"Let me see what kind of man could earn the attention of the Wen family patriarch and the eldest young master."
Bai Shiya sat in her seat, staring intently at the direction of the door.
Today, she wore a pure white dress, light makeup, and tied her long hair into a ponytail, deliberately making herself look younger, like a college student.
I picked up my phone, opened WeChat, and opened Wen Shao's chat window.
[Young Master, I have arrived at the designated location, but the target has not yet reached us.]
[Continue surveillance; make sure to get close enough to the target to obtain accurate intelligence.]
...
The Wen family's old residence in Beijing.
Wen Shao sat in his room, put down his phone, looked out the window, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Why does Father value Chen Luo so much? Even Wen Wan has never received such treatment."
The scene of him having tea and talking with his father some time ago involuntarily floated into Wen Shao's mind, a scene that still bothered him to this day.
It was early morning when Wen Shao came to Wen Tao's courtyard to pay his respects, following family rules.
This is a lesson that every direct descendant of the Wen family must adhere to whenever they are at home, including Wen Wan.
If the family rules are not followed, the consequences will be very serious, which shows how strict Wen Tao is in managing his family.
Early in the morning, Wen Tao was watering the flowers in the courtyard when Wen Shao came up to him and, according to Confucian etiquette, bowed deeply to Wen Tao.
This is the Wen family's etiquette. The Wen family does not perform the rites of greeting and kneeling; they only follow Confucian etiquette.
"Shao'er is here. Come, have a seat."
Wen Tao put down the kettle and sat down at the stone table. Wen Shao picked up the teapot on the table and poured his father a cup of tea.
“Father, you seem to be in a good mood today, getting up so early to tend to these orchids.”
"Haha, yes, I'm in a good mood. Why don't you guess why I'm in such a good mood?"
Wen Shao pondered for a moment, and the only thing that had happened recently was the struggle between Wen Wan and Wen Xiu.
"Is it because of Sixth Sister's gentle nature?"
"Hmm, very close. It's because of the boyfriend she found outside, I think it's Chen, Chen, oh right, Chen Luo."
Upon hearing Chen Luo's name and seeing the smile on his father's face, he felt a chill in his heart, but he maintained his smile.
"Oh, Sixth Sister has actually found a boyfriend. That's quite something. I wonder what's so special about this prospective brother-in-law?"
Wen Tao picked up a cup of tea and took a small sip.
"My prospective son-in-law actually embarrassed me in front of so many people."
"I even asked him to come to my house during the Spring Festival, and he actually agreed. How can he be so bold?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Shao's expression changed slightly.
This prospective brother-in-law is even bolder than Wen Wan, daring to embarrass her father!
It should be noted that even the heads of the ten major families dare not provoke Wen Tao, let alone these juniors.
Even though Wen Shao and Wen Wan were both exceptionally talented, they were as docile as kittens in front of Wen Tao, not daring to show the slightest resistance.
Noticing the strange look in Wen Shao's eyes, Wen Tao smiled and said thoughtfully.
"Shao'er, let me tell you the truth. I know what your future achievements and Wan'er will be like, but I can't see through the future achievements of this son-in-law."
"Wan'er has found a good husband. He should be able to help her in the future and manage her business."
After saying this, Wen Tao got up, humming a little tune, and walked back to his room.
Wen Shao lowered his head, his face extremely pale.
My father never said anything pointless; every word he uttered had a profound meaning.
The statement that "I can't see through Chen Luo's future" is itself a very high compliment.
This made him think more deeply.
It's said that a mother-in-law's eyes grow fonder the more she looks at her son-in-law.
Why does the father-in-law find his son-in-law so agreeable? If he really does find him agreeable, then things could change completely.
A son-in-law is like half a son, and with Wen Wan's current momentum, what if the old man supports their side in the future?
This Chen Luo might become a significant factor in the struggle for the throne, which makes him wary.
This led to his decision to specifically send Bai Shiya to Hangzhou to support Tang Xiwei.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The notification sound from his phone interrupted Wen Shao's thoughts, and he picked up his phone to take a look.
The target has been identified.
[Okay, make sure to get close enough to gather as much information as possible, and let me know immediately after you have it!]
【yes! 】
After replying, Bai Shiya put down her phone and looked towards the door.
Chen Luo walked slowly into the restaurant alone, staring at his phone as he went, seemingly deep in thought.
"He's really young. His appearance is quite good, almost as good as the young master's."
Admittedly, from Bai Shiya's perspective, Chen Luo was wearing a fitted black suit today, which perfectly accentuated his tall and muscular physique, and the trousers showed off the outline of his long legs.
With the hairstyle and light makeup that Wen Wan specially did for Chen Luo today, Chen Luo's whole demeanor was completely refreshed.
Chen Luo sat down by the window, ordered his food, and then continued looking at his phone.
Constantly replying to messages and handling various matters, Chen Luo still had a lot to arrange as the full-scale attack plan was about to begin that afternoon.
I picked up the water bottle next to me, took a sip, and put it on the table. Because I was looking at my phone, the cup was a little too close to the edge of the table.
Bai Shiya saw Chen Luo staring intently at his phone and knew her chance had come.
She slowly got up and walked into Chen Luo's seat, carrying her bag in her left hand and deliberately placing the bag near the edge of the table.
"Da da da!"
Bai Shiya suddenly quickened her pace, and when she reached Chen Luo's table, she suddenly exerted force, and the bag was instantly thrown away.
With a "bang!", the glass on the table was hit by the bag, and the water in the glass splashed all over Chen Luo.
Caught off guard, Chen Luo was splashed with water and could only stand up and shake the water off his clothes.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! I was in such a hurry, I'm really sorry."
Seeing that her first step had succeeded, Bai Shiya stopped and immediately began to apologize, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains off Chen Luo.
Bai Shiya didn't notice that two pairs of eyes were staring at her through the restaurant's glass window.
"Sixth Sister, that's obviously a green tea bitch, and her level must be pretty high. Aren't you worried that Chen Luo will be seduced?"
"Shut up, we're not going in yet!"
Wen Wan's gaze fixed on Bai Shiya, her eyes flashing with astonishing killing intent.
I picked up my phone and dialed a number, my voice so cold.
"Number Three, immediately connect the listening device signal from Chen Luo to my phone and turn the volume up to the maximum."
