Chapter 513: Chapter 513

"Sure, when I’m feeling down, I’ll go there and beat someone up to vent," Wan Chu’er laughed.

Yan Hui chuckled lightly, "What about now?"

Wan Chu’er was startled, a bitter smile curling up at the corners of her mouth, "There are too many entanglements now."

"I can help you if you want," Yan Hui said earnestly, his gaze steady on her.

Wan Chu’er’s hand on her lap clenched tightly, and after a few seconds of silence, she still smiled:

"Brother Yan Hui, thank you for what you just said. Let’s head back to the front, it’s time to leave. Does grandpa know you’re back? Let’s go back to the old house together today. Mrs. Zhu has learned some new dishes and they’re really delicious."

She understood what Yan Hui meant.

But she couldn’t give any response, her emotional world had always been small, allowing room only for Jiang Kechu twice, even without Jiang Kechu, she wouldn’t accept anyone else.

Since she couldn’t respond, she couldn’t exploit Yan Hui’s feelings justifiably. Yan Hui, so wonderful, she couldn’t bear for him to be tainted by her slightest unhappiness.

Yan Hui understood Wan Chu’er’s meaning, his eyes slightly downcast, masking the sadness within.

This silly girl, always so kind-hearted.

Even if being exploited, as long as she’s happy, he’s willing to be used.

They exchanged a faint smile and rose to head towards the banquet hall.

After walking a while, Wan Chu’er suddenly frowned and stopped, her gaze sharply turning towards a large tree ahead on the left.

"What’s wrong?" Yan Hui asked.

After thinking for a moment, Wan Chu’er casually said, "It’s nothing, just an unimportant person."

There was someone behind that tree, and just now she glimpsed a swatch of dark green skirt. Wei Feng was wearing a dark green skirt today, but wasn’t she supposed to be talking privately with Jiang Kechu?

Never mind, whoever it was, it had nothing to do with her. Those hiding and not daring to show themselves aren’t admirable people, not worth her concern.

Wei Feng nodded and continued walking alongside her, talking as they went.

Wei Feng behind the tree covered her mouth, letting out a sigh of relief. Wan Chu’er sure was sharp.

When she heard Wan Chu’er and Yan Hui’s voices just now, she had instinctively hidden, and regretted it afterward, thinking she had nothing to hide.

Actually, Wei Feng suppressed the fear in her heart towards Wan Chu’er. Whenever Wan Chu’er faced her, her cold and fierce demeanor was quite intimidating.

Yet, this fear made her first thought when she was alone with Wan Chu’er to hide. Newest update provided by ⓝovelFire.net

After Wan Chu’er and Yan Hui disappeared from sight and no longer a sound was heard, Wei Feng adjusted her skirt and walked out. Only then did she start to think about Wan Chu’er and Yan Hui, wondering why they were in such a secluded place.

After a while, a mischievous smile appeared on Wei Feng’s lips, and she took a shortcut to the banquet hall.

"Does Jiang Kechu’s ex require my help in handling?" Yan Hui asked.

Wan Chu’er pursed her lips into a smile, "I have it under control."

Yan Hui smiled and shook his head, continuing, "The Wei Family has declined with each generation. The most capable, Mr. Wei, died three years ago. Over these years, their connections have also largely dwindled. That’s why they swiftly married off their daughter to a military officer who unfortunately is more show than substance, and too opportunistic."

Hearing this, Wan Chu’er was slightly surprised. How could Yan Hui know so much about Wei Feng’s family? Although Wei Feng’s family had many relatives, they all worked at the lower levels of governmental departments, having no connection with Yan Hui.

Could it be that Yan Hui investigated the Wei family because of her?

Then how did Yan Hui know about her recent situation? Did Xiao Bai tell him, or did Yan Hui leave someone behind in the country to keep an eye on her?

Regardless of which it was, Wan Chu’er felt somewhat burdened.

She shook her head and said, "Brother Yan Hui, don’t do these things anymore. If I need to look something up, I can do it myself. You have so many things to handle and are so busy."

Facing Wan Chu’er’s request, Yan Hui smiled and responded with a simple "okay."

Wei Feng entered the banquet hall ahead of them, and she immediately spotted Jiang Kechu frowning as he made a phone call. Without hesitation, she quickly walked up to him.

"Brother Jiang, are you looking for Chuchu? I heard someone say they had just been seen in the garden at the northwest corner."

The northwest corner garden?

Jiang Kechu knew the place; it was secluded, planted with many beautiful flowers, and especially now that everyone was in the banquet hall, it should be just the two of them there.

Thinking this, Jiang Kechu’s expression slightly changed, and after excusing himself with a "please excuse me" to Wei Feng, he hastened his pace out.

Seeing Jiang Kechu’s hastily departing figure, Wei Feng slightly smiled.

As soon as he left the banquet hall, Jiang Kechu saw Yan Hui and Wan Chu’er ten meters ahead, walking leisurely with smiles on their faces, which tensed the veins on Jiang Kechu’s forehead.

"Chuchu," he called out loudly.

Both Wan Chu’er and Yan Hui looked up at him, their smiling expressions fading.

Why did they stop smiling? Was it because they were unhappy to see him? Or did they disdain him for interrupting them? Jiang Kechu clenched his fist.

Wan Chu’er, familiar with every detail of Jiang Kechu, immediately said to Yan Hui, "Brother Yan Hui, please go ahead first. Jiang Kechu and I need to have a serious talk."

"Where did you go?" Jiang Kechu approached and asked with a smile tinged with inklings of laughter upon hearing Wan Chu’er’s words.

Yan Hui did not leave, saying openly, "It’s too crowded inside, and Chuchu was feeling down, so we just walked around a bit."

Jiang Kechu’s gaze sharpened, ’Chuchu was feeling down’, was it because of his issue with Wei Feng? He loosened his fist.

Wan Chu’er said solemnly, "Jiang Kechu, let’s talk."

In this situation, Yan Hui didn’t want to leave, and Wan Chu’er didn’t want Jiang Kechu and Yan Hui to clash. If a conflict did arise, Yan Hui wouldn’t stand a chance against Jiang Kechu and would be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, she saw Jiang Kechu’s gesture of loosening his fist; he was still anxious about her, so she decided to give Jiang Kechu another chance.

"Okay," Jiang Kechu readily agreed, sensing that the situation was slightly slipping out of his control, indeed, it was time for him to have a proper talk with Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er said to Yan Hui, "Thank you for today, Brother Yan Hui," her words hinting at a goodbye.

Yan Hui, however, smiled and said, "I’m returning to Europe in three days. If you feel unhappy, consider coming to Europe with me to relax a bit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kechu immediately turned his head to look at him. "There’s no need for that. Chuchu doesn’t have the time; she’ll accompany me to Northwest." His vacation time in Beijing was short, and he needed to travel to the Northwest soon.

Seeing Jiang Kechu and Yan Hui argue, Wan Chu’er frowned and turned to leave.

Jiang Kechu could no longer concern himself with Yan Hui, immediately following her, his heart filled with growing unease. He kept silent all the way, fearing that speaking might further annoy Chuchu, and thought about how he would make amends later.
