My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 699 699: Three Paths Converge Toward the City

After sending off Wang Yunping, Chen Xuan went back inside, lit a cigarette, "Looks like I won't be able to return for a while."

He took out his phone and dialed Lin Wanxi's number, "Wanxi, how are things at the company? Has the Guo Family been causing you trouble?"

"It's okay, the Guo Family hasn't taken any drastic actions. I've seen through their intentions; they want to pressure New Moon Company and take the opportunity to acquire it, expanding the Guo Family's business."

Lin Wanxi chuckled softly, "Don't worry about me, I can handle it. How are things on your end?"

"Well, I've found a suitable place. I originally planned to come back tomorrow, but then a little issue came up."

Chen Xuan briefly explained, "Since it came up, I can't just stand by and watch."

"So, I might be delayed for a day or two, coming back later."

Lin Wanxi, very understanding, fully agreed, "There's no need to rush back, just take your time and handle things over there."

"I also deeply sympathize with Widow Liu's situation. If no one steps up to speak for her, she might be driven to despair. You're making the right choice; I support you!"

Chen Xuan felt very comforted, "Great, with your support, I'm even more confident to take care of this matter."

"Let's leave it at that for now; I'll finish handling things here as soon as possible and return."

After ending the call with Lin Wanxi, Chen Xuan looked at Yang Leshan and Xiao Yiyi, "You two can go back first; I'll stay to deal with Widow Liu's situation."

Yang Leshan and Xiao Yiyi didn't want to leave.

"Let Xiao Yiyi go back; she won't be of any use here," Yang Leshan said softly.

"Why?" Xiao Yiyi instantly glared at Yang Leshan, "You think you'll be of use staying here? That's funny!"

Yang Leshan sneered contemptuously, "I'm here representing the company to sign agreements, and I have a duty to guide the establishment of their cooperative."

"So, my staying here is more useful than yours, got it?"

Chen Xuan grinned awkwardly, realizing he hadn't needed to say that.

"You two stop quarreling; stay if you want."

"I have to leave for a few days; you two wait here for my return."

Chen Xuan slowly stood up.

"Brother Xuan, I'll come with you,"

Xiao Yiyi volunteered, "Yang Leshan is staying for work, and I have nothing to do, so I'll go with you to investigate this matter."

After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Yang Leshan, "That's what you said earlier, I'm useless staying here, and you're here for work."

"So don't make a fuss. Otherwise, you'll be neglecting your duties and not being responsible for your work."

What the hell...

Yang Leshan looked furious, not expecting Xiao Yiyi was waiting for her with a retort.

Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled inwardly, Xiao Yiyi truly is a clever trickster, quick on her feet.

In this regard, Yang Leshan was a bit lacking, seeming to carry the label of "big chest, no brain" for life.

To avoid favoritism and deepening their conflict, Chen Xuan directly said, "Neither of you should follow, I'm going to pick a fight, how could I protect your safety if things get physical?"

"Stay here, don't argue! I'm leaving!"

Chen Xuan resolutely left alone.

"Dumbfounded, aren't you?" Yang Leshan sneered coldly, "Now no one's following him, fighting with me didn't get you anything."

"You can play at home by yourself; I'm going to check out the cooperative to see how the establishment is going, don't have time to entertain you."

Throwing out a parting remark, Yang Leshan walked out.

Xiao Yiyi gave a soft snort, her eyes rolling, "Perfect, I'll take this opportunity to secretly follow."

In the neighboring yard.

Wang Yunping shook his head helplessly, "Chen Xuan is just too warm-hearted, I tried to persuade him just now, but he's determined to help Widow Liu."

"Really worried he'll provoke Boss Zhao and endanger his life!"

Old man Wang sighed lightly, "Chen Xuan really is a good person, enthusiastically helping our family deal with Li Hu and his people, and now he's helping Widow Liu so warmly."

"Let's hope that good people have good outcomes, and that nothing happens, thank goodness."

The father and son both felt worried for Chen Xuan, doubting his ability as an outsider to challenge Boss Zhao.

Even though they knew Chen Xuan was quite skilled, the old saying goes, strong dragons can't suppress local snakes!

Boss Zhao has considerable influence in Guikang City, unlike minor figures like Li Hu, who are easily chased away and won't dare cause trouble again.

Chen Xuan left the small village and headed for the city, with Xiao Yiyi quietly trailing behind.

She wasn't in a hurry to show herself; she planned to greet Chen Xuan after reaching the city.

Once the grain is cooked, Chen Xuan would have no choice but to accept her presence, unable to send her back.

Meanwhile, Yang Leshan wasn't idle either, she didn't go to the work site, just seeking an excuse to deceive Xiao Yiyi and secretly follow along.

Chen Xuan, Xiao Yiyi, and Yang Leshan formed three lines converging towards the city.

Just waiting for the scene when they meet each other...
