~7 min read 1,241 words

Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun, with inquiring gazes, looked toward Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming gave a faint reply: 'En.'

After obtaining Xiao Ming's permission, the three siblings reluctantly followed Wen Fengshu toward the several wealthy merchants near the banquet hall.

Come on, everyone, let me introduce, this child is my grandson, Wen Yunzhe.

These two children are my granddaughters, Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun.

Wen Fengshu, with an extremely amiable attitude, introduced the three siblings to those several wealthy tycoons.

"Really?" Those wealthy merchants, upon hearing this, all looked surprised at the three siblings; they had never known that Wen Fengshu actually had a grandson and two granddaughters.

Several people suddenly understood Wen Fengshu's intention, each with eyes shining as they looked at the three siblings.

"Damn it!" This scene, seen by Wen Fengshu's daughter-in-law Ding Wan and grandson Wen Dongyu, made their faces turn deathly pale, their eyes filled with hatred.

The guests at the banquet all looked at Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun with a special gaze, each showing signs of being moved, all captivated by the beauty of the two sisters.

They are simply too beautiful.

Wen Yuchun is lively and outgoing, while Wen Jingrou is gentle and elegant, practically like a beauty walking out of a painting; with such looks, they could easily outshine the current top female stars in the entertainment industry.

Everyone, at that moment, fell silent.

Wen Fengshu saw a young man looking at Wen Jingrou with admiring eyes, and she smiled satisfiedly.

That young man was the son of New Prosperity Group's CEO Wang Mengran, Wang Yuxiang.

New Prosperity Group possesses assets worth hundreds of billions; Wang Mengran is a major figure in the business world with great business acumen, playing the business circles skillfully.

When the Wen Family settled in Anjin, the first relationship they cultivated was with New Prosperity; she and New Prosperity Group jointly developed a vacation resort tourist spot.

If the relationship between the two families could be further advanced, it would be extremely advantageous for the Wen Family.

Wang Yuxiang is Wang Mengran's only son; if Wen Jingrou could be with Wang Yuxiang, then with New Prosperity's help, the Wen Family would surely be able to establish a foothold in Anjin in a much shorter time.

Upon seeing Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun dressed up so beautifully, Wen Fengshu thought only of how to properly utilize these two sisters to win over various factions for her, thereby strengthening the Wen Family's power.

"Jingrou, this is the son of New Prosperity Group's CEO Wang Mengran, Wang Yuxiang; he just returned from overseas studies, is handsome and highly capable, you two are about the same age, so you surely have many common topics; accompany the Young Master Wang in conversation, and by no means neglect him."

Wang Yuxiang's affectionate gaze toward Wen Jingrou was clear to Wen Fengshu; how could she let such a great opportunity slip away?

Wen Jingrou immediately showed displeasure, unhappily turning her head away.

Wen Yuchun was so angry she nearly exploded on the spot; if it weren't for her mother's keepsake still in that old hag's hands, she would surely have shouted a loud rebuke then and there.

Both sisters understood Wen Fengshu's meaning; this was about selling them off.

Just like when they once tried to sell their mother.

"Shameless!" Wen Yuzhe glared angrily at Wen Fengshu and cursed.

The three siblings all knew Wen Fengshu was no pushover, but the sisters, upon first entering the Wen Family's door, she had already schemed against them, truly disgusting.

"Jingrou, let's go." Wen Yuchun angrily glared at Wen Fengshu, pulled her sister toward XiaoMo; Wen Yuzhe also glared at Wen Fengshu displeasedly and walked away with the two sisters.

Wen Fengshu, however, paid no heed to the siblings' attitude; turning around with a good temper, she said to Wang Yuxiang: "Yuxiang, I, my few grandchildren have just returned to the Wen Family and may not be accustomed to such occasions; don't take it to heart."

"What Grandma Wen said." Wang Yuxiang replied politely, but his gaze kept following Wen Jingrou away.

"The children are shy; today there are many people, it's normal for a few kids to be stage‑frightened; later I'll have a good talk with my granddaughter, you two can arrange to go out together, young people ought to make more friends, right?" Wen Fengshu said with implied meaning.

"Okay, okay, Grandma Wen, I understand." Wang Yuxiang replied happily.

Beside him, Wang Mengran understood the deep meaning of Wen Fengshu's move, but he made no outward sign, effectively acquiescing to her approach.

The Wen Family having such beautiful granddaughters still came as a surprise to him.

His son has always been a workaholic; although the family had previously introduced several respectable young ladies, Wang Yuxiang couldn't even be bothered to glance at them.

Today he actually took a liking to the young lady named Wen Jingrou; she appears gentle and courteous, seems a fine match; if they could be together, they could continue the Wang lineage, and he is naturally pleased.

Thinking this, he stepped forward and echoed: "What Sister Fengshu said makes sense; young people like them have endless topics when together; let's have the two kids arrange to go out sometime."

"Yes, what Old Brother Wang said is correct." Wen Fengshu nodded in agreement.

She secretly sighed in her heart; her daughter Wen Zihan had been raised in vain, offering no help to the Wen Family at all, except for giving birth to two fairy‑like maidens for the Wen Family; as Wen Fengshu's daughter, she at least contributed something to the family.

As for Wen Yuzhe, Wen Fengshu had already figured it out; as long as he returned to the Wen Family, she had plenty of ways to make him obediently comply.

After Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun left, they returned to Xiao Ming's side, feeling wronged.

"What's wrong? Look at that little face, all aggrieved." Xiao Ming furrowed his brows and asked the two daughters.

He is, after all, a person of status, not a commoner; since the Wen Family hosted a banquet today, if the other side doesn't provoke trouble, he naturally won't instigate any either.

He even thought that perhaps the several children, having grown older and seen things clearly, truly wanted to get close to their few grandchildren.

"Father, that old hag is too hateful; she blatantly, right in front of us two, wants to set my sister up with some Young Master Wang Yuxiang, clearly intending to sell off my sister." Wen Yuchun said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming's heart instantly flared with anger.

He felt like punching that old woman twice right away to vent his hatred.

"Unrepentant, are you tired of living?" Xiao Ming was truly angered; back then they wanted to ally through marriage with the woman he loved, and now they want to ally through marriage with his daughter.

"When did it become her place to dictate the lives of his two little girls?"

"Dare to meddle with his daughter's thoughts—hmph, then they'll have to pay a heavy price."

"Jingrou, it's okay, nothing's wrong; I'm here, she hasn't yet the ability to do as she pleases with you." Xiao Ming patted Wen Jingrou's shoulder, comforting his daughter.

"Mr. Xiao, this… uh, Yuzhe's grandmother, this thing is indeed wrong." Having witnessed Wen Fengshu's series of maneuvers, Geng Tianhua and his wife were both dumbfounded.
