Ye Shangyu desperately hoped that Wen Hangxing could be present at this moment. After all, someone had to come to highlight his excellence.
He glanced around, his expression a mixture of worry and confusion.
Old Master Wen noticed his abnormality and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Shangyu?"
Ye Shangyu hesitated to speak, glanced at Old Man Wen, lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mr. Wen showed even more concern. "Just tell me what you want. I can help you with any questions you have."
Ye Shangyu hesitated and asked, "Is Hangxing back today? I remember he arrived at the old house earlier than me this afternoon in a driver's car. Why didn't I see him?"
"He just went out for something." Old Master Wen said indifferently, then suddenly paused, "Are you saying you saw him get in the car this afternoon? You weren't with him?"
Ye Shangyu smiled bitterly, "Yes, maybe Hangxing had something urgent to do today. When I left the school gate, the driver had already left."
Old Master Wen was extremely angry. Wen Hangxing was so bold now that he even dared to pretend to obey but actually disobeyed.
He turned to the butler and shouted, "Send someone to call Wen Hangxing to the main hall."
The housekeeper responded with a yes on his face, but in fact he sighed deeply in his heart: I'm afraid the old house will be in unrest again today.
Lin Yitang, who was drinking tea and eating cakes at the side, picked up the teacup without changing his expression and carefully looked at the expression of the guest opposite him, but happened to meet Ye Shangyu's gaze.
Ye Shangyu apologized to her and explained, "I'm really sorry, Aunt Lin. Hangxing has always treated me... and made you laugh. Please don't mind."
Lin Yitang was amazed and felt that kids nowadays were really extraordinary. They were more cunning than sieves and could hide a trap in every word they said. What seemed ordinary was actually full of traps and one could be led into them if one was not careful.
Lin Yitang smiled faintly and said, "It's okay."
Wen Hangxing came in from the door with his hands in his pockets, glanced lazily at Ye Shangyu and Old Man Wen, and his cold brows warmed up a little when he saw Lin Yitong beside him.
He walked straight to Lin Yitang and sat down, then looked up at the remaining two people and said impatiently, "Just tell me what you want to say."
Old Master Wen was annoyed by his lazy face and said in a cold tone, "You didn't even come to entertain the guests when they came to your house. Besides, didn't I ask you to bring Shang Yu back? How could you leave him alone at the school gate!"
Wen Hangxing touched a piece of cake placed on Lin Yitang's right hand side and threw it into his mouth under Lin Yitang's murderous gaze. "Isn't he here? Besides, he's not treated like a guest. I think he's almost being treated like the host."
Ye Shangyu lowered his head in embarrassment and explained anxiously, "Hangxing, you misunderstood. Grandpa Wen treats me very well and I am very grateful, but you have always been the young master of the Wen family, and no one can replace this status."
Wen Hangxing crossed his legs and gave him a playful look. "You think so, huh? I hope you can be consistent in your words and deeds, and not say one thing and do another."
Ye Shangyu clenched his fists and whispered, "How could that be? I naturally know what kind of person I am."
Wen Hangxing looked at the sullen-faced Old Man Wen and shrugged, saying, "See, he himself thinks so. There's no need for me, the young master of the Wen family, to ride in the same car with someone of low status."
Mr. Wen said sternly, "How capable do you think you are? Apologize to Shangyu!"
Wen Hangxing stopped laughing and calmly refused, "Don't say anything. I won't apologize to him."
Mr. Wen was so angry that his beard was shaking. "Are you really going to be so stubborn?"
Wen Hangxing twitched his lips sarcastically. "Aren't you the stubborn one? I've made it clear countless times that I don't want to see him, yet you still send him home. Isn't that just asking for ridicule?"
Old Master Wen looked at him disappointedly. "Do you know what Shang Yu sacrificed for you? You never once apologized to him. Where are the etiquette and moral integrity I taught you?"
Wen Hangxing also said coldly at this moment: "I reiterate for the last time that I am not wrong."
Old Master Wen said "OK" three times in a row, and as he was about to explode, the housekeeper was anxious and frightened.
Lin Yitang suddenly changed the subject, "Okay, Hanchuan will be home soon, and it's time for dinner, so let's go to the dining hall and wait for him."
She looked at Mr. Wen, who had his eyes closed, and asked as if seeking his opinion, "Dad?"
Old Master Wen nodded imperceptibly.
Wen Hangxing followed behind Lin Yitong and did not leave as usual. Instead, he followed him towards the dining hall.
As the group walked towards the dining hall, the butler secretly gave Lin Yitang a thumbs up, and the worries that had accumulated in his heart were finally relieved. Thanks to the madam, otherwise no one would be able to eat dinner tonight.
Lin Yitang: “…”
Is it that exaggerated?
The butler nodded decisively: Of course, there is no water in it.
With Lin Yitong occasionally leading the conversation, the atmosphere was no longer as solemn and terrifying as before.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred. Some people are happy about it while others are worried.
Ye Shangyu should be considered the only one who is dissatisfied with this.
The malice in his heart was about to flow out, and the valve called reason seemed to be unable to stop anything. His heart was full of hatred, not only towards Wen Hangxing, but also towards Lin Yitong.
He thought that he had underestimated Mrs. Wen after all. After all, a woman who could marry into the Wen family was not as useless as the outside world rumored.
If such a person could be used for one's own purposes, it would become much easier to bring down Wen Hangxing.
Thinking of this, Ye Shangyu looked at Lin Yitong with even more passion, causing Lin Yitong to get goose bumps.
She looked in Ye Shangyu's direction as if she had noticed something, only to see Ye Shangyu's eyebrows move, and then he picked up the tea in his hand and saluted her from a distance.
A strange feeling flashed through Lin Yitang's mind, as if something was not right. This feeling was later confirmed.
In the following time, Lin Yitong clearly felt Ye Shangyu's enthusiasm for him. This enthusiasm was a bit excessive, and it went beyond the respect and admiration of the younger generation for the elders.
The main manifestation is that Ye Shangyu always talks to him from time to time, asking some trivial questions that are irrelevant but can be extended.
Lin Yitang slowly realized that this child was trying to please her.
Not only her, but Wen Hangxing who was sitting next to her also noticed Ye Shangyu's unusual attitude very vigilantly. His eyes were extremely cold and he looked at Ye Shangyu as if warning him not to do any more shameful tricks.
Ye Shangyu did not dodge and gave Wen Hangxing a gentle smile.
