Wen Xin didn’t like the overly sweet taste of milk candy; she only enjoyed the chocolates that Mu Chengxu bought for her. As for milk candy, she really wasn’t very familiar with it.
“This is it!” Ling Xu’er was somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t this milk candy the one she bought for Tan Xingyue?
Wen Xin took the milk candy handed to her by Ling Xu’er, placed it on the table, and took a photo to send to Mu Chengxu. Soon, Chengxu replied to her message.
“Isn’t this the milk candy that Liang Luoyu bought for Tan Xingyue? He wanted to send you some, but I told him you don’t like it, so he decided to buy chocolates for you. Did you also receive the milk candy?”
“No, it’s because Xingyue and Xu’er came to the capital. They asked me where to buy milk candy. Can you tell Liang Luoyu to send some to Xu’er next time he sends them? Xu’er likes them.’
“Alright, we’ll be back in three days!”
“Yeah, I’ll wait for you to come home.”
Wen Xin returned the milk candy to Ling Xu’er and gently pinched her cheek with her fingertips, smiling indulgently, “Are you still used to sleeping in my bed?”
“Yeah, very used to it. I’ve packed all your things in the suitcase for you, sis.”
“Good girl.” Wen Xin smiled softly at Ling Xu’er’s affection, “Liang Luoyu bought the milk candy. I’ve already asked Mu Chengxu to let him know to send you some next time.”
“Thank you, sis!” Ling Xu’er felt that Wen Xin’s affection for her was no less than that for Tan Xingyue, and her smile was particularly sweet.
After chatting and finishing lunch in a lively atmosphere, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. After asking about their plans for the rest of the day, Wen Xin arranged a hotel for them to stay in, allowing them to play here for the day before returning to Ice City.
As the group walked out of the private room at Tianxiang Pavilion, they coincidentally bumped into another group of people coming out of the opposite room. Wen Xin glanced at the person at the front, and he also happened to be looking straight at her.
Wen Xin hesitated for about thirty seconds, then with a cold expression, she nodded slightly at Wei Yi and spoke with a hint of humility in her tone, “Grandfather.’
Upon hearing Wen Xin take the initiative to greet him, Wei Yi’s face lit up with a bright smile. He introduced Wen Xin’s identity to his old friends behind him.
One of them glanced at Wen Xin and disdainfully remarked, “So she’s your grandson’s girlfriend. She sounds so affectionate when she speaks to you. I thought she was your youngest daughter’s child!”
As the words fell, Wei Yi’s expression suddenly darkened, and everyone knew that his youngest daughter was a taboo topic for him. Yet this person still brought it up without any tact.
Seeing Wei Yi’s unpleasant expression, everyone around tactfully fell silent, not daring to say anything more behind Wei Yi’s back.
Zhao Yuyao, standing behind Wen Xin, cast a cold glance at the people around her and finally fixed her gaze on the person who had just mentioned his mother.
He took a step forward, stood calmly in front of Wei Yi, and spoke in a cold tone, “What’s the matter? I’m the child of your youngest daughter. Do you have any business with me?”
Zhao Yuyao’s sudden remark surprised the classmates from Class 20; they thought Zhao Yuyao was going to speak up for Wen Xin. Just as they were about to remind him that this was the capital and it was better not to cause trouble, they didn’t expect him to speak up for his mother instead.
Wei Yi heard Zhao Yuyao’s words, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhao Yuyao with some disbelief as if he wanted to ask what Zhao Yuyao meant.
But considering the people behind him who were watching the commotion, Wei Yi pretended to be calm and looked at Zhao Yuyao, speaking in a quiet tone, “When did you come to the capital? You’re already in the capital, and you didn’t even bother to call me?”
Zhao Yuyao turned his head to look at Wei Yi, politely addressing, then calmly answered Wei Yi’s question.
“I arrived a little after eleven in the morning. I came with my classmates. We were treated to lunch by my sister-in-law, and we’re planning to stroll around.
If there’s nothing urgent, Grandfather, we’ll be leaving now.”
Zhao Yuyao respectfully addressed Wei Yi, glanced at his classmates behind him, lifted his chin, gesturing for them to follow, and then took the lead in leaving Tianxiang Pavilion.
The students from Class 20 realized that the atmosphere wasn’t right and remained silent, following behind Zhao Yuyao as they left.
Wen Xin stood still without moving, her dark eyes faintly glancing at the meddlesome person, then she turned to Wei Yi, “Grandfather, I’ll take my classmates for a stroll. We’ll leave now.”
“Okay, take care on the way…”
Wen Xin nodded lightly, expressionless, and left Tianxiang Pavilion.
After Wen Xin and her group left, the elderly people behind Wei Yi also bid farewell to him and left Tianxiang Pavilion.
Sitting in the car, Wen Xi looked at the group of people waiting for a car on the opposite side of the road. Among them, Zhao Yuyao stood out as the most outstanding besides Wen Huai. This young man resembled her daughter so much that her heart skipped a beat when he addressed him as Grandfather.
“Investigate whether that boy is related to Wei Mantong. If he is, find out when he has the time to bring him to the Wei family. His parents might be irresponsible, but he seems responsible. I like this kid.”
“Yes, I’ll take care of it.
The butler immediately responded. He knew that Wei Yi had always been concerned about Wei Mantong, but Wei Mantong’s stubborn personality made it so that she hadn’t returned to Beijing since leaving.
In the evening, after dinner, Wen Xin escorted Tan Xingyue back to the hotel. She decided to stay overnight with Tan Xingyue in the hotel.
Outside the hotel, Wen Xin asked Tan Xingyue to go up first while she waited in the lobby for Zhao Yuyao. She had some things she wanted to discuss with him.
When Zhao Yuyao got out of the car, his mood wasn’t particularly good. He had spent the whole afternoon thinking about Wei Yi’s affairs, unsure if what he did in the afternoon was right or wrong.
When Zhao Yuyao saw Wen Xin in the lobby, he was somewhat surprised. After saying a word to his classmates, he walked to her.
” Little Grandaunt, you’re still here?”
“I was waiting for you. You seemed distracted today; what happened?” Wen Xin lazily sat on the sofa. After a whole day of strolling around, she was a bit tired.
“I just felt like I might have done something wrong this afternoon. I shouldn’t have spoken up, but when I heard someone deliberately mentioning my mother and mocking you, I couldn’t help but get angry. I couldn’t control myself for a moment.”
Zhao Yuyao scratched his head awkwardly as he finished speaking. He felt that he shouldn’t have spoken out, which might bring trouble to his mother after all. He wasn’t fully aware of what happened in the past.
“In fact, you did nothing wrong. Aunty will return to Beijing sooner or later.
You took the initiative to speak, giving Grandfather face. You did well..”
