Mr. Qi asked gently, "Jianning, what do you think of that Mr. Chen?"

Wen Jianning didn't understand what she meant for a while: "What...... What do you think?"

Mr. Qi looked at her as if he was looking at an ignorant child, with a little understanding in his indulgence.

Wen Jianning defended himself in a panic: "Sir, I have nothing to do with that Mr. Chen. ”

Although she felt that she had a clear conscience, she was still in a lower and lower voice for a long time, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Wen Jianning knew what Mr. Qi wanted to say, but until this moment, she had never had the kind of mind that Mr. had ever thought, because she couldn't see through Chen Hongwang. This man sometimes makes her let her guard down, and sometimes makes her instinctively feel dangerous, and even if they are friends now, they will only be ordinary friends in the future.

Mr. Qi saw her embarrassment and embarrassment, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly: "Mr. knows that because of your aunt's affairs, he has always been very wary of falling in love. But sometimes, when you get over the tension, it backfires. And maybe when, you will inadvertently miss a good relationship. ”

Wen Jianning looked at her blankly: "Sir." ”

She didn't understand what Mr. Qi meant, it stands to reason that Mr. Qi should blame her for having too close a relationship with Chen Hongwang, why did he suddenly change his tune.

Mr. Qi patted her on the shoulder gently: "You are sixteen now, but in the past, you may have already married a wife and taken care of the family's food, clothing." In the future, when you go to college, if you meet a young talent with an honest character, you might as well learn from the young people of the day and have a reliable relationship. ”

Wen Jianning called out in a low voice: "Sir." ”

Mr. Qi didn't speak again, got up and went back to the room first.

She believed that she had said enough of it.

When she heard the departure of the businessman surnamed Chen, she was actually relieved. Seeing that she treats her like a teacher and a mother, why doesn't she regard her as her own daughter. If this person has been dangling around Jianning, as time goes by, I don't know if anything will happen. Jianning is just a child after all, even if she can guard against it, she can't compare to this kind of time-honored person.

……

Chen Hongwang had just left Shanghai on the front foot, and Wen Baiqing, who had been busy with military affairs, finally took the time to come to Shanghai as if he had made an appointment.

Before he came, he had learned the ins and outs of the matter from the phone call of the Hong Kong Wen Mansion, and as soon as he got out of official business, he hurried here, and his fiancée Liao Jingqiu came with him.

As soon as the two sides met, Liao Jingqiu felt very guilty about Wen Jianning.

"If I hadn't lost my words that day, I wouldn't have bothered you so far. ”

She had learned from the newspaper about the many gossips surrounding the female writer Bai Mao during this time, and also learned some things about the Wen family from Wen Baiqing, and thought that it was her unintentional words on the dock that day that made the Wen family catch the handle of threatening Wen Jianning, and this turmoil happened.

Wen Jianning hurriedly said, "Sister Jingqiu, this has nothing to do with you. ”

The conflict between her and the Wen family has been going on for a long time, and it has nothing to do with Liao Jingqiu. Even if the Wen family found out that she was Bai Mao afterwards, she didn't know where she left a flaw.

On the other side, Wen Baiqing politely greeted Mr. Qi and said, "I have bothered you to take care of Ning for this period of time." ”

He knew that Jianning had always respected this former teacher, and she had been dependent on Mr. Qi's care during the time she ran away from home, so he was also very respectful to Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi just bowed slightly, didn't say anything, and withdrew first with Liao Jingqiu, leaving room for their brothers and sisters to be alone.

After the brother and sister sat down, the first thing they talked about was Hong Kong.

After Wen Jianning escaped, Wen Jingshu suspected that there were ghosts in the villa at first, but in the end she couldn't find out anything, so she had to give up. However, she openly and secretly guarded Jianwan and the others more strictly.

Hearing this, Wen Jianning breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she wrote the trust Zhong Hui as soon as she arrived in Shanghai, for some reason there was no letter from Jianxiu, which made her feel at ease before. Now it seems that Mei Shan was really moved by her words that day, and she not only let them go, but also kept them secrets. She didn't hide the escape from Wen Baiqing, and after telling the original incident, she said seriously: "Now that I'm not in Hong Kong, if there is anything on the villa, please help me take care of them more." ”

She offended Wen Jingshu so badly, and in the next two or three years, I am afraid that she will not be able to return to Hong Kong. The two of them are okay to say, and Jianxiu's age is not young, and Wen Jingshu will have to meddle in her marriage sooner or later.

Wen Baiqing naturally agreed.

Although his affection for Jianxiu and them is not as good as Wen Jianning, if something really happens to them, he will not stand idly by.

However, as far as he knew, when Wen Jingshu saw the article "Mrs. Afternoon Tea" in Hong Kong, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Even when they saw embroidery, they complained a lot about Wen Jianning, after all, when she wrote like this, she brought a few of them into it somewhat, and they would inevitably be talked about behind their backs.

When Wen Jianning heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Although this was not her intention, her impulsive actions still hurt them. But since she has done it, it is useless to regret it, she can only wait for the day when they meet again, and she will explain it to them well.

When she didn't speak, Wen Baiqing finally remembered to look at this sister seriously.

Over the years, their brothers and sisters have been together less and more apart, each time they meet for only a few days, almost in the time he didn't notice, she has grown up a lot, the expression on the side face is calm and dignified, and the black and white eyes are exceptionally clear and calm, as if she is not afraid of anything.

Wen Baiqing couldn't help but shake slightly.

In the past, he had always heard Aunt Mei Shan say that Jianning's eyes were the best, and today he knew that this was true.

He originally thought that Wen Jianning had been on the run for a few months, even if someone took care of him, he would not have a difficult life, and he would be angry and haggard because of the rogue methods of the Wen family. But when I saw it today, I found that after breaking away from the Wen family, now Jianning Meimei has a girl's unique vigor in her eyes, and she has completely lost her taciturn appearance in the past.

Wen Baiqing came back to his senses and continued to ask: "What are you going to do next, you can't keep spending like this with them." I've already asked someone to help you graduate from high school at your Hong Kong school, but you still have to study hard. ”

Wen Jianning did not hesitate this time, and quickly replied: "I plan to stay in China and review my homework and enter the university." ”

Wen Baiqing frowned slightly: "Are you sure, you plan to stay in China?"

Wen Jianning nodded seriously: "I'm sure." ”

Regarding her whereabouts, the two had a conversation a few years ago, but at that time, Wen Baiqing had not made up her mind when she was young, but now she had to make plans. Considering that it was convenient for him to arrange someone to take care of Jianning's stay in China, Wen Baiqing only pondered for a moment, and quickly agreed: "It's okay for you to stay in China, but it's too inconvenient to stay in Shanghai, with your grades, there should be no problem if you want to apply for Central University." ”

Wen Jianning lowered his head and said softly: "If I don't go to Central University, I want to go to Beiping." ”

If she was hesitant at first, she would have thought it through.

She wanted to leave Shanghai and go to Beiping.

Wen Baiqing saw that she was stubborn, and lowered her voice a little anxiously: "What kind of place is it in North China today, if you go there as a girl, who will take care of you." I might as well give you a thorough explanation, it will be a matter of time before I capture Pingjin. I have a whole army in front of me now, and I can't take care of you when I really fight. ”

"I don't want you to take care of me either," Wen Jianning's stubborn temper came up, and he refused to compromise with his neck, "I don't need others to take care of me." My classmates and I have already made an appointment to go to Peking together, and we must not break our promises. Besides, I always say that I want to fight, but I haven't really seen the sun. ”

Wen Baiqing persuaded her a few more times, but seeing that she still refused to let go, she simply stopped being this wicked person: "Okay, since you have already thought about it." I'll go back and ask if you have any friends in Beiping, and when the time comes, I'll find you a place to live in the surrounding area, and you can study there with peace of mind and prepare for the exam. But you can't just stay in this kind of place forever and then move in with my mother and live with her. ”

Although the Liao family has acquiesced to Meng Li's in-laws, this does not mean that they can accept to associate with Meng Li. Wen Baiqing simply placed her in a villa in the French Concession in Shanghai, and Wen Jianning could just go over to be her companion.

Wen Jianning listened, but did not agree immediately.

She lowered her head and was silent for a moment before she asked, "Can I ask you, where did you get so much money? ”

Although she didn't know the price of land in the French Concession, she also knew that this property was not affordable for ordinary people.

Even if Wen Baiqing is now serving in the army, even if he still maintains a relationship with the Wen family on the surface, and even has a marriage contract with the daughter of the Liao family, it is not enough to explain the source of this fund. Unless......

Wen Baiqing clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, looking away a little unnaturally.

Wen Jianning was still waiting for his explanation, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see him speak, and his eyes gradually turned to disappointment.

She realized that she really didn't know the cousin she had always trusted.

In the past few years, one of them was in Hong Kong and the other was in the mainland, and they were far apart. Although they are still close to each other as brothers and sisters because of a little same-earth sympathy when they were children, in fact she has never seen through him.

Wen Baiqing explained to her in a low voice: "Jianning, don't be so childish. This is not just me doing this, everyone in the army is like this, if you are not greedy for money, you don't stretch out your hand, you will only be excluded by others. ”

Wen Jianning interrupted him for the first time: "I understand the reason, you don't have to say it anymore." ”

The brother and sister were relatively silent for a long time.

Wen Jianning reluctantly cheered up: "There is one more thing, I am afraid I will not be able to attend your wedding." ”

According to Wen Baiqing's original plan, he and Liao Jingqiu will hold a wedding in Huaicheng and Guangzhou respectively. No matter where Wen Jianning attends, it is inevitable that he will run into the Wen family.

Wen Baiqing knew her situation, and did not insist on this matter, but only nodded.

The conversation between the brother and sister was not pleasant, both of them were unable to speak, and their faces were a little strange.

Before parting, Liao Jingqiu saw the clue, looked at them with some concern, and wanted to persuade them, but saw Wen Jianning shaking her head gently almost imperceptibly.

……

As soon as he left from Mr. Qi's side, Wen Baiqing took Liao Jingqiu to the Wen Mansion.

His trip to Shanghai was originally to solve Wen Jianning's affairs at one time, so peace talks with the Wen family were indispensable. However, they want to try to reach a mutually satisfactory outcome. The Wen family refused to let go.

But Wen Jianning's side, with the protection of the Feng family, Chen Hongwang and Wen Baiqing, they couldn't forcibly take him away, at most they could only destroy Wen Jianning's reputation in the newspaper, but they were also treated in the same way as others.

Things were at an impasse for a while.

I don't know how Wen Baiqing moved in it, and after a while, the Wen family sent a message and told Wen Jianning that if she wanted the Wen family to let her go, she had to repay the Wen family's expenses on her over the years, totaling 30,000 yuan.

This can be said to be an astronomical amount nowadays.

Wen Jianning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news: "Actually, it's okay like this." ”

In the eyes of the world, even if there are tens of thousands of Wen family members, she has inherited their favor to grow up. If you can really use money to completely write off this bad debt between her and the Wen family, it is also worth it.

Mr. Qi frowned: "Okay, that's 30,000 yuan, where can you get so much money." ”

Instead, Wen Jianning comforted her: "It's okay sir, I'll work hard to make money." ”

She still has a lot of savings in hand, and some time ago she made a fortune in the tabloids by fighting a lawsuit with the Wen family. Recently, I happened to sign a long contract with a newspaper. As long as she works hard in the next few years, saves money, and gets together with Wen Baiqing and them, if she doesn't encounter any major events within five years, she will definitely be able to save money and return it to the Wen family. Even if you have to owe debts, it is better to owe Wen Baiqing money than to have anything to do with the Wen family.

Mr. Qi was still worried: "Do you think that the Wen family will let you loose so easily and let you make up a little money, they just want to force you to take out this one at once." ”

Wen Jianning lowered his head and said, "This is also something that can't be helped, I'll try my best to make up for it." Even if they don't make up enough, with the current situation, they shouldn't be okay for a while. ”

Mr. Qi was noncommittal, sat next to him and thought quietly for a while, then got up and said, "You stay at home first, and I'll come back later." ”
