Hearing Wen Yaohua's words, Wen Yunxu's face suddenly changed.
Wen Yaohua was planning to kick him out of the imperial capital directly.
He couldn't leave. Xiao Yu had been coming home less often recently. She must have been led astray by outsiders again. He had to keep an eye on her. If he left, who would protect her?
Wen Yunxu looked up, his gaze fixed directly on Wen Yaohua. He had just opened his mouth to say, "Dad—"
But he was interrupted by Wen Yaohua's tough attitude.
"Listen to me first."
"You've seen it too. Xiao Yu is very repelled by you now. You know the reason why she has hardly been home these days."
"As long as you're willing to go there, I can act as if what you did to Xiao Yu never happened. The Wen family has never treated you badly over the years. Xiao Yu's condition had already been alleviated. But because of your selfish desires, she suffered a second - time injury. If I hadn't suppressed the matter, do you know how much public opinion the Wen family would have faced?"
Wen Yaohua's tone had always been calm, but based on Wen Yunxu's understanding of him, he knew very well that the calmer Wen Yaohua was, the angrier he actually was.
It was like the calm before a storm.
What followed would only be a more intense storm.
He knew very well that he had no choice.
But given Wen Yuxuan's current state, he simply couldn't leave with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Wen Yunxu looked up at the man in front of him. "Dad, I agree to go to Africa, but not now. Xiao Yu's situation is very tricky now. I have to talk to Ming An about—"
"Bang!"
Before Wen Yunxu could finish his sentence, Wen Yaohua slammed his walking stick on the ground. The air pressure around him instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Idiot!"
He suddenly pointed at Wen Yunxu's nose and shouted.
"Ming An, Ming An. You're still thinking about Ming An now. Haven't you seen that Shen Yu'an deliberately gave you fake medicine?!"
"You've been in the business world for so many years. Why would you still believe in such a semi - finished product? Or did you plan to use drugs to control Xiao Yu long ago?"
Hearing these words, Wen Yunxu's heart tightened suddenly. He immediately explained, "Dad! How could I use drugs to control Xiao Yu? I wish I were the one who was sick. How could I deliberately give her drugs? I believed Shen Yu'an because I knew those drugs were used to treat his younger sister. That's why I dared to give them to Xiao Yu."
When Wen Yunxu said this, his emotions got a bit excited, and his voice also raised a few decibels.
Wen Yaohua looked at Wen Yunxu with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot. "Did you see Shen Yu'an give those drugs to his younger sister with your own eyes?"
As soon as the words were out, Wen Yunxu instantly fell silent.
He really hadn't seen it. Wen Yuxuan's condition had indeed been greatly alleviated because of that drug at first, but later he had indeed gone against his conscience and used drugs to make Wen Yuxuan...
Wen Yunxu lowered his head and didn't say another word.
Wen Yaohua glanced at him and left a sentence, "Pack your things as soon as possible and leave early tomorrow morning."
Then he turned around and walked into the house.
...
...
In the downtown residential area.
"Sir, these are the fruits that were just airlifted from Grindelwald this afternoon. You haven't eaten much all day. Have some fruits."
Tan Si stood beside Shen Yu'an, holding a plate of fresh fruits in his hand. He looked at the man with a worried expression.
Shen Yu'an gave a soft grunt. "Just put them there."
Tan Si knew that the final result of putting them there would be that they would be thrown away. He stood still. After hesitating for a while, he continued, "Sir, why don't you eat them now?"
"It'll only take a few minutes. It won't take much time."
Hearing this, Shen Yu'an put down the tablet in his hand, lifted his eyes and looked at Tan Si. "What's the situation with the Wen family recently?"
Wen Yunxu had been coming to Ming An to look for him every now and then some time ago, but there had been no news in the past few days.
"Back to you, sir. Wen Yaohua recently started a project in Africa. The resources there are scarce. It seems that he's not going there to make money. He should be trying to send Wen Yunxu there."
After hearing this, Shen Yu'an's face changed. That old fox Wen Yaohua was trying to send someone away. If Wen Yunxu left, they could find other ways for Wen Yuxuan. Wen Yaohua would surely strengthen the protection of her. It would probably be impossible to control her with drugs like before.
Fortunately, he had given Wen Yunxu enough drugs before, and Wen Yuxuan had also taken quite a lot...
But Wen Yaohua wouldn't take this loss lying down. He couldn't do anything to Ming An for the time being, but what about Qing Mian...
Thinking of this, Shen Yu'an felt a bit uneasy.
He suddenly thought of something and stared at Tan Si. "What is the second son of the Wen family doing now?"
"Wen Yunzhe?"
"Yeah."
"He's in the army now. If I remember correctly, he's under Mr. Chi's father."
Hearing this, Shen Yu'an's eyes flashed. He instantly thought of something in his mind. The expression on his face softened a lot. He picked up a fruit from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.
After a while, he slowly said again.
"How's Qing Mian recently... Is she okay?"
Shen Yu'an's tone was a bit cautious, with a hint of probing.
Tan Si's face changed. The movement of holding the plate froze. He didn't say a word.
Seeing that Tan Si didn't speak, Shen Yu'an glanced at him and patiently asked again.
"What's Qing Mian been doing recently?"
Tan Si met Shen Yu'an's gaze and then stammered, "It seems that Miss has been getting along well with Mr. Chi recently... Mr. Chi found a coach for her to learn self - defense and also taught her how to use a gun... Today... Mr. Chi seems to have taken Miss to the Chi family's old house to meet the parents..."
While speaking, Tan Si had been carefully staring at Shen Yu'an's expression.
"Got it." Shen Yu'an said softly.
Seeing that there was no major change in his expression, Tan Si finally felt relieved.
It was only a matter of time before Qing Mian went to the Chi family. Even though Shen Yu'an had been prepared for a long time, when this day really came, there was still an uncontrollable ripple in his heart.
Tan Si looked at the dark - decorated room and sighed in his heart. He boldly said, "Sir, if you miss Miss, just give her a call. Maybe she misses you too."
Hearing this, Shen Yu'an's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.
...
...
At the same time, in the Chi family's old house.
Chi Yu parked the car steadily, walked around to the passenger side, opened the car door for Jiang Zhirou, then picked up the things in the back row. He tightly held Jiang Zhirou's hand and looked at her sideways.
"Are you nervous?"
Chi Yu's voice was very soft, as if this could reduce some of Jiang Zhirou's nervousness.
Jiang Zhirou tightened her grip on Chi Yu's hand slightly. She shook her head like a rattle and firmly said, "Not nervous. It's just a meal. There's nothing to be nervous about."
Seeing her pretending to be calm, Chi Yu smiled indulgently and followed her words, "My baby is right. It's just a meal. There's nothing to be nervous about."
Saying that, Chi Yu led her hand and walked into the house.
