Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 141 Gu Yanci, how do you plan to threaten me?

Wen Yan received a call from Wen Yonghai, who told her he had good news. Since Wen Yan didn't want to return to the Wen family villa, Wen Yonghai came to find her in person.

Wen Yan had something she wanted to ask him, so she agreed to meet him at the coffee shop.

"I've never seen a father and daughter meet in a coffee shop!" Wen Yonghai muttered discontentedly, handing the scarlet invitation to Wen Yan. "This is Mu Zhi's engagement invitation to the second young master of the He family. It's at the end of the month."

"Dad, given my relationship with her, do you think I would go?" Wen Yan didn't hide the mockery in her eyes.

"Are you still angry with your sister? She just acted impulsively. Dad has already criticized her. We're family, so let's not be so formal, right?"

It's laughable that Wen Muzhi's desire to kill her was so easily dismissed as a momentary impulse!

Ignoring Wen Yan's attitude, Wen Yonghai directly ordered, "Prepare a gift then, don't embarrass the family. It wasn't easy for your father to raise you."

“Dad, I met a Chinese man abroad a few days ago,” Wen Yan suddenly changed the subject, observing Wen Yonghai’s expression as she spoke, “His name is Daniel.”

When he uttered the name, Wen Yonghai's feigned gentleness suddenly turned cold, revealing a hint of ferocity, and his fingers tightened around the coffee cup.

Wen Yan unconsciously sat up straight: "Dad, do you know this person?"

"do not know!"

Wen Yonghai stood up with a cold face, his reaction excessive. "Wen Yan, bring a gift and Gu Yanci to your sister's engagement party at the end of the month! Don't forget, after you lost your mother, I raised you! I'm your father, I gave birth to you and raised you, so you have to listen to me!"

After saying that, he angrily turned around and left.

Wen Yan remained seated and, through the floor-to-ceiling window, saw Wen Yonghai, who had appeared on the first floor, kick a roadside trash can hard.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing Wen Yan in its warmth, yet she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her entire body chilled.

Wen Yonghai's reaction was clearly an expression of impotent rage after someone had touched a sore spot!

It seems that the mother and Daniel do indeed have an unusual relationship!

When Gu Yanci returned home from the company, he found the place empty and immediately called Wen Yan.

"I want to stay with Bei Qing at the hospital."

After Wen Yan finished speaking, Luo Beiqing, who was on the hospital bed, glanced at her.

"How many days are you planning to stay?" Gu Yanci asked, looking at the empty room.

"do not know."

"Wen Yan, are you planning to avoid me this way?" Gu Yanci asked, suppressing his emotions.

Wen Yan was silent for two seconds, then asked, "If I say yes, what are you planning to use to threaten me?"

The man's breath hitched.

He once threatened her with the chance to save Wen Junming.

He also threatened her with the fact that he had saved her life.

Now, they can also use the bodyguards protecting Luo Beiqing outside the door to threaten her.

However, Gu Yanci had a premonition that if he really threatened her to go home with his bodyguard and to stay with him, then their relationship would probably really be over.

"Beep-beep-"

The man hung up the phone in silence.

"Yan Yan?" Luo Beiqing asked worriedly when he saw Wen Yan staring blankly at her phone.

"I'm fine." Wen Yan smiled. "You're pregnant now, don't worry about things unnecessarily."

Luo Beiqing glanced outside the ward and said, "Since you want a divorce, then let Gu Yanci remove the person. We don't owe him anything."

"It's not a big deal." Wen Yan walked over and touched Luo Beiqing's belly. "We can't let messy people and things affect our little baby's growth, right?"

Gu Yanci is right. The bodyguards she hired would probably only be able to fight the He family's bodyguards in the hospital.

She herself could suffer injustice, but Luo Beiqing could not, especially since Luo Beiqing was currently pregnant.

Luo Beiqing held Wen Yan's hand, feeling extremely sorry for her at that moment.

Actually, the best solution would be for her to go abroad directly to a place where He Tingchuan couldn't find a place to have her pregnancy and live. However, the Luo family that her parents left her was still in the capital. If she left, she would probably be devoured by those relatives and left with only a desolate wasteland.

-

The final of the International University Debate Competition has arrived as scheduled.

The campus was bustling with people, and student council members were maintaining order outside the competition venue, checking tickets one by one.

Luo Beiqing happened to be discharged from the hospital that day, so he and Gu Jinzhi went to the Imperial University to watch the game.

"Your brother didn't come?" Luo Beiqing glanced around and, not seeing Gu Yanci, asked Gu Jinzhi directly.

Gu Jinzhi, who was swaying her head and drinking milk tea just a second ago, widened her eyes and looked at Luo Beiqing in shock: "How did you know... how did you know my brother was coming?"

"During the mating season, male peacocks will not easily let go of the opportunity to display their plumage."

"..."

Why describe her third brother like that?

That's so vivid!

Luo Beiqing asked, "Where is he?"

Gu Jinzhi said, "Third Brother added sponsorship to the event at the last minute, making him a special guest, and he won't be with us."

"..." Luo Beiqing gave a thumbs up, "Those who paid money just can't afford it!"

Backstage.

Wen Yan sat quietly in the corner, looking at the documents she had organized, but she was clearly somewhat distracted.

Jiang Huaixu handed her a glass of warm water and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Wen Yan was surprised that Jiang Huaixu had such sharp eyes, he could see through this.

Just then, a commotion arose:

"The European team is here!"

"That really pretty girl, isn't she some kind of amazing guy named Nan something?"

"Nan Zhiyi!"

Before the words were finished, the sound of high heels grew closer and closer.

The girl, with long, curly hair reaching her waist and delicate, bright features, walked in surrounded by admirers, head held high and chest out, showing no sign of awkwardness in someone else's territory.

She looked around and spotted Wen Yan at a glance, then jogged over in her high heels.

"Miss Wen, we meet again!" she said happily.

"Miss Nan." Wen Yan's reaction was much calmer. After a pause, she asked, "Did any family members accompany you?"

“Of course! Whenever I participate in a competition, Mommy will accompany me!” Nan Zhiyi said, then looked somewhat troubled. “However, she doesn’t seem to like the capital city very much, saying that she has bad memories of it.”

Wen Yan's expression instantly turned ugly.

Bad memories?

What matter... or who is it referring to?

"Yan Yan." Jiang Huaixu gently placed his hand on Wen Yan's shoulder.

The gentle palm strike brought Wen Yan back to her senses. She turned her head and met Jiang Huaixu's firm yet tender gaze, as if he could accept all her bad emotions.

Jiang Huaixu reminded him: "Get ready to go on stage soon."

Wen Yan nodded, no longer looking at Nan Zhiyi, and walked to the side to have a final conversation with her teammates.

After Wen Yan left, Nan Zhiyi looked at Jiang Huaixu with curiosity, her big eyes commanding and frank.

Jiang Huaixu calmly looked back at the past, his seemingly gentle gaze actually devoid of emotion.

"You like Wen Yan?" Nan Zhiyi asked directly, her eyes smiling as if she were asking gossip in good fun.

Jiang Huaixu showed no emotional fluctuation and asked in return, "You hate Wen Yan?"
