Second Watch.
----------
When Zhou Mikang saw Wei Xuejun, he guessed there must be a reason for his visit, and now hearing Qin Baonian, he knew he wasn’t wrong.
They went to the cafeteria, got their food, and found a vacant table to sit at. The once lively cafeteria quickly fell silent, leaving only the sound of chewing, as if everyone could hold their breath rather than breathe.
At this point, saying anything wouldn’t relax the soldiers, so they chose to eat in silence, finishing their al in three minutes with absolute combat speed.
Qin Baonian excused himself for digestion and took a turn towards the playground, with Xu Zhenghong quickly following.
"Director Wei, you’ve co specifically about Lin Wenbin and Wei iyan, haven’t you?" Zhou Mikang didn’t wait for Wei Xuejun to speak, nor did he beat around the bush, directly voicing his suspicion.
"Xiao Zhou..." Wei Xuejun shook his head with a bitter smile, "I’m embarrassed. If there were any other way, I wouldn’t want to interfere, but Old Master Ye has already spoken, so I have to oblige."
"I understand." Zhou Mikang nodded, "What’s Old Master Ye’s intention?" He couldn’t believe Old Master Ye would force Lin Wenbin to marry a woman who abandoned him but now wants to repent. How shaless would that be?
"Old Master Ye didn’t anticipate that iyan would do such a thing. It was her choice back then, but now she’s dissatisfied with her life and wants to marry into the Lin Family again. How is that possible?
After noticing her intentions, the elders in the family advised her, and we considered reaching out to the Lin family mbers, but the incident leading to the cut-off between our families back then makes visiting them now likely to cause misunderstandings.
Moreover, the Wei Family hasn’t been able to compare with the Lin Family over these years..." Wei Xuejun sighed and continued, "Old Master Ye values face, and in this situation, it makes it even harder to visit the Lin Family.
Later, he chatted with Grandpa Wang and found out about your relationship with Lin Wenbin, which prompted him to think of resolving this through you. Old Master Ye hopes you can speak to Lin Wenbin and advise him not to agree to any of Wei iyan’s demands.
Even if Lin Wenbin ends up cursing or beating Wei iyan, the Wei Family won’t bla Lin Wenbin. Old Master Ye explicitly told to tell you that Wei iyan is no longer the innocent girl she once was.
Nowadays, she would do anything to achieve her goals. Old Master Ye doesn’t want Wenbin to be deceived by her, fearing it’ll be even harder to let go in the future. Old Master Ye doesn’t want..." After a pause, with a glance at Zhou Mikang’s expression, he continued, "Old Master Ye doesn’t want the Wei Family to beco a laughingstock."
Given Zhou Mikang’s keen intelligence, he realized that the simple statent insinuated that the Wei Family doesn’t want another Ye iru incident.
Yet, Zhou Mikang appreciated Old Master Ye’s stance.
The granddaughter is grown and has her own ideas, impossible to control. Therefore, they communicated her thoughts to the other party, leaving them to handle it themselves.
This way, it neither pressures the other side nor deprives them of choice. Regardless of the outco, it’s the other’s choice, and no one else is to bla.
Ultimately, this is a test for Lin Wenbin, to see if he’s decisive.
Although he consistently said he had no feelings for Wei iyan, only guilt, when it cos to emotions, as long as they aren’t confird, can anyone truly say who owes whom?
Years passed, Wei iyan experienced a failed marriage, realized Lin Wenbin’s worth, and now wants to return to him. If Lin Wenbin offers even a glimr of hope, she will surely invest a hundredfold effort to entangle him.
Eventually, whether or not she succeeds, he doesn’t know. He only knows that if she does succeed, Lin Wenbin’s life might be ruined, and the Lin Family would lose its past harmony.
An honorable wife is not just an empty phrase.
At this mont, he deeply felt how similar Lin Wenbin’s experiences were to his own, having encountered Ye iru as he faced Wei iyan; those two might as well be sisters!
Nonetheless, Ye iru has been quite well-behaved recently, staying ho recuperating after her miscarriage, only returning to hospital work a few days ago.
Old Master Ye specifically ca to inform him, reassuring him that Ye iru has given up on him and promised the family she’ll learn to be a good person.
Whether she can achieve it, he doesn’t know, but currently, things seem to be okay. Regardless, he won’t involve himself in anything related to her, whether Grandpa Ye discusses it with him or not.
