Chapter 7
As soon as the old man left, everyone present left one after another and each chose a secluded place to discuss the current situation.
Xu Yanwen was worried: "Dad must have noticed Yinyin's feelings and wants to use her to clean up the company's atmosphere."
Xu Yao: "Grandpa probably has no other choice. Seeing Second Aunt's power growing stronger and stronger, and my uncle-in-law also relying on the company's veterans to get new projects, if we don't stop it, the company will soon be divided up. That's the empire that Grandpa worked so hard to build."
Jiang Xin's voice choked with sobs: "But Yinyin is also my biological child whom I found with great difficulty. The old man is too cruel."
Xu Yao gently hugged her mother and comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. If Grandpa insists on doing this, I'm still here. I will take good care of you. Besides, Grandpa doesn't seem to be targeting you. Instead, he seems to want to cultivate her. You know that Grandpa is very suspicious, and your sister's voice can reassure him."
The couple looked at each other, and at the same time thought of their daughter's innocent thoughts, and felt a little speechless for a moment.
After a long pause, Xu Yanwen sighed, "Forget it. If Dad insists on doing this, then Yaoyao and I will have to keep an eye on him. Tang Wan's style is that she will never be entrusted with important tasks. An idle position won't easily provoke hatred. As long as she--"
Thinking of his daughter's adorable way of eating melons, Xu Yanwen smiled and said, "A father's duty is to protect his children unconditionally. Don't worry, my wife. I will take good care of Yaoyao and Yinyin."
Jiang Xin took Xu Yao's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yaoyao. I should have taken care of you, but now that the situation is like this, I can only ask you for help. Just think of it as doing your mother a favor, okay?"
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. Regardless of whether I'm your biological daughter or not, my mission to share your worries and support my sister will never change. In my heart, the grace of raising me will always outweigh the grace of giving birth to me."
Xu Yao's nose felt sore. Her parents always took her feelings into consideration, so how could she be jealous of her sister?
She had originally taken possession of something that belonged to her sister, and now she was just returning it to its original owner. She had spent her entire life trying to repay her parents for their kindness in raising her, so why would she be so petty?
Hearing this, the couple were both moved to tears and touched her head lovingly.
Jiang Xin put her arm around her daughter's shoulders and said, "Come on, let's go to the garden and wait for Yinyin while we walk around."
"Um."
The family of three walked towards the garden.

Next to the lotus pond, 500 meters away from the main house.
Tang Wan struggled to shake off Xu Yanrui's grip and said coldly, "What do you want to do? You don't have the ability to deal with the old man, so the eldest family took the opportunity to turn the tables. Why are you taking your anger out on me?"
"I'm so fucking mad that you cheated on my brother-in-law. Are you crazy? Yanwen is still my biological sister after all. Do you think you can let me live like a human being by doing this?"
"If I hadn't provoked Guo Cheng, your sister wouldn't have been betrayed. Instead of blaming others, why not teach her your skills of breaking off all ties of love so she can wake up and dump Guo Cheng sooner rather than later? The old man has long disliked him anyway. With Guo Cheng, we have another formidable rival for our fortune. Will you ever settle the score?"
Xu Yanrui sneered, "Do you think I haven't said that? Every time someone says something bad about Guo Cheng, she gets mad and won't listen to anyone. You're asking for trouble."
"So, what's wrong with me teasing him? Your sister isn't mad, so why the hell are you so mad?"
"You! You still think you're right?" Xu Yanrui felt that this person was even more shameless than him.
"Why would I ignore you? I gave birth to a son for your Xu family, making you a father and a son. For the sake of his grandson's reputation, the old man gave you some real power, paving the way for our son to inherit the family business in the future. Otherwise, you would still be working as a supervisor on the construction site right now."
"Just for this, you have to worship me and burn incense for me every day to accumulate merit. What's wrong with me playing with Guo Cheng? You are also playing with A Yao's stepmother. What qualifications do you have to condemn me?!"
"you--"
Xu Yanrui's chest was heaving with anger, but he really couldn't find any reason to refute, so he could only swallow this loss in silence.
"Okay, I won't talk to you about this. If the old man really gives her to you, what are you going to ask her to do? Her evil voice is so hateful that it might just bring disaster upon herself."
Whenever Xu Yanrui thought of Xu Yinyin's reckless voice, he would get a headache, toothache, and heartache, and the pain would never stop!
Tang Wan smiled calmly, "You also said that her voice is hateful, then let her attract hatred herself. Don't you like to eat melons? Let her eat herself to death."
Xu Yanrui clapped his hands and cheered, "That's right, none of the veterans in the company are easy to deal with. Once she provokes a tough one, she'll naturally suffer."
"Do you know why I'm better than you? Because I use my brain when doing things, instead of yelling incompetence."
“······”Okay, you are good, you are awesome!

Under the wisteria trellis not far from the main house, Xu Yanwen and Guo Cheng walked side by side.
Guo Cheng said casually, "I remember Yinyin was brought back yesterday, and today Dad sent her to the company for some training. It seems Dad values her very much."
"Did Dad tell you about this before? I feel like this is a bit sudden."
Guo Cheng's intuition told him that the old man could also hear Xu Yinyin's thoughts and was ready to use this superpower to do something.
But he couldn't guess what to do specifically for the time being.
The summer night breeze blew slowly, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants, but Xu Yanwen felt that her whole body was wrapped in coldness.
The old man's decision did not cause her too much emotional fluctuation. The Xu family's business was managed by their own family members. Since Yin Yin was a child of the Xu family, she naturally had the obligation and responsibility to revitalize the family business.
The reason why my second brother's family reacted so strongly was simply because they were worried that the resources they had worked so hard to obtain would be divided up. In addition, my father's preference for Yin Yin would jeopardize A Yao's status, so of course they would be nervous.
The eldest brother's family is worried that the simple Yinyin cannot defeat the second brother and his wife. Although Yaoyao has been working for a year, she has no real power and is unable to help. It is natural for the eldest brother to worry.
But what surprised her was Guo Cheng's attitude.
He usually had no joy or sorrow about his father's work arrangements, but tonight when he heard that Yin Yin was going to the company, he showed wariness and nervousness.
His indirect hints at this moment fully exposed the ambition behind his vigilance.
It wasn't just work matters. He had sex in the car with his secretary, he had a secret affair with Tang Wan, and the busyness of the past year. All of these were like a tangled mess in her mind, making her head ache.
In this chaos, Yin Yin's words would pop up and replay from time to time--
[My little aunt is too well-mannered. If it were me, I would give him a big slap on the spot and tell him why the flowers are so red! Or I would confiscate his crime tools and make him a big butler in an instant.]
She subconsciously moved her gaze to his lower body, and then stood still.
Guo Cheng was startled at first, then followed her gaze downwards. In just half a second, he suddenly remembered Xu Yinyin's thoughts -
[Confiscate his tools and turn him into a chief steward in a second.]
So, Xu Yanwen could also hear her inner voice? !
"What are you looking at?" He moved the coat on his arm toward the middle of his legs.
Xu Yanwen smiled in her heart. Was she feeling guilty?
If it weren't for Yin Yin's inner voice, she would probably never have known about his affair with Tang Wan in her entire life.
Xu Yanwen is so pathetic. How long are you going to continue living this life of pretending to be deaf and dumb?
She exhaled deeply, then raised her eyes to look at Guo Cheng, a look of determination suddenly welling up in her eyes, "Guo Cheng, we--"
"I have an appointment with Dr. Xu for a checkup the day after tomorrow."
Guo Cheng interrupted her before she could finish her words.
With his understanding of Xu Yanwen, he could guess what she was thinking just by looking at her or making a subtle movement. She just wanted to ask for a divorce.
Just because of Xu Yinyin's damn voice, she actually began to doubt him. How hateful!
"Hmm?" Xu Yanwen was a little surprised, but joy slowly welled up in her heart.
Dr. Xu is the most authoritative andrology expert in China and has been specializing in the treatment of infertility for over 30 years.
As early as when they got married, she suggested that he also get checked to make sure that neither of them had any physical infertility problems, and then try to get pregnant together, but he always made excuses for being busy, and this dragged on for three years.
For the past three years, she has been seeing doctors and seeking medical advice alone, trying to get pregnant.
She also tried to persuade him to get a check-up, but she held back the words when they came to her lips. Perhaps, his refusal was due to a man's self-esteem, thinking that having children was a woman's job and that men would not have any problems.
Thinking of his arrogant character and his strength in that area, she did not mention it again and continued to work hard.
But as three years passed, she became more and more exhausted and even wanted to give up at one point.
Guo Cheng's sudden compromise gave her hope again. As long as he was willing to accommodate her, it meant that he still had her and this family in his heart.
As long as he is willing to turn back, take the initiative to have a child, and make concessions and make amends for the family, she is willing to forgive him.
Guo Cheng saw through her joy at a glance and secretly sighed that he had made the right bet.
"Actually, I've been avoiding it all this time, thinking there's nothing wrong with me. My pride has also made me ashamed to face my body. But seeing you go to the hospital and back again, tirelessly trying to get pregnant, I'm truly ashamed. Compared to your love for me, I've been so cold-blooded and heartless towards you. I'm sorry, Wenwen. I'm so sorry."
When Guo Cheng finished speaking, his voice choked and tears suddenly welled up in his red eyes and rolled down his cheeks. He portrayed the self-conceited, inferior and self-blaming appearance of an incompetent husband vividly. Even the best actor would call him a great guy when he saw him, not to mention Xu Yanwen who loved him to the core.
"Ah Cheng, stop talking. I understand everything. I can understand your resistance, and I have never blamed you."
Xu Yanwen wiped away his tears with heartache, put her palm on his face and stroked it gently, with dependence and tenderness in her eyes again.
Guo Cheng felt that this wave was stable, and quickly hugged her tightly in his arms, "Wenwen, I was wrong. I failed your love. I am not a good husband, nor am I a good lover. I deserve to die, and I deserve to be scolded."
He stood up suddenly, grabbed her hand and hit her in the face, "Hit me, wake me up, let me open my eyes and see how stupid I am. You are so good, why don't I know how to cherish you?"
"No, don't do this, Ah Cheng." Xu Yanwen held her hand tightly, not having the heart to hurt him at all.
"Wow, wow, I'm sorry, I'm sorry--"
Guo Cheng knelt on the ground exhausted, crying heart-wrenchingly.
Xu Yanwen looked at this fragile man, and her heart softened. The mess in her head was completely cut off by his gentle stroke, and her love brain once again took over.
"Ah Cheng, starting from today, let's never talk about the past again and start over, okay?"
"Are you willing to forgive my past mistakes?" Guo Cheng raised his handsome face, which seemed broken, and looked at her humbly.
"I was wrong in some ways, too. Let's just call it a day, okay?"
"Wenwen, how can you be so nice? I love you, I love you, my wife."
Guo Cheng once again embraced the person in his arms and held him tightly.
Xu Yanwen felt his violent heartbeat and fell in love with him again.
