The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 540 - 555 Grandma, You’ve Been Blinded by Lard

Zhang Linmiao picked up the hot milk on the table and poured it into Wen Yichen’s cup, speaking earnestly: "Son, your grandmother is getting old, don’t make her angry. Actually, Jian Ru is very nice, why don’t you try to get along with her?"

"No one can decide my marriage, let alone force me to marry a woman I don’t like, unless you want the Wen Family to end with me."

The old lady angrily slammed her chopsticks on the table: "You ungrateful brat, what’s so wrong with Jian Ru that you can’t accept her?"

"I find her displeasing in every way. Grandma, you’re just blinded by pig’s fat. Sooner or later, I’ll make you see her true colors."

Han Xi turned around and looked at Wen Yichen, signaling with his eyes for him to say less.

Jian Ru lowered her head and wiped her tears, sobbing as she spoke: "Grandma, please don’t argue over me. I’ll take the flight back shortly so Yichen won’t find me an eyesore."

"You’re not going anywhere. If anyone’s leaving, it’s this unfilial grandson."

Wen Yichen looked up, his gaze cold as he stared at Jian Ru across from him: "Your tactic of retreating to advance works well on my grandma, indeed."

"Yichen, you’ve misunderstood me. What do I have to do for you to accept me?"

Wen Yichen propped his chin up with one hand, contemplating before speaking: "You don’t have to go out of your way to please me. The Wen family’s assets aren’t in my name. Even if they end up in my hands someday, I might donate everything out of a whim, leaving you with nothing."

Jian Ru’s eyes welled up with tears, and she sniffed, feeling wronged: "Grandma, I’m not marrying Yichen for money. I just like him as a person."

"Grandma knows, don’t mind what that ungrateful boy says." The old lady took a napkin from the dining table and wiped Jian Ru’s tears.

Wen Yichen really couldn’t eat anymore. Watching her overly dramatic performance just annoyed him, so he got up and went back to his room.

Han Xi and Lu Jinghan didn’t comfort Jian Ru either. They always felt this girl wasn’t as simple as she appeared on the surface.

After dinner, Han Xi and Lu Jinghan went to work.

Wen Yichen sat on the sofa in his bedroom, browsing through Qin Mi’s social media moments. Five minutes ago, he saw she posted an update—a photo of a movie ticket.

He zoomed in on the ticket and, after carefully checking the details, also booked a ticket for the same movie session on his phone. After changing clothes, he went out.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the cinema entrance. After paying, Wen Yichen got out of the car.

Walking into the cinema, Wen Yichen collected his ticket and stood at the ticket inspection entrance, looking around. The ticket inspection would start in about ten minutes. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Not far away, Qin Mi was walking over with a bucket of popcorn. As she hung up the phone and looked up, her eyes met Wen Yichen’s in the air.

"What a coincidence, you’re here to watch a movie too."

Qin Mi’s lips curved into a faint smile as she greeted him proactively.

Wen Yichen nodded: "Had nothing to do at home, so I thought I’d catch a movie. Which one are you watching?"

"Fleet of Time starring Ni Ni."

"Me too."

"Fleet of Time in Theatre 3 is now open for inspection," a staff member announced to the crowd.

Wen Yichen took Qin Mi’s hand to line up, glancing at her movie ticket: "Looks like our seats are next to each other."

Before Qin Mi could speak, someone behind them called her name: "Xiao Mi, I’m really sorry I’m late."
