Of course, Wen Wenya was naturally unaware of the undercurrents in the Wen family that day. She looked at the thunder and lightning, the strong winds and heavy rain outside the window, and frowned slightly. This storm came just before her coming-of-age ceremony, as if it was some kind of warning, and it caused a slight ripple in her heart.
The closer it got to the coming-of-age ceremony banquet, the easier it was for Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble against her.
"What are you thinking about?" Si Yiyan walked over to her side and stood side by side with her, with a firm composure, as if declaring that he was willing to accompany her through all the storms.
Wen Xinya smiled warmly, tilted her head to look at Si Yiyan and said with a smile: "I was wondering, it's raining so hard outside, how am I going to get back later."
The news that the capital city was hit by heavy rain has now spread throughout the entire City B through the media, television, and the Internet. The news warned the public not to travel during heavy rain and to stay at home as much as possible.
Si Yiyan's eyes gradually brightened, captivating people: "It's raining so hard, why don't you stay here for one night? I'll take you back tomorrow morning."
As Xinya got older, he had more concerns. In the past six months, he rarely let Xinya stay overnight at his place. After all, Xinya had always been the focus of media attention. If the media knew that she did not return home at night, it would affect her reputation.
Wen Xinya raised her eyebrows, her eyes sparkling with light and a faint glow: "It's not impossible to stay for one night, but you have to tell me in E language, "I am Wen Xinya's man"."
Si Yiyan couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that this little girl was so petty and loved to hold grudges. She still remembered how he fooled her. "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. If you want to... I'll tell you a thousand times."
Wen Xinya pretended to be all ears: "Go ahead, I'm listening!"
"Ябылтеплый Яковмужчин!" Si Yiyan looked at Wen Xinya intently. His hoarse voice was faintly charming and soul-stirring. His clear face was set against the darkness outside the floor-to-ceiling window, presenting a freehand style like ink. His eyes were hidden with enthusiasm, and they bloomed in full swing in an instant.
"I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again." Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan, but her eyes reflected the rose flowers outside the floor-to-ceiling window, exposed to the wind and rain. Even though the branches were trembling, swaying, and being destroyed and scattered on the ground, the bright and unrestrained color was the only bright color in the world.
Si Yiyan's eyes were as clear as lacquer, like the bright and dazzling stars in the dark night.
I don't know how many times Si Yiyan said this. Wen Xinya gently kissed his lips and said with a smile: "As you wish, I will stay here tonight."
Si Yiyan smiled contentedly and kissed her softly on the lips, with a lingering kiss like a butterfly in love with a flower.
After kissing for a while, Wen Xinya smiled and dodged and asked, "Si Yiyan, you have been teaching me E language for so long, but I can only speak some daily conversation phrases. How did you learn the languages of dozens of countries?"
She felt that language was the most difficult thing to learn in the world. If it weren't for her persistence, she would have given up long ago.
Si Yiyan put his arm around her waist and sat on the sofa, explaining, "I went to Country E alone at the beginning. The situation in Country E was very tense. Because of my father's death, Lucifer's power gradually began to shrink. It happened that the new mayor of the capital of Country E came to power. Lucifer was suppressed by Ivanov and the government there and couldn't even raise his head. The main JH business was reduced to 40%. The Ivanov family can now become so powerful in Country E because they have swallowed up nearly half of Lucifer's JH business. If a ceasefire agreement cannot be reached, Lucifer will suffer a devastating blow..."
It was the first time that Wen Xinya heard him talk about his trip to Country E alone and the difficult situation he faced there, so she listened very carefully.
Si Yiyan continued, "Lucifer is in turmoil. Civil war, fighting, struggle, and competition are all taking place inside Lucifer. At this time, I, the young master of Lucifer, have to stand up."
He was still very naive at that time. He thought that Lucifer was created by the Si family, and he could successfully take over Lucifer with the token passed down from generation to generation in the Si family. However... no one told him that there is a most unpredictable thing in this world called the human heart, and that in the human heart lives a terrible beast called greed.
He, the young master in name only, became everyone's target. Some people were ambitious and wanted to kill him as a stumbling block, while others were hypocritical and wanted to emulate Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms who held the emperor hostage and controlled the princes. The brutal struggle for power almost put him in danger of death and almost caused Lucifer to collapse.
"What happened next?" Wen Xinya's heart sank and she suddenly held his hand. He said it nonchalantly, but she could understand his situation at the time. It must have been a life-and-death situation, and he was in danger every moment. How old was he at that time, but he experienced all the darkness in the world, shouldered a heavy mission, and was forced to grow up quickly.
Si Yiyan's tone became weaker. "Country E is a country that relies mainly on heavy industry, and its consumption of oil is huge. So the first thing I thought of was oil. Xia Sishi has considerable oil resources in the central part of China, but I didn't control Xia Sishi at that time, so I could only rely on my own efforts. I took Gu Yuehan and Gu Yuexi to the east because we had to do business with them and it was advantageous to know their language. That's when I learned the language there. Because the countries in the central part of China are very close to each other, their languages have a lot in common. If you know one thing, you will know a hundred things."
Wen Xinya suddenly thought of the rumors about Si Yiyan that Gu Junlin had mentioned in the Ninth Heaven: "The bloody and violent East has no choice but to submit to you. How did you do it?"
Those people in the east worship the strong and are quite brutal and bloody. She doesn't believe that Si Yiyan and a few young people can reach such a cooperation with the local government that all countries are eager to cooperate. If it were so easy, there wouldn't be so many cruel wars of resource plundering and possession in the world.
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "I seem to have told you before that I believed in Buddhism when I was very young. I sympathized with the countries in the central and eastern parts that suffered from war, so I often donated money and materials. I thought I did it very secretly, but in fact my mother and father knew about it a long time ago. They set up a foundation in my name and funded those countries all year round. In the eyes of those countries, I am the savior."
Wen Xinya whispered: "This is probably what Buddhism calls cause and effect. Sow good seeds and reap good fruits!"
If Si Yiyan didn't have good intentions, how could he have secured oil resource cooperation for Lucifer, reached an oil cooperation with Country E, and reached a ceasefire agreement with them. Lucifer has established a position in Country E because of his considerable oil resources, making everyone dare not take it lightly. Also because of the considerable oil resources, Lucifer has been able to withdraw from the complex politics of Country E and stay out of it.
Si Yiyan looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "Wen Xinya, I planted a seed in the spring, and it bloomed into a beautiful flower in the summer. When can I taste the sweet fruit?"
Wen Xinya's face turned red, and she immediately turned from shame and anger into anger. All the gloom in her heart was driven away by Si Yiyan's words.
