941: The Wen Family Gathering (1)

The Wen Family Gathering (1)

And now, she was asking such an unimaginable question.2

What Wen Ruo was doing was essentially asking Grandma Wen to compare her index finger to her ring finger and asking her which finger she liked better.

"You guys always favored her! I was much more well-behaved and understanding than her! However, just because she looked cuter and prettier than me, everyone, including our brothers liked her more! You did this as well! Whenever she visited our house, you would give more attention to her. You only cared about me when she wasn't around!"

Grandma Wen was shocked to hear this.

She never knew that her granddaughter had such thoughts.

There was a painful look on Grandma Wen's face as she attempted to explain the situation to Wen Ruo: "Wen Ruo, you're mistaken about this. Everyone also loves you. It's just that Yiling was sickly and weak as a kid. She was much smaller than all kids her age. Therefore, we looked after her a bit more. However, everything else was the same. We loved you both equally."

However, Wen Ruo refused to listen to Grandma Wen's explanation. She turned around to run away.

Suddenly, Grandma Wen realized that her beloved granddaughter's thoughts deviated from the norm.

On the weekends, Grandma Wen invited the Jian family over for dinner. The invitation was extended to Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, Jian Yunnao, and Jian Yiling.

Before accepting the invitation, Wen Nuan thought about it over and over again.

However, in the end, her parents and brothers were still part of the Wen family. She was unable to cut off relationships with people with who she had blood ties.

Those people loved her and loved her children.

The conflict was momentary whilst family love was permanent.

Wen Nuan could not bear to see her parents and brothers be in pain because of family conflict. She did not want to see any sadness on their faces.

This was especially the case because her parents were already incredibly old.

Grandma Wen listened to Grandma Jian's suggestion and decided to host a barbecue in her backyard. She invited a professional chef to cook for them.

In addition, she prepared several family games. She hoped that this could ease the conflict and tension between everyone.

When Grandma Wen saw Jian Yiling, she kindly took her granddaughter's hand: "Yiling, have you been resting lately? Why do you look so tired?"

Lately, Jian Yiling was indeed quite tired. After taking Zhai Yunsheng to Lahaisen Hospital for a checkup, she was constantly studying his heart.

In addition, there was a lot of other work in her hands. She was still working on Qin Hongzhi's medical case.

Surprisingly, Wen Yan also came downstairs to join everyone.

However, he remained silent. As a result, he did not fit in with the atmosphere.

Wen Cheng went out in the morning to deal with work-related matters. However, in the evening, he rushed back to accompany everyone else.

"Yiling, come and look at this."

Wen Cheng brought back a somewhat old item.

The thing was not big. It was made out of wood and shaped like a crossbow.

"A crossbow?" Jian Yiling said.

"Yiling's eyes are as good as always." Then, Wen Cheng asked: "Can you tell whether this is a Chinese or European crossbow?"

Jian Yiling took a closer look at the crossbow before she said: "It's a European crossbow from the medieval ages. European crossbows are rather refined. It's different from the ones from ancient Chinese days. In addition, there's a Crusades mark on this crossbow."

"Hahaha, that's right. You're completely correct. There's nothing wrong with what you said."

Wen Cheng was in a rather good mood these days.

As he had been committed to his career, he briefly forgot about his unpleasant divorce.

"Uncle Wen, where did you get the crossbow from?"

"A friend gave it to me. It's not worth much. However, it's a good decoration to have around."
