Chapter 288: People Have to Look Ahead

Yu Dong thought about it and felt that what Liang Xun said made sense. Since he had time today, he should visit Shen Yu first.
Yu Dong had no idea that Liang Xun said that because he wanted to have some alone time.
When the two of them were at home, they did not seem to have much to do, but it was good enough as long as they could stay in the same space.
Liang Xun watched a movie with Jing Yao or stayed on the balcony in a daze.
Otherwise, she would go to the study, Liang Xun would deal with some things, and Jing Yao would read.
It felt good no matter what.
The two of them were loving together, but the Wen Family was deserted.
Yesterday, Ji Wei fought with Wen Chen and left. Wen Chen was first beaten up by Cheng Wan. When Mr. Wen returned home at night and found out about this, Wen Cheng was scolded again.
Father Wen had always been strict with his children, especially his only son.
However, Wen Chen had been a model child since he was young. He was serious and motivated in his studies, and he knew when to advance or retreat when interacting with others.
Hence, Mr. Wen actually did not hit or scold him much. Even if he did things slightly biased when he was young, he would at most remind him a little. After that, Wen Chen would change.
Mr. Wen was actually quite proud of his son, but he did not expect that he would make such a big mistake regarding Jing Yao and the Jing Family.
When he found out that Jing Yao was bullied in the school because of Wen Chen, Mr. Wen talked to Wen Chen. For the first time in his life, he said to Wen Chen in a disappointed tone, “If you don’t like the betrothal with the Jing Family, you can tell me. Your mother and 1 will cancel this betrothal for you. Why do you have to treat a girl like that?”
At that time, Wen Chen only felt a burning pain on his face. Most boys admired their father, and Wen Chen was no exception. Since he was young, his father had almost always praised him. He had never spoken to him in such a disappointed tone.
“It’s not that I don’t like her, but I…” Wen Chen couldn’t finish his sentence. What was he going to say?
Say that he was young and frivolous? Say that he just had strong self-esteem and did not want his classmates to say that he had a country bumpkin fiancee?
These were not reasons. They could not “exonerate” him.
A mistake was a mistake. The damage had already been done.
However, he was indignant.
He did not dare to tell anyone about his indignance, but everyone in the family should have seen it.
He was really indignant. He might not have been like this if he had never had the chance, but when he was young, he clearly felt that Jing Yao liked him.
Her eyes sparkled when she looked at him.
Could all of this be fake?
Hope was right in front of him, but he did not grasp it. He could not accept this.
“Why did you fight with Little Wei this time?” Mr. Wen asked directly.
Wen Chen did not tell the truth and said vaguely, “We just had a small conflict.”
Mr. Wen knew that it was definitely not a small conflict. He had watched these two children grow up and knew them very well.
Every time the two of them fought, it was most likely because of Jing Yao, and this time was probably no exception.
Mr. Wen only felt a little tired. He didn’t want to investigate anything related to Jing Yao anymore.
He only said to Wen Chen, “You’re already an adult. You have to know your limits. Little Wei is your younger brother. You should love him and not fight when there’s a conflict.”
Wen Chen lowered his head and replied, “Got it.”
He did not want to fight with Ji Wei either. Ji Wei had been raised in his house since he was young and he treated Ji Wei as his biological younger brother.
Mr. Wen sighed and looked at Wen Chen. “You don’t have to go to the company tomorrow. Your Uncle Li’s daughter just returned to the country a few days ago. Aren’t you university classmates? It’s been many years since we last met. You can catch up.”
Wen Chen suddenly looked up at Mr. Wen. He knew what Mr. Wen meant.
The so-called catching up was just an excuse. It was actually for him to go on a blind date.
“I’ve been very busy recently.” Wen Chen rejected tactfully.
Mr. Wen looked at him with a burning gaze. “I know your work better than you. If you don’t work a day, the Wen Corporation won’t close down.”
Wen Chen did not speak. Cheng Wan, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, “Let’s go take a look. We have to make some new friends. I’ve seen that girl. She’s not bad.”
Wen Chen still did not answer. Mr. Wen stared at him and suddenly said, “People have to look forward. We can’t always be trapped in the past.”
A look of pain flashed across Wen Chen’s eyes. In the end, he nodded and said, “Got it. I’ll go..”
