Seeing that Fu Zhiqing was so interested in their whereabouts abroad, Wen Huaiyan's face darkened: "I don't think I need to report everything to you, do I?"
Seeing the warning in his eyes, Fu Zhiqing was extremely embarrassed: "Then...of course."
But in the blink of an eye, she smiled and probed again, "I just saw that you brought a boy back, so I was a little curious about your experiences in H country and asked a question without thinking. Please don't mind."
Wen Huaiyan didn't suspect anything, and simply waved his hand casually, saying, "That child is our benefactor."
After all, he had saved Li Ruo several times, and he was a very important person to them.
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhiqing felt inexplicably nervous and subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes.
A benefactor...
Could it be that what she did has really been exposed?
Soon the two returned to the Wen family home, but as soon as they entered, Old Master Wen began to berate Wen Huaiyan, saying, "You finally decided to come back. If I hadn't urged you repeatedly, I think you would have stayed in H country to live."
He seemed to be simmering with rage, glaring at Wen Huaiyan as if he wanted to devour him whole: "You said you didn't even manage to finalize the cooperation, and you didn't do a good job with the business. What are you doing staying over there instead of coming back? Do you really think you're so great just because you have that little bit of power in your hands? Let me tell you, without me, you're nothing at all!"
As the old man spoke, he grew increasingly agitated, and in his emotional state, he couldn't stop coughing.
Seeing this, Fu Zhiqing quickly and considerately stepped forward to support him and patted his back: "Grandpa Wen, are you alright?"
Seeing how sensible she was, Grandpa Wen nodded with relief: "Grandpa is alright."
But his anger hadn't subsided, and the next second he pointed at Wen Huaiyan and continued to yell, "I'm talking to you, did you hear me? You're increasingly disregarding me. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do!"
However, no matter what he said, Wen Huaiyan just stood there without reacting.
This action further provoked Old Master Wen: "You unfilial son, I'll teach you a lesson!"
As he spoke, he raised his cane and swung it at Wen Huaiyan.
"grandfather!"
Seeing this, Fu Zhiqing was startled and quickly stopped him, advising, "Grandpa, you've misunderstood Huaiyan. Think about it, he's always been measured in his actions and meticulous in his thinking. There must be a reason why he's unwilling to return to the country easily. It's not that he deliberately abandoned the Wen family and stayed abroad. Look, he couldn't wait to come back with me to discuss cooperation as soon as he got off the plane. It's clear that he still values the Wen family and you."
Hearing this, Old Master Wen felt there was some truth to it, and he felt a little better.
However, he was still a little angry and couldn't help but mutter, "Even if he had his own ideas, couldn't he have told me first? He dared to contradict me in front of so many people. I'm not young anymore. What about my prestige? It's outrageous!"
Thinking of the scene that day, Old Master Wen couldn't help but stomp his foot angrily.
Hearing the softening in his tone, Wen Zhi hurriedly stepped forward: "Grandpa, calm down. You know my brother. That's just his personality and temper. He was being immature that day, but we're still family. It's not worth getting so angry over such a small matter. If you keep arguing and make a big fuss, people will laugh at you."
As she spoke, she shook Grandpa Wen's arm and said coquettishly, "In my heart, my grandpa has always been very kind, capable and shrewd. He would never get angry over such trivial matters, right, Grandpa?"
After Wen Zhi's outburst, Old Master Wen really couldn't do anything about it. He shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "You, you really have a silver tongue."
Even though he knew Wen Zhi was just trying to coax him, Old Master Wen's mood improved considerably.
Seeing that the old man had finally relented, Fu Zhiqing pressed her advantage: "Grandpa, look, Huaiyan just got back and hasn't even sat down for a drink of water yet, how about..."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wen glanced at Wen Huaiyan, then at Fu Zhiqing and Wen Zhi, sighed silently, and said in a low voice, "It's alright, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
With that, he turned and walked towards the dining table.
Seeing that he didn't want to pursue the matter any longer, Wen Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at Wen Huaiyan: "Brother, Grandpa isn't angry anymore, hurry up and catch up."
As she spoke, she frantically made eye contact.
Seeing her hint, Wen Huaiyan, unusually, didn't speak. Instead, he took a long stride and followed behind Old Master Wen.
At this moment, all the dishes on the table have been served.
As soon as she sat down, Wen Zhi spoke first: "Grandpa, look how good Zhiqing is to my brother. Not only did she pick him up as soon as she got off the plane, but she also defended him in every way when they came back. I think she and my brother are a perfect match."
Before bringing Wen Huaiyan back, she had already discussed it with Fu Zhiqing. This time, they had to settle things between the two of them no matter what.
As it happened, Old Master Wen also had this plan. Now that someone brought it up, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Huaiyan, Zhiqing, have you discussed it and decided when to get married?"
