CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 335: FORCING HER TO DEFECT FROM THE ZHAN FAMILY

Feng Jiuzun unwillingly took out his phone, and Ningwan snatched it away.

"You really are..." Feng Jiuzun gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about her.

Ningwan called Wu Taotao.

As soon as Wu Taotao connected, she hurriedly asked, "Is that Ningning?"

Ningwan said, "It’s me. How did you know I was going to call you?"

Wu Taotao started crying, sobbing, "I saw an unfamiliar number and wondered if it was you. I finally received your call. Do you know how worried I’ve been for you these days? I couldn’t get into the Zhan Family at all, and Ye Shao was so anxious he almost lost his mind. I couldn’t stop him; he rushed to the Zhan Family with a stick and got arrested when the Zhan Family called the police. If I hadn’t heard from you now, I would have been sick with worry."

"I’m sorry, Taotao. I made you worried. How is Ye Shao now?" Ningwan asked quickly.

Wu Taotao shook her head, "He’s fine. The Zhan Family called the police, and he was detained for two days. I’ll go pick him up later, and then everything will be okay. Though, he might end up with a record. But it’s fine; he’s your brother. It would be strange if he weren’t worried about you in this situation."

"Taotao, listen to me. Once you get Ye Shao, you both focus on your studies. You don’t need to worry about anything else," Ningwan instructed.

"Ningning, do you need me to do anything for you?" Wu Taotao asked.

Ningwan paused for a moment, then shook her head, "There’s nothing you need to do. Just keep an eye on Ye Shao and don’t let him act impulsively again. Tell him I’m fine and taking care of himself is the best help he can give me."

After finishing, Ningwan hung up the phone.

After hanging up with Wu Taotao, Ningwan immediately called Wu Wei.

Wu Wei was still in Tong City. Last time, he and Tingyu lost track of the mortgage, and he was probably helping Tingyu find someone.

Unexpectedly receiving a call from Ningwan, Wu Wei was also very tense.

"Hold on a second."

After talking to Ningwan, he seemed to have spoken to Tingyu on his side, then took the phone and left.

He probably found a place with no people before taking out the phone and continuing to talk to Ningwan.

"What’s going on with you? How did you get yourself into this situation?"

It seems there was no need to explain; he already knew about her current situation.

"Tell me what you know over there."

Since he knew, there was no need to waste words. Ningwan asked directly.

Wu Wei said, "All I know is that the Xie Family suddenly released news saying they want to bring you back. You are Xie Mingyu’s fiancée, and no matter what, he should rescue you."

"That bastard Xie Mingyu, he’s setting me up," Ningwan gritted her teeth in anger.

Wu Wei said, "Probably! Anyway, now everyone knows that Zhan Hanjue’s wife has something going on with the young master of the Xie Family; they even grew up together and have a pure childhood relationship. Because of this, Zhan Hanjue is missing. The Xie Family, seeing things exposed, is desperately trying to bring you back. Over this matter, the Xie Family’s reputation has been damaged. Old Sir Xie loves Xie Mingyu so much he even hit him out of anger."

"Did he really hit him?" Ningwan was shocked.

Old Sir Xie pampered Xie Mingyu so much, yet he couldn’t help but hit him, showing how excessive Xie Mingyu’s actions were this time.

"More like a light tap!" Wu Wei said.

Ningwan pursed her lips.

"What’s Xie Mingyu’s situation now? Does he really know Zhan Hanjue’s whereabouts?" Ningwan asked again.

Wu Wei said, "I don’t know about that. Tingyu and I have been outside looking for the mortgage and haven’t returned to the Xie Family. What I’m telling you is what I overheard from Tingyu’s contact with the Xie Family. I’ve told you everything I know. You’ll have to figure out how to get through this crisis yourself."

"Alright, I understand. Let me know if there’s any new information," Ningwan said.

"Okay."

Wu Wei finished speaking and hung up the phone.

"Do you want to call the Xie Family?" Feng Jiuzun asked again.

Ningwan looked at him, "Do you also think I should call the Xie Family?"

Feng Jiuzun smirked, "Seeing how concerned you are about Zhan Hanjue, if you don’t call to ask, I’m afraid you won’t be at ease."

"You’re right. I should call the Xie Family. However, I shouldn’t use this phone. Is there another phone available?" Ningwan said.

Feng Jiuzun had the bodyguard who came with them take out a phone for her.

Ningwan directly called Old Sir Xie’s number.

She certainly didn’t dare call Xie Mingyu. That willful guy, if he dared to do this, he’s clearly counting on getting away with it.

As expected, Old Sir Xie kept apologizing after answering the call.

He said that their Yu’er was being childish and asked her not to be upset, considering the long friendship between the families, and to forgive this time.

"Sir, I just want to ask you one thing," Ningwan said.

Old Sir Xie quickly said, "Ask whatever you need!"

"Is Zhan Hanjue at the Xie Family’s place?" Ningwan asked.

Old Sir Xie got anxious and quickly explained, "Do you also believe that rascal’s lie? How could Zhan Hanjue be at the Xie Family’s house? We have nothing to do with him. He had an incident in Philadelphia, which is a vast distance from Tong City. No matter how powerful we are, it’s impossible to secretly bring someone back from Philadelphia."

"Xie Mingyu..."

"You’ll have to ask the Zhan Family about that. Someone from the Zhan Family made a deal with him. You should understand that once the deal is done, your situation will be what it is. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to stay a day longer at the Zhan Family," Old Sir Xie reminded her.

Ningwan snickered.

Indeed.

With such rumors spreading between the two families, how could she still stay at the Zhan Family?

"The Zhan Family said they would send you over tomorrow," Old Sir Xie added, "If you are willing, the Xie Family can be your safe haven."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I won’t be going to the Xie Family. Also, tell Xie Mingyu, Mrs. Leng has no intention of letting me arrive at the Xie Family alive. They’ve already tried to send me on my way today. If it weren’t for friends saving me, he would soon hear about me committing suicide out of shame and guilt," Ningwan said, then hung up the phone.

Feng Jiuzun asked excitedly, "The friend you’re talking about, is that me? So, you actually see me as a friend."

"Of course. Not just a friend, but also a benefactor," Ningwan said.

"Then am I more reliable than that Xie Mingyu?" Feng Jiuzun asked again.

Ningwan nodded, "Yes, much more reliable than him."

"Then can I be your backup plan?" Feng Jiuzun asked again.

Ningwan looked at him seriously and said, "Feng Jiuzun, you’re great. You can be the leading man in someone else’s story. Why insist on being a backup in someone else’s story? I believe you’ll definitely meet your true love."

"Ningwan, you still don’t like me. But it’s okay; with Zhan Hanjue dead, I have all the time to make you accept me," Feng Jiuzun said proudly.

"I’m pregnant," Ningwan suddenly said.

"What?"

Feng Jiuzun opened his mouth wide in shock.
