Chapter 859 - 748, The Misunderstanding
Having sent off the people from the Dong Family, Daohua and her companions then returned to the city.
After entering the city, Zhou Chengye turned to Yan Wentao, Xiao Yeyang, and Yan Wenkai, "This time, my second uncle was able to escape disaster, largely thanks to your help. Before leaving, my grandfather again and again instructed me to make sure to express our gratitude to you."
Yan Wentao laughed, "You are being too formal. After all, my second uncle was wrongfully accused, and we merely reported the truth."
Zhou Chengye knew that the matter was not as simple as Yan Wentao made it out to be. He took note of this kindness in his heart and, with a fist held in the other hand, said to the three of them, "Should there ever be a time when you need my assistance, please make sure to notify me."
Yan Wenkai, with a hearty laugh, took over the conversation, "Of course, we won’t stand on ceremony with you."
Hearing this, Zhou Chengye immediately broke into a smile.
Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao also smiled along.
Quickly glancing at Yan Wentao, Zhou Chengye thought about the fact that several days had passed since the Zhou Family’s restrictions had been lifted, yet he had not paid a visit even once. Hesitating for a moment, he smiled and inquired, "Do you have other matters to attend to today? If you’re not busy, why not come over to my place for a visit?"
Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenkai both looked at Yan Wentao.
Yan Wentao hesitated. He indeed wanted to visit the Zhou Residence, especially after learning that the Zhou Family patriarch had personally gone to the Peng Family to break off the engagement. Hope flared in his heart once again, yet he worried that appearing too eager might make the Zhou Family feel he was exploiting their gratitude.
