Speak of the devil and he will appear. When Wen Zeli walked into the dining hall, he saw several people waiting at their seats and stopped in their tracks. Their expressions were all filled with the same indignation.
Seeing him come back, his wife, who was originally chatting, stopped talking abruptly. She lifted her hair a little unnaturally, then greeted him with an awkward smile, "You're back. Why are you here so early today?"
Wen Zeli raised his eyebrows slightly, then sat down beside her. "I will always go home at this time in the future. If it's too early, Secretary Wang might go crazy."
Wen Zeli frowned and thought of the resentful look in his assistant's eyes when he got off work today. He was speechless for a moment.
Lin Yitang expressed her understanding. After all, she was also a social animal before, and she could understand the hard life of having to continue working overtime even though the boss left.
Wen Zeli asked casually, "What were you talking about just now? It seemed like you were having a pretty good time."
Mentioning this, Lin Yitang's expression became strange again. She touched her nose and said vaguely: "Nothing, just some past events."
What past events can he not know but outsiders can?
Wen Zeli's expression was indifferent, but a hint of coldness flashed between his eyebrows. He calmly asked, "Really?"
Lin Yitang had lived with him for so long, so she knew that he was not very happy, but she had no way to explain it. After all, once she explained it clearly, she would be exposed in an instant.
Fortunately, someone came to the rescue at this time.
The kitchen staff brought the food to the table just in time, and Lin Yitang breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Ye Shangyu immediately said that he wanted to go home.
Old Master Wen reluctantly tried to persuade her to stay, "It's so late, why don't you stay at the old house tonight and go to school with Hangxing tomorrow morning."
Wen Hangxing stood nearby, watching them bid farewell with a cold eye, and immediately refused, "I'm clearly refusing. As long as this person stays tonight, I will definitely not ride in the same car with him to school tomorrow morning."
Old Master Wen was humiliated in public and was so angry that he wanted to teach Wen Hangxing a lesson again. Ye Shangyu secretly glanced at Wen Zeli, who was standing aside and couldn't see his expression clearly. He smiled and stopped Old Master Wen's action, "I won't cause trouble for you and Hangxing. It seems that Hangxing hasn't forgiven me yet, so I won't bother him anymore."
Old Master Wen stared at him for a long while, then said slowly, "It's him who has let you down."
Ye Shangyu hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry to Hangxing. If... Never mind. Elder Wen, please take care of yourself. I'm leaving."
Mr. Wen's expression was gentle, "Okay, okay, you can go."
When Ye Shangyu passed by Wen Zeli, he bowed and saluted. When he met his usual cold eyes, his heart trembled.
Over the years, he has been trying to please the people in the Wen family by being more sensible than Wen Hangxing. Even after so many years, Uncle Wen's love for him has become higher and higher, sometimes even surpassing his attitude towards Wen Hangxing, but Uncle Wen's attitude towards him has always been unclear. Every time he looks into his eyes, Ye Shangyu has the illusion that he is being seen through.
It must be an illusion. If he really saw his true face, he would definitely be on guard against him and would not allow himself to suppress and slander Wen Hangxing.
Ye Shangyu secretly comforted himself in his heart and walked past Wen Zeli calmly.
Lin Yitang just came back from a walk with Potato outside, and looked at Ye Shangyu leaving with some confusion, "Aren't you staying here tonight?"
Ye Shangyu's heart moved. Seeing that there was no one around, he felt like testing the waters. "I'd better not bother you today. Besides, Hangxing might not like me very much, so I won't bother him."
Lin Yitang felt that he had misunderstood. She didn't care whether Ye Shangyu stayed or not, but intuitively, this person didn't seem like someone who would not seize the opportunity to stay in the Wen residence to make the old man happy. How could he leave so easily?
Lin Yitang smiled and said, "In that case, please be careful on the road."
Ye Shangyu has been paying attention to Lin Yitong's expression since he finished speaking. Seeing that her expression has not changed and she is still smiling and gentle, he is a little confused about Lin Yitong's thoughts.
But he had to leave at this moment. Ye Shangyu darkened his eyes and left.
Lin Yitang stood there and watched him leave. Potato at his feet was barking and seemed to be about to break free from the reins and bite Ye Shangyu.
Lin Yitang squatted down to comfort it, stroking the fur on its neck and said, "Okay, Potato, stop crying. Let's go home."
As soon as Lin Yitang turned around, she saw Wen Hangxing standing behind her like a demon, without making a sound, which scared Lin Yitang.
She held her forehead and said, "Master Wen, you have to scare me to death before you're satisfied, right?"
Wen Hangxing didn't like her saying such unlucky words, and glanced at her with dissatisfaction, "Can you please have some manners? How can you curse yourself like that?"
Lin Yitang loosened Potato's reins and patted its head gently. "Go, go to him."
Then he replied, "Isn't your behavior quite scary? You sneaked up behind me without saying a word. Anyone would be scared, okay? My reaction is normal."
Wen Hangxing snorted, then asked, "What did that person say to you?"
Lin Yitang was stunned. "Who?"
This action made Wen Hangxing think that she was playing dumb. He frowned and patiently repeated, "What did Ye Shangyu say to you?"
Lin Yitang spoke frankly, "He didn't say anything, he just said that you don't like him very much, so he won't stay here tonight."
Wen Hangxing sneered disdainfully, "After all these years, you're still using these cheap tricks."
Seeing Lin Yitang looking at him curiously, Wen Hangxing warned him with a headache, "Stay away from him. Try not to be alone with him, and don't believe what he says. He's a man who lies nine out of ten times. With your IQ, he might lead you into trouble."
Lin Yitang: "...Why are you making personal attacks for no reason?"
Wen Hangxing reached out and picked up the potato that had been spinning around his feet. As he touched it, he replied, "Ms. Lin, you usually spend all your time trying to trick me. When it comes to other things, you become pathetic."
Lin Yitang was so angry that her teeth itched. She snorted coldly, "I'm warning you, you should be respectful to me. It's ok to imply me, but why do you say it directly to me? Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!"
Wen Hangxing leaned against the waterside pavilion, his eyes narrowed as he stared at her, "Tell me, what can you do to me?"
Lin Yitang's face broke into a happy smile, revealing two funny fangs, and he pointed behind Wen Hangxing, "Here, I'll let this guy take care of you."
Wen Hangxing turned around stiffly and saw Wen Zeli standing upright in the corridor. His face, which could be considered a rogue, instantly turned sad.
He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Ms. Lin, you actually called someone? That's so unfair."
