The man's fingers could not help but caress his cheek again. There seemed to be some lingering gentleness of a woman's palm on this side. Of course, there was also the whistling sound of the wind when the slap came over, including the crisp sound when the slap landed.
He coughed softly and quickly changed the topic. "Tell me, why are you calling me so late at night?"
Chen Fangfei knew when to advance and when to retreat. If Wen Han-woo was in the mood to joke with her, she would gladly entertain him. However, if Wen Han-woo directly changed the topic, she would definitely not say another word. This was the smartest thing about this chief secretary. She did not flatter him, but she simply catered to his interests. That was why she was used by Wen Han-woo for so many years. As a woman, she did not lose to any of the men in the Wen Corporation.
"I already have some leads on the information regarding Tong Xinwan in America that CEO Wen asked me to investigate previously. Because CEO Wen said that you need it urgently, I decided to call you at this time. Do you need me to fax it to you now?"
Wen Han-woo quickly replied, "Just put it in my mailbox."
He hung up and lit another cigarette. When he was done smoking, he pushed open the car door and got out. He stood in the Family Wen's garden for about five minutes until the smell of cigarettes on him was almost gone. Only then did he stride into the living room.
Once he entered, he heard a hearty female voice coming from the living room.
"Mother, is it as exaggerated as you said?"
"How is it not? You wretched girl, you've been gone for half a year. How long has it been since you came home? No matter what, don't leave this time since you're here! You've already run all over the world, haven't you? Tell me, how many years have you been gone? "
Wen Han-woo knew from Shen Lingxiu's voice that in this family, the only person who could make his grandmother smile all the time was not his father or mother, but his aunt — Wen Yuehua.
It had been a long time since he last saw her. Shen Lingxiu loved this daughter the most, but she was always running away. When Wen Han-woo was still very young, Wen Yuehua had told him that she was willing to travel all over the world, to every corner. However, she was not just saying it casually. After so many years, she had come and gone. She was indeed almost done.
"I'm not going, mother. I'm not filial enough. All these years, I've never been filial to you. This time, I'm not going to leave anymore."
"Really?"
Shen Lingxiu was overjoyed when she heard that. It was late at night, but both mother and daughter were sitting in the living room, whispering to each other for hours. Wen Yuehua told her about the strange things she had encountered outside. Although Shen Lingxiu was not happy with her daughter running around, she had to admit that she listened with great interest as she talked about it with great enthusiasm. Now that she heard Wen Yuehua say that she was not going to leave anymore, her sleepiness was completely gone and she was overjoyed.
"Hey, you said this to me yourself. You're not allowed to go back on your words. If you dare to leave again, I'll really not acknowledge you as my daughter!"
"Mother, can you bear to do that?"
Wen Yuehua chuckled. She glanced sideways and saw the man standing at the entrance. Her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up from the sofa. "Hanwoo is here?"
"Auntie."
Wen Han-woo smiled faintly. A servant came up. He took off his jacket and handed it to the servant. He walked towards the living room and casually tugged at his collar. The man's voice was very low. "You really can't leave anymore. Once you leave, Grandma will focus all her attention on me. I'm under a lot of pressure."
Wen Yuehua snorted. Although she was almost 40 years old, she had maintained herself well. On top of that, she had a very youthful mentality and the way she dressed was trendy. Therefore, she exuded a kind of youthful vigor.
She stepped forward and casually put her arm around Wen Han-woo's shoulder. She raised her beautiful brows. "Don't think that I don't know about your matters just because I'm not in City B. Our Young Master Wen, has he been plagued by lawsuits recently?"
Wen Han-woo frowned. "You're very well-informed."
"Heh, of course. Don't you know who your Auntie is? How can I not know about your news?"
Wen Yuehua used her elbow to point at Wen Han-woo's waist. She winked at him and did not look like an elder at all. "Hey, our Young Master Wen is so handsome, capable, and resourceful. Can't you even handle that wife you've been married to for six years?"
At the mention of the divorce, Shen Lingxiu looked like she had a headache. She sighed and said very objectively, "Hanwoo, I have to talk to you about this too. How many days has it been? The media outside is very fond of making groundless accusations. A few days ago, there seemed to be some reports, but they were stopped by your father. Some small reports can be stopped, but if they really make a big deal out of it, it will not be so simple. I am not worried about Wen's company. I believe in your ability, but the reputation of Wen's family cannot be affected at all. Do you understand? "
This was what Shen Lingxiu feared the most. Wen Han-woo was well aware of it. He pondered for a moment before stepping forward. He reached out to pull up his trousers and squatted in front of her. He gently squeezed the old woman's palm and said very seriously, "Grandma, I know what you're worried about. I haven't thought about the divorce in detail before, but I've thought about it these two days. I'll be careful."
Of course, Shen Lingxiu wouldn't give up after hearing his conservative words. It was so rare for her grandson to come home, and it was so rare for him to do it in front of Wen Yuehua. She knew that Wen Han-woo was closer to Shuangqing. Right now, she just wanted her daughter to talk to him and resolve this matter as soon as possible.
"This child, Xinwan, is indeed in the wrong. I have my opinions about the divorce too, but it takes two hands to clap. Hanwoo, Grandma won't force you to do anything. I did try my best to matchmake you two in this marriage six years ago, but you should know yourself. If you don't agree to it, I don't think anyone can force you. So think about it, it's already been six years.
Wen Han-woo nodded. "Grandma, I'll settle this matter. Don't worry."
As he spoke conservatively, he raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "It's already very late. Let the servants send you to rest. Isn't tomorrow the weekend? You have to go practice Tai Chi, right? You can't not rest well at night. "
It was indeed very late. Shen Lingxiu thought that her daughter was back and wasn't going to leave. Her worried heart was finally at ease. Just then, the servants came up and reminded her that she could go to rest. Only then did she get up. Wen Yuehua went up to support Shen Lingxiu. It was rare to see a woman's shy expression on her face.
"Mom, Hanwoo, since you're both here, I'll talk about that matter first."
Shen Lingxiu and Wen Han-woo didn't say anything. The two of them waited for her to continue. Wen Yuehua, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and smiled before saying slowly, "I met a man when I went out this time. He and I get along very well. Coincidentally, he's also from City B, so we came back together. I want to bring him over for you to see tomorrow. If nothing goes wrong, I'm going to marry him."
Shen Lingxiu was very surprised, but more than that, she was, of course, happy. Her daughter was getting married. That meant that she wanted to settle down. She was already past this age and had been worried that she wouldn't want to start a family. Now it was all good.
She nodded profusely. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll bring him over tomorrow for Mom to see."
After she finished speaking, she went to bed contentedly. Wen Han-woo watched his grandmother walk away before he laughed and raised his brows. "Auntie, congratulations. You're finally getting married."
"Then should I congratulate you? Are you going to get a divorce?"
Wen Han-woo frowned. He glanced at Wen Yuehua impassively. "Who said I'm going to get a divorce? I'm not getting a divorce. "
After going upstairs and taking a shower, Wen Han-woo changed into a new set of clothes. He received a text on his cell phone. It was from Chen Fangfei, telling him that the documents had been sent to his mailbox. Wen Han-woo quickly went into the study. He turned on his laptop and tapped on his mailbox. There was an unread email. He clicked on the mouse and the cursor moved across the screen. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and opened it.
The documents were all about Xinwan's years in America. It wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. Wen Han-woo looked through them carefully and spent about two hours. Actually, there wasn't anything special. It roughly described her studies and her life in America over the years. Of course, there was some information about her and Qin Fangang, but there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. It looked like he had guessed correctly — this woman and Qin Fangang's relationship wasn't simple.
This time, he was even more certain that the real reason Tong Xinwan wanted to divorce him was because of Qin Fangang.
Wen Han-woo reached out and pinched his forehead. That feeling of irritation gradually rose again. He glanced at the time on the bottom right corner of his computer. It was almost three in the morning, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. His mind was filled with that woman.
Did she already go to America?
Did she go there alone? Or did she go with Qin Fangang?
Qin Fangang, Qin Fangang again.
That night, for the first time, Wen Han-woo didn't have a good rest. However, because he had a very important meeting the next day, he still got up early. When he arrived at the company, he saw Chen Fangfei already preparing the documents. Wen Han-woo's temples were throbbing with pain. He directly asked Chen Fangfei to make him a cup of black coffee. When she brought it in, Wen Han-woo took a light sip and suddenly asked, "Is there any business in America recently?"
Chen Fangfei.
"What I mean is, if there's any business in America that you need me to go over, you can let me know in advance. I can communicate with them."
