Shen Jun didn’t display surprise at her decision. He chuckled and commented,
“I had a feeling you’d choose this path.”
Wen Nian smiled in agreement. “Yes, some things seem predestined. Maybe all of this is fate’s way of arranging things?”
Fate had granted her a second chance at life, and now she had the opportunity to reshape her destiny.
Given her current abilities and background, challenging the Wei family directly was an insurmountable task. Pursuing a career in the entertainment industry was her best option. She was well-acquainted with this field, possessed acting skills honed from her past life, and even had a successful movie to her name.
She had the potential to leave a significant mark in the entertainment industry.
Furthermore, she genuinely enjoyed being an actress. It allowed her to immerse herself in different roles and fulfill her dreams.
After the two of them hung up, Wen Nian drifted off to sleep.
Perhaps it was because she suddenly felt relaxed, as she woke up only around noon.
“Are you exerting yourself too much in your third year of high school? Come on, have some of these ‘love walnuts’ I’ve peeled for you.” Her brother, Wen Yu, sat at the table with a pile of freshly peeled walnuts in front of him.
Thinking back to how their mother had made him eat walnuts during his third year of high school, Wen Yu figured that his sister must be going through the same ordeal.
“Hurry up, this small bowl is what you get today. If you want more tomorrow, you’ll have to wait until later for me to peel them.”
Seeing her brother’s playful expression, Wen Nian rolled her eyes at him.
Wen Nian realized her parents had already left. Despite the approaching new year, their shop was unusually busy, especially with the brisk sales of braised food, often selling out by morning. The two of them found themselves working tirelessly.
Recalling Shen Jun’s words from the previous day, Wen Nian decided to confide in her brother, Wen Yu, so that he could prepare himself mentally.
In truth, it wasn’t that Wen Yu was unaware of their family’s issues. His parents just hadn’t informed him. His academic load was heavy, and he usually found out about family matters through dormitory mates who had seen the news.
With a serious expression, Wen Nian recounted the suspected poisoning of their grandfather, Wen Sheng, by Wei Feng and Shen Jun’s discovery of evidence.
Wen Yu’s usual cheerful demeanor had vanished, replaced by worry. “You can’t share this with anyone, not even Mom and Dad,” he cautioned.
After a moment of reflection, he continued, “Without concrete evidence, we can’t make a move. If they destroy the evidence prematurely, we might never get justice for Grandpa.”
Wen Nian nodded in agreement. “That’s why I came to you first. When the time comes, you’ll need to keep Mom and Dad calm. If we don’t resolve this, our family could be in serious jeopardy.”
“Dangerous?” Wen Yu frowned. “We live in a lawful society. Besides, you’re a celebrity now…”
Hearing his words, Wen Nian smiled. “What kind of small celebrity am I? Even if I’m a little famous, there are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. If I don’t continue to appear in public, I’ll probably be forgotten soon.”
She paused for a moment and then said seriously, “Besides, Wei Feng dared to poison Grandpa. He will definitely attack us. He won’t allow any stains in his life. As long as the Wei family is still around, the Wen family will definitely be in danger.”
Wen Yu took a deep breath. He felt that what Wen Nian said made sense, but he still disagreed in his heart. In his heart, Wei Feng would at most suppress them, but the difference between the two families was like heaven and earth. Could it be that he really killed their family?
However, reality soon proved that Wen Nian’s thoughts were right.
Wen Yu’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and heard Zhou Mei’s anxious voice. “Is Nian Nian up? Hurry up and wake her up. She has to go back to her hometown later. Something happened to your uncle’s house!”
However, before Wen Yu could react, he asked in confusion, “Who is it? Which uncle?”
“Which uncle can there be? Wen Xun!”
Wen Yu was a little stunned. He looked at Wen Nian in disbelief. Could it be that what Wen Nian said just now had really come true?
Seeing his stunned expression, Wen Nian nudged him and signaled him with her eyes to quickly reply to his mother. Only then did Wen Yu say, “Got it.”
“Wen Nian, is what you said true? Did the Wei family cause something to happen to Uncle’s family?”
Wen Yu’s mind was spinning. When he saw Wen Xun and Li Ke go to the Wei Corporation to cause trouble in school, he thought that the two of them were really stupid. Even if there was really a matter of borrowing money, the Wei family’s prosperity was indeed the result of Wei Feng’s hard work. However, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, something would happen to his uncle’s family.
“Brother, pack up first. Let’s meet up with Dad and Mom in the shop.”
Wen Yu nodded in a daze and agreed. Wen Nian also returned to her room. However, her right eyelid kept twitching. It was probably a bad sign..
