Wen Hangxing turned away.
The housekeeper walked over to Old Master Wen and said, "Old Master, why are you doing this? No matter what, the young master is half the Wen family's blood. He has finally come back once. Don't let this matter cause any rift between the two of you."
Old Master Wen banged his cane hard. "So what? Not to mention that he has half of that woman's inferior genes, even the fact that he lives with Wen Zeli is impossible for me to trust him completely."
The butler looked at Mr. Wen's stubborn expression and sighed deeply in his heart: other people's prejudices are like a mountain. Even after so many years, the prejudice in the old man's heart still prevented him from understanding the two people he loved most.
It's all fate.
A tall and polite young man came in from the gatehouse, holding a mahogany box in his hand.
When Mr. Wen saw the person coming, a smile appeared on his face, "Shang Yu is here."
Runze's voice greeted me from outside the door. "Good evening, Grandpa Wen. I haven't contacted you for a long time since I went abroad. I really miss you."
Then he looked at the housekeeper and said, "Good evening, Uncle Ji."
The smile on Mr. Wen's face never faded. "Since you're here, why bring a gift?"
Ye Shangyu lowered his eyebrows and explained, "I went to Nancheng a few days ago. The local Qinghe square cake is quite good. It's soft, chewy and chewy. You should like it. So I thought of bringing some back for you."
Mr. Wen was quite pleased and gestured to the butler to take it. "Shang Yu has always been polite and honest. If that's the case, then it's troublesome."
"No, no, I just thought you would like it, so I did these things casually. You don't have to be too proud of it." Ye Shangyu waved his hands quickly.
Unintentional concern can touch people's hearts. Looking at the young man in front of him, Mr. Wen felt even more satisfied. He suddenly brought up an old story from the past, "I'm sorry for what happened to you three years ago. What are your plans now that you're back?"
Ye Shangyu's eyes deepened slightly, his face pure and innocent, like a white lotus untouched by dust. "I no longer care about what happened back then. Grandpa Wen, don't take it to heart."
Mr. Wen felt even more apologetic. "It's his fault, so he should bear the consequences. But Shang Yu, he's the young master of the Wen family and the future heir, so I can only resort to the last resort of sending you abroad."
Ye Shangyu sneered inwardly: "It was all so high-sounding, but really it was all for Wen Hangxing." How could some people be so lucky? He had clearly planned on that man to such an extent, but to his surprise, he didn't drag him down in the end. Instead, he was sent abroad in a high-profile manner to avoid affecting him, which was a huge loss of face.
And what about Wen Hangxing? He was still the high-ranking young master of the Wen family, attending the best aristocratic school, with two close friends, yet he was still being praised to the skies by those in his circle. Why? Why?!
Ye Shangyu secretly dug his nails into his flesh, feeling the pain and hatred gnawing at his bones. This time, he was determined to bring ruin to that person's reputation.
Suddenly, a surprised female voice came from my ear, "Are there guests at home?"
Ye Shangyu raised his eyes and was distracted by the woman in red clothes and bright lips opposite him. He had never seen such a flamboyant and dazzling person. Since she came in, the whole room seemed to be brought in by some sunlight, making it brighter.
Ye Shangyu looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in the main hall with scrutiny. Combining her lazy steps and relaxed expression, he guessed her identity almost instantly - Wen Zeli's newlywed wife, the current mistress of the Wen family, and the only mistress, Lin Yitong.
Ye Shangyu didn't greet him immediately. Instead, he turned his head to ask for confirmation from Mr. Wen, "This must be Madam Wen, right?"
Mr. Wen nodded, "Yes."
Then he looked at Lin Yitang and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "This outfit looks very elegant, suitable for your status as the mistress of the Wen family. Your mother-in-law used to have a kingfisher-inlaid wooden hairpin. I'll have someone get it for you later."
After coming down, he got a piece of jewelry for free. Lin Yitang responded crisply: "Okay, thank you, Dad."
Ye Shangyu was shocked. Mr. Wen and Madam Qi knew each other when they were young and they were deeply in love. Since Madam Wen passed away, Mr. Wen had carefully kept all of her things. Now he gave them to someone else. It seems that Lin Yitong is very favored by Mr. Wen.
With this turn of thought, Ye Shangyu's attitude towards Lin Yitong changed slightly.
Ye Shangyu greeted with a smile, "Good evening, Aunt Wen. I'm Ye Shangyu, a friend of Hangxing."
While he was looking at Lin Yitang, Lin Yitang was also looking at him. Ever since he turned his head to ask Mr. Wen just now, Lin Yitang keenly felt that he was testing Mr. Wen's attitude towards him, commonly known as "serving the right dish to the right person".
After realizing that Mr. Wen treated him well, he became respectful and greeted him politely.
Although the boy in front of her was smiling, Lin Yitang always gave her the impression that he was not as happy as he appeared, which was very disconcerting.
But out of politeness, she still replied, "Hello. Xiaoye, please call me Aunt Lin. My last name is Lin."
Ye Shangyu slapped his mouth guiltily. "Look at me, I was thinking that Aunt Lin would become a member of the Wen family after marrying into the family. I didn't expect to make a mistake in addressing her."
Lin Yitang found it funny that he glanced at Old Man Wen while confessing. His words also implied that he was being petty.
Unfortunately, Ye Shangyu will be disappointed. Although it is taboo for wealthy families like these to betray their own people, people are all made of flesh and blood, and there will always be favoritism.
If he had used this implication a few days before Lin Yitang came into contact with Old Man Wen, Old Man Wen might have felt a little uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Lin Yitang had already established her identity as the hostess in front of the old house and Old Man Wen, so this trick was completely ineffective.
Lin Yitang looked at Ye Shangyu as if he was watching a joke. When he found that Mr. Wen didn't say anything, his expression twisted for a moment, and he said gently: "It's okay, Xiaoye, just be careful next time."
"Yes." Ye Shangyu squeezed out a word from his mouth. Even though he was reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that he had met an opponent in the Wen family.
Before Lin Yitong married into the Wen family, Ye Shangyu thrived in the family with his sweet expression and ability to read people's expressions. After all, he was able to win the favor of Old Man Wen, and everyone was happy to respect him.
It can be said that Lin Yitong is the only person who has not made things go according to his wishes during his long time of living freely in the old house.
Ye Shangyu felt a little panic in his heart, and he forced himself to comfort himself: It doesn't matter, Wen Hangxing, as Grandpa Wen's grandson, can be alienated from Grandpa Wen by his design, and the same goes for this woman who just married into the Wen family by chance.
