The factions and powers in Beijing are, of course, insignificant in Wen Yu's eyes. He doesn't even have the mood to pay attention to these chaotic matters. Aside from knowing that Lin Tianxue is stirring things up in Beijing, he is completely unaware of the information regarding Lin Tianxue's force and the powerful individuals she has recruited.
However, when Qin Tian and the others came to visit today, Wen Yu immediately recognized Lin Tianxue. In other words, Qin Tian is now nominally affiliated with the military but is actually just Lin Tianxue's lackey.
As for Lin Tianxue, Wen Yu did not have any unusual views about her. She had neither violated his interests nor offended him, and there were no signs of her wanting to make any extreme reactions (such as awakening Tang Haofei). In Wen Yu's eyes, Little Snow was just an inconspicuous minor character, at most someone he was acquainted with.
However, being an acquaintance holds little significance for Wen Yu. In fact, Lin Tianxue's status in his mind is even lower than that of Sun Xuewei. In summary, Little Snow is entirely irrelevant to Wen Yu, and correspondingly, he has no extra thoughts about Qin Tian's allegiance to Lin Tianxue.
Nevertheless… the reunion with an old friend has become filled with utilitarian motives—what purpose could Lin Tianxue have in coming here together?
Moreover, Arthur's marriage has stirred up waves in Wen Yu's heart—Qin Tian and the others are merely passersby in his life, and perhaps he is a passerby in their eyes as well…
Thus, reminiscing about old times is impossible; the atmosphere is just not right, and even the wine cannot save it. Since that is the case, let's talk business… after all, isn't that why you are here? Wen Yu decided to give Qin Tian and the others a face. If Little Snow wants to discuss something with him, fine, he will listen.
Little Snow remained silent, and she too sensed that today's atmosphere was somewhat awkward. After holding it in for a long time, she could not come up with anything to say...
"Are you hoping I can speak on your behalf? Help your son suppress the wild son? Help your son become Lin Haifeng's heir?"
Even if she didn't say it, Wen Yu could guess what Lin Tianxue's purpose was.
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, Lin Tianxue was immediately taken aback... If one were to annotate Lin Tianxue's feelings, it would be something like, "How does he know?"
Seeing Lin Tianxue's reaction, Wen Yu sighed inwardly… "With this disposition, it would be strange if you could compete with Lin Haifeng. If it weren't for the fact that you are Old Lin's daughter and his only successor, you would be ten times worse off than Tang Haofei! A hundred times worse off than me!"
Wen Yu thought to himself while refraining from saying anything too provocative, merely reminding Lin Tianxue, "Lin Haifeng knows about all these things."
Lin Tianxue fell silent for a moment, then instead broke into a smile.
"That's true. After all, he is my father; who knows a daughter better than her father?"
"So, it would be best to give up early, apologize, and remember that you are still the grand princess of the Beijing gathering."
Before Wen Yu could finish speaking, Lin Tianxue interjected.
"However, this no longer matters, Lord Wen Yu..."
Lin Tianxue's gaze was piercing, cutting off Wen Yu's words.
"To be honest, Brother Wen Yu, I just don't want my son to be suppressed by others, but my father is too biased! Can you understand the feelings of a mother?"
Sorry, but I am male, so I can’t understand that…
"In this world, it ultimately comes down to the strong speaking for themselves. Since you know my purpose, you must also be aware of the people I have gathered, but that is still not enough—far from enough. My power is drastically inferior to my father's, and my voice carries much less weight… but there is still you, Brother Wen Yu!"
"I firmly believe that as long as you speak, no matter what my father thinks, he will certainly act according to your wishes."
