My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 592: He Lan Leans In for a Slap

Facing He Lan's inquiry, Chen Xuan didn't plan to deny it.

Last night, having Jin Jiu fake the scene was merely to spare Yang Leshan's family from added troubles, but it didn't mean he was afraid to admit it.

"That's right, Shen Zihao was killed by me." Chen Xuan's expression remained calm as he nodded slightly.

Yang Leshan didn't show much change in expression, because she had already guessed it.

Not only did she not blame Chen Xuan, she actually felt very relieved.

That beast deserved to be hacked to a thousand pieces; death was not enough punishment!

He Lan was agitated, "Chen Xuan, your actions are far too impulsive and reckless!"

"Not to mention the question of whether it's right to kill, who is Shen Zihao that you could just execute him?"

"I think there's nothing wrong with it, after all, he's already dead." Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.

"You... you can still laugh!" He Lan was furious, "Who gave you the right to kill Shen Zihao? You're really bold!"

Listening to He Lan's endless accusations, Chen Xuan was somewhat irritated, feeling that He Lan was even more unreasonable than Xiao Yiyi's mother, Zhang Hui.

At least, Zhang Hui was influenced by her elder sister Zhang Lan, and she initially disliked him.

Nevertheless, when he helped out, her doubts at most existed without the baseless accusations, and certainly not the wanton verbal abuse like He Lan.

He certainly wouldn't spoil He Lan!

"Aunt He, that guy tried to assassinate me, almost taking my life. Shouldn't I seek revenge?"

"He brought disaster upon your family and treated Leshan as a toy to abuse! Is it wrong to kill him out of anger?"

Chen Xuan coldly retorted.

Yang Leshan hurried to soothe Chen Xuan and immediately said, "Mom, you're overreacting and can't tell right from wrong."

"Chen Xuan is helping us, Shen Zihao is the real bastard who deserved to die! You need to get this straight!"

He Lan retorted angrily, "How can I not tell right from wrong? Chen Xuan's actions are too reckless!"

"He killed Shen Zihao last night, it will surely anger the Shen Family! If the Shen Family retaliates against us... will we have any way out?"

"Is he helping us or implicating the whole family?"

At that moment, Yang Xingxiu returned from outside.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, he quietly asked, "What's going on?"

"What's going on? Chen Xuan has again landed our family in big trouble!"

"He killed Shen Zihao last night, so what should we do now? There's no way out!"

He Lan said angrily, feeling incredibly anxious inside.

Yang Xingxiu looked stunned and shook his head with a smile, "Who told you it was Chen Xuan? You're panicking with just a little rumor."

Hmm?

He Lan and Yang Leshan both looked at Yang Xingxiu, puzzled by his words.

"What do you mean, Shen Zihao's death... Could there be more to it, and it wasn't Chen Xuan who killed him?" He Lan quickly asked.

Yang Xingxiu nodded with a smile, "The information I got is that Shen Zihao's follower Wang Bin accidentally killed him and fled to escape punishment."

"As for the motive, it's likely Shen Zihao acted out in shame and took it out on Wang Bin, who accidentally killed him and fled the scene."

"It has nothing to do with Chen Xuan, not related at all."

Upon hearing this, He Lan immediately turned to look at Chen Xuan, her anger bubbling again, "Well, Chen Xuan, you just made up lies and fooled us."

"Did you think by saying that I would think more highly of you? I despise you even more!"

Chen Xuan shook his head, already lazy to argue with He Lan, as he also disliked repeating explanations.

Whether she believes it or not is up to her!

Yang Leshan was much clearer about the inside story than her parents and immediately figured out the key point.

"Chen Xuan, did you fake the evidence? You not only avenged Shen Zihao but also ensured my family wouldn't be implicated."

"You really thought it through!"

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, as long as Yang Leshan understood him, that was enough.

He Lan secretly pursed her lips, thinking her daughter was just giving Chen Xuan a way out, not believing it at all.

But she also breathed a little easier, as long as Shen Zihao's death wasn't related to their family, the Shen Family might not retaliate against them.

But the Shen Family still took action!

In the afternoon, they received news from the company side that the Shen Family started suppressing Yang Xingxiu's company, instantly sending the company on the verge of recovery back into crisis.

"Alas, the Shen Family has finally taken action against us."

Yang Xingxiu sighed repeatedly, "Now, the only path in front of us is bankruptcy and closure."

He Lan was equally anxious, clearing the ten billion debt issue hadn't truly solved the company's crisis.

With the Shen Family's suppression, there's only one way — death.

"Chen Xuan, weren't you claiming to help our family weather the storm?"

"Now is your time to show what you're really made of; let's see if you have the real skills or if you're just bragging!"

He Lan stared at Chen Xuan, projecting all her pressure onto him in desperation.

Chen Xuan didn't mind, as his main purpose here was to help Yang Leshan with her family's issues, ensuring she had no future worries.

But with He Lan's attitude, he wouldn't act easily; conditions had to be discussed first.

"Aunt, if that's the way you talk, then we should negotiate properly."

"If I manage to solve the company crisis, what promise will you fulfill?"

Chen Xuan smiled playfully, implying his mother-in-law-to-be should willingly offer her face for him to slap.

After all, He Lan was asking for it!

He Lan snorted, "If you really can help our family solve the crisis, I won't only agree to give my daughter Shanshan to you but also apologize to you in person."

"Alright, it's a deal!" Chen Xuan agreed promptly, "Uncle Yang, what's your opinion?"
