On the third day of the Lunar New Year, winter in Beijing was exceptionally cold.
The cold weather couldn't dampen the festive atmosphere of the New Year in Beijing. As night fell, colorful lanterns and long red ribbons were hanging everywhere, and the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks echoed each other.
At the eighth exit of Beijing Capital International Airport, a convoy had been waiting for quite some time.
The leader, with his white hair and beard and an imposing expression, was none other than Zhang Lesheng, Wen Tao's confidant who had mediated the conflict between Wen Wan and Wen Xiu in the southeast. The Wen family generally referred to him as Old Zhang.
After Wen Wan completely swallowed up the Southeast market, he was summoned back to the capital by Wen Tao and no longer exercised his supervisory power.
However, Zhang Lesheng did not expect that shortly after he left, Wen Wan would start a war with the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and on such a large scale.
"Sixth Miss, I really didn't expect to win this battle so beautifully."
After receiving the intelligence, Zhang Lesheng specifically asked Wen Tao whether he needed to go to the southeast to provide some assistance.
It wasn't that he doubted Wen Wan's ability to defeat Yelena, but rather that Yelena was, after all, the undisputed future heir of the Ye family, capable of mobilizing the entire Ye family's strength to fight.
Wen Wan's funds and resources are only a small fraction of the Wen family's, putting her at a clear disadvantage.
At the time, Wen Tao did not say anything, but simply said to let them go.
As a result, Wen Wan herself did not make a move; it was only her boyfriend Chen Luo who fought. In just over two months, he came up with a series of unexpected moves, leaving Yelena powerless to fight back and forcing her to seek peace.
After reviewing a series of reports, even Zhang Lesheng had to admit that heroes emerge from among the young!
It seems that the reason why Miss Six values this young man so much and is so infatuated with him is not just because of his good looks.
"Elder, the Sixth Miss has come out."
One of his men walked up to him and pointed in the direction of the exit.
Zhang Lesheng looked up and saw Wen Wan and Chen Luo helping a middle-aged woman in her forties out. He quickly went to greet them.
"Sixth Miss, the head of the family sent me to pick you up and take you back to the old house. The old master also said that you haven't paid your respects in a long time and asked you to go to his courtyard."
Wen Wan didn't stand on ceremony in response to Zhang Lesheng's enthusiasm, but looked at Ling Huihua, whose face was pale, with a worried expression.
Her health was already extremely weak, and the long journey caused her illness to relapse.
"Mr. Zhang, let's take Chen Luo's mother to Peking Union Medical College Hospital first. Mr. Immortal is already waiting there."
Zhang Lesheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to respond.
If you, Sixth Miss, dare to disobey the head of the family's orders, it's not the first or second time in recent years. But the old master's orders are ones that even the head of the family cannot disobey.
"Sixth Miss, how about I send someone to take this lady to Peking Union Medical College Hospital first? You should come with me to see the old master first."
"Stop talking nonsense and go to the hospital right now. I'll take responsibility for any consequences!"
Wen Wan said in a low voice, and Zhang Lesheng knew there was no way to persuade them anymore. He immediately had someone take them to the hospital first, while Zhang Lesheng took another car back to the old house.
Zhang Lesheng had just gotten into the car when he received a call from the landline at the old house.
Upon seeing that number, even the seasoned old man Zhang Lesheng nearly dropped his phone.
"Hello, this is Zhang Lesheng."
An aged yet steady voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey Zhang, has Liu Yatou arrived yet?"
If anyone else had called him "Little Zhang," Zhang Lesheng would have been furious, but he found it quite pleasant to hear from the old man.
One reason is that the old master Wen Qingyang is almost a hundred years old this year, while he is only in his early sixties, so he is indeed a junior.
Another reason is that he was taught by Wen Qingyang when he was young, so he can be considered his teacher, and that's what he used to call him.
"Well, sir, Miss Liu has gone to the hospital first."
"Hospital? Did this girl get sick as soon as she got back?"
Faced with this question, Zhang Lesheng dared not hide it and could only give the truth.
"No, it's because Miss Liu's boyfriend's mother is sick, so we took her to the hospital as soon as we got off the plane."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"It seems that my grandfather is not as important as my boyfriend's mother."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lesheng couldn't tell whether the tone was angry or a joke.
"Xiao Zhang."
"yes."
"Let Sixth Sister bring her man here so I can see what kind of man could bewitch our Sixth Sister so much that she doesn't even want her grandfather anymore."
After saying that, Wen Qingyang hung up the phone, and Zhang Lesheng put down his phone with trembling hands.
He detected a hint of anger in Wen Qingyang's words, not towards Wen Wan, but towards Chen Luo.
It should be noted that among the entire Wen family, the one who doted on Wen Wan the most was the patriarch, Wen Qingyang.
This kind of grandparental affection sometimes has no reason at all and cannot be explained at all.
In life, we often see that a master will often value one of his apprentices, and an elder will often dote on one of his juniors.
I really can't explain why, but I just find it rare.
Some people call this discipleship-style favoritism.
It was precisely because of Wen Qingyang's doting on his granddaughter, and his subtle and overt guidance and help to Wen Wan, that Wen Wan achieved such remarkable success in just a few years.
However, Wen Wan postponed her visit to pay her respects to her husband because of his mother. Although there was a reason for it, she was still somewhat dissatisfied.
At this moment, in the Wen family's old residence, Wen Qingyang put down the phone and turned to look at Wen Tao, who was sitting to the side drinking tea.
"Boss, you were right. Our sixth daughter has already turned against us."
Wen Tao put down his teacup and gave Wen Qingyang a smug smile.
"Father, am I right? This Chen Luo is really going to kidnap our sixth daughter."
"Hmph! This old man wants to see what this young upstart has up his sleeve."
"They should be back tomorrow, then you'll see them. Okay, I'm off."
Wen Tao stood up, bowed, and took his leave, but was stopped by Wen Qingyang.
"etc."
Wen Tao turned around and looked at Wen Qingyang with a puzzled expression.
"Father, is there anything else?"
"Boss, are you really planning to change the family tradition in this generation?"
"Yes."
"Why? Do you know that this is extremely risky and could easily lead to great disaster? Give me a reason."
"Because I don't want the same thing that happened to the fourth son to happen again in this generation."
After saying this, Wen Tao turned and left, his eyes filled with sadness and determination.
Watching Wen Tao's retreating figure, Wen Qingyang didn't say anything, only sighed.
"Why..."
...
Late at night, at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.
Wen Wan and Chen Luo looked anxiously at Ling Huihua lying on the bed.
"Mr. Immortal, how is he?"
