Qi Siran never showed up until Wen Yin left the Qi family's residence.
When Shao Yinan picked her up from the house, he noticed that her eyes still occasionally fell on the villa's entrance. Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked,
"What are you looking at?"
Although he knew that Wen Yin's relationship with Mrs. Qi had improved a lot, the Qi family wasn't the kind of place that would make her nostalgic.
"I haven't seen Qi Siran since the banquet ended last night," Wen Yin simply explained to him.
"I didn't even see her at breakfast this morning."
This didn't seem to fit her personality.
According to Qi Siran's character, shouldn't she have swaggered over to show off in front of her?
Why was she so quiet?
Seeing her confused look, Shao Yinan took out his phone and showed her the Weibo page.
"Qi Siran probably doesn't have the mood to fight with you now," he said.
"She and Wen Zhi are having a dog-eat-dog fight on the Internet. It's become public knowledge."
Wen Yin was extremely surprised. This morning, she had only opened her phone to reply to Shao Yinan's messages and hadn't deliberately checked the hot searches on Weibo.
And no one in the Qi family had mentioned it either, so Wen Yin was completely unaware of this matter.
Wen Yin took the phone and carefully read through the entire hot search.
The conclusion she drew was similar to what Shao Yinan had summarized.
It was probably Qi Siran who first exposed Wen Zhi's dark secrets, which piqued the netizens' interest.
Wen Zhi wanted to completely break off with her, so she revealed all the dirty things that Qi Siran had ordered her to do, causing her gentle rich-girl persona to collapse.
"But she mentioned the matter of the real and fake daughters in the Qi family. Won't the Qi family's public relations team do something about it?" Wen Yin asked.
Shao Yinan was steering the wheel while casually answering her question.
It seemed that he was very clear about the whole story.
"Just as I thought, no one in the Qi family wants to interfere in this matter. They're clearly letting Qi Siran fend for herself," he said.
"And I know an interesting thing. Do you want to hear it?"
Wen Yin's curiosity was piqued by his teasing tone, so she urged him to speak quickly.
But unexpectedly, Shao Yinan turned his face during the few seconds of waiting for the red light. The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smile.
"Is there any reward for me if I tell you this big bombshell?" Shao Yinan said slowly.
Anyone could tell that he had something up his sleeve.
Wen Yin had known him for so long and naturally understood the mischief in his smile.
"Or rather, if I tell you this gossip, do you have any gifts for me?" Shao Yinan squinted his eyes, and a dangerous glint filled his dark pupils.
Wen Yin wanted to hear the so - called gossip from his mouth while also gritting her teeth.
"It depends on whether your so - called gossip is worthy enough," Wen Yin said, gently tapping his chin with her index finger.
This teasing action made the darkness in Shao Yinan's eyes even more intense. He reached out and grabbed Wen Yin's mischievous little hand.
"What if you deliberately think this gossip isn't worth much?"
Wen Yin couldn't help but pout after hearing this.
She whispered her complaint.
"I'm not as untrustworthy as someone else!"
He clearly promised it would be the last time, but he ended up exhausting her until midnight!
Thinking of this, Wen Yin couldn't help but feel angry when she looked at him, and she even reached out to hit him.
"I advise you to give in quickly and tell me what you know!"
A hint of indulgence flashed in Shao Yinan's eyes, and then he said,
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. According to my previous investigation, Mrs. Qi and Qi Siran are now in a broken relationship."
"It seems that because Mrs. Qi was investigating the matter of the real daughter, Qi Siran interfered, and Mrs. Qi caught her on the spot. They parted on bad terms, and they haven't contacted each other for a long time."
Wen Yin nodded.
The time Shao Yinan mentioned was about the same time when Mrs. Qi came to find her and they had a heart - to - heart.
These were all about Qi Siran.
Including the public opinion on Weibo, Wen Zhi and Qi Siran used to be in cahoots. It was within Wen Yin's expectation that they would fall out.
After all, two arrogant people getting together wouldn't do any good. It was only a matter of time before they turned against each other.
After Shao Yinan explained it to her, he couldn't help but mention his gift.
"So do you think my information is worth your gift?"
Wen Yin proudly raised her head.
"Just barely!"
Wen Yin left after breakfast in the morning and naturally didn't notice that when everyone in the villa went out to work, Qi Siran sneaked out of the villa.
Qi Siran was fully armed. The sunglasses on her face could even cover her whole face!
She carefully observed the surrounding environment. After making sure no one was paying attention to her, she got into the taxi she had booked in advance and went to a rather secluded coffee shop.
In the private room in the corner, Father Wen was waiting there early.
Qi Siran was late.
Seeing Father Wen in front of her, Qi Siran impatiently took off her mask and sunglasses.
"What do you want from me?"
Father Wen sneered when he saw her undisguised disgust.
"Wen Zhi said that your family held a family - reunion banquet last night, and the protagonist was my daughter."
Qi Siran sneered after hearing this.
"Your daughter? Your daughter has already left your family and returned to her biological family!"
"Didn't Wen Yin ever mention this to you?"
Suddenly being hit on his sore spot by a junior, a flash of embarrassment crossed Father Wen's face.
He didn't know about this until last night. Even Wen Zheru hadn't told him!
It wasn't until Wen Zhi called him this morning that he suddenly realized that Wen Yin knew they weren't her biological parents!
Father Wen's face looked rather ugly for a moment.
He carefully sized up the gorgeously dressed woman in front of him.
He never thought that the child his wife had desperately given birth to back then was Qi Siran!
His face was pale with a sickly tinge. Father Wen thought of Mother Wen at home alone and felt worried.
Qi Siran impatiently said,
"Did you come to see me just to meet me today? Do you want me to go back to your Wen family?"
Qi Siran was used to a high - status life and naturally wouldn't go back to a lower - tier wealthy family!
Seeing Qi Siran's disdainful look, Father Wen heavily put down the coffee cup in his hand.
"No!"
