Jiang Ling’er said, “Let’s not make it sound so scary. Not everyone is a scoundrel who changes partners frequently. By the way, can you share who this gentleman is?”
The son-in-law chosen by the Wen family couldn’t be an ordinary person.
Wen Nuan replied calmly, “He’s the youngest son of the Fang family in Jiang City. He has an older brother and two sisters. I heard the two sisters are twins. He’s the youngest. Their family has a background in politics, but like our family, they also have a military tradition.”
After some thought, Jiang Ling’er said, “Generally, children from military families tend to be more disciplined. 1 might have been overly concerned.”
Wen Nuan added, “Not necessarily, Ling’er. Your concerns are valid. 1 hadn’t considered it before. I’m usually a cheerful person, but he rarely talks. Even when it’s just the two of us, I’m usually the one doing most of the talking. 1 thought it was just his personality. But now, thinking carefully, there might be someone else in his heart!”
Jiang Ling’er advised, “Then let your brother investigate thoroughly. If there’s really someone else, and it’s causing complications, it needs to be dealt with. If it’s a clean break, then it’s fine. Young people these days date quite a bit.”
Wen Nuan nodded and said, holding her phone, “Let me call my brother right now.”
Wen Nuan’s brother quickly answered the phone.
Wen Nuan said, “Bro, please check if Fang Mowei has had any romantic relationships.”
Wen Nuan’s brother seemed puzzled and said something.
Wen Nuan added, “No, he hasn’t said anything. Don’t worry about the details. Just check it quickly. If you find out anything, let me know immediately. 1 want to be completely informed.”
Despite his confusion, Wen Nuan’s brother agreed.
Wen Nuan continued, “That’s right, 1 plan to wait until after I graduate. But Grandpa said he won’t allow an immediate wedding upon graduation. 1 can’t afford to wait and then have something unexpected come up. 1’11 be devastated.”
Wen Nuan’s brother asked, “Aren’t you overthinking this?”
Wen Nuan said, “I’m just worried. Regardless of whether it’s an overthought concern or not, 1 appreciate your help. I don’t want my future husband to have someone else that he likes besides me. Even if he wants to take responsibility then, 1 don’t want him to. Do you understand?”
Wen Nuan’s brother said, “You little troublemaker…”
Wen Nuan interrupted, “Alright, big bro, you’re the best. Thank you for doing this.”
Wen Nuan’s brother could only agree and said, “So when are you coming back? Stay safe while you’re out there.”
Wen Nuan assured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll wait for Ling’er’s competition results tomorrow, and then we’ll go back together. We’ll be careful.”
Wen Nuan’s brother suggested, “How about I send security personnel to protect you now?”
Wen Nuan replied, “Bro, trust me. I’ve been training, and I’m not defenseless!”
After hanging up the phone, Wen Nuan frowned and asked, “Ling’er, how did you feel when you found out about Li Yan and Bai Xue’s affair?”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned. The original host of her body would probably have been infuriated. If it were her, she’d have one thought: Only a scumbag could be easily swayed. Let me see what that despicable woman is capable of.
However, she couldn’t say that directly. Jiang Ling’er responded, “Back then, 1 thought maybe I could use this opportunity to improve my acting skills.”
Wen Nuan was speechless.
“That was what I thought at the time,” Jiang Ling’er said. “You saw it yourself. I pulled off the role of a brainless heiress exceptionally well.”
After all, the original owner of her body was a brainless rich girl. How could she not excel at such a role?
Wen Nuan sighed and said, “It was indeed very convincing, to the point of deceiving everyone, especially the upper echelons of society.”
Jiang Ling’er chuckled and said, “This time when 1 go back, 1’11 annul the engagement, and then I’ll remove the label that the adulterous couple has placed on me, little by little.”
Wen Nuan furrowed her brow, remained silent for a while, and then said, “Cancelling the engagement might not be a problem, but 1 don’t think the Li family will give you a chance to get back at Li Yan.”
“How could I say that if I’m not confident?” Jiang Ling’er smiled.
Wen Nuan asked seriously, “Ling’er, are you rejecting Li Yu because you plan to go up against the Li family?”
Jiang Ling’er was momentarily surprised, then said, “There are some reasons related to that, but it’s not the whole story. And it’s not the Li family I want to deal with, just Li Yan and Bai Xue.”
Wen Nuan expressed her concern, “Even if you’re just targeting Li Yan, the Li family won’t stand by. I suggested helping you clean up Li Yan’s little company, but you didn’t agree.”
“If the Wen family and the Li family become enemies because of me, what kind of friend would I be?” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile..
