Fu Sui also chimed in,
“Today is supposed to be a happy day. It really shouldn’t be so unpleasant. If there’s any misunderstanding, it’s better to clear it up as soon as possible.”
Le Wan sized up the two of them, then glanced at Le An, who was standing up by holding the railing.
“So, you said that we have to be punished like criminals and stand here for you to interrogate?”
Her expression almost said, “Who Do You Think You Are?!”
“Alright, since you’re in a hurry, we’ll get everything clear. Since the banquet hasn’t started yet and everyone’s bored from waiting, I’ll just treat it as a fun thing to relieve everyone’s boredom.”
Le Wan called the head of security and asked him for the surveillance camera.
“It’s all thanks to grandpa’s foresight that they installed the surveillance camera higher so that the stairs would also be included in the surveillance range. Otherwise, they might have wronged someone.”
When Le An heard what she said, her face paled.
If the surveillance cameras had captured the situation just now, it was one thing for Zhai Jing not to save her. But when she pounced on Zhai Jing, even if she could explain that it was an accident, in the eyes of others, she was still suspected to have ill intentions.
If she had exposed her motive early on, she might be strictly watched if she wanted to get close to Zhai Jing in the future.
“I know that big sister has always been fair in handling things. She will not wrong anyone, nor will she be biased towards anyone.” Le Yan pretended to flatter her.
She obviously didn’t see Le An’s expression. She only thought that since Zhai Jing had caused trouble on the first day of his visit, the two elders’ good impression of him would be greatly reduced.
Originally, in the hearts of the two elders, Fu Sui was once the number one grandson-in-law, but because he hooked up with Le Yan and broke off his engagement with Le Wan, he became the most despised person in the hearts of Old Master Le and Old Madam Le.
When they first met, although they didn’t drive him away out of courtesy, they had treated him as if he didn’t exist, which made Fu Sui feel embarrassed.
If Zhai Jing came and he won the favor of the two elders, Fu Sui’s treatment would be even more unbearable.
Therefore, Le Yan wanted to gain the upper hand. When they officially met, she would step on Zhai Jing first so that no one would dislike each other.
How could Le Wan not see what she was up to? However, what Le Yan didn’t understand was that even if the two elders really didn’t like Zhai Jing, it was not a matter of importance to her. Because of Le Wan, she had enough confidence to live on her own and not live depending on other people’s opinions.
Secondly, Le Wan also believed in Grandpa Le and Grandma Le’s judgment. Even if the two of them were not in charge of the affairs now, they would occasionally do some biased things because of favoritism. How could they not see through their little tricks?
Hence, when Zhai Jing lowered his head and asked her,
“Do you trust me that much?”
Le Wan turned around and showed a confident and calm smile.
“I don’t trust you, but I trust my own judgment.”
Zhai Jing didn’t feel disappointed.
“So, your judgment is that you believe me, right?”
Le Wan thought for a moment.
“You can understand it that way.”
Zhai Jing also laughed.
“That’s enough.”
Because of Le Wan’s words, the tension in Zhai Jing’s heart was finally released. As long as Le Wan was still standing with him, he wouldn’t have to be nervous no matter what he was facing.
The few of them entered the house noisily. Grandpa Le and Grandma Le’s eyes directly ignored Le Yan and the others and looked back, only to see Le Wan smiling and holding the hand of a tall and thin boy.
“He’s quite handsome, I’m sure many people will like him.”
This was Grandma Le’s first reaction.
“It’s like you’re living off a woman.”
This was Grandpa Le’s first comment when he saw Zhai Jing.
“Grandpa Le, Grandma Le, nice to meet you. I’m Zhai Jing.”
Zhai Jing stepped forward to greet them and presented the gift he had chosen.
“Good, good, good.” Grandma Le was also an invisible beauty. Therefore, the more she looked at Zhai Jing’s appearance and bearing, the more satisfied she was.
Grandpa Le was much stricter. A good-looking man couldn’t be eaten. The most important thing was to be responsible.
“I heard that you’re working at Dahong Company now. Have you thought about your future plans? Also, I heard that your mother’s health isn’t very good. Have you made arrangements?”
