Chapter 284 - Zheng Shuyan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chenyan was surprised when she had heard that Liu Li Villa was the Shen Clan Mansion.

The few days she had spent in Liu Li Villa, she spent them on turning it inside out. However, there were a number of rooms and storerooms that she was forbidden to enter by Yuan Xuan.

Yuan Xuan told her that the previous owner had left behind some things that he did not wish to be broken.

She was curious. Yuan Xuan had always been very territorial, not other people could even enter the Liu Li Villa, but he kept the possessions of the previous owner.

“Where is Shen Muqiu right now?”

Mu Chenyan asked.

If it were before of Shen Muqiu, it was understandable why Yuan Xuan would keep the possessions in Liu Li Villa.

“Shen Muqiu is mysterious. He’s vicious and decisive, as well as daring in his assassination attempts. He’s got a bit of fame going around in the underground gang’s community. Everyone from his organization was well-trained and disciplined.”

“Shen Muqiu had organized several huge cases, even the Interpol were looking for him. Yuan Xuan and him were close, I think only Yuan Xuan could contact him at this point.”

Mu Chenyan was confused. She had been in the UK for several years, but she did not know Yuan Xuan was in contact with such an organization.

There were so many things she did not know!

“Chenyan, I can’t tell you how many more secrets Yuan Xuan is holding, but one thing is certain, Yuan Xuan’s love toward you...”

Wu Ze explained as he looked at Mu Chenyan, whose face blushed. “I know...”

...

In Yuan Tangzhong’s study room in the Peace Mansion.

Yuan Tangzhong’s secretary had her golden-rimmed glasses on while she reported the investigator’s findings to Yuan Tangzhong.

“Yuan Xuan bought a gallery for Miss Zhao on Ougao Road!”

Yuan Zhe stood on the side, not daring to interrupt. In the past few days, his old man was not happy with him.

“What on earth is Yuan Xuan doing? I think, there’s something wrong with that Zhao Ruoxin!” Yuan Tangzhong said with a hint of worry in his voice.

He glanced at Yuan Zhe, who finally piped up.

“Father, let’s not care about that Zhao Ruoxin! Mu Chenyan ruined our plan this time, I can’t just swallow this! Yuan Xuan’s weak spot is Mu Chenyan, I really want to get rid of her...”

Any time Yuan Zhe brought up Mu Chenyan, he would be instantly enraged!

His cruel face was filled with hatred.

Had Mu Chenyan not reported on Sun Xu, a case that would be buried would not have resurfaced.

“You idiot!” Hearing that, Yuan Tangzhong scolded, “You think Mu Chenyan is easy to handle? Do you take Yuan Xuan as a rice-eater (TN: Chinese idiom. To accuse someone of being useless to the point that their only contribution at home was to eat.)?”

Yuan Zhe knew that the moment he speaks would be the moment he was yelled at. He lowered his eyes and stopped speaking.

“You think Yuan Xuan was the same as a few years ago? The same Yuan Xuan who would allow you to threaten him with Mu Chenyan?”

“Where would Mu Chenyan get her materials from? The one behind her is Yuan Xuan himself!”

Yuan Tangzhong sat in his chair, took a breath, and continued reprimanding.

“You useless thing, if it wasn’t for Nie Chao’s suicide taking responsibility for everything, do you think you would sit here peacefully? In a few days, someone will come from the Capital City to investigate this, so control yourself! You can’t touch Mu Chenyan, especially now!”

Secretary He poured Yuan Tangzhong a cup of tea. “Teacher, let’s not blame Young Master for now. It’s already in the past. We’ve arranged everything to handle the person from the Capital City, there won’t be any major issues.”

Yuan Tangzhong nodded and told the secretary, “Secretary He, arrange something else for me. I want to take several days of sick leave. In this period of time, don’t entertain any guests! Order my staff to be vigilant. Before the people from Capital City leave, don’t do anything rash!”

Secretary He nodded after receiving the order, then looked at Yuan Zhe carefully.

After being admonished, Yuan Zhe was discontented. “Father, Nie Chao’s money-making schtick is not this, it’s his own fault that he fell on this!”

“Furthermore, the money he made was not for me. Do you think Mu Chenwu would listen to us without the money to support his team?”

Yuan Tangzhong glared at Yuan Zhe as he warned, “You can’t completely trust Mu Chenwu. Using him to fend against Yuan Xuan was one of our backups. You need to be careful about this, we can’t go that close with Mu Family!”

Yuan Zhe nodded and said in a low voice, “If it wasn’t for Wu Ze, Yuan Xuan would’ve died in the UK, and none of this messy stuff would’ve happened...”

“Hmph! How dare you bring these things up!” Yuan Tangzhong almost threw the teapot in fury.

“If you didn’t act without authorization, Yuan Xuan wouldn’t have hated the second family of Yuan so much! His previous target was just Mu Feng, your people attempted to assassinate Yuan Xuan and failed. Not to mention, he managed to find out that it was you who ordered it, what an absolute imbecile who is successful at doing nothing but mess up!”

Yuan Zhe did not dare to speak further, Secretary He commented, “Teacher Yuan, please don’t get angry, Young Master just did something wrong out of impatience...”

Yuan Tangzhong waved his hand and sighed. “Lil He, you’ve been with me for so many years, you should know how seriously this Nie Chao thing affects me! I’ve waited for so many years, but on the verge of the Capital City’s transfer order, this happens. If my ungrateful child has half the intelligence that you have, I wouldn’t need to deal with this stupid issue...”

“Teacher, don’t feel bad, there are plenty of chances in the future!” Lil He pushed her glasses and comforted him softly.

Yuan Tangzhong sighed and took a look at Yuan Zhe, who was behaving as if he was still being scolded, and said, “Don’t you go outside and make things worse in the near future. Stay at home and accompany that girl Wen Ya!”

...

After a few days of rest and recovery, it was time for the cast on Wen Ya’s legs to be taken off.

Yuan Tangshuo contacted the orthopedician on his payroll to take the cast off of her.

It was not Zheng Shuyan’s first time at Yuan Family Mansion. Led by the maid, he managed to arrive at the garden of Peace Mansion. Wen Ya was sitting on a wheelchair as she was reading a book underneath a tree’s shade.

After the cast was taken off, Wen Ya would be free to walk about with a crutch.

“Wen Ya!” Zheng Shuyan’s voice was so soft, it made the lady on the wheelchair drop her book in surprise.

“Zheng... Zheng Shuyan... Why are you here?”

Wen Ya’s tiny face was filled with fear and panic as she looked around anxiously.

The maid went to her and picked up the book. She said, “Mistress, this is the doctor that Third Master contacted to remove your cast!”

After Yuan Zhe pushed her off the stairs, he did not send her to the military hospital out of fear that Old Mistress would see through him. However, Yuan Tangshuo still sent someone to remove the cast.

Wen Ya was a little shaky, her eyes darted around quickly but avoided Zheng Shuyan.

She told the maid, “Send me to the front hall, let Doctor Zheng perform the procedure there!”

The maid was going to push the wheelchair, but Zheng Shuyan interrupted, “Allow me!”

The man was pushing the wheelchair, his body exuding a faint scent of body wash mixed with disinfectant, calming Wen Ya down.

Years ago, in the new year party in the UK, Wen Ya saw a boy whose eyes could speak. His body carried a faint smell of disinfectant. Smilingly, he offered his hand to Wen Ya, saying in an attractive melodic voice, “I’m Zheng Shuyan, second year in the medical school...”

Those hands were smooth and fair like white jade, as well as warm and dry!

Now, those same pair of hands were removing the cast on her legs, a seething hate escaping his usually calm and collected face.
