My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.
Chapter 23 The Wen Family
Wen's mother, Ni Huifang, gently patted her husband's back, signaling him not to get so agitated.
She then looked at her son and asked, "Shiyan, you and Yichen are quite close. Do you know about his marriage?"
Wen Shiyan, the eldest son of the Wen family, grew up with Pei Yichen and the two were good brothers.
He put down his coffee cup and shook his head. "As far as I know, he has never been able to let go of Qinghe all these years. That's why he hasn't had a woman by his side all these years."
Every time Ni Huifang talks about her daughter who died in an accident years ago, her eyes well up with tears. "Sigh, I miss Qinghe so much. If your father and I hadn't been so busy with work back then, we wouldn't have lost her..."
Wen Cheng'an looked at Wen Luoyao, who was walking down the spiral staircase from the second floor, then coughed lightly and said softly, "Alright, if Luoyao hears you always thinking about Qinghe, she'll get jealous again..."
To alleviate their grief over the loss of their daughter, they adopted a little girl from an orphanage, who is now the Wen family's daughter, Wen Luoyao.
When Wen Luoyao was first adopted, she was very timid and insecure.
After being nurtured with love by the Wen family, the little girl gradually became lively and cheerful. She had a sweet tongue, which made the Wen family wish they could pluck the stars from the sky for her.
Wen Luoyao walked over, her platform sandals clicking on the floor. "Mom, what's wrong? Are you missing your sister again?"
She wore a light green cropped top that revealed her fair and slender waist, paired with a black mini skirt.
Her long, curly hair, like seaweed, was casually draped over her shoulders.
Ni Huifang turned her head and took a tissue to wipe her tear-filled eyes. "No, it's nothing..."
Wen Luoyao walked straight to Ni Huifang's side and sat down, pouting and saying coquettishly, "Mom, all you ever think about is my sister. My brother and I combined can't compare to her status in your heart..."
"Then my brother and I will be very sad..." she said, then looked at Wen Shiyan, "Won't we, brother?"
Wen Shiyan, a doting brother, chimed in, "Yes, Mom, the dead can't be brought back to life. Qinghe certainly wouldn't want to see you constantly wallowing in pain..."
Ni Huifang nodded, looking at Wen Luoyao with relief, "Yes, thankfully, heaven sent Yaoyao to our family..."
Over the years, Wen Luoyao has been the joy of their family.
It lessened much of the pain of losing Wen Qinghe.
Wen Luoyao picked up a sandwich and said while eating, "By the way, Dad, Mom, brother, I'm going to start working at Boyu Group."
Everyone's expression changed drastically. "What?"
Wen Luoyao tilted her head, looking at them with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? I want to spend more time with Brother Yichen. He's so busy with work, it's always so hard for me to ask him out for a meal."
Wen Shiyan coughed lightly. "Yaoyao, Yichen is only focused on his work; he has no interest in romance. I think you should stop liking him, and we'll find you a better marriage partner..."
Ni Huifang nodded and said, "Yes, Yaoyao, I think Yichen is very cold-hearted and doesn't know how to care for people at all..."
Wen Luoyao suddenly lost her appetite for the sandwich in her mouth. She pouted and said unhappily, "You guys were telling me just a couple of days ago to spend more time with Brother Yichen to build a relationship, how come you've changed your tune today?"
Seeing that the three of them looked a little off, he asked again, "Something's not right. Are you hiding something from me?"
The three exchanged glances, and finally Wen Cheng'an spoke up, "It's like this, I heard Yi Chen got married, to a girl from an ordinary family..."
Wen Luoyao dropped the sandwich in her hand onto the plate, looking utterly astonished. "How is this possible? How could Brother Yichen suddenly get married? His fiancée is clearly me..."
She had been following Pei Yichen around for many years and had never seen another woman by his side.
Even if one or two tried to pounce on her, she chased them away.
Everyone in the elite circles knows that the Wen family and the Pei family have a long-standing marriage agreement. If Pei Yichen wants to get married, his marriage partner will definitely be her.
Now they're telling her that someone else has stolen Mrs. Pei's identity?
Or was she just a girl from an ordinary family?
She can't accept it!
Wen Luoyao grabbed Wen Shiyan's sleeve and shook it, saying, "Brother, tell me this isn't true?"
Looking at his younger sister's usually lively and bright face, now looking so aggrieved and on the verge of tears, Wen Shiyan felt a pang of heartache. "I don't know what happened either. I haven't contacted him for a while..."
Wen Luoyao could no longer hold back and buried her face in Wen Shiyan's chest, sobbing, "Waaah... I will never marry anyone but Brother Yichen in this life..."
Wen Cheng'an was most afraid of his precious daughter crying, so he quickly said, "Alright, alright, don't cry. I'll call your Uncle Pei right now and ask what happened..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Luoyao finally raised her head, barely managing to stop crying, and waited for him to call her with teary eyes.
Wen Chengan's call was answered shortly after it was dialed.
"Cheng'an, why are you calling me so early in the morning? Are you asking me to go fishing again?"
Wen Cheng'an said irritably, "Do you think everyone has as much free time as you, with a capable son who manages the company perfectly for you? No wonder Yao Yao always comes home complaining that she can never get a date with Yi Chen because he's too busy with work."
"You should at least help Yichen out a bit, and let the two kids date too."
Pei Yichen's marriage was not made public. Asking about it directly would reveal that you have a spy in the Pei family.
This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other party's part.
Therefore, Wen Chengan could only indirectly bring the two of them together.
Pei Zhengping paused for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "Sigh, I'm getting old, it's time for me to retire and enjoy life. It's the young people's world now. As for Yichen, he's completely focused on his work, ruthless and unambitious, there's nothing I can do about him..."
Wen Cheng'an glanced at his daughter, whose nose was red from crying, and said, "I think the two children are of marriageable age, and it's time for them to fulfill their engagement and get married. Didn't you say you envied Old Li for having a grandson? We can have them have a few more for you to hold and play with..."
"Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; let the young people handle their own affairs. Our opinions don't matter anyway..."
Wen Cheng'an's voice suddenly became anxious, "Old Pei, the marriage agreement between our two families was made many years ago, how can it not count?"
"Yichen believes that Qinghe is the one he is engaged to, not Luoyao. So he doesn't want to acknowledge the engagement anymore." Pei Zhengping, not wanting to strain relations between the two families, sighed and frankly said, "He found a strange woman and got married a few days ago. I really can't do anything about it."
