Lin Yue looked at Chen Jingjing and leaned down slightly.
"How does it feel to be threatened? The Second Young Master asked me to pass on a message. I'm sure Miss Chen will know what to do after today."
"..."
Chen Jingjing's face was a mixture of red and blue.
She never expected that the Buddhist monk could be so ruthless.
Before she could argue, Lin Yue waved his phone.
Chen Jingjing could only nod: "I understand."
Lin Yue put away his phone and put on his usual casual smile: "Miss Chen, this is fine with both of us. Grandpa, you can think of a reason to refuse yourself."
After saying that, he left the room.
Chen Jingjing was so angry that she broke her manicure.
The banquet had just begun when the two brothers messaged her, saying they wanted to see her when they returned to China.
It just so happens that she also misses the carefree and happy life abroad. If it weren't for the pressure from her family, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to get married.
I was thinking of catching up a bit, and then we'd cut off all contact.
Little did I know it was a trap.
Chen Jingjing finished dressing and picked up her phone, only to find it full of messages and calls from her good friends.
They are good friends, and I also attended the banquet tonight.
Before leaving the banquet, she specifically asked a friend to keep an eye on things.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll definitely keep a close eye on the second young master for you."
"Sister, you really missed a great show! That Xina looks remarkably like Xu Chuxue."
"They're all women. The moment I saw her face, I knew her relationship with the Third Young Master was definitely not ordinary. Unfortunately, looking alike is useless. Xu Wantang is the one who stole the show today."
"Didn't you say you'd be back before the ball started? Why haven't you come yet?"
"The second young master stayed in the rest area the whole time and didn't dance."
"Why haven't you arrived yet even though the banquet is over? Oh well, I'll send you some photos to post on WeChat Moments later."
Next are over fifty photos of the banquet.
Most of them were selfies, but Chen Jingjing quickly found a clue in the photos.
When Liao Zhen introduced Guan Shi, she also photographed Xu Wantang.
She lifted her skirt as she went on stage, revealing her calves and ankles.
There is a light-colored scar on my ankle.
After zooming in, Chen Jingjing examined it carefully and found that it was exactly the same as the ankle wound she had seen on the woman in the private room that day.
The only difference is the depth.
That woman was actually Xu Wantang!
Isn't she Cen Shichuan's wife?
No wonder Cen Yuan took the photos and then plotted against her.
It turned out to be the case.
Chen Jingjing stared at Xu Wantang in the photo, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred!
Now, only the second and third young masters of the Cen family have power, and they are both related to Xu Wantang!
Why should I?!
Just as she was feeling resentful, Chen Jingjing received another message from a friend.
"I forgot to send you the video. Isn't this content better than the TV series?"
It's a scene of Xu Wantang and Xi Na confronting each other.
Chen Jingjing looked at Xina's jealous eyes and suddenly smiled.
She will definitely not let Xu Wantang get away with this!
……
The Cen family.
To avoid suspicion, Xu Wantang took a taxi back to the Cen family home midway through the journey.
Back in the courtyard, she remembered the way Cen Yuan had shown his phone case when he answered the phone on the way there.
It's kind of interesting, and kind of funny.
"What's so funny?"
Cen Shichuan's deep, cold voice suddenly rang out.
Xu Wantang was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
She thought Cen Shichuan would have to spend another three to five days with Xu Chuxue.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chuxue actually brought Cen Shichuan back.
Coming to her senses, she explained, "I was just happy to have Mr. Liao let me and Daisy practice a new dance. It's a rare opportunity."
Cen Shichuan didn't reply, but simply moved closer to her and gently sniffed her.
It didn't smell like barbecue, but rather a very faint perfume scent.
"Did you wear perfume?"
"It's a new one that President Liao just bought. He let me use it while we were chatting," Xu Wantang explained.
When she got out of Mr. Liao's car, he only said two words to her.
rest assured.
Therefore, she was not afraid of Cen Shichuan confronting President Liao.
But given Cen Shichuan's personality, he wouldn't do something so degrading.
Cen Shichuan said "not bad," then turned and pointed to the takeout bag on the table.
"On my way back, I made a special trip to the area near your school to buy your favorite wontons so you could try them."
"..."
Xu Wantang's breath hitched when she heard that the school was nearby.
Cen Shichuan was also there.
Fortunately, the address on the packaging bag wasn't on the same street as the barbecue restaurant.
Why did Cen Shichuan emphasize that?
Or is it a test?
This is the only reason Xu Wantang can think of.
Cen Shichuan has always been a suspicious person, unless he completely trusts someone, like Xu Chuxue.
Otherwise, he would keep looking for loopholes in the other party's defenses.
Thinking it over, Xu Wantang immediately adjusted her expression and focused her attention on the wontons.
"Small wontons? I don't like small wontons. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
She never said she liked wontons.
Xu Chuxue was the only one in the Xu family who loved eating wontons the most.
Cen Shichuan observed Xu Wantang for a few seconds, his expression relaxing slightly.
He opened the insulated bag and took out the takeout box.
"Okay, I misremembered. Then come and have a taste. Didn't you stay out this late with President Liao too? Are you holding a grudge against me?"
These words carry the kind of accommodation, teasing, and even warmth that only couples share.
It seems like this was their married life before.
But before, they only harbored hatred, distrust, and scheming.
Xu Wantang couldn't continue acting and shook her head.
"I ate something at Mr. Liao's place, so I'm not hungry now. I'll go back to my room to rest."
thump.
The spoon was placed heavily on the table.
Cen Shichuan said in a cold voice, "Wantang, this is something I brought especially for you."
It means you have to eat it.
Xu Wantang took a deep breath, really not wanting to argue with Cen Shichuan.
So I sat down at the table.
Cen Shichuan handed over a spoon, his voice indifferent: "Eat it while it's hot. If you like it, I'll have someone buy it again next time."
"I..." don't like wontons.
Did Cen Shichuan really not hear?
Perhaps they didn't want to hear it.
He only ever does what he wants to do.
After all, very few people dared to disobey the words of the Third Young Master of the Cen family.
Xu Wantang didn't want to emphasize to him anymore that it was just a small wonton, and it wouldn't kill him.
She lifted the lid, and the wontons had turned into a clump of paste, with the oil congealed into white patches here and there.
It looks moldy; I wouldn't even want to eat it, let alone vomit.
"Third Young Master..."
"It's still edible."
Cen Shichuan pointed to the wontons, his tone slightly obsessive: "Warm."
Xu Wantang frowned, somewhat puzzled by his inexplicable behavior.
It's as if she could prove something just by taking a bite.
But she didn't seem to have the right to resist.
My only wish now is for Xu Chuxue to step up and take the lead.
"Okay, I'll try it."
Despite feeling nauseous, Xu Wantang separated the clump of wontons and casually scooped one into her mouth.
She swallowed it almost without chewing: "Not bad."
Cen Shichuan stared quietly at Xu Wantang, noticing the fleeting resistance in her eyes.
In the past two days, he has also thought carefully about what life would be like for the two of them after marriage.
He was indeed pushing her too hard and being too demanding.
It's normal for her to resist.
Fortunately.
They have plenty of time to work things out.
Xu Wantang felt uneasy under his gaze, put down her spoon, and stood up: "I'm going to rest."
Seeing that Cen Shichuan didn't say anything, she went back to her room.
But soon, she ran out.
"Third Young Master, all my things are gone from my room!"
