Chapter 411
Thinking of this, Xu Heming stealthily touched his own face.He thought to himself that he must not have been resting well lately.
Otherwise, why would Li Zhiwei's attention be entirely focused on that bastard, Wen Zhaonan?
When Li Zhiwei and her group arrived at the Qingyu Pavilion, the waiter hurriedly went up to welcome them. After all, the boss had personally given instructions to attend to them.
At this moment, Cheng Qingli, dressed in men's clothing, was sitting with Xia Wenshuang, smiling and chatting about something.
"Fourth Young Master, your guests have arrived," a servant called out from outside the door.
"Miss Xia, please sit for a moment. I have some matters to attend to," Cheng Qingli said as she stepped out of the private room.
However, as soon as she exited, she was dumbfounded to see Zhang Yanchu being dangled by the collar by Wen Zhaonan. What was wrong with this guy?
"What happened to him?" Cheng Qingli asked in confusion, looking at the unconscious Zhang Yanchu.
"Does your heart ache for him?" Wen Zhaonan's face was as dark as a thundercloud.
This man had just been shouting his sister's name so loudly, and Cheng Qingli actually wanted to speak up for him?
She was his fiancée, after all!
"Who feels sorry for him? The problem is, with him like this, what am I supposed to do for my next step?" Cheng Qingli glanced into the room in frustration, suddenly feeling a bit anxious.
"Young Master Zhang?" A sweet, delicate female voice drifted from inside the room.
"Who is in there?" Wen Zhaonan looked at Cheng Qingli and demanded in displeasure.
Wen Zhaonan realized that Cheng Qingli had just emerged from the room, and there was someone else inside.
Especially hearing that girl's voice.
Wen Zhaonan glared at Cheng Qingli with dissatisfaction and asked, "Cheng Qingli, do you know that you are already engaged to me?"
"Brother, you've misunderstood Sister-in-law." Hearing her brother's words becoming increasingly out of line, Wen Xiu quickly stepped in to explain.
"Oh, there's no time to explain so much. Hurry up and throw him in." Although Cheng Qingli was baffled by Wen Zhaonan's scolding, thinking of Xia Wenshuang's current state inside, she directly ordered Wen Zhaonan to toss Zhang Yanchu into the room.
Wen Zhaonan's face darkened further.
Why should he listen to her?
"You go do it!" Li Zhiwei said to Xu Heming, who was standing to the side.
Xu Heming was completely confused.
The young couple was having a petty squabble; why should he get involved?
"Hurry up," Li Zhiwei urged with a light scolding tone. Although Xu Heming didn't quite understand, he quickly took Zhang Yanchu from Wen Zhaonan's hands and tossed him into the private room.
As Xu Heming threw the man in, he caught a glimpse of the person inside the room.
Startled, he quickly slammed the door shut.
He grabbed Li Zhiwei and ran.
Cheng Qingli also hurriedly pushed the Wen siblings outward.
"Cheng Qingli, just who exactly are you hiding in there?" Wen Zhaonan frowned, feeling that this whole situation was rather bizarre.
"General Wen, it's better if you don't know," Xu Heming said with a light cough.
"Will this work?" Li Zhiwei quickly pulled Cheng Qingli over and asked nervously.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely foolproof. Let's just wait and enjoy a good show," Cheng Qingli said with a smug look on her face.
"Sister-in-law, thank you," Wen Xiu said, breathing a sigh of relief in her heart.
Presumably, from now on, that Zhang Yanchu would never come to bother her again.
"What on earth are you all doing? And Cheng Qingli, what do you look like dressed like this?" Wen Zhaonan asked in displeasure.
Although Xu Heming was also a bit puzzled, he had clearly seen Xia Wenshuang just now.
Combining this with the fact that he had seen Zhang Yanchu sneaking around outside the Wen family residence several times while he was outside the Li residence, he roughly had a guess in his mind.
"Second Miss Cheng, you'd better hurry and change your clothes, lest that person comes out looking for you in a moment," Xu Heming thought for a moment and said.
"Oh my, I'll go right now." After saying this, Cheng Qingli hurriedly ran back into the Qingyu Pavilion.
"What exactly are you guys doing?" Wen Zhaonan felt that everyone seemed to know what was going on except for him, and this feeling made him extremely unhappy.
"It's nothing bad," Xu Heming said, patting Wen Zhaonan on the shoulder.
"Dear guests, my boss has asked me to lead you inside," a servant came out trembling and said to the group.
Li Zhiwei and Wen Xiu quickly followed.
Seeing Li Zhiwei leave, Xu Heming also followed.
With a mind full of questions, Wen Zhaonan could only follow with a dark expression.
However, the group sat down not far from Xia Wenshuang's private room.
"Wen Xiu, shouldn't you give your older brother a proper explanation?" Wen Zhaonan asked coldly, looking at his sister.
"Brother, that man is named Zhang Yanchu. He was the second runner-up in the imperial examination a few years ago. He lives next door to Sister Li. Lately, he has been constantly trying to corner me, so Sister-in-law came up with a plan," Wen Xiu explained carefully, seeing that her brother seemed a bit angry and fearing he would misunderstand Cheng Qingli.
"Why is he trying to corner you?" Wen Zhaonan had a straightforward temperament and asked whatever came to mind.
"He wants to become your brother-in-law to ride on your coattails and achieve a meteoric rise in his career," Xu Heming said bluntly after taking a sip of water.
"Is that what he means?" Wen Zhaonan frowned and asked Wen Xiu beside him.
"Brother, I don't like him, and I've barely spoken a few words to him. Moreover, his sister has come to our door time and time again seeking handouts. I would never marry into a family like that," Wen Xiu said with a hint of dissatisfaction, seeing her brother's angry face.
She felt a bit stifled, wondering if her brother was actually thinking of making her marry Zhang Yanchu.
"I didn't mean that I want you to marry him. Why didn't you tell me about this?" Hearing this, Wen Zhaonan's tone softened. He was indeed at fault in this matter; he shouldn't have lost his temper at his sister without understanding the situation first.
But what did this have to do with Cheng Qingli wearing men's clothing?
"What was Cheng Qingli doing just now?" Thinking of this, Wen Zhaonan asked directly.
"I was playing matchmaker for him." Cheng Qingli, who had just changed back into women's clothes and entered the room, heard Wen Zhaonan's question and answered without hesitation.
However, she was still a bit unhappy about Wen Zhaonan's behavior just now.
Why couldn't Brother Zhaonan trust her?
Or did he think she would harm Sister Wen Xiu?
"Those two are actually a perfect match!" Xu Heming thought of Xia Wenshuang in the room just now, and a mocking smile curled the corners of his lips.
"Who is the woman in that room?" Wen Zhaonan frowned, looking at the people in their room and asking.
"The lady from the Marquis of Huaiyang's estate," Xu Heming said with a smile.
"Heh! That's letting him off easy." Wen Zhaonan naturally knew of Xia Wenshuang. She was a completely shameless girl who even copied men by keeping male companions.
What disgusted him the most was that the Marquis of Huaiyang had even suggested he marry Xia Wenshuang!
He wasn't one to pick up trash.
"Whose idea was this?" Wen Zhaonan looked at Wen Xiu, then at Cheng Qingli, and asked.
As for why he didn't suspect Li Zhiwei, he didn't think the Li family, having just arrived in the capital, would know about the Xia family's affairs.
"Alright, this was my idea," Cheng Qingli said without a second thought upon seeing Wen Zhaonan's gaze.
She still felt a bit down in her heart, wondering if Brother Zhaonan would despise her because of this.
