Chapter 1257 - 1259
Zhao Xuran saw Wu Hui Zhong pass by him listlessly, which was really strange.
In the past, given his usual behavior, he would greet him loudly as soon as he saw him, but today he acted as if he hadn’t seen him at all.
What’s the situation? Zhao Xuran couldn’t possibly pull Wu Hui Zhong aside to ask him what’s going on.
"Wu Hui Zhong’s here." The only person who could make him feel so lost and dazed, other than Gong Ruini, was no one else.
But why is he like this? "Could it be that he’s facing some troubles?"
Zhao Xuran pondered for a while and he really didn’t believe that sharp-minded Wu Hui Zhong would encounter something that’s making him so unfocused.
"It’s not that he’s facing troubles, but he’s shocked by Zhang Yan Yang’s predicament." Gong Ruini was also quite baffled as to why Wu Hui Zhong felt it was unfair for Zhang Yan Yang.
Clearly, that guy is not exactly grateful, so why would Wu Hui Zhong pity him? I really don’t get it.
What’s wrong with Zhang Yan Yang now? Zhao Xuran’s first thought was, "He probably encountered some good news."
Seeing Wu Hui Zhong so upset must mean Zhang Yan Yang is doing well again.
Good news? "Zhang Yan Yang was reported by Luo Zijun today."
Gong Ruini shared what she encountered when she went out today, "I really didn’t expect Luo Zijun to be so ruthless."
"So decisive?" Zhao Xuran paused as he was wiping his face.
"Not decisive, he’s probably provoked by Zhang Yan Yang." Reflecting on it now, Gong Ruini thinks that someone was too excessive in their actions, leading to a point where things had to be resolved quickly.
This might be possible, "So, be careful with words; it’s important to be moderate."
"Initially, just sweet-talking could have resolved the issue, but he insisted on taking advantage verbally, and look where that got him now." Regarding such a man, Zhao Xuran only wants to say, "Serves him right."
But since Zhang Yan Yang reported someone today, which is supposed to be a happy event, why is Wu Hui Zhong not happy?
"Isn’t it a cause for celebration with drinks?" Zhao Xuran was puzzled. Their relationship was all sorts of bad, so why suddenly did things become friendly enough to sympathize with each other?
Celebrate what, "Because I told him that Zhang Yan Yang was already set up by the Zhang Family, and then he started acting strange."
"Could it be that the Wu Family is stirring up trouble too?" It’s said that Wu Hui Zhong is an authority figure in the Wu Family, so there shouldn’t be anyone challenging his power.
"The Wu Family isn’t stirring up trouble, but it seems his uncle was a casualty of internal strife; otherwise, Wu Hui Zhong wouldn’t have the status he does today." Zhao Xuran doesn’t know much about these things.
He only looked into it briefly, but the information available was all cold and distant, something only those involved would know a bit about.
Oh, that’s how it is. Gong Ruini was really surprised, "I really didn’t know."
If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have said anything about it, "Forget it, stop caring about it so much."
It’s not like she can apologize, she’s innocent in this, if it weren’t for someone’s curiosity, it wouldn’t have happened.
"Seems like the Zhang Family initiated this chaos, but they intended for Zhang Yan Yang to take action from the start."
"Even if Wu Hui Zhong hadn’t broken up with Luo Zijun, he might’ve still pursued Luo Zijun."
"He didn’t expect the pursuit of Luo Zijun to be smooth, yet was unaware of your average relationship with Luo Zijun, so he later used other means."
"Yeah, and after he completed this task, someone kept encouraging him, praising him immensely, leading him to have thoughts he shouldn’t have." Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Gong Ruini was utterly shocked, even though she’s not unfamiliar with the concept, in her past life she didn’t encounter much scheming.
Especially after changing worlds, even if people had their own plans, they wouldn’t scheme internally like this. Gong Ruini certainly didn’t expect this kind of plotting within her family.
"Seems like this time the Zhang Family won’t come forward." Zhang Xuran just wants to know if Luo Zijun regrets, to the point of extreme remorse.
"Maybe they’ll put on a good show of cleansing their family."
"Perhaps Zhang Yan Yang’s fiancée, who knows about her fiancé’s indecent actions, will break up with him hastily."
"And at that moment, while comforting the fiancée, a third-generation member of the Zhang Family might suddenly find a connection, and they might remarry." Zhang Yan Yang’s fiancée has a really decent family background.
Although the core third generation of the Zhang Family wouldn’t be interested in her, others who aspire but haven’t succeeded wouldn’t want to miss out on this wealthy beauty, right?
"Anyway, the other party is aiming for the Zhang Family name, it doesn’t matter who it is." Gong Ruini said jokingly, but Zhao Xuran really thinks it’s not impossible.
"If this matter is settled like this, both the girl’s family and the Zhang Family will have a good reputation; it’s just pitiful for Zhang Yan Yang." Knowing he’s a scapegoat, who would have thought he could be scapegoated to this extent.
"Yeah, he was pitied once, but he dazzled with glory before, where he served as a backdrop for the entire third generation of the Zhang Family." Remembering how low-key Zhang Yan Yang’s elder brothers were makes sense now.
They’re all waiting here, "At least he fulfilled his lifelong ambition to dazzle."
"But do you think knowing the Zhang Family’s intentions, he might reveal them?" Regarding how the Zhang Family will handle this, Gong Ruini really doesn’t want to think about it; she just wants to know how Zhang Yan Yang will deal with it.
Finding evidence takes time, it would be great if Zhang Yan Yang voluntarily confessed.
"Useless, the Zhang Family will say that it’s just Zhang Yan Yang accusing wildly because he knows the family won’t help him anymore." After all, after such a big event, knowing his family won’t save him, it’s normal for Zhang Yan Yang to change his tune, trying to drag his family down as well.
Yes, right, exposing the Zhang Family then equates to nothing, only making the Zhang Family clean themselves again, perhaps proving once more that Zhang Yan Yang is ungrateful.
"I wonder if he’ll leave evidence." Gong Ruini can only hope for this.
Will Zhang Yan Yang leave evidence? Zhao Xuran doesn’t hold much hope, "Is he really a smart person?"
"If he’s a mindless guy, he definitely won’t think of leaving evidence."
"And would the Zhang Family give Zhang Yan Yang the opportunity to keep evidence?" None of them are fools.
Yes, the Zhang Family is so slippery; would they foolishly allow Zhang Yan Yang to have evidence against them in the future?
If they knew there was evidence, wouldn’t the Zhang Family take the chance to steal it?
Gong Ruini felt helpless; whether there’s evidence or not, it has nothing to do with them, everything can only be observed.
