After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Grasp

Wen Lin is only 21 years old this year, a senior in college, but she has already started to gradually take over some of the Wen Family’s industries. Her astonishing talent in business also makes Mr. Wen appreciate her very much.

Many times, he has praised Wen Lin for resembling him when he was young.

Of course, he also has regrets, thinking that Wen Lin is a girl and will eventually get married, which gives others some reassurance, prompting their own children to study hard and learn early, in hopes of one day becoming the Wen Family’s leader.

Unfortunately, as it stands, Wen Lin is still the most cherished by Mr. Wen.

Wen Lin pushed Mr. Wen’s wheelchair down from upstairs.

Once Mr. Wen appeared in everyone’s sight, the lively conversations quieted down for a moment. Then Mr. Wen became the center of attention, and everyone went to congratulate him on his birthday.

The Wen Family, considering Mr. Wen’s age and inability to host too many people, only invited families that had good relationships with him. There were only about a dozen guests present, all of whom were prominent figures in Beijing.

The Qin Family is also close to the Wen Family, and since Qin Guangtao couldn’t make it, he sent Qin Chi Jin.

Cheng Lie, however, was personally invited by Mr. Wen.

Upon Qin Chi Jin and Cheng Lie’s arrival, he conversed with others while occasionally observing Cheng Lie.

"Look here, the Wen Family has several daughters. I wonder if there’s anyone you fancy?"

As soon as Qin Chi Jin arrived, he surveyed the female guests present but found only a few—either too young or already married accompanying their husbands.

It was truly unfortunate. But indeed, in such a small circle, for so many years, he hadn’t found a woman he fancied, and probably never would.

Cheng Lie merely cast him a cold glance.

Receiving his warning gaze, Qin Chi Jin laughed: "I know, you like that little girl, right? I’m just teasing you."

Because of Zhao Pan, Qin Chi Jin completely understood Cheng Lie’s feelings.
