Shen Jun’s kiss came unexpectedly fast. Before Wen Nian could prepare herself, her lips were claimed by him.
Realizing they were in a public park with people passing by, Wen Nian tried to push Shen Jun away, but he held her hand firmly against her chest, rendering her unable to move.
This kiss felt different from before. Shen Jun seemed a bit hurried, lacking the usual order. Sensing her brain running out of oxygen, Wen Nian gently pushed him away.
Wen Nian panted heavily, her face flushed and tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Shen Jun swallowed hard and pecked her face again, but Wen Nian pushed him away.
“What’s wrong with you? We’re still outside!”
Scanning their surroundings, Wen Nian felt a slight relief that nobody seemed to be paying attention to them.
Shen Jun also realized his impulsiveness this time. He touched his nose in embarrassment, but stubbornly said, “Who told you to understand Wei Xiao so well? Are you still in love with him?”
Observing Shen Jun’s flushed face, Wen Nian recalled what she had said and detected a hint of jealousy.
Despite being high school students, Wen Nian had lived two lives. She didn’t want to quarrel with Shen Jun, so she explained, “I’m familiar with the Wei family, and I’ve encountered people like him with a heart like a beast. I understand his cruelty, his cunning, and his deceit. What’s wrong with that?”
She added, “The Wei family and mine have an irreconcilable feud. How could I still have feelings for him? Besides, isn’t he engaged to Jiang Ning?”
“Can’t the engagement be called off?” Shen Jun avoided her gaze and mumbled softly.
Wen Nian couldn’t help but smile. She reached out, tugging at his collar, and seeing that no one was around, she quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
“Exactly. Didn’t I break off the engagement with him? Otherwise, how could I have such an amazing boyfriend?”
Shen Jun glanced down and saw her smiling. A warm feeling surged into his heart, prompting him to hug Wen Nian.
After a while, he said, “I’m a bit jealous of him. If only I had met you from the beginning.”
“It’s not too late.” Wen Nian hugged him tightly. “It’s not too late. We’re together at the right time.”
The two lingered in the park, feeling more at ease. That’s when Shen Jun asked Wen Nian about her plans regarding the Wei family.
“Even if he has a plan, he can’t execute it now. The person backing him must be very influential. We can only gather evidence first and aim for a decisive blow.”
After a night of contemplation, Wen Nian had a clear understanding of the situation. Wei Xiao surely had someone behind him, but their identity remained unknown.
“It’s the Jiang family,” Shen Jun suddenly said.
“The Jiang family?” Wen Nian looked at him in confusion, then realization dawned. “Jiang Ning and Wei Xiao are about to get engaged. Helping Wei Xiao take control of the Wei family also benefits the Jiang family. It might indeed be the Jiang family.”
“It’s not the Jiang family in Hai City but the Jiang family in the capital.”
Shen Jun then revealed that Jiang Chun had visited him and his parents.
“Jiang Guo doesn’t have such a brain. If he could do things flawlessly, the Jiang family in Hai City wouldn’t be like this,” Shen Jun said seriously. “But Jiang Wei is different. He can be considered one of the top talents in the capital.”
The Jiang family was originally a lesser-known family. While they might have had some recognition in Hai City, their reputation in the capital was mainly attributed to Jiang Wei alone, with some credit to his wife’s family.
If the Shen family was a long-established, super-powerful lineage, then the Jiang family was a recently established entity crafted from the ground up by Jiang Wei. Remarkably, they could even compete with the Shen family in various domains.
At the mention of Jiang Wei’s name, Wen Nian’s heart suddenly jolted. She struggled to steady her voice and asked, “Jiang Wei? Are you referring to Jiang Wei from the Jiang family in the capital?”
“Yes, the Jiang family’s two brothers use the ‘Weiguo’ character. Jiang Wei is the elder brother.” Sensing something amiss, Shen Jun inquired further, “What’s wrong? Do you know this person? He’s Jiang Chun’s father.”
Upon hearing that he was Jiang Chun’s father, Wen Nian couldn’t help but tremble.
She repeated “Jiang Wei” a few times in her mind, and her sealed memories began to unravel. In her previous life, she had not only encountered this man, but she had also spent time in his company..
