Chapter 4, Everyone knows I love you (4)
"Do you have a house? Do you have a car? Do you have savings? Do you have a stable job that can support me?" Deng Jiujiu replied with a nose-picking emoji
Wen Zhiyuan did not ask anything further, casually instructing her to pay attention to her words and actions when outside, and to maintain the demeanor of a young lady. Every time Wen Xin heard such moral lessons, she would switch to a mode where they entered through her left ear and exited through her right, listening to her father's admonitions with boredom, her gaze aimlessly scanning the surroundings.
Wen Xin smiled lightly, her expression relaxed and easygoing, urging, "Of course. Why aren't you leaving quickly? You'll be late."
Do you have 36D breasts? Do you have the face of an angel? Do you have the body of a devil? Still with a nose-picking expression
Wen Xin's father, Wen Zhiyuan, is the director of the finance department at a branch of a state-owned bank in H City, and he is considered a prominent figure in H City. Looking at the flickering screen, Wen Xin sighed. She has been afraid of her father since childhood, particularly due to his position as a leader. Wen Zhiyuan always presents a serious and stern demeanor in front of others, and it is rare to see him smile.
Wen Xin let out a long sigh while holding the phone, her gaze involuntarily drifting resentfully towards the man in the Starbucks across from her. There he sat, elegantly, with his head lowered, engrossed in his phone, while the beautiful woman opposite him seemed to be saying something to him. He remained focused on his phone with a serious expression. Observing his seemingly harmless demeanor, Wen Xin couldn't help but clench her teeth in anger
What are your plans afterwards? Are you considering taking the civil service exam or something else?
Warmth was also amused by her exaggerated expression, "Stop being poor, finish eating and hurry back."
Wen Zhiyuan fell silent for a moment and asked, "Aren't you planning to go home?"
Wenxin's expression returned to calm, yet the words filled with meaning that Wen Nuan had spoken before leaving weighed heavily on her heart. She understood Wen Nuan's intentions and concerns; her impulsive and carefree nature often led her to act without considering the consequences, making her prone to some obsessive behaviors. However, no one else was her, and no one could truly comprehend her innermost thoughts. That was Lin Jiayue, the boy she had liked for seven years and had devoted everything to pursuing for seven years. To say to let go is to let go, to say to forget is to forget, to say to break up is to break up; it is not so easy for anyone.

Ah! As you command! Wen Xin playfully bowed.
Wen Xin received a call from Wen Zhi Yuan while waiting for a taxi
He was sitting by the window of Starbucks across the street, calm and elegant, fresh and handsome. He was still wearing a clean and well-fitted suit, his tall and slender figure looking very good. ... Opposite him sat a girl, um ... . ... Not the one from last night, it seemed he had changed to another, one even more beautiful and pure than the one from last night. Wenxin couldn't help but click her tongue twice, silently despising him in her heart. ...

Wen Zhiyuan interrupted: "So that's a provocation against me, have you grown wings?"
In the following month, the relationships in the dormitory had already become quite awkward. She and Deng Jiuyou no longer paid any attention to Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu spent every day with Wang Tingting, which made Wenxin feel regretful, as they had been roommates and close friends for four years, yet now their relationship had soured over a man.
Wen Xin was momentarily taken aback, her hand gripping the phone unconsciously tightening, and she said softly: "I want to be with my sister"
"With you protecting me, who would dare to bully me?" Wen Xin replied
Father! Please spare me! Wenxin silently shouted in her heart
Wen Nuan is evidently quite successful under the strict upbringing of Wen Zhi Yuan, being gentle, virtuous, independent, and ambitious
After finishing breakfast, Wen Nuan was getting ready to go to work. While packing her things, she asked Wen Xin, "Are you going back or staying here with me?" Wen Xin was taken aback, seemingly in thought. She took a bite of the French bread and mumbled, "I’m going back. I haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I hide from them?" Wen Nuan nodded in agreement and gently reminded her before leaving, "Make sure to take a taxi back later, and call home when you have time. Your parents miss you a lot."
Wen Xin was momentarily taken aback, then gently pulled at a smile: "Many well-known companies hold recruitment fairs at our school, so I will give it a try first"
Deng Jiuyou replied with a funny emoji, "I haven't been busy with much, my brother is setting me up, making sure everyone in the company gets to know me and remembers my appearance"
That's good. My sister is not at school during this time. If that wretched person dares to bully you, call Chen Hao. I have already instructed him; he will make her unrecognizable even to her own mother
At the end of June, Wenxin had just come out of the library, only to find that a fierce battle was awaiting her in the dormitory
In the next moment, she suddenly realized that the phone seemed to... still be on the line. While Father Wen was seriously and profoundly educating her on how a girl should and should not behave, she unexpectedly made such a sound
Wenxin rarely stays in the dormitory; every day upon waking, she either goes to the library or attends various job recruitment fairs. Deng Jiuyou has also been particularly busy in the past month, as she is set to join her father's company right after graduation, and is currently being kept by her brother at the company to familiarize herself with the environment. The two have hardly seen each other, and Deng Jiuyou has been constantly bothering her on WeChat.
Wen Xin stood at the door of the dormitory, the door slightly ajar. She coldly watched Song Qingyu, who sat with her head down at her desk, her eyes red and swollen, looking as if she had been crying. Wang Tingting was squatting beside her desk, softly comforting her, occasionally inquiring about Wen Xin's parents.
As expected, Wen Zhiyuan changed his tone and sternly reprimanded her: "What are you clicking your tongue for? Are you impatient or trying to provoke me? Do you think that without me by your side, I can't manage you?"
Answer the phone
The voice on the other end of the phone was that of Wen Zhiyuan, sounding rather stiff: "Did you not secure a study abroad quota?"
The warm apartment is located right next to the CBD of City A, and during peak commuting hours, traffic congestion is extremely severe. Wenxin hurriedly tidied herself up and took a simple white printed T-shirt and light blue jeans from her warm wardrobe to wear. Wenxin has a very slender figure and well-shaped hips, making this simple combination particularly attractive
She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her slightly pale face, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart: Who is she putting on this lifeless act for? Who would feel sorry for her? Without Lin Jiayue, she couldn't live, could she? How pathetic! The more Wenxin thought about it, the angrier she became, and in a fit of pique, she slathered all her cosmetics onto her face. The warm cosmetics were all high-end products brought back from abroad by someone, and once applied, they instantly made her radiant and full of spirit, revitalizing her entire appearance. Only then did Wenxin leave the house, satisfied.
Oh...? Isn't that the unfortunate Mr. who encountered her three times yesterday and ended up with his pants covered in vomit?
During this period, Lin Jiayue called her several times, all of which she ignored one by one. Subsequently, Lin Jiayue sent a few text messages.
This feels just like an ant trying to shake a big tree, a ridiculous overestimation of one's own abilities
Wen Xin was amused by her, and Deng Jiu Jiu sent another message: "Is someone bullying you?"
Wen Xin responded with a sound of acknowledgment
"I know..." Wenxin lazily elongated her tone and murmured softly, "Sister, does your boyfriend know you are so nagging?" Wennuan clearly heard her, turned around, and looked at her calmly, saying, "You think I am nagging? Then I won't take care of you, let Dad take care of you himself." Wenxin immediately let out a wail and quickly smiled ingratiatingly, saying, "Don't! Sister, I like you taking care of me. If you don't take care of me for a day or two, I will go crazy like a cat that can't catch fish."
Alright, no more rambling, my brother is about to take me away again, I will leave first, talk later
Before leaving, Wen Nuan still felt uneasy and reminded her once more: "Wen Xin, some things are not worth being overly concerned about. It does not matter how others perceive you. Do not hurt yourself just to prove a point in the moment; in the end, it is those who love you that will be hurt. Do not do foolish things that please your enemies while causing pain to your loved ones, do you understand?"
Have you had enough of the commotion
"Dad... please let me explain... actually... I really am not impatient..." Wenxin said with a sorrowful face, trying to explain.
Until warmth departed, the spacious living room was left with only Wenxin curled up on the sofa. Suddenly, a muffled thunder rumbled outside the window, and the sky gradually darkened. A cool summer breeze gently rustled the leaves of the trees outside. In the early summer morning, the sun rose slowly, casting soft rays of light in the sky, ethereal and refreshing
Wen Xin, my dear, do you miss me? At this moment, Wen Xin would put down what she was doing to chat with her for a while. Of course, what have you been busy with at your father's company lately?
Wen Xin was almost ready to kneel before him
Then you are a man, so I will marry you
Kiss! (╯ 3 ╰)
Wen Xin rubbed her forehead helplessly and answered the phone: "Dad"
Wen Zhiyuan snorted: "Keep on weaving, keep on weaving. Eating vegetable leaves early in the morning? Are you a bug?"
Wenxin is probably a counterexample to this strict upbringing. She is almost the opposite of Wennuan, yet her personality is more likable. When some uncles and aunts came to play at their home when she was young, Wenxin was mischievous but very sweet-tongued, constantly greeting everyone with "Uncle" and "Aunt". The adults all liked her. In contrast, Wennuan was more reserved and spoke little; even when guests came to the house, she would always just hide in her room quietly reading.
A short and ordinary sentence stirred a warm current in Wen Xin's heart, causing her eyes to ache and almost bring tears to her eyes. She felt that God was truly fair, allowing her to meet Lin Jiayue while also having Deng Jiujiu by her side. She held back her tears, her throat feeling a wave of acidity, and replied: "A Jiu, if I were a man, I would definitely marry you"
End of friendship
Wenxin slept soundly at Wenwan's home for an entire night, and the next day she was fully revitalized. Wenwan prepared breakfast and watched Wenxin bounce around in her spacious living room, her lips curved in a faint smile as she remained silent: it is truly uncertain whether Wenxin's carefree and untroubled nature is a blessing or a curse.
Wen Xin calmly finished reading, deleted everything one by one, and then nonchalantly put the phone back in her bag. It must be said that Wen Xin is actually a very persistent person, but often such individuals can be more ruthless than anyone else when they make up their minds.
Fortunately, it seems that someone on Wen Zhiyuan's side was looking for him regarding some matters, and after reprimanding her a couple of times, he hurriedly hung up the phone
The gaze was suddenly fixed.
Wen Xin was so frightened that she almost dropped the phone, "How could I dare to provoke you! It's really not... Please let me explain, it's like this, just now when I was eating, a piece of vegetable leaf got stuck in my teeth, and then I was making a clicking sound... trying to get it out."
