As soon as Qin Hualan fell ill, Wen Tingsong immediately found out.
He wasn't surprised. He had asked Wen Li privately if anyone would die, and Wen Li replied that no, at most she would have trouble sleeping.
But a week later, when Qin Hualan held up three golden Taoist statues, Wen Tingsong was still startled by his mother's dark eyes.
"Where's Wen Li?" Qin Hualan's tone wasn't very good, but she didn't show the same disgust as before.
Wen Tingsong raised an eyebrow slightly and called Wen Li, who was doing her homework upstairs, down to the classroom.
Upon seeing Wen Li, Qin Hualan seemed eager to get rid of her, shoving the golden statue into Wen Li's hands in a panic, saying in a flustered tone, "Tell them tonight that I've made the golden statue, and that they shouldn't come looking for me tonight."
Qin Hualan was sick for several days, but even so, the people in the portrait did not stop their revenge.
She was so afraid to sleep these past few days that she couldn't bear it any longer and quickly asked someone to cast a golden statue on these three things, whether they were gods or ghosts.
Fortunately, after defeating the Golden One, those three finally stopped appearing in her dream.
Even so, these past two weeks have still taken a toll on her, leaving her with no time to torment Wen Li.
Now, whenever Qin Hualan sees Wen Li, she is reminded of her own experience and wishes she could leave as soon as possible.
"Wait a minute." Wen Li suddenly called out to Qin Hualan, holding three heavy golden statues in her arms.
Although the golden statue is not large, it is heavy and can be seen to be solid.
Wen Li now looked at Qin Hualan with great affection, revealing two small dimples, and said, "Since you are willing to join my Seeking Dao Sect, then the job of receiving customers will be yours from now on."
Qin Hualan: ? ? ?
When did she ever say she wanted to join that lousy Wenli sect?
Wen Sirou, who had come along, suddenly said, "Xiao Li, Grandma is too old to handle these things."
Wen Li glanced at Qin Hualan. Although she was a bit harsh, she had a long lifespan and could live for at least another twenty years.
Wen Li withdrew her gaze, her smile growing even wider, and stared at Qin Hualan without saying a word.
Qin Hualan felt a chill run down her spine as her mind was filled with images of Wen Li's three ancestral masters.
She was afraid that if she didn't agree to the patriarch's request, he would come looking for her in her dreams again.
It's just entertaining customers, what's so difficult about that?
"Fine!" Qin Hualan gritted her teeth, though she was extremely unwilling.
Wen Li nodded in satisfaction, while Wen Tingsong, standing to the side, almost couldn't help but laugh.
Only Wen Sirou stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief: "Grandma, your health isn't good, and..."
This is absolutely outrageous!
Wen Sirou didn't finish her sentence, but those who understood understood.
What could Qin Hualan say?
Doesn't she know she's just being ridiculous?
But would she dare to refuse?
Qin Hualan was so exhausted that she couldn't say a word, while Wen Sirou could only anxiously watch from the side.
Wen Tingsong carefully observed his adopted daughter, Wen Sirou, and suddenly said, "Sirou, I've completed the procedures for your overseas travel. I've prepared an apartment for you abroad, and I will sponsor your living expenses and tuition fees from now until you graduate from university for one year. You can go abroad next week."
A sudden remark made Wen Sirou abruptly raise her head.
Looking at Wen Tingsong's face, and confirming that he was no longer joking, she trembled all over.
"Dad, I really don't want to go abroad."
If it were before Wen Li returned, she would certainly have been willing to study abroad if the Wen family had offered her the opportunity.
But now that she's left, she'll never have the chance to return to China.
Moreover, what did Wen Tingsong mean by that?
How much is an apartment worth, and they're only planning to cover the most basic tuition and living expenses?
She lived a life of luxury for so many years, and in the end, she ended up like this?
Wen Sirou wanted Qin Hualan to speak up for her, but this time Qin Hualan seemed not to hear her and wouldn't say a word no matter how she tried to signal her.
Her only support has fallen!
Wen Sirou's eyes flashed with malice, like a venomous snake.
Even though Wen Sirou had her eyelashes lowered, Wen Tingsong still saw it clearly.
Wen Tingsong was completely disheartened, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment and sternness: "Going abroad is your best option."
"But I don't want to go abroad!" Wen Sirou suddenly shouted, then broke down and knelt on the ground, pleading, "Dad, did I do something wrong? I don't want anything anymore, please don't send me away, okay?"
After saying that, Wen Sirou kept kowtowing on the floor covered with wool carpet.
The carpet was soft and made no sound.
Wen Li almost couldn't help but laugh when she saw Wen Si kowtowing so enthusiastically.
She felt that Wen Sirou cherished her face so much that she wouldn't have been willing to kowtow to her if there wasn't a carpet.
The reason they're putting on an act now is simply because they don't want to leave.
But now that things have come to this, it's no use even if Wen Sirou kowtows a thousand times.
"Sirou, get up first."
Qin Hualan couldn't bear to see her granddaughter kowtowing like that. She looked at Wen Tingsong and couldn't help but complain, "What grudge do you two have against each other that you have to come to this? You have plenty of money. Can't you afford to raise a child?"
Qin Hualan simply couldn't understand why Wen Tingsong was so resolute.
She blamed everything on Wen Li, believing that Wen Li had been secretly speaking ill of Wen Sirou behind her back.
But now she dared not say a bad word about Wen Li, and could only stare at Wen Li with her frighteningly dark eyes.
They are family, but they are more like enemies.
Wen Li felt Qin Hualan's unfriendly gaze, but her expression remained unchanged.
She and Qin Hualan were only related by blood, not by affection. She had no reason to be sad or upset for an elder who didn't love her.
