Chapter 628: Seems to Be Wary of Something
One night passed.
The next morning, Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi bought premium gifts and went to the Zhang Family together.
Standing at the Zhang Family's gate, Lin Wanxi fell into a brief daze.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
Lin Wanxi gave a bitter smile, "Although this is my grandfather's house, I've only been here twice."
"I was very young then, and came with my mom. We weren't welcomed by my grandfather and were directly chased out."
"The second time was when my grandmother passed away. I was in my teens then and came with my parents to attend the funeral."
Standing at the gate of my grandfather's house, I felt extremely unfamiliar, no affection whatsoever.
It's a kind of sadness!
Chen Xuan understood Lin Wanxi's feelings and softly said, "If you don't want to see them, we can turn around and leave now. There's no need to force yourself."
Lin Wanxi shook her head, "No, since we're here, we ought to go in for a visit."
"Let's not dwell on visiting grandfather; what if we find some clues? We can't just give up!"
"Let's go. We'll decide based on the situation."
Chen Xuan nodded, said no more, and followed Lin Wanxi into the Zhang Family's gate.
Two servants were sweeping the yard. Seeing them enter, they hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, "What's your business at the Zhang Family?"
"My name is Lin Wanxi, I'm here to visit my grandfather," Lin Wanxi said softly.
The faces of the two servants immediately changed slightly, "Ah, it's Miss Lin! Please wait, I'll report to the patriarch."
Inside the main hall, Zhang Dehou was discussing the future direction of the Zhang Family with his son Zhang Jun, as the company's current operation was facing issues.
"Patriarch, your granddaughter Miss Lin Wanxi has arrived and is at the yard gate," the servant reported respectfully.
Oh?
Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun froze for a moment, not expecting Lin Wanxi to suddenly visit.
"Dad, this is a good opportunity!"
Zhang Jun's eyes were eager, "Recently, the health products launched by New Moon Company are selling very well on the market."
"You've been thinking about how to mend relations with my elder sister's family and gain considerable benefits! This has come knocking at our door."
Zhang Dehou nodded with a smile, "You're right, but we must stay calm and not let her sense anything unusual."
"Let her come to the main hall to see me."
The servant exited the main hall, and soon Chen Xuan followed Lin Wanxi into the main hall.
"Grandfather, I've come to visit you."
"Uncle, you're here too!"
Lin Wanxi gave a slight bow and placed the gifts aside.
Zhang Dehou deliberately put on a stern face, "Why did you suddenly think of visiting the Zhang Family? Did your mom send you?"
Lin Wanxi gave a dry laugh, "Grandfather, I'm coming to Jiangnan City for development, naturally, I ought to visit you."
"No matter who was right or wrong in the past, my mom is still your biological daughter. I hope grandfather doesn't hold grudges anymore."
Hearing this, Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun exchanged a glance, a glint flashing between them.
Coming to Jiangnan City for development is like delivering food directly to the Zhang Family's door!
Zhang Jun immediately played the good guy, "Wanxi, please sit down. Your grandfather had let go of that matter long ago."
"Oh, and this handsome young man is..."
"Uncle, this is my husband Chen Xuan," Lin Wanxi introduced with a smile.
Chen Xuan gave Zhang Jun a slight smile, unsure of how to address him.
Based on his father Chen Tiangong's side, he should call Zhang Jun "Uncle."
But from his wife Lin Wanxi's side, he has to call him "Uncle."
Zhang Jun stared at Chen Xuan, "Why do you look somewhat familiar? Are you also called Chen Xuan?"
"Where's your hometown? What's your father's name?"
Chen Xuan knew there was no hiding this, nor was there any need to, "Hello Zhang Uncle, my father is Chen Tiangong."
Whew!
Zhang Jun looked surprised, "I thought you looked so familiar, you're indeed Chen Tiangong's son."
"Just over ten years, and you've grown this much! And you've become married to my niece?"
Chen Xuan gave a dry laugh, actively asking, "How's your daughter Zhang Yan nowadays?"
"You still remember to ask about my daughter Zhang Yan!" Zhang Jun sneered, "But that's fine. The so-called childhood betrothal was merely a verbal agreement."
"Since you've ended up with Wanxi, that matter can be considered void."
Chen Xuan secretly let out a sigh of relief; voiding it was for the best.
He chose to ignore the disdain hidden in Zhang Jun's eyes, not caring at all.
"Zhang Uncle, do you know the inside story about my parents' murder?" Chen Xuan asked.
"I don't know, and you shouldn't ask me." Zhang Jun waved his hand directly.
His refusal was very straightforward!
However, Chen Xuan still sensed something amiss; Zhang Jun seemed to be afraid of something and was reluctant to discuss the matter.
It means Zhang Jun knows the inside story of his parents' murder...
