CHAPTER 254: CHAPTER 254: I AVENGED YOU

Ye Ningwan was about to leave with Zhan Hanjue when Feng Jiuzun suddenly shouted, "Ye Ningwan, do you still... like me a little bit?"

Zhan Hanjue’s face was dark, as if he wanted to strangle him on the spot.

Feng Huai kicked him in anger, "Don’t you know there’s a saying, ’if you don’t ask for trouble, you won’t get into trouble’? What nonsense are you spouting in front of her man?"

"I know you still like me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have spoken for me just now," Feng Jiuzun insisted.

Ye Ningwan sighed and stopped Zhan Hanjue, who wanted to rush over and beat him, saying, "Feng Jiuzun, I know that many average guys have one characteristic."

"Average guys? What does that mean?" Feng Jiuzun asked, puzzled.

He couldn’t understand, and neither could Feng Huai or Zhan Hanjue.

Ye Ningwan coughed lightly and explained, "It means a normal guy who’s overly confident."

Everyone: "..."

Zhan Hanjue and Feng Huai immediately smirked.

This term definitely doesn’t describe men like them.

Feng Jiuzun’s face turned red with anger, "Ye Ningwan."

Ye Ningwan shrugged, "I can’t help it; I don’t want to describe you this way. But you really fit the typical average guy’s profile. When a woman looks at you more than once, you think it’s love. When she says more than a word to you, you imagine a whole melodrama. I wasn’t stopping Zhan Hanjue from causing you trouble to protect you. It’s just that less trouble is better. Also, you’ve been quite nice to me these past couple of days, serving me good food and drink, and haven’t crossed any lines, which I appreciate. I also thank you for providing me with a lot of clues. But really, it’s just gratitude, not even a tiny bit of the affection you think."

"So, I was being overly sentimental?" Feng Jiuzun smiled bitterly.

Ye Ningwan nodded, "Yes, you were being overly sentimental."

Feng Jiuzun gritted his teeth and said to Feng Huai, "Second Uncle, let’s go."

Feng Huai shook his head.

He was full of resentment towards his nephew, but seeing him rejected so thoroughly, he suddenly felt a bit sorry for him.

Forget it, he’s already so pathetic, better not scold him.

"Wait." Ye Ningwan called out to him again just as he was about to get into the car.

Feng Jiuzun turned around, both surprised and delighted, his eyes full of expectation.

Ye Ningwan coughed lightly and said, "Here’s the thing, next time you bring a girl home, don’t tell her things like ’I’ll protect you, won’t let anyone bully you.’ If my grandpa or the others say something unpleasant, don’t get upset; they’re old, so don’t hold it against them. Any girl who hears that won’t feel protected, only that you’re like a mama’s boy, struggling to be independent."

"Also, let me tell you, Old Mrs. Zhan wasn’t satisfied with me before, but Zhan Hanjue stood by my side without hesitation. He took all the blame, never let me be scolded once, and I signed the divorce agreement voluntarily, having nothing to do with him. That’s the difference between a man and a boy, and it’s also the difference between you two."

"Get in the car, silly boy, your self-esteem crushed on the ground." Feng Huai gave Feng Jiuzun a slap to get him into the car.

Feng Jiuzun, with a sullen face, got in, and the car quickly left.

Zhan Hanjue held Ye Ningwan’s hand.

Ye Ningwan smiled, linking her fingers with his, and said, "These past few days must have been nerve-wracking for you, but now, I’ve avenged you."

"Avenged me?"

"Yes, just then, his mood must have gone through highs and lows; isn’t that revenge for you?" Ye Ningwan said proudly.

Zhan Hanjue finally understood what she meant and smirked, ignoring the crowd.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her eloquent, love-hate mouth.

After their brief separation, Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan did not go home immediately but chose to stay in a hotel for a night.

The next day, they returned home to see Old Mrs. Zhan together.

Old Mrs. Zhan wasn’t aware of their matters, and she was delighted to see them return.

The three of them sat down to chat, and suddenly Old Mrs. Zhan said, "Hanjue, take some time to visit your aunt’s house. Things are a bit messy there right now, so it would be good for you to go."

"What’s going on with the Leng Family?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

"What else? It’s about Ziqing. Ziqing’s been causing a lot of trouble at home and refuses to intern at the Leng Group. It even got to my attention a few days ago," Old Mrs. Zhan sighed.

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, "I’ve said before, our Zhan Family and the Leng Family are no longer related. How dare they disturb you? I’ll instruct Housekeeper Wu to turn away anyone from the Leng Family."

Old Mrs. Zhan said, "Hanjue, you can’t speak like that. No matter what, she’s your aunt and had a great relationship with your father. If you treat her like this, your father’s spirit in the afterlife would be very sad. Besides, the Zhan Family is her maiden home; when problems arise, naturally, she seeks protection from her family. That’s human nature. You are her nephew; how can you hold a grudge? Find some time to go over and take a look."

"Grandma, we’ll go tomorrow," Ye Ningwan said.

Old Mrs. Zhan rejoiced, "Ningwan is so sensible; Hanjue, see how Ningwan is more sensible than you."

Zhan Hanjue smiled and said, "Yes, she’s always been more sensible than me."

At this moment, Zhan Hanjue’s phone rang; it was Chen Tan calling.

Zhan Hanjue finished the call and stood up, saying to Old Mrs. Zhan, "Grandma, there’s something at the company, I have to go."

Then he looked at Ye Ningwan, "Let’s go back first."

Old Mrs. Zhan said, "You have company matters, just go, why take Ningwan? She hasn’t been home in so long, and I haven’t seen her for ages. Let her accompany me for a chat, you go first!"

Ye Ningwan said, "You go ahead with your work, I’ll stay and chat with Grandma."

Zhan Hanjue hesitated slightly.

Old Mrs. Zhan snapped, "What, are you afraid I’ll bully her?"

Ye Ningwan said, "Go quickly! I’m fine chatting with Grandma."

Having no other choice, Zhan Hanjue left.

Once Zhan Hanjue left, Old Mrs. Zhan lowered her voice and said to Ye Ningwan, "Ningwan, I have something to tell you, I need your advice."

Ye Ningwan nodded.

Seeing Old Mrs. Zhan being so mysterious, she started to get nervous too.

Could it be that she wanted her to separate from Zhan Hanjue again?

Thankfully, Old Mrs. Zhan soon said, "Hanjue’s birth mother, that woman has returned."

Ye Ningwan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

This matter, she and Zhan Hanjue had known about for a while.

She thought it was something else major.

Fortunately, it wasn’t.

However, Ye Ningwan didn’t dare to show she already knew about this.

She quickly put on a surprised expression, "Oh, she’s back? When did she return? What for?"

Upon asking this, Old Mrs. Zhan became indignant.

"I heard she’s back to treat her younger son. Hmph, she cares for her younger son but completely forgets she has an elder son."
