"Miss Su, please stop teasing Ruoruo," Wen Wanqing interrupted Su Qiaoqiao's words with a young smile. "Even if it's just playful banter from a younger sister, Ruoruo would still feel embarrassed."
Hearing Wen Yiannian speak, Su Jiacheng also pretended to scold Su Qiaoqiao while looking at her, "No manners! Am I someone you can joke with, little sister?"
Su Qiaoqiao snorted and averted her gaze, refusing to speak any further.
Su Ruobai saw the situation and wore an expression more embarrassing than crying, saying to Su Jiacheng, "Qi Qiao didn't mean it on purpose, Uncle Er, please don't blame her."
"Look, it's your elder brother who knows how to behave!" Su Jiacheng took this opportunity to say a few words to Su Qiaoqiao.
The seemingly insignificant remarks were naturally made for Su Ruobai and Wen Wannian to hear. After learning that Su Ruobai was just an intern and had spent the entire day making tea and pouring water, Su Jiacheng became completely reassured and bid farewell, taking Su Qiaoqiao with him.
In his old age, Wen Wannian used Su Ruobai's weak body as an excuse to let him rest in the house, while he himself went to see off Su's family member.
At the entrance of the small villa, Wen Wannian called out to Su Jiacheng as he was about to get into the car after seeing Su Qiaoqiao on board.
"Mr. Su, there are some things I would like to talk to you about."
Su Jiacheng stopped his work of opening the car door when he heard the words, raising his eyebrows as he looked over. In his eyes, filled with kindness, there was now a shrewdness.
"What does Mr. Wen want to say?"
"Regarding the matter of Ling Ai." Wen Wannian went straight to the point, "We both know the real reason why you married Su ShaoYe to me. The benefits you promised me did indeed tempt me. However, ultimately, I have to consider my reputation. Ling Ai must have already told you about what happened in Shangcheng last time, right?"
Su Jiacheng squinted his eyes and nodded.
Su Qiaoqiao naturally went back to complain to him, saying that Wen Wan protected Su Ruobai in his later years and treated him like a treasure.
Unexpectedly, he hasn't come to question the crime today, but instead brought it up himself.
Qiao Qiao did talk to me and we had some petty arguments, but I didn't take them seriously.
Wen Wannian smiled youthfully and said, "Then you really should take it seriously."
Su Jiacheng frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You know best why you married Young Master Su to me. In front of others, I made every effort to display a loving appearance for your sake. But Miss Su, with a face full of disgust, openly provokes and despises me. She doesn't even give me a shred of dignity and even seems to mock me together with everyone else," Warm and gentle eyes stared intently at Su Jiacheng, "You hope to avoid giving others any ammunition, yet Miss Su only seeks pleasure in her sharp tongue."
Su Jiacheng paused for a moment.
"I understand that you don't want this either, but you should at least restrain Miss Su a little." Wen Wannian smiled faintly, dispelling the tense atmosphere that had filled the air a moment ago. "In the end, I am an innocent person. I shouldn't have gotten involved in the matters of your family. However, you also heard what Miss Su said just now. Luckily, we are all insiders here. How do you think it would be if someone from outside overheard?"
With a few words, Su Jiacheng's face completely sank.
He knows very well what his daughter is like. He wouldn't blame Wen Wannian for gossiping about it. If his enemies on the business battlefield and the business media really find out that he is pretending to be a "good uncle," it would be a minor matter if Su Family's stocks plummet. But if someone takes advantage of this opportunity to undermine his already unsteady position as chairman, then that would be a huge loss.
However, being admonished by a younger generation, Su Jiacheng still felt somewhat displeased in his heart.
He did not lose his temper on the surface, but after returning to the car, he coldly glanced at Su Qiaoqiao.
"Afterwards, stay far away from Su Ruobai and Wen Wannian!"
