Chapter 778 Her Wish
There were quite a few customers in the money shop, and according to the rules, they had to wait for a while before it was their turn.
But as soon as Wen Wan walked into the money shop, the shopkeeper came up to greet her.
Wen Wan glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that it was a middle-aged man she didn't recognize. She remained calm and just responded faintly.
She was only the nominal owner of the Wen family business, but in reality, the Wen family's business was basically managed by Shen Yu.
In fact, she had never seen these shopkeepers before.
However, since the shopkeeper recognized her at a glance, it was obvious that Shen Yu had given instructions in advance.
When she thought of this, she felt a little more at ease.
Meng Jin, who was following behind Wen Wan, saw this scene and his eyes sparkled.
These days, he took a handwritten letter from Wen Wan to each shop of Wen's company to count the finances, and the people in those shops were quite cooperative.
But he always had doubts about Wen Wan's ability to control the Wen family business.
After all, in his impression, Wen Wan didn't seem like someone who could do business.
Meng Jin has always been cautious in doing things. Originally, he was worried about whether a woman like Wen Wan had the real power in the Wen family business. Now, seeing the attitude of the money shop owner towards Wen Wan, he finally believed that Wen Wan was the head of the Wen family.
That’s good. This way, he can really get most of the wealth of the Wen family business.
Wen Wan pretended not to see Meng Jin's expression and just gave instructions to the shopkeeper in a deep voice.
"We are here to collect the banknotes. Bring me all the banknotes."
When she spoke, her voice was loud and she didn't hide anything at all.
There were already many customers in the bank, and when they heard her words about her wealth, they all turned around to look.
The shopkeeper seemed surprised as well and asked awkwardly, "All the banknotes?"
"Yes, that's all." Wen Wan snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "I am the head of the Wen family. This is my future husband. All my belongings naturally belong to my future husband."
She strode arrogantly towards the back of the bank, saying as she walked, "The Wen family business is mine. I can give it to anyone I want. Stop nagging and go get it."
The shopkeeper walked by and helped her open the curtain, saying repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll get it right away, boss, please wait a moment."
Wen Wan responded indifferently and led Meng Jin to sit in the tea room behind the bank.
The servant was very considerate and served hot tea.
Meng Jin had no interest in drinking tea and kept looking towards the door.
He was also shocked by Wen Wan's tone, as if waiting to see whether the shopkeeper would really take the banknotes.
When Wen Wan saw his anxious look, a flash of contempt flashed in her eyes, and she drank her tea leisurely.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back with a brocade box in his hand.
Meng Jin looked up, his eyes burning.
Wen Wan stood up calmly, walked over and slowly opened the brocade box, and casually took out a stack of silver bills from the box.
Meng Jin stretched his neck, as if he wanted to see it more carefully, but Wen Wan's figure was blocking Meng Jin right in front of him, so he could only see a corner of the banknote.
Scholars love to save face. Even if he wants to rush forward and grab the banknotes, he still looks calm and indifferent, as if money is dirt.
Wen Wan turned her back to him, deliberately counted the banknotes, and nodded with satisfaction.
After she finished counting, she put the banknotes back into the brocade box, then took the box and said to Meng Jin, "Master Meng, the banknotes are all in the brocade box. Let's go."
Meng Jin responded in a daze, stood up and followed her out.
The two of them stayed in the bank for less than a cup of tea.
But this scene of going in and out has already caught the eyes of many people.

Wen Wan got on the carriage and held the brocade box containing the silver bills in her arms.
Meng Jin glanced at it calmly for several times, but finally couldn't help but said with a smile, "Xiao Wan, the mountain road is bumpy, it would be inconvenient for you to hold the brocade box. Why don't you let me hold it?"
Wen Wan was not on guard at all and immediately handed over the brocade box.
Instead, Meng Jin was stunned for a moment. He took the brocade box with both hands, quietly weighed the box, and the smile on his lips widened three points.
In front of Wen Wan, he still maintained his noble personality and did not open the brocade box.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the door of Goddess Guanyin.
Meng Jin held the brocade box in one hand and helped Wen Wan get off the carriage with the other, with an extremely attentive attitude.
Wen Wan suppressed her laughter and said softly, "We're going into the temple to worship the gods. Bringing so many valuables would make us look like we're materialistic. I'm afraid Goddess Guanyin wouldn't like it. How about putting the brocade box on the carriage?"
"Put it in the carriage?" Meng Jin immediately shook his head. "It's not appropriate to put such a valuable item in the carriage."
"But we can't offend Goddess Guanyin." Wen Wan advised.
Meng Jin was still a little hesitant.
Wen Wan glanced at the seven or eight guards behind him and said nonchalantly:
"Why don't we let them stay and guard the carriage while we go in to worship the deity? This Guanyin Temple only has one main hall. You can see what's going on inside even from the entrance. It's only a few steps away. If anything happens, they'll rush in immediately."
Meng Jin looked inside and found that the temple was indeed a small one, with only one main gate and one side gate. A heavy iron chain hung on the side gate, and it seemed that the main gate was the only way in and out.
As long as his men guard the main gate, it will be safe.
Thinking of this, Meng Jin put the brocade box back into the car.
"All of you, stay and guard the carriage."
Seven or eight guards immediately took orders.
Wen Wan was the first to enter the Guanyin Temple, followed closely by Meng Jin.
This temple is really small. Even in the main hall, there is only a statue of Guanyin. There are three old cushions under the statue, and the donation box for incense money is missing a corner.
Seeing this, Meng Jin's eyes became more suspicious.
Wen Wan lowered her voice and said, "Put away your suspicious look. Although this temple is small, the goddess Guanyin is very powerful. I made a wish to marry my ideal husband, and look, hasn't it come true?"
Only then did Meng Jin calm down.
Wen Wan knelt down on the cushion directly below the Guanyin statue and turned to Meng Jin, saying, "Master Meng, why are you still standing there? Kneel down quickly."
Meng Jin lifted up his robe and knelt down.
Wen Wan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, then she clasped her hands together and began to mutter to herself.
"I am Wenwan, a believer, and have come to visit Goddess Guanyin. I beg her to let me go out and meet a billionaire. He will hit a wall and fall into my arms. He will fall in love with me at first sight and beg me to marry him. But I won't agree. I will tell him that I am just an ordinary person and not suitable for him. All I want is five taels of silver as a thank you gift. I will take this five taels of silver to the gambling house and win one hundred thousand taels of silver in one day. Then I will use this money to do business..."
She talked a lot of nonsense and talked for half a cup of tea.
But her voice was not small at all. Meng Jin, who was kneeling beside her, listened from beginning to end and felt more and more that something was wrong.
Meng Jin swallowed in shock, "Xiao Wan, what are you talking about? Aren't you here to fulfill a vow?"
