Chapter 261: Don’t Want to Give Up

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Xiao: I’m really sorry about today, I didn’t expect Wei Lai to be so impulsive. Please forgive her considering she’s still young.

Wei Xiao: Also, please apologize to Shen Jun for me. It’s my fault for ruining your date. To make it up to you, I’d like to invite you to the newly opened Lai Feng Restaurant by my family. The new chef specializes in Sichuan cuisine, and 1 remember you like spicy food. Would you honor us with your presence?

Wen Nian placed her phone between the two of them, implying that there’s absolutely no romantic involvement between her and Wei Xiao, and Shen Jun could freely check her phone.

Shen Jun looked at the WeChat messages, but he couldn’t muster any happiness. He never expected Wei Xiao to have such deep feelings for Wen Nian, remembering her preferences like this. Last time it was ice cream and cake, now it’s Sichuan cuisine.

However, Wen Nian, who was focused on trying to lead the conversation, didn’t sense his lack of enthusiasm. She was in a hurry now, knowing that if she waited until Wei Xiao and Jiang Ning got engaged, everything would slip out of her control.

“Should 1 say yes?” She looked at Shen Jun, her eyes filled with uncertainty. “Last time, he had a slip of the tongue. He must know something. If we ask him together this time, maybe we can unearth some substantial evidence?”

Seeing how serious Wen Nian looked, Shen Jun was suddenly less angry than before. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and how crucial this matter was to Wen Nian.

He also sensed that being so jealous wasn’t in line with his usual demeanor, so he relented and said, “Alright, you decide.”

Wen Nian then replied Wei Xiao.

Wen Nian: Your sister had better not show up in front of us again. If she decides to join too, don’t hold Shen Jun and me responsible if we choose to leave.

Wei Xiao had waited for over ten minutes, his anxiety growing with each passing second. Just as he was on the verge of asking again, a WeChat message from Wen Nian finally popped up on his screen.

Wei Xiao: “No need to worry, it’ll just be the three of us. I’ve already promised to treat you, so there won’t be anyone else.”

Wei Xiao: “Shen Jun will be coming too, right? Is he free tomorrow?”

Wen Nian: I’ll talk to him. Let’s do it tomorrow night. We have to study during the day.

Wei Xiao: “Alright! Feel free to pick a time that works for you. I’ll go ahead and reserve a table and the dishes.”

Wen Nian didn’t continue the conversation. It was evident that Wei Xiao was attempting to build a closer relationship with Shen Jun, not to mention Wei Lai.

After experiencing two lifetimes, if Wen Nian couldn’t decipher Wei Lai’s thoughts, then her time spent in the entertainment industry in her previous life would have been in vain.

In that moment, Wei Xiao was feeling quite pleased with himself for successfully arranging the meal with Shen Jun. Without delay, he promptly updated Wei Feng about the situation.

Wei Lai’s actions today were quite transparent. While her marriage to Shen Jun might bring benefits to the Wei family, it would not be beneficial to Wei Xiao.

Even if the old man had a soft spot for his grandson, introducing a powerful granddaughter could change Wei Feng’s perspective. Who knows if Wei Lai would indeed become the golden heir or if Wei Feng would need to seek favors from Wei Lai. This was something he refused to do.

Wei Feng, on the other hand, was happy that he could ask Shen Jun out. The Shen family was indeed not easy to get close to. He had also investigated and found that the friends around Shen Jun were either rich or noble. Moreover, they were all rich second-generation heirs and third-generation heirs in the capital. There were even third-generation heirs. The Wei family could not afford to miss such a relationship.

“There’s one more thing I think 1 should tell you, Grandpa.”

Wei Xiao pulled out his phone and displayed his chat history with Wen Nian to the old man. “Wen Nian has a particular dislike for Wei Lai, especially. Furthermore, today she seemed unusually agitated, behaving as though she intended to edge out Wen Nian from her position. Both Shen Jun and Wei Lai remained silent today. I’m concerned that if Wei Lai persists, it might end up working against us.”

Wei Feng read the message. His face was expressionless, but he was already feeling frustrated.

He had thought that Wei Lai was a smart person, but he did not expect her to find trouble with Wen Nian without his permission. Furthermore, it was such a clumsy trick.

Wei Feng handed the phone back to Wei Xiao and said, “You take care of this situation. Wei Lai won’t be getting involved.”

Upon receiving the old man’s reassurance, Wei Xiao left the study with a contented smile.

At this moment, Wei Lai, who had been hiding, walked out from behind the folding screen. “Grandfather, I also want to go, if 1 can…”

“What can you do?” Wei Feng looked at her with some displeasure. “You can only make Shen Jun dislike you. By then, you won’t even be able to enter the Shen family’s circle. Don’t disrupt the plan. I’ve said it before—if there’s an opportunity, I will arrange things for you. Don’t take matters into your own hands.”

As the absolute authority figure in the Wei family, Wei Feng’s word was law. He had heard some hints about today’s events, which was why he had summoned Wei Lai to inquire.

Naturally, Wei Lai didn’t dare to argue. But as soon as she returned to her room, she told Jiang Chun about the situation.

“Sister Jiang Chun, what do you think I should do? 1 don’t want to give up so easily..”
