. It's okay if you don't listen to me. Bring your partner here for me to meet. Otherwise, I will be worried."

Wen Yuxin thought: Fortunately, I was prepared.

Wen Yu: “I understand.”

When the time comes, just let Qi Nian come over and take a look around to fool people.

——

"You'll stay for half an hour at most, and then I'll find a way to take you away." Wen Yu knew that if he stayed with his grandmother for too long, he might hear some unpleasant words.

Qi Nian thought this was the best idea, and immediately nodded, then followed Wen Yu into the Wen family's home.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a fat old lady sitting on the sofa. She looked at Qi Nian with her drooping eyelids and asked, "Are you the one who is looking for Wen Yu?"

Qi Nian nodded.

Wen Yu thought that her grandmother should at least be polite in front of outsiders, right? In the end, she found that she was overthinking. She only saw that her grandmother looked like a nasty mother-in-law: "Break up with Wen Yu immediately. Our family has introduced a good person to her. Don't let me, an old woman, say anything too unpleasant."

Qi Nian was stunned and looked at Wen Yu subconsciously: Ah...what should I do?

"Grandma!" Wen Yu was furious: "I clearly promised not to care about me, why are you like this!"

"You can't bring this kid to see me without lying?" Grandma Wen thought she was quite smart: "I tell you, I can't just ignore it. Can I ignore the fact that you are wild?"

Seeing that Wen Yu looked like he was about to faint from anger, Granny Wen thought for a moment and softened her tone, but her tone was still not very good: "I am doing this for your own good. Look at this pretty boy. He doesn't look very reliable. How can I be assured of him? It's better for me to introduce him to you. I know him well."

The pretty boys all thought: "..."

He silently took out the mask and put it on.

Wen Yu was about to say something, but unexpectedly she heard Qi Nian say, "Are you really doing this for her own good?"

Grandma Wen felt guilty for a moment, then she looked at Qi Nian and immediately became confident: "I am her biological grandmother. If I don't do good for her, who will? Well, you little rascal haven't done anything yet, but you are trying to sow discord between me and my granddaughter. You...you have a bad heart!"

Wen Yuqi's face turned red and her neck became thick: "Don't be too much...Aren't your words too harsh?"

"You're rebelling!" Grandma Wen was so angry that she poked the ground with her cane, as if she wanted to poke a hole in the ground: "You little stinky girl, you have no respect for your elders. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your father!"

As Grandma Wen said this, she was about to hit someone with her cane.

At this time, Wen's father received a call from the maid and hurried over and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

When Grandma Wen saw him coming back, she immediately threw away her crutches and started to wipe away her tears: "Second brother, your daughter actually wanted to beat me up for her boyfriend. I can't live like this anymore!"

Wen Yu stamped her feet: "Dad, it was obviously her who wanted to hit me for no reason!"

"Stop talking!" Wen's father's filial piety took over again: "Your grandma is old, can't you give her some leeway?"

Wen Yu took a deep breath. She knew her father was like this every time!

Wen Yuqi turned around and looked at Qi Nian embarrassedly: "Sorry, let's go first."

As a result, Qi Nian acted as if he didn't hear her words and just looked at Grandma Wen who was pretending to cry.

Wen Yu was about to say something when he heard Qi Nian's voice: [Uncle Wen is filial, but he doesn't even know that he is being filial to the wrong person. Alas.]

Wen's father frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Grandma Wen crying even louder suddenly, the doubts that had been buried deep in her heart for so many years suddenly surfaced.

Qi Nian: [When Mrs. Wen gave birth to her second son, she met a couple named Liu at the town mayor's hospital. The couple were both teachers, the most popular dual-career workers at the time, and their family conditions were among the best. Mrs. Wen thought that her son would have to suffer with her for the rest of his life, so she came up with an idea and bribed the nurse to swap the two families' children.]

[Oh, Uncle Wen’s original surname was Liu. Old Madam Wen never told anyone about this, but because she always tried to get in touch with her biological son, her eldest son found out. Her eldest son was even more ruthless, saying that since he was not her biological brother, there was no need to care about him. The whole family discussed how to get the Wen family’s property. ]

【Wen Yu's mother said that she divorced Uncle Wen because Old Lady Wen had no choice but to do so, because Old Lady Wen wanted to introduce someone from her family to Uncle Wen. Later, she found out that Uncle Wen had made up his mind not to marry again, and she set her sights on Wen Yu, thinking that Uncle Wen only had one concubine, and as long as they could control this concubine, all the property of the Wen family would be theirs.】

[Ah, it's really vicious and stupid! ]

"He's talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wen was anxious, crying and shouting, "Second son, I worked so hard to raise you. If you were not my biological child, would I worry so much about you?"

Wen Yu was shocked and looked at her father: "Dad, can what Nian Nian said be false? Have you forgotten what happened before?"

Father Wen was completely confused at this moment. Thinking back to the time when his wife and daughter never understood him, he kept saying "This is my biological mother. It wasn't easy for her to raise me." The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like a joke.

He looked at the flustered old lady Wen and said calmly, "Mom."

Mrs. Wen immediately laughed: "Yes, how could I not be your biological mother? I..."

Father Wen closed his eyes and said, "Let's do a paternity test."

If over the years, Mrs. Wen had been a little nicer to him, he would not have doubted it.

However, he did almost all the work in the family since he was a child. Although he had good academic performance, he was forced to drop out of school by Mrs. Wen and go home to work for the family. Later, he worked hard to make it, and Mrs. Wen found various reasons to let him support his elder brother.

Also, the Wen family has been in contact with the Liu family for so many years. He never understood why Mrs. Wen treated the Liu family's son better than him. His daughter even joked, "I think he looks more like grandma's biological son. Look, he looks a lot like grandma. Dad, you don't look like grandma at all."

At that time, Wen's father scolded Wen Yuchou. In fact, he himself was a little suspicious. Every time Mrs. Wen showed obvious favoritism, he was suspicious, but he felt that he should not be suspicious.

His mother was just partial at best. She raised him anyway. If he really thought so, she would be too heartless. Father Wen had told himself this over and over again.

"Dad." Wen Yu looked at his father who was obviously in an abnormal condition and said cautiously.

Father Wen smiled instead, and wiped away his tears as Old Lady Wen scolded him: "Let's go, Mom."
