“I’m telling you, if something happens to Xiaolang’s hand, I will never let you go!“
When Luo Lingsheng heard the words, he finally opened his mouth to briefly summarize the facts.
“Mrs. Song, it was Wen Chenglang who cursed others first. After Yunnan and the others fought back, it was also Wen Chenglang who tried to smash him with a heavy metal object, and he was then subdued by my personal bodyguards who rushed here in time. “
“It’s just self-defense.”
Qin Jian nodded, “There are surveillance cameras in the corridor, so it’s clear at a glance. If Mrs. Song wants to go through legal procedures, the Luo family can hire a lawyer to defend Mr. Wen and Mr. Shi.“
Yuan Meng spoke up without the slightest fear, “Mrs. Song, I’m sorry, I used to serve in the military, so I used a lot of strength when handling people. Third young master Wen kept thrashing again and again, and then twisted his wrist by himself. It wasn’t my intention.“
When Shi Yunnan heard these words, he almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Yuan Meng had an honest face and didn’t look like someone who told lies.
As a result?
It was obvious that he saw Luo Lingsheng’s hint and moved his hand. At this moment, he was still able to pull out the “Wen Chenglang hurt himself” speech without blushing.
It could only be said that the subordinates brought out by Luo Lingsheng were all black hearted.
“I think the swear words that Wen Chenglang used on me were nothing more than saying that my legs are disabled and calling me a cripple?”
Luo Lingsheng made a guess with an expressionless face and aimed his gaze at the pair of mother and son on the ground nearby.
He turned his watch around and smiled indifferently, “Is that the case?”
“…….”
Wen Chenglang faced Luo Lingsheng’s majesty for the first time, and was so frightened that he couldn’t even make a sound of pain.
Song Zhiqiu was also stunned and didn’t answer his question. She had heard of Luo Lingsheng and knew that the other party hated those who mocked his legs the most. So far, none of them have had happy endings.
Standing at the back of the crowd, Wen Wanyou observed the situation, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes—
Dumbass! It’s not enough to provoke Shi Yunnan, but why involve Luo Lingsheng? Don’t you think it’s not shameful enough to make a fuss like this?
Wen Wanyou couldn’t wait to drive her mother and brother away, but her face was concerned: “Mom, you’d better hurry up and take your brother to the hospital for a check-up, so that you don’t miss the best treatment time.”
“Oh, no! Mom, take me to the hospital quickly. ” Wen Chenglang had a guilty conscience and promptly followed this reason.
No matter how angry Song Zhiqiu was, she couldn’t ignore her son’s call. She looked angrily at her husband, whose elbows were completely turned outward 1Elbow turning outward is a metaphor that means helping outsiders instead of your own people..
“I’ll take Xiao Lang to the hospital first, and we’ll talk afterwards about what’s going on!”
Wen Yanfeng’s brows were furrowed, and his heart was helpless.
After the mother and son, Song Zhiqiu and Wen Chenglang
left, Wen Yibei, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, “Grandpa, I know that after my mother passed away, the Wen family helped us two brothers a lot. Whether it’s me or Yunnan, we all remember this kindness. ”
“Today, it is impossible for us to stay in this house any longer.“
Wen Yibei held Shi Yunnan’s wrist and said, “We will come back to see you regularly, and you can always come to us if you want to in the future.”
When old man Wen heard this, he immediately showed reluctance, “Yibei?”
“Grandpa, you know the reason why I did this.
I’m sorry.“
Wen Yibei had made up his mind.
He knew better than anyone that Shi Yunnan wanted to completely break away from the Shi family and the Wen family from very early on.
The reason Shi Yunnan hadn’t cleanly broken off from the Wen family all these years was that he still missed his brother in the Wen family and didn’t want him to be caught in the middle.
Wen Yibei was aware of his own character. To put it nicely, he was gentle. To put it unpleasantly, he was indecisive.
But he knew very well that no matter how well the elders took care of him, it couldn’t equal Shi Yunnan’s weight as a younger brother.
The two of them had the same concern and dependence.
“Grandpa, take care. In the future, if you want, I will take you into my care. ”
Wen Yibei bowed deeply to the old man, resisting the reluctance in his heart and pulling Shi Yunnan away.
Shi Yunnan turned halfway and bowed quickly and respectfully, “Uncle, please take care of grandpa.”
After saying that, he gave Luo Lingsheng another look:
I will wait for you at the entrance of the hotel.
Luo Lingsheng nodded slightly.
Shi Yunnan hooked his lips at their tacit understanding before following Wen Yibei and leaving without a second thought.
Old man Wen stood at the same spot for a long time before he let out a sigh. He was reluctant, but he didn’t force them to stay—
He knew that sooner or later, such a day would come.
But as long as the two brothers can support each other and live well in the future, the Wen family, which was messed up by Song Zhiqiu’s mother and son, doesn’t matter.
Fearing that Song Zhiqiu’s mother and son would cause trouble, Luo Lingsheng told Qin Jian to make a copy of the corridor surveillance video. The latter received the instruction and rushed to handle it immediately.
After such a sudden mess, the rest of the dinner party was unnecessary.
Luo Lingsheng nodded slightly to old man Wen and was about to push the wheelchair away,
when he heard the latter shout in a low voice, “Mr. Luo, please wait.”
“There are some things I want to talk to you about alone.”
Luo Ling Sheng’s face changed slightly as he met old man Wen’s inquiring gaze and finally nodded.
…
Three minutes later,
Yuan Meng stood outside and closed the door, leaving the private room to Luo Lingsheng and old man Wen.
Luo Lingsheng suppressed the nervous fluctuations in his heart, “Sir, you are Yunnan’s grandfather, and to a certain extent, I am also your junior, so you might as well speak up if there is anything.”
Hearing this, old man Wen nodded slightly and said, “Mr. Luo, I’ve secretly inquired that it was the old thing of the Shi family that had no conscience and wanted to exchange Yunnan’s happiness for a business union.”
When talking about this matter, old man Wen didn’t conceal his hatred for the Shi family.
He paused and continued, “I just want to know, are you and Yunnan serious, or are you just acting out?”
Luo Lingsheng was silent for two or three seconds, then said, “We’re serious.”
Whether Shi Yunnan was fooling around or he had other unspeakable goals, Luo Lingsheng had always been serious.
Old man Wen looked into his eyes, and couldn’t find any lies or fluctuation. He felt a little relieved, “That’s good.”
“Yunnan has suffered a lot since childhood. As his grandfather, I have no way to take good care of him, and now I naturally have no right to decide on his marriage. ”
“Yunnan has always cared about you. If you have any opinion about me, you might as well be frank about it. “
Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to mention it.
He could see that old man
Wen’s attitude towards him was a little cold and scrutinizing.
“Mr. Luo can have current power and status at such a young age; externally, I believe you have the capital to care for Yunnan, but privately, I do not.”
Old man Wen looked at Luo Lingsheng’s legs and hesitated, “Mr. Luo, can you take care of him?”
“If something like today happens again, and if your bodyguard is not around, can you protect Yunnan at critical moments?”
“…..”
Luo Lingsheng lowered his eyes to look at his legs, and for the first time, he understood the meaning of being powerless.
“I know that a marriage requires two people to complement each other and take care of each other, but please forgive my selfishness as a grandfather. I hope that Yunnan can be the one who is favored and taken care of more. ”
What he couldn’t do as an elder, he could only hope that Shi Yunnan’s other half could.
Old man Wen did not have an opinion on Luo Lingsheng, nor did he force them to break up.
He was just worried that, given Luo Lingsheng’s physical condition, Shi Yunnan was the one who had to take more care of him in this relationship.
“Mr. Wen, I understand what you mean.” Luo Lingsheng replied in a low voice, “I know my physical condition, so I never thought of tying him for life. If Yunnan wants to leave, I will cooperate at any time. ”
Old man Wen shook his head, “You’re wrong. Rather than asking you guys to go separate ways, I hope you can really support each other to the end. “
He had already lived so long, and for the rest of his life, he didn’t ask for much.
He just hoped that the brothers, Wen Yibei and Shi Yunnan, could find their loved ones and live a stable life.
Old man Wen took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Luo Lingsheng, saying, “Mr. Luo, I’ll just trouble you with one thing. Keep this card for Yunnan.“
Luo Lingsheng took it half-heartedly.
“My daughter-in-law is a strong and profit-oriented person. She’s afraid that the two brothers will take away the property in my hand, but in fact, whether it is Yibei or Yunnan, they don’t care about this money at all.““
But even if they don’t want it, as a grandfather, I must keep it for them!“
Mr. Wen patted the back of Luo Lingsheng’s hand and said sincerely, “This savings in my hand should be nothing compared to the Luo family, but this is the best I can give.”
Old man Wen evenly distributed the bulk of his savings to his two grandchildren. The money in this bank card belonged to Shi Yunnan.
“Please accept it for Yunnan. If there is any difficulty in the future, this money should be able to help him. ”
“Luo…”
Old man Wen retreated half a step back and actually took the initiative to bow to Luo Lingsheng, “Luo Lingsheng, please treat my little grandson well.”
“Even if one day you do get tired of each other, please don’t blame him and give him a free life.“
In any case, don’t let him repeat his mother’s unhappy marriage in this life.
Luo Lingsheng was moved, “Mr. Wen, in fact, you can directly give this card to Yunnan.”
“I know this child’s temper. If I hand it over to him, he will definitely not accept it. ”
Old man Wen shook his head and instructed again, “Please keep it first and give it to him one day.”
Old Wen thought he had a fairly good eye for people. Someone like Luo Lingsheng, who had fought his way through power, would never covet this saving of his.
The chat between the two lasted less than five minutes and ended.
Luo Lingsheng watched old man Wen leave at a slow pace. He remembered what the old man told him and felt very complicated.
Luo Lingsheng caressed his leg unconsciously, and his mind was full of the painful rehabilitation of the past two or three years.
“Patriarch?”
Yuan Meng stood at the door, reminding him aloud.
Luo Lingsheng returned to his senses and was about to control the wheelchair to leave, but a figure suddenly appeared at the door.
The visitor shouted with unconcealed nervousness, “Mr. Luo, I want to talk to you.”
Reading about Granda Wen, I just wanna copy all those empresses in palace dramas/novels and shout “Presumptious!” He’s an able-bodied adult (or he was 20 years ago), did he protect Shi Yunnan? He couldn’t even keep in line his own daughter-in-law, what right does he have to lecture the man who was able to control a larger and deadlier group of relatives while fighting his disability? Disappointing, really.
Thank you for the translation 💕
Thank you for saving me the effort of typing that out… You even put it way more courteously than I ever would. Because the moment grandpa started acting like a concerned elder ‘worrying’ about how well ML can protect MC because of his legs, I wanted to yeet something at him. He never did anything worthwhile to protect MC when MC needed it the most (as a child) and now he has the audacity to say sh*t like that??? Haha ridiculous.😒
Haha, yup. I was thinking that since the twins already moved out, then this ‘talk’ is deemed moot already. Won’t lie, I was kinda surprised that they still had the ‘talk’.
Truly tho, it’s just like the emperors in palace dramas who only enjoyed their innumerable concubines and simply dealt with their infighting according to his favor and mood, hence the multitude of crimes including killing children or the ones still in the belly.
👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏 I couldn’t write that better – about that “charity worrying”, how both elder (and husband too!) couldn’t temper that greedy bish and her sonny… I was thinking that they wanted to use twin brothers as a tool to “sharpen” their wen successors, but it didn’t work. “I love SY, but I couldn’t help him”- save your salvia old man. I’m not buying this ‘I’m so helpless after all the years that passed’ bullsh!t. There’s no medicine for regret.
Agreed 100x. He judges ML but he hasn’t done anything to protect his own grandchildren.
LOUDER👏👏👏👏
Hahahahaha why did i find it funny when the text ssay Lou Lingsheng feels a flactuate of nervousness hahahah😂😂😂😂
I believe patriarch can protect shi yunnan even with his physical condition. Thank you so much for the update ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the chapter!
What on earth… that weak and hypocritical old man!
Ha you did nothing when you had the chance to protect NanNan and NOW that he has someone in his corner, you want to act all high and mighty?
With no due respect, kindly eff off
I don’t doubt that lou patriarch can protect SYN but I also don’t doubt that SYN can protect himself as well as protecting his little family of three.
So Wen Yibei knew that his brother was putting up with all this for his own good, so that they wouldn’t make life impossible for him in Wen’s house, but with everything and that, he never made up his mind to go with his brother and fully support him??? And now when your brother has fallen and you don’t need him anymore, do you want to come support him? I don’t see the point…
Grandpa is also a hypocrite…
Well, he does understand that he’s indecisive… but also in Yibei’s defense, studying music requires money, and to not be trampled on by others in his early career, he did need the connection and protection of the Wen family. Music industry is no easy path to tread with just talent alone. He probably also couldn’t give up on cello bc he knew it would hurt Yunnan more than it would him. Even though he went to Curtis, which has full scholarship for all students, he still needed the living cost etc, especially bc he couldn’t freely get a part time job like Yunnan. And idk if you’ve noticed, but family ties in Asian household is far harder to cut off than in western society. They value blood very much and they are bound to be filial to their elders. That’s why Yibei could only walk away when he’s already had firm footing in the music industry and didn’t need the protection of the Wen family name anymore, and when he had the firm justification to cut off ties with the family. And that’s also why Yunnan was still forced to go back to Shi family in the first place, even after years of neglect. It’s frustrating, I know, but it is what it is…
Right. It is not you are genius and everyone will be charitable enough to support you their whole life! Lol. Most are eager to crush you early if you are a genius without support. Most comments are so childish and screamed naive to me. You are the most realistic. Probably we are of the same or close age in RL. Wen Yibei really is indecisive. That is because when he tried to build name for himself and planned for Yunnan, he did foster good feeling for grandpa Wen. It is inevitable for a people that know “gratitude” to try to return it in a way. That is why Yunnan also never blamed him. Now Yibei had established himself in music world, had bought houses for him and his brother and Wen Chenglang brought forth the inevitable and he choose to leave. For me him and Yunnan is very matured. That is why I love him, when he know it is time to make a clean break, he is decisive. Because he is growing older and his talents become too more prominent. His “qualities of a heir” is unnecessary for Wen family peace. And I also loved grandpa Wen talks with Lingsheng. All because he doesn’t want Yunnan to be unhappy, after Wen Min’s husband failed her and Yunnan, it is only right for him to have that talk. Even if Lingsheng is already the most intimate or knows more than him, as grandpa, he NEEDS to have that talk. For Wen family, it can be seen the education there are good. Wen Yanfeng is a good child with flaw being indecisive over control of children education, Wen Xiu is a good child that never flamed the family conflict and having good life outside with her family but still connects with family events, and Wen Min is a good child that perhaps too good they didn’t know any better option of “divorce”. It was impossible for big family to be full of all saints after all. Just look at Luo Lingsheng’s grandparents and parents end. Wen family is so much better because the heir is settled early on. It was the closeness of parentless grandchildren with the family head that gave birth to the same conflict seed like in Luo family (the family head closeness with his youngest son). What the twins did is for the big family sake. It is what it is and it is really inevitable. Life isn’t a beautifully drawn fairytale without other human desires except the main roles’ 🤷♀️.
I have to say that I like old Mr. Wen, so I’m sad about Wen family matters :< But in the same time he also did a terrible job as a grandfather and 'head' of the family
Thank You for the chapter (๑ơ ₃ ơ)♥
I’m not really a fan of all these ‘I’ll protect you or I’ll protect your son/daughter’s statement ‘ because can you really be with your partner all the time? Are you a magician that you’ll know when your partner is in danger and fly to them?
To me, the protection that they mention is not all about physical but more about other types of protection.
So, the grandpa insinuating that Luo can’t protect SY because he’s disabled is so low and offensive. What happens to a bodyguard? Bodyguard can be with SY all the time if he’s employed but can SY be with him all the time enough to ‘protect’ him? Moreover, Luo has done more to SY than the ‘abled’ grandpa has done to him in a long time. Not everything is about ‘protection.’ Luo is good to SY and provide things to him.
The whole grandpa acting protective and nicely whatever doesn’t move me because he’s been spineless all these years for SY.
Esse velho Wen nunca cuifou do menino e quer fazer graca com o ml! Por favor meu senhor se ponha no seu lugar
i cant really hate old wen or the uncle tbh, legally it seems that gramps hands were pretty tied when it came to sy, and they do seem to be willing to push back
like there was definitely more that they could of or should have done, but…that brother is also old wens grandkid, and the uncles child
