Chapter 1288: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Wenren Ding looked at Wenren Xinqing walking towards him expressionlessly.
As usual, she stopped three meters away, with a shy smile on her pretty face.
"Brother, my parents heard that you kicked my uncle out, so they asked me to ask you what happened." Wenren Xinqing's eyes were full of admiration, but she didn't dare to get any closer to Wenren Ding.
Wen Rending looked her up and down and replied expressionlessly, "If you want to chase me away, then chase me away."
Wenren Xinqing: …
Although she had guessed in advance that Wen Ren Ding would say this, when she actually heard it, she still felt choked and laughed awkwardly.
Forget it, it would be the same if she asked someone else later.
"I accidentally sprained my ankle when I came here, so I might stay at my brother's place for a few days." Wenren Xinqing didn't dare to ask any more questions and carefully made another request.
After saying that, she looked at Wen Ren Ding eagerly, fearing that she would be rejected.
Wen Rending frowned again, and finally said forbearingly: "Go to the guest room and don't cause trouble."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely not cause any trouble, don't worry, brother!"
Even though Wenren Ding's tone was so bad, Wenren Xinqing was still very happy. At least she was not kicked out, which was already very good.
From top to bottom, their family had long been accustomed to Wen Ren Ding's attitude and temper, and did not care at all about being treated coldly by him.
Wenren Xinqing smiled contentedly as she watched her brother, with whom she had spoken less than ten words, leave.
This time, she was afraid of annoying Wen Ren Ding, so she didn't dare to bring more servants, only two. One was going to invite a doctor for her, and the other was buying people's hearts in the mansion, asking for her what her natal uncle had done to be kicked out by Wen Ren Ding.
Before this, I, Wen Rending, had always been kind to the people of my mother's clan and gave them all the little patience I had.
Although the jewelry was nice, after playing with it, Shi Li began to miss her own artificial sea.
After all, she is a mermaid. If she stays out of water for a long time, she will feel something is wrong with her whole body, and the tip of her tail will feel itchy and astringent.
She was the only one in the room at the moment. Wen Ren Ding was not there, and she didn't know where the nearest servant was.
Moreover, Shi Li was not sure whether the other servants dared to come and take her back to the water. She could only lie on the dressing table bored, looking at her blurry reflection in the mirror.
He didn't even notice Wen Ren Ding walking in from outside.
When Wen Ren Ding stepped over the threshold, he saw Shi Li lying on the dressing table with her back to him. The light-colored dragon tail hanging in the half-open hole swayed gently left and right, drawing bright arcs.
He paused, feeling something strange at his fingertips. He wanted to walk over and grab the dragon's tail.
But...reason stopped his delusions.
Deliberately increased the pace of his steps.
Shi Li finally realized that he was back. She turned around in surprise and opened her arms, "Carry me back into the water."
Is it already so natural?
Wen Ren Ding raised his eyebrows secretly, and the restlessness in his heart subsided a lot. He picked her up and walked out of this boudoir that was worth no less than a golden house.
At this time, Wenren Xinqing's servant also found out what he wanted to know and returned to his master.
Wenren Xinqing had just sent away the doctor who had treated her feet, and when she saw the servant coming back, she immediately called him to her side.
"Tell me what you found out quickly." She was very anxious, even more anxious than applying medicine to her ankle.
The servant told the whole story of how Wen Ren Ding got so angry that he thought his uncle was a mermaid and kicked him out late at night.
Wenren Xinqing listened attentively and slowly widened her eyes.
"Mermaids... Mermaids really exist! So can their tears really turn into pearls? And can they weave silk?"
After all, she is the daughter of a businessman, and all she talks about is making money.
The servant shook his head in fear, "I didn't get any information. People in the mansion said that they didn't see the mermaid crying, nor did they see her weaving. They just saw her being carried around by the young master and playing around."
"Bastard!"
Wenren Xinqing pursed her lips and muttered, her eyes rolled around, and she casually stuffed a few silver bills to the servant.
"Anyway, I'm going to stay here for a few more days. Keep asking around. No matter what it is, as long as it has something to do with my brother, tell me everything!"
The servant hurriedly took the banknote and left.
After a lot of trouble, when Shi Li returned to the water, it was almost dark. Wen Rending stood on the shore, with no intention of leaving. He sat on the armchair brought by the servants and looked at her silently.
The servants in the mansion were well-trained and did not need his instructions. Just like in the morning, dinner was also set up on the shore.
After everything was arranged, Shi Li swam back and forth in the water a few times. Without waiting for Wen Ren Ding to call him, he swam over on his own initiative.
