Chapter 1572 Uncertain
"Boy Chen, I didn't say anything. You were just guessing everything." Wen Baicao said in an inexplicable tone and with a sarcastic look on his face.
Chen Ping was choked by these words and almost didn't know how to react.
Wan Shufang was worried that he would suffer a loss, so she immediately said, "If you and your son hadn't said such excessive things, my eldest brother wouldn't have done that."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping's expression suddenly became complicated.
"My elder brother has admitted his mistakes just like I have. Why are you holding on to the past?" Chen Hai did not expect Chen Ping to do this.
But Chen Ping's actions also showed that he had listened to his words. Chen Hai felt happy and immediately spoke up to defend Chen Ping.
Seeing them stand up for him, Chen Ping felt very uncomfortable and immediately showed a trace of anger to Wen Baicao: "Did you hear what my mother and my third brother said? I advise you to be honest and stop trying to sow discord."
Holding his hands tightly, Chen Ping made a fisting gesture towards Wen Baicao, "Old man, if you don't listen to me, one day when I get out, I will definitely beat the shit out of you."
"Haha, interesting." Wen Baicao immediately laughed after hearing Chen Ping's words.
After laughing enough, his face suddenly darkened and his eyes were fixed on Chen Ping like knives.
Facing his suddenly changed expression, Chen Ping was not afraid at all, and snorted coldly at him: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to do something cruel to me at this time?"
"I'm just looking at a stupid person." Wen Baicao hinted at something, then smiled coldly, "To be honest, I've seen a lot of stupid people before, but this is the first time I've seen someone as stupid as you."
"No matter how stupid my eldest son is, he is better than your son." Chen Changli's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard the murderous intent in his words.
Wen Baicao sensed his change in mood, and said with a smile, "You two are really interesting. It seems that I didn't know you well enough before, which is why you looked down on me in every way."
"In fact, you should look down on me. After all, I am a businessman and I have done some things that are not good for you in private."
"Manager Wen is really good at joking." Chen Changli shook his head. "It's because of you that my father and I can meet again. If the General's Mansion is still there, my family will do our best to repay you."
"It's a pity that Da Jing is dead, and the General's Mansion is only in name. Even if we want to repay you, we don't know how to start. So my idea is to keep this in mind. If there is a chance in the future, I must think about repaying you."
The word "repay" he mentioned sounded quite sarcastic. Wen Baicao's heart suddenly contracted and he subconsciously took a breath.
"Dad, are you okay?" Seeing that Wen Baicao looked strange, Wen Ziyu hurried forward to support him.
Wen Baicao put some of his strength on him to steady his body, then stared at Chen Changli coldly.
Seeing that his expression was unusually calm, as if those words were deliberately said to her in order to make her blood boil, Wen Baicao immediately adjusted her mood and said with a half-smile, "You and your son are really of the same lineage."
His words were full of sarcasm. Chen Changli heard this and smiled faintly, "We are father and son. If our tempers were not the same, how could we have provoked so many people to plot against us?"
Chen Changli emphasized the word "calculated" and shook his head: "Manager Wen, our family ended up like this because of our own fault. It has nothing to do with you. Don't take it upon yourself."
"If something goes wrong with you, won't all your plans come to nothing?"
After Chen Changli said this, his eyes turned slightly cold, as if the snow in the coldest month of December would not only freeze a person's skin, but also affect the soul.
Wen Baicao felt indescribable anger in his heart, but when he saw Chen Changli's familiar face, all his anger instantly disappeared.
He sighed softly: "The Xu family is just too stubborn, that's why they are targeted. Prince Mingde's death is entirely due to the Xu family's involvement."
"I hate the royal family and the Xu family, but fifty years have passed and there is no one left in the Xu family. Why am I still holding on to that hatred?"
Chen Changli was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at him with a rather subtle look.
His words really stripped him of all his dignity. He thought Wen Baicao would completely turn against him, but he didn't expect him to say such words.
He was a little unsure about Wen Baicao.
All kinds of complicated thoughts surged in his mind, but Chen Changli remained calm and said, "So you have always hated the Xu family. No wonder you treat me a little strangely."
"I thought you were targeting me secretly because I had a good relationship with the prince, but I never thought it was because of the Xu family."
"But as far as I know, the Xu family is your maternal family. Why do you hate the Xu family to this extent?"
Chen Changli's tone was full of doubt, simply because Wen Baicao sometimes behaved in a very strange manner.
The feeling is like the elusive and untouchable colorful clouds, which makes people completely confused.
"What do you mean by hate the Xu family? He is clearly angry that the outbreak of the Prince Mingde case has deprived him of the good life of being supported by his family."
Wan Shufang stared at Wen Baicao, as if trying to see his true emotions through his calm expression.
After a few breaths, she suddenly remembered something and sneered.
"In other words, his hatred was for the wealth and glory he had lost, as well as the suffering he had endured. He never had the slightest resentment towards his family."
Wen Baicao is a selfish person from beginning to end. The hatred he shows in front of outsiders is just to maintain his own image. In fact, he is more ruthless than anyone else.
When Wan Shufang thought about this, she didn't say anything more, but her unfinished words made everyone present understand what was going on.
Everyone immediately stared at Wen Baicao with a subtle look.
"Do you two hate me so much?" Wen Baicao felt a little embarrassed when his deepest thoughts were revealed, and asked in a cold voice.
Wan Shufang sneered, "We don't hate you, you are just imagining things."
Hearing her calm tone, as if she really thought so, Wen Baicao shook her head and said, "It seems that we can't live in peace. In this case, today's matter ends here. After tomorrow, whether we live or die depends on our ability."
After saying this, Wen Baicao said to Wen Ziyu: "Ziyu, there is nothing for us to do here, let's go back."
"Dad, the Eighth Prince won't let them be so arrogant for too long." Wen Ziyu felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Wen Baicao said, and immediately said, "My son will also work hard..."
Wen Baicao interrupted him: "I am very happy that you have this intention, but it is not worth it, because the Phoenix Gu is in Chen Changli's body. If the Eighth Prince needs the Phoenix Gu, Chen Changli is more valuable than us father and son."
"Phoenix Gu?" Wen Ziyu gritted his teeth, "How can such a legendary thing be real? Dad, we have to find the Eighth Prince. We can't let him be deceived."
