Chapter 128 It would be better to let her leave.
After Wang Jinghui finished speaking, he wasn't in a hurry. He believed that Wen Qianqian would understand.
"Are you sure you can keep this from her finding out for the rest of your life?" Wen Qianqian asked after a long silence.
Wang Jinghui shook her head. "I didn't think that much. I'll take what I can get each day as it comes. I can't think about so much."
"Thinking about it is useless. I never imagined that I, a young master from a respectable family, would end up like this!"
"Try to marry the second son of the Wen family as soon as possible," Wang Jinghui said after thinking for a moment.
It would have been better if Wang Jinghui hadn't mentioned this, because Wen Qianqian's face fell even more. "She even married Wen Jinzhou. My mother and I were kicked out of the Wen family."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinghui frowned. "How did you get kicked out?"
"Is it because Wen Changyu's biological daughter has returned?" he asked again.
"Otherwise what?" Wen Qianqian retorted angrily.
Wang Jinghui glanced at her but didn't argue with her. She just frowned and said, "His daughter has only been back for a short time?"
"Furthermore, given Wen Changyu's feelings for Xu Shanshan, how could he make this decision so easily?"
It has to be said that over the years, Wang Jinghui has come to know Wen Changyu quite well.
Wen Qianqian stammered and couldn't give a clear answer, only saying, "I came to see you today because Mom sent me. She asked me to come and ask you to come over and give me some advice on how to handle this."
Wang Jinghui glanced at Wen Qianqian, perhaps thinking about her own retirement in the future, and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Before leaving the teahouse, he once again instructed, "When you get back, don't mention a single word about what happened today."
Wen Qianqian nodded.
After Wang Jinghui left, Wen Qianqian sat in the teahouse for a long time without moving. What she had seen today was still too much of a shock for her.
So she stayed outside until after 3 p.m. before going back.
She entered the room before Wang Jinghui and told Xu Shanshan that her father said he would come that evening.
Xu Shanshan looked at the empty house, propped herself up, and said, "Then I'll go buy some groceries!"
Wen Qianqian watched her retreating figure, her lips moving for a few moments, but she ultimately said nothing.
She knew in her heart that if Xu Shanshan found out about this, she would probably go crazy, so she had to keep her mouth shut.
But later, Wen Qianqian told Xu Shanshan about it, just to provoke her. But that's another story.
Back to the present, Xu Shanshan went to buy groceries and returned. When Wang Jinghui arrived in the evening, Xu Shanshan was busy in the kitchen.
Just as Wang Jinghui entered, Xu Shanshan brought the last dish to the table.
Three people, three dishes and a soup—that's a luxury these days.
But Xu Shanshan said, "There aren't any good vegetables at the market, so just make do with what you have."
Wang Jinghui pulled out a chair for her first, saying, "Who would have thought that Miss Xu from back then would have such good cooking skills now?"
"Shanshan, you've worked hard."
Upon hearing his words, Xu Shanshan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Her gaze towards him also became sticky.
Wang Jinghui served her another bowl of soup, and then served herself one. Ignoring the heat, she began to drink it in large gulps. After swallowing a mouthful of pork rib soup, Wang Jinghui raised her hand to cover her mouth, which was burning, and praised it highly, "It's delicious, Shanshan. Whoever marries you will be so lucky."
Xu Shanshan choked with emotion, "It's so hot..."
Wang Jinghui immediately shook his head. He looked at Wen Qianqian beside him, then his gaze fell on Xu Shanshan. "I think about this scene every day, but even after all these years, I rarely have such an opportunity."
His eyes were filled with regret, then he lowered his head to drink his soup.
He portrayed the image of a deeply affectionate man perfectly.
Xu Shanshan's beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears. Before the tears fell, she hurriedly lowered her head to drink her soup.
Tears streamed down her face and fell into the soup bowl; she felt the soup was a bit too salty today.
Wen Qianqian used to not think anything of Wang Jinghui's behavior, but seeing it today, she felt goosebumps all over her body. Afraid that her expression would reveal something, Wen Qianqian quickly lowered her head and drank her soup.
The room fell silent for a moment.
The meal was very "warm and cozy." Xu Shanshan kept serving food to Wang Jinghui and Wen Qianqian, urging the father and daughter to eat more.
Wang Jinghui accepted all comers, after all, he was a man, his cooking skills were limited, and he was used to being free and lazy, so in terms of cooking, his skills really couldn't compare to Xu Shanshan's.
His salary was limited, and he certainly couldn't afford to spend as much on food as Xu Shanshan, so he accepted all the food that Xu Shanshan put on his plate.
Wang Jinghui put down his bowl, his stomach bulging, and praised, "Shanshan, your cooking skills are truly amazing." He rubbed his stomach and said, "If I keep eating your cooking, I don't know how much weight I'll gain in a year."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shanshan immediately invited, "If you're free, you can come over for dinner tomorrow night."
“Anyway, it’s just me and Qianqian here,” Xu Shanshan said.
But Wang Jinghui's smile tightened. He twitched his eyelids and said, "I'm afraid tomorrow won't work. Tomorrow is the night shift, so I took the day off to come."
"Let's wait a couple of days. I'll switch classes in a couple of days and then we'll talk about it."
Xu Shanshan considered that he had to go to work, so she didn't insist. "Okay, we'll talk about it after you switch shifts."
Afterwards, Xu Shanshan cleared the dishes, and Wang Jinghui wanted to get up to help her, but Xu Shanshan refused, saying, "You have to go to work every day, which is hard enough. It's rare for me to have the opportunity to cook a meal for you, so please rest!"
Wang Jinghui didn't stand on ceremony and said, "No wonder everyone wants to find a wife and start a family. It's always good to have a home." He looked at Xu Shanshan's face and sighed.
Xu Shanshan blushed and took the bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Shanshan cut some fruit and then said to Wang Jinghui, "Qianqian told you what happened, right?"
Wang Jinghui frowned and nodded. "I didn't expect Wen Changyu to be so heartless. How could he treat you like this?" Wang Jinghui was quite indignant.
But what he said was completely different from what he had said to Wen Qianqian before.
In front of Wen Qianqian, he said that given Wen Changyu's feelings for Xu Shanshan, he would not make this decision lightly.
When he got to Xu Shanshan, he immediately berated Wen Changyu for being heartless.
These words truly struck a chord with Xu Shanshan, and tears immediately streamed down her face. "He and his family have always been like this. They act well in front of outsiders, but they are actually incredibly hypocritical."
Wang Jinghui quickly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, saying, "Don't be sad, Shanshan, this kind of person isn't worth your tears."
Seeing that someone understood her, Xu Shanshan wiped away her tears and began to sob, "If that hadn't happened back then, how could I have married him? Marrying him... has wasted my life."
Wang Jinghui still said, "Shanshan, you've been wronged."
Xu Shanshan cried for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past."
“Jinghui, the main reason I asked Qianqian to call you here today is…” Xu Shanshan bit her lip, finding it difficult to speak, “It seems that the Wen family is completely captivated by that brat. Even… even Wen Changyu has unconditionally sided with her. If this continues, I’m afraid Qianqian’s life in the Wen family won’t be easy.”
"And what happened back then..."
Wang Jinghui said, "It would be good to let her leave."
