A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 638

Chapter 638: Chapter 637: If we keep this up, my arm is going to be useless
“I hope you’re right. I don’t want her to be some queen, I just want her to live well and peacefully. That kind of deceitful life is too hard!”

“What I didn’t expect is that even Alfredo couldn’t fully protect her.”

Old Madam Tang got angry whenever she talked about those matters. Originally, she was one of the people who arranged Wen Xin’s marriage, but she had not expected things to turn out this way.

At this moment, Alfredo, exhausted, was sitting in his office while Sun Ning was changing his bandages.

“Look at your wound; it’s split open again. Can’t you stay calm? If it keeps reopening like this, your arm will soon be useless.”

Hearing that his arm would be useless, Alfredo, with closed eyes, disdainfully curled his lip.

“Even if I were to die, nobody would care, so what does a useless arm matter!”

Sun Ning, seeing Alfredo’s despair, deliberately intensified his disinfecting action, causing Alfredo to involuntarily gasp.

“You’re obviously not numb to pain, so why torment yourself? Seriously, I’ve seen with my own eyes how deeply she feels for that man. You really…”

Sun Ning hadn’t finished speaking when Alfredo’s eyes snapped open, and he glared at Sun Ning furiously.

“If you can talk properly, then talk, but if you can’t, then get out!”

The last thing Alfredo wanted to hear was how deeply Wen Xin cared for that man. In his heart, Wen Xin was his, and no matter how impressive that man might be, he was not going to give up on Wen Xin.

Sun Ning, observing Alfredo’s stubbornness, sighed softly, “Your injury really can’t keep getting reopened like this. You have a difficult path ahead, and you can’t afford to become disabled, right? Otherwise, you’ll be even less worthy of the little princess!”

After Sun Ning finished speaking, the bald man watching nearby couldn’t resist sweating for Sun Ning. He considered Sun Ning a brave man who knew exactly what to say to hurt their Chairman, truly admirable.

Alfredo, squinting and with a glow of a smile, looked at Sun Ning and stayed silent for a while before closing his eyes and not speaking anymore.

“Chairman, Old Fox Wen is here…”

Just then, an anxious secretary rushed in and addressed Alfredo, who was in the midst of having his wounds treated.

“If he has arrived, let him wait outside,” Alfredo said, not showing much respect for Old Fox Wen, who had recently been too presumptuous for his liking, making him restless.

“Let him wait outside,” Alfredo, eyes closed, spoke with some irritation.

“Chairman, I can’t stop him… Old Fox Wen, he…”

“You’re really putting on airs now!”

The secretary hadn’t finished speaking when Old Fox Wen had already walked in, followed by a man who appeared to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

“What? The Wen family just got attacked and you already don’t consider them important anymore? Or does the Wen family mean nothing to you now? Don’t forget, that girl is still a member of the Wen family.”

Listening to Old Fox’s threatening words, Alfredo’s hand, placed under the table, clenched involuntarily, but he quickly composed himself and relaxed the hand on his lap.

“Old Fox is right, my dealings with Wen Xin still require Old Fox to make decisions on my behalf. I was just changing medicine, which made it inconvenient to attend to Old Fox,” Alfredo said.

Alfredo looked respectfully at Old Fox, whose expression was ugly, and this display greatly pleased Old Fox.

“Your wound still needs proper rest and recovery. Luckily, I’ve brought an assistant for you. His name is Wen Suiqian, the eldest grandson of the Wen family. Let him handle some matters for you from now on!”

As he spoke, Old Fox Wen pulled the young man standing behind him to his side and pushed him in front of Alfredo.

Alfredo looked at the handsome man before him, his lips slightly curling, and his eyebrows subtly raised.

“Old Fox, this might be going a bit too far, don’t you think? You know that the candidates for the Elders Council need to go through a rigorous selection process. It seems inappropriate for you to arbitrarily place someone there,” Alfredo said.

Seizing the moment of anger, Alfredo spoke his mind without hesitation. He had long been fed up with Old Fox’s control, but some things weren’t yet ripe for action. He couldn’t be too blatant just yet.

“That’s your problem! I’m handing him over to you, and it’s up to you to arrange what he does here. Don’t forget, the queen of Independent State, the little princess, is one of our Wen family members. Arranging for her brother shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Old Fox gazed at Alfredo with a cunning look in his eyes. Every time he mentioned Wen Xin, Alfredo would compromise, and he believed that this time would be no different.

“I’m sorry, Old Fox, if you must bring out the young miss at this time, then don’t blame me for not being able to offer you this courtesy. The matters concerning the young miss are not for you or me to decide, and the affairs of the Elders Council also need her to make a decision,” Alfredo said.

Alfredo waited for Sun Ning to finish bandaging him, then rose from his office chair, looking sternly at Old Fox, whose expression had turned ugly.

“You might discuss it with the young miss first, and then have her give me a call. I’ll make arrangements after that. Otherwise, if the young miss asks, it would really be hard for me to explain.”

“You… Alfredo, you dare to use that dead girl to oppress me?”

Old Fox looked angrily at Alfredo, still remembering the last time that dead girl overdid things in the Wen family, opposing him for the sake of a few people caught, and how she would never allow herself to be controlled or heed his arrangements.

“Today, no matter what, you have to arrange this properly for me. If Wen Xin blames me for it, I’ll take the blame. I don’t believe she can do anything to me, her grandfather!”

Old Fox slammed his walking stick down on the floor to show his irritation, but Alfredo did not take his anger seriously, merely offering a cold smile while outwardly maintaining his respect for Old Fox.

“How would I dare to use the little princess to suppress you, Mr. Wen? I’m merely being realistic. If you insist that Young Master Wen joins the Elders Council, then please have Young Master Wen go through the standard assessment process. That way, it would explain things to everyone!”

This time, Alfredo had no intention of making things easier. Since Wen Xin had already broken ties with the Wen family, he felt no obligation to protect the Wen family for her sake. In fact, he felt much more relaxed now.

Alfredo’s actions made Old Fox’s expression increasingly grim. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Fine, do as you say, but be careful with how you handle this. I don’t want any accidents.”

Old Fox spoke assertively, determined to get his grandson into the Elders Council. He was very aware of how important it was to have control in his hands, especially after realizing he might not be able to control Wen Xin effectively.
