The Wen family study.

Behind closed doors, the atmosphere became even more silent.

Wen Rong didn't say anything, and Wen Lian didn't dare to speak without permission. He glanced at Wen Rong from time to time. The latter was sitting behind the desk with a thoughtful look on his face.

This study room, which was originally filled with travel, picture albums, literature or charity books, has changed little by little in recent years.

In the cabinets were the group's financial statements from recent years, and on the desk were various business plans for the head office this quarter. Many contracts had already been signed with "Wen Rong's" name, waiting to be respectfully taken away by the secretary the next day and handed over to subordinates in different departments.

Those literary books were not all cleared out. He even kept a travel notebook on hand. Occasionally, business partners who were invited to the Wen family would come to his study to discuss business. They would always see this book and then sigh, "President Wen has such a refined taste."

Wen Rong would often respond with a frustrated sigh or simply let his smile fade, and then he would explain how much he didn't want to get involved in the company's trivial matters.

After all, his dreams have always been about romance.

"If Ah Can wasn't like this now... I wouldn't have come to meddle in the company's affairs. Now, I can't get enough sleep every day, and all the travel plans I had arranged have gone to waste. I don't know when I will have the time to let go and do what I want freely in the future."

If more guests come, there will be another channel for the word to spread.

Everyone in the business world knows it now - Mr. Wen Rong is a man who only has romance in his heart, but was forced to take over because of his son's downfall. Although he is very reluctant, he has demonstrated extraordinary means in the business world.

He was also loyal in love - even a beautiful lady like the eldest daughter of the Qin family was rejected by him in a stern manner.

Just perfect.

As such, he began to make countless decisions, and faced with countless subordinates who obeyed his orders, he naturally developed an increasingly majestic demeanor.

For example, at this moment, he was sitting silently behind the desk, thinking as if no one was around, tapping the table slowly with a pen in his hand. Wen Lian was waiting without daring to make a sound.

It was not until a long time later that Wen Rong seemed to notice Wen Lian's frightened look.

He laughed and said, "Why are you still sweating? I'm your uncle, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Wen Lian smiled palely: "I'm not afraid, but I don't dare to disturb uncle's thinking. What if it affects your important decision?"

"What important decision is there? It's just the children's marriage..." Wen Rong smiled lightly, but his brows soon frowned again. "But that's right. The contract is very important after all. Although we still have to wait for the analysis from the Ministry of Law, I don't think Qin Jianbai would dare to joke with us."

He pondered and said, "But why does he care so much about Ah Can's marriage? And he even traded such a large amount of money with us - if it weren't for that seal, I wouldn't believe that Nangang has such a good relationship with them now."

Wen Lian thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I heard that Qin Jianbai often went to trouble Ye Kong. He even followed Ye Kong to Hua He before."

Wen Rong was stunned: "You mean, Qin Jianbai likes that Ye Kong?"

There was a flash of disgust and disbelief in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"That shouldn't be the case. I've never heard that Qin Jianbai had a partner like Ye Kong before."

He leaned back in his chair and sighed slightly: "I really don't understand the preferences of you young people. If I wasn't afraid that forcibly opposing it would make Acan's already bad condition worse, I would never agree to his marriage with Ye Kong."

"That's not a good woman."

His deep, aged voice carried a hint of mockery, which was exactly how the upper class treated people they looked down upon—the contemptuous and sarcastic expression would not be revealed openly, but could always be sensed between the lines.

"You didn't even bother to go back and take a look at her mother until she was so mad at her. You're so aggressive towards your elders. You even embarrassed your mother. You don't even have the most basic manners. You're harsh and rebellious. You beat and hurt people at every turn. You look like someone who was brought up from the lowest class..."

He sighed: "If Ah Can didn't really like her, I wouldn't understand why Ah Can would like her. He has been surrounded by well-educated and well-mannered ladies since he was a child - it's good this way."

He suddenly changed the subject, and said worriedly and earnestly: "I am already dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, and your grandfather also doesn't like Ye Kong. If this engagement can really be cancelled, it would be a good thing, but...they have such a good relationship, and it is said that they meet and date every day." At this point, a trace of disgust flashed across the middle-aged man's face, "How can we make them cancel the engagement in the true sense and break up from now on?"

He seemed to have a headache: "I don't understand the love affairs of you young people. If it's just to cancel the engagement ceremony, it's easy to say. We can just not hold the ceremony and announce the cancellation of the engagement. But Qin Jianbai's intention is clearly that they really want to break up, not just cancel the engagement..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Wen Lian: "Xiao Lian, do you have any ideas?"

This was related to Wen Lian's own interests, and he had been thinking hard about it all the way. He immediately answered: "For a loving couple to break up, either there is an irresistible external force, or they just get tired of each other..."

"External obstruction?" Wen Rong waved his hands repeatedly, "If you want me to forcibly stop your cousin, I can't. You know what state he is in now. He gets angry easily and looks gloomy and decadent all day long. I'm afraid he will get depressed one day. Besides, I have always been a good father to your cousin. I can't destroy my position in his son's heart."

Wen Lian: ...

Even Wen Lian couldn't help but be stunned for a while after hearing this. She suppressed the nausea in her stomach and smiled perfectly: "Of course I know this, so I also think that we can only choose the latter option."

"Let them hate each other." Wen Rong became interested. "How can we do it? A-can is hundreds of times better than that woman in every way except that he can't walk. If she can tolerate his disability, I don't think she will hate A-can for anything else."

His face was even full of pride as a father, which suddenly made Wen Lian feel a little creepy.

He shook his arms and said after a while, "Since she likes someone like my cousin, what if a man who looks like my cousin but has no physical defects and can run and jump appears in front of her?"

He said: "Most young girls love men. My cousin is indeed perfect, but disability is a hurdle that no one can get over. As his girlfriend, I don't believe Ye Kong has no regrets. Anyone who is his girlfriend will regret this. When a similar but intact man appears in front of her, treats her well and gently - she may be dismissive at first, but if time goes on, or if something happens to enhance the relationship, can she continue to maintain her feelings?"

Wen Lian said meaningfully, "Besides, if there is a person who looks similar but can run and jump in front of her every day to make her laugh, then when she sees her cousin who can't stand up, won't she feel a comparison in her heart? The more comparisons there are, the more regrets she will feel. The more regrets there are, the more resentment she will naturally feel."
