Get the Zhan family? Zhan Haoze thought this person was hilarious.
Since when did he ever want to get the Zhan family? Whether it was money or status, he preferred to earn it with his own hands.
He didnât want anything from the Zhan family at all. In his heart, there was only one outcome in the future, and that was to destroy the Zhan family with his own hands.
He was already doing this now, and it was only a matter of time before he reached the final step.
This was something that even Zhan Haoze had to admit. It wasnât unreasonable for Zhan Kun to be ruthless and ruthless in his actions. Just look at the power and momentum that the Zhan family had developed in his hands over the years.
But so what? He wasnât afraid at all.
âYou came here just to say this nonsense?â
Uncle Chi choked. Thinking of his purpose of coming here.., he wanted to flare up, but he had no choice but to calm his heart down. âHaoze. The Zhan family is a big business. I think youâve seen the abilities of the other descendants of the third generation during this period of time. Since thatâs the case, why donât you take a step back? Your purpose is just to get the Zhan family. âNow, Iâll go and persuade the old master to give you the Zhan family. You should also stop your actions, how about that?â
Uncle Chi felt that this was very good. He had followed Zhan Kun for many years, so he had a clear understanding of Zhan Kunâs temper and personality.
Now that Zhan Kun was already so sick, if it wasnât for the fact that he couldnât see the Zhan family collapse in his hands for the past month or so, Zhan Kun would have been completely done for.
Uncle Chi had been holding on to the Zhan familyâs death warrant for nearly two months, but he hadnât sent it out. It wasnât because he was soft-hearted or for other reasons. After weighing the pros and cons, he realized that letting Zhan Haoze take over the Zhan family was the best outcome.
Although he knew that this was the best outcome, he had always been unwavering by Zhan Kunâs side all these years.
His standpoint was the same as Zhan Kunâs. Such a big surprise was a great gift to Zhan Haoze.
Unfortunately, he didnât know much about Zhan Haoze. He thought that Zhan Haoze was like Zhan Yi and the others. But he didnât know that in Zhan Haozeâs heart, nothing could compare to his determination to destroy the Zhan family.
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and looked at Uncle Chiâs face.
âGive the Zhan family to me?â
âYes.â
âAre you sure?â
âOf course.â Uncle Chi still had a trace of smugness in his heart. âIsnât that your goal?â
Zhan Haozeâs lips pursed into a straight line. He looked straight at Uncle Chi with a cold gaze. He didnât speak either. That gaze was enough to make people unable to stand it.
Uncle Chi suddenly realized that something was wrong. No matter what, he was an old man who had been by Zhan Kunâs side for a long time. How could he be shocked by the gaze of a junior?
But in that instant just now, he actually felt a chill on his back.
Zhan Haoze didnât speak. Uncle Chi swallowed his saliva and tried his best to steady his voice. âFor such a good thing, you should know what to do, right?â
Zhan Haoze, who was sitting on the sofa, finally changed his position. He snapped his fingers. Soon, someone came in.
âThrow him out.â
These simple words made uncle Chiâs eyes widen. He couldnât believe that he, who had been proud in front of Zhan Kun for half of his life, was dismissed like that.
âZhan Haoze, do you know what you are doing?â The moment Uncle Chiâs arm was lifted, Uncle Chiâs expression changed.
Before Uncle Chi was dragged away, Zhan Haoze finally stood up. His eyes filled with malice as he looked at Uncle Chi, he slowly walked in front of Uncle Chi.
âIâve always known what Iâm doing, but itâs you guys who donât know.â
âI donât care about the Zhan family. All I want is to destroy him.â
Looking at Uncle Chiâs shocked eyes, he coldly curled his lips. âAfter all, someone has to die for what happened back then. Donât you think so?â
Uncle Chi was truly shocked this time. He stared at Zhan Haoze with wide eyes. He couldnât believe that Zhan Haoze actually knew about what happened back then.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? What happened back then?â
He wanted to play dumb, but Zhan Haoze didnât have the patience to play along. He waved his hand and said, âThrow him out.â
Uncle Chi, who had been by Zhan Kunâs side for half his life, was thrown out just like that.
Zhan Haoze sat back on the sofa. At this moment, Tang Hua entered the room. He bent down and said, âBoss, Zhan Yi asked someone to deliver a message saying that he wants to see you.â
âZhan Yi?â
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and thought of some of Zhan Yiâs recent actions.
He still had some ability, but compared to his determination, it was nothing.
âI wonât see him.â Zhan Haoze stood up. âPrepare the plane to fly to Lin City. Let sixth brother and seventh brother keep a close eye on the rest of the matters here.â
âYes.â Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haozeâs expression, and had a rare intention to joke with him. âYou want to see sister-in-law?â
It had been two months since Zhan Haoze last returned to Lin City.
Zhan Haoze glared at Tang Hua. He didnât deny it, but his footsteps were a few steps faster.
..
Shi Mengwanâs days in the past two months had been very smooth. After the French competition, the studio had recruited two new people.
The new peopleâs abilities werenât bad. After trying them out for more than two months, she found that they were all promising. Their design concept and ideas were also very compatible with hers.
The studioâs business was booming. She began to get into work and get more busy.
Zhan Haoze hadnât come to look for her since that day. She had dreamed of that man, that he had secretly made her house keys again and came to see her.
But when she woke up, she found that it was a dream. After she woke up, she even smelled Zhan Haozeâs scent in the room. This made her suspect that she was hallucinating.
Fortunately, she hadnât dreamed of Zhan Haoze since that day. This made her feel relaxed, but at the same time, she also felt a little disappointed.
It was impossible to forget. It was impossible to forget for the rest of her life.
Whether it was the first time they met when she was 12 years old, or everything after their reunion, to Shi Mengwan, those were memories that were engraved in the depths of her heart and couldnât be forgotten.
She was still thinking that perhaps she needed more time to force herself to forget everything.
However, before she could give herself time to calm down, Mother Shi could no longer sit still.
Ever since she met Zhan Haoze last time, Mother Shi had been worried. She had thought that Shi Mengwan was a child who knew her limits, but she never expected that she would get involved with someone who had a fiancée.
This wasnât something Mother Shi could tolerate. After thinking about it, she felt that she cared too little about Shi Mengwan.
Therefore, after she returned home, she thought about it carefully and felt that she still had to let Shi Mengwan go on a blind date.
The people she met outside were unreliable. However, a blind date was different. The people she met on a blind date were, first of all, someone who knew the ins and outs of the situation. Second of all, as a mother, she could help to keep an eye on things. What could be more suitable and ideal than this?
After thinking things through, Shi Mengwanâs mother took Shi Mengwanâs matters more seriously. The unlucky one was Shi Mengwan.
Her mother arranged blind dates every two to three days. As for the blind dates, most of them were from the town.
Apart from the ones from town, there were also some distant relatives who were far away and had no connection with her. When they heard that Shi Mengwanâs mother wanted to find someone to go on a blind date with Shi Mengwan, they introduced them to her.
They were from the town, the county, and Lin City.
Shi Mengwan was annoyed, but she couldnât refuse. As soon as she refused, Shi Mengwan would ask, âAre you still unable to forget that Zhan guy?â
As soon as these words were thrown out, in order to prove that she had already forgotten that âZhan guy,â Shi Mengwan had gone on many blind dates during this period of time.
That afternoon, she was just about to call Xiao Ji to order takeout when her phone rang. It was Mother Shi again.
Without exception, it was about a blind date again. First, it was about the manâs conditions, and then it was about how good they were.
Of course, all of the blind dates were, without exception, able to accept being married into the family. They were willing to be a son-in-law, and the child she gave birth to would be surnamed Shi.
Sometimes, Shi Mengwan couldnât help but marvel at it. Where did her mother find so many people who were willing to agree to her familyâs conditions?
Or was it that men nowadays were already settling for second best? It was said that the ratio of men and women was out of whack. In two years, there would be at least 30 million bachelors.
Shi Mengwan didnât believe it before, but now that she thought about it, it could really be true.
After all, if it wasnât for the fact that so many men couldnât get a wife, how could they casually agree to such conditions?
She sighed in her heart and finally hung up the phone. However, it wasnât long before her phone rang again.
Shi Mengwan was already feeling weak. âHello, Mom.â
Afraid that Mother Shi would miss her for a long time, she spoke first, âI got it. Donât remind me anymore. Tonight at seven oâclock, Starlight Cafe. Donât worry, since I promised you, naturally I will go.â
On the other side of the phone, Mother Shiâs familiar voice didnât sound.
âIs Mengwan going on a blind date?â
Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she actually picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.
âWan Xianyang?â
âItâs me.â Wan Xianyangâs mischievous voice sounded. âMengwan, you didnât consider me as a blind date candidate. That really makes me sad.â
âWan Xianyang.â Shi Mengwan really had no way to answer him. âYou ââ
âJust cancel your blind date tonight. With me around, what blind date?â
âHow can I cancel it? That was arranged by my mother.â
âDo you have Auntieâs number? Do you need me to call her personally to explain?â
âWan Xianyang, stop fooling around.â How would Shi Mengwan dare to let him contact Mother Shi? It wouldnât be good if there was some misunderstanding.
âIâm not fooling around. Iâm serious.â
âWan Xianyang.â Shi Mengwan had a headache. âDonât come and cause trouble. Iâll settle it myself.â
With the excuse that she was going to eat, Shi Mengwan dismissed Wan Xianyang away. After hanging up the phone, Shi Mengwan was in a daze for a long time.
The person she liked didnât like her.
The person she didnât like liked her. It really was..
Shi Mengwan thought about it and decided not to take this matter to heart. Right now, she had received another order, and the other party had specifically asked her to design it.
Hence, she got busy again. When it was time to get off work, Shi Mengwan, who was unwilling to give up, decided to go to Starlight Cafe after dragging it out in the office.
Xiao Ji, Xiao Qiu, and the others were still at work. When they saw the resigned expression on Shi Mengwanâs face, they were amused.
It was the secret of the entire studio that Shi Mengwan was forced to go on a blind date. After all, Mother Shi had specially come to the studio before she left the last time.
First of all, she wanted to see her daughterâs working environment and thank these people for taking care of her. Second of all, she wanted to see if there were any suitable candidates for her daughter.
After that, from time to time, she would call to arrange a blind date. Since Shi Mengwan didnât pick up the phone, naturally someone would pick it up for her. With that, the entire studio knew.
Their expressions of wanting to watch a good show provoked Shi Mengwan. She gritted her teeth and glared at those people. âIf you guys laugh again, there wonât be any bonus for this month.â
Xiao Ji and the others didnât dare to laugh anymore. Shi Mengwan finally felt that her stifled breath had calmed down quite a bit. However, she still had to head to Starlight Cafe.
It was said that the location of this blind date was arranged by the blind date. It was quite close to Shi Mengwanâs studio.
Even if Shi Mengwan was unwilling, she had to admit it. The person that Mother Shi arranged was quite reliable. It was rare to encounter the kind of weirdness that people mentioned on the internet.
That was true. After Mother Shi met Zhan Haoze, she started to panic. Although there were a lot of men, they all wanted to know their ancestors.
Under such circumstances, the blind dates that appeared in front of Shi Mengwan were really acceptable.
After entering the door, Shi Mengwanâs gaze instinctively searched for this 18th or 19th blind date of hers.
Before she came, Shi Mengwanâs mother had already sent the photo to her phone. She hadnât had the time to look at it, so she took out her phone to take a look.
The man wearing glasses looked refined and gentle, but he wasnât her type. Now that he was here, she had no choice but to meet him.
After looking around and not finding her blind date, Shi Mengwan picked a seat and sat down. She picked up her phone and scrolled through Weibo.
Today, there was one hot topic, which was asking about the âweirdest blind date youâve ever metâ. Shi Mengwan casually glanced at it and looked at the various weirdos on it, then she felt much more approving of Mother Shiâs tastes.
Truthfully, if it wasnât for the fact that she couldnât forget Zhan Haoze, out of all the blind dates that Shi Mengwan had picked, it wouldnât have been too bad if she just randomly picked one to get married.
However, todayâs date didnât appear for a long time. Shi Mengwan looked at the time. It was already ten minutes past seven, and the blind date hadnât arrived yet. This was something that had never happened before.
Did something happen on the way?
Shi Mengwan didnât want to think like this, but she still had to make a phone call.
However, before she could get through the call, someone had already sat down across from her.
âMengwan.â Wan Xianyang was holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand. At this moment, when he saw Shi Mengwanâs astonished face, his smile was indescribably bright.
âLong time no see.â
Shi Mengwan wasnât in a hurry to pick up the flowers that Wan Xianyang handed over. She didnât get through the call and was still thinking about continuing â
âIf you want to call your blind date surnamed Chen, you donât have to call him.â
Wan Xianyang reminded her âkindlyâ, âIâve already talked to him just now. After he heard that Iâm your boyfriend, hevery generously wished us happiness.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shi Mengwan didnât know what expression she was going to put on. Looking at Wan Xianyang, she sighed in her heart. âWan Xianyang, actually, you donât have to do this. I can handle it.â
Wan Xianyang frowned. âDo you think that Iâm trying to help you get rid of your blind date?â
âIsnât it?â
âOf course not.â Wan Xianyang stood up a little angrily and quickly sat down again. He placed the bouquet of flowers to the side and looked at Shi Mengwanâs face very seriously. âIâm serious. Since you want to go on a blind date, why donât you consider me? Am I worse than those blind dates?â
The bespectacled man was a joke. He didnât even really do anything besides wave his fists, yet that man backed down. How could such a man be worthy of Wanwan?
âThatâs not what I meant.â
âThen what do you mean?â Wan Xianyang originally didnât plan to meet Shi Mengwan this time. After all, he could only stay in Lin City for two days and he still had a lot of things to do.
However, he originally wanted to make a phone call in front of Shi Mengwan to make his presence known. He didnât expect to hear that she wanted to go on a blind date with i8ith.
âWeâre not suitable.â
âWhatâs not suitable?â Wan Xianyang didnât understand. âYouâre talking about family background. My family isnât that kind of snobby family. Our Wan family also has a precedent of having a marriage alliance with a small family. Iâm talking about feelings. Iâm completely sincere towards you. Arenât I better than those blind dates that youâve only met a few times? Besides, even if you think that you wonât have any social life when you marry into Rong City and youâre unwilling, donât you still have a sister-in-law? I grew up with Huo Jinyao. If you really get together with me, wonât you be able to be with sister-in-law as well? I really canât think of how Iâm inferior to those blind dates of yours.â
Ever since they met, Wan Xianyang had always been gentle and polite. He was humorous and didnât hide his utilitarian nature as a businessman.
However, Shi Mengwan had never seen Wan Xianyang like this, when he said a whole bunch of words in one breath, before.
She shifted her gaze slightly and looked at the bouquet of red roses. âBecause you will never be able to fulfill my conditions.â
âWhat do you mean?â Wan Xianyang didnât quite understand. On one hand, Shi Mengwan really wanted him to give up, but on the other hand, she also very seriously proposed her conditions.
âMy mother and father only gave birth to two daughters, me and my sister. And I promised my parents that if I want to get married in the future, I will look for a son-in-law.â
âA son-in-law?â Wan Xianyangâs expression was a little baffled. âWhat do you mean?â
âThat is, our family requires a son-in-law to marry into the family. The child born will have my surname.â
Shi Mengwanâs words were especially firm. This time, Wan Xianyang was in no hurry to speak.
He sat on the chair, as if he didnât expect Shi Mengwan to say something like this. âYou, are you joking with me?â
âNo.â Shi Mengwan shook her head. âIâm serious.â
Seeing that Wan Xianyang still hadnât reacted, she said softly, âWan Xianyang, donât waste your time on me. I know your identity very well. So, I know that your family wonât let you be my familyâs son-in-law, let alone let your child have my surname. Since you know that itâs impossible, why are you so infatuated with me?â
Shi Mengwan had never asked about Wan Xianyangâs family background, but there were some things that she didnât need to ask to know.
Huo Jinyaoâs childhood friend had an impressive family background. His own antique shop was practically making a fortune every day. He had a distinguished family background and had good looks.
How could such a man agree to marry into the family?
Shi Mengwan said nothing more and stood up while Wan Xianyang was in a daze. When she said she was going to the bathroom, she was actually giving Wan Xianyang time to process her words.
She believed that Wan Xianyang understood and would probably leave soon.
She went into the bathroom and washed her face to calm herself down.
No matter what, todayâs blind date was avoided. After all, with Wan Xianyang around, she didnât need to send off the previous blind date.
However, she was happy too early and before the water on her face could dry, Mother Shi called.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Are you with that Zhan guy again? Why did I hear that you didnât go on a proper blind date and instead got someone to chase that guy away?â
âMom, itâs nothing.â
âIf itâs not that Zhan guy, then who is it? Wanwan, donât tell me you donât want to go on a blind date, so you randomly found a man to brush me off?â
âIâm not, Mom.â
Shi Mengwan felt that there were times when she really couldnât communicate with Mother Shi.
While she was still thinking about how to explain herself, she kept walking towards the other side. She was walking a little too fast and didnât notice that there was someone in front of her.
The moment her body collided with someone, the phone in her palm almost flew out.
At the same time that the phone left her palm, Shi Mengwan wanted to grab it, but the person was one step faster than her. He caught the phone and placed it in her hand.
Shi Mengwan stood there and reflexively grabbed it, but she couldnât care less about what mother Shi said. She just stared at the person in front of her in a daze.
The two of them hadnât seen each other for almost two months. The man in front of her was still tall and big, but his expression was tired. He had also lost a lot of weight. When he looked at her now, his face was filled with mirth and gentleness.
Shi Mengwan was shocked by his expression and even forgot that Mother Shi was still talking on the other end of the phone.
It wasnât until Shi Mengwan shouted again that she casually said something and hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up the phone, her body was pulled into the arms of the man in front of her. He hugged her a little harder, but he restrained himself from hurting her.
He rubbed his chin against the top of her hair, and caused Shi Mengwanâs body to stiffen. She didnât expect Zhan Haoze to appear in front of her again.
âWanwan.â She heard his voice. âI miss you so much.â
His voice was gentle and without a hint of hostility. His hug simply revealed his emotions.
For a moment, Shi Mengwan was unable to move. She thought that it was probably because she had been suppressing herself too much for the past two months that she was hallucinating.
Otherwise, why would she see Zhan Haoze in broad daylight?
Not only did she see Zhan Haoze, but she also saw such a gentle side to Zhan Haoze.
âYou ââ
She wanted to speak, and her lips moved, but she didnât know what to say. Zhan Haoze tightened his arms slightly and bringing her closer to him, he hugged her waist with great force.
âWanwan, I missed you so much.â
He said it again. The weather in Lin city was getting colder, but it wasnât cold yet. The man was wearing a shirt and wasnât wearing a tie. The warmth of his chest burned her face.
She couldnât help but raise her head to look at him. He was also looking at her. The moment their eyes met, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
At that moment, Shi Mengwan felt as if there were fireworks bursting in the sky.
She had worked hard for the past two months to forget Zhan Haozeâs determination. At this moment, everything was thrown to the back of her mind!
