"Boss, the matter has been investigated."
In the study, Chen Tan reported to Zhan Hanjue, who was sitting upright in a chair.
"Well?" Zhan Hanjue asked coldly.
Chen Tan reported, "He was sent by Old Master Ye, but the driver refused to admit it. I've checked the driver's background. He has been helping Old Master Ye."
"Attacking his own granddaughter? Ye Pengcheng is interesting."
"Boss, do we need to continue investigating?" Chen Tan asked.
"There's no need to investigate further. Ye Pengcheng is an old fox. Since he missed, he won't leave anything behind. However, go and find out why Ye Pengcheng hates Ye Ningxuan. After all, she's his granddaughter. There must be a reason why he didn't hesitate to kill her."
"Yes."
"Also, Ye Ningxuan might know where Bai Zhi is," Zhan Hanjue added.
Chen Tan said in surprise, "Really? That's great. Your eyes can be cured. Ask Young Madam where Bai Zhi is. I'll send someone to invite her over immediately."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. After searching for so many years, we don't care about this bit of time. It's better to find out her background first before making a decision. We don't know if she's an enemy or a friend yet. We can't act rashly," Zhan Hanjue said.
Chen Tan nodded.
In the garden.
Butler Wu was directing the servants to water the flowers.
Ye Ningxuan walked over. Butler Wu hurriedly greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Young Madam."
The other servants greeted her respectfully. "Hello, Young Madam."
Ye Ningxuan nodded slightly and looked at the new flowers in the garden. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly transplant so many flowers? Does Grandma like them?"
Zhan Hanjue definitely didn't like it. Zhan Hanjue was blind and probably had no interest in flowers.
"Old Madam is old and has long lost interest in flowers and grass. She transplanted them for you. You probably like flowers!" Butler Wu said with a smile.
Ye Ningxuan chuckled. "Of course. Who doesn't like beautiful flowers?"
"What kind of flowers does Young Madam like? I'll get someone to transplant some more in."
"Peony! Only peony is truly beautiful. They're graceful, gorgeous, and extraordinary."
"Alright, I'll order someone to buy the best peony variety. It will definitely satisfy Young Madam," Butler Wu said quickly.
Ye Ningxuan smiled and asked, "Butler Wu, does Mr. Zhan have any interests or hobbies?"
"Interests? Probably business! Young Master is a business genius. His biggest hobby is to expand the scale and let the Zhan Corporation rise to the next level," Butler Wu replied proudly.
"Then other than doing business, what else is he interested in? I don't mean anything else. I just want to know what he does for fun. After all, we're husband and wife. We have to understand each other." Ye Ningxuan explained her actions.
Butler Wu was touched. "Young Madam is so considerate and treats Young Master so well. However, I'm not too sure about Young Master's daily pastime. Young Master doesn't like to be close to others. Other than cleaning, he basically doesn't allow servants to enter his room. However, if Young Madam wants to know more about Young Master, you can start from his daily life. Young Master doesn't sleep well and hasn't had a peaceful sleep for many years."
Ye Ningxuan was surprised.
She suddenly understood why Zhan Hanjue thought she had done something to him on their wedding night.
He hadn't slept peacefully in years, but she'd put him to sleep.
No wonder he found an excuse to leave the house the next day. He was probably afraid that she would harm him.
It seemed that he hadn't slept well yesterday, either, when they had slept in the same room.
No wonder she hadn't heard him breathing evenly until midnight.
"Young Madam."
At this moment, a footman in his twenties walked over and greeted Ye Ningxuan respectfully.
Ye Ningxuan looked puzzled.
Butler Wu explained, "Young Madam, he's the servant sent to the Lin family to retrieve the jade pendant today."
"Did you not retrieve the jade pendant?" Ye Ningxuan asked.
The male servant reported, "I didn't see Young Madam Lin. It was Young Master Lin who met me. Young Master Lin asked me to pass a message to Young Madam. He arranged to meet you at Ruyi Pavilion in the afternoon. He will personally deliver the jade pendant."
Ye Ningxuan sneered. Lin Yuyang actually asked her out?
Forget it. She wanted to see what Lin Yuyang was up to.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Ye Ningxuan nodded.
She went to her room to rest first and changed her clothes to go out for her appointment that afternoon.
Butler Wu prepared the car for her, and the driver walked her downstairs. She told him to wait outside.
She arrived at the appointed private room and knocked before entering.
Lin Yuyang immediately stood up and looked at her in panic.
Ye Ningxuan walked in and smiled. "Mr. Lin."
Her smile was dazzling, like the sunlight shining in on an autumn afternoon. Lin Yuyang felt dizzy, and his heart was pounding.
"You're here. Hurry up and sit down. Order whatever you want to eat. The Lin family has shares in this restaurant. Eat whatever you want. There's no need to stand on ceremony with me."
Lin Yuyang handed Ye Ningxuan the menu. He didn't know what to say and could only incoherently try his best to say good things about her.
Ye Ningxuan found it funny. She still remembered the first time she saw him that night. When he looked at her, the disdain in his eyes was so strong. In just a few days, his attitude was so different.
"Mr. Lin, you're too polite. Actually, logically speaking, I should call you Brother-in-law. But why didn't my sister come with you? I thought that my sister wanted to bury the hatchet with me, so she wanted to personally give me the jade pendant."
"Ye Xuan? Hmph, don't mention that woman. You're really too kind-hearted. The slander you suffered previously was all Ye Xuan's idea. If I had known that you… I would never have agreed." Lin Yuyang was filled with righteous indignation.
"Slander? Second Sister's idea? Mr. Lin, what do you mean?" Ye Ningxuan looked surprised.
Lin Yuyang explained to her bitterly, "Actually, it was Ye Xuan's idea for your car to break down halfway and spend the night out with the driver. She didn't want to marry Zhan Hanjue, so she took the initiative to seduce me. Originally, I didn't agree. My mother and your mother were so close, and we were engaged when we were young. Have you forgotten that we played together when we were young? I've always thought of you and can't forget you, but that woman schemed to frame you in order to get me. At that time, I broke off the engagement with you in a fit of anger and agreed to that woman's suggestion. I regret it so much now. Come back to me, okay? I promise I'll never abandon you again."
As Lin Yuyang spoke, he reached out to hold Ye Ningxuan's hand.
Ye Ningxuan's hands were too beautiful. They were slender and fair. From the moment he saw her just now, he couldn't help but feel tempted. He wanted to touch her beautiful hands.
"I see. Fortunately, the driver took pity on me and didn't do anything to me. I didn't expect my sister to be such a person." Ye Ningxuan raised her hand to wipe her tears, causing Lin Yuyang to miss.
Lin Yuyang didn't succeed and immediately confessed to Ye Ningxuan, "I really like you. I was deceived by Ye Xuan before. Give me another chance. I'll divorce Ye Xuan immediately and be with you."
"Mr. Lin, if my sister hears this, I'm afraid she'll be very sad," Ye Ningxuan said slowly.
Lin Yuyang immediately shouted, "Who cares if that vicious woman is sad or not? I'll divorce her when we get back. Don't worry. I'll definitely take revenge for you. I won't let you suffer easily."
"Lin Yuyang, you bastard. You've only been married to me for a few days, and you actually want to divorce me."
The door was kicked open from the outside and Ye Xuan rushed in.
Lin Yuyang was stunned. Why was she here?
"Ye Ningxuan, you b*tch, how dare you seduce my husband?" Ye Xuan pointed at Ye Ningxuan and scolded.
Ye Ningxuan frowned and looked at Lin Yuyang coldly. "Mr. Lin, you took the initiative to ask me out today. Now that my sister has misunderstood, you're just going to sit back and ignore it? To think that I thought you were a good person just now."
When Lin Yuyang heard this, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil. He immediately rushed in front of Ye Xuan, pointed at her, and scolded, "Ye Xuan, you shrew. What right do you have to criticize Ningwan? If you hadn't played tricks, Ningwan would have been my wife. How could I have married you?"
Ye Xuan's eyes widened. "Lin Yuning, you heartless person. Was that my idea alone? You were the one who seduced me first. You were the one who told me that you didn't want to marry an ugly woman. Now you're blaming me? Do you think I want to marry you? If I had met Zhan Hanjue earlier, would I have married you?"
"You finally admit it. You haven't been yourself since we got home yesterday. You've been looking at me with disdain. So you've taken a fancy to Zhan Hanjue."
"Hmph, what right do you have to criticize me? Aren't you the same? Didn't you keep thinking about that b*tch, Ye Ningxuan, when you went back yesterday? Why did you ask her out today?"
"Yes, I'm thinking about Ningwan. I regret marrying you. You'd better divorce me quickly and we'll go our separate ways." Lin Yuyang took the opportunity to bring up the divorce.
Ye Xuan was furious.
She had officially married into the Lin family. If they really divorced, how could she still have the dignity to stay in Jiang City in the future?
"Don't even think about getting a divorce. I'm not going to let you get away with it. Bitch, I'm going to rip your foxy face off."
Ye Xuan screamed and pounced at Ye Ningxuan.
Lin Yuyang tried to stop her, but he couldn't. She pushed him into a nearby pillar.
Ye Ningxuan was shocked and took out a silver needle. She was prepared to give Ye Xuan a shot when she rushed over.
However, before she could do anything, another person rushed in from the door and grabbed Ye Xuan's wrist.
With a strong swing, Ye Xuan spun like a top and screamed as she hit the door frame beside her.
"Are you injured?" The man threw Ye Xuan out and accurately found Ye Ningxuan's direction.
Ye Ningxuan looked at him in surprise.
She wondered why he was here.
"Are you hurt?" When she didn't answer, the man reached out to touch her.
Ye Ningxuan reacted and immediately dodged to explain, "No, I'm just surprised that you're here."
"I happened to be talking business next door. I heard the commotion and came over to take a look," the man replied.
Ye Ningxuan thought, "What is a blind man like you doing here?"
"I heard your voice," the man said again.
Ye Ningxuan pursed her lips. So he had come because he recognized her voice. She didn't expect him to care about her.
"Lin Yuyang, come and help me," Ye Xuan shouted.
Lin Yuyang didn't expect Zhan Hanjue to come as well. He was stunned!
Hearing Ye Xuan's cry, he reacted and subconsciously ran over to help her up.
Ye Xuan touched her forehead. It was bleeding.
She immediately cried in fear and shouted for Lin Yuyang to send her to the hospital.
Lin Yuyang was already feeling guilty for secretly asking out someone else's wife, not to mention that this was Zhan Hanjue. He was still very afraid of him.
Hence, he took the opportunity to help Ye Xuan leave quickly.
"Lin Yuyang, you haven't given me the jade pendant," Ye Ningxuan shouted.
However, Lin Yuyang ran faster than a rabbit.
Ye Ningxuan bit her lip angrily and blamed Zhan Hanjue. "It's all your fault for scaring him away. He hasn't given me the jade pendant yet."
"Ye Ningxuan, aren't you being too bold?" Zhan Hanjue's expression darkened.
This woman was abominable. How dare she blame him for helping her?
Ye Ningxuan was shocked and quickly apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Zhan Hanjue snorted and turned.
Ye Ningxuan bit her lip and frowned in regret. How could she have forgotten this man's identity?
"Did you meet Lin Yuyang to ask him for the jade pendant?" After a while, the man questioned again.
Ye Ningxuan thought that since he heard her voice, he must have been next door and heard her conversation with Lin Yuyang clearly.
With a frank attitude, she immediately confessed, "Yes, my main goal is to get back the jade pendant and sow discord between him and Ye Xuan. However, they set me up previously. I can't let them bully me for nothing."
Before she came, she had gotten someone to send a letter to Ye Xuan to let her know that Lin Yuyang had arranged to meet her here.
Otherwise, why would Ye Xuan come looking for him?
"If you want revenge, beg me," the man said.
Ye Ningxuan smiled and immediately massaged his shoulders. "I won't trouble Mr. Zhan with such a small matter. However, are you really here to discuss something? Or did Butler Wu tell you that I'm meeting Lin Yuyang here, so you specially came over…"
"Come in," Zhan Hanjue shouted.
At this moment, another person walked in.
The man was about thirty years old. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and was very handsome and refined.
There was a faint smile on his lips and his eyes looked very gentle and amiable, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
"Miss Ye, you've misunderstood President Zhan. I arranged to meet President Zhan here yesterday. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet Miss Ye today," the man said with a smile.
Ye Ningxuan was embarrassed. She smiled awkwardly at the man and nodded slightly in greeting.
The man was swayed by her smile and couldn't help but sigh. "It's rumored that the third daughter of the Ye family is extremely ugly. Indeed, rumors are harmful. If I knew that the third daughter was so beautiful, countless young talents in Jiang City would have come to propose marriage."
"Well, there's nothing for you here. You can go out," Zhan Hanjue ordered him out coldly.
The man was speechless. He was burning bridges too quickly.
"Miss Ye, my surname is Xia. I'm Xia Wenyuan, the vice president of the Zhan Corporation. We'll meet again if fate allows." Before the man left, he introduced himself with a smile.
But as soon as he said that they would meet again, he saw Zhan Hanjue's expression turn cold.
Xia Wenyuan could only say awkwardly, "Of course, we're definitely not fated."
