Wen Yan's lips twitched, "Quan Quan, are you sure you know how to manage mother-in-law relationships?"
Bai Quan didn't need to manage that; she should be thinking about how to adjust her marital relationship.
Bai Quan looked at her, "Yan Yan, you don't believe me?"
Wen Yan didn't want to argue with her, so she said, "I believe you, but how are things between you and Rong Beifeng now?"
Speaking of this, Bai Quan's expression changed slightly, "It's still the same as before."
"His attitude has improved a lot, though."
Actually, what she wanted was simple: a happy marriage.
Although she wasn't mentioning divorce now, she still felt stifled every day.
Wen Yan knew what Bai Quan meant and comforted her, "Quan Quan, this is Rong Beifeng's change. He can change for you, so isn't it easy for you to get him to be romantic?"
Bai Quan sighed, feeling that Wen Yan's words made sense.
Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.
Wen Yan, listening from the side, heard clearly. It should be her friend arriving.
As she was thinking, the door was opened the next moment.
When Wen Yan saw the woman who entered, she froze on the spot.
Yuan Jiaruo, so she was the one...
Yuan Jiaruo also froze for a moment when she saw Wen Yan.
Sister-in-law...
Bai Quan, not noticing Wen Yan's expression, stood up and walked to Yuan Jiaruo's side, introducing her, "Jiaruo, this is my best friend Wen Yan. She also studies design, and she's a designer! You two should have common topics."
As soon as Bai Quan finished speaking, Yuan Jiaruo looked at Wen Yan and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be Bai Quan's best friend."
At this moment, Yuan Jiaruo was completely stunned.
Sister-in-law...
If Wen Yan is Yuan Jiaruo's sister-in-law, then doesn't that mean...
Wen Yan stood up and walked in front of the two of them. She glanced at Yuan Jiaruo, "Jiaruo, you study design?"
Yuan Jiaruo nodded and said happily, "Sister-in-law, then I'll rely on your guidance from now on."
She really didn't know there was such a powerful person by her side.
Wen Yan nodded, "You can ask me if there's anything you don't understand."
"Okay, thank you, Sister-in-law," Yuan Jiaruo said with a smile.
Bai Quan looked at the two of them, then turned her gaze to Wen Yan, "Yan Yan, how do you know Jiaruo? Why does Jiaruo call you sister-in-law?"
She felt so confused!
Her brain was almost not enough to process it.
When Wen Yan heard this and saw Bai Quan's bewildered look, she explained it to her.
Bai Quan then realized, "So that's how it is."
Yuan Jiaruo's lips curved slightly, "Bai Quan, if you had told me earlier that your good friend was Sister-in-law, I probably would have become a designer too."
Listening to their conversation, Wen Yan asked, "Why did you two choose to meet here?"
"I wanted to go out for a meal together, but Bai Quan insisted on coming here," Yuan Jiaruo said.
Wen Yan glanced at Bai Quan, "Quan Quan, your alcohol tolerance is not suited for this place at all."
Bai Quan nodded.
She didn't want to repeat the embarrassing incident from last time.
When Yuan Jiaruo learned that Wen Yan was a designer, she immediately suggested, "It's still early, let's go get something to eat. My treat."
Bai Quan had no objections.
Wen Yan saw that it was getting a bit late and refused, "You two go ahead. Leng Xunze should be back soon, and I need to go back and cook."
Hearing this, Bai Quan said, "Yan Yan, you've become a good wife and mother in advance."
Yuan Jiaruo said with some envy, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xunze is so lucky to have married you."
Wen Yan smiled.
The three of them stood up and walked out of the room. As Wen Yan turned her head at the staircase, she suddenly saw Leng Baichuan walking out of a room.
Just as she was about to leave, Leng Baichuan spoke, "Wen Yan, you can't get into the Leng family at all. Even though you're legally married to Leng Xunze, my mother doesn't approve of you, so you can't enter the Leng family's door."
Wen Yan stopped and looked at Leng Baichuan, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Wen Yan, because of you, my mother is bedridden. How dare you come out to play with your disreputable friends."
"Are you meeting someone here behind Leng Xunze's back?"
When Wen Yan heard this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she said sarcastically, "Younger brother calling his sister-in-law by her first name, is this how the Leng family is educated?"
Leng Baichuan's expression immediately turned ugly.
Wen Yan continued, "You say I made Madam Leng sick, then I want to ask how you know? And you say I'm meeting someone, did you see it? You have a mouth but don't know how to speak."
"Wen Yan, you..." Leng Baichuan's face turned red with anger.
He had intended to anger Wen Yan, but he didn't expect to be retorted by this woman.
He hadn't seen this woman being so sharp-tongued before. Why today...
Bai Quan listened with great satisfaction. Yuan Jiaruo looked up at Leng Baichuan, "Leng Baichuan, are you referring to me when you say disreputable friends?"
Leng Baichuan's face darkened. Thinking of his objective, he said no more, "Wen Yan, don't think Leng Xunze can always protect you."
Wen Yan heard the hidden meaning in Leng Baichuan's words. Then she noticed that the box was no longer in his hand.
She tentatively asked, "Does younger brother mean you want to control Leng Corporation?"
"Wen Yan, you are very smart, but you've followed the wrong person." Leng Baichuan didn't directly answer.
Now that the plan had begun, they had to defeat the Song family in the shortest possible time. Once they had sufficient strength, Leng Xunze alone would not be able to hold Leng Corporation.
Moreover, he still held company shares.
Yuan Jiaruo said sarcastically, "Leng Baichuan, do you think what you're saying is possible?"
Leng Baichuan snorted coldly, "We'll see."
Saying that, he returned to the private room.
Wen Yan looked at the man's retreating back. Hadn't Leng Xunze come over?
However, the box was gone. Perhaps Leng Baichuan had played a trick and moved the box.
She had to tell Leng Xunze about all these things.
Yuan Jiaruo complained, "Sister-in-law, Leng Baichuan is just dreaming in broad daylight. He doesn't have the ability to manage a company at all."
Wen Yan smiled and changed the subject, "Let's go."
"Okay."
The three of them walked out of the hall. As she and Bai Quan were about to hail a taxi, Yuan Jiaruo called out to her, "Sister-in-law, you can ride in my car. I'll give you a ride back."
Wen Yan thought about it and didn't refuse. When she got home, she still hadn't seen Leng Xunze return.
While calling Leng Xunze, she entered the rental apartment, "Husband, you're not back yet?"
"Almost home," Leng Xunze replied.
Wen Yan nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Leng Xunze smiled, "We'll talk when you get home."
Wen Yan hummed and hung up the phone. She started preparing the dishes.
As soon as she had all the dishes on the table, she heard the sound of a car engine turning off. She raised her eyebrows and walked to the door.
Seeing Leng Xunze coming upstairs, she called out, "Husband, you're back."
Leng Xunze walked up to her and put his arm around her slender waist, "Yan Yan, it's cold outside, come inside quickly."
Wen Yan hummed, and the two of them walked into the house.
She told Leng Xunze about her entire conversation with Leng Baichuan at the club, "Husband, didn't you get the box back?"
