Chapter 47 – My Daughter is a Mistress (part 7)

Time flew by. Eight years passed in a flash. All the people in the Wen family had undergone drastic changes.

First of all, Wen Cai Er was admitted into the university she had gone to in her previous life, but her grades were a lot better and she could choose her major. After graduation, she had continued to do graduate studies. She had many pursuers, but she kept herself clean.

Li Su took part in several well-known fashion design competitions at Wen Yuan Mo’s suggestion. She achieved good rankings and her reputation had increased. Later, she set up a studio called Er Yue Chun Feng, which went the high-end, private customisation route. Her business was pretty good.

Wen Yuan Mo was also admitted to university. Of course, it couldn’t compare to Wen Cai Er’s. It was just a third-rate college. His greatest interest was to make money. He took care of Li Su’s studio. Wen Yuan Mo had a talent for investing. When he was 18, Li Su gave him his bank card. He bought a few stocks and made a lot of money.

Nowadays, in addition to running Er Yue Chun Feng, Wen Yuan Mo also opened a hot pot restaurant and his business was very good. Last year, he bought an Audi. There were also a lot of girls who wanted to date him. It was a pity that Wen Yuan Mo had high standards now, so he didn’t like the girls in his school. He fell in love with one of Wen Cai Er’s classmates, a cold beauty with a cold temperament. He was currently pursuing her, but unfortunately everyone thought that he was too young and treated him like a younger brother.

“Older sis, mum asked me to take you home for dinner. Eh, Qin Ya is also here. How about we go together?” Wen Yuan Mo was leaning against the car. His eyes lit up when he saw Su Qin Ya walking next to Wen Cai Er.

Su Qin Ya glanced at Wen Yuan Mo, then ignored him. “Cai Er, I’ll head off. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Mm, goodbye,” Wen Cai Er said with a smile.

“I haven’t seen you for a few days. Qin Ya is even more beautiful!” Wen Yuan Mo sighed.

“Fine? Just drive, isn’t mum waiting?” Wen Cai Er said helplessly. She had told Yuan Mo multiple times that he wasn’t Qin Ya’s type, but he just wouldn’t listen.

Just as Wen Yuan Mo was about to get in the car, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong, almost like someone was spying on them. He looked around and found nothing unusual. However, he was familiar with this feeling since he was young as his older sister was beautiful, so there were many people who spied on her. His older sister had become accustomed to it, but he always felt uneasy.

Wen Yuan Mo got into the car and asked, “Has there been anyone pestering you recently?”

Wen Cai Er thought about it. “It’s the same. Every day, people give me flowers, gifts, and ask me to go eat with them. I don’t like them, so I reject all of them.”

Wen Yuan Mo looked outside again. “Be careful. Don’t come out alone and remember to bring the pepper spray and the siren with you. Call if you need anything. I will pick you up when I can.”

Wen Cai Er smiled and nodded. “I know. Qin Ya is always with me.”

Wen Yuan Mo was a little relieved. “Look at you. You are too useless. Look at Qin Ya. She is smart, beautiful, and a master of taekwondo. If you hadn’t had Qin Ya since the beginning… You, you, you, what would you do?!”

Wen Cai Er pursed her lips and smiled. “Qin Ya has been learning taekwondo since she was eight, so I can’t compare.” She is very grateful to Qin Ya. When she had first come to the capital for university, she had been blocked by some gangsters when she was studying. Qin Ya had saved her. Since then, they had become good friends. Because of Qin Ya’s protection, she didn’t have any problems in college for the past few years.

“If you were as capable as Qin Ya, mum and I wouldn’t be so worried!” Wen Yuan Mo said.

Wen Cai Er smiled.

When he got home, Wen Yuan Mo quietly told his concerns to Li Su. “My older sis is too naïve. We should marry her quickly so that my future brother-in-law can worry about her.”

“There are a lot of people pursuing her. Why doesn’t she like any of them?” Li Su asked. Li Su checked the timeline. Tang Sheng Xuan should have appeared by now, right? There wasn’t much written about this part. She only knew that Tang Shen Xuan and his wife had chosen Wen Cai Er a long time ago. Could it be now?

But Wen Cai Er was different now. She did not go to graduate school. She worked after graduating and the money she earned every month was used to help the family. If one was to speak of a boyfriend who broke up due to money issues, then Tang Sheng Xuan appearing would be like a beacon of light.

Now, things were different and it was unlikely to happen!

“What does my older sister like?” Wen Yuan Mo thought.

“Forget it! Fate is a fickle thing. It’s impossible to say.” Li Su also had a headache. She didn’t know if she had overcorrected Wen Cai Er’s perspective over the past few years. Wen Cai Er had paid special attention to how she interacted with the opposite gender. There were a lot of people chasing her and Wen Cai Er showed no interest in any of them. From memory, it was around this time where Wen Cai Er and Chen Ke talked about marriage. But, in this life, she had never heard about Chen Ke from Wen Cai Er.

Wen Cai Er was 26 this year and she had never even talked about love. Li Su didn’t think that getting married was the only goal for women, nor did she think that women should get married and have kids at the right age. She just thought that girls should enjoy love at the best age so that they can live through these experiences and learn.

“Do you know a suitable person to introduce to your older sister?” Li Su asked.

Wen Yuan Mo smiled. “Come on. My friends want to chase my sister, but they are not good enough!”

Li Su rolled her eyes. “So you know. I thought you didn’t. What kind of friends do you have?! Hey, by the way, did you find the designers I asked you to find?”

“I have a lot of contacts and a few look good. But, compared to you, mum, I always feel that it’s a bit worse and lacking.” Wen Yuan Mo peeled an orange and ate it.

Li Su smiled. “It will be better if you have more experience.”

“Mum, the food is ready. Come eat,” Wen Cai Er called out from the dining room.

“Okay, coming.”

Li Su and Wen Yuan Mo went over. Wen Cai Er smiled and asked, “Mum, what were you talking to Wen Yuan Mo about?”

“We were talking about how you haven’t brought a boyfriend home,” Li Su said grumpily. “I’m not urging you to get married, but you are at the prime age. You haven’t had any crushes. You just hold a book all day!”

Wen Cai Er smiled. “I haven’t met the right one! Mum, you have worked hard. Auntie made your favourite sweet and sour ribs. Eat more.” Wen Cai Er quickly gave Li Su a piece of the sweet and sour ribs.

Li Su glanced at her and didn’t continue. She was a very enlightened mother!

Wen Cai Er went back to the dormitory. Su Qin Ya was reading under the light and when she saw Wen Cai Er come in, she asked, “Did your younger brother send you back?”

Wen Cai Er changed her shoes and put the bouquet of roses on Su Qin Ya’s table. “Here, Yuan Mo wants to give this to you. He was clamouring to come in and was scolded by the auntie.”

Su Qin Ya glanced at the flowers and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes. “Your younger brother still hasn’t given up?”

Wen Cai Er laid down on the bed. “I’ve told him so many times, but he only said that it’s his choice to like you. So, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Su Qin Ya sighed slightly. Wen Yuan Mo was very persistent. His pursuit did not bother her. She couldn’t say much.

“What about you? What’s the matter? It looks like you have something on your mind,” said Su Qin Ya.

“My mum asked me why I haven’t fallen in love yet. Qin Ya, do you think I should really fall in love? Otherwise, my mother will worry about me,” Wen Cai Er asked. She turned over and lay on the pillow.

“There are so many people chasing you. Just pick one. It’s just falling in love, not marriage. You don’t have to think too much,” said Su Qin Ya.

A trace of embarrassment and pain flashed in Su Qin Ya’s eyes. She didn’t speak.

Wen Cai Er realised that her problem seemed to offend her friend. She hurriedly rose and said, “Hehe, there is nothing wrong with being alone. Let’s not talk about it. I’ll go wash my face.”

Su Qin Ya nodded and went back to reading.

Wen Cai Er’s life continued. On this day, she had no classes in the afternoon and Su Qin Ya had gone home. It was boring to stay in the dormitory and she was tired from reading. She wanted to go shopping. Her mother’s birthday was coming up, so she went to the mall to pick a gift for her mother.

It just so happened that Wen Cai Er was unlucky and her bag was stolen from her as soon as she was in front of the mall. When she went to chase after the thief, she accidentally sprained her foot. Her wallet and cell phone were in her bag and she was in a hurry.

At this moment, a man helped her up and asked softly, “Are you okay? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

Wen Cai Er saw that the thief hadn’t run far yet. The man didn’t chase after the thief, but chose to squat in front of her to show his enthusiasm. She was very angry. “If you really want to help me, then get my bag back?!”

Tang Sheng Xuan blinked. Did she want him to do something lowly like chase after a thief in public? Wasn’t it just a bag? Although it was from LV, it was just an entry-level model and wasn’t worth much. As for being nervous? The Wen family had some money, but it was the same in the end. For a family like theirs, the son was the one who inherited the family business. Although the daughter was equally loved, she still wasn’t as good as the son. However, it is good to have a weakness because then one could be controlled.

While Tang Sheng Xuan lowered his head to think, a young man had already caught up to the thief. With the help of the enthusiastic crowd, he caught the thief and took back Wen Cai Er’s bag!
