Chapter 1740 - 1739: You’re Really Ruthless
Chapter 1740: Chapter 1739: You’re Really Ruthless
Wen Jin squinted slightly, a trace of coldness lifting at the corner of his mouth.
Together with Gu Kai, he watched the video.
In those ten-odd minutes, neither of them spoke.
They just occasionally exchanged a glance, and when they heard Xu Wanqi admitting to having had a relationship with Meng Ke, a spark suddenly flared in Gu Kai’s dark eyes.
Similarly, a hint of surprise flashed in Wen Jin’s eyes, then his thin lips curved slightly, a smile that wasn’t a smile emerging.
"Ah Jin, do you think this Xu Wanqi really had a relationship with Meng Ke?"
Gu Kai asked playfully, a smile tugging at his lips.
Wen Jin snorted, "Impossible."
"You trust Meng Ke that much?"
Gu Kai pondered for two seconds, then asked with a cheeky grin.
Wen Jin analyzed calmly, "It’s not about trust; it’s that Xu Wanqi is lying. Meng Ke wouldn’t be that stupid."
"Let’s hear it,"
Gu Kai had a look of anticipation, ready to hear a story.
Wen Jin satisfied his curiosity, speaking calmly, "Meng Ke sincerely likes Xiaoxiao; otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited for her so long. If he really had something with Xu Wanqi, do you think Xu Wanqi would keep quiet about it?"
If Meng Ke and Xu Wanqi were involved, Xu Wanqi would have already told Bai Xiaoxiao.
"Haha!"
Gu Kai burst into laughter.
When he saw Xu Wanqi and Madam Meng leave the hospital room together, he closed the video, "Should we tell Ah Feng this good news? He would be thrilled."
Wen Jin slightly furrowed his brows, speaking thoughtfully, "I think instead of telling Ah Feng this now, we should wait until it’s confirmed before telling him."
"Ah Jin, you’re ruthless enough."
Gu Kai squinted slightly, understanding his intention.
However, how to confirm that news.
"Do you have a way to help Xu Wanqi achieve her wish?"
Wen Jin did not immediately answer Gu Kai’s question.
He walked away from the desk and sat back on the sofa.
Gu Kai followed him back to the sofa, touching his chin, pondering something.
"Before helping Xu Wanqi, we need to know what Xiaoxiao thinks. After all, she is currently involved with Meng Ke, and Aunt Qiao is still very optimistic about Meng Ke."
Wen Jin knew Gu Kai wanted to help Luo Haofeng.
However, they had to consider all aspects.
Bai Xiaoxiao truly being willing to be with Luo Haofeng at any cost, or willing to compromise and stay with Meng Ke.
"Last night, Xiaoxiao had dinner at my place."
Gu Kai said thoughtfully.
Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, his voice slightly pitched, "Oh?"
"Do you know that Ah Feng and his current girlfriend are not really dating, but just putting on a show?"
"No, didn’t know."
Wen Jin shook his head, a slight confusion appearing on his face.
"I told Xiaoxiao that Ah Feng and Tian Ruoyi are just acting, not really involved. At the time, Xiaoxiao was also quite surprised."
"How about this, I’ll ask Ranran. Ranran must be clearer about Xiaoxiao’s thoughts than we are."
"Sounds good."
"I’ll head off now, going to find Ranran just in time for lunch."
Wen Jin said with a smile, getting up.
Gu Kai smiled, "I need to head home later, so I won’t join you."
"You have a family, a wife and kids, I wouldn’t force you," Wen Jin laughed heartily twice, waved at Gu Kai, and turned towards the door.

"Brother, what wind blew today that you are actually coming to ask me to lunch."
Outside Haochen Group.
Wen Ran walked with lively steps to the roadside, smiling as she asked Wen Jin, who was waiting by the car.
Wen Jin smiled dotingly, "Get in the car and we’ll talk."
Wen Ran bent down into the car, Wen Jin helped her close the door, then walked around to get into the driver’s seat.
"Where’s Mo Xiuchen, why isn’t he with you?"
Wen Jin asked while fastening his seatbelt.
The car was too warm, so Wen Ran took off her coat, smiling, "Mo Xiuchen has a lunch appointment today, brother, you came at just the right time."
"Haha!"
Wen Jin laughed happily. After starting the car and hitting the road, he said, "Next time Mo Xiuchen can’t accompany you for a meal, just call me. Your brother inviting you for a meal is always doable."
"Alright."
Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, her smile bright and radiant.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm... let’s eat seafood."
Wen Jin felt a warmth in his heart, "Ranran, say what you want to eat."
Because he liked seafood, Wen Ran suggested seafood.
"I did say, let’s eat seafood, eat crabs," Wen Ran said, then laughed playfully.
Twenty minutes later, the siblings were seated in the ’Seafood’ private room.
The first time Wen Jin brought Wen Ran here for seafood was ten years ago.
Back then, this seafood place had just opened, and Wen Ran said, "Brother, is the owner of this place so lazy, using ’Seafood’ directly as the restaurant’s name."
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
Now, not only was she a wife, but also a mother. The once innocent girl had, through the passage of time, shed her naivety, becoming mature, beautiful, and charming.
"Ranran, do you remember what you said the first time you came here to eat?"
Wen Jin handed her a drink of water, casually asking.
Wen Ran smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember, I said the owner of this place must be very lazy, not even bothering to think of a name, just using ’Seafood’ for it."
"In a blink, it’s been ten years."
Wen Jin looked at Wen Ran with a smile in his eyes, his gentle voice carrying a tinge of sentiment.
Ten years ago, he was the brother in her eyes.
She, however, was the most important person in his heart.
"Brother, you’re as handsome as you were ten years ago. I remember there was a young waitress who blushed at the sight of you."
When Wen Ran said this, she purposefully glanced toward the door.
The door to the room was closed, and outside, the waiter stood.
Just now, when the waiter saw her brother, she blushed just like the waitress ten years ago.
"Really, your brother is old now, not handsome anymore."
"Who says, men are at their prime at forty, and you’re not even considered a bud yet. At least half of the unmarried women in G City pine for you day and night."
"You conducted a survey?"
"Hmm, I did a very serious survey, there are way too many who want to be my sister-in-law." Wen Ran answered earnestly.
Wen Jin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, giving her a faux glare.
After the waiter served the dishes, Wen Jin turned the conversation to the main topic, "Ranran, I just watched an interesting video at Ah Kai’s office."
"What video?"
Wen Ran blinked, a touch of curiosity appearing on her delicate face.
Wen Jin chuckled softly, placing the peeled seafood on the plate in front of her, "It’s about Xu Wanqi, she told Meng Ke’s mother that she and Meng Ke have already had a substantial relationship."
"Really?"
Wen Ran’s eyes widened in shock.
Meng Ke and Xu Wanqi...
Wen Jin chuckled softly, speaking at an unhurried pace, "I think it’s false, but Xu Wanqi certainly wishes it to be true."
Wen Ran quickly understood the implication in Wen Jin’s words, "Brother, you mean to help Xu Wanqi become Meng Ke’s woman?"
