Scheming and Seduction in Quick Transmigration: The Heroine's Beloved is Mine

Wen Qinglan turned her head away, revealing a clear handprint on her right cheek.

He pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

Of the three brothers, Mr. Wen valued Wen Qinglan the most, which is evidenced by the fact that he handed the company over to him early on.

That was the very person he trusted, and yet he slapped him in the face in front of his entire family.

Wen Qinglan, who was adept at business battles and mature and composed at home, able to handle anything with ease, accepted the slap without uttering a word.

Mrs. Wen realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Are you crazy? Why are you hitting the child?"

Wen Zhining also hurriedly went to look at Wen Qinglan, "Big brother, you..."

She reached out to touch his face, her expression full of heartache, but Wen Qinglan stopped her and shook his head.

"fine."

"How disgusting, Wen Qinglan!" Mr. Wen was still yelling at Wen Qinglan, "She grew up with you since she was little!"

"That's exactly why," Wen Qinglan said softly, holding Wen Zhining's hand.

But the people in the living room could hear his voice clearly.

"Watching her grow up, calling out to me with a smile, holding my hand, relying on me, she was so well-behaved..." he said, one sentence at a time.

Wen Zhining listened in a daze, trying to break free of the hand he was holding.

Wen Qinglan noticed her movement, released her hand, and continued, "How could I not be moved by Ningning? She's so wonderful."

"I was also going through a lot of pain, and I even thought about never getting married and just staying by her side for the rest of my life, but I couldn't ignore what Mu Menghan said."

He was so disgusting; he had feelings for Wen Zhining, yet he acted as if nothing had happened.

I wanted to let myself sink into depravity.

Until Mu Menghan exposed everything and revealed what he had been hiding in his heart.

"Mom, you want me to stay away from Ningning? I really can't do it." Wen Qinglan's eyes reddened, revealing a rare vulnerability.

"I'm going crazy when I see you introducing her to other men."

Madam Wen was speechless, covering her mouth and unable to speak.

Wen Qinglan also wanted to try to get rid of this longing, even by going on a business trip.

But he couldn't help it. Even before boarding the plane, just knowing that he was leaving and would be away from Wen Zhining for a few days made him unable to move.

A surge of longing welled up within me.

He couldn't suppress his desire to see her in person as he watched the video.

So he came back early, hugged her contentedly, and asked her if she missed him.

Although he knew her longing didn't mean that, it still helped him recover from the bad mood he'd had during his business trip.

"I can't control it, and I don't want to." He patted his chest, calmly recounting his thoughts over the years.

"How dare you say that!" Mr. Wen roared in fury. "Have you no shame? If word gets out that you're after your sister, what will people think?"

"If that man can do it, why can't I?" Wen Qinglan's voice was suppressed, each word seemingly squeezed out from her throat.

He didn't want to show his aggressive side in front of Wen Zhining.

"In terms of money, status, ability, and power, who in City A can compare to me?"

At that moment, Madam Wen finally realized that what Wen Qinglan had said to her before entering Wen Zhining's room that night was indeed referring to himself.

He didn't think anyone he knew was good enough for Wen Zhining.

They also knew that Wen Qinglan already wielded immense power and could provide Wen Zhining with a better life.

"Who dares to utter a single word on these matters?" Wen Qinglan's voice trembled slightly, carried with suppressed, surging emotions.

"Yes, Dad," Wen Chengyan quickly interjected, "Besides, my eldest brother isn't our biological son either. We can rest assured about him and Ningning."

Wen Zhining's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't react at all, standing blankly next to Wen Qinglan.

Hearing this, Wen Qinglan looked up at him, "What do you mean, not his biological child?"

Wen Qisheng held his phone and said, "Well, someone revealed that you, Big Brother, are not our parents' biological child."

In fact, apart from Mr. Wen, everyone in the family was surprised when they heard and learned of Wen Qinglan's thoughts; what followed was exactly what they expected.

Sure enough, he had a complete epiphany.

People had a vague idea about it before, but it wasn't said outright.

Everyone quickly and readily accepted the idea, except for Mr. Wen, who was still stuck in the old generation's mindset and refused to accept it.

They came back this time to talk about this matter, but they didn't expect that after hearing Wen Zhining's true feelings, the topic suddenly changed from Mr. Wen's slap.

"Regarding this matter, I was actually afraid that if you knew you weren't our biological child, you would be shy and distant from us. After your parents were hospitalized following the car accident, the first thing they did was ask me to take care of you," Mrs. Wen explained.

"You don't remember me from when I was little. I quickly accepted the sudden appearance of an older brother, so I secretly changed my surname because I was afraid you would find out and that you would not be united."

"I never imagined that we'd kept it a secret until now."

Wen Chengyan, who never expected that he was the eldest brother, said: "Our family is really good enough to make a TV drama."

First, the younger sister was switched at birth, and then the older brother wasn't even his biological brother.

Wen Qisheng: "..."

Wen Qinglan's eyelashes trembled slightly; her strongest emotion upon hearing this news was probably—

Great.

He doesn't have the surname Wen, so he doesn't need to feel guilty.

He can now be with Ningning openly and honestly.

"Dad, now you don't have to stop me anymore, right?" Wen Chengyan asked. "We can change my eldest brother's surname back now. Anyway, they're not on the same household registration. You can agree to his relationship with Ningning now."

Mr. Wen: "..."

Faced with Wen Chengyan's seemingly ingratiating smile, he returned a smile, and then ordered his men to lock Wen Qinglan up in confinement.

"Don't feed him. Lock him up until he comes to his senses!"

"Dad!" Wen Zhining finally spoke up, "If you don't like it, brother, you say so. You'll stay away from me from now on. You promise Dad."

She tugged at Wen Qinglan's sleeve, looking very anxious.

Wen Qinglan gently removed her hand. "No, Ningning."

He could promise her anything, but there was one thing he couldn't promise.

Wen Qinglan was taken to be put in solitary confinement.

He was the one who locked Mu Menghan up in this house, but when it came to himself, he didn't resist.

Wen Chengyan patted her reassuringly, "It's okay, Ningning. Let me talk to Dad with your third brother. Your eldest brother will be released soon."

Wen Qisheng nodded hurriedly.

"It's so dark in that room, and they don't even give him food. How can my brother bear it?" Wen Zhining cried uncontrollably.

Why did Dad find out about my relationship with my older brother? I didn't say anything, and my brother certainly wouldn't have said anything either. I've been keeping my distance from him.

Wen Chengyan and Wen Qisheng exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Mrs. Wen caught up with Mr. Wen, who stormed out of the house in a huff, and tried to calm him down.

The atmosphere at the Wen family residence was tense today.
