Chapter 256 - 256: Mrs. Shen

Wen Nian maintained her innocent smile, though her eyes betrayed a hint of caution. “Naturally, I’d use my sweetheart’s charm to arrange another meeting with him.”

“You want me to arrange a meeting?” Shen Jun’s lips curled slightly, a bit unnerved.

Meanwhile, Wei Xiao had returned home and began recounting the day’s events to Wei Feng.

Wei Feng’s underlings had already informed him that Shen Jun had left early. When he learned that Zhao Wu’s associates had come to pick up Shen Jun, he surmised that something substantial was afoot.

“So, he agreed to the dinner because of Wen Nian?” Wei Feng sipped his tea, his demeanor composed.

Standing nearby, Wei Xiao lowered his head and replied obediently, “They’re a couple now. He probably didn’t want me to be alone with Wen Nian. Especially considering our prior engagement.”

He glanced up to find Wei Feng silent. Hastily, he added, “But his attitude today was decent. He’s usually indifferent to classmates. However, he took the initiative to join me for dinner today and even asked me to escort him out. 1 think he’s still open to maintaining a good relationship.”

Listening attentively, Wei Feng nodded. “The Shen family holds significant sway in the capital. Numerous families rely on their connections. If you can forge a bond with Shen Jun, expanding our Wei family’s business in the capital won’t be much of a challenge.”

“Yes, Grandpa, I understand,” Wei Xiao quickly replied.

“Unfortunately, this time things didn’t quite align. His uncle had no choice. I’ve received information indicating that it won’t be long before Zhao Wu makes further advancements in his career. Given his rapid ascent and the Shen family’s influence, he could hold a central position of power within a few years.”

Wei Feng spoke gravely, “When the opportunity arises, you must establish more contact with him. The Shen family’s standing surpasses ours. You must present yourself favorably. Additionally, you need to keep the Wen family’s young lady in check. Prevent any situation that might displease Shen Jun, but you have to make good use of her.”

Contemplating the Wen family’s recent actions, Wei Feng felt they were becoming increasingly uncontrollable. However, he still needed Wen Nian’s assistance to approach the Shen family, so he couldn’t make a move against the Wen family just yet.

Wei Xiao quickly reassured him, “Grandfather, rest assured. Wen Nian hails from a modest background. She’s not worthy of Shen Jun, and the Shen family wouldn’t favor such a daughter-in-law. Nevertheless, Shen Jun is currently close to her. 1 intend to leverage this relationship effectively. You needn’t worry.”

“Very well. Hurry up. Once you’re engaged to the Jiang family, the Shen family’s support will be valuable.” Wei Feng stood and patted Wei Xiao’s shoulder. “1 still have high hopes for you. Take the initiative to secure the Shen family’s alliance.”

Wei Xiao quickly agreed, but his downcast eyes betrayed his lack of respect.

After finally reporting, Wei Xiao left the old man’s study. Wei Lai, who was outside the door, had already waited for a while.

Seeing Wei Xiao come out, Wei Lai asked angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were having dinner with Brother Shen Jun today?”

“Why should I tell you? Let me warn you! Don’t get involved in Shen Jun’s matters.”

Wei Xiao was well aware of the ongoing power struggle within the younger generation of the Wei family. Wei Feng’s sons had all been disappointments, leading him to pin his hopes on the next generation. Even though Wei Xiao had the right timing and positioning, the others were not lacking in competitiveness. The one who could secure the Shen family’s support would likely become the future heir of the Wei family. Wei Xiao understood that he needed to seize this opportunity.

Wei Lai rolled his eyes at Wei Xiao’s retort. “Grandfather gave me the green light to get involved. He even mentioned providing opportunities for Shen Jun and me in the future. When I marry Shen Jun, I’ll be a part of the Shen family. Watch your words around me!”

Wei Xiao squinted, a dangerous glint in his eyes as he stared at Wei Lai.

However, Wei Lai interpreted his reaction as fear and declared confidently, “Don’t assume that you’re Grandfather’s favored one now. The Jiang family can’t be compared to the Wei family. You’d better keep me informed every time you interact with Shen Jun. If I become Mrs. Shen in the future, I’ll ensure my family’s interests are protected, no matter what.”

With that statement, Wei Lai departed without looking back, her smug demeanor evident even before she turned around.

Wei Xiao clenched his fists, taking a deep breath to regain his composure. He reached for his phone and sent a WeChat message to Wen Nian..
