Chapter 40: Seriously? Or just playing around?
Wen Xu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Finally, with a sigh, he said, "As long as you're not sad."
"You really don't say much. It feels like all you've given me today is 'I know' and 'I don't know,' and that's about it."
"Such a dry and uninteresting answer will really make people lose interest."
After saying that, he seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing and wanted to make amends, but in the end he simply let it go.
He didn't actually mean that Wen Song was boring or dull.
It doesn't mean that the other party must please or obey any Alpha.
But when facing someone you like, you definitely need to make some changes to attract their attention.
However, someone who likes you will definitely tolerate all your minor flaws and turn them into strengths.
There's a saying that goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Wen Song knew that Wen Xu did not mean to belittle him.
That's how they always act.
They always say one thing and mean another.
She always pretends to hate him, but in reality, she doesn't have any bad intentions.
“I know,” Wen Songyi said, then, remembering what Wen Xu had just said, added, “I’m not entirely clear on the situation with Zhao Mingzhuo yet.”
Finally, I added, "Let him bring it up with me first."
The second party has no right to terminate their relationship.
Unless he returns all the benefits he has received from Zhao Mingzhuo over the years.
Wen Xu looked troubled and asked one last question, "What if he explains it to you? Or what if he asks you to be his mistress? You know, Alphas these days are really disgusting. I'm not talking about all Alphas, but specifically a certain group. Those who are rich and powerful like to keep mistresses on the side because they have no feelings for their Omega at home."
This situation is very common in the industry.
This also applies to his Omega father and Wen Chengfeng.
Wen Song: "No, it won't happen."
There is a contract between them.
If Zhao Mingzhuo decides to get married in the future, the contract will be terminated early.
The other person hasn't mentioned marriage to him yet, so it probably hasn't really progressed to that point.
As an outsider, Wen Xu was unaware of the nature of the deal between Wen Song and Zhao Mingzhuo. From his perspective, he only thought that the two had a normal yet somewhat abnormal romantic relationship.
The normal thing is that Zhao Mingzhuo himself said that Wen Song was his boyfriend.
The abnormality lies in the fact that Zhao Mingzhuo is not serious about relationships, and Wen Song seems to be a pet that he pays to keep by his side.
"Just be more careful," Wen Xu said without further ado.
Wen Songyang smiled and said, "Don't worry about me."
Wen Xu retorted stubbornly, "I wasn't worried about you."
"Enough said. Let's go find our elder brother and the others now, and then we'll go and offer our blessings to Guan Ju."
Wen Song nodded: "Okay."
She started thinking about what kind of birthday gift she should give Guan Ju after the banquet.
Putting everything else aside, the other party helped Song Lanxue contact doctors, arrange treatment, handle hospitalization and prepare for surgery, and covered all the expenses themselves.
Everything was done to demonstrate "sincerity".
In addition, Guan Ju also gave him a jade pendant with two fish motifs, which he still keeps at home. He has tried to return it to her, but it was always returned intact each time.
There's no way around it.
I might as well stay.
The guests testify to the influence of Dingsheng Group and the Guan family in Suicheng. Most of them are well-known figures in various industries and circles. Wen Song had seen them on TV and in newspapers before he came to Suicheng.
I never imagined that one day I would see them all in real life.
Wen Song took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, nodded to express his gratitude, and followed closely behind Wen Xu to find Wen Su, who was talking to others.
As for Wen Jiaming, he has long since disappeared.
Very good.
Avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Wen Su clinked glasses with the people he was talking to to end the conversation, then turned to Wen Song and said, "Let's go."
As the protagonist of the birthday banquet, Guan Ju was surrounded by a steady stream of guests. At this moment, she was nodding and clinking glasses with two distinguished Alphas, chatting happily.
Seeing this, Wen Xu asked curiously, "Who are those two Alphas? I've never seen them in Suicheng before."
Wen Song's gaze lingered briefly on the Alpha mentioned by Wen Xu, who was three meters away, before shifting away.
Wen Su, who spends his days shuttling between various companies, slowly explained to the two people beside him who were unfamiliar with the industry: "It's normal that you haven't seen them before. They are not from Suicheng. The one on the left is called Chu Chen, and the Alpha on the right is her legal husband, Ji Sui."
"No, he changed his name later to Ji Xingchen."
"You may recognize their names but not know them. Mentioning CC should give you a clue about the connection."
Wen Xu was surprised: "Isn't CC an internet company that was founded just two years ago? In just two years, it has risen step by step from a new company to a top ten enterprise in the country."
Wen Su nodded: "Yes. They are CC's bosses."
CC's influence is widespread throughout the country, and it is a household name. It can be seen everywhere in life. The company's games, brands, and entertainment industry are all quite famous.
Wen Song's work also involves research and development projects with CC.
I never expected to meet the mastermind here.
“Guan Ju has met quite a few important people during the years he’s been abroad,” Wen Xu said with a smirk. “No wonder Grandpa wants me to marry him; he has Dingsheng and the Guan family behind him, as well as a huge network of influential people.”
Almost every point was enough to save the Wen family from the crisis caused by internal strife.
“Unfortunately, Guan Ju and I don’t get along,” Wen Xu shrugged. “I estimate that our pheromone compatibility is below average, which would easily lead to arguments, fights, and repulsion.”
"He doesn't like me."
"I don't like him either."
Wen Su remained silent and did not respond.
From the perspective of the family's interests, it's natural to hope that Wen Xu can make a move, but from the older brother's perspective, it's different. What he can do is stabilize the current situation of the Wen Group and avoid so-called marriages based on mutual benefit.
As for Wen Song—
His thoughts differed from those of the other two.
Guan Ju's status was even more formidable than imagined. Even Zhao Mingzhuo, who was hailed as the "Prince of Zhengrong," could not only show him some courtesy but also had no chance to confront him head-on with his powerful backing.
Such a top-tier Alpha should be paired with an Omega who is of equal social standing or has a very high compatibility.
Instead of becoming his mistress.
Wen Song sometimes really didn't know what Guan Ju wanted to get from him, a Beta.
Is he serious? Or just playing around?
