Crossing the line

Chapter 109 I think
Old lady Zhu nodded in approval: "You are very modest."

Although there wasn't much expression, the praise was different. Zhu Nongzhang could hear that his grandmother's opinion of him had truly changed.

People at the table were talking quietly.

"Nong Zhang and Yu Wan get along pretty well."

"Nong Zhang has grown up and knows how to entertain guests."

"Being able to play with Yu Wan will definitely be influenced by her to some extent. It seems that I have to let my girl get closer to Yu Wan."

Zhu Nongzhang's face turned slightly red and he sat back in his original seat, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Yun Yuwan was completely different from twenty minutes ago. There was no hostility anymore, but instead he was cautious and hesitant, hesitating about how to say thank you.

Zhao Qin passed by Zhu Nongzhang and patted her on the shoulder. Although she didn't say anything, Zhu Nongzhang finally realized that her thinking had been wrong all along.

Only by getting along well with Aunt Qin's daughter could she have a chance to share that little bit of maternal love that did not belong to her. Yun Yuwan didn't mind sharing it with her at all. She regarded Yun Yuwan as an imaginary enemy.

I wish you a trance.

Zhu Qing'an arrived late, with a big belly, and sat directly in the empty seat next to Yun Yuwan.

She patted Yun Yuwan's arm gently: "Yuwan, help me get that."

Zhu Qingan's belly was already seven months pregnant and she couldn't reach the table, so Yun Yuwan got her a plate of salad.

Zhu Qing'an put the plate on his stomach, using his stomach as a dining table to place the plate.

Seeing Yun Yuwan: "?"

Zhu Qingan lowered his voice: "How are you and your brother doing recently?"

"It's pretty good." Yun Yuwan was a little embarrassed, and her ears turned red like crabapples.

Zhu Qingan stirred the sauce and salad: "I really didn't expect that he would find a girlfriend. I thought he would end up alone because he wouldn't allow anyone to touch him."

Yun Yuwan didn't understand and hesitated for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Qingan stuffed some grass into his mouth and said indistinctly, "You don't know, your brother is the person with the strongest sense of boundaries that I have ever seen. He won't want anything we touch without his permission, even if it's just using his pen to write something."

Yun Yuwan thought she had misheard: "Huh?"

Zhu Qingan didn't take it seriously at all: "Isn't it? Besides, if his friends guess what he wants, he won't be happy even if he guesses it right. He doesn't like others to expose his thoughts in public. He is the person who dislikes surprise gifts the most."

The Wen Yangzhi she was talking about seemed to have nothing to do with the Wen Yangzhi that Yun Yuwan knew.

Yun Yuwan was stunned for a moment.

Then he also gave her all kinds of surprises.

Zhu Qingan used a fork to pierce the onion inside and said, "He doesn't allow us to change anything of his. Even when we play chess together, he can do it by himself, even if he has to calculate and arrange the chess pieces by himself."

"But the brother I met was not like this." Yun Yuwan found it unbelievable.

If that's the case, since she keeps rummaging through her brother's things, won't her brother throw her out?

But speaking of throwing it away, Yun Yuwan suddenly remembered.

Wen Yangzhi's cousin Wen Wan also said that when Wen Yangzhi had something on his mind, he would only go to the church and talk to the priest through the curtain.

Wen Wan took his teddy bear, and he grabbed Wen Wan's collar and threw her into the fountain.

It turned out that it wasn’t because Wen Yangzhi was difficult to get along with, but because he didn’t like others touching his things.

So he didn't allow anyone else to enter Jinglou, and she was the only one in the family who had entered from beginning to end.

Yun Yuwan murmured in astonishment: "But he never treated me like that. I could touch his things at will, and he never said anything about me..."

Before Yun Yuwan finished speaking, Zhu Qing'an sighed, "It's tragic. Wen Yangzhi has fallen in love."

But Yun Yuwan was shy and a little confused, and felt that it was not just because he liked her.

Can I tolerate so much just because I like her?

Moreover, Wen Yangzhi would express his feelings to her, and sometimes even say it very clearly, such as "I love you" and "why I like you".

Wen Yangzhi would even teach her things that she didn't understand.

There is no sense of his extremely strong sense of boundaries at all.

It felt like there was something she didn't know.

Even if I am used to keeping a distance from people, how could this be possible?
Yun Yuwan couldn't help but ask, "My brother is so difficult to get along with, why are you still friends with him?"

Zhu Qingan used a fork to pick at the plate:

"Your brother just doesn't like others crossing the line, but he's pretty good to his friends. He'll basically help out when there's something wrong, and he's reliable in big matters. Everyone has their own temper, and your brother just doesn't like others touching his things."

This is consistent with Wen Yangzhi's opinion.

Zhu Qingan took time out of his busy schedule to look at her while eating: "He treats you quite differently. I thought he would set a lot of rules and regulations with you."

Yun Yuwan said truthfully: "In fact, at the beginning, he didn't allow me to enter Jinglou."

"And you never went in?" Zhu Qing'an asked as a matter of course.

Yun Yuwan's face turned red: "In."

Wen Yangzhi carried her in directly.

Zhu Qingan said, "You may be your brother's favorite person in the world. I have never seen him treat anyone like this."

There are many things that Yun Yuwan is able to do that, if they were done by others, would probably result in nothing left.

Zhu Qingan put down the plate and wiped his mouth carefully: "Do you want to go out for a walk? I'll take you for a stroll in the Zhu family."

Yun Yuwan looked at her huge belly and was a little afraid to think: "Is it convenient for you to do this?"

"I have to walk back and forth to the Zhu family many times every day. If I keep lying down all the time, I won't have the strength to give birth. Do you think I lie down every day?" Zhu Qing'an held his waist and stood up.

She ran away at a very fast pace. Yun Yuwan almost couldn't catch up with her, so she hurriedly followed her out.

Zhu Qingan strolled around: "The Zhu family's courtyard has five levels, which is what we used to call a five-entry house."

She took Yun Yuwan and walked into the second entrance, a door with auspicious clouds and auspicious meanings that was more than two people tall. On both sides were oriental pillars that were square at the bottom and round in the middle. The sides of the door were planted with lucky bamboos.

"It's different from the typical Shanghai-style architecture of the Wen family. My grandmother doesn't like those foreign customs. You see, the Zhu residence is very different from your home, right?"

When Yun Yuwan heard the word "your home", she felt a sense of unfamiliarity: "It's very different."

When we got to the terrace on the second floor, it was called a terrace, but in fact it looked more like a large garden. The railings extended in the shape of waves, and looking down we could see the guests coming and going.

Dark green and light white osmanthus flowers climb on the red brick wall, and windmill jasmine directly coils on the door of the corridor. The original wooden frame of the door is invisible, and it looks like the windmill jasmine has formed a door itself.

Zhu Qingan sat down under a beach chair shaded by blue bamboo, next to which were light blue Endless Summer hydrangeas.

There is a fountain not far away, which is three or four meters deep from the ground floor to the second floor. From downstairs you can see small fish swimming in the fountain through the transparent glass.

She waved at Yun Yuwan: "Come and sit down."

She called the concierge and asked him to bring two glasses of soda water. Yun Yuwan looked at the flowers in the courtyard. She had never seen such a beautiful sky garden in the Zhu family before.

Zhu Qingan touched her big belly and said, "Grandma has told the guards, you can walk around the Zhu family freely from now on. I think you will like this garden."

Yun Yuwan nodded: "It's so beautiful. I also want to have my own sky garden."

Zhu Qingan smiled so hard that his double chin showed: "Yeah, grandma also said you would like it."

Yun Yuwan then realized that it was Grandma Zhu who wanted Zhu Qing'an to take her out for a walk.

No wonder.

Yun Yuwan was still looking when a tall, thin, blue-eyed man saw Yun Yuwan and was impressed at first sight. He stepped forward and said hello:
“How are you doing?”

Although she didn't know him, Yun Yuwan smiled and nodded politely: "I'm okay."
The man looked her up and down, not sparing his praise: "You look so great."

Yun Yuwan unconsciously looked at Zhu Qingan, who introduced with a smile: "This is Danny, the eldest son of the executive director of the Magoo Bank. He is of Chinese and American descent, and his mother has some ties to my grandmother."

Yun Yuwan realized that he was in the banking industry. As a mixed-race Chinese-American, it was normal for him not to speak Chinese.

She smiled and held out her hand: "Hi, Denny, I'm Millie."

The other party seemed to be very friendly and shook her hand, but she didn't expect the next sentence to be straightforward: "Do you wanna go out with me?"

Yun Yuwan was a little stunned, and Zhu Qingan was also very surprised.

So direct? He is really obsessed with sex.

Yun Yuwan chuckled and refused: "Sorry, I'm seeing someone now."

Wen Yangzhi sat in the car, and the lights poured into the rear window like waves.

The driver wasn't sure how long it would take, so he asked, "Director Wen, do you want me to find a place to park and wait for you?"

Wen Yangzhi didn't even raise his head, looking at the work message: "No need, just wait at the door."

Danny didn't expect to be rejected by a yellow-skinned girl. He smiled and said, "Are you sure?"

Although she felt that the other party was not very friendly, Yun Yuwan hesitated for a moment and remained friendly:
“Yep, because I am actually in a relationship.”
But I didn't expect Danny's next sentence to be contemptuous:
"You're a dork."

Yun Yuwan didn't expect the other party to be so rude.

After all, they are acquaintances of acquaintances, so there is some connection.

But when I saw his blue eyes, I immediately understood why. In foreign countries, many white men don’t feel bad when they are rejected by white girls, but they will get angry and embarrassed when they are rejected by yellow-skinned girls.

Because in the eyes of some white men, yellow-skinned girls are easy girls. Chatting with them is a blessing and a way of lowering one's status. They should be grateful for coming to them. Why should they reject themselves like white girls?

They look down upon the yellow race.

But she didn't expect Danny to be like this. The people coming and going at this party were more or less related, and most of them were either rich or noble.

Wen Yangzhi asked the concierge, entered the second door, and walked up the stairs.

The concierge happened to be carrying the soda water that Zhu Qing'an ordered and almost bumped into Danny. In addition, he was stimulated by Yun Yuwan and picked it up directly. The concierge thought he was going to splash it on himself and was startled, but unexpectedly, Danny splashed it directly on Yun Yuwan.

The white skirt that Yun Yuwan was wearing became transparent in an instant, and the shape of her underwear was clearly visible.

She subconsciously covered herself.

And Danny's eyes roamed over her unkindly.

It's like he's saying, so what if he doesn't want to? He's still going to see it.

Zhu Qingan was anxious all of a sudden. However, with such a big belly, it was fine for her to sit down. However, it was a bit difficult for her to stand up from the beach chair. “Denny, what are you doing!”

When Wen Yang went upstairs and reached the garden bridge, he saw Yun Yuwan standing there talking to someone. Then the person opposite picked up a cup and splashed water on her.

His eyes darkened and he immediately strode forward. Before anyone could see, he took off his coat and wrapped Yun Yuwan tightly.

Yun Yuwan looked up at the person who came and said in surprise, "Brother."

But before Yun Yuwan could react, Wen Yangzhi had already let go of her, grabbed Danny's collar and pushed him towards the fountain.

Danny was caught off guard and tried to resist, but Wen Yangzhi was obviously taller than him, and he pressed forward with big strides and a fatal blow. Danny couldn't even keep up with his steps and was almost carried away, with only his toes dragging on the ground.

When they reached the fountain, Wen Yangzhi just let go of his hand and Danny thought he was going to let him go.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yangzhi raised his long legs and kicked the defenseless Danny into the fountain with a powerful kick. The fountain water splashed everywhere and a huge wave was created inside.

The fountain pool was three or four meters deep. Danny fell to the first floor in the fountain pool. Many guests on the first floor saw a person suddenly appear in the deep glass pool.

The night was dark and screams could be heard all around.

"Someone, help!"

"what----"

"Where in the world is there a person?"

Yun Yuwan covered her mouth in shock, looking at Wen Yangzhi's cold and tall back, unable to believe that it was Wen Yangzhi who did it.

Wen Yangzhi's face was tense and cold as he stood by the fountain pool which was three or four meters deep, looking down at him.

The servant came to ask if he wanted to save the person, and Wen Yangzhi said coldly, "No need."

Danny struggled several times in the fountain pool before he came up. He choked on the water several times before he could barely touch the fountain pool pipe. He was soaked all over. He hugged the pipe and shouted angrily:

"What's the big deal! It's just a joke."

(What's the big deal? It's just a joke)

Wen Yangzhi just stared at him. He knew that Maigu's Danny always played around, but he didn't expect to run into Yun Yuwan: "You're under my roof now, that is my girl."
Danny retorted contemptuously: "Do you think MGbank needs to suck up to Wen'sBank? I'm above you everywhere."

(Do you think that Magu Bank needs to flatter Wen's? I am superior to you in every way.)
But Wen Yangzhi looked at him with a cold expression.

A lot of people gathered upstairs and downstairs, all surrounding the fountain, watching and talking.

Wen Yangzhi had no intention of retreating, and Danny had no doubt that once he got ashore, Wen Yangzhi would kick him down again.

Danny finally realized that Wen Yangzhi had no intention of letting him go easily, and that he was being laughed at by many people.

He finally managed to say something to seek temporary peace, but he still put on a high profile:
"Listen! I don't want to make a big deal out of it, just for a girl."
Unexpectedly, Wen Yangzhi raised his foot and stepped on Danny's head with his brown handmade brogues and derby shoes. His voice was cold and heavy:
“I do want.”

In full view of the crowd, everyone present gasped.

An autumn breeze blew, and Yun Yuwan, whose inner skirt was soaked, shivered slightly. She didn't expect Wen Yangzhi to be so angry and go to this extent.

She looked at Wen Yangzhi's tall back, standing by the fountain, with no intention of sparing Danny.

She was afraid of offending other banks, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wen Yangzhi's hand, hugging his arm in Wen Yangzhi's cold and gloomy atmosphere:

"Forget it, brother, he is from the Megu Bank, don't offend Megu for me."

Unexpectedly, Wen Yangzhi pushed the struggling Danny even harder into the water.
