Wen Yan nodded and entered the office, beginning to look up new information.
She wondered when that project would start.
She needed to prepare herself.
Meanwhile.
In the president's office of Wen Group.
Wen Shihao sat behind his computer, reviewing documents, when his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, a look of surprise crossed his face. Was Mr. Wang from Wang Group calling to settle accounts?
He had also learned about last night's news.
After some thought, Wen Shihao answered, "Mr. Wang."
A middle-aged man's voice carried a hint of sternness, "Mr. Wen, I won't beat around the bush. As long as you can get Wen Yan to save my daughter, the Wang family will never forget you in any future collaborations."
Hearing the generous offer, Wen Shihao smiled and agreed, "Mr. Wang, don't worry, I'll call Wen Yan tonight."
The man nodded, "As soon as possible."
Wen Shihao nodded, "Alright, Mr. Wang, wait for my news."
As soon as he hung up, his phone rang again.
Wen Shihao glanced at it and then said, "Daughter, what's wrong?"
Wen Ya said with a hint of grievance, "Dad, Young Master Ye is the eldest young master of the Leng family. I only found out today. And I saw that Mr. Leng and my sister have a very good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shihao quickly asked, "How did you find out?"
Wen Ya recounted how she invited Wen Yan and coincidentally met Leng Xunze. "Dad, I think my sister might have some other relationship with Mr. Leng."
He pondered, his brow furrowed, "She's so reckless. That's the eldest young master Leng. If he were to lose his temper, the entire Wen family would be implicated."
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Wen Ya said, "Dad, I think we can call Sister Yan back and ask her clearly."
Wen Shihao grunted, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it."
"Mm."
...
As evening approached, Wen Yan finished annotating all the design drafts on her desk, made revisions, and set them aside.
She stretched and was about to get a drink of water when she received a call from Wen Shihao.
Wen Yan's tone was indifferent, "Dad, what's the matter calling me?"
Wen Shihao said with a smile, "Yan Yan, you haven't been home in a long time. Come back tonight."
She was a little confused, "Dad, that's not my home anymore. What am I going back for?"
Wen Shihao felt embarrassed, but for the benefits promised by the Wang family, he shamelessly replied, "Yan Yan, what are you saying? Aren't I your father? And your sister. So come back for dinner tonight."
"Okay, I'll be back tonight." Wen Yan felt her father was acting a bit strange and wanted to see what he was up to.
Wen Shihao smiled broadly when she agreed, "Come back early, I'll have your aunt prepare something."
Wen Yan hummed.
After hanging up, she glanced at the sky outside, stood up, and sent a message to Bai Quan: Quan Quan, is Rong Beifeng with you tonight?
Bai Quan quickly replied: I asked, he's not leaving.
Wen Yan's lips curved: Good, I have to go back to the Wen family tonight, and I don't know when I'll be back!
Bai Quan sounded a bit puzzled: Why are you suddenly going back?
Wen Yan replied helplessly: My dad just called and asked me to go back, so I'm going back to see what's going on.
Bai Quan responded: Probably nothing good.
She hummed: I have to go, I'm leaving.
Wen Yan put down her phone and walked out of the room.
Leaving the company, Wen Yan waited for a car. Some employees who had just finished work enthusiastically greeted her.
She returned their greetings one by one and then took a car to the Wen family.
Returning to the Wen family again, her expression was calm, and her heart was at peace.
She used to feel sad, but now it no longer stirred any waves.
Wen Yan walked into the courtyard and saw that the door to the living room was open. Wen Ya came out from inside and greeted her, "Sister, come inside quickly."
Wen Yan just gave a faint hum. She couldn't understand if Wen Ya wasn't tired of acting this way.
She walked into the living room. Mrs. Wen, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at her, "Yan Yan, sit down quickly."
Saying that, she walked towards the kitchen.
At this moment, Wen Shihao walked out from the study on the side. Seeing her return, he smiled, "Yan Yan, sit down quickly."
Wen Yan hummed, "I'm back. Dad, if you have something to say, you should say it now."
Wen Ya was a little displeased, "Sister, why are you talking to Dad like that!"
Wen Shihao didn't mind, "It's nothing. Don't you sisters argue. Yan Yan, there's no rush. Let's talk while we eat."
Just as Wen Yan was about to refuse, Mrs. Wen came out of the kitchen and looked at Wen Shihao, "You all come and eat first."
Wen Shihao nodded, "Let's go."
The four of them sat on chairs at the dining table.
Wen Shihao looked at Wen Yan and said with a smile, "Yan Yan, eat more."
Wen Yan nodded slightly indifferently, feeling that the food had no taste.
Wen Ya felt uncomfortable seeing the loving gaze Wen Shihao cast upon Wen Yan.
She knew it was fake, yet her heart still felt a pang of blockage.
Mrs. Wen saw that Wen Ya's expression was not right, coughed lightly, and put food on Wen Ya's plate, "Ya Ya, what are you thinking about?"
Wen Ya snapped back to attention, "Mom, I wasn't thinking about anything."
Wen Yan thought it was strange that Wen Ya could eat under these circumstances.
Then, she heard Wen Shihao say, "Yan Yan, I saw what happened with the Wang family last night, but it's best to be forgiving. Can you give your father some face and rescue Wang Yan?"
Wen Yan heard this and looked up at Wen Shihao, "Dad, you mean you want me to bring Wang Yan out."
Wen Shihao nodded and explained, "Yan Yan, you should know that the Wang family has great influence in the capital. If you bring Wang Yan out, the Wang family will owe us a favor, which will also be beneficial to you!"
Mrs. Wen also chimed in at the right time, "Yan Yan, I think your father is right. If you save Wang Yan, the Wang family will surely be grateful. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, don't you think!"
Wen Yan stared at Wen Shihao's hypocritical face and said coldly, "Dad, you want me to release Wang Yan, but have you ever thought about me? If Bai Quan hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be here listening to your nonsense."
"You want me to release her so she can find people to kill me again?"
Wen Shihao's old face flushed with embarrassment, "Yan Yan, there might be a misunderstanding here. The Wang family has already guaranteed me that if you help them, they will no longer be hostile towards you."
Wen Yan sneered, "Dad, in your eyes, I'm not as important as the benefits the Wang family promised."
Saying that, she stood up.
Wen Shihao felt somewhat ashamed and reprimanded loudly, "How can you be so ignorant? Trading your one opportunity for the benefits of the Wang family can elevate our Wen Corporation to a higher level."
"Also, what exactly is your relationship with the eldest young master Leng? Mr. Leng is not someone you can afford to provoke. If you implicate the Wen family..."
Wen Yan heard this and said without looking back, "You are truly a family, always thinking the worst of people."
"Furthermore, I will not save Wang Yan."
