He smelled the aroma of food wafting through the air and complimented it.
Wen Yan sat down. "Try it first."
He sat opposite her and took a bite. He found her cooking as good as ever. Since they had parted ways, he hadn't had such a good appetite in a long time.
While eating, he suddenly saw an egg in his bowl. He looked up at Wen Yan's bowl and saw only noodles.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly. "You cooked this specifically for me?"
Wen Yan knew what he was referring to. Without hesitation, she replied, "For this deal, I definitely need you to eat well."
The Leng family was too far apart from the Wen family, and the Leng family was constantly in internal conflict. If they were not together, Leng Xunze would have no weaknesses.
This was extremely beneficial for him and for herself.
As soon as she said this, Leng Xunze's brows furrowed. He had thought she had cooked it specifically for him, only to realize it was for work.
He immediately lost his appetite.
Leng Xunze put down his chopsticks and stood up, looking at Wen Yan. He had always had a question he wanted to ask but never did.
He was afraid the answer wouldn't be what he wanted.
At this moment, he still wanted to take a gamble, so he asked, "Wen Yan, have you ever loved me?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan's expression became dazed, and her heart began to beat rapidly. She remained silent.
At this moment, the entire room was silent.
Seeing her silence, Leng Xunze continued, "Were all the things you said before just lies to me?"
Wen Yan suppressed the pain in her heart and looked up at the man. "Mr. Leng, we are already divorced. Does asking this question still make sense?"
If he were not the young master of the Leng family, she would have told him without hesitation that she loved him.
She loved the man who occasionally got jealous.
Leng Xunze's eyes turned sharp. "In your eyes, everything we've been through is not important, is it?"
Wen Yan took a deep breath. "Mr. Leng, I didn't expect my charm to be so great that a moment of genuine affection would make you think it was true love."
Her heart was breaking!
Leng Xunze's expression turned grim. "Wen Yan, you are the first woman to dare to lie to me!"
With that, the man turned and left.
It wasn't until the man had left the room and a slight cold breeze blew in that Wen Yan let down her facade, her heart aching.
As long as he had no weaknesses, what did it matter if she was considered a scumbag in his eyes?
Moreover, it was impossible for them to be together before, and it would be even more impossible in the future.
Leng Xunze quickly returned home. Looking through the car window at the lit room, he angrily drove away.
On the way, he thought of the woman's heart-wrenching words, and he gripped the steering wheel tighter, speeding up.
Just then, his phone rang.
Leng Xunze saw the caller ID and said coldly, "What is it?"
Zuo An heard that his president seemed to be in a bad mood and reported cautiously, "Mr. Leng, didn't you ask me to investigate Ms. Wen's whereabouts today? I found out."
When Leng Xunze heard Wen Yan's name, his anger flared up. He frowned and said impatiently, "What did you find out?"
Zuo An swallowed and reported, "Mr. Leng, this morning after Ms. Wen met with Ms. Bai, when they came out, Ms. Wen was almost killed. Ms. Bai shielded Ms. Wen during the crisis. In the afternoon, Ms. Wen was in the hospital."
Leng Xunze thought of the bloodstains on Wen Yan's clothes and coldly ordered, "Find the people and bring them here."
"Yes."
Zuo An, hearing this, knew that Mr. Leng was on the verge of a 폭발.
An hour later.
Leng Xunze sat on the sofa, his legs crossed, his entire being enveloped in a heavy aura of ferocity.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
He looked up. "Enter!"
The next moment, Zuo An walked in with two men. "Mr. Leng, it's these two."
Leng Xunze looked at the two men wearing masks, his gaze icy. "Tell me, who hired you to kill Wen Yan?"
The man's words made the two men tremble. One of them tried to play dumb. "I don't know what you're talking about. Let us go quickly. We don't know Wen Yan at all."
Leng Xunze ordered, "Zuo An, they're yours."
Zuo An nodded. "Drag them away!"
Two bodyguards walked over and dragged the man away. As soon as the door closed, piercing screams of mercy echoed from the hallway. "Ah—no… my hand…"
The man in the room shivered, his hands trembling, not daring to even lift his head.
A few minutes later, Zuo An dragged the man in like a dead dog. The man's face was covered in blood, and his left hand was broken.
He passed out from the pain.
Zuo An bowed his head and reported, "Mr. Leng, he has fainted."
Leng Xunze stood up, his face grim. "Then switch to the other one. Keep going until they are willing to talk."
Zuo An nodded and was about to order the bodyguards to drag the other man out when the man, his face pale with fear, blurted out, "Don't, I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Zuo An urged, "Then hurry up and say it!"
The man blurted out, "The eldest daughter of the Wang family gave us money and told us to teach Ms. Wen a lesson."
Leng Xunze heard this. "Break one of his legs and drag him out."
Zuo An nodded. Hearing that his leg was going to be broken, the man quickly begged for mercy. "Spare my life! Spare my life!"
Soon after, the man let out a pained scream.
Leng Xunze walked out of the room and said to Zuo An, "Let the eldest daughter of the Wang family learn her lesson too!"
With that, he walked straight out of the room.
Zuo An nodded.
The Wang family was truly courting death! Making him lose sleep late at night.
...
The next day.
Wen Yan arrived at the hospital and saw Rong Beifeng slumped on Bai Quan's bed. As she approached the bedside, Rong Beifeng was startled awake.
Wen Yan asked, "Has Bai Quan not woken up yet?"
Rong Beifeng grunted, "No."
She saw that Bai Quan's complexion was much better than yesterday, and the doctor said Bai Quan would wake up soon.
She looked at Rong Beifeng. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Go eat quickly. I'll watch here."
Rong Beifeng shook his head. "It's okay, I ate last night and I'm not hungry."
Wen Yan didn't say anything else. Then, she suddenly remembered something. "Bai Quan's parents don't know about Bai Quan's hospitalization, do they?"
Rong Beifeng replied in a low voice, "I haven't told them."
Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. If Bai Quan's parents found out about this, it would only make them worry more.
At noon.
Wen Yan suddenly received a call from Zhuo Feng. "What's wrong?"
Zhuo Feng's voice was a little anxious. "Ms. Wen, a woman specifically asked to see you and smashed a lot of things in the studio."
"What? I'll be right back." Wen Yan's face changed drastically.
She looked at Rong Beifeng. "I'm going back to handle something. I'll be back this afternoon."
Song Beifeng nodded. "Okay."
Wen Yan walked out of the ward, wondering who dared to cause trouble at her studio.
She hadn't offended anyone recently.
She couldn't figure it out. She then returned to the studio. As soon as she got out of the car, she heard a familiar female voice. "Let that little bitch Wen Yan come out! See if I don't beat her to death! My face!" m..oΓg
Wen Yan felt the woman's voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall it immediately.
