As Wei Shaokai expected, Wen Xiangqian flew back to China from the United States very soon, formally visited Solemn Qing on behalf of the Wen family, and expressed his desire to meet Shao Jun and have a detailed discussion with him. Although Yan Yanqing knew a thing or two about what Wen Xiangqing did, Wen Xiangqian didn't come here empty-handed. He came to visit Yan's house with several gifts. He knew that Mr. Yan liked antique walnuts from the Qing Dynasty, so he bought a pair at a high price. The ruddy 'lion's head' is said to be walnuts dished out by eunuchs in the Qing Palace. It is a rare treasure in the market.
The idea of giving gifts alone is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What's more, Wenwan walnuts from the Qing Dynasty are not something you can buy with money.
Seeing that Wen Xiangqian was indeed sincere, it was hard to refuse if he was serious and clear, so he could only convey Wen Xiangqian's intentions to Shao Jun.
Shao Jun knew what Wen Xiangqian wanted to see him for, and he wanted to refuse, but at Solemn Qing's suggestion, he still met Wen Xiangqian in the main building of Yan's house.
The main building of the Yan family is an old-fashioned two-story building built in the 1950s and 1960s. The appearance of the house is a bit old, but the inside of the house has been cleaned and tidy by the servants. It does not look old at all, but it adds a bit of historical atmosphere.
In the reception room of more than 100 square meters, there are two sets of sofas, one is an old-fashioned light green fabric sofa, and the other is a set of wooden sofas by the window. The rest of the furnishings are some mahogany furniture.
In addition to the two sets of sofas, there are several pots of white jasmine flowers in full bloom on the table in the large living room, which fills the room with a delicate fragrance without any incense.
Under the leadership of the butler, Shao Jun walked into the living room.
As soon as he walked in, Wen Qianqian, who was sitting on the mahogany sofa, immediately stood up and greeted him proactively.
Seeing the man walking towards him, Shao Jun stopped, his eyes stayed on the man, and examined his appearance.
We haven't seen each other for many years, Wen Xiangqian is indeed getting old.
Although he was wearing a light blue long-sleeved shirt, which made him look younger, some nasolabial folds appeared on his face, his eyes were deeper than before, and his temperament was stable and mature.
More than ten years ago, Shao Jun had been to Wen's family. Since then, Wen Xiangqian has been in charge of the Wen family's power. Now more than ten years have passed, but Wen Xiang has more wrinkles on his face and It's just a bit more mature man's temperament.
"Ah Jun, long time no see."
Just as Shao Jun looked at Wen Qianqian in silence, Wen Qianqian had already walked in front of Shao Jun, raised a smile actively, said hello to Shao Jun, and stretched out his hand with a smile.
Shao Jun didn't want to return the gift at first, but thought of Serious Qing saying that Wen Xiangqian came here with sincerity, so he pursed the corners of his mouth and shook it with a smile, "Yes, it's been more than ten years."
"I still remember that you and Ah Qing had the best relationship when they were young. She was weak when she was young, and other children always disliked her as a burden and didn't want to play with her. Only you are willing to take her with you wherever you go. You always protect her. Seeing her not being bullied, I thought you would have some development when you grow up, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." Wen Xiangqian began to talk about the past, and when he said the last sentence, his tone became a little heavy , said with some regret.
When something related to Wen Xiangqian was mentioned, the smile on Shao Jun's face immediately stopped, and he couldn't even pretend to be able to do it. He put away his smile in an instant, and his fair and clean face was expressionless. These words did not make any statement, and looked at him silently.
Wen Xiangqian naturally also saw the change of expression on Shao Jun's face, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a sincere tone: "I know that Ah Qing has done a lot of excessive things this time, let me tell you clearly, I am here this time It’s just to intercede for them, I hope you will read it for the sake of your past love, let them go, let me take them away, and I promise that they will never appear in front of you in the future.”
Shao Jun licked the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold voice: "I think you must have known what they did to me before you came, my fiancée was pregnant with my child, and she was raped on the day of our wedding." The mercenaries hired by your brother and sister were robbed, and their life and death are still unknown. If it was you who did such a thing, would you forgive them?"
"No," Wen Xiangqian replied decisively, "If it were me, I would cut them into pieces to relieve their hatred. But I am not you after all, and this thing did not happen to me, please forgive me for not being able to Empathy. They are my younger brother and younger sister, so I will do everything possible to keep them. You can take all the properties of the Wen family in Huaxia. If you think it is not enough, I can add more. I will also talk about finding younger brothers and sisters. Do your best to search for her, as long as she is still alive, we will not stop until we find her and send her to you personally."
Shao Jun's eyes were extremely dark, and he stared at Wen Qiang with a sinister gaze, and looked into his eyes with cold eyes, and said word by word, extremely coldly, "What will happen if I don't agree?"
The smile on Wen Xiangqian's face also disappeared, his tone was still calm, and he said lightly: "There is no way. If you insist on not letting Ah Qing and Xiangbei go, there is nothing I can do. Now our Wen family is no longer developing domestically." , the power is naturally inferior to the Yan family. If you insist on taking their lives, I can only stand by and watch. However, if Ah Qing and Xiang Bei are in any danger, I will initiate a lawsuit against you after they are dead. Litigation, even if it costs the entire Yan family."
"Then I advise my ex-brother to find a better lawyer, because I'm afraid this lawsuit will be very difficult." Shao Jun didn't care about Wen Xiangqian's threats, and after finishing speaking coldly, he stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing that Shao Jun was going to leave, Wen Xiangqian hurriedly asked, "Ah Jun, if we find Xu Nianyi, can you let them go?"
Shao Jun's footsteps paused, but he didn't speak, and then walked out of the living room quickly.
Outside the house, outside the small western-style building is a huge artificial lake and an antique gazebo.
In the gazebo, Ji Zhen watched Shao Jun leave the mansion, with a look of joy flashing across his eyes, but with a worried look on his face, he turned around and said to Serious Qing who was standing beside him: "Brother Qing, look The way Ah Jun came out, he probably didn't make an agreement with Wen Xiangqian. The Wen family really went too far this time, how could they kidnap that child Nian Yi?"
After Ji Zhen said a word filled with righteous indignation, the conversation suddenly changed, and she said worriedly, "But... Although what the Wen family did is indeed very annoying. But this time, isn't Ah Jun a little too extreme? Speaking of whether it's worth it for a woman, even considering the friendship between the Yan family and the Wen family for so many years, it shouldn't be so aggressive!"
Seriously and dissatisfied, he glanced at Ji Zhen, and said displeasedly: "Is this considered aggressive? It's just to confine Wen Xiangqing's freedom, which is too much? What about Nian Yi, have you ever thought about where Nian Yi is now? What kind of crime did you suffer? You are standing up and talking without pain in your back, if you replace Nian Yi with Ah Kuan, would you still say that?"
"Brother Qing, you misunderstood me. I don't want Ah Jun to forget it, but at least give the Wen family a face, right?" Ji Zhen quickly said with a smile on her face, "And the Wen family is already full. He expressed the sincerity of apologizing, even if they can give all their properties in Huaxia to the Yan family, what is there not to be satisfied with?"
"A woman's view!" The serious and clear face became even more ugly, and she gave Ji Zhen a dissatisfied look, then turned around and flicked her sleeves, ignoring Ji Zhen beside her, and walked towards the study with big strides.

Hungry and cold, Xiang Bei developed a high fever due to an inflamed wound. He nestled under the pier of an overpass, covered with a tattered overcoat. Just when he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly felt someone standing in front of him, squatting down and stuffing a package into his coat.
Xiang Bei immediately woke up without any sleepiness. When the man left, he reached out to touch the package, sat up reluctantly and opened it. There were several stacks of hundred-dollar bills and a passport inside.
Xiang Bei smiled wryly, stuffed the money into his pocket and tore the passport in half.
With the money, I found a clinic, treated my inflamed wound, changed my clothes, bought a mobile phone, and called Wen Xiangqing.
Wen Xiangqing was very happy to receive the call from Xiang Bei, and asked repeatedly: "Brother, where are you? Why don't you come back to find me?"
Xiang Beiqiang cheered up and said, "Don't ask these questions for now, try to go out as little as possible now, and if a stranger comes to you, remember not to open the door, and call the police as soon as possible."
"I know brother." Wen Xiangqing responded obediently on the phone, and then said to Xiangbei coquettishly, "Brother, when are you coming back? I don't want to stay here anymore. Ah Jun doesn't treat me well at all. I want to go back to Europe!"
Xiang Bei twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, and pulled out a wry smile, "Why, don't you want to be with Shao Jun anymore?"
Wen Xiangqing was very disappointed and said: "I finally understand now that Ah Jun doesn't have me in his heart at all. I thought that as long as I drive away that woman Xu Nianyi, I must have a way to make Ah Jun like me. But after this After meeting for a while, I realized that he really doesn’t like me at all, and has no feelings for me. No matter how hard I try, it’s useless, in front of Xu Nianyi, I’m nothing. He seems to have eaten ecstasy soup now Same, there is only Xu Nianyi in my heart, and I can't tolerate me at all."
"Then don't you want to try again?" Xiang Bei asked tentatively, "Do you still like Shao Jun?"
"... I like him. I can't let him go. I have always wanted to marry him these years. He is the goal I have worked hard for. But now, this goal is too difficult to achieve. Without this goal, I don't know what is left of my life." What to do. But now I am very unhappy and confused, and I don't want to think about these things anymore." Wen Xiangqing said in a soft and sad voice, "It's better that you treat me well and help me all the time, no matter what happens , you think of me. Thank you so much."
"You don't need to say thank you to me." Xiang Bei's heart was extremely warm, and the arc of the corner of his mouth unconsciously deepened a lot. With an unusually gentle voice, he uttered words like a whisper in a lover's world, "You just need to like me, that's enough..."
