章 39: Ex-Brother-in-law
編集者: Henyee Translations
Wang Xiaohu looked at Ye Ningxuan in fear and nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone. I don't have the guts to offend the Zhan family."
Ye Ningxuan lowered her eyes and waved him away.
Chen Tan went forward and put his arm around Wang Xiaohu's shoulder. He smiled and said, "I'll walk you out."
Wang Xiaohu looked terrified and wanted to refuse, but Chen Tan's hand pressed down on his shoulder forcefully.
"Thank you, Special Assistant Chen." Wang Xiaohu thanked him reluctantly and left with him.
Ye Ningxuan sat on a chair. She didn't know why Chen Tan wanted to send Wang Xiaohu off. He probably wanted to warn him behind her back.
She hadn't expected the truth to be this.
The Fu Wenfang in her memory… called her baby gently and looked at her with a gentle gaze. Even if they met again many years later, she would be filled with sympathy and heartache when she saw her.
She pushed all the blame for the forced annulment to Lin Yuyang and didn't doubt her at all.
Now that she thought about it, it was ridiculous.
If Fu Wenfang really cared about her, how could she have ignored her all these years?
She left her to fend for herself in the countryside.
It was because of her own stupidity that she had never suspected her.
"Alone?"
As soon as Feng Jiuzun entered, he saw Ye Ningxuan sitting in front of the French window.
A fringed cream-colored dress with a crimson embroidered shawl draped over her shoulders.
Her slightly curly hair was loose and glossy as black pearls.
Her face was fair and beautiful, as if carefully created by God.
She slouched in her chair, her head slightly to one side, as if looking out at the view.
Little did she know that she had become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of many.
Feng Jiuzun watched the door for a while and noticed that a man couldn't help but want to walk over. He took a big step forward and smiled at Ye Ningxuan.
Ye Ningxuan came back to her senses and looked at him with her dark and bright eyes.
Her eyes were mesmerizing. Feng Jiuzun felt like he was suffocating.
"Don't you remember me?" Feng Jiuzun sat down.
Ye Ningxuan snorted. "My brother is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Do you think I don't remember you?"
"It's that serious? I'm sorry, I can visit the patient today. I'll pay for the medical fees." Feng Jiuzun apologized, but his expression didn't show any signs of guilt.
"Alright, I'll get someone to send the bill to the Feng family's residence. Mr. Feng, you have to keep your word," Ye Ningxuan said slowly.
Feng Jiuzun lowered his head and smiled. He also leaned in his chair and sized her up.
"With that small sum, I'll keep my word, but will Zhan Hanjue agree? Won't he be jealous that you're spending my money?'
"Of course not. My husband isn't a narrow-minded and stupid person who will go against money," Ye Ningxuan said confidently.
Feng Jiuzun sneered. "You know him well."
"Of course. He's my man. How could I not know what he's like?"
"You've only been married for a few days, yet you already think you know him. Have you forgotten that he had an ex before you?" Feng Jiuzun snorted.
Ye Ningxuan said, "Several exes. I wonder which one you're talking about?"
Feng Jiuzun was speechless.
This woman was quite carefree. She actually wasn't angry when her husband's ex was mentioned.
"Who else is worthy of being Zhan Hanjue's ex? Naturally, it's my sister, Feng Qianru. She was Zhan Hanjue's legal wife and his childhood sweetheart." Feng Jiuzun sneered arrogantly.
"So you're my ex-brother-in-law. Sorry for being rude." Ye Ningxuan looked surprised and then smiled.
Feng Jiuzun's expression darkened. "You're not angry?"
"Why should I be angry? We can be considered relatives. Don't worry, I'll give you a slight discount on the medical fees and send the bill over soon," Ye Ningxuan said with a smile.
"Why should I be angry? We can be considered relatives. Don't worry, I'll give you a slight discount on the medical fees and send the bill over soon," Ye Ningxuan said with a smile.
"Call me Young Master Feng."
Ex-brother-in-law? What a weird address.
"Young Master Feng is also here." Chen Tan walked over and greeted him. Then, he whispered to Ye Ningxuan, "Madam, I'll send you back."
Ye Ningxuan nodded and left with Chen Tan.
Feng Jiuzun gritted his teeth in anger.
This woman… this woman was really… different!
"Madam, why were you with Feng Jiuzun?" After leaving, Chen Tan asked curiously.
Ye Ningxuan said coldly, "Didn't you see that he sat there himself? I'm not his mother. How can I control his legs?"
Chen Tan was embarrassed and smiled awkwardly. "Indeed, even his mother probably can't control his legs. However, Feng Jiuzun… has never been on good terms with Mr. Zhan. You'd better be careful."
"How did Feng Qianru die?" Ye Ningxuan asked.
Chen Tan froze. He lowered his eyes and said, "She died of an illness, an acute illness."
Ye Ningxuan raised an eyebrow.
What kind of acute illness could kill someone at once?'
He was obviously fooling her and refusing to tell the truth.
However, Ye Ningxuan didn't expose him. After all, Zhan Hanjue didn't tell everyone that she was Bai Zhi. Why should she expose his lie?
"Let me escort you home, madam."
"Let's go to the hospital first. I'll go see Shao'er." Ye Ningxuan refused.
Chen Tan nodded and could only send her to the hospital first.
Ye Shao's condition had basically stabilized. Ye Ningxuan would get someone to send him food from home every day and cooked a specialized menu full of herbal ingredients.
Ye Ningxuan talked to him through the glass window for a while before leaving the hospital and going home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached home, Butler Wu came to look for her and said that the Ye family had sent someone over.
Ye Ningxuan raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "I'll go upstairs and change first. Tell him to wait."
"Yes." Butler Wu nodded.
Ye Ningxuan went upstairs to rest for a while and changed her clothes.
The Ye family members waiting in the living room were already impatient, but they didn't dare to show it. The two of them could only sit in their chairs in a daze.
Ye Ningxuan frowned.
She thought that the Ye family would send a servant over. At most, a male family member would come. She didn't expect them to send Ye Xuan and Ye Ya.
"Why are you guys here?" Ye Ningxuan asked coldly.
Ye Xuan and Ye Ya were stunned. They looked up at the same time and saw Ye Ningxuan. One looked embarrassed, and the other looked surprised.
"Ningxuan, you're finally back. We've been here for a while. The Zhan family's butler said that you weren't at home." Ye Xuan smiled and walked up to her.
She wanted to reach out and take her arm, but Ye Ningxuan avoided her unobtrusively.
"I just got back. Why are you looking for me?" Ye Ningxuan sat in a chair.
At this moment, the servant came over to deliver tea and snacks.
Ye Xuan gritted her teeth. She and Ye Ya had been here for so long, but the Zhan family had never sent her any tea.
Now that Ye Ningxuan had returned, she immediately sent tea and snacks. She was really a snob.
However, this was also her first time coming to the Zhan family's home. As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the Zhan family's home's magnificence.
As they walked, she was filled with regret.
If she hadn't listened to the rumors back then, she would have been the one sitting here now.
How could it be this wretched girl's turn?
