CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 95: THE REASON HE HATES HER

Although Ye Ningwan didn’t spend much time at school, she could roughly tell that Wen Jianan didn’t get along well with his father, Professor Wen.

So, she intentionally mentioned his identity as Professor Wen’s son.

Sure enough, Wen Jianan became even angrier and snapped, "Who asked you to see things from his perspective? I have nothing to do with him."

Ye Ningwan sneered, "In that case, I don’t have to care about you. Without the halo of being Professor Wen’s son, who do you think you are?"

"You..."

"Ningwan."

Jin Yingzi noticed that Wen Jianan was about to explode, and quickly pulled Ye Ningwan’s sleeve, urging her to stop.

Ye Ningwan said, "It’s not impossible to talk to me, but as an exchange, you ask me a question, and in return, you must answer one of my questions."

"Fine." Wen Jianan agreed.

He really wanted to talk to her now, so much so that he was too annoyed to argue and could only agree to everything.

"Yingzi, you go have lunch first and get a portion for me, the usual one. If I don’t show up, just throw it away." Ye Ningwan handed her meal card to Jin Yingzi.

Jin Yingzi nodded but asked uneasily, "There won’t be any trouble, right?"

"Of course not. Our class leader isn’t Zhao Wei; he wouldn’t do something like kidnapping." Ye Ningwan sneered.

Wen Jianan’s face grew darker, and he said angrily after Jin Yingzi left, "Don’t compare me to someone like Zhao Wei."

"But to me, there’s no difference between you guys. You’re all unfamiliar classmates." Ye Ningwan responded.

"Your ability to irritate people is truly remarkable." Wen Jianan mocked.

Ye Ningwan laughed, "Thank you for the compliment, but if others don’t provoke me, I wouldn’t waste my breath."

"You’re implying that I provoked you?"

"Last time you could have testified for me, yet claimed you saw nothing. Isn’t that provoking me?" Ye Ningwan reminded.

Wen Jianan sneered, "It’s been so long, yet you remember it. You’re really vengeful."

"Of course, reciprocity is a fine tradition among us Chinese." Ye Ningwan laughed.

"Let’s go! This place is too crowded to talk." Wen Jianan led her to the shaded path.

The two found a deserted spot, stopped, and talked while standing.

Actually, there was a bench nearby, but neither of them sat down.

Their relationship hadn’t reached the level where they could sit and chat.

"What do you want to discuss?" Ye Ningwan asked.

"Does Huang Yunmeng’s departure have anything to do with you?" Wen Jianan asked.

Ye Ningwan sneered, "Why, do you like her? She pestered you so much when she was around, yet you never showed her a good face. Now that she’s gone, you discover it’s true love? Since you’ve found out it’s true love, go after her, ask me all you want, but if it’s related to me, do you intend to avenge her?"

"I don’t like her," Wen Jianan said, "I just want to know if it has anything to do with you."

"If you don’t like her, why are you asking so much? Isn’t the class leader overstepping his bounds?" Ye Ningwan ridiculed.

"Is it Zhan Hanjue, right?" Wen Jianan questioned.

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow, "You know Zhan Hanjue?"

"Of course, I know. I also know you are Zhan Hanjue’s wife." Wen Jianan said coldly.

Ye Ningwan suddenly understood.

No wonder Wen Jianan had been sarcastic towards her from the start, as if she owed him eight million.

Turns out, it was related to Zhan Hanjue.

"You have a grudge against Zhan Hanjue?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Wen Jianan shouted, "If it hadn’t been for him insisting on marrying my cousin, she wouldn’t have committed suicide."

Cousin?

Suicide?

Ye Ningwan suddenly remembered that Zhan Hanjue once had a fiancée who suddenly committed suicide the night before their wedding.

This was the second death incident following Feng Qianru.

From then on, Zhan Hanjue gained fame, becoming known as the "Living Yama."

"So, you’re also the former brother-in-law." Ye Ningwan said.

"Not the former brother-in-law. My cousin never married him." Wen Jianan said.

Ye Ningwan said, "Alright, then not the former brother-in-law. So, your dislike for me is because you dislike Zhan Hanjue?"

"Yes, if it weren’t for him, my cousin wouldn’t have died." Wen Jianan clenched his fist.

Ye Ningwan asked, "Did Zhan Hanjue kill your cousin?"

"No, she committed suicide, but despite the lack of evidence proving he killed her, it’s undoubtedly related to him."

Ye Ningwan sneered sarcastically, "Class Leader Wen, let’s not discuss why your cousin committed suicide. As a doctor, although we study Chinese medicine, it’s still medicine, not theology. Do you truly believe this idea of Zhan Hanjue being cursed to cause his wife’s death? Can a person possess such a powerful energy field to curse those around him to death? Do you have a brain?"

"Ye Ningwan."

"I’m just stating the facts. Furthermore, even if your cousin died because of him, you should confront Zhan Hanjue, not show hostility towards me. What, afraid to confront him, so you look for trouble with me because you bully the weak and fear the strong?" Ye Ningwan sneered.

Wen Jianan was infuriated by Ye Ningwan.

After holding back his anger for a moment, he calmly said, "I’m not saying he cursed them to death, I suspect my cousin’s death is related to him. Over the years, every woman he’s married died, all related to him, one after another. Don’t you find this suspicious? You are his fourth wife, don’t you want to know why?"

"I don’t want to know. If you want to play detective, go ahead. But I warn you, don’t involve me. You know I’m his wife, so if you mean harm to him, I absolutely won’t let you off." Ye Ningwan warned coldly.

"Aren’t you afraid of death?" Wen Jianan asked.

Ye Ningwan sneered, "I cherish my own life, no need for you to worry about it. Alright, since you’ve asked me a question, I’m going to ask you one: your family is a distinguished Chinese medicine family, is Professor Wen’s knowledge inherited, or did he study under someone outside?"

"Why are you asking this?" Wen Jianan frowned.

Ye Ningwan said, "Why I ask is not your concern. You just need to tell me."

"I don’t know, I’m unaware of everything about him." Wen Jianan said with a solemn face.

"Are you really father and son? You don’t know even such things?" Ye Ningwan teased.

Wen Jianan angrily said, "What does it matter to you? You do talk a lot."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

"If you don’t want to say, then don’t. Don’t speak to me in the future." Ye Ningwan turned around angrily and walked away.

But shortly afterwards, Wen Jianan caught up, "Sorry, my attitude was wrong just now. Although I don’t know, I can inquire. So can you help me investigate some things too?"

"Investigate if Zhan Hanjue sent someone to kill your cousin?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Wen Jianan said, "This also concerns your life. Don’t you want to know the truth? If he did murder my cousin, he’ll eventually kill you too."

"Alright, I’ll agree with you, in two days we exchange information." Ye Ningwan agreed.
