CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98: LEARNING TO BE A GOOD HUSBAND

Ye Ningwan trusted Zhan Hanjue’s words, so two days later, when exchanging information with Wen Jianan, she relayed Zhan Hanjue’s message to him.

Wen Jianan didn’t believe it: "You believe what he said?"

"Of course, I believe," Ye Ningwan said, "He has no reason to lie to me."

"Naive." Wen Jianan sneered.

Ye Ningwan said, "I’ve already told you what I’ve found out, are you going to keep your promise?"

"I looked into it, no idea." Wen Jianan said coldly.

Ye Ningwan snorted, "Wen Jianan, is this what it means to be untrustworthy? I helped you find out what you wanted to know, and now you tell me you don’t know what I want to find out?"

"I didn’t break my word," Wen Jianan said anxiously, "I really looked into it, his friends, the servants at home, but they all said they don’t know. So the result I found is, I don’t know."

"Besides, your result may not even be true. Should I just believe him when he denies he was involved? Your answer is no better than my ’I don’t know’." Wen Jianan muttered quietly.

Ye Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we continue to cooperate once more, exchanging information. This time, I’ll help you find the cause of your cousin’s death, and in return, you not only have to help me find out if your father learned from another school but also if he has another child."

Wen Jianan: "..."

"What nonsense, how could he have another child?"

"Just look into it."

"Ye Ningwan, do you know something?" Wen Jianan asked solemnly.

Ye Ningwan said, "I do know something, but you need to help me find out what I want to know before I tell you. Ask me now, and I won’t say anything."

"Fine, I’ll help you find out, but how many days as the deadline?" Wen Jianan asked.

Ye Ningwan said, "This is difficult, so let’s not set a time limit. Whenever you know the result, we’ll exchange information. But before that, don’t look at me with that hateful expression. We are classmates after all, seeing your gloomy face every day puts me in a bad mood."

Wen Jianan: "..."

Watching Ye Ningwan’s departing figure, he was both angry and helpless.

This woman really is... annoying!

Ye Ningwan called Wu over and handed over the task of investigating Li Weiluo to Wu.

She naturally wouldn’t look into it herself, no time or energy.

It was certainly faster to have Wu investigate.

She didn’t plan on hiding it from Zhan Hanjue, and by giving the task to Wu, Wu would undoubtedly report back to Zhan Hanjue.

As expected, Zhan Hanjue knew about it by evening and asked her why she was looking into Li Weiluo.

Ye Ningwan didn’t hide it from him and told him about her deal with Wen Jianan.

Zhan Hanjue nodded after hearing it, and didn’t say much.

"Don’t you want to ask me why I’m investigating Wen Daofu?"

"You have your reasons, not everything needs to be known by me," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed his chin, "Mr. Zhan seems to understand how couples should interact quite well, who taught you?"

Flattered, Zhan Hanjue’s ears turned red, and he coughed lightly: "An expert gave me some pointers."

Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You really learned from someone else?"

"It’s my first time seriously being a husband, no experience, learning a bit is not bad," Zhan Hanjue explained earnestly.

Ye Ningwan almost laughed to death.

She really wanted to ask who taught him how to be a husband.

But since he didn’t tell her voluntarily, he might want to keep a little secret, so she didn’t ask.

"By the way, are those girls still hanging around your company? Did you find out who’s behind it?" Ye Ningwan changed the subject.

Bringing up this matter, Zhan Hanjue’s face turned grim.

"I found out."

"Who?"

"Feng Jiuzun?"

"Him? Nothing better to do, right! Actually, I think, maybe you should just tell him the truth. To stop him from bothering you, since it’s been so many years. Seems like he really cares about his sister, if he knows she’s still alive, he won’t mess with you anymore," Ye Ningwan suggested.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head, "I promised Feng Qianru not to tell anyone."

"Alright, handle it yourself," Ye Ningwan didn’t press further.

But Zhan Hanjue should have given Feng Jiuzun a good lesson.

Ye Ningwan heard from Wu that those girls waiting at the company for Zhan Hanjue were all kicked out.

If they dared to return, they’d be sent directly to the police station.

But Feng Jiuzun wasn’t going to quiet down so easily.

Ye Ningwan was preparing to go to the cafeteria at school when she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

She glanced at the caller ID and directly hung up.

A moment later, that number called again.

"Hello."

"Ye Ningwan, it’s me." A man’s voice came from the other end.

Ye Ningwan snorted, "Who are you?"

There was a pause and then an incredulous angry shout: "Ye Ningwan, you don’t even remember me?"

"Crazy." Ye Ningwan hung up the phone.

Moments later that number dialed again.

Ye Ningwan answered.

This time, the caller quickly identified himself: "It’s Feng Jiuzun."

Actually, after hanging up, Ye Ningwan had already realized.

That voice did belong to Feng Jiuzun?

If she didn’t know it was him, she wouldn’t have answered a third time.

"What’s the matter?"

"Of course, there’s something. Your cousin Ye Xuan is with me. If you want her to be safe, come find me," Feng Jiuzun said arrogantly.

Ye Ningwan chuckled, "Wishing you both a long and happy life together, and many children."

With that, she hung up.

When Feng Jiuzun called again, Ye Ningwan refused to answer.

Jin Yingzi curiously asked, "Ningwan, who’s calling you nonstop?"

"A nutcase, don’t bother with him," Ye Ningwan said.

Jin Yingzi pursed her lips, hesitatingly saying, "Ningwan, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with."

"What is it? Just say it, no need to be so formal with me." Ye Ningwan said.

Jin Yingzi said, "It’s like this, I saw your family has a plot of land for growing herbs, and a pharmacy for making medicine. The last time you gave those medicines to me, I sent them to my mom, and she said they’re very effective. Did you mix them yourself? Could you teach me? I’d like to learn so I can make medicine for my mom."

Ye Ningwan said, "Since your mom found the medicine helpful, I’ll mix some more for you. But I can’t teach you how to mix medicine, I have a master, and the rules of the school don’t allow sharing the knowledge, I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that."

"No problem, it was presumptuous of me to ask." Jin Yingzi shook her head quickly, face turning red with embarrassment.

Ye Ningwan thought for a moment, "Although I can’t teach you how to mix medicine, I can teach you how to grow herbs. Cultivated herbs aren’t as effective as wild ones, but knowing how to grow them yourself can save a lot of trouble."

"Really, Ningwan, thank you so much," Jin Yingzi said, feeling touched.

Ye Ningwan said, "It’s nothing, you can come to my house to find me on Saturday."
