Wen Hangxing told Lin Yitang in detail about the Jiang family's grievances from more than ten years ago. When he talked about these things, his usually cold and arrogant brows were extremely calm, and there was no ripple in his heart.
Lin Yitang found his reaction strange and asked, "Don't you feel angry and sympathetic about this? I feel sad and a little melancholy when I hear this."
Wen Hangxing smiled at this, and the youthfulness on his face seemed to fade away in an instant. A cold and distant haze appeared in his eyes. "It's actually nothing. When you go out to a party one day, you'll find out. In the brightly lit hall, those people in suits and ties who look so relaxed are actually mostly two-faced villains who abandon their wives and children. This happens very often. When facing these dishonest people, wouldn't it be better to cut off their wings step by step and break their wings? Why bother yourself with trouble?"
Lin Yitang listened to his words with surprise in her eyes. The boy in front of her had just been punished for disobeying her, looking sullen and helpless. But now, he displayed a sternness and indifference not often seen in adults, looking like an elite with years of experience in society.
Is this what family education is? Lin Yitang thought absentmindedly, if... if Wen Hangxing really is the character he is showing now, then her previous idea that he would quickly become attached to life was completely wrong.
After Wen Hangxing said these words, he felt that the room became quiet. His eyes met Lin Yitang's stunned gaze at him, and he belatedly felt regret in his heart. He thought he would not scare her.
With a stiff smile on his lips, he explained haltingly: "Actually, I don't think so, it's just that everyone thinks so. It's not..." Wen Hangxing couldn't speak clearly, and at this moment he wanted to slap himself hard in the face.
The bewildered look instantly dispelled the depression rising from him. Lin Yitang's eyes were sore when she saw it. Suddenly, she approached him and gently ruffled his thick hair. "I know, I know what you want to say."
Wen Hangxing stopped moving, and he slowly relaxed, his body no longer as tense as it was at the beginning.
"Sorry." Wen Hangxing's voice sounded a little damp when you listened carefully.
Lin Yitang's eyes were gentle. She felt that Wen Hangxing was like a small mushroom growing in a damp corner. It had small spots on its body and looked scary, but when something bad happened, it would shrink in a corner alone, looking both pitiful and cute.
"Young Master Wen, when did you become so timid? This isn't your style." Lin Yitang deliberately provoked him, "If you encounter something like this in the future, you won't cry in front of others, right? That would be very damaging to your image."
"No." Wen Hangxing quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes, nervous and uneasy, "Only in front of you."
Lin Yitang's hand that was stroking his head suddenly stopped. A clear and soft voice clearly exploded in Wen Hangxing's ears, causing his fluctuating heartbeat, "Okay, if you are unhappy in the future, just tell me. It's okay to cry secretly. I am very moral and will definitely not laugh at you."
Wen Hangxing increased the strength of his hands, almost pinching the fabric to reveal mottled lines. He replied softly with unfathomable attachment and dependence, "Don't regret it, I'm very annoyed."
Lin Yitang then asked, "Do you have a lot of worries?"
"Not many, but sometimes there are always some bloody scenes flashing through my mind, and then I become anxious and uneasy." Wen Hangxing thought for a while and replied seriously.
A bloody scene? Lin Yitang instantly recalled the information the system had given her. She found that it didn't mention this incident, so she secretly took this information to heart.
"Okay, but is it really okay for Xiao Sui to be alone tonight?" Lin Yitang asked, collecting his thoughts.
"Ms. Lin..." Wen Hangxing stared at her with his bright eyes, "You're going a bit too far. We're still talking, and you've already changed the subject to him."
Lin Yitang felt a little guilty when he thought about it, "The main reason is that Jiang Sui is the only one in the Jiang family. I'm worried that he will be outnumbered."
"Hmph, you even use idioms to explain yourself." Wen Hangxing rolled his eyes without caring about his image. He didn't say it to Lin Yitang, but to Jiang Sui, who pretended to be a good student in front of Lin Yitang. "Jiang Sui is so cunning that even those useless people in the Jiang family can't beat him."
Seeing that Lin Yitang was still worried, Wen Hangxing had to explain to her, "Jiang Yishan is a treacherous man. Although he has some ability, he is far from the talent to establish the Jiang Group. The person who truly stands behind the Jiang Group is Jiang Sui's mother, Xue Jiahui. As for that Zhang Wan..."
Wen Hangxing's eyes showed disdain. "She's just a peripheral girl with some tricks up her sleeve. She's not up to par. She took advantage of Aunt Xue's pregnancy and was too tired to do anything."
Lin Yitang felt a headache after listening to Wen Hangxing's words. What is this matter with the wealthy families? "Forget it, I know that you kids have much higher means and mental states than me, so go with you."
Lin Yitang suddenly changed the subject and said in a serious tone, "But you still have to put your own safety first."
Wen Hangxing sensed the worry and concern behind her words, and thought to himself, you are the only one who treats us as children. In families like theirs, they have been teaching the younger generations how to identify, employ, and manage people since they can remember, and they would no longer be tolerant of them just because of their status as children.
Lin Yitang had no idea that Wen Hangxing had once again defined her in his mind as someone who was naive, kind, and pure, and therefore needed to be well protected. Later, when Lin Yitang discovered that she was gradually being cared for by everyone, she was surprised and puzzled.
"Got it." Wen Hangxing replied in a long voice, not forgetting to bargain at the end, his usually cold face now looked obedient. "So can tomorrow's etiquette class be postponed?"
"No, I can't." Lin Yitang spat out the ruthless words, unconcerned with Wen Hangxing's momentary downturn. There was nothing he could do. Even children who did something wrong would be punished accordingly, let alone a sixteen-year-old. Lin Yitang suppressed his inner excitement, trying to watch the fun, and thought to himself, "It's none of my business."
Wen Hangxing: “…” Well, today is also the day when the fake mother-son relationship is broken, hehe!
"You seem to be almost well now. Come downstairs and I'll introduce you to a sister."
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wen Hangxing's mind in an instant, and finally they were summed up in one sentence: "You have a younger sister?!" The information was wrong. Didn't I remember that Ms. Lin was not an only child?
