CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 135: YOU’RE THE ONE WHO MAKES ME FEEL WRONGED

"Uncle, do we know each other?"

Ningwan was being stared at by a middle-aged man for a while. She couldn’t help but slightly frown and asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man walked over and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you Ye Ningwan?"

Ningwan nodded.

She carefully recalled, ensuring she had never seen this person before and didn’t know him.

"My name is Zhang Wenchi. A few days ago, you had a conflict with someone named Zhang Meimei. I’m her father," the middle-aged man introduced himself.

Ningwan raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Wenchi?

Deputy Mayor?

Could he be here for payback?

"Are you here to hold me accountable? About that day..."

"I know, what happened that day wasn’t your fault. My daughter has been pampered since childhood, and her personality is somewhat spoiled and willful. She must have started it," Zhang Wenchi interrupted her.

Ningwan raised her eyebrow again. So he’s not here for payback.

However, he seems to have a thorough understanding of his daughter’s character.

"Since you know, I won’t say more. This is a family matter, and it’s not my place to comment. In short, she’s still young, and there’s still time to guide her."

If taught well, she could behave more sensibly when clashing with Wu Taotao in the future.

Zhang Wenchi smiled, "You’re not much older than Meimei, no need to act seasoned. I even visited you after you were born back then. You probably don’t remember those things. I even gave you a longevity lock, wishing for your safe life."

"Do you know my mother?" Ningwan asked.

That day, Zhang Meimei cursed her mother as a vixen, and she had already vaguely guessed a bit.

Her mother was once the most beautiful woman in Jiangcheng, naturally having many suitors in her youth.

Zhang Wenchi nodded, "It was a long time ago, and I never thought your mother would pass away so early. You look very much like your mother."

As Zhang Wenchi spoke, his gaze became somewhat distant when looking at her.

As if he was looking at another person through her.

"Ningning."

Zhan Hanjue walked over with large strides, startling Zhang Wenchi.

As the richest man in Jiangcheng and the biggest taxpayer, Zhang Wenchi, of course, recognized Zhan Hanjue.

He nodded slightly and greeted Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue responded, then bent down to ask Ningwan, "Are you okay?"

"No," Ningwan answered in a low voice.

Zhang Wenchi said, "Miss Ye, regarding the previous matter, it was indeed Meimei’s fault. Please forgive her willfulness and don’t be offended. I’ll leave now, and if there’s anything, feel free to find me."

"Take care, Mayor Zhang," Ningwan smiled.

After Zhang Wenchi left, Zhan Hanjue immediately asked, "What did he say to you?"

Ningwan said, "It’s nothing, he just came to apologize, saying his daughter is spoiled and willful, asking me not to hold it against her."

"If he ever wrongs you, just let me know," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ningwan laughed, "But he’s the mayor, aren’t you afraid?"

"What about the mayor? No one is allowed to wrong you," Zhan Hanjue said dominantly yet affectionately.

Ningwan curved her lips and demanded haughtily, "I want bubble tea; push me to buy some."

"That stuff isn’t good, too many additives." Zhan Hanjue refused with a stern face.

Ningwan pouted, "Just now you said no one could wrong me, but it seems like you’re the first one to do so."

The man looked at her speechlessly.

Forced her to turn around once, then pushed her back to the ward.

However, as soon as they entered the ward, Ningwan saw several cups of bubble tea on the table.

All different flavors, all ones she loves.

"You can only choose one," the man said with a grim face.

Ningwan curled her lips.

Just said she can’t have it because of the additives, and now he secretly bought it for her.

Truly a hard mouth and a soft heart.

"The one with pearls, I like pearls,"

Zhan Hanjue smiled and handed her the bubble tea with pearls, inserting the straw to let her drink.

The rest were taken away by the caregivers.

In the afternoon, Jin Yingzi indeed came.

As soon as she entered, she started crying, apologizing while crying, "Ningwan, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. It’s my fault for getting you involved."

"You didn’t deceive me, and if it were me going into the mountains, you would have come to find me as well," Ningwan said.

Then she continued, "Besides, I must thank you for notifying Zhan Hanjue in time, letting him come in to find me. When Wen Jianan and I went inside, there was no signal, and I couldn’t make a call."

"I don’t know who was so wicked to deceive you with this. Luckily, nothing happened; otherwise, I would never forgive myself," Jin Yingzi wept again.

Ningwan handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.

Jin Yingzi choked for a while before lifting her head to ask, "Was Mr. Zhan not angry? That day, his expression was terrifying when he went into the mountains and when he saw you with the class monitor, I feared he might harm you."

"You weren’t worried he’d hospitalize me, were you?" Ningwan laughed.

Jin Yingzi blushed, lowering her head in shame.

Ningwan said, "He was just worried about me, not angry, and definitely not jealous. So don’t worry, I’m fine."

"Mr. Zhan is so good to you, truly enviable," Jin Yingzi sighed.

"You can also find a boyfriend who will treat you just as well," Ningwan said.

Jin Yingzi shook her head with a flushed face, "I don’t want a boyfriend; I just want to focus on my studies and help my mother recover."

"That’s also good; girls should have their own careers before talking about feelings," Ningwan said.

"Ningwan, you and the class monitor... what’s going on between you two?" Jin Yingzi bit her lip, asking tentatively.

Ningwan was stunned for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Wen Jianan? Just ordinary classmates, what’s up?"

Jin Yingzi hesitated to speak.

Ningwan said, "What happened? Yingzi, you can’t hide things from me."

Jin Yingzi bit her lip again and softly said, "I heard the class monitor got suspended from school. I’m not sure why, but it seems related to Mr. Zhan. They say it involves both Mr. Zhan and you, that because the class monitor and you seemed ambiguous, Mr. Zhan went to the school to have him suspended. Although the class monitor’s father is Professor Wen, a professor can’t stop it."

Ningwan: "..."

"When did this happen?"

"Yesterday, I thought you knew."

She didn’t know a thing.

Ningwan’s face turned pale with anger.

Zhan Hanjue really is...

She had already explained to him that there was nothing between her and Wen Jianan, and yet he got so jealous he had him suspended?

"Yingzi, you should go. I have some matters to deal with here."

"Ning Zi, you’re not angry, are you? Please don’t tell Mr. Zhan I told you this, he’ll be mad at me," Jin Yingzi said cautiously.

Indeed, many people were afraid of Zhan Hanjue.

After all, he is all-powerful.

Even a professor’s son could be suspended just like that, who wouldn’t fear him?

"Don’t worry, I understand," Ningwan nodded with a stern face.

After Jin Yingzi left, she immediately called Zhan Hanjue, asking him to come back.
