Because he needed the help of his grandfather, Yuwen Hou, Yuwen Jing simply stayed in their house that day and did not go back. The next day, early in the morning, after the two finished their breakfast, they went to the Green Gang together.
If not for Madam Yuwen stopping them, Yuwen Hou would have gone directly to the Green Gang to eat breakfast. If he was lucky, he might be able to eat breakfast personally cooked by Meng’er.
Whenever Marquis Yuwen thought of Chen Meng’er’s culinary skills, he couldn’t help but drool.
They ate the food served by Madam Yuwen nonetheless.
Alas, when they went to the Green Gang, they saw the two people they didn’t want to see— Elder Wharton and Chen Ming.
Yuwen Jing looked at Chen Ming with vigilance. He did not know that Chen Ming was like a cockroach that could not be killed. Last time, Chen Meng’er had spoken so decisively, yet he still did not give up and still ran towards the Green Gang.
Immediately after, Yuwen Jing understood. If it was not for Chen Ming still not giving up on Chen Meng’er, his grandfather, Elder Wharton, would not have travelled tens of thousands of miles to rush to the capital on a special plane.
And after these few days of Elder Wharton’s hindering, he was even more certain that Elder Wharton’s trip to the capital had no good intentions.
Marquis Yuwen didn’t expect that the moment he entered the Green Gang, he would meet Elder Wharton, whom he hadn’t seen for over twenty years. If one had to say, Elder Wharton had taken good care of himself. Although there were many wrinkles on his face, he didn’t look that old.
As for Marquis Yuwen, with Chen Meng’er around, how could he look old?
Therefore, when Marquis Yuwen shouted, “Wharton, you old brat, didn’t you swear in front of me and Bolin that you would never return to the capital? It’s only been twenty years, how could you forget?” Although Marquis Yuwen said this, those who were familiar with Marquis Yuwen knew that he was lying.
Elder Wharton and Chen Ming, who were rushing to the restaurant to have breakfast, heard Marquis Yuwen’s voice and stopped in their tracks. They turned their heads.
When Chen Ming turned his head, the first thing he saw was the person whom he envied and hated— Yuwen Jing. He believed that he wasn’t inferior to Yuwen Jing. Perhaps, his current achievements weren’t as good as Yuwen Jing’s. However, he was certain that as long as he was given time, he would definitely surpass Yuwen Jing.
However, no matter how much confidence he had in other aspects, he was a complete and utter failure in front of Chen Meng’er.
Even now, he could clearly remember every word that Chen Meng’er said to him in front of Yuwen Jing.
He knew why Chen Meng’er said those words so resolutely. He knew that she was doing it for his own good. However, every time he thought of what Chen Meng’er said that day, his heart ached so much that he could not breathe.
However, even so, he could not help but think of that face that made him fall in love. He could not help but miss her from the bottom of his heart. He would run over to the Green Gang just to take a look at her. It was precisely because of this little obsession that he agreed to his grandfather’s suggestion to accompany him to the Green Gang today.
He knew what his grandfather was planning. This was the first and only time that he did not reject his grandfather’s idea. There was a faint glimmer of hope in his heart.
