"Then I don't think there's anything else I can offer." Gu Feng lowered his head.

"Brother Gu Feng, you dared to scheme against Cen Shichuan's family, you must know something else, right? Are you still hiding it now?" Xu Wantang asked.

Gu Feng pursed his lips, glanced at Cen Yuan, and then at Xu Wantang.

He felt that Xu Wantang was different from before, and even Cen Yuan carried an emotion he had never seen before.

But the two of them were closer than he had imagined.

If we really want to deal with Cen Shichuan's family, Cen Yuan is indeed the last resort.

"I've known about Lin Manzhi and Lin Zhuozhong's relationship for a long time, and Sister Wantang probably knows as well. When I was following Lin Manzhi, I found that Xu Chuxue was also with her and saw the two of them having a secret rendezvous. Also, my mother sometimes talks about something. She says she knows why the old man cares so much about Cen Shichuan, but when I ask her why, she doesn't want to say."

"It seems that Xu Chuxue has been able to remain anonymous all this time thanks to Lin Zhuozhong's help. She used Lin Zhuozhong's affair with the third wife to blackmail him," Xu Wantang analyzed.

"You know about this too? But what do you mean by 'living in anonymity'?"

"That Xina now is Xu Chuxue. It was a setup orchestrated by Cen Shichuan. Do you really think he'll treat me well if he marries me?" Xu Wantang retorted.

"I...I'm sorry."

Gu Feng's face was grim; he was genuinely regretting it.

Xu Wantang turned and walked up to Cen Yuan: "Second Brother, now that things have gotten out of hand, why don't we... make things even bigger?"

Cen Yuan tapped the table lightly with his hand, paused after a few seconds of brief thought.

"Do you want to make Hina and Cen Shichuan's relationship public?"

"Well, not only that, there's also the relationship between Cen Shichuan's father and his foreign lover. I just don't know why the two of them have been together for so long without having any illegitimate children."

It is indeed strange.

The Cen family forbids divorce and illegitimate children.

It sounds like a strict family tradition, but what era are we living in? If a man really cheats and has an illegitimate child, there are plenty of ways to deal with it.

Not to mention men who are rich and powerful.

However, it seems that none of the men in the Cen family have ever had an illegitimate child.

The moment the topic of illegitimate children came up, the room fell silent.

Xu Wantang snapped out of her daze and looked at Cen Yuan, whose brows were filled with gloom.

"What's wrong? Do you... have an illegitimate child?"

"No, I was thinking your method was good. There are so many people this time, why not just take them all out at once? But Cen Shichuan is watching me, and if I make a move, the old man will know," Cen Yuan explained.

"I can't do anything either, Cen Shichuan is keeping too close an eye on me."

Xu Wantang turned to look at Gu Feng.

Gu Feng sighed: "Wantang, I'm sorry for what I did to you in the past. I'll help you with anything you need now, and I can also cover for you two. But you two are really taking too much risks."

After several exchanges...

Gu Feng knew that his relationship with Xu Wantang was completely over, but he felt indebted to Xu Wantang.

What is owed must still be repaid.

Cen Yuan narrowed his eyes: "I don't need you to cover for me."

Gu Feng pointed outside: "Then go outside and say you stole your brother's wife."

"..."

Both of them had a storm raging in their eyes.

Xu Wantang quickly smoothed things over, saying, "I'm hungry, let's eat something first."

Gu Feng wiped his mouth: "No, I'm afraid he'll eat me alive. I have to go take care of something."

"Well... alright, I won't keep you any longer."

The man standing next to him looked resentful.

Xu Wantang could only wave goodbye.

Cen Yuan silently served her food.

Xu Wantang also put some food on his plate, saying, "Second Brother, don't be angry."

Cen Yuan remained silent, looking sullen.

Seeing that it was just the two of them in the private room, Xu Wantang moved her chair and sat down next to Cen Yuan.

"Honey, I want to eat shrimp. Can you peel some for me?"

"..."

Cen Yuan's hands were red from gripping the chopsticks, and his eyes were filled with fervor as he stared at Xu Wantang: "What did you call me?"

"Honey, didn't we get our marriage certificate? I see other people calling each other that."

As soon as Xu Wantang finished speaking, he pulled her and her chair over.

Cen Yuan lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Shout it again."

"husband."

Xu Wantang looked up and kissed him.

Cen Yuan didn't speak, his eyes were still rolling, but the back of his ears was a little red.

It's true that I've been staying in the mountains for too long. The cold and aloof atmosphere makes me feel a little embarrassed.

When Xu Wantang lowered her head, Cen Yuan had already peeled half a bowl of shrimp for her.

She took a bite: "It's delicious."

She stuffed another shrimp into Cen Yuan's mouth: "Second Brother, Cen Shichuan is extremely cautious. Even if I wanted to expose him and Xi Na, I still lack direct evidence."

The situation has been stirred up, but Cen Shichuan is cunning. If he brings up the events of the engagement banquet again, everyone will probably turn their guns on Xu Wantang again.

Cen Yuan peeled a shrimp and said slowly, "Cen Shichuan is hard to catch, but aren't your sister's family easy to catch? They tricked you into going back before because they were afraid Cen Shichuan would change his mind and wanted to quickly bring Xina and Cen Shichuan together, right? If the Xu family's business runs into big trouble, do you think they'll still let Cen Shichuan go?"

"Although the Xu family isn't particularly capable, they are very shrewd and calculating. It's unlikely that they'll cause any major problems in a short time," Xu Wantang pondered.

"The wires were laid a long time ago, and your brother is already impatient." Cen Yuan picked up a towel to wipe his hands.

"When did you do that?"

"The time you went back to the Cen family."

"You...you didn't do this for me, did you?" Xu Wantang said narcissistically.

"Otherwise what? I'm afraid you'll be fooled by your brother's words again."

"Fine, fine, my husband is still the best. I don't believe them anymore."

Xu Wantang opened her mouth to eat shrimp.

Outside the door, Lin Yue shivered.

Those two are disgusting.

He turned and called his subordinate: "Xu Shengze, it's time to close the net. Be quick."

"Okay. But according to those who were keeping an eye on her, Xu Chuxue seems to have been to the hospital recently."

"A hospital? That's interesting, that would be even better."

"Yes."

That is, the time it takes Xu Wantang to have a meal.

A major incident has occurred at the Xu family company, and Xu Shengze is extremely anxious.

As soon as Xu's father entered the door, he slapped him across the face: "How can you do such a thing?"

Xu Shengze, his face filled with shame and indignation, said, "Dad, didn't you say this project was profitable and we should invest more?"

"I never said that! It's you who has no ability at all. After all these years, you're still just following behind the Third Young Master and getting scraps."

Xu's father was an egoist who also valued his reputation highly.

Even if the other party is your own son, you can't let him lose face.

"If you don't believe me, ask Chuxue."

Xu Shengze pointed to Xu Chuxue sitting on the sofa.

Xu Chuxue remained calm: "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't understand company matters."

Xu Shengze was stunned.

If it were Xu Wantang, regardless of whether she heard it or not, she would definitely stand up and defend her brother immediately.

Thinking about it carefully, over the years, Xu Chuxue seems to have always avoided everything by not knowing how to do so.

Then, afterward, I comforted him with a few words.

He felt that his younger sister was very gentle and considerate.

But he forgot who was blocking his way.

Xu Chuxue noticed Xu Shengze's gaze and, thinking that she would need him in the future, quickly got up.

"Brother, I can't remember a lot of things lately, it might be... I'm pregnant."

"You, you're pregnant?" Xu Shengze exclaimed in surprise.

"It's Shi Chuan's. The pregnancy test result is quite light, but I think it's almost certainly true."
