CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: MADAM ZHAN IS THE JOB

Wei Hanzhang took Ye Ningwan to the Western restaurant next to the school.

As soon as they entered, he asked the waiter to arrange the best seat for them.

The waiter arranged a seat by the window for them.

Wei Hanzhang very considerately pulled out a chair for Ye Ningwan to sit down.

"Thank you!" Ye Ningwan expressed her gratitude.

"Miss Ye, what would you like to eat?" Wei Hanzhang quickly took out the menu for Ye Ningwan to see.

Ye Ningwan randomly ordered something to eat and drink, then said, "Chairman Wei, please order too! Today, I said I would treat."

"How could I let Miss Ye spend money, and also, you don’t have to call me Chairman Wei, just call me by my name, Hanzhang."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

She looked embarrassed.

The two of them shouldn’t be this familiar with each other yet!

Wei Hanzhang might have also realized it wasn’t appropriate, he smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "Or you could call me Senior Brother Wei, like Junior Sister Wu does. Calling me Chairman Wei is too formal."

"Senior Brother Wei." Ye Ningwan readily called him willingly.

Wei Hanzhang was overjoyed, his face flushed red.

"Actually, I have something I want to consult Senior Brother Wei about today," Ye Ningwan said directly.

Wei Hanzhang quickly said, "Whatever it is, Miss Ye, just say it. Is it about Junior Sister Wu joining the student council? Don’t worry, I’ve got this, if I decide it, she’ll definitely be able to stay in the student council."

"It’s not about the student council." Ye Ningwan said, "I want to know something about your aunt."

"My aunt? Miss Ke?" Wei Hanzhang was surprised.

Ye Ningwan nodded.

"Why is Miss Ye suddenly inquiring about my aunt? Is there something wrong?" Wei Hanzhang asked cautiously.

Ye Ningwan thought for a moment and came up with a reason to explain, "Senior Brother Wei, don’t be nervous. A distant uncle of mine knows Miss Ke, and he knows that Miss Ke is unmarried. He’s interested in pursuing her... However, he confessed but was rejected by Miss Ke. He couldn’t understand why she rejected him and has been very upset. I just happened to learn from Taotao that you’re Miss Ke’s nephew, so I wanted to ask you about it. If Miss Ke truly can’t accept my uncle, it’s better to let him give up quickly."

"You’d better advise your uncle to give up soon," Wei Hanzhang said, "My aunt is impossible to accept anyone, so liking her is futile, she won’t accept it."

"Why?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Wei Hanzhang’s face stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile, "No particular reason, my aunt just doesn’t like men."

"That can’t be right, I’ve heard that before, Miss Ke had been in a relationship. Moreover, she even had a child?"

"A child? How do you know?" Wei Hanzhang was shocked.

Ye Ningwan: "..."

She just said it casually, but she didn’t expect there really was a child.

"I just heard someone mention it before, could it be true?"

Wei Hanzhang’s face turned pale and looked very unnatural, "It’s all in the past, who hasn’t made mistakes when they were young. My aunt paid for her youthful mistakes, you should advise your uncle to give up! My aunt is not going to accept anyone again."

"It seems like there was a love that was deeply memorable, which is why Miss Ke can’t forget it after so many years," Ye Ningwan sighed.

But Wei Hanzhang immediately sneered at this, "What unforgettable love, it’s just a scam."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

"A scam? What does that mean?"

"It doesn’t mean anything." Wei Hanzhang quickly explained, "I was just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously. Miss Ye, since you’re best friends with Junior Sister Wu, you should be about the same age, right? Where are you studying? Do you live in Jiangcheng for a long time, or are you just visiting here?"

"I’m currently living in Jiangcheng, not studying anymore," Ye Ningwan replied with a smile.

Wei Hanzhang deliberately changed the topic, apparently not wanting to talk about Ke Yingying anymore.

But the information obtained is enough.

It seems that the reason why Ke Yingying has been manipulated by Fu Wenfang is that Ke Yingying once had a child before.

That child was probably born and taken away by Fu Wenfang.

Therefore, Ke Yingying is being manipulated by Fu Wenfang, living like a walking corpse.

"Not studying anymore? Then what kind of work does Miss Ye do?" Wei Hanzhang quickly asked.

Looking at Ye Ningwan, she doesn’t seem like a girl who doesn’t love studying.

She has such an elegant demeanor, being well-read and knowledgeable, clearly different from those who drop out of school early and enter society.

Could it be there’s some unspeakable reason why she couldn’t study?

Wei Hanzhang’s heart was filled with excitement, even considering giving her tutoring.

If they spend time together day and night, gradually developing feelings for each other, it would be quite a love story.

"I..."

"Her job is being the wife of the Zhan Group’s president."

Ye Ningwan was about to answer when Zhan Hanjue interrupted.

Zhan Hanjue entered with Wu, pulled out a chair next to Ye Ningwan, and sat down.

Wei Hanzhang: "..."

"Zhan Hanjue, Ye Ningwan’s husband." Zhan Hanjue introduced himself.

Upon hearing the name "Zhan Hanjue," Wei Hanzhang’s legs went weak, nearly collapsing.

Zhan Hanjue, is he the Zhan Hanjue he knows of?

The president of the Zhan Group, Jiangcheng’s richest Zhan family?

"Why are you here?" Ye Ningwan asked in surprise.

Zhan Hanjue coldly said, "Passing by, saw you were here, so I came over."

Ye Ningwan thought to herself, at a restaurant, what a coincidence you’re passing by.

"Finished talking?" Zhan Hanjue asked again.

Ye Ningwan nodded.

"If you’re done talking, let’s go." Zhan Hanjue took Ye Ningwan’s hand and stood up.

Wei Hanzhang was so scared his face turned pale, keeping his head down, not daring to speak.

Until Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan left, he didn’t dare look up.

Once in the car, Ye Ningwan excitedly said to Zhan Hanjue, "I now know what to do."

Zhan Hanjue glanced at her with a cold gaze, suddenly reached out and pulled her to his chest, "To gather information by having a meal with a man, are you planning to seduce him for revenge?"

"What, are you jealous?" Ye Ningwan stared into his eyes, smiling sweetly.

Zhan Hanjue’s eyes darkened, and he pushed her away, "Impossible."

Ye Ningwan quickly looked down at her wristband, which showed his heartbeat was a bit faster.

"Still saying you’re not jealous, why are you nervous then?" Ye Ningwan raised the wristband in front of Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue looked at the numbers on her wristband, indicating his increasing heartbeat, and his eyes sank.

Ye Ningwan became even more smug, "Don’t forget, this wristband was designed by your company. If there’s no error, it shows that your heartbeat is accelerating now. Why would your heartbeat accelerate? Are you moved by me, or nervous? Forget it, let me check your pulse to see if there’s something wrong with your heart."

With that, Ye Ningwan placed her fingers on his pulse to check it.

However, as soon as she touched it, her shoulder was suddenly pressed down by Zhan Hanjue’s hand, pinning her to the seat.

Ye Ningwan’s eyes widened in surprise, and before she could react, Zhan Hanjue covered her mouth.
