Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng's expression was not good.

"What's wrong? You look so pale?" Xi Yu asked.

"fine."

Wen Shengsheng didn't want to talk. Through the rearview mirror, she saw that after her car started, Gong Xiaochen's car was still following behind.

Xi Yu raised his hand and tucked a stray hair behind Wen Shengsheng's ear.

"Is there anything you can't tell me? You looked so restless as soon as you got in the car."

“You came all this way to pick me up, so you must have something to tell me, right?” Wen Shengsheng waved his hand away. “Go ahead and say it.”

Xi Yu was slightly taken aback, and the faint, almost imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth slowly pursed into a straight line.

"Do you have to talk to me like this now?" He lowered his voice.

"Since there's nothing to explain, then let's just leave it at that."

Ignoring the anger on Xi Yu's face, Wen Shengsheng closed her eyes to rest.

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Xi Yu's cold eyes. He reached out and grabbed Wen Shengsheng, pulling her into his arms.

"Why are you still treating me like this? I thought I had made myself clear to you before."

"What did you explain clearly?"

Because of the fever, Wen Shengsheng had no strength left and was too lazy to push him away. She just coldly looked up at him.

"Do you want me to keep enduring this so you can extract the remaining value from me, or does Young Master Xi also have other intentions and want me to keep quiet and become your mistress behind your back?!"

"I advise you to let go of me immediately. Don't try to have your cake and eat it too, and don't act like a coward!"

Xi Yu's narrow, cold eyes narrowed instantly, flashing a cold and sharp light, like the most biting winter wind, making people shudder.

Gong Xiaochen, who had been following behind, stared coldly at the two people embracing in the black car in front, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The air pressure inside the entire carriage was extremely low, and Chen Ze wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He asked tremblingly, "Young Master Gong, shall we continue?"

"Let's go!" Gong Xiaochen lit a cigarette and coldly uttered a single word.

After a long while, Xi Yu finally managed a helpless smile and released Wen Shengsheng.

"We have guests at home tonight. When you get back, no matter what the old man says, don't respond or argue with him. Just follow my lead," he said calmly.

Someone who can elicit such a response from Xi Yu is probably not someone to be trifled with.

Wen Shengsheng asked, "What guest? Does he/she have anything to do with me?"

Xi Yu: "My second uncle has returned from abroad."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat.

Xi Yu's second uncle is named Xi Jianguo, who is more than ten years younger than Xi Maokun.

He had been managing the Xi family's businesses overseas, so Wen Shengsheng in her previous life had never met him.

But she often heard his name.

After Xi Yu took over the Hongyuan project, Xi Jianguo caused him a lot of trouble and made things difficult for the project.

Xi Yu initially showed some leniency towards his second uncle, but later their conflict escalated.

Wen Shengsheng often overheard Xi Yu making phone calls late at night, and they were always talking about Xi Jianguo.

The car drove smoothly into the Xi residence.

Wen Shengsheng and Xi Yu entered the living room separately. Before she had even fully entered, she heard a deep male voice coming from inside.

It seemed that Xi Maokun was discussing something with someone.

Upon entering the living room, Wen Shengsheng finally saw Xi Jianguo, whom she had heard so much about.

Upon closer inspection, I immediately sensed something was wrong.

When Wen Shengsheng came in, Xi Jianguo, with his chubby belly, turned around and looked at her with feigned surprise.

"Oh my, this is Sheng Sheng! She's so beautiful!"

Xi Maokun was as round as a big ball, with a large face and features that looked squeezed together, making them difficult to distinguish.

Her small eyes always shone with a cleverness, constantly darting around.

It was at Jasmine Mansion that day that the fat man was knocked down by Xu Zhiwei.

"Hello, Second Uncle." Wen Shengsheng greeted him with a forced smile.

Upon seeing Wen Shengsheng enter, Xi Maokun's smiling face immediately fell.

He snorted coldly, "You still have the nerve to come back!"

Wen Shengsheng frowned and looked at him.

"Oh dear, big brother, you're still so strict. They're still just little kids. Keep your voice down, or you'll scare Sheng Sheng to tears."

Xi Jianguo said with a smile, "He's like a kind uncle, and with his chubby figure, it's easy for people to like him."

Fortunately, Wen Shengsheng was a reborn person, so she knew very well that the more Xi Jianguo put on this kind and benevolent appearance, the more chilling it was to behold.

The Hongyuan project has already started, and he and Xi Yu should already be fighting.

She needs to be careful too.

After all, she and Xi Yu are still officially on the same side.

Wen Shengsheng remained silent, waiting for Xi Maokun to continue.

"Who's crying?" At that moment, Xi Yu walked in.

Upon seeing him arrive, Xi Maokun's displeasure subsided slightly, and he snorted coldly.

"Let's get ready to eat. We can talk about anything else at the table."

As expected, Li Wanqiu arrived before the meal.

This was Xi Jianguo's first family dinner after returning to China, so Xu Hui prepared it very meticulously.

At the dinner table, everyone was toasting and enjoying themselves immensely, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Wen Shengsheng sat at the end of the table like an outsider, silently picking at her food.

My body temperature is getting higher and higher. I must have taken a cold shower last night and caught a chill, which is why I have a fever today.

After a few rounds of drinks, Xi Maokun's smile faded, and he turned his stern gaze to Wen Shengsheng.

"Quit your job at Qingshan Capital and move back to Xizhai."

"What did you say?" Wen Shengsheng thought she had misheard and couldn't help but ask back.

"I'm not so old that I can't speak clearly yet," Xi Maokun said, displeased.

"Sheng Sheng, Uncle Xi thinks you're working too hard and says you should quit your job and come home to rest. You don't need to go to work anymore," Li Wanqiu kindly reminded her from the side.

Wen Shengsheng immediately turned her gaze to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes remained calm, as if he were listening to something unimportant.

Wen Shengsheng's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and she instantly realized that this trap was aimed at her.

She composed herself and put down her chopsticks.

He looked calmly at Xi Maokun and said in a light tone.

"I have projects to work on right now, so I can't quit my job."

"Then wait until this project is finished, and then resign." Xi Maokun unusually conceded a step.

Wen Shengsheng shook her head, "I can't resign then."

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table, and everyone turned their surprised gazes toward Wen Shengsheng.

"Oh, what are you saying?" Xi Ruifeng sneered, "Did you go away to live for a while and become wild, or do you think you've gotten too big for your britches now that you have Li Chuan as your boyfriend?"

"No, this is a job I worked hard to get, and I really like it. So why would I want to quit?" Wen Shengsheng asked, glancing at everyone.

"You just want to die knowing why, right?" Xi Maokun's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at Wen Shengsheng.
