Chapter 90 -64: Don’t Clash with Your Brother
The entire restaurant was dead silent.
Zhao Qin was somewhat dazed, not expecting that her son had reached a point where he didn’t even want to be associated with Yun Yuwan, despite the clear benefits a marriage alliance could offer.
Her son must still be resenting them.
And now they were concerned and making plans for another child.
Wen Wei had already been calculating in his mind how to give Yun Yuwan a portion of the estate through means other than a trust, considering how to avoid taxes.
After a long while,
Wen Yangzhi acted as if nothing had happened, gently placing the long-handled silver spoon on the neatly folded napkin:
“If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to Lujiazui.”
Zhao Qin was so anxious she almost stood up, “Hong Sheng, let’s talk about the trust matter later; are you coming back afterward?”
Wen Yangzhi glanced at Yun Yuwan and said indifferently, “It depends.”
However, that look, to Zhao Qin and Wen Yangzhi, meant that because of Yun Yuwan’s presence, he was unwilling to stay.
Zhao Qin felt conflicted.

The arranged marriage was to pave the way for Hong Sheng, but now, with Hong Sheng and Yuwan’s relationship so strained, how could they support each other?
She had always been petty, never allowing Yuwan and Hong Sheng to interact much. She should have let them cultivate a sibling relationship long ago.
This had delayed an important matter.
Zhao Qin was filled with regret.
Wen Wei had never expected Wen Yangzhi to react so strongly to a trust and a single word “dad.”
He had thought his son no longer cared about them but hadn’t realized that he would still be upset by their affection towards another child.
He could understand.
But was he supposed to neglect Yuwan for his son’s overtures?
She was the only remaining trace of Wanyi in this world.
Meanwhile, worrying and anxious, Zhao Qin and Wen Wei regretted how badly the relationship between Yun Yuwan and Wen Yangzhi had turned out, wondering how they could quickly resolve the predicament and bring Yun Yuwan and Wen Yangzhi closer together.
Wen Yangzhi’s hand was still resting on Yun Yuwan’s upper thigh, composed and calm, as if his hand was born to be there.
As the situation became increasingly tense, Zhao Qin suddenly found an excuse in a moment of desperation: “Doesn’t the bank need to design a new custom card? Your sister is an art prodigy, and designing a logo for a co-branded card is no problem for her. How about letting your sister accompany you to the bank for a few days?”
With a clang, Yun Yuwan was so shocked that she dropped her spoon back into the white porcelain bowl.
The aunt was letting her go to work with her brother??
She almost couldn’t believe she’d heard right, doubting that Qin Auntie would allow her to follow Wen Yangzhi.
After all, her aunt had always been lukewarm towards her, and there seemed to be subtle resistance to her interacting with her brother.
Right now, Zhao Qin didn’t care about that; she was just watching Wen Yangzhi’s reaction.
Yuwan thought Wen Yangzhi would be pleased, but to her surprise, Wen Yangzhi gave her a cool glance, then indifferently returned his gaze elsewhere:
“A suitable designer has already been hired; there’s no need to go to great lengths. She’s not suitable for working at the bank.”
His words were too unfeeling, not giving her any face. Zhao Qin, in a moment of thoughtlessness, blurted out, “Hong Sheng, your sister really excels in painting, and you used to love drawing too. Your sister will surely have a lot of common ground with you.”
No sooner had she spoken than Zhao Qin realized her mistake.
Even the housekeeper standing behind her frowned.
Wen Yangzhi shifted slightly in his seat, leaning back a little, but his eyes remained fixed on Zhao Qin: “Common ground?”
His look was calm, yet carried an authoritative edge that made Zhao Qin feel unsettled.
Ten years ago, it was them who had broken Hong Sheng’s leg.
Now, in an attempt for him to get along with another child, they were using his love for painting as leverage.
Hong Sheng must have felt so cold-hearted.
“Common ground”? From the moment he was forced to quit studying art, he had never touched a paintbrush again; how could there still be common ground?
Now that their son no longer liked to paint, how could he possibly like someone who paints?
She wanted to help, but her help only made things worse.
Seeing the situation turn into a deadlock, Wen Wei internally lamented his failure to manage his children’s relationship, which had led to Hong Sheng’s current aversion to Yuwan.
If he had let Yuwan join the family back then, he should have made Hong Sheng spend time with and teach his sister about the ways of the world, attend more social events together, and maybe things wouldn’t have turned out this way today.
He also hated his own narrow-mindedness. If he had been upfront about raising Yuwan as his own daughter instead of glossing it over as foster care until adulthood, Hong Sheng’s attitude towards Yuwan wouldn’t have been so casual. Perhaps over the seven years, they could’ve reconciled and cultivated a sibling bond.
Finally, Wen Wei spoke up: “Let the sister get some experience; she hasn’t seen much of the world and needs her work to be recognized in the country. Let her stay at the bank for a couple of days.”
