CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 299: THE LENG FAMILY SENDS A WEDDING INVITATION

"Wen Daofu doesn’t know?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ye Ningwan shook her head: "He said he doesn’t know, he’s just responsible for the pharmaceuticals and doesn’t know which psychologist Wan Yufeng knows."

"Is that believable? With his character, I always feel that what he says is unreliable."

Because Wen Daofu abandoned two women abruptly, causing them harm, Zhan Hanjue despised him and had strong doubts about his character.

Ye Ningwan said, "Wen Daofu said he didn’t know, so I thought of letting him stir things up to see if Wan Yufeng gets alerted and goes to find that psychologist. I’ve already arranged for people to watch them. If there’s any movement, report to me immediately. But, you need to send a few more people to support, keep an eye on both of them. Although I feel Wen Daofu isn’t lying, human nature is complex, and we can’t entirely trust him. Your concerns aren’t without reason."

Zhan Hanjue nodded.

At this moment, Housekeeper Wu came in, holding a wedding invitation.

"Whose wedding invitation is it?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Housekeeper Wu smiled and said, "It’s sent by the Leng Family. Young Master Ziqing is getting married, and Mrs. Leng sent the invitation for you and the Young Madam."

Ye Ningwan laughed and said, "There shouldn’t be my name on this invitation!"

Housekeeper Wu looked embarrassed.

Zhan Hanjue took the invitation and dismissed Housekeeper Wu.

Sure enough, there was only his name on it.

Zhan Hanjue casually tossed it aside: "Not going."

Ye Ningwan picked it up to see, and it turned out to be the wedding of Leng Ziqing and Zhang Meimei.

"Are they getting married?" Ye Ningwan was surprised.

Zhan Hanjue said, "I don’t know, I haven’t inquired about the Leng Family’s affairs for a long time."

"No wonder, Grandma was acting so strange earlier, looking unhappy. She didn’t want me to know and asked me to leave. I thought there was something she wanted to hide from me, turns out it was this." Ye Ningwan realized.

Zhan Hanjue frowned, "She went to bother Grandma?"

Ye Ningwan said, "Hardly bothering, maybe she just wants Grandma to attend the wedding. Despite the usual bad relationship, they are still family. Although they call her Mrs. Leng, she carries the Zhan surname too. Her son is getting married, and if no one from the Zhan Family attends, she would lose face completely. Even if she loses face, how can Leng Ziqing continue to live in Jiangcheng? The Zhang Family will mock her. So, even if relations are bad, she still comes to the Leng Family with an invitation."

"Even if it’s sent, we won’t go." Zhan Hanjue firmly stated.

"This matter, let’s see how Grandma feels about it!" Ye Ningwan said.

She asked He to inquire with the old lady.

Sure enough, He came back quickly, sheepishly saying, "A paternal uncle from the family came to mediate. Although the old lady was unwilling, Mrs. Chen said they still have to attend. Let Mr. Zhan prepare, just in case, he has to go over."

Zhan Hanjue frowned slightly.

"Grandma is really lacking principles."

Ye Ningwan said, "Grandma is looking at the larger picture, don’t be stubborn, even a family elder has come. If you refuse to give face, only Grandma would be put in a difficult position."

"She didn’t invite you, I don’t want to go." Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Ye Ningwan smiled and said, "She didn’t invite me, am I not going to show up uninvited? Rest assured, I will go with you when the time comes."

"You are willing to go?" Zhan Hanjue was surprised.

Because of Leng Ziqing and Wu Taotao’s relationship, he thought Ye Ningwan didn’t want to attend Leng Ziqing’s wedding.

Ye Ningwan said, "Why wouldn’t I want to? I want to watch him get married with my own eyes, and perhaps even offer blessings on Taotao’s behalf."

Zhan Hanjue: "..."

That’s not attending a wedding, that’s crashing it.

Leng Ziqing didn’t even want to marry Zhang Meimei, hearing Wu Taotao’s name, how can he go through with it?

He thought she had let go just now, but indeed she is his Wanwan, with a strong sense of revenge!

But... he likes it very much.

"Alright, if you want to go, then let’s go!" Zhan Hanjue agreed.

"By the way, almost forgot something." Ye Ningwan said again.

"What is it?"

"Previously, when I was imprisoned by Feng Jiuzun, he was on a phone call with Li Qingqing. Their relationship is quite subtle, they have no tacit understanding as comrades at all, nor do they trust each other, more like they are forced allies due to certain interests. Feng Jiuzun said something at the time, ’Don’t forget, what you want is in my hand.’ This sentence, upon closer reflection, is very subtle. It means Li Qingqing wants something, but only Feng Jiuzun has it. So, Li Qingqing had to help Feng Jiuzun. Today, when I was talking to Wen Daofu, I suddenly thought of this, what do you think Feng Jiuzun has that would make Li Qingqing patiently assist him?"

"I don’t know, but we’ll know by asking." Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan was surprised: "You want to go to the Feng Family?"

"Why not?" Zhan Hanjue scoffed, "I haven’t even settled accounts with him for imprisoning you. My inaction doesn’t mean I don’t care or I’ve forgotten, it’s just a matter of prioritizing. Since I now know he has something Li Qingqing wants, this matter is significant. So we’re going to find him, maybe we can grab hold of Li Qingqing’s weakness."

"Forget it, better not go. When he sees you, it’s like a dog seeing... ahem, a fairy, how could I bear letting him look at you a few more times?" Zhan Hanjue, recalling Feng Jiuzun’s infatuation with Ye Ningwan, immediately grew jealous and retracted his decision.

Ye Ningwan laughed and said, "You meant to say, he sees me as a dog sees a bun, right? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in him. However, it’s better if I go with you, in case he’s unwilling to tell you, maybe he’d be willing to tell me."

"Then I definitely can’t let you come with me." Zhan Hanjue said resolutely.

"Don’t be so petty, our goal is to catch Li Qingqing’s weakness, let me go." Ye Ningwan coaxed.

Zhan Hanjue couldn’t bear to refuse her coaxing, and nodded in no time.

However, he regretted it immediately after nodding but couldn’t go back on his word.

The two headed to the Feng Family together.

Old Master Feng was advanced in years and in poor health, he had long stopped seeing people.

So, he was living out his remaining years within the deep mansion.

The Feng Family was now under the management of Feng Huai.

It wasn’t that he was particularly competent, or that Old Master Feng favored this youngest son.

But because the other Feng brothers had their own businesses, only Feng Huai inherited the Feng Group and remained unmarried without children.

So he was the freest.

All significant matters of the Feng Family naturally fell onto him.

Zhan Hanjue’s sudden visit caught Feng Huai off guard.

"What’s he doing here? Our Feng Family and the Zhan Family stopped associating long ago, and there’s no contact."

Suddenly thinking of Feng Jiuzun at home, his expression darkened, and he immediately called Feng Jiuzun over: "Did you stir up trouble again?"
