The old residence.

The house was bright.

A massive crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling of the dining room.

The rectangular dining table was filled with delicacies.

An old lady in her seventies sat at the main seat. She wore a purple skirt matched with a light-colored sweater as a string of pearls adorned her chest.

Her gray hair was neatly combed.

Although she had reached old age and her appearance was no longer the same, the aura of a noble family made her look majestic.

Wherever she sat, people would feel awe and respect her.

“Old Madam, Young Master, and Young Madam are here.”

“Okay.”

“Grandma.”

Song Xi and Wen Yu walked in together and called out in unison.

Song Xi lowered her head. In her past and present life, she could still feel the pressure from the presence of Old Madam.

“Good, sit down and eat.”

Old Madam’s straightforward answer made it hard for them to understand her.

Then, Wen Yu brought Song Xi and sat down.

After a moment, Old Madam asked, “Song Xi, how do you think the Wen family treats you?”

Song Xi was stunned by her question.

She immediately stood up. “Grandma, the Wen family has treated me very well.”

“Hmph.” Old Madam sneered. “Our Wen family is good to you, but why do you have to bite the hand that feeds you?”

Song Xi frowned slightly. “Grandma, what do you mean?”

“What do you mean? Don’t you know what have you done?”

Song Xi just remained silent.

Wen Yu asked with a scowl, “What’s wrong, Grandma?”

“What’s wrong? Ask her. What has she done? You won’t listen to me and always protect her.”

“Grandma, just tell us about it.”

Old Madam’s face became serious and cold, and she threw a stack of photos in front of Song Xi and Wen Yu.

Song Xi and Xie Ke were in the photos.

The angle was just on point, and it looked like the two of them were extremely intimate. They were holding hands and chatting merrily.

Xie Ke’s eyes were filled with gentleness.

If people were uninformed, they would have thought that they were a couple.

“You still dare to deny it. If it weren’t for the Wen family’s connections, the entire Wen family would have become a laughing stock. You still dare to deny it?”

Song Xi’s pupils constricted as she sneered in her heart. She knew that Song Nan had told Xie Ke about the incident.

Later, Xie Ke texted Song Xi, saying that he wanted to meet her at the cafe. Was it really that simple?

He really had something up his sleeve.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Old Madam stared at Song Xi and asked, “I think the Wen family has treated you well. So, how could you do such a shameful thing to the Wen Family?”

“Grandma, he’s my friend. We have known each other before. We were just chit-chatting that time.”

“But why were you two holding hands?”

“Grandma.” Wen Yu interrupted her angry questioning and said softly, “This guy loves Song Xi. He’s the one who’s pestering her.

“Am I right, Song Xi?”

When Wen Yu called out Song Xi’s name, he raised his voice, causing her heart to tremble.

She nodded. “Yes, Grandma. He’s pestering me. I’ve already rejected him many times.”

“I have already married into the Wen family. I’ll definitely live a good life with Wen Yu.”

“Wen Yu, don’t be deceived by her. This girl…”

“Grandma, before she went to see him, she told me that someone was deliberately manipulating us.

“The more we care about it, the more chaotic it will be. The happier those people will be.”

Wen Yu’s words startled his Grandma.

Her eyes flickered, and her anger dissipated a little.

These words made sense, and many people wished for the Wen family to fall.

Were they thinking of bringing down the Wen family with such a small trick?

In their dreams!

“Alright, let’s eat. Be extra careful next time.” Grandma stared at Song Xi in disappointment. “Since you have a brain, use it then.”

Song Xi lowered her head and ate silently.

Old Madam was right.

In her past life, she had a brain, but she did not fully utilize it, did she?

Song Xi felt that it was challenging for her to finish the meal because Old Madam would lecture her from time to time.

The man next to her seemed calm, but Song Xi could feel his rage.

After they finished dinner, Wen Yu directly dragged Song Xi out of the house.

When the two of them reached home, Wen Yu went straight into the study.

Song Xi knew something was wrong, so she followed him. “Listen to me…”

Before Song Xi could finish her sentence, Wen Yu was about to close the door with a cold expression.

Song Xi saw this and immediately stretched out a hand and placed it on the door frame. The door slammed on her hand the moment Wen Yu closed it..
