"When is he going to divorce Gu Nanyan?"
Zhan Lingfeng frowned at the out-of-context message his mother had abruptly sent him. What on earth did she mean? He dialed his mother's number, seeking clarity, but she didn't pick up. What's more, she sent him a sternly worded message on WeChat. "You must treat Nanyan well. If you dare to bully her, Yiran, Rui Rui, and I will leave the Zhan Family. We don't need you!"
Zhan Lingfeng was puzzled. His mother was acting strange, his sister was acting strange, everyone in the house was acting strange.
Unable to reach his mother, Zhan Lingfeng called Aunt Qian, the housekeeper. She picked up the call, her voice shaky, as if she had been crying.
A storm brewed in Zhan Lingfeng's eyes, his aura imposing. Something serious must have happened at home. Aunt Qian, who had been their housekeeper for many years, was always composed. He had never seen her lose her cool.
Zhan Lingfeng asked sharply, "Aunt Qian, what happened at home?"
"Something big!" Aunt Qian, clutching her chest, sounded distressed, "Miss Yiran and Young Master Rui Rui are crying, the old lady has teary eyes, everyone is heartbroken."
"Who bullied them? Tell me, I'll teach them a lesson."
Zhan Lingfeng was furious. Someone dared to bully his family? This was like poking a hornet's nest.
Just as Zhan Lingfeng was ready to take action, he heard Aunt Qian meekly say, "Master Zhan, it's you."
Zhan Lingfeng: "..."
"What the hell is going on? How did I bully them?"
Zhan Lingfeng was exhausted. He had been busy with acquisitions abroad and hadn't been home for almost half a month. He had been so busy that he barely had time to sleep, let alone bully them.
Aunt Qian carefully explained, "To be precise, you didn't bully the old lady or the third young lady. You bullied Mrs. Nanyan. The old lady thinks you've been unfair to her, so she's upset."
He was more wronged than Dou E! When did he bully Gu Nanyan? They hadn't even met face to face. Was he supposed to bully her from thousands of miles away with air bullets?
This was absurd!
Zhan Lingfeng darkened his face, "Tell me, how did I bully her?"
"Oh, there's a long list!"
Aunt Qian got excited and started counting, "The first major crime, you didn't show up on your wedding day, leaving the bride to get married alone."
Zhan Lingfeng was silent. He was indeed at fault for this. No matter how busy work was, he shouldn't have missed the wedding. He admitted this error.
Aunt Qian continued, "The second major crime, you don't care about your wife at all. Since your wedding, you haven't even called her once, let alone greeted her morning and night, reported your itinerary, or sent gifts. Your wife is really wronged."
"Yes." Zhan Yiran joined in, angrily shouting, "Brother, you're too much! How could you neglect your sister-in-law? You should pamper her, love her, treat her well, buy her gifts, coax her to sleep."
Zhan's Mother added, "Yes, and you should video call her every day, show concern for Nanyan."
Everyone added their two cents, making Zhan Lingfeng out to be the world's biggest scoundrel.
In the end, Zhan Lingfeng began to doubt himself, questioning if he was really that despicable.
However, Zhan Lingfeng is after all Zhan Lingfeng, he would not be easily fooled by others. Soon, he realized something was off.
The reactions of his mother and sister were strange.
What kind of spell did this Gu Nanyan cast on his mother and sister that they were so taken in by her?
Zhan Lingfeng furrowed his brow, forming an opinion of Gu Nanyan in his heart. He saw her as a manipulative woman, who played with people's hearts and used his mother and sister to pressure him.
This was too much!
This woman, she's no good.
Zhan Lingfeng originally did not want to pay any attention to Gu Nanyan, but her stirring up trouble in the Zhan family was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
Zhan Lingfeng decided to give her a warning.
He took out his phone and dialed Gu Nanyan's number.
However... no one answered. Gu Nanyan didn't pick up the phone at all.
Frowning, Zhan Lingfeng tried to add Gu Nanyan on WeChat, but was rejected. She didn't accept his request at all.
Zhan Lingfeng thought maybe Gu Nanyan didn't know who he was, so he tried to add her again, leaving a message: I am Zhan Lingfeng.
But, he was still rejected.
Zhan Lingfeng fell silent.
He suddenly understood Gu Nanyan's sinister intentions. She was setting a trap for him!
His mother asked him to video call Gu Nanyan every day, but Gu Nanyan didn't even add him. How was he supposed to make the call?
Should he call into the void?
Zhan Lingfeng, with a stern face, called his mother and told her that Gu Nanyan wouldn't add him. It wasn't that he didn't want to contact Gu Nanyan, but that Gu Nanyan wouldn't add him.
Zhan's mother was displeased: "You must not be sincere, not putting your heart into it. Otherwise, why wouldn't Nanyan add you? It's all your fault for hurting Nanyan's heart."
Zhan Lingfeng: "......"
He must have been adopted.
Zhan Lingfeng's face turned a dark shade of green, so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he swallowed his anger and again sent a friend request to Gu Nanyan, along with a message: "I really am Zhan Lingfeng."
Gu Nanyan still rejected his friend request, but this time, she replied to him: "I know, kneel and be at peace."
Kneel and be at peace?
Zhan Lingfeng wondered if he saw it wrong. He stared at his phone for a long time, his face growing darker and darker.
This Gu Nanyan actually told him to kneel and be at peace?
Did she think she was a princess?
With a storm brewing in his eyes and a sharp aura surrounding him, Zhan Lingfeng sent another friend request and challenged: "Why won't you add me? Feeling bold?"
Zhan Lingfeng didn't understand why Gu Nanyan wouldn't add him. Was she playing hard to get?
A moment later, Gu Nanyan replied: "I don't want to be your punching bag.
You were just venting your anger on your mother and sister, and now you're undoubtedly holding a belly full of anger. You're hastily adding me, clearly wanting to vent your anger on me.
The mighty Zhan, unable to deal with his own mother and sister, but wanting to vent his anger on his innocent wife. Despicable and shameless.
Scum!"
Zhan Lingfeng was completely taken aback, staring blankly at this message for a long time, unable to gather his thoughts. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to explain.
After Gu Nanyan sent that message, she accepted Zhan Lingfeng's friend request on WeChat.
She continued to send WeChat messages: "Now, I've added you, what does Master Zhan want to say to me?
Are you questioning what I'm up to, tricking your mother and younger sister to side with me?
Or are you rebuking me for being cunning, stirring up trouble in the Zhan Family?
Master Zhan, if you want to win your mother's favor, find a way to respect and please her. If you want your sister's respect, act like an elder brother should.
Instead of acting like a madman, venting your frustrations and anger on me.
I am your wife, not your punching bag, we are equals. If you can't respect me, then let's get a divorce.
The marriage contract was set by the elders, it's not me, Gu Nanyan, clinging to you, insisting on marrying!
Who gave that lousy man face, daring to vent his anger on me?
It's just that Zhan Lingfeng isn't here in front of me, otherwise Gu Nanyan will definitely make him understand why the flowers are so red.
If she doesn't beat him until he's completely submissive, it would be a disgrace to her name as the Great Qi Warrior!"
