Wen Xinya slowly raised the corners of her lips. The old ones are still the wisest. Yu Bo, a servant of the Li family in Gangcheng, thought he was superior to others. He acted as if Xia Ruya had suffered a great injustice in the Wen family and did not take the Wen family seriously. As soon as Xia Ruya arrived, he wanted to use her to show his power to the Wen family and support his own young lady.
But he forgot that this is the capital, not Hong Kong!
Maybe, in Hong Kong, this Yu Bo is highly regarded by Old Master Li, so everyone will give him some face, but what is Beijing? It is Country Z, a place where power, politics, and wealth gather. Who can have a place in Beijing? Which one is easy to get along with? Moreover, whether it is an old family or a wealthy family in Beijing, they all have one common characteristic, that is, they value rules.
There is no place for a servant like Yu Bo to speak here.
Mr. Wen glanced at him, then respectfully instructed Steward Yu, "Steward Yu, take Mr. Yu to the side hall for some tea. I haven't seen Ruya for a long time, and I want to talk to her."
This sentence, which is neither soft nor hard, is incredibly lethal.
Yu Bo lost more than he gained, and was immediately ashamed. He quickly suppressed the various emotions in his heart and said, "Mr. Wen, you are really polite. It was my old master's idea that I came to visit you today."
In the first confrontation, Yu Bo was defeated. After all, he came from a wealthy family, so he quickly adjusted his attitude and spoke much more humbly than before.
The old and young in the Wen family are indeed not easy to get along with. It's a wonder how the young lady managed to survive.
Old Master Wen said calmly, "When I was young, I went to Hong Kong several times and met the old man of the Li family several times. I wonder if he is still as healthy as he was back then?"
Uncle Yu took the initiative to mention the old man of the Li family, Mr. Gao Wen, who was of the same generation as the old man of the hometown. As a younger generation, Mr. Wen naturally could not lose his manners and had a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. Compared with the arrogance shown by Uncle Yu, Mr. Wen seemed more calm and composed.
Just as Yu Bo was about to answer, Xia Ruya smiled and continued, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Wen. Great Grandpa is old, so his health is naturally not as good as before, but he is still quite healthy."
Old Master Wen smiled faintly and said, "It is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy. Now that I have Ruya by my side, I feel relieved. I will be in better health in the future."
These words were quite real and sincere. After all... the situation of the Wen family was similar to that of the Li family. It was not difficult for people to imagine that he felt the same way.
Xia Ruya smiled and said, "Just like Grandpa Wen."
Xia Ruya's face was full of sincerity when she spoke, and her soft voice seemed to be a little softer than usual.
Mr. Wen stopped talking.
Wen Xinya watched with a smile as her grandfather and Xia Ruya exchanged official language with each other. Their seemingly insignificant words were actually a battle without a trace of gunpowder.
Yu Bo took the opportunity to mention Old Master Li. Although his attitude was much more respectful, it was obvious that he wanted to use Old Master Li to gain the initiative in speaking in front of Grandpa and make his purpose of coming today known.
However, Grandpa refused to be fooled and instead asked about Old Master Li's health, which ruined Yu Bo's plan. In order to prevent Yu Bo from getting anxious and losing face by losing his composure again, Xia Ruya took the initiative to continue the conversation.
Now, Grandpa has taken the initiative, and Xia Ruya and Yu Bo have fallen into a passive situation. Next... no matter what they want to say, do, or what their purpose is, the Wen family will just take over.
Xia Ruya bit her lip and looked at Old Man Wen, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Mr. Wen pretended not to see anything, and the atmosphere in the living room was eerily quiet.
Yu Bo thought that it was not a good idea to remain in this stalemate, after all... today they took the initiative to visit, and he came with the young lady, so the young lady's position was not just to come and reminisce with the Wen family, but to represent the position of the Li family. Since she came to visit on behalf of the Li family, she must have come for something.
Uncle Yu pondered and organized his words: "The old man asked me to accompany the young lady to come here specially, mainly to thank the Wen family for taking care of the young lady over the years. Originally, the old man was going to come in person to thank Mr. Wen, but as you know, the Li family has few children, so for so many years, the Li family's huge industry has still been managed by the old man. The old man really can't spare the time, I hope Mr. Wen will forgive me."
Yu Bo's words were full of sincerity, but Wen Wenya knew that the Li family's move was not to express their sincere gratitude, but just to show their appreciation to the Wen family. Logically speaking, the Wen family raised the only bloodline of the Li family. Such a favor was as high as the mountains and as vast as the rivers. Even if Old Master Li was very busy, he would definitely take time out to express his gratitude. But now... they sent a servant to accompany Xia Ruya to the Wen family to show off their power. Before they even said the words of thanks, they intended to control her, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and give the Wen family a warning. This attitude... is too arrogant and overbearing. Isn't he looking down on others
Not only Wen Xinya thought of this, but also Old Master Wen. His face darkened slightly: "Old Master is really too polite."
Such cold and distant words are really embarrassing to people's ears.
Yu Bo was unable to continue speaking for a moment.
Xia Ruya smiled and explained, "Grandpa Wen, for so many years, Ruya has been blessed with your love and your teachings. I am grateful. Great Grandpa is also grateful to you. When I came to the capital, he repeatedly instructed me to go to your house to thank you on his behalf."
Rourou's words were simply impossible to refute.
Wen Xinya's eyes dimmed, and Old Man Wen pursed his lips and said nothing.
With Xia Ruya's help, Yu Bo took over the offer naturally: "Miss Ruya, thank you for your care over the years. This is a small gift from our old master. Please don't refuse it, Mr. Wen, otherwise the old master will feel bad."
As he spoke, Uncle Yu pushed several documents, several exquisite boxes, and two gold cards in front of Grandpa Wen and just stared at him.
This is a considerable amount of money. It includes the money given to the young lady by the Wen family when they forced her to leave the family, and the real estate and jewelry compensated by the Li family. The total amount is more than 200 million. The old man returned to the Wen family twice the amount of money the Wen family had spent on the young lady over the years.
The Li family is famous for its wealth in Hong Kong.
Just over 200 million, the old man never took it seriously.
In the words of the old master, the Wen family was unkind and unjust to the young lady, but their Li family could not be ruthless and unrighteous to the Wen family, otherwise they would be criticized, so they had to spend the money.
