Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Wen Zeyu Arrives
Xiao Li listened to Qin’s mother’s words and fell silent for a moment...
She understood what Qin’s mother meant.
If a daughter enjoys everything the family provides, she should also take on responsibilities.
Indeed!
Her own thoughts were really skewed.
Who says family responsibilities should only be borne by boys?
What about those families with only daughters?
Like herself...
She was spoiled since childhood, which made her naive enough to be taken advantage of in her previous life, ending up with nothing.
Also, in families where boys inherit, sometimes clueless sisters can ruin everything, like Chen Tingting and her sisters...
Thinking of this, Xiao Li sighed softly, "Mom, I understand now."
Qin’s mother nodded, "It’s good that you understand, but when you go back later, feel free to vent your reluctance...
I’m telling you this much just because I don’t want you to stress yourself out, not for the sake of Tan and his brother.
We’re upset, and it’s only right for them as men to endure some displeasure...
Back then, I also gave old Qin a hard time too.
Whatever you do to trouble those brothers is fine, I’ll always be on your side and won’t say anything."
Upon hearing Qin’s mother’s words, Xiao Li and He Jie both smiled happily, and any remaining discomfort in their hearts vanished.
When Xiao Li took Mianmian back to the courtyard, Qin Xiao hadn’t returned yet. Xiao Li didn’t go looking for him and directly took Mianmian for a nap.
Half asleep, Xiao Li felt someone holding her, realizing it was Qin Xiao who had come back. She didn’t open her eyes and continued to sleep...
After spending a couple of days at the ancestral home, the family returned to the city.
Qin Tan, Qin Xiao, and He Jie all needed to work, which was inconvenient while staying at the ancestral home.
Back in the city, Qin Xiao had to be on duty at the hospital today, so he left early.
Xiao Li was playing with Mianmian at home when a guest arrived.
Someone arrived outside the villa, and the gatekeeper immediately notified inside. Aunt Wu answered the call and came to inform Xiao Li.
"Second Young Madam, there is a guest outside the door, he says his name is Wen Zeyu."
Xiao Li, who was tickling Mianmian with one hand, froze upon hearing the name.
She looked up at Aunt Wu, "Who did you say just now?"
Aunt Wu repeated, "The fifth young master of the second branch of the Wen Family, Wen Zeyu."
Wen Jishan and Wen Jiliang had five sons between them, and Wen Zeyu was the youngest, hence ranked fifth.
Hearing this, Xiao Li fell silent. What was Wen Zeyu doing here at this time?
She knew Wen Zeyu was not here to see Qin Xiao, since though they knew each other, they were not close. If he really wanted to see Qin Xiao, he would have contacted first before visiting.
Perhaps he came for her!
But should she meet him? Should she meet with someone from the Wen Family?
After pondering for a while, Xiao Li finally told Aunt Wu to inform the gatekeeper to let Wen Zeyu in.
Outside, Wen Zeyu was sitting inside the car waiting, but seeing that the gate still wasn’t opening after a while, he got anxious and got out of the car to question the gatekeeper, "Hello, did you pass my message inside?"
Xiao Fang smiled and said, "Young Master Wen, I already called inside, please wait a little longer..."
Just as Xiao Fang finished speaking, the intercom rang, "Hello, Aunt Wu... okay... I’ll open the gate for him now."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Fang quickly said, "Young Master Wen, our Young Madam invites you inside."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zeyu ran back to the car, drove in as soon as the gate opened.
After parking the car, Wen Zeyu got out and entered the villa, where Xiao Li was sitting on the sofa watching Mianmian play with toys.
Seeing Wen Zeyu, Xiao Li invited him to sit, "Please have a seat, Young Master Wen..."
After Wen Zeyu sat across from Xiao Li, she asked Aunt Wu to serve tea, "Aunt Wu, please serve tea to Young Master Wen."
Aunt Wu responded and poured a cup of tea for Wen Zeyu.
Sitting across from Xiao Li, Wen Zeyu felt an intense emotion upon seeing Xiao Li’s face, which resembled his grandmother’s.
The last time, at the Zhen Family, he wanted to take a closer look, but because of the gender difference, he didn’t dare to look too much.
Now that he knew Xiao Li was his aunt’s daughter, his cousin, Wen Zeyu was overjoyed. He could finally take a good look at this face.
Xiao Li felt uncomfortable under Wen Zeyu’s gaze, "Does Young Master Wen often stare at women’s faces like this?"
At her words, Wen Zeyu averted his gaze, "No, don’t misunderstand, it’s just that you resemble my grandmother too much, I can’t help it.
By the way, how is your hand?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li’s eyes dimmed, "It’s fine, thank you for your concern.
Why did Young Master Wen come to my home today?"
At her words, Wen Zeyu remembered his main purpose for coming, "I came to invite you to the Wen Family to meet grandfather."
The Wen Family, after observing for a while, realized that the Qin Family wouldn’t abandon Xiao Li, and now the main branch of the Wen Family had learned of Xiao Li’s existence. They wanted to formally acknowledge her.
Initially, Wen Xiaowen wanted to meet Xiao Li directly, but after learning about the main branch’s tactics against her yesterday, he got so angry that his blood pressure spiked.
He hadn’t gotten out of bed since yesterday and was eager to see Xiao Li.
Helplessly, Wen Jishan and Wen Jiliang, after discussing, could only think of inviting Xiao Li to the Wen Family.
But the person sent to invite her also mattered, and they initially considered letting Wen Jishan’s wife Xu Hanzhi and Wen Jiliang’s wife Zhou Shuyi come. However, neither had spoken to Xiao Li before.
Though Shuyi had attended the wedding with Wen Jiliang, there were too many people, and while offering toasts, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li only drank one toast per table and didn’t talk with everyone.
So, Zhou Shuyi hadn’t spoken to Xiao Li either.
After several considerations, it was finally decided that Wen Zeyu would invite Xiao Li back to the Wen Family.
The reasons for choosing Wen Zeyu were twofold.
First: Wen Zeyu had met Xiao Li and exchanged a few words, though their encounter was awkward.
But at least they had met and spoken.
Second: Wen Zeyu was about the same age as Xiao Li, and young people find it easier to communicate.
Xiao Li was a bit stunned by Wen Zeyu’s words; inviting her to the Wen Family?
Seeing Xiao Li stunned, Wen Zeyu also felt he had been too abrupt.
But being a person who was never good with words since childhood, and now studying archaeology, he spent most of his days following his teacher into tombs or restoring antiquities. Both require concentration and patience, and once absorbed, Wen Zeyu might not say much all day.
With so little interaction with people, he gradually became clueless about communication.
The fact that the Wen Family sent someone like him to invite Xiao Li back shows they truly had no better option. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent Wen Zeyu.
