Hearing Wei Xiao’s statements, Wen Nian was quick to counter, “Don’t speak like that. Grandpa Wei is genuinely kind-hearted. Even though my grandfather saved him, he’s consistently shown gratitude by being exceptionally good to our family. Remember when you and your grandfather visited us?”

“Showing gratitude?” Wei Xiao acted as if he had heard a joke. “Wen Nian, why are you still so naive? Things aren’t as simple as they seem on the surface.”

As anticipated, Wei Xiao appeared to be acquainted with the underlying narrative, yet Wen Nian didn’t immediately question him about it.

It was evident that he harbored a strong bias against Wei Feng. In her previous life, Wei Feng had fallen victim to his grandson’s scheme and ended up paralyzed and hospitalized. The specifics of his ultimate fate remained unclear to Wen Nian, but it seemed to be less than favorable.

Wen Nian speculated that Wei Xiao might have uncovered Wei Feng’s secret, which might explain how he managed to ascend to the position of chairman of the Wei Corporation at such a young age.

“Don’t say that. Grandpa Wei is indeed good to our family, repaying our kindness. Moreover, during the last few years of my grandfather’s illness, Grandpa Wei often visited him,” Wen Nian’s expression turned somber, and her eyes welled up with tears. “But my family has mentioned that every time the two brothers meet, my grandfather’s health deteriorates. The doctors believe that my grandpa’s health was deteriorating because he can’t come to terms with his paralysis.”

Wen Nian was already quite beautiful, and her current pitiful appearance only enhanced her charm, causing Wei Xiao’s throat to tighten.

“Repay kindness? Haven’t you heard of repaying kindness with ingratitude? It’s not surprising that your grandfather’s health worsens after meeting him! Do you really think my grandpa…”

Suddenly, Wei Xiao stopped speaking and vigorously shook his head. He was startled by his own words and broke into a cold sweat.

Wen Nian’s heart was in turmoil. She folded her hands, and she could feel a slight trembling in her body. Fortunately, Wei Xiao had consumed some alcohol and didn’t notice any changes in her demeanor. He only saw her head hanging low.

Wen Nian appeared oblivious to any issue with his words. In fact, she responded with a hint of indignation, saying, “You’re just being too resentful. Grandpa Wei sent you abroad for your own benefit. He envisions you becoming independent and eventually taking over the Wei family. How can you harbor such thoughts about your grandfather?”

“Yes, yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have thought of him that way.”

Hearing Wen Nian’s words, Wei Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. This silly woman still looked brainless.

Had anyone else been present during their conversation, they would likely have sensed that something was amiss. Fortunately, Wen Nian was the only one present.

After the unsettling episode, Wei Xiao offered mere pleasantries for the rest of their meal. As they finished eating, the two of them left the restaurant.

However, Wei Xiao didn’t see Wen Nian off. His immediate task was to share all the information he had gathered with Wei Feng. He needed to regain his composure for that purpose.

Wen Nian didn’t say anything else. She left the restaurant and waved for a taxi.

Once inside the car, Wen Nian noticed Shen Jun already seated in the back row. She hurriedly took her place, careful to avoid Wei Xiao’s attention.

“Feeling guilty?” Shen Jun grasped her small hand and began to rub it. “Seems like Wei Xiao still holds some regrets. He’s still hurting, huh?”

As his grip tightened, Wen Nian playfully pinched his arm, prompting Shen Jun to ease his grip. Only then did Shen Jun not use so much strength.

“What do you think of what happened today? It looks like Wei Xiao knows the inside story,” Shen Jun asked.

Wen Nian widened her eyes at him, then looked at the driver.

Shen Jun laughed and said, “We’re on the same side.” Only then did Wen Nian feel relieved.

“He must be aware of something. Otherwise, his reaction wouldn’t have been so strong. Plus, he seems dissatisfied with Wei Feng. There might be more actions he’ll take later,” Shen Jun speculated.

With a touch of regret, Wen Nian sighed, “Unfortunately, I didn’t extract much from him today. It looks like I’ll need to try again.”

“Do you have a plan?” Shen Jun arched an eyebrow. Seeing her expression, he knew she was up to her mischievous antics again.

Cradling Shen Jun’s larger hand with both of hers, Wen Nian widened her innocent eyes and adopted a coquettish tone, saying, “1 do have a plan, but 1 might need to trouble you, my babe, to help me..”
