My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 746 746: Yet Another Zhao Family Appears

"Mr. Chen, I know nothing about your parents' affairs back then."

"At the time, I sent people to the Chen Family to search for R&D documents, but that was just following the trend, going along with several other families."

Zhu Jianming looked genuinely uneasy, "What I say is absolutely true, please, Mr. Chen, discern wisely."

Chen Xuan waved slightly, "There's no need to panic. My inquiry today is simply to understand the truth of the past, not to hold you accountable."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Chen Xuan would come to hold him accountable, which would be detrimental to the Zhu Family.

"Mr. Chen, as far as I know, besides my Zhu Family, both the Chang Family and the Zhao Family also visited the Chen Family back then, along with a few third-tier families."

Zhu Jianming said cautiously.

Oh?

Chen Xuan was a bit surprised, another second-tier family, the Zhao Family, emerged.

From what he had learned before, apart from those third-tier families, only the Chang Family remained.

Now, through Zhu Jianming's account, he learned that the Zhao Family had also visited the Chen Family.

"Did the Zhao Family have any personal grievances with my parents?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I suppose not," Zhu Jianming hesitated, "I haven't heard of anything like that, but of course, I'm not entirely certain about any personal grievances."

"But one thing I can be sure of is that the Zhao Family did search your home for documents back then."

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, "Why haven't I heard any of the other patriarchs mention this? How can you be so sure?"

He had to clarify; if Zhu Jianming bore a grudge against the Zhao Family and was trying to use him to deal with them, he would be unwittingly used by Zhu Jianming.

He wouldn't do something so foolish.

Zhu Jianming laughed dryly, "Mr. Chen, you may not know, but those families visited the Chen Family separately back then."

"My Zhu Family and the Chang Family went on almost the same day, but we didn't gain much. As far as I know, the Chang Family didn't gain much either."

"But I was unwilling to give up, believing that your father's R&D documents must have been hidden. Later, I sent people again, and it was during that time that I saw the Zhao Family also sending people."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Besides this, what other clues have you learned?"

Zhu Jianming's expression shifted, "It seems that the Maoyuan Company had some personal grievance with your parents. According to circulating rumors, the Maoyuan Company wanted to purchase a certain technology patent but was refused by your parents, leading to an unpleasant fallout between both sides."

Chen Xuan did not respond; he had already known about this matter beforehand.

Now, through Zhu Jianming's words, it indirectly confirmed that the Maoyuan Company had the greatest suspicion.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today."

Chen Xuan stood up, "Make sure to keep our conversation today confidential."

"If I find out that you've dared to leak my whereabouts, your Zhu Family will suffer dearly."

Zhu Jianming hurriedly bowed and promised, "Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, I will remain tight-lipped and will not divulge a single word."

"Hmm." Chen Xuan nodded slightly and walked out.

Luo Yuanming followed closely behind, leaving with Chen Xuan.

Zhu Jianming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called his son, Zhu Feng, in to warn him, "You must not leak anything about today, understand?"

"Also, stop associating with that girl from the Zhang Family. The Zhang Family is courting disaster; we should not get involved."

"Okay, Dad, I know what to do." Zhu Feng looked sorrowful; today had greatly impacted him.

It completely overturned his previous perceptions.

Especially seeing Luo Yuanming being so respectful to Chen Xuan, it had given him quite a scare.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan didn't hold it against him, and no mishap occurred.

After Chen Xuan and Luo Yuanming left, Zhang Yan came over shortly thereafter.

She had come specifically to comfort Zhu Feng and to maintain their good relations.

No need for their feelings to be hurt due to losing in this stock market battle.

Upon learning that Zhang Yan came to find him, Zhu Feng became indignant.

He instructed people to block Zhang Yan at the door, not allowing her to enter the Zhu Family residence, indicating a complete severing of ties.

Zhu Feng personally arrived at the entrance, "Zhang Yang, how dare you come see me!"

"Ah Feng, what's wrong with you? Why are you treating me like this?" Zhang Yan was taken aback.

Smack!

Zhu Feng slapped Zhang Yan across the face, "You bitch, listen well, don't come looking for me again!"

"I don't want to see you ever again! Get lost!"

With that, Zhu Feng turned and walked back into the Zhu Family home, closing the door.

Zhang Yan not only encountered a closed door but also received a slap, feeling very aggrieved inside.

But she couldn't figure out why Zhu Feng suddenly turned hostile; she couldn't make sense of it.

This way, she and Zhu Feng were completely done.

She would never have the chance to marry into the Zhu Family as the young mistress of a second-tier family.

She returned to the Zhang Family with a sullen face, reporting the incident to her father and grandfather, seeking their advice...
