CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 505: LAYING IT OUT DIRECTLY

Inside Nanfeng Mansion, Wang Jinhui had a collection of famous cars, and as his granddaughter, Tang Xiaowan naturally could drive any of them she wished, but she still got into her black SUV and called for Cheng Shi to join her as they left.

The purpose was singular, to expose themselves deliberately.

Sure enough, Li Zishen had Chen Xin follow them in another car and they arrived at HeiK Club.

The world of the wealthy is indeed different!

A membership card for exclusive use of guns required a top-up of 200,000, and Li Zishen didn’t even hesitate.

Then, to quickly enter the No. 2 private room where Tang Xiaowan was and without any disturbances, he even gave the waiter a considerable tip.

He thought Cheng Shi would intervene, but he didn’t; only Chen Xin was kept in the rest area.

"Brother Shen!"

Li Zishen nodded, "Stay here."

Immediately, the custom glass door was slowly opened, and Li Zishen, his phoenix eyes deep, walked in.

He missed her badly, almost insanely.

"Xiao Wan."

Tang Xiaowan didn’t respond. Her slender, fair fingers were skillfully checking the equipment at the moment.

She took off her coat, still in a long dress, but unlike her usual style, it wasn’t sweet and charming but rather seemed very practical and focused.

Li Zishen: "?"

So calm, did you know I would come?

"Xiao Wan, those rumors outside aren’t true." Li Zishen quickly walked up to her, his gaze intense as he looked at her, "I’ve had Bai Long check on it, the results will be out soon, trust me."

Of course, Tang Xiaowan knew that the rumors about the marriage alliance were false, because she was the one who had spread the news.

But Li Zishen didn’t know any of this.

A few hours ago, he had rushed to Huang City by helicopter, eager to prove his innocence and not wanting Tang Xiaowan to misunderstand him.

"Want to have a competition?" Tang Xiaowan raised her head and suddenly said, "Three shots each."

"Alright."

"Ladies first, I’ll go first."

During the conversation, Tang Xiaowan triggered the switch, her eyes clear as water becoming even more resolute as she slowly raised the handgun.

Bang—a shot straight to the bullseye.

Chen Xin: "My goodness!"

Since her marksmanship is so good, why did she act unsure last time, causing trouble for Brother Shen...

Ah, never mind, Brother Shen, you got this!

Cheng Shi saw Chen Xin peering through the glass, anxious but unable to enter, and found it amusing.

Li Zishen inside was equally shocked.

Knowing full well that Tang Xiaowan was already Leng Lingxiao’s wife, and that she loved Leng Lingxiao, he still had this irrepressible agitation to be near her.

"Xiao Wan, that was amazing!"

He couldn’t embrace her, but he could still clap.

"Ye Wanhua is Yi Xiaodan, I guess you’ve found out by now, but you might not be clear on exactly what she went through back then."

After speaking, another shot hit the bullseye.

"Xiao Wan, what are you trying to say?"

Not until Tang Xiaowan had fired her third bullet did she slowly put down the gun.

"What I want to say is, everything that happened to Yi Xiaodan is thanks to your dear mother Yuan Min. Your mother is truly impressive; in just a few months, she had replaced her and became the esteemed Madam Lai."

After she said this, Tang Xiaowan’s eyes were red, but a smile hung at the corner of her mouth.

Her smile made Li Zishen shamed to his very core.

Even without evidence, he had guessed that the incident 26 years ago had something to do with his mother.

"Xiao Wan, about recent suspicions... I did suspect that Ye Wanhua was Yi Xiaodan, and also doubted... But could there be some misunderstanding in all this?"

"Hmph, misunderstanding! It won’t hurt to tell you, the things Yuan Min did back then, I will return them to her one by one. Let her dare to show up at the wedding."

Li Zishen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the words.

During the wedding? The wedding!

"Xiao Wan, I know that something my mom did in the past might have been wrong, but Xiao Wan, this has nothing to do with you; it’s their older generation’s issue. Yi Xiaodan, no, Ye Wanhua, she’s not related to you, she is her, and you are you, you can’t just because your grandmother married Wang Jinhui..."

"I am her daughter, the girl your mother harmed back then, your father’s fiancée, she is my mother, and I am the daughter of Yi Xiaodan. My mother changed her name and fled far to Country Y, all because of what your mother did; she must be punished, she must!"

Li Zishen was startled by her words.

Impossible! How could she be... Are you saying Wang Junchen is your biological father?"

"Yes, that’s correct, surprised, aren’t you?"

"How is that possible!" Li Zishen still looked shocked, in disbelief, "Xiao Wan, how did you find out? It shouldn’t be possible; when you were in Jin City, I specially had Bai Long..."

"Did a paternity test secretly between me and Wang Junchen? Suspected a blood relation between us?"

"I’m sorry, I wanted to tell you after it was confirmed, but later it turned out to be false, so that matter... I just never mentioned it again."

"It seems you suspected as well."

"Many things—Wang Junchen and Ye Wanhua, the coincidences with you—are too many. Could there have been a mistake in the testing on my side, or..."

"It’s your turn." Tang Xiaowan stepped aside and coldly pointed at the gun.

"Xiao Wan, if it really involves my mom, can you, considering our acquaintance, could you possibly..."

"You want to take your mother’s punishment?"

"Is it possible?"

Tang Xiaowan let out a cold laugh and glanced at the bullseye: "If you don’t want to compete, just leave."

"No, don’t go."

Having been trained as a successor since he was young, Li Zishen was naturally proficient in everything, including shooting.

He didn’t even need to prepare.

After three gunshots, unsurprisingly, they all hit the bullseye and were exactly in the same spot as the ones Tang Xiaowan had just fired. He had regained the face he lost last week at Yelanxiang.

Although he now knew that Tang Xiaowan had brought him here with a purpose, he still thanked her for giving him a chance to save face.

"Very precise, you win."

"Xiao Wan, last time at Yelanxiang..."

"No need to explain, I know, you wouldn’t risk going to Mei Garden to save me if you were afraid of death."

"Xiao Wan, are you really Ye Wanhua’s..."

"It’s getting late, goodbye."

Tang Xiaowan dropped these words and turned to leave, but was quickly stopped by Li Zishen.

"Can I attend the wedding?"

Once out this door, will we turn into enemies? Never to return?

Actually, what Li Zishen wanted to ask was this.

Tang Xiaowan wasn’t stupid. She naturally understood the implication behind his words. With a slight smirk, she retorted, "Didn’t Huahua already send you an invitation?"

The word "invitation" struck straight to the heart.

It seemed to answer the previous question, yet it also seemed like an evasion.

"Yes, there is an invitation."

"Can I go now?" Tang Xiaowan asked solemnly, her bright eyes looking towards the doorway, not a sliver of them on Li Zishen.

Clearly, she just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, unwilling to linger a moment longer with him.

Li Zishen nodded and didn’t stop her again.

He knew that Tang Xiaowan wasn’t the type to make allegations without evidence. If there was no proof, she wouldn’t speak rashly, but Yuan Min was still his mother, and even if she truly did something wrong, he couldn’t just ignore it.

Why tell me?

What is she going to do at the wedding?

He stood firm, just standing there until Tang Xiaowan’s resolute figure disappeared from view.
