Did Madam Leng really know something?
As she was thinking, Leng Xunze, seeing her silence, asked, "What are you thinking about? So lost in thought?"
Wen Yan snapped back to reality, "Nothing."
Without any evidence, she didn't want to mislead Leng Xunze.
Hearing this, Leng Xunze didn't press further.
After the car had driven for some distance, it stopped at an intersection.
Wen Yan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the man with a handsome profile, "Husband, I want to use your connections to find someone."
"Who?" Leng Xunze asked indifferently.
She told him about the Wen family hiring a housekeeper before. Upon hearing this, Leng Xunze took out his phone and called Zuo An, "Go to the countryside and find someone. This person was previously the housekeeper for the Wen family."
"Yes."
When the man hung up, Wen Yan thanked him, "Thank you."
If she had to rely on herself, she didn't know when she would find that person.
She didn't want her mother to be misunderstood all the time. It was clearly Wen Shihao who had an affair, yet outsiders now thought it was her mother.
Leng Xunze smiled at her, "Yan Yan, it's too formal for us to say thank you. It would be more practical if you cooked me a meal."
"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? We can buy groceries on the way, and I'll cook it for you when we get back." Wen Yan felt this way of interacting was very good.
Husband and wife solve problems together, and the division of labor at home is clear.
Leng Xunze thought for a moment, "Grilled fish."
Wen Yan replied with a smile, "No problem."
The two first went to the market to buy the ingredients for grilled fish. After the meal, as Wen Yan was cleaning the kitchen, she suddenly received a text message.
She opened it and saw a message from Bai Quan, telling her that she would be going to the Yuan family tomorrow.
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow and replied, "Quan Quan, are you planning to go back the day after tomorrow?"
The other party didn't reply immediately. She finished her tasks and, while drying her hands, received a reply: "I'll go back the morning after tomorrow."
Wen Yan sent a message: "See you tomorrow morning."
She came out of the kitchen and saw Leng Xunze sitting on the sofa reading financial statements. "Husband, tomorrow is Jia Ruo's grandmother's birthday. Have you prepared a gift?"
Leng Xunze closed his laptop and looked at her, "I've already asked Zuo An to prepare it." He then added, "We should have news about that person soon."
Wen Yan didn't expect it to be so fast, "Thank you, this is too quick."
Leng Xunze smiled slightly; she was aware of Zuo An's capabilities.
The next morning.
When Wen Yan and Leng Xunze drove to the Yuan family, they saw countless luxury cars parked in the manor's open space.
Almost everyone from the elite circles in the capital was present, making it a grand occasion.
As they were about to reach the main hall, a female voice called out from beside her, "Sister-in-law, Xun Ze Ge, you've arrived."
Wen Yan turned her head and saw Yuan Jia Ruo, dressed in a high-end dress, walking towards them.
Yuan Jia Mao was also with Yuan Jia Ruo.
Wen Yan smiled and greeted, "We just arrived."
"Xun Ze, why didn't you call me when you arrived?" Yuan Jia Mao said with a smile.
Leng Xunze glanced at him, "I knew you were busy today and didn't want to disturb you."
Yuan Jia Mao walked up to them and warmly welcomed them, "Xun Ze, Miss Wen, please go in and sit. I'll find you later."
"Okay," Leng Xunze nodded.
Wen Yan saw Yuan Jia Ruo looking around expectantly and asked curiously, "Jia Ruo, what are you looking at?"
Yuan Jia Ruo said, "Bai Quan hasn't arrived yet."
Speaking of Bai Quan, Wen Yan took out her phone and called her, "Quan Quan, haven't you arrived yet?"
On the phone, Bai Quan apologized, "Yan Yan, tell Jia Ruo that I can't make it today. Rong Beifeng and I are on our way back."
Wen Yan heard a strange tone in Bai Quan's voice and quickly asked, "Quan Quan, is something wrong?"
"No, Rong Beifeng's mother is a bit difficult. I can't talk now. I'll tell you when I'm done."
Wen Yan said with concern, "Okay, call me if anything happens."
"Mm."
Seeing Wen Yan hang up, Yuan Jia Ruo asked, "What's wrong?"
She glanced at Yuan Jia Ruo and explained Bai Quan's situation. Upon hearing this, Yuan Jia Ruo sighed, "I originally wanted to show her around my house! Now look."
Wen Yan smiled, "She's in a hurry. Besides, if you want to show Bai Quan your house, there will be plenty of time in the future, right?"
Yuan Jia Ruo nodded at her words.
Leng Xunze, standing by, said at the right moment, "Yan Yan, let's go inside."
"Alright," Wen Yan nodded.
As the three walked into the main hall, Leng Xunze looked down at his phone, and his expression instantly darkened.
Wen Yan noticed his unusual expression and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Leng Xunze said, "Wife, I need to go back to the company. I'll come find you later. There's something I need to handle."
Wen Yan replied, "Okay, you go ahead. Call me when you get here."
Leng Xunze gave a low hum and turned to leave.
She watched his back disappear from her sight before turning to Yuan Jia Ruo, "Let's go."
Yuan Jia Ruo voiced her suspicion, "I just saw that Brother Xun Ze seemed off."
She had noticed it too.
However, since he didn't say anything, there must be a reason for his silence, and she wouldn't pry too much.
Wen Yan walked straight ahead, "Perhaps there's something very important to handle."
Yuan Jia Ruo hummed in agreement.
As the two walked further inside, an elderly woman descended from the second floor.
Upon seeing the old woman, Yuan Jia Ruo introduced her to Wen Yan, "Sister-in-law, this is my grandmother."
As she spoke, she called out to the second floor, "Grandma."
Wen Yan looked up at the second floor and saw an old woman in a tailcoat with graying temples, appearing to be in good health.
The old woman came downstairs and stood beside Wen Yan, smiling and praising, "Whose young lady is this? So beautiful."
Yuan Jia Ruo explained to her, "Grandma, this is my sister-in-law, Brother Xun Ze's wife."
The old woman understood instantly.
Wen Yan looked at the old woman and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Grandma. My name is Wen Yan."
"Wen Yan, a nice name. That boy from the Leng family is lucky," the old woman said, her eyes full of joy as she looked at Wen Yan.
That Leng boy already has a wife, but her grandson is still unmarried!
It was a worry just thinking about it.
Wen Yan blushed at the compliment.
Yuan Jia Ruo turned to look at her brother, who was still busy outside, then shifted her gaze to the old woman, "Grandma, where are Mom and the others?"
"They called me and said they are on their way. You too, you've finally returned to the country but haven't come back to see me."
Yuan Jia Ruo hugged the old woman's arm, "Grandma, I just missed you! Are you trying to send me away?"
The old woman smiled kindly, "How could I? Grandma would be delighted to have you stay with me."
Wen Yan felt that despite being from wealthy families, the Yuan family didn't seem to have too many schemes.
