Chapter 343 A Clever and Mischievous Younger Brother
Wen Aixiu watched helplessly as the best gems at the entire charity auction were snatched up by others, and he felt particularly bad.
He originally wanted to take a picture of Rainbow Moon to give to his mother, but now, the bad guys have stolen it.
If Daddy had won the bid, Wen Aixiu wouldn't be so upset. But it's a complete stranger, someone whose background he doesn't even know.
"Why is this person's name so strange? What's the pronunciation of that character?" Wen Aixiu asked.
"Si Si (pronounced si, fourth tone), this name is usually given to girls."
Girls shouldn't steal other people's things, especially things he planned to give to his mother. Wen Aixiu was so angry that her ears turned red.
The attendant and butler noticed Wen Aixiu's displeasure. Seeing the young master's eyes redden, he couldn't bear it and stepped forward.
"Young Master, there are many other exhibits later, which are not much inferior to the Rainbow Moon Gem. Would you like to take a look?"
Wen Aixiu remained silent, his face expressionless and sullen, except for his eyes, which were as red as a rabbit's.
Ning Yao happened to return to the private room from the exhibition booth outside, with Ning Duoduo by her side.
Wen Aixiu quickly turned his face away, worried that Ning Yao would see his weakness. At the same time, Wen Aixiu also felt strange. According to his mother's personality, she should really like that Rainbow Moon Gem.
Don't women all love delicate, sparkling gemstones?
But why didn't Mommy show any disappointment? That was the most expensive and best item at today's charity auction, and it was just snatched away like that.
Mommy must be sad, but she's keeping it to herself.
Wen Aixiu forced himself to hold back his tears. Boys shouldn't cry; he should focus on helping his mother get her favorite things.
Thinking this, Wen Aixiu made a move to run out of the private room, but Wen Tingye spotted her at a glance. At the young master's signal, the attendant butler grabbed the young master who was about to run out.
"I need to go to the bathroom, why are you holding me? Are you going to rebel?" Wen Aixiu struggled a few times, but her small arms and legs were no match for the strength of an adult.
Hearing the noise, Ning Yao immediately noticed her son.
At this moment, her son's pretty little face was covered in tears, his dark eyes were glistening with moisture, and his little mouth was pouting silently, which made Ning Yao's heart ache.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yao gestured to the attendant butler to release Wen Aixiu, then stepped forward and picked him up, her voice gentle as water.
Upon seeing Wen Aixiu cry, Wen Tingye raised an eyebrow, his eyes silently conveying a warning, and his whole body radiating coldness.
Wen Aixiu was already feeling wronged, and seeing his father being so fierce only amplified his sense of grievance.
Daddy glared at him, even though he hadn't won the fight himself, and he was still glaring at him!
Noticing that Wen Aixiu was looking at Wen Tingye, Ning Yao unconsciously shrank her shoulders. Following her son's gaze, she saw Wen Tingye with a cold expression.
Ning Yao glared at Wen Tingye with resentment. Why is he keeping such a long face? Look how scared he's made his son.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to buy the Rainbow Moon Gem for you, but someone robbed it," Wen Aixiu explained, revealing the reason for his unhappiness.
"Rainbow Moon Gem? Oh, you mean that billion-dollar gem? Mommy doesn't like that. Mommy has other things she likes. How about Aishu buys it for Mommy later?" Ning Yao figured out why her son was unhappy and immediately smiled.
It's just a gemstone. If one of our own people had bought it for such a high price, she would probably be heartbroken.
Fortunately, it wasn't one of our own people who bought it; the sucker was someone else!
"You really don't like it? If you do, I can send someone to snatch it for you. At worst, I'll make Daddy pay him back!"
“I really don’t like it. Look, Mom likes this painting. You can buy it for Mom later.” Ning Yao said, taking out her catalog of exhibits and pointing out a painting she liked to Wen Aixiu.
At the same time, Ning Chen and Ning Moran followed Ning Yao's gaze and secretly noted down the painting's number.
How could Wen Aixiu, who was being held by Ning Yao, know that besides outsiders, his two brothers were also eyeing him covetously, wanting to compete for his favor?
"Okay, I'll buy it for you with my allowance later." Wen Aixiu was happy; she still had a chance to buy a gift for her mother.
After calming Wen Aixiu down, Ning Yao walked up to Wen Tingye. Li Xuan, Cui Mengmeng, and Xin Yujue had already left the private room to wander around the manor. There was no one else in the private room.
"Duoduo told me that you were all bidding on that gemstone just now."
"Why didn't you take a picture? This isn't like your usual style." Ning Yao's voice was clear and cool, like spring water flowing by, and those who heard it felt as if their souls were being cleansed, which was very comforting.
Wen Tingye's gaze lingered on Ning Yao's face. Ning Yao's voice had mostly recovered by now, but Wen Tingye's ears were sharp, and he could still detect a slight hoarseness. That cool demeanor, tinged with a touch of allure, was exceptionally captivating.
Wen Tingye smiled without saying a word. Ning Yao could now discern his style of doing things, yet she insisted that this was not his standard of conduct.
"She...is she at the Si family's house?" Ning Yao asked Wen Tingye.
And this "she" naturally refers to their daughter, Xiao Liu.
"Hmm." As expected of Wen Tingye's woman, she understands immediately.
"Is that Si Si? Is she in the manor right now?" Ning Yao was extremely excited. The thought of being able to meet and reunite with her daughter made her wish she could run out right now to see her little sixth baby with her own eyes.
"Mom, the Si Sect is a very complicated sect. I suggest you don't get so worked up," Ning Chen said from the side.
It wasn't that Ning Chen didn't want his family to be reunited, but the people from the Si Men were too dangerous, so he had to consider things more carefully.
Finding his sister is important, but protecting his mother from harm is equally important.
"How complicated can it be? Is it as complicated as your dad's?"
"Your dad alone is enough of a headache for me; I run into him everywhere..."
Let alone Wen Tingye, even she herself wears several aliases, with so many identities that she can't even remember them all.
She's just a gatekeeper, why would she be afraid?
Seeing Ning Yao's cherry-red lips slightly open and close, she mumbled a few words.
Ning Chen didn't hear what Ning Yao said clearly. Just as he was about to move closer, Wen Tingye spoke up and called over his assistant, He Yu.
“Make a detailed list of all my businesses and identities around the world, no matter how small, and then hand it over to Ms. Ning Yao.”
He Yu was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had misheard, and his eyes widened.
"President Wen, this can't be tallied in just a day or two. Is it urgent?"
Wen Tingye glanced at He Yu, his coldness immediately apparent, and the person involved understood.
Don't ask too many questions, just do it. Even if it takes a year or two, you still have to submit the data honestly.
As the group was talking, no one noticed that Wen Aixiu, leaning against the wall, quietly slipped away while everyone was distracted.
There was hardly anyone walking in the corridor, and Wen Aixiu didn't know where to run. He walked a long way before finally leaning against the corner of the corridor, frowning in thought.
How can he find that person named Si Si?
Just then, a staff member from the manor happened to pass by and saw a child standing in the corner who was not even as tall as a potted plant. He walked over with a puzzled look in his eyes, bent down, and asked.
"Little brother, do you need any help?"
Wen Aixiu was startled by the sudden appearance of the person. After realizing that it was a staff member of the manor, he came up with a plan and immediately put on a wronged and frightened expression.
"Yes, I need it."
"I'm lost. Can you take me back to find my sister?"
He remembered that the person with that name was likely a woman, so he decided to take the gamble!
"No problem. What's your sister's name? I'll show you which private room she's in." The staff member was very polite, even speaking very softly, as if afraid of startling Wen Aixiu.
After all, any child who can appear outside these special private rooms must be someone of great importance.
Wen Aixiu stared intently at the staff member, and the boy's childish voice rang out instantly.
"My older sister's name is Si Si..."
