Wen Yan remembered her mother's situation. "I want to go back and look for the butler that the Wen family drove away back then."
Her father had cheated back then and falsely accused her mother of having an affair with the butler.
Finding the butler would expose the true face of the woman her father had cheated with.
Bai Quan thought for a moment, "Yan Yan, I don't think it's easy to find him now, but I think Leng Xunze definitely has a way."
"Let him help you, it will be faster."
When Wen Yan heard this, she realized it was true! How could she have forgotten Leng Xunze.
With Leng Xunze's connections, it would be much faster than her own efforts.
Yuan Jiaruo chimed in from the side, "Sister-in-law, do you need my help?"
After spending a long time together, she felt that Wen Yan was much better than Song Na.
Not at all like a "green tea" girl.
Now, she genuinely liked Wen Yan from the bottom of her heart.
"No need. If you really want to help me, just let me know what your grandmother usually likes. That way, I'll be prepared." Wen Yan figured that for a birthday banquet like this, she probably wouldn't even need to buy a gift.
Yuan Jiaruo propped her head with her chopsticks. "My grandmother is generally not picky. She likes everything. Anyway, every year she says the bracelets I buy are particularly good."
Hearing this, Wen Yan didn't know what to buy for a moment.
The three of them chatted for a while longer. Just as they were about to finish their meal, Wen Yan hung up on Leng Xunze's call and looked at the other two. "This afternoon, Leng Xunze and I are going to the Leng family to visit Mrs. Leng. We'll be leaving first."
Bai Quan teased her, "Yan Yan, you're stepping into the role of a good wife and mother early."
Wen Yan smiled and replied, "Aren't you too? And you're talking about me."
As she spoke, she started to get up.
Then, she heard Yuan Jiaruo's reminder, "Sister-in-law, since you're going to the Leng family later, tell my Xunze brother to keep an eye on his stepfather."
Wen Yan's expression changed instantly. She looked at Yuan Jiaruo and asked, "What's wrong with my husband's stepfather?"
"I didn't hear too clearly. It seemed to be about some cooperation issue." Yuan Jiaruo told Wen Yan what she had overheard in her father's study.
Wen Yan understood. "Thank you, I'll tell my husband later."
She now felt that Ou Ziqing was becoming increasingly complicated.
Yuan Jiaruo nodded.
Bai Quan also stood up. "Yan Yan, is your man coming to pick you up?"
Wen Yan nodded. "He's probably coming soon. By the way, Quan Quan, why aren't you waiting until after Jiaruo's grandmother's birthday banquet to leave?"
Yuan Jiaruo heard this and also started to invite her. "Bai Quan, I think Sister-in-law is right. Who knows when we'll see each other again if you leave now! Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday banquet. Why don't you consider it?"
"I wasn't invited. Wouldn't I be kicked out if I went?" Bai Quan joked.
She primarily didn't want to attend such a banquet.
Rong Beifeng also wasn't invited, so he might as well go back now.
Yuan Jiaruo said resolutely, "Come to my house. I'd like to see who dares to kick out my friend. Bai Quan, if you decide to go, I'll go back and get you an invitation right now."
Just as Wen Yan was about to speak, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, a smile curved her lips, and she answered, "Honey."
"I'm outside the restaurant. Come out."
Wen Yan hummed and looked up at Bai Quan. "Quan Quan, think about it. If you come, the three of us can be together again tomorrow."
"My husband is here to pick me up. I'm leaving now."
Bai Quan smiled and saw her off. "Okay, if I go, I'll tell you tonight."
"Mm."
After bidding them farewell, she turned and left the private room.
As she walked out of the restaurant, she saw a black luxury car parked by the roadside.
When Wen Yan was nearing the car, Leng Xunze got out and walked over to her. "Wife, have you finished eating?"
Wen Yan nodded, looking at his tall figure. "You haven't eaten yet?"
Leng Xunze nodded. "I just finished dealing with some documents."
She thought for a moment. "How about I go back in now and pack you a special dish?"
If she had known he hadn't eaten, she would have packed something earlier.
Leng Xunze waved his hand. "Let's eat together tonight."
Wen Yan heard this and put on a stern face. "That won't do. Let's go back now and go to the Leng family after we eat."
How could she not eat?
He had to manage a lot of work every day. If he didn't replenish his nutrition, he would definitely get thin from hunger.
Leng Xunze saw Wen Yan's concern for him, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. "Then I want to eat your home-cooked meals."
Wen Yan smiled and nodded.
The two got into the car, bought some ingredients along the way, and returned to the villa.
As Wen Yan cooked in the kitchen, she saw Leng Xunze watching her. It made her a little embarrassed. "Honey, why are you standing there watching me? Why don't you go sit on the sofa? It'll be ready soon."
She could make these home-cooked dishes very quickly now.
"Wife, shouldn't we think about having a crystallization of our love?" Leng Xunze felt that life would be even more beautiful with a crystallization of their love.
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment and said with a blush, "Let's talk about it tonight when we get back."
"Okay."
She didn't object to Leng Xunze's suggestion, but Mrs. Leng hadn't agreed to their relationship yet.
So she wanted to consider this matter after some time.
A few minutes later.
When Wen Yan placed the last dish on the dining table, she looked at Leng Xunze. "Honey, please try it."
As she spoke, she used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for him.
Leng Xunze ate with great pleasure. "Wife, this fish is excellent."
"Then eat more."
After the meal.
Wen Yan cleared the dishes, and Leng Xunze helped her by putting the dishes into the sink. They had a clear division of labor.
An hour later.
The two headed to the Leng family mansion.
As Wen Yan followed Leng Xunze into the hall, she saw Mrs. Leng sitting on the sofa, her expression slightly eased.
There was a little more light in her eyes.
Leng Xue heard the commotion and saw the two of them. She then looked at Wen Yan without speaking.
Wen Yan took the initiative to speak. "Mrs. Leng, how are you feeling?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Bairui, who was coming down from the second floor, happened to see her and said irritably, "Why are you here again?"
Leng Xunze's face darkened. "She's your sister-in-law."
Leng Bairui pouted. She would never let Wen Yan be her sister-in-law!
Leng Xue saw that the atmosphere in the hall was tense and directly issued an eviction notice. "Are you here to anger me by bringing her?"
Wen Yan had anticipated this situation on the way.
Just as she was about to speak, Ou Ziqing's voice came from outside the door into the hall. "Xunze and Miss Wen are here, why aren't you coming in!"
Now he had prepared everything.
If he could get Mr. Yuan to agree to his cooperation, it would be more helpful for him to take over the Leng Corporation.
Mrs. Leng's health might still need a few days. He wanted to open that box within these few days to obtain the contents.
This way, the Leng Corporation would be his for the taking.
Wen Yan felt that Leng Xunze was a little off. She pondered for a moment and then held his hand. "Honey, I want to say something to Mrs. Leng. Let's go in."
