Chapter 535 Early in the morning, digging up the grave
Wen Qingjia and Su Tianxiao waited for a long time before Wen Tingye finally arrived with Ning Yao.
Ning Moran and several neurosurgeons arrived shortly after Wen Tingye left, and waited with Wen Qingjia and Su Tianxiao.
After dropping Ning Yao off at the destination, Wen Tingye gave Wen Qingjia a few instructions and then hurriedly turned and left.
Before turning around, Ning Yao clearly saw his face, which was not good-looking at all; it was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ning Yao glanced suspiciously at Wen Tingye's departing figure, wondering what was wrong with the man.
I only received a phone call on the way. Could something have happened at the company?
"Sister-in-law, can we begin?" Wen Qingjia, disregarding her brother, grabbed Su Tianxiao's hand and walked to Ning Yao, asking anxiously.
Wen Qingjia's voice instantly interrupted Ning Yao's thoughts, and she came back to her senses.
"Alright, let's go into the room." Ning Yao nodded and led everyone into the room.
Wen Qingjia pulled Su Tianxiao and hurriedly followed Ning Yao inside.
Meanwhile, He Yu drove Wen Na to the cemetery.
After getting out of the car, Wenna looked stunned, seemingly not expecting to be brought to such a place by Wen Tingye's assistant.
Isn't this the place where her brother, Wen Shuheng, is buried?
"Miss Wenna, please hurry up, Mr. Wen is waiting for you." He Yu maintained the proper politeness towards Wenna.
"Do you know why Brother Tingye wanted to see me? And why we had to meet in a place like this?" Wenna felt vaguely uneasy, hoping to get some information out of He Yu.
But He Yu was not someone Wenna could easily get information out of; his mouth was very tight.
"You'll know once you meet Mr. Wen, Miss Wenna."
Wenna knew that if He Yu didn't want to talk, he wouldn't utter a single word even if a knife was held to his throat, so she immediately gave up.
The two walked one after the other in the cemetery. It wasn't Qingming Festival, and it was early morning, so there weren't many people coming to pay their respects. Occasionally, a few relatively fresh bouquets of flowers could be seen beside the graves, but there was hardly anyone around.
This cemetery is the most expensive in the capital city. According to feng shui masters, this land is the best feng shui site for burial.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford even the most remote corner of the cemetery here. The prices of cemetery plots are outrageously expensive; the cheapest plot can cost as much as an apartment within the Third Ring Road.
As Wen Na got closer to Wen Shuheng's tomb, her heart tightened, and her ominous premonition grew stronger.
Not far ahead was Wen Shuheng's tomb. When Wen Na looked up, she saw many people standing in front of the tomb, and they were all carrying hoes and other tools for turning over the soil.
Wen Tingye stood in front of the grave. From Wen Na's perspective, all she could see was his strong and assertive back, with sharp, angular features.
"Mr. Wen, Miss Wenna has arrived," He Yu said to Wen Tingye.
Wen Tingye turned around and glanced indifferently at Wen Na, his gaze so cold it sent chills down one's spine.
Wen Na was startled by Wen Tingye's gaze. Her heart pounded like a drum, and she lost her balance, stumbling back several steps.
"Brother Tingye, what do you want with me? Why did you come to my brother's grave?"
Wenna forced herself to calm down, not wanting to be intimidated by Wen Tingye's demeanor and lose her composure.
She's been targeting Ning Yao for a long time. If Wen Tingye really wanted to cause trouble for her and take her life because of Ning Yao, he wouldn't have waited until today. Besides, her brother died because of Wen Tingye, and Wen Tingye owes them a debt!
"What did you do today?" Wen Tingye raised his eyes, coldly glancing at Wen Na. His voice was low and piercing, as if it could penetrate one's bones, carrying an extremely strong chill.
"I...I didn't do anything. I've been at school all day and haven't gone out. If you don't believe me, you can ask my classmates. They can all vouch for me. I was in class." Wenna stammered slightly when she first started answering the question.
"Oh? You didn't do anything?" Wen Tingye walked down the steps and slowly walked towards Wen Na.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Wen Tingye was backlit, so Wen Na couldn't see his expression clearly. She only felt that the man was radiating a dark aura, as if he was extremely angry and wanted to tear her to pieces on the spot.
Wen Na was so frightened that she got goosebumps all over her body. Ever since her brother died, she had been taken to the Wen family by Wen Tingye and adopted, becoming his nominal sister. From the first time she met Wen Tingye until now, her beloved disciple had never seen Wen Tingye get so angry at her.
"Brother Tingye, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? You...you must have misunderstood something."
"Don't call me brother, you don't deserve it!" Wen Tingye stopped in his tracks and raised his face as he spoke.
The face, which was originally blurred by the backlight, suddenly became clear.
Wen Na slowly saw Wen Tingye's expression clearly. She saw in Wen Tingye's eyes a disgust that made him unwilling to get close to her. That kind of hatred was almost undisguised and went deep into his bones.
Wenna's face turned deathly pale; she didn't know what she had done wrong.
Is it really because she gave some sasaeng fans Ning Yao her schedule, giving them the opportunity to harass her, that Wen Tingye would abandon even his sister?
Is this some kind of deadly crime?
She no longer cared that Ning Yao had taken away her Tingye brother; she just wanted to teach her a lesson so she could feel better.
Wenna felt increasingly aggrieved. She looked at Wen Tingye with resentful eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Fine, I won't call you brother. I'll feel more comfortable if I don't. I've never considered you my brother!"
"You know perfectly well that I like you, yet you still get involved with that woman named Ning Yao. All she did was have a few children for you. Am I not a woman? Don't I have reproductive capabilities? Why can't you even look at me once more?"
"My brother gave his life to save you, but what about his only sister, Wen Tingye? How can you do this to my brother? Human life is so precious; once it's gone, it's gone forever!"
Upon hearing Wen Na mention Wen Shuheng, Wen Tingye narrowed his eyes sharply, his jaw muscles twitched, and a hint of danger hidden deep in his eyes suddenly surfaced. However, the emotion in his eyes was quickly masked by a mocking expression.
"Heh, birds of a feather flock together, truly worthy of being siblings." Wen Tingye scoffed coldly, each word uttered carrying a chilling, low tone.
"Wen Tingye, you've gone too far!"
"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'birds of a feather flock together'? How dare you speak to me in such a sarcastic tone? And you even said that in front of my brother..."
"Can't you see? This is my brother's grave. He's right here in the soil beneath your feet. He died saving you!"
Provoked by Wen Tingye's tone, Wen Na immediately lost her temper. Her voice was sharp, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails dug into her palms, and her face and neck were red. She was obviously very angry.
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingye glanced down at the expensive cemetery plot right at his feet.
That's right, this was indeed a prime piece of land that he bought at a high price a few years ago, just so that Wen Shuheng could receive offerings from the gods.
"It won't be like that for long." The man's thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered these words in a low, indifferent voice, displaying utter coldness.
Looking at Wen Tingye's face, one could feel a chilling disgust, a kind of nausea that had been suppressed for a long time and suddenly erupted.
"What do you mean?" Wen Na was already dizzy from Wen Tingye's attitude.
What do you mean by "soon it won't be anymore"?
Is Wen Tingye saying that this cemetery will soon no longer belong to her brother, Wen Shuheng?
She simply couldn't understand why Wen Tingye had become like this...
Could it be that he has really been bewitched by that vixen Ning Yao, to the point that he doesn't even care about the kindness of her brother?
