After the group had completely disappea tin

turned around and reminded the pople behind

her, "This is such an interesting share, ldont mind

if you share it with your triends"

After speaking, Wen Yan left the Wen amily in the

stunned gaze of everyone,

That afternoon, the photo of Xia Jingjing at the

company's entrance spread throughout the

 internal network of the Wen family, and she suddenly became a hot topic. Everyone had a new

understanding of her.

Wen Yan was sitting in her office enjoying the

latest news when Wen Rushue followed her

assistant into the office with a restrained

expression.

Seeing her little aunt had arrived, Wen Yan

immediately stood up and greeted her with a

smile, "Auntie, why did yOu come at this time?

How about we have dinner together tonight?"

"No need," Wen Rushue held her handbag, looked

around nervously, and said to Wen Yan, "Yan Yan,

Auntie came to see you today for something else."

Wen Yan looked directly into her eyes, and Wen

Rushue avoided her gaze, feeling guilty.

Seeing this, Wen Yan had some guesses.

Wen Yan asked Wen Rushue to sit opposite her

and said with a smile, "Auntie, please sit down

first. What's the matter? You can sit down and

talk."

But her words were less warm towards Wen

Rushue, as if she were treating an ordinarycustomer.

Wen Rushue also felt it, becoming more

restrained and nervously staring at Wen Yan, "Yan

Yan, can you get the photo of Jingjing removed?

It's not good for her."

"Okay." Wen Yan readily ágreed without hesitation.

Seeing her agrée so readily, Wen Ruxue's

expression relaxed a bit, and there was a hint of a

smile on her face.

Wen Yan chuckled self-deprecatingly, then

looked back at Wen Ruxue and resumed her

previous cold and distant demeanor. "Auntie, is

there anything else you need from me?"

"Well..." Wen Ruxue became nervous again.

This timne, Wen Yan didn't speak again. She picked

up her tea cup and elegantly took a sip, patiently

waiting for Wen Ruxue to speak.

Wen Ruxue looked at her niece, who was as noble

and untouchable as a princess, and for a moment,

she found it difficult to speak.

"Yan Yan, I... can you help your cousin again? Youknow it's not easy for her to find a good match,

and they need the house to get married. Can you

give the house back to Qi Wei?"

Sure enough, in Wen Ruxue's heart, her daughter

would always be the best.

Perhaps she had once had a place in Wen Ruxue's

heart, but compared to her own biological

daughter, her weight was insignificant.

Wen Yan lowered her head in silence for a long

time without speaking.

When she was a child, it was Wen RuXue who

played the role of a mother and gave her enough

warmth and care.

Over the years, she had always remembered this

kindness, and when Wen Ruxue showed

favoritism towards Xia Jingjing during the

moment of catching them in bed, she didn't get

angry, only thinking it was a mother's first

reaction. But now...

Wen Yan lowered her head and said in a deep

voice, "Auntie, this house was given to me by the

Qi family. Even ifl don't marry Qi Wei, this house

still belongs to me. Do you understand what I

mean?"

"Yan Yan, Qi's wife is not easy to get along with. If

they don't have a house, how can they get

married? Besides marrying Qi Wei, who else can

Jingjing marry? Are you going to watch your

cOusin grow old alone?" Wen Ruxue asked with

red eyes.

At the words, Wen Yan raised her head and met

Wen Ruxue's accusing gaze. Her beautiful face

was cold and a little frightening.

Even the gentle and kind-hearted Wen Yansnow

felt a bit uneasy, avoiding eye contact and not

daring to look at her.

"Auntie," Wen Yanyou sighed softly, "if Xia Jingjing

had married Qi Wei instead of me, and I was the

third party, would you have helped me or Xia

Jingjing?"

"You're different from Jingjing. You're a

well-educated and sensible child who would

never do such a thing," Wen Rushue hesitated for

a moment before awkwardly replying.

Hearing this, Wen Yan understood her meaning.

No matter who the third party was, Wen Rushue would help Xia Jingjing.

Wen Yan clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips

leaving crescent-shaped marks on her palms, but

the pain kept her rational.

 "l understand what you mean, Auntie. Don't worry, I'll l have my assistant handle the house transfer"

Wen Yan's tone was devoid of warmth, and her

gaze towards Wen Rushue was terrifyingly cold.

The more Wen Yan acted this way, the more guilty

and afraid Wen Rushue became, unable to meet

her eyes.

Wen Rushue stood up in a panic, nodding her

head and saying, "I understand. I'm sorry to

trouble you, Yan Yan. I'll explain everything to

Jingjing."

After speaking, Wen Rushue grabbed her bag and

hurriedly left.

Wen Yan stared coldly at her back, and only

spoke when she reached the door, "Auntie, this is

a company after all. Please don't come to the

company to find me in the future. It's not good for

the company's image if others think I don't

separate business from personal matters."

Wen Rushue froze, and it took her a while to reply

hoarsely with a simple "okay".

She understood that Wen Yan was not only

reminding her, but also implying something.

The relationship between Wen Yan and herself

was probably beyond repair.

After seeing Wen Rushue off, Wen Yan sat in her

boss chair, staring blankly at the door, not coming

back to her senses until her assistant came in.

Seeing her like this, the assistant called out to her

and reminded her, "I've already had the photos on

the intranet deleted, but what about the holes left

by Xia Jingjing?"

"Patch them up. Xia Jingjing is Qi Wei's fiancée, so

of course our company can't bear the loss for her.

Let Qi Wei take responsibility for it," Wen Yan said

with a sly smile.

The assistant silently gave a thumbs up. Only Wen

Yan, the ex-wife who was so considerate of her

ex-husband and his current fiancée, could do

something like this.

In the evening, Wen Yan had just returned to the Wen family's home and hadn't had a chance to

talk to Lu Yanchai yet when a phone call came in

and she went into the study and never came out.

Dinner was still brought up by Lu Yanchai.

Lu Yanchai, who should have been resting at this

time, didn't rush back to his room. Instead, he sat

on the sofa with his eyes closed, lost in thought.

Wen Changguo and his old friend came back from

dinner and saw Lu Yanchai sitting alone in the

living room. Wen Changguo walked over and sat

across from him.

"What's wrong with you, Yanchai? Did Yan Yan

kick you out?" Wen Changguo joked.

"Dad, Yan Yan is busy working upstairs. Should I

prepare a late-night snack for her?" Lu Yanchai

looked up at Wen Changguo with sincerity in his

eyes.

Lu Jiajia had said that she wanted to get along

well with her own spouse and show concern for

each other.

Wen Changguo was moved by Lu Yanchai's words

and wiped away a tear."Yanchai, Yan Yan is so lucky to have a good husband like you. You don't

have to worry about her. She can handle it herself."

After speaking, Wen Changguo waved his hand at

Lu Yanchai, indicating that he should go upstairs

and rest.

His daughter was busy with work, so his

son-in-law needed to rest well. If he got too tired,

where would he find such a good son-in-law

again?

Lu Yanchại looked at the stairs, feeling conflicted.
