CHAPTER 234: CHAPTER 234: TRYING EVERY WAY TO PLEASE

Ye Ningwan looked at Zhan Hanjue with a half-smile, "What, is there something you’re hiding from me at home?"

"It’s nothing major, come on, let’s go in!"

Ye Ningwan pouted, "Fine, don’t tell me then. I’m not that desperate to know."

But she very soon found out.

Leng Linglong came again.

Housekeeper Wu didn’t expect her to come back.

Or perhaps she never left, just waiting outside the Zhan Family for Zhan Hanjue to return.

After arriving, she ignored Housekeeper Wu’s attempts to stop her and rushed directly in front of Ye Ningwan.

"Ye Ningwan, you have to help me."

Ye Ningwan looked at her in surprise, "Miss Leng? When did you come back?"

"Not long after you left, I came back. I even attended Zhan Hanjue’s wedding last time, but you didn’t see me," Leng Linglong said.

Ye Ningwan replied, "I didn’t really pay attention at the time, but what’s the matter?"

"Ye Ningwan, you have to help me. Last time in He City, I treated you so well, gave you so much good food, you can’t forget that," Leng Linglong said urgently.

Seeing her in such a desperate state, Ye Ningwan quickly nodded and said, "I remember, I won’t forget. But you’ll have to tell me what’s happened first, so I can help you."

"It’s..."

"Leng Linglong."

Zhan Hanjue came over with a stern face, interrupting Leng Linglong harshly.

Leng Linglong got scared and hid behind Ye Ningwan, "Ningwan sister, help me."

Previously she called her Ye Ningwan, now she was calling her sister.

Ye Ningwan sighed.

Since she called her sister, she had to protect her.

"Why be so fierce, you’re scaring the young girl," Ye Ningwan awkwardly tried to persuade.

Zhan Hanjue said coldly, "You don’t need to get involved in this. Leng Linglong, our Zhan Family has nothing to do with your Leng Family anymore, stop coming to our house."

"Zhan Hanjue, that was cold and heartless. Our families are in-laws, so many years now, and you speak as if cutting ties," Leng Linglong accused angrily.

Zhan Hanjue said seriously, "That, you’ll have to tell your aunt. Leave now, the Zhan Family doesn’t welcome you."

"Ningwan sister," Leng Linglong pleaded to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan said helplessly, "Linglong, don’t worry. You also know his temper, I’m also in a difficult spot."

"But wouldn’t it have been better to first tell Miss Ye what’s going on?" Wangyue said from the side.

Ye Ningwan nodded.

This girl really was still naive, causing a fuss and not even stating the main issue.

"Yes, yes, yes, I need to say what’s happening. It’s like this, you help me rescue Bai Qishu, Bai Qishu must have been locked up by Zhan Hanjue," Leng Linglong said without a pause.

"Bai Qishu?" Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow.

Zhan Hanjue said with a stern face, "Leng Linglong, how many times do I have to tell you that Bai Qishu is not with me."

"How could he not be, he is. Bai Wenjing has checked, Bai Qishu was with Li Qingqing. You took down Li Qingqing’s old nest, surely you know where Bai Qishu is. You resent him for poisoning the old lady, and for poisoning you, so you must have locked him up for revenge."

"I think you’ve come under the sway of Bai Wenjing for the seductive medicine. Someone, get this girl out of here," Zhan Hanjue snapped.

Housekeeper Wu had already brought people over.

Two strong maids came over, each took one of Leng Linglong’s arms, trying to drag her out.

Leng Linglong was so anxious that she yelled, pleading to Ye Ningwan, "Ningwan sister, help me, save me."

Ye Ningwan said in a difficult spot, "Linglong, how am I supposed to help you with this? Zhan Hanjue already said he isn’t here, he wouldn’t lie. Maybe you should search somewhere else?"

She’s not a Holy Mother White Lotus; Bai Qishu had caused her so much suffering, help her, fat chance.

"Hmph, I trusted you so much, and you don’t even help me. You’re all bad people."

Before leaving, Leng Linglong was so furious that she stomped her foot accusingly.

Ye Ningwan could only give her a helpless look, and once she was taken away, her expression immediately changed as she excitedly asked Zhan Hanjue, "Did you really capture Bai Qishu? Where is he? Let me see him."

Zhan Hanjue looked at her starry-eyed, enthusiastic appearance, frowning slightly and asked, "Why are you so excited?"

"Because even though Bai Qishu is despicable, I can’t deny that he’s a genius. Bai Wenjing got the real knowledge from his parents, and even after the formula was destroyed, he couldn’t make Chasing Silk, but Bai Qishu did. And he also knows about grafting poisons. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s fascinating to think about, I’d like to spar with him."

"Sorry to disappoint you, he’s really not here. I did send people to look for him, but they couldn’t find him," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan was disappointed, "He’s really not here, such a pity. By the way, how’s Li Qingqing?"

"Taken by the Philadelphia mental hospital, you can’t see her now, don’t know what’s going on," Zhan Hanjue’s gaze turned cold.

Ye Ningwan also frowned.

If even Zhan Hanjue couldn’t see her, it seemed someone is really protecting her.

"But don’t worry, I’m thinking of ways. Shopping all day today was exhausting, let’s rest early; tomorrow morning we set off."

"Set off? Where to?" Ye Ningwan was shocked.

Not shopping again, right!

She didn’t want to go shopping with him again.

Bought so many things, she didn’t even know where to put them all.

If time could rewind, she would really want to slap her yesterday-self awake.

Never mention shopping to him.

"Back to Tan Village."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

After answering, Zhan Hanjue turned around and left.

It took Ye Ningwan a good while to come to her senses, wanting to ask him something, but when she turned around, he was already gone.

Wangyue asked curiously, "Miss Ye, what kind of place is Tan Village?"

"My hometown," Ye Ningwan said, "Or rather, where I grew up."

"Are there good things to eat there?" Wangyue asked with shining eyes.

Ye Ningwan smiled gently, "Of course, there are lots of delicious things. It’s near mountains and water, wild game on the mountains, fish and shrimp in the water, wild fruits all over, the taste is not bad."

"Great, are we leaving tomorrow morning? I have to prepare," Wangyue said excitedly, her cheeks flushed as she skipped away.

Ye Ningwan curved her lips.

Watching outside in a trance, she couldn’t clearly say what feeling she had inside.

She casually mentioned it, never thought Zhan Hanjue would take it to heart.

Chen Tan said he’s been really busy lately too.

Yet, he was willing to set everything aside and accompany her back to her hometown.

***********

"Miss Ye, your hometown is really beautiful. I didn’t expect we had to take a water route too. But why do I feel a bit seasick?"

Ye Ningwan and company first took a car, then took a boat back to Tan Village.

Tan Village is a township under Jiangcheng, but it’s located deep in the mountains, in a remote area.

There’s still no road into the mountains, so you can only go by water route.

When they first got on the boat, Wangyue was very happy, squatting on the boat, playing with the water.

But soon enough, she got seasick.

Leaning over the side of the boat, she vomited profusely.
