Chapter 614: Don’t Think You Can Intimidate Me with Your Seniority
“Miss, the director is still injured… could you please…”
Wen Xin released Alfredo and gave him a wicked smile. “Threaten me again, and I won’t spare you next time!”
After letting go of Alfredo, Wen Xin got out of the car, followed by Chu Yunxuan, and then Alfredo a moment later.
As Wen Xin stepped out of the car, everyone in the courtyard bowed respectfully to her, chanting, “Welcome home, Miss.”
Seeing Wen Xin get out of the car, Old Master Wen, leaning on his cane, walked over with a smile.
“Yatta, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell Grandpa when you returned to the Independent State? This is your home, after all—”
“I’m here for my people. You took the people I left on the island. Return them to me now,” Wen Xin cut him off, not interested in his fake concern, which she found utterly disgusting.
Alfredo, just getting out of the car, almost twisted his ankle upon hearing Wen Xin’s blunt words. He had thought Wen Xin would at least show some respect to her grandfather, but she clearly had no such intentions.
Old Master Wen’s face darkened immediately. He had expected Wen Xin to be unyielding but didn’t anticipate she would disregard his dignity so blatantly in front of everyone.
“What are you talking about? Let’s discuss this inside,” Old Master Wen said, his face losing its benevolent expression, replaced by anger. Yet, he couldn’t do anything to Wen Xin in front of so many people.
Wen Xin glanced coldly at him and walked ahead, not caring at all about his status as her grandfather.
Following behind her, Old Master Wen’s sharp eyes narrowed as he looked at Alfredo lagging behind.
“Alfredo, you can’t indulge this girl any longer. If you do, she’ll dominate you after marriage.”
Old Master Wen spoke loudly enough for everyone in the courtyard to hear, and they all looked at Alfredo with knowing smiles.
“Perhaps Old Master Wen doesn’t know? The Little Princess already has someone she loves. Our engagement… will have to be called off,” Alfredo responded.
“Ridiculous! This marriage was arranged by our parents and matchmakers. What gives her the right to call it off?” Old Master Wen shouted, his words clearly aimed at Wen Xin, trying to use his seniority to suppress her.
Wen Xin, hearing his words, stopped and turned to face both Old Master Wen and Alfredo.
“My parents died when I was five. If you want to discuss parental arrangements, you’ll have to speak with them in the afterlife. Otherwise, stop spouting nonsense.”
Old Master Wen’s attempts didn’t faze Wen Xin. If it weren’t for the fact that the Wen family still had some use, she might have destroyed it already.
“Yatta, how can you speak to your grandfather like that?” Wen Boxian, sitting in his wheelchair, scolded her with a frown.
“Uncle, how should I speak to him? Are we going to discuss etiquette? As the Eldest Miss of the Independent State, why didn’t you bow to me? And why did everyone in this courtyard stand up without my permission?”
“Shouldn’t we also discuss the rules of the Wen family?”
“Or do you think I should resign from my position as the Eldest Miss of the Independent State? In that case, even if I wanted to be arrogant, I wouldn’t have the opportunity!”
As Wen Xin’s words fell, everyone in the courtyard knelt down. Wen Boxian awkwardly saluted her from his wheelchair.
“I don’t want to argue with anyone, but some people just won’t leave me alone,” Wen Xin said, her dark eyes flashing with irritation as she walked into the villa.
Chu Yunxuan, following behind, finally understood that Wen Xin’s domineering attitude was innate. If she had Wen Xin’s status, she doubted she’d ever learn to be low-key.
Old Master Wen watched Wen Xin’s proud and upright figure, his hand gripping the cane so tightly that his knuckles turned white, though he maintained a faint smile to hide his inner rage.
“Old Master Wen, let’s discuss this inside,” Alfredo said, gently supporting the old man as they headed towards the villa.
Once inside, they saw Wen Xin lazily sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, playing a game on her phone with an air of nonchalance that drew everyone’s attention.
“Miss, would you like tea, coffee, or milk?”
“No need. I’m here to take my people and leave. If you have anything to say, be quick. I have no time to waste,” Wen Xin said, feeling annoyed just by looking at these people. She tried to focus on her game to keep her anger in check.
Old Master Wen sat opposite Wen Xin, his brows furrowed. “Look at yourself. Don’t forget, you’re a Wen. I’m your grandfather!”
Wen Xin suddenly laughed, exited her game, locked her phone, and put it in her pocket.
“You’re right. And that’s your luck. You should be grateful I’m a Wen and that you’re my grandfather. Otherwise, for what you did to Mu Chengxi, the Wen family would face a far worse fate than the Jason family.”
Her casual tone sent chills through everyone, especially Old Master Wen. He hadn’t expected the once meek Wen Xin to become so brazen.
“You…” Old Master Wen clutched his chest, pained by Wen Xin’s words, unsure of what to say next.
“Don’t be so agitated. It’s because I’m a Wen that you’ve enjoyed so many privileges. I hope I won’t be forced to give up this identity.”
