Chapter 26 An Empty Apology (2/2)

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

day, I'm still going in to see my daughter!”

Daughter?

When Jean, who was faintly resting with her eyes closed, heard Joy Yi say this word, she couldn't help trembling from the bottom of her heart. Afterwards, goosebumps ran all over her.

She had truly learned the saying birds of a feather flock together. Looking at it now, it seemed her father was indeed a perfect match for Joy Yi.

Jean Wen pretended to be sound asleep and didn't open her eyes even once.

She had already seen how shameless her father was and also learned how much Shirley Wen love scheming and manipulating. But she realized she still hadn't truly known the Wens until Joy Yi showed up outside the ward. She didn't know that someone could be this shameless.

Her heart felt as if she'd been splashed by a bowl of cold water.

Unbearable freezing.

Zed Qi obviously heard the ruckus outside the door. His brows were furrowed into a knot, appearing extremely annoyed. He subconsciously looked at Jean Wen, who was still sleeping beside him and did not mean to wake up. Zed Qi knew that Jean Wen would be waken up eventually by the noise if he did not stop Joy Yi at once.

He absolutely couldn't let anyone disturb Jean Wen's rest. Not even for a second!

Suddenly, Zed Qi rose from the couch with a strong aura around him. A burst of fire came out from his eyes.

This Winner Wen... He actually had the guts to come on his own accord!

Zed Qi slightly raised the corners of his mouth. A demonic smile surfaced on his already malicious face.

Jean Wen heard Zed Qi's footsteps getting further away, seemingly reaching the door and then she heard the door open.

Instantly, Joy Yi's voice got much louder.

”See? See? This is your CEO, right? I wasn't wrong, was I? Right now, he's our Wen family's son-in-law!”

At the sight of Zed Qi, Joy Yi assumed that he'd specially came out to welcome her. Her words towards the secretary became more arrogant, trying to intimidate the other with her powerful connections.

Winner Wen was more deferential and put on a smile immediately. It was like he'd bent over backwards for Zed Qi. He spoke to Zed Qi with a big smile,” Brother-in-law, we're here to see my big sister and talk to her about some things. Your secretary just now thought my mother and I were the bad guys and wouldn't let us in. See, I didn't know you were in there too. If I had known that you were in there, I would have directly talked to you first, right?”

Winner Win's fawning words and his flattering face only gave Zed Qi an even worse impression on the Wens.

Zed Qi glanced at Winner Wen with a loathing expression on his face. His haughty attitude made him like a high and mighty king.

Although Winner Wen was discontent, he didn't dare to show any of it on the outside. After all... It directly depended on Jean Wen's attitude towards him, whether he could return to the Wens and smoothly inherit the Wen's property.

No matter how asshole Winner Wen was, he knew the stakes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have came along with Joy Yi to apologize to Jean Wen.

He lowered his voice a bit and spoke to Zed Qi with a bigger smile,” Brother-in-law, how is my big sister?”

This call of 'brother-in-law' sounded rather sweet.

Zed Qi took another glance at Winner Wen with an evident smile on his lips. To be accurate, it was a contemptuous sneer. From his dark eyes shot out two cold light, unexpectedly making everyone unable to breathe.

Joy Yi saw that Zed Qi wasn't speaking. In her heart, she was worried that Winner had said something wrong and made Zed unhappy.
