When the group arrived at Wenjia Fort, they found that Min Jiageng had escaped and were looking for him everywhere. Wen Wenxin came in to report the news. Mrs. Wen was surprised and happy when she heard that her late husband's fellow junior brother had arrived, and hurried out to greet him, putting aside Min Jiageng's matters for the time being.
Li Hongsheng introduced Mrs. Wen. Five of these nine people are top-notch masters in the martial arts world. In addition to brothers Li Hongsheng and Li Hongming, there are also Wei Congshan of the Tai Chi Sect, Gao Yuliang of the Shaolin Sect, and Li Yun of the Juteng Group. Wei Congshan and Li Yun have long been famous in the world. Gao Yuliang is younger, but seeing that his eyes are bright, his hands are as dry as dead wood, and his fingers are strong, he must be a good hand from his wife's family. The other three were Mr. Wu's personal followers. The old man who was beaten by Wen Wenxin was named He. Everyone called him Manager He, so he was a powerful figure under Mr. Wu. As for Mr. Wu's identity, Li Hongsheng didn't mention a word.
The Li brothers asked about the cause of Wen Hongwei's death. Mrs. Wen was extremely arrogant and refused to say that Min Enchou killed her. She only said that she died of illness. She is determined to kill her enemies with her son and mother, and will never take revenge by taking revenge on others.
Seeing Mrs. Wen, Wen Wenxin and others talking to each other, Yue Qing returned to the room and told his father what he had just seen. Yue Sheng was surprised when he heard that the child was actually the son of King Min Dao, but he was dubious when he heard that this little child's martial arts skills were better than Wen Wenxin's. Zhou Yinbing listened silently, his face turning green and red, but he didn't interrupt.
The father and daughter talked for a while, and Yue Qing returned to his room. Zhou Yinbing followed and shouted: "Qingqing!" Yue Qing's face turned red and asked: "What are you doing?" Seeing her face as bright as morning glow, Zhou Yinbing felt moved, suppressed what he was about to ask, and reached out to hold her hand. Yue Qing threw his hand off and said angrily: "How can I be embarrassed if others see it?" Zhou Yinbing finally lost his temper and said angrily: "Humph, I'm sorry! You went out to fool around with that boy named Wen in the middle of the night. What did you do?" Yue Qing was startled and asked angrily, "What did you mean by saying that?" Zhou Yinbing said, "What did you mean by going out with that kid? That's what I meant by saying that."
He had always been considerate to his adopted sister, but when he saw her come back from the outside with Wen Wenxin this morning, and heard her narration, and met Min Jiageng outside in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but be jealous. Who would have thought that she was afraid of her father's reproach, so she hid her request for Wen Wenxin to release Min Jiageng. That night, Yue Sheng heard the exchange between Mrs. Wen and her son through the window, and learned that Wen Wenxin was interested in his daughter. He also said that the two of them had an affair and met in the middle of the night. Zhou Yinbing was not around and could not ask further questions. But when Zhou Yinbing heard this, he felt sour in his heart. He was reckless by nature, and now his adopted sister had become his unmarried wife, so he couldn't help asking stern questions.
Yue Qing had a clear conscience. His sworn brother had always been submissive and tolerant to him, but he didn't expect that just yesterday his father had promised him a life-long marriage, and he would become so domineering. After they became a couple in the future, wouldn't they be bullied by him all day long? Originally, she only had to tell her directly about this matter, but once Zhou Yinbing understood it, he had nothing to say. But she refused to say anything out of anger, and said angrily: "I can secretly go out with whomever I want! Do you care?"
A person is jealous and irrational. Zhou Yinbing's face turned red and his neck became thick. He said loudly: "I couldn't control it before, but now I can." Yue Qing was so angry that she shed tears and said, "Now that you are like this, do you still expect you to treat me well in the future?" Zhou Yinbing felt soft when he saw her crying, but when he thought about her late-night tryst with Wen Wenxin, how could he swallow it in one breath? He said loudly: "What are you doing out there? Say it! Say it!" Yue Qing thought to himself: "The more arrogant you are, the less I will say anything."
At this moment, Wen Wenxin, on the order of his mother, came over to invite Yue Sheng to meet the Li brothers and others. He saw Zhou Yinbing and Yue Qing arguing loudly in the corridor and couldn't help but stop. Zhou Yinbing was already angry and wanted to slap his fiancée on the ear, but he didn't dare. Seeing Wen Wenxin coming over, he got what he wanted and cursed: "I'll beat you, you son of a bitch!" He rushed forward and punched her. Wen Wenxin gave way and asked in shock: "What are you doing?" Zhou Yinbing followed up with another punch. Wen Wenxin didn't have time to get out of the way, so he punched him in the chest. When he hit the third punch, he palmed back. The two started fighting in the corridor.
Yue Qing was filled with resentment and anger, and ignored the fight between the two of them. He turned around and walked away. She went back to her room and cried. The nanny came to call for dinner, but she ignored her and fell asleep in a daze.
It was already evening when I woke up. I walked to the back garden and sat on a stone bench in a daze. I just thought: "Am I just going to give my whole life to this unreasonable person? My father is still around, but he is so cruel to me. I wonder what he will do to me in the future?" I couldn't help but shed tears.
I don't know how long I sat there when I suddenly heard the sound of a flute coming from outside the flowers. Yue Qing was feeling uncomfortable, but the sound of the flute was like someone comforting him softly, talking in a whisper. Hearing it, he felt sad and happy at the same time, and he couldn't help but feel as if he was drunk. The sound of the flute was as gentle as the spring breeze, hugging her whole body warmly. She stood up and walked out of the flowers. She saw a man in a blue windbreaker sitting beside the crabapple flowers, holding a jade flute and playing. His hands were as white as jade, indistinguishable from the color of the jade flute. He was Mr. Wu whom she met in the morning.
Mr. Wu nodded with a smile and motioned for her to come over, but the flute sound continued. There was a majesty and gravity in his expression that made people irresistible. Yue Qing approached slowly with a blushing face, but when he heard the lingering and melodious sound of the flute, and every word of love, he couldn't help but feel excited. Yue Qing picked a flower from the rose bush beside him, put it to his nose and smelled it. The flute was playing and the flowers were fragrant, and the sun was setting at dusk. In front of her was such a handsome and elegant man. The look in his eyes was soft and noble. She had never seen such a man in her life.
She suddenly thought of Zhou Yinbing. He was so rude and jealous. Compared with the noble Mr. Wu in front of her, one was in the sky and the other was in the mud. So she looked at Mr. Wu with tender eyes. She didn't want to ask who he was or what he asked her to do. She just felt that standing in front of him was an indescribable joy. It was also good to just be close to him for a while.
Mr. Wu didn't seem to seduce her, it was just her girlish fantasy and ignorance that inspired this passion in the spring dusk. Actually not. If Mr. Wu hadn't seen her beauty, he would never have come to Wenjiabao to stay. How could his bodyguard, a senior who had been dead for many years, be able to succumb to his influence? If he hadn't been informed that she was alone in the garden, he would never have played the flute outside the flowers. Mr. Wu's flute playing was one of the best in the Vikings. Even top politicians would rarely listen to him play a piece of music.
The expression on his face showed tender admiration, and his eyes revealed fervent affection. No need to say a word, but it was better than a thousand words of tenderness, deep love, and a thousand words of eternal love. Mr. Wu put down the jade flute and stretched out his hand to hug her slim waist. Yue Qing shyly avoided it, and only gave in slightly the second time.
When he reached out for the third time, she was already intoxicated by the masculine scent emanating from him. The setting sun illuminates the branches and leaves of the roses and scatters them on the ground, turning them into mottled shadows. Next to the flower shadow, the shadows of a handsome middle-aged man and a shy girl gradually leaned together. The sun was setting, and the shadows became very long, slanted, and ugly.
Alas, the passion between men and women is not necessarily beautiful sometimes.
Yue Qing was already intoxicated and no longer thought of anything else. He did not expect what consequences it would have, nor did he expect anyone to break into the garden. Mr. Wu had already thought of it before entering the garden. Therefore, he sent Wei Congshan to talk to Yue Sheng, sent the Li brothers to talk to the Wen family's mother and son, sent Gao Yuliang to stabilize Zhou Yinbing, and sent Li Yun to guard the garden gate, and no one was allowed in.
So no one came in.
The daughter of Yue Sheng, the owner of Haian Logistics Company, became someone else's mistress the day after her father betrothed her to her for life.
That night Wenjiabao held a grand banquet in honor of Mr. Wu. There were all martial arts people in the room, and there was no need to differentiate between men and women, so Mrs. Wen and Yue Qing both sat at the table with everyone. Yue Sheng met Mr. Li of Wanlan Logistics Group back then, and the Li brothers also knew Yue Sheng's name and had some respect for him.
Yue Qing's face was flushed, his eyebrows were rosy, he lowered his head and didn't look at anyone. Others only thought that she was a shy girl, but in fact her heart was full of tenderness and sweetness. She did not avoid Zhou Yinbing's eyes, nor did she avoid Wen Wenxin's eyes. However, when the two people's eyes met hers, they couldn't tell what was on her mind at all. They are all thinking: "What does she think of me?"
There was a smile on her lips, but it wasn't for him. She saw them, but didn't see them at all. She was just thinking about the happiness and sweetness just now. Mr. Wu often glanced at her, but she never dared to look back, because she knew very well that as long as she looked back at him, her eyes would be locked together and they would never be separated again.
