Chapter 1568 Unbelievable
Seeing that he was so excited, as if he wanted to see a joke, Chen Changli deliberately glanced at Wen Ziyu and said in a light tone: "Tu Zhizhi didn't make any movement. I think she has given up on killing you."
Wen Baicao's face froze, but she glanced at Wen Ziyu from the corner of her eyes. She saw that his brows were tightly knitted, as if he dared not speak out. He snorted coldly: "If she wants to kill me, then go ahead and kill me."
"Dad, please don't say that." Wen Ziyu's heart was beating fast, and he looked at him with tears in his eyes. His voice was choked and aggrieved, "If Tu Zhizhi dares to attack you again, I will be the first one to not let her go."
On the surface, Wen Baicao did look a little uneasy and irritated, but his eyes were clear, as if everything was under control.
No matter how sincere and heartfelt Wen Ziyu's words were, they would not make his eyebrows tremble.
Wan Shufang kept staring at him, catching the calmness in him, and instantly realized that his relationship with Wen Ziyu was not as good as they had guessed.
"Mr. Wen, Wen Baicao is your father after all. As long as you make up your mind, he will compromise." Wan Shufang said to Wen Ziyu with feigned sympathy.
Wen Ziyu's face was full of excitement, no longer bitter, but his tone was unhappy: "Tu Zhizhi has already rejected me. She looked down on me from the beginning. Humph, I am a man after all, how can I keep lowering myself."
"You don't have to encourage me. I know more about Tu Zhizhi and I than you do. I won't allow you to interfere here."
Although Wen Ziyu was not clear about the identities of the two people in front of him, he could see that they were being watched, so he judged that their identities were not as good as his.
He felt proud in his heart but did not show it on his face. He just stared at the two of them warily.
Seeing his defensive expression, Wan Shufang immediately suppressed some of the thoughts in her mind, glanced at Wen Baicao, and then sighed: "Manager Wen's methods are not bad."
Hearing that she was praising him sincerely, Wen Baicao concealed the cruelty deep in his eyes and said with a faint smile: "My unfilial son is trapped in the love between children, but he is filial, not like your couple's children."
"When I heard about the two brothers at the Ninth Prince's base, I went to meet them on purpose. I never thought that they would..."
Wen Baicao deliberately stopped talking here, as if he wanted to anger Wan Shufang and Chen Changli.
Sensing his little thoughts, Chen Changli raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then said with a steady look, "My husband and I know very well what kind of personalities those two children have, so we never had high hopes for them."
When Wen Baicao heard this, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Those are your eldest and third sons. Have you really decided to abandon them?"
Hearing his misinterpretation, Chen Changli pretended to be confused: "How unfilial is your son! He wants to make fun of us in order to appease himself."
Wan Shufang wanted to scold back, but she didn't expect Chen Changli to say that.
She almost couldn't hold back her expression and burst out laughing.
In order not to increase Wen Baicao's hatred towards her family, Wan Shufang could only endure it.
"I thought the one with a sharp tongue was your wife, but I didn't expect you to be so eloquent as well." Wen Baicao stared at Chen Changli, unwilling to miss any change in him, but with a smile on her face.
"Not as good as you." Wan Shufang deliberately emphasized her tone, and then changed the subject, "Why did you and your son come here? It can't be the same purpose as my husband and me, right?"
"Why not?" Wen Baicao asked deliberately.
Wan Shufang sighed: "My two sons have no opinions of their own and are easily taken advantage of, but why do they deserve your attention?"
Hearing these ironic words, Chen Changli looked at Wen Baicao deeply for a moment, "Why did you come at this time, Wen Baicao, are you here to stop me?"
Without waiting for Wen Baicao to refute, Chen Changli said, "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about, so why don't we talk about it in front of everyone."
The meaning of his words was very clear, which was to let the Eighth Prince know the content of their conversation.
Wen Baicao's face wrinkled into a ball, looking unhappy.
But thinking of the Eighth Prince's seemingly angry but actually calm expression after Ye Yun went back to report yesterday, Wen Baicao couldn't help feeling depressed.
The Eighth Prince's desire for Phoenix Gu is not as deep as he thought. Old Lady Shang happens to know the secret recipe of Phoenix Gu. The Eighth Prince's attitude towards Chen Changli will undergo a drastic change.
Since he wanted to gain merit in front of the Ninth Prince, such a useful chess piece like Chen Changli could not be abandoned.
Wen Baicao's mind turned, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him. He said with a sense of loss, "We live in this world just to fight for salvation."
"But the others don't want us to fight for our salvation. They just want us to struggle in the world of mortals and be unable to extricate ourselves."
"If a person cannot even control his own destiny in his life, how miserable his life would be!"
The more Wen Ziyu listened, the more guilty he felt. His voice suddenly became choked with sobs: "Dad, I will help you solve your problems."
Wen Baicao reached out and rubbed his forehead, looked at him calmly, and said with a smile: "It's good that you have this intention, but you can't interfere in my affairs."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Changli and said, "I know what you want to do. In fact, our goals are the same. As long as you make concessions, I can keep you alive."
His words were so blunt that Wan Shufang was startled and couldn't help but look at the people next to the couple.
Seeing that they looked calm and didn't seem to take Wen Baicao's words seriously, Wan Shufang's heart sank.
"You two should not let your imagination run wild." Seeing Wan Shufang's little action, Wen Baicao deliberately raised her voice, "You don't have to worry that the Eighth Prince will have any objections to my words. On the contrary, I can say such words in front of you two because the Eighth Prince tacitly agrees."
Chen Changli was a little bit unbelievable: "The Eighth Prince is not that stupid."
Wan Shufang deeply agreed: "No matter how few people the Eighth Prince can use, he still has people around him who advise him. If you go too far, these people will just gang up on you."
Wen Baicao snorted and laughed: "What if I told the Eighth Prince some things yesterday?"
"It is indeed possible, but what does this prove?" Chen Changli asked tentatively.
Wen Baicao knew what he meant and replied with a smile: "This shows that Phoenix Gu is not very attractive to the Eighth Prince, so the struggle between the three princes is not as fierce as you think. If you and your wife want to take the opportunity to escape, it will only backfire."
Chen Changli had long known that some of his thoughts could not be hidden from him.
But now that he heard him say it so bluntly, he couldn't help but feel irritated.
"As expected of Shopkeeper Wen, your ability to read people's minds is truly admirable." Chen Changli suppressed his irritability and praised calmly. Then he changed the subject and made people shudder, "The Ninth Prince and the Sixth Prince probably cooperated because of you."
