"Hello, I'm Wen Shao, Wen Wan's older brother. It's nice to meet you."
Upon seeing Wen Shao, Chen Luo couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
This future brother-in-law, the eldest son of the Wen family, appears at first glance to be a refined gentleman, gentle and elegant.
It is indeed easy for ordinary people to feel good about it and identify with it. In Chen Luo's mind, a comment couldn't help but come to mind.
He was handsome and dignified; one look at him and you would think he was the ruler.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before alarm bells went off in Chen Luo's mind.
Admittedly, if such a person is considered as a friend or relative, such words and actions would be perfectly acceptable.
However, from the current perspective, the struggle for the throne between Wen Wan and Wen Shao has been brought to the forefront, and the two can be described as a desperate fight to the death.
Despite the tense relationship, Wen Shao still greeted them with such an attitude, which shows that he is extremely shrewd and perhaps even harbors some murderous intent behind this simple welcome.
"Hello, brother, I am Chen Luo."
He stepped forward, gently shook Wen Shao's hand, and gave a brief greeting, without saying another word.
The best way to deal with someone who is extremely cunning and harbors malice towards you is to keep your distance and not give them any opportunity to take advantage of you.
Seeing Chen Luo's indifferent reaction, Wen Shao merely glanced at him before extending his hand to welcome the two inside.
"Come on, Sixth Sister, Chen Luo, Father is not here right now. He ordered me to take you to Grandpa's courtyard first."
Chen Luo and Wen Wan entered the old house under Wen Xiu's guidance.
As soon as the two entered the old house, the staff and some of the relatives all looked at the only stranger, Chen Luo.
This Wen family mansion is not a place that ordinary people can enter and exit at will. Even members of other members of the ten major families must report their presence before entering.
Today, this young man actually entered accompanied by the eldest son, Wen Shao, and the sixth daughter, Wen Wan. Just who is this person? How could two of the most outstanding members of the Wen family personally welcome him into the old mansion?
Meeting such a gaze, Chen Luo felt somewhat uncomfortable and was about to say something to Wen Wan.
At this moment, Wen Wan took Chen Luo's hand and they intertwined their fingers.
A sweet smile appeared on Wen Wan's face. She glanced at everyone and slowly spoke.
"This is Chen Luo, my gentle boyfriend and future husband."
Everyone present was stunned when Wen Wan so openly announced her boyfriend.
However, most of the people present were shrewd and no one wanted to offend Wen Wan, so they all greeted Chen Luo warmly.
"Hello Mr. Chen, welcome Mr. Chen."
Despite this greeting, most people were still inwardly shocked.
To everyone's surprise, the sixth young lady of the Wen family actually has a boyfriend.
In all the years they've been in the Wen family, the other young masters and ladies have had one boyfriend after another, but this sixth young lady has never dated any men or been engaged since she was a child.
Some busybodies are even discussing whether Wen Wan is a lesbian, a naturally barren woman, or simply that no man can catch her eye.
I never expected that she would bring a boyfriend home during the Chinese New Year.
Even in ordinary families, if a daughter brings her boyfriend home during the Lunar New Year, it means that their relationship has reached the point of discussing marriage.
So, this Mr. Chen Luo will be the Wen family's son-in-law in the future.
I don't know who this person is, but to win the heart of the Sixth Miss, he must be an extraordinary person. I should try to befriend him more in the future.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Luo walked through the garden in the front yard and all the way to a moon gate in the inner hall.
"Alright, I'll take you this far."
"Grandpa's courtyard is just ahead. You can go in by yourselves."
Wen Shao smiled and pointed ahead. Chen Luo paused for a moment before speaking.
"Aren't you coming in with me, brother?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of jealousy flashed in Wen Shao's eyes. Although it was only fleeting, Chen Luo caught it.
"We are generally not allowed to go in without Grandpa's permission and summons."
"Alright, I have something to do, so I won't keep you company any longer. Goodbye."
Wen Shao said goodbye in a calm tone, then turned and left.
The moment he turned around, his smiling face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with jealousy.
Chen Luo's question, "Aren't we going in together?" had deeply stung him.
Although Wen Qingyang is Wen Shao's grandfather and Wen Shao is the eldest grandson, he can only enter this courtyard no more than twice a year.
Actually, this is quite normal in many established families. The old master of the family doesn't care about worldly affairs and rarely interacts with the younger generation, which is considered to be the norm.
However, in the Wen family, Wen Qingyang was very cold to almost all the younger generation, but he was exceptionally fond of Wen Wan.
Wen Shao was very puzzled and tried to find the reason, but he never found the answer.
He watched as Wen Qingyang personally taught Wen Wan various skills and character traits, providing her with all sorts of conveniences and guidance, allowing her to grow little by little.
Faced with such assistance, Wen Shao had no way to disrupt or stop it.
Although Wen Qingyang is supposed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, everyone knows that he still holds the ultimate decision-making power in the Wen family.
Once he speaks, even if Wen Shao becomes the head of the family, no one can go against his decision.
Few people can match the connections and resources this old man possesses, as well as his prestige in the country.
Even the bigwigs in the central government treat Wen Qingyang with great respect. In addition, Wen Qingyang once served in the central government and has countless protégés and former subordinates. The resources he can mobilize are also extremely terrifying.
This jealousy burned in Wen Shao's heart for years, and he could never get rid of it.
Today, the old man actually wanted to meet Wen Wan's boyfriend, Chen Luo, which made Wen Shao's sense of crisis grow wildly in his heart like weeds.
I took out my phone and pressed the call button.
"Tang Xiwei, let's make our move soon and give them a turbulent New Year!"
...
Wen Wan and Chen Luo walked hand in hand through the moon gate and slowly arrived at the gate of an elegant courtyard.
"Baby, my grandpa is very good to me. He's the only elder in the Wen family who is truly good to me. Don't treat him like you would my father when you see him, okay?"
"I understand, I understand. The old man is a hero, and I will naturally respect him greatly."
As the two talked, they pushed open the gate to the courtyard.
Before they could even step inside, they heard a loud shout.
"Hey! You little brat! Get your paws off my granddaughter!"
Chen Luo turned around and saw an elderly man in a Tang suit with white hair and beard, and a burly build, rushing towards him with great speed, holding a large knife.
"Huh! What's going on?"
