Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1805: Wei Che’s Background?

After settling Gu Yihan down, Wen Xinya felt accomplished and completely relieved.

Passing the wet market on the way home, an idea struck Wen Xinya. Thinking about how she had been busy recently and hadn’t personally cooked for Si Yiyan for some time, guilt engulfed her and she felt like she seemed to have neglected Si Yiyan.

Thus, she found a place to park her car and went to the market to buy some ingredients.

Nourishment was appropriate in winter.

Wen Xinya prepared Si Yiyan’s favorite herbal braised eel, brewed a pork ribs lotus soup, and prepared some exquisite dishes which looked as great as they tasted and could even be said to be perfect.

In her previous lifetime, Wen Xinya had already been great at cooking.

In this lifetime, due to Si Yiyan, not only was her love for cooking tireless, but she had also especially researched medicinal dishes and nutritional combinations and executed her great cooking skills perfectly.

Wen Xinya fantasized about the surprise that Si Yiyan would get when he came home to a table filled with a sumptuous lunch—it would definitely be very interesting.

As she was considering to give Si Yiyan a call, he suddenly called.

“Managed to fetch Gu Yihan out already? Did the people at the police station make things difficult for you?”

Si Yiyan knew that during the time when Gu Yihan was detained, Xinya had always been bothered by this matter. Thus, he had especially put his work aside to call and ask her about it.

Wen Xinya felt heartened as she hurriedly said, “She’s out. Everything went smoothly and I’ve settled her down in an apartment over at the western district. She promised to help the Wen Corporation groom new designers, and I think she’ll be up on her feet in no time.”

The mention of Gu Yihan made a mild, sour feeling arise in her heart uncontrollably.

Gu Yihan’s future was completely ruined and her life would be extremely arduous as she worked on getting back on her feet and restarting everything—who knew what the future held?

Si Yiyan didn’t continue asking. “You’re in the office now?”

Wen Corporation was in a tumultuous state and Xinya had been very busy recently, almost staying at Wen Corporation for the whole day every day. The two of them only met and interacted after she knocked off at night.

Wen Xinya tightened her grip on her phone. “Nope, I’m at home. You? What are you busy with now?”

Her voice subconsciously became gentler. She was like a humble wife who was concerned about her husband, getting ready to ask him to come home for lunch.

“I’m at Jiayuan. There’s an important video conference later.”

Si Yiyan sighed slightly. She was rarely not working, but he was instead caught up with work. This video conference was regarding the operation to eradicate the Korean-Chinese Alliance, so it was completely impossible to cancel it.

Wen Xinya looked at the table filled with the lunch that she had especially prepared and couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. “Then... then does it mean...”

She suddenly stopped talking as she silently reproached herself for not being understanding. Si Yiyan was busy with work—how could she feel disappointed just because he couldn’t come back for lunch?

Who was the one who swore plainly to be the woman supporting him from the back?

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and started to reflect on herself.

Joy circulated in Si Yiyan’s gorgeous eyes. “When I’m done, I’ll try my best to be home early.”

He was naturally clear about her unspoken words.

It felt good to be yearned for by a woman like this.

A smile broke out on Wen Xinya’s face, her eyes filled with the demureness of a wife. “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you!”

Saying that she hung up happily, not wanting to continue to disturb him.

***

—I’ll be waiting for you!

Her soft and gentle voice reverberated in Si Yiyan’s ears, making his harsh face to mellow down uncontrollably and his pitch-black, paint-like eyes to twinkle like the bedazzling stars in the sky.

He suddenly thought of—”The peach blossom blushes, its flowers beaming. Such a fair maiden, good for the household!”

“Dong dong dong—”

Knocking sounds on the door interrupted his thoughts. Si Yiyan’s long and narrow eyes darkened slightly as his expression went back to normal. “Come on in!”

Saying that he placed the phone in his hand back into his pocket, slowly walked to the chair in front of the office table, sat down, and leaned slightly on the back of the chair.

The sleeves of his white blouse were rolled up to his elbow, revealing clean lines, as he rested his arms on the armrest of the chair in an elegant manner.

Gu Yuehan pushed the door open, walked in, and placed a set of documents in front of him. “The name list of the Korean-Chinese Alliance members involved in the operation in Russia has been confirmed. Please take a look.”

Previously, Ninth Young Master had brought Sis-in-law to Russia. Sis-in-law had been plotted against by the Korean-Chinese Alliance under Lucifer’s rule and almost caused Lucifer and the Berveld Family to fall out.

Fortunately, Sis-in-law managed to tear the other party’s plan apart and even facilitated the cooperation between Lucifer and the Berveld Family.

After that, Ninth Young Master fumed and Lucifer welcomed a major internal clean-up that caused devastating damage. Then, he started to secretly check on the matters regarding the Korean-Chinese Alliance.

However, the circumstances in Russia were complicated with military families struggling with the dark forces—an active situation that benefited the Korean-Chinese Alliance the most. Thus, they were even more deeply concealed in Russia than China. And due to Lucifer’s extraordinary status there, their actions were restricted—otherwise, if they were to accidentally implicate the country or be sucked into the power struggles of the wealthy families, it would be rather detrimental for them.

Thus, they had been acting in the dark these few years.

When Si Yiyan received the documents, his eyes moved. “Wei Che? Have you checked on the background of this person?”

He wasn’t a stranger to Wei Che. He had met him once previously when he met Duke Moville at the Elegance Room. They were talking about critical matters with this Mr. Wei around, which showed that he was deeply trusted by Duke Moville.

However, he could already feel the maliciousness of this Mr. Wei towards him and Xinya in that one meeting.

After that, his actions had also proved this point.

Gu Yuexi said, “We’re not clear yet, except that this person has been active amongst Russia’s wealthy folk for a long time and yet can nimbly avoid Lucifer. It’s as if he’s very wary of Lucifer, yet understands Lucifer very deeply. I suspect that this person has some grudges with Lucifer.”

He was naturally clear that Ninth Young Master was concerned about this Wei Che.

He held a grudge against Wei Che for plotting against Sis-in-law previously.

It was also because of this that although Lucifer appeared to reach a cooperation with Duke Moville, Lucifer had been weakening their influence in the dark.

Now, the Moville Family had already been completely defeated.

Si Yiyan instructed. “Continue checking—we’ve to find out his background. I feel that there’s more than meets the eye to this person.”

Since this Wei Che was wary of Lucifer, why would he previously plot against Xinya then?

And he had used those extremely unscrupulous methods to send the woman that belonged to him onto another man’s bed. There was only one reason for a man to use such despicable methods on another man.

Wei Che held a personal grudge against him.

And the grudge was absolutely irreconcilable.

He had countless enemies in this lifetime, but he didn’t have any impression of a character like Wei Che—this made him very cautious.
