"Elder Sister-in-Law, when we work outside, how can we be as dedicated as if it were for our own family The Wen Corporation is so large. When Zhanpeng and Xiuyi returned, they could help Big Brother ease his burden too. It's better to trust us than outsiders, don't you think, Elder Sister-in-Law" Uncle Wen said with a flattering smile.

Wenman couldn't help but burst out laughing; it was amusing that they would actually say something like this.

Mother Wen frowned. "The Wen Corporation has my husband to take care of it, and there's no need for you people. As I've said before, I disagree. Even if my husband agrees, I still won't agree. You should leave."

They weren’t satisfied with just having a job; they wanted to come back and take over what belonged to their family’s home. Dream on!

"Auntie," Wenmei said.

Mother Wen sneered but didn’t say anything.

"Big Brother, the Wen Corporation is so big; someone has to inherit your position one day. You praised Zhanpeng's working ability before, and Manman isn't interested in business and joined the entertainment industry. Wenjing’s still too young. Just let Zhanpeng help you properly." Uncle Wen said.

Father Wen frowned and looked at his brother with disappointment.

They wanted to take over the whole Wen Corporation just because of it. Even though he knew their intentions, hearing them say it out loud really hurt him emotionally.

Mother Wen was trembling with rage. "The Wen Corporation is the fruit of my husband’s and my hard work; we'll leave it to Manman and Wenjing in the future. No one else can get a single cent from it. Even if Manman and Wenjing don't know anything about business, they could ruin or give away the whole corporation, but that would be their own problem. It has nothing to do with you people. You won’t be able to snatch our hard work away from us."

"Elder Sister-in-Law, no, it's not what we meant…" Uncle Wen wiped his sweat.

Zhanpeng couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Auntie! How can you be so selfish Manman and Wenjing are girls; after they get married, the company will belong to someone else. We’re the real members of the Wen family!"

He was the only male descendant in the Wen family, and it had always been assumed that this company would eventually be his.

This was an unspoken understanding among everyone.

But no one expected that Mr. Wen would suffer a setback, completely altering everything.

Mrs. Wen stood up, her long-cultivated aura causing even the usually confident Wen Zhanpeng to feel somewhat intimidated; Mrs. Wen said sternly, "Please understand this: you are outsiders to me; my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are family. Do you get it"

"Auntie!"

"Big Sister!"

...

"You guys are so noisy! Just leave already or else we won't be able to go out on a weekend, okay!" Wen Jing threw her cup to the ground with a loud crash, startling everyone.

Wen Ran smiled lightly. This was impressive from little Wen.

"Brother, decades of friendship—I don’t believe you could be so heartless."

"You can all leave now. Everyone is doing well with their own work and lives; that’s enough. Don't make my wife and daughter unhappy here. Go away!" Mr. Wen waved them off; he had originally planned to take his family out for a nice meal after Wen Ran woke up, but this unexpected turn of events ruined his mood.

"Brother!" Second Uncle Wen and Third Uncle Wen shouted.

Wen Jing was about to kick everyone out when the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, it turned out to be Fang Liucheng.

When everyone saw Fang Liucheng, their eyes turned red with anger. Uncle Wen Er and Uncle Wen San rushed forward to confront him; it was all because of him that they were all in this mess. Otherwise, the Wen family would still be doing well at Wen's Corporation, and nobody would have left.

"It's really lively today, isn't it So many people" Fang Liucheng walked over with a smile on his face. Dad Wen shook his head helplessly and sighed.

With a cold expression, Fang Liucheng said, "Oh right, after I took over Wen's Corporation, I discovered that there were serious financial issues. Someone had embezzled millions of yuan. If we take legal action, Uncle Er and Uncle San, how many years would you spend in jail"

Dad Wen frowned, while Uncle Er and Uncle San panicked. Uncle Er shouted back, "What are you talking about This is Wen's Corporation’s money; what's wrong with me using it for investment"

Enraged, Dad Wen slammed the table and slapped Uncle Er, yelling, "Stubborn to the end, get out!"

He wouldn't tolerate any more of these parasites in his company.

Uncle Er was startled. Seeing that their scheme had been exposed, everyone slunk away shamefully.

The Wen family immediately fell silent again. Wen Jing swept up the broken pieces off the ground. Warm asked Fang Liucheng, "Brother Liucheng, how come you have time to come"

"Dad said there was a gathering for dinner and asked me to come along as your driver," replied Fang Liucheng; he had no complaints about this request—it was exactly what he wanted.

Warm remained silent with her head bowed.

To go out together for dinner used to be something that happened all the time. In the past, when they happily went out to eat as a family, Warm would always be the most cheerful and excited one; now, however, she felt very conflicted about it.

"Where do you want to have dinner" Fang Liucheng asked as he sat down next to her.

Warm gave him a faint smile. "Dad likes Thai food. Let's eat Thai food today."

Wen Jing nodded and clapped her hands, "Great! Let's eat Thai food. I like it too. Dad, I'm on your side."

Dad Wen laughed loudly and pinched her cute nose before the sisters went upstairs to get ready.

Warm removed her light makeup and casually picked a water-blue dress to wear, tying her hair into a ponytail, looking adorable and playful. Mom Wen pushed open the door and came in, "Nuannuan is getting prettier."

This was a beauty that radiated from within, very eye-catching.

She playfully nuzzled her mother’s arm with a teasing tone, "That's because mom has good genes, so my sister and I are cute and pretty."

"You have such a sweet mouth."

Warm chuckled and put on a necklace. She had left many of her clothes and jewelry at the Ming Cheng apartment complex; these pieces were from before she wore brands like An Ning’s, so when she had time, she would go back to move them.

She wouldn’t be staying there anymore.

If Ye Feimo wasn't happy with it, they could talk about it then.

Now that he and Han Bi were reconciled, maybe her being at the 44th floor would interfere with them.

It was better to move back early.

"Nuannuan, have you forgiven Liu Cheng yet"

"No, I've more or less forgotten about it," Warm smiled faintly. "Mom, if both of you have forgiven him, why can't I We're still a family in the future and he’s been treated as your son since childhood."ould prefer to be illiterate.Somewhere halfway through the gathering, Tang Shuwen's phone rang.
