Chapter 34 Clues
Wen Song had no idea what had happened to Zhao Mingzhuo recently. The other party rarely contacted him, and when he did, it was only to ask if he had enough money for medical expenses.
His answer to this was much simpler.
"--enough."
One should not accept rewards without merit.
He used to be like this too.
Not to mention that Ms. Song Lanxue has now changed hospitals, and since Guan Sui has already paid the medical expenses, he will naturally not accept Zhao Mingzhuo's money again.
Moreover, Zhao Mingzhuo has been asking him questions more frequently lately, as if he wants to compensate him with something.
But Wen Song doesn't need that.
Zhao Mingzhuo has helped him a lot over the years, so he certainly cannot accept any extra money.
Guan Ju on the other side also seemed very busy. She used to forward news from the official WeChat account to him every day, but later she would not see him at all. It seemed that she was too busy with work. The only thing she would do was send him a "goodnight" message before going to bed every day.
With neither of the two Alphas around, Wen Song felt a little relieved.
But my good mood disappears as soon as I go back to the Wen family home on the weekend.
Wen Xu, who was sitting on the sofa playing on her phone, saw him come back and first gave a simple "Oh," before asking in a gossipy tone, "Have you and Zhao Mingzhuo had a falling out lately?"
As usual, Wen Song would go to see Grandpa Wen first when he returned, but today he heard that Grandpa Wen was out and wouldn't be back until the afternoon, so he simply didn't go upstairs and sat down on the sofa instead.
Upon hearing Wen Xu's question, he answered without hesitation, "No."
Wen Xu lifted her head from her phone, raised an eyebrow, pouted, and asked again, "Really not?"
Wen Song: "Really."
Wen Xu crossed his legs, turned off his phone screen, and looked Wen Song up and down. Seeing that the other party was not lying or pretending, he guessed that he was unaware of Zheng Rong's recent situation.
"Have you been in contact with Zhao Mingzhuo recently?"
Wen Song asked, puzzled, "Yes. Why are you asking this?"
Wen Xu pondered for a while, feeling extremely conflicted.
During this time, he learned some things about Zheng Rong from Duan Ze, especially Zhao Mingzhuo, who started to cooperate with Qisheng in order to win the project and inherit Zheng Rong.
It sounds like a cooperation, but it's really just a marriage alliance.
Upon learning of this, Wen Xu immediately cursed, "Scumbag Alpha."
Even knowing that the relationship between Zhao Mingzhuo and Wen Song might not be as simple as they thought, not ending this relationship before formally contacting other Omegas was, frankly, trying to have their cake and eat it too.
He sought financial assistance from Qisheng and found a sense of "home" from Wensong.
This behavior is usually seen in bad Alphas.

What does Wen Song's love life have to do with him?
They're not close enough to understand or discipline each other's private affairs.
Besides, things are still very uncertain, and who knows what Zhao Mingzhuo is planning to do? What if Wen Song gets too caught up in the role and sheds tears because of the other person's sadness?
"What's wrong?" Wen Song asked when she saw Wen Xu hesitate. "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Wen Xu: "No."
Wen Xu: "I have nothing to say to you."
Wen Song: "?"
He doesn't seem like he has nothing to say.
Instead, it seemed as if he was hiding something from someone and was starting to think about how to tell them.
"Really?" This time it was Wen Song's turn to ask.
Wen Xu helplessly shrugged: "Of course it's true."
"I just want to remind you that Alphas are not a good thing in today's society."
"Don't be foolish enough to entrust yourself to anyone, especially that bunch of unreliable Alphas from Suicheng."
"Why should I tell you all this?"
"Whatever you want."
"It really depends on you."
"But that Alpha—"
Wen Song: "?"
He was amused by Wen Xu's self-talk.
"Are you trying to remind me or not?"
Wen Xu immediately said, "Who wants to remind you?"
Wen Song knew that Wen Xu was awkward and said one thing but meant another, so he stopped asking and clearly reminded him.
"I don't have a good impression of Alpha."
Wen Xu seemed unconvinced, stroking her chin as she asked, "Where's Zhao Mingzhuo? Aren't you two dating?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Song asked, "You want me to be wary of Zhao Mingzhuo, right?"
Wen Xu: ""
Wen Song guessed that something must have happened to Zhao Mingzhuo, otherwise Wen Xu would not have said those words for no reason.
The other party did not specify what the matter was.
But based on what was said, it must be related to "relationships".
He asked, "Has something happened to Zhao Mingzhuo?"
"I don't know." Wen Xu didn't really know very well.
Wen Song nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Zhao Mingzhuo has been acting strangely lately. He's been transferring money to him frequently, as if he's trying to make amends. He doesn't contact him as often as before, and you can hardly find him or hear from him anymore.
Their romantic relationship seemed to exist as if it never existed.
I wouldn't feel at ease giving the money to Wen Song.
"Don't thank me." Wen Xu felt goosebumps all over her body.
"I haven't helped you with anything, and I'm too lazy to help you, so don't flatter yourself."
Wen Song did not intend to say anything more.
He never imagined becoming so-called "brothers" with Wen Xu.
If the other party doesn't try to trip me up or engage in any underhanded tactics, then exchanging a few simple words shouldn't be a problem.
In particular, offering a few words of advice is already a way of showing concern for him.
Even though Wen Xu always spoke to him with an expression of great dislike.
“Okay,” Wen Song said.
Wen Xu pouted and took out her phone to continue looking at her things.
The two of them sat peacefully in the living room, each doing their own thing.
Until Grandpa Wen returned home.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Wen Xu noticed that Grandpa Wen's complexion was not good.
Wen Song stood up and called out, "Grandpa."
Grandpa Wen nodded, sat down in the main seat of the sofa, and sighed, "My old bones have been exhausted from worrying about the company. Others are competing with outsiders, but we are fighting among family members."
"The whole company is in complete chaos now."
"We finally managed to settle down on one issue and things were calming down, but now we're starting to sabotage each other because of other projects."
It's understandable if it's about competing for family interests, but everyone has their own selfish motives, and some even want to eliminate their own brothers.
This led to a chaotic and divided atmosphere within the company, with various factions and a lack of unity among superiors and subordinates.
