Zhao Li’s voice was a little cold as his gaze landed on Wen Nian. Shen Jun wanted to say something, but he saw Zhao Jiao silently shaking her head at him.

Suddenly, Wen Nian felt an invisible pressure. This was the dignity of a superior.

She adjusted her posture awkwardly and slowly said, “Yes, it’s just a guess.”

“I’ve seen an employee of the Wei Corporation who looks especially similar to Jiang Chun. Jiang Wei also helped the Wei family get the land in Jiangjing and helped Wei Xiao gain a foothold in the Wei Corporation…” Wen Nian took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Li. “This is my guess.”

Zhao Li looked straight at her, as if he was trying to tell if she was lying. After a few seconds, Zhao Li’s back relaxed, and he said with a smile, “The younger generation will surpass us.”

Then, she glanced at Shen Jun with an expression that said, “You have good taste, kid.”

Zhao Jiao also heaved a sigh of relief. She knew her father very well. It was fine for him to smile normally, but no one could stop him when he was really angry. Today, he probably wanted to test Wen Nian. One had to know that Wen Nian’s background was well understood by the Shen and Zhao families. Naturally, the future daughter-in-law of the Shen family had to be investigated.

Looking at the old man’s expression, it seemed that Wen Nian had passed.

The few of them chatted for a while more about the evidence in Huang Yue’s hands. After confirming that they would find a lawyer for Huang Yue, Wen Nian prepared to leave.

Zhao Jiao originally wanted to let Wen Nian stay, but when she thought about how she didn’t play the role of this evil mother-in-law well today, she was too embarrassed to say anything. She couldn’t possibly fail to become an evil mother-in-law and be discovered as a fan of her daughter-in-law, right?

Shen Jun sent Wen Nian back to the villa. Only then did Wen Nian heave a sigh of relief and collapse on the bed.

Shen Jun stroked her hair dotingly. “Were you frightened today?”

“Hmph!” Wen Nian turned around with her back facing him.

Knowing that she was angry, Shen Jun lay down beside her and hugged her to his chest. He said in a low voice, “You did well today. The parents are very satisfied.”

Hearing the joy in his voice, Wen Nian felt angry. She sat up abruptly and threw a pillow at Shen Jun.

“Who asked you not to tell me in advance! Who asked you to say that I’m an ugly wife! Who asked you to play tricks!”

After a while, Wen Nian finally vented her anger. Her hair was messy and she had no strength left. She lay lazily on the bed.

Shen Jun tidied her hair and kissed her lips, which had turned even redder from anger. He looked at her with a smile.

Wen Nian pinched his face. “Why didn’t I realize that you were so thick-skinned in the past? You’re not nervous at all when you brought me to see your elders.”

“You’re so outstanding. They can’t wait to like you. Why should I be nervous?” Shen Jun kissed her face again. “My girlfriend performed well and convinced the three cunning people.”

“Who talks like that?” Wen Nian found it funny. Shen Jun usually didn’t smile, but she didn’t expect his house to be so harmonious.

However, at the thought of meeting Huang Yue tomorrow, Wen Nian’s expression darkened.

“I asked you to check if Wei Xiao was in the capital just now. Is there any news?” She looked at Shen Jun with a serious expression.

Shen Jun raised his eyebrows, then lay down and hugged her again. “He did come to the capital in a hurry. He’s staying at the International Hotel. What are his plans?”

“Huang Yue knows his secret. Now that Huang Yue has gone in, what do you think he’s doing in the capital?” Wen Nian tilted her head and looked at Shen Jun.

“You mean…” Shen Jun made a throat-slitting gesture.

Wen Nian smiled and pulled his hand. Then, he said leisurely, “The wicked will be punished by the wicked. Good and evil will be repaid.”

Wen Nian’s lips curled up imperceptibly. Instead of letting her do it, it was better to let them fight.

The next morning, in the lobby of the International Hotel, Wen Nian was tasting coffee.

To be honest, she didn’t like the taste of black coffee in her previous life. She felt that it was bitter and disgusting. In this life, she could taste it. When she was in her third year of high school, she liked this unique taste even more.

It was just after half past seven and there weren’t many people in the hall.

Suddenly, an excited voice sounded. “Wen Nian?”

She was very familiar with this voice. Wen Nian looked up and smiled. “Wei Xiao, long time no see..”
