CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 165: WE MUST GO TO THE LENG FAMILY

Ningwan got up to open the door, Wu Wei and Tingyu were both standing at the entrance.

However, upon opening the door, she saw Wu Wei staring intently at Tingyu.

Until she called out, "Wu Wei."

Wu Wei came back to himself, coughed lightly, and said, "I have some leads on the matter you asked me to investigate. Let’s go inside to talk."

He walked in, but was stopped by Ningwan.

"Just discuss it at the door! No need to go inside," Ningwan said.

Wu Wei frowned, looked at her perplexingly, "Is there someone inside?"

"Yes, Wangyue is inside eating ice cream."

Ningwan knew Wu Wei had a keen sense of smell, with such a large tub of ice cream, he would definitely smell it.

"Are you sure you want to talk here?" Wu Wei glanced at Tingyu again.

Tingyu glared at him fiercely with her eyes.

What do you mean?

Make me an outsider?

Wu Wei’s face reddened.

He didn’t want to treat her as an outsider, but he was afraid Ningwan wouldn’t agree.

"Tingyu, you leave first, I have something to say to Wu Wei," Ningwan said.

Tingyu nodded, gave Wu Wei a glance, and returned to her guest room.

Being glanced at by Tingyu, Wu Wei’s heart raced, he hurriedly took a deep breath to calm down, and informed Ningwan of the investigation results.

"I found nothing."

Ningwan: "..."

"And yet you avoided people."

"However, I did find out another group is investigating this matter," Wu Wei added.

"What kind of people? The Zhan Family?"

"No, it’s the Leng Family," Wu Wei said.

Ningwan frowned.

Lady Leng?

"People from the Leng Family are also investigating, and have been for many years, never stopping," Wu Wei said.

"I understand," Ningwan nodded.

"Do you still want to keep investigating?" Wu Wei asked.

Ningwan said, "For now, that’s enough, if there’s anything, I’ll contact you. If nothing, you may leave!"

"There is a slight matter," Wu Wei hesitated.

Ningwan frowned.

Wu Wei is normally candid, never hesitant or dragging things out, what’s wrong today?

"What is it?"

"Uh... that girl earlier... named Tingyu?" Wu Wei hesitantly asked.

Ningwan nodded, "Yes, any issues?"

"No issues, just asking," Wu Wei blushed and lowered his head.

Ningwan raised her eyebrows, promptly smiled and asked, "What, do you fancy her?"

Wu Wei’s face reddened even more.

Silent, but equivalent to admitting.

Ningwan chuckled and said, "I’ll take a moment to ask her if she has a boyfriend. If not, you can pursue her."

"I was just asking, alright, I’m leaving first."

Wu Wei blushed like anything, immediately turned around and left.

However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and quietly said, "Let me know once you’ve asked."

"Understood."

Ningwan smiled watching him leave.

As he walked into the elevator, closing the door.

Wu Taotao and Wangyue heard the sound of the door closing, only then poked their heads out from the bathroom.

"He’s gone?"

"Yes, he’s gone, come out!"

Ningwan sat on the sofa, poured herself a cup of tea.

After the rain, Longjing tea, the taste was quite good.

"Was that your brother earlier?" Wangyue asked.

Wu Taotao nodded, "Yeah, straight-minded. If he knew I got beaten, he’d definitely fight. Although normally he loves teasing me, knowing I got bullied would make him very angry."

"Having a brother is surely nice," Wangyue said with envy.

Wu Taotao asked, "Do you have siblings?"

Wangyue shook her head, "I’m an orphan, adopted by the Xie Family, raised with Tingyu, Shangxue, Xunyou. Even my name was given by Young Master Xie, I don’t even know my own surname."

"From now on, we’re sisters, my brother is your brother," Wu Taotao comforted, patting her shoulder.

Wangyue happily nodded.

However, recalling what she heard earlier, she hurriedly asked Ningwan, "Miss Ye, is Miss Wu’s brother asking about Sister Tingyu? Why?"

"My brother fancies your Sister Tingyu, I’ve said we’re sisters, call me Taotao from now on, don’t call me Miss Wu, it sounds awkward."

"It’s the first time someone likes Sister Tingyu, if Sister Tingyu knows, she would definitely be happy," Wangyue said cheerfully.

Ningwan said, "Don’t tell Tingyu yet, in case she doesn’t like him, and rejects Wu Wei outright, leaving him no chance to struggle."

"Mm, I won’t say."

"Taotao, you said today’s Leng Ziqing’s birthday? But why isn’t the Leng Family celebrating?" Ningwan asked.

Wu Taotao explained, "I heard Senior Brother Wei say today’s his real birthday, three days later is his official birthday. By then, there will be a grand feast, inviting guests. I’m not going, today he didn’t help me, let that girl beat me, I no longer want to see him."

Saying that, Wu Taotao lowered her head, her eyes reddening again.

Wangyue also said indignantly, "Right, such a man should never be involved with again."

"I hope you really can control yourself," Ningwan said with a skeptical expression.

Wu Taotao said, "I definitely can control myself this time."

"I’ll be attending the Cold Family’s banquet in three days," Ningwan said.

Wu Taotao widened her eyes, "What are you going for?"

"To avenge you, and coincidentally, check on some things at the Leng Family."

Wangyue quickly asked, "To find the medicine to save our Young Master Xie?"

Ningwan nodded, "So, you and Tingyu prepare birthday gifts in the next two days. Then, bring the Xie Family’s invitation over when the time comes."

If she goes alone, she might not even get in.

But using the Xie Family’s invitation, the Leng Family is sure to give her this favor.

As soon as Wangyue heard that she could find the medicine to treat their Young Master Xie at the Leng Family, she immediately stood up and said, "I’m going to find Sister Tingyu to prepare birthday gifts and invitations."

Wu Taotao watched as she ran out in a fluster.

Frowned and asked, "Are you really planning to go to the Leng Family?"

"Of course, besides avenging you, there’s some business to investigate. But remember what you said about not dealing with Leng Ziqing, I’ll be at the birthday banquet too, so don’t let me see you there," Ningwan reminded her.

Wu Taotao pouted, "Don’t you like me being with him?"

"It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that the two of you are simply not suitable."

"Then what about you and Zhan Hanjue? Did you resolve the misunderstanding after spending so long together? Yet Old Mrs. Zhan didn’t like you either, but you’re still with him," Wu Taotao muttered.

Ningwan said seriously, "How can Leng Ziqing be compared to Zhan Hanjue? No matter what, Zhan Hanjue would at least protect me. If anyone attacked me, he would never turn a blind eye. But Leng Ziqing would, indicating he didn’t care much about you. The main reason I oppose you two being together is because in this relationship, you’re more in love, but he is not."

Wu Taotao lowered her head.

Ningwan was right.

Being hit by Zhang Meimei today didn’t hurt as much.

It was Leng Ziqing’s attitude that hurt, how could he turn a blind eye and say they were just classmates?
