Chapter 181 - (Im Going to Marry Zhao Yuan) After a Lot of Scheming, Zhao Yuan Will Marry Chen Wanxin (2/2)
He figured all the Chens’ relatives and friends would show up at his wedding ceremony, and that person he had been waiting for would come back.
He did not believe that Lin Wenxi had returned the Chens simply to find his origin, and he believed that he would meet Lin Wenxi again someday.
That time when he was in deep pain, Zhang An’an quietly sat with him on the campus playground to comfort him. Eventually, he told Zhang An’an what had happened to him and Lin Wenxi. They calmed down, thought it over and things seemed to get clearer. He was more certain that Lin Wenxi had returned to the Chens because of something to do with his father, Lin Ziwei’s death.
This became the only reason that had sustained Zhao Yuan to wait for Lin Wenxi until now.
After separating from Lin Wenxi at the Buddha’s Voice Temple, Zhao Yuan was very confused. When he told his troubles to Zhang An’an, he understood that he and Lin Wenxi could not be a carefree couple before he avenged his father. Lin Wenxi must have seen through it and known that he would always have revenge on his mind. Only when their common enemy, the Chens, was destroyed could they be together happily.
“Why are you telling me this?” Shu Xiaoman asked.
“I don’t want anyone to interfere with my wedding ceremony, and that includes Chen Yuanxi! He will be appointed as the deputy manager of BC Company soon after returning to China. Whenever Zhao Yuan had business matters to discuss with me, he had always asked you and the deputy general manager of your company to meet me because he didn’t want to see me. If he finds out that the new deputy general manager is Chen Yuanxi, I don’t know what he will do. You know better than I do what he has done for Chen Yuanxi,” Chen Wanxin said. “If you can help me hide the news, I will do everything possible to create opportunities for you to stay with Chen Yuanxi. After all, I’m the general manager. He has to follow my instructions at work and for external contacts after returning,” Chen Wanxin continued.
“But Wenxi is your younger brother. How can I hide the news of your wedding from him?” Shu Xiaoman asked.
“I will arrange for him to return to the United States. You don’t need to worry about that.” Chen Wanxin looked down.
“Why should I help you? I still remember what you did before,” Shu Xiaoman said with a smile.
“Things are different now. We have never been enemies. You were so naive that you wanted Chen Yuanxi and A Yuan to be together. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done those to you. Now, we have the same goal. We each take what we want. That’s all,” Chen Wanxin said coldly.
“What if I still want them to be together?” Shu Xiaoman asked tentatively.
“If you were still a college student, I believe you would think this way. Now you are the only general manager’s assistant of your company, and Zhao Yuan gave you many shares, so if any rumors about him and Chen Yuanxi spread and what had happened between them was made known to the public, what will happen to your company? The scandal would be enough to bring the company down. Even if you do not think about yourself, you should consider Zhao Yuan! In the past six years, ever since Zhao Yuan began to create his company, you have been working for him. I think maybe because you couldn’t stay with Chen Yuanxi, you wanted to stay with the person he missed. Are you still thinking that you did this because you wanted them to be together? Don’t be naive! You love Chen Yuanxi, so just like me, you don’t want them to be together. Am I right?” Chen Wanxin poured half a glass of wine for Shu Xiaoman and continued, “It’s up to you. What’s more, Chen Yuanxi is at home now. If you agree to my request, I will bring you to him right now.”
Shu Xiaoman thought for a while and then nodded with a smile. But she was not quite sure about her feelings for Lin Wenxi.
She saw a familiar figure in the Mercedes as it slowly came out of the gate. Shu Xiaoman rushed to the car and stopped it. The man inside hesitated for a while before finally opening the door.
It had been six years!
Shu Xiaoman was extremely excited as soon as she saw the man’s black leather shoes and trouser legs. She even had an impulse to rush up and hug him right now. She wanted to look at him carefully to find out what he looked like, and she wanted to hear how he was doing.
Now she finally had a legitimate reason to talk to this man.
Lin Wenxi stood not far away from her.
He was still handsome, but the delicate and graceful air had grown mature and wise. His eyes glistened as if they could see through everything. His chin was no longer chubby but was square. His nose was straight. Even his lips seemed to be eloquent. He had a thick moustache on his lips. As a man of only about twenty-five years old, he was already at the pinnacle of success.
The tidy and elegant business suit with a single row of buttons on it, the silk necktie and the gold Rolex watch on his wrist all showed his unusual status. However, he seemed to be the same as all other successful men. Shu Xiaoman sized him up, trying to find something different about him. He was very strange and polite to her with a faint smile on his face. “Is he really Lin Wenxi?” Shu Xiaoman wondered.
“Wenxi?” Shu Xiaoman called his name in a trembling voice.
“Hi, Xiaoman!” He was still frank and confident, but when he called her name, he was not as loving and dependent as before. He did not greet her like an old friend he had not seen for a long time. It seemed he had known what would happen a long time ago—they would meet each other, and they would just treat each other like strangers.
“By the way, my surname is Chen, and my given name is Yuanxi.” With that, he handed her a business card with a smile.
Shu Xiaoman felt the business card seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and it was hard for her to carry it. She stared in horror at the hot-stamping name on the business card—Chen Yuanxi.
