CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 360: TAKING THEM DOWN ONE BY ONE

So, Wen Nan happily agreed, and walked to the garden with Zhuang Yichen.

At the edge of the garden, the handyman Uncle Wang, who mysteriously disappeared for two days, suddenly appeared on the lawn, squatting there connecting hoses, ready to water the lawn.

From a distance, seeing Wen Nan and Zhuang Yichen approaching, Uncle Wang stood up, showing Wen Nan that lewd smile again, his tongue sticking out, licking the corner of his lips.

The next moment, Uncle Wang glimpsed somewhere in the villa, frightening his smile rigid, shrinking his neck, he honestly picked up the hose, began to work diligently, not daring to glance in Wen Nan’s direction.

Wen Nan followed his gaze, turned her head, and saw Yu Shujun standing cold-faced by the guest room window, staring at Uncle Wang like a hawk zeroing in on a rabbit, seemingly ready to swoop down and catch him at any moment.

Zhuang Yichen was oblivious to the confrontation between the two, leading Wen Nan to the table, making a call to Alex while asking Wen Nan what she wanted to eat.

Wen Nan said casually, she should just order according to Zhuang Yichen’s preferences.

Before the words landed, Uncle Wang suddenly threw down the hose and rushed off into the distance, followed immediately by a golden light falling from an upstairs window, pursuing Uncle Wang.

Zhuang Yichen, hearing the commotion, instinctively looked towards Uncle Wang’s direction, just about to turn his head when Wen Nan called out, "Chenchen."

Zhuang Yichen immediately looked back at Wen Nan, "Yes? What’s up, honey?"

"Is there Basque cake? Suddenly feeling peckish for it," Wen Nan said offhandedly.

Zhuang Yichen laughed, casually asked Alex a question, then nodded to Wen Nan, "Yes, Alex is preparing it, he’ll bring it over as soon as it’s ready. Meimei, bring over the milk tea first."

Meimei brought over a tray with the prepared milk and tea, serving the two of them.

Zhuang Yichen picked up the teacup but didn’t drink, kept glancing toward the back door.

Wen Nan followed his gaze toward the door, "What’s up? Someone coming?"

Zhuang Yichen finally retracted his gaze, sipping his tea, then with a smile, brought the teacup to Wen Nan’s lips, "Mm~ The milk tea tastes really good this time, this batch of tea leaves was just airlifted from Sri Lanka, truly tastes a lot better, honey~ Try it~"

Such a clumsy way to divert the topic made Wen Nan unable to resist looking at him with some scrutiny.

Sure enough, halfway through their milk tea, Aunt Zhang came jogging from the back door, "Miss, the two gentlemen have arrived!"

Being referred to as gentlemen by the maid here could only mean her previously mentioned two brothers.

Why would they suddenly appear here?

Just as she was pondering, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in a suit with a slicked-back hairstyle, and another younger man in casual sportswear, walking over one after another.

"Big brother, second brother." Zhuang Yichen smiled, rising from her chair, greeting them while circling around to Wen Nan, wrapping around his arm, "This is my husband~ Ye Jiu~"

The two men simultaneously turned to Wen Nan, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Zhuang Family’s second young master spoke first: "So, you’re the Ye Jiu who tricked my sister into a flash marriage certificate? Tsk tsk tsk, with such a handsome face, it’s no wonder you could trick her so much."

"Second brother!" Zhuang Yichen glared at him angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting! I forced him to get the certificate with me, you can’t slander him like this!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Young Master Zhuang snorted coldly, "What’s this, just got the certificate and already standing against us? It’s only because we pampered you since childhood that you knew him just briefly, yet you’re siding with him, opposing us?"

Zhuang Yichen’s face turned sour, "I asked you over not to argue about this, if you’re going to continue, then leave now, you’re not welcome here."

Upon hearing this, Second Young Master Zhuang raised his hand, pointing at her, raising his voice a little, "You ungrateful child——"

"——Enough! What’s the arguing!" Standing behind them, Young Master Zhuang finally spoke, reprimanding both men at once, "All Zhuang family children, bickering like shrews in front of outsiders, isn’t it shameful?"

At this moment, Wen Nan, the "outsider," was unconcerned, raising an eyebrow slightly, wearing an impassive smile, watching the three of them as if enjoying the show——

How did these purposely difficult family members suddenly pop up?

And in such stereotypical antagonist cannon fodder fashion?

Even the dialogue had a strong flavor of cliché melodrama.

Has this script suddenly shifted toward some family ethics drama theme?

No, the style of you two doesn’t match this slightly colorful sickly romance instance now at all.

Doesn’t it feel abrupt?

The two brothers clearly didn’t find themselves abrupt, they approached Wen Nan, standing one on either side, then said: "Mr. Ye Jiu, should we have a private talk?"

Is it coming?

Taking Wen Nan aside to talk privately, then slapping a bank card in Wen Nan’s face, leaving behind a sentence like "Two million, leave my sister," that classic melodrama trope?

Just as he thought of this, Zhuang Yichen pulled Wen Nan’s arm, extracting him from between the two, "If there’s anything, talk here."

Second Young Master Zhuang raised his hand, grabbing Wen Nan’s other arm, pulling him back, "Matters between men, Chenchen don’t interfere."

With that, the two began a silent power struggle with Wen Nan as the medium.

Zhuang Yichen’s character from Sixteen Stars’ power, Wen Nan had experienced, but he didn’t expect that this "antagonist brother" who suddenly appeared midway would have strength on par with him.

Sandwiched between them, Wen Nan fully experienced the pain of Li Si and Wang Anshi.

Just as he was about to reach his physical limits, a golden light flashed, followed by Second Young Master Zhuang exclaiming, retracting his hand, clutching his chest, his face pale with pain, cold sweat breaking out.

Wen Nan instinctively followed the direction of that golden light, looking for Yu Shujun, the next moment, receiving a message in his mind——

{slave: It was careless of me, a tiger leaves a mountain, those Zhuang brothers, they’re from Carl Milak, I’m going all out, retreat a bit, don’t get hurt accidentally}

{slave: Master}

Upon receiving the message, Wen Nan immediately ran away from the Zhuang brothers’ side as quickly as possible, like Elder Tang who had just uncovered the Six-character Mantra on Five-finger Mountain.

Zhuang Yichen looked at him bewildered, calling out "husband."

On the other side, the two Zhuang brothers exchanged a "exposed, retreat!" look, seeing the golden light approaching, immediately they both fled the scene as quickly as possible.

Zhuang Yichen retracted her gaze from Wen Nan, turned back to find her two brothers had also vanished suddenly, her face more baffled, "Why did they leave without a word?"

Receiving the message that Yu Shujun had successfully transferred the battle, Wen Nan came out from his cover, walking slowly in front of Zhuang Yichen, sternly saying: "Chenchen, we need to talk."

Zhuang Yichen seldom saw him so serious, an ominous feeling brewing in her heart, yet she still tried to squeeze out a smile, saying:

"What’s wrong, honey? Is it about my two brothers, did they make you mad? I’m sorry, I let them come here to meet you without asking, it’s my fault, it’s because my parents knew about your situation, so they sent them to test the waters, I..."

Not waiting for him to finish, Wen Nan seriously looked into his eyes, shaking his head, speaking one word at a time:

"Let’s divorce, Chenchen."

Zhuang Yichen stared blankly at Wen Nan, blood draining from her face.

In an instant, the entire garden was shrouded in an overwhelming chill.
