"Oh! This! I also know about this."
Just now, she didn't know how to answer Shen Jingxiu's question, but now she had a way out, so Wen Yan quickly nodded and continued speaking.
"I actually discussed this problem with mom before, including Second Brother and Fourth Brother. But as you know, they are both stubborn and hot-tempered. It seems difficult for them to take the initiative to improve their relationship.
"But I also think that this kind of thing can't be rushed. After all, the estrangement has existed for so many years, and it is indeed difficult without a suitable opportunity. Moreover, everyone has their own personality and temper, so it's hard to find a balance.
"In other words, it's not simple, not as easy as imagined."
"...Well, you're right." Successfully shifting the topic, no matter what Wen Yan said, Shen Jingxiu nodded, even if she was talking nonsense.
Actually, Wen Yan herself knew that she was talking nonsense, but she had no choice.
Having a discussion about family trivial matters with Shen Jingxiu felt strange!
Shen Jingxiu also felt Wen Yan's embarrassment.
He knew that his dull personality and cold aura seemed incompatible with casual conversations.
He also didn't want to make things difficult for Wen Yan, so he glanced at her and said, "Are you tired? Take a nap, I'll wake you up later."
Wen Yan felt relieved in her heart. Even if she wasn't tired, she had to pretend to be tired because this conversation was going nowhere.
She had been talking about Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan the whole time, and it was embarrassing to bring up the broken relationship between Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe.
After all, one of the parties involved was sitting right beside her.
But... Wen Yan's thoughts took a turn.
‘Big Brother suddenly asked me to rest. He should have noticed my embarrassment and nonsense. Actually, he was quite thoughtful. Thumbs up for Big Brother!’
Thinking like this in her heart, Wen Yan couldn't help but smile at Shen Jingxiu.
"Then big brother, please drive. I'll take a short nap."
Maybe the temperature inside the car was adjusted too comfortably by Shen Jingxiu, because after a while, Wen Yan really fell asleep.
When the car returned to the Shen family's house, Shen Jingxiu woke Wen Yan up.
However, instead of entering the villa together with Wen Yan, Shen Jingxiu stayed in the car and made a phone call.
Telling Qiao Kexin to leave A City was not just empty words. He would also arrange for someone to keep an eye on her.
If she didn't leave, he would intervene.
-
Qiao Kexin knew that Shen Jingxiu was not someone to be trifled with, because the next day she received a call from an unknown number.
The other person asked her if she needed to buy ticket services. It sounded nice, but Qiao Kexin knew very well that it was Shen Jingxiu monitoring and pressuring her.
In fact, she was already preparing to run away, just not as quickly.
She had already obtained the password for the safe in her mother's room and was waiting to open it quietly before leaving.
But Shen Jingxiu was urging her, so she had to speed up her actions.
Qiao Kexin quickly contacted Min Xiaxia. The two strangers with sinister intentions huddled together and came up with a malicious plan.
-
That day, Wen Yan was negotiating the purchase of a car.
She planned to sell her Ferrari.
One reason was that she was not used to driving it and wanted to switch to a more comfortable ordinary car. The second reason was that she thought she should repay the 10 million she borrowed from Shen Jingchuan earlier.
Although Shen Jingchuan said she didn't need to repay it, and although she couldn't gather that much money at once, she could pay in installments.
He hadn't been home for several days, claiming to be seeking investments everywhere.
Seeing how stressed he was, Wen Yan felt that she should repay some.
When she was discussing with the agent, she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
After answering, the person immediately introduced themselves.
They said they were a producer from a certain company, currently preparing an IP, and wanted to invite Wen Yan to join and scheduled a meeting to discuss in detail.
Since Wen Yan currently didn't have a manager, she handled her own work.
Therefore, receiving calls from producers or directors was not unusual for her.
However, she still remained cautious. Although she hadn't encountered similar scams before, she had heard of cases where people posed as talent scouts or directors to deceive others.
So she didn't immediately respond to the person, but instead hung up and searched online.
The search results showed that the company and IP project mentioned by the person did indeed exist.
She even talked to Shen Jinghe about it. Coincidentally, Shen Jinghan also knew about this producer and his IP project, and suggested Wen Yan to give it a try.
Since Shen Jinghan has expressed approval for this project, Wen Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.
She proactively contacted the producer again and agreed on a time and place to meet.
Since it was in the evening, Wen Yan still had plenty of free time.
First, she sold the Ferrari and then transferred five million to Shen Jingchuan as soon as she received the money.
When Shen Jingchuan received the five million, he felt a mix of emotions.
Because he had just been rejected by someone, and the way they spoke was not pleasant, which made him feel like a beggar, begging for someone's charity.
But at this moment, Wen Yan gave him five million.
This little girl didn't even say a word after sending the money.
After thinking about it, Shen Jingchuan decisively got up and left the meeting room, then dialed Wen Yan's phone number.
The call was quickly connected, and Shen Jingchuan chuckled.
"You're really generous, five million at once, what do you mean?"
Wen Yan's cheerful voice came from the phone.
"Guess."
"I can't guess." Shen Jingchuan joked, then said, "Do you look down on me? I told you that you didn't need to repay it, but you transferred the money without even saying hello. Don't I have any face?"
Wen Yan interrupted him with a snort, "Can you eat face? Besides, if I had informed you in advance, you definitely wouldn't accept it."
"That's true! You should have saved it for your own studio. It's silly of you to give me the money. My club is different from your studio. This five million is not even enough to fill a gap in my teeth."
"A fly is still meat, if you can receive five million every day, why worry about not being able to build a club? Well, let me tell you this, I won this money from the lottery, so you don't have to pity me, okay?"
"I don't believe you, is winning the lottery so easy?"
"It's not easy, but someone will win, right? Since someone will definitely win, why can't that person be me? Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I have a dinner party later and I need to touch up my makeup. Goodbye."
The call ended quickly.
Shen Jingchuan's manager found him in a secure channel.
"What should we do now, should we leave?"
"No, we came all this way, I want to give it another try."
"You can't be serious, the sun rose from the west today, right? You looked very angry just now, and now you want to go back and endure that humiliation? That's not your style."
"Can style be eaten as food? If you want money from someone else's pocket, so what if you have to listen to some harsh words."
Even that little pauper Wen Yan took out five million from her savings to support him. How can he not put in effort?
