Wu Chenjin said, “I’ll take you there.”

Song Nuanyi said, “No need. You stay here and accompany Grandma. I’ll go and touch up my makeup while I’m at it. It’s not good to leave Grandma alone for such a long time.”

When Grandma heard that, she said happily, “You’re still warm and thoughtful, unlike this kid who only has eyes for his wife.”

Grandma deliberately teased Wu Chenjin and pretended to be angry.

Wu Chenjin had no choice but to coax Grandma and let Song Nuanyi go alone.

She took the bag with the makeup in it and walked through the door with the click of her high heels. She kept her speed steady and walked past Wu Chaotian’s room. The scarf on the side of the bag just fell off.

Song Nuanyi did not look down and walked toward the bathroom at a moderate pace.

The sink was golden and the woman in the mirror was beautiful. She took out a lipstick and gently wiped it on her soft lips. A figure appeared in the mirror.

Wu Chaotian approached her from behind and closed the bathroom door with a hook of his foot.

Song Nuanyi acted as if she did not see him and continued to put on lipstick. She only turned her head lazily and disdainfully when the bright red color was perfectly displayed under the light.

“Young Master Wu, what are you doing here? Be careful not to be seen.”

She gently turned on the tap, and the water flowed gently past her fingertips. She washed her hands elegantly. She said, “If Wu Chenjin sees you, he will at least give you a beating. If Old Master Wu sees you, he will also give you a lecture. If you can’t get anything out of this, why are you here?”

Wu Chaotian held the silk scarf that had fallen at his door and slowly approached Song Nuanyi’s body. He revealed a playful smile when he trapped her between his arms and the sink.

Such a sinister and cunning Wu Chenjin was completely different from the man at the dinner table just now.

It seemed that Wu Chaotian did not have everything he wanted in the Wu family. Otherwise, he would not have pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger.

He lowered his voice and whispered into Song Nuanyi’s ear, “Do you dare to say that you did not leave this silk scarf at my door on purpose?”

The silk scarf scratched Song Nuanyi’s side of her neck and itched.

She chuckled. “Yeah, I did it on purpose. Otherwise, why would I let you follow me here?”

Wu Chaotian had been paying attention to her ever since she arrived. Although no one noticed it, only the two of them knew that each other was giving each other glances.

“What exactly are you doing?” Wu Chaotian asked. “Aren’t you afraid that Wu Chenjin will find out?”

Song Nuanyi pushed him away and picked up her bag from the sink. “I want you to do something for me. After the deed is done, I can promise to dump Wu Chenjin.”

She leaned close to Wu Chaotian’s ear and whispered, “I’ll be your girlfriend.”

Song Nuanyi did not stay over at the Wu family residence, and Wu Chenjin did not want to stay at the house for too long. The two of them chatted with Grandma for a while before leaving together.

…

According to the information sent by Assistant Chen, the woman with the Red Mole in Wu Chaotian’s villa was An Yi. Her twin brother was An Quan. The one who had appeared at Wu Zifei’s death was her brother An Quan.

However, from the beginning to the end, the only person who appeared in everyone’s field of vision was the sister, An Yi. Assistant Chen had pulled a lot of strings, but he still could not find An Quan.

Song Nuanyi decided to start with Wu Chaotian. Only by getting close to him would she have a chance to learn the truth of the matter and find the real culprit who hit her with a car before the press conference, and Wu Zifei in front of the company.

That day in the bathroom, Song Nuanyi sent Wu Chaotian a document about the joint acquisition of the Xue family’s derivative project.

She needed Wu Chaotian to find a way to influence the financing of the Xue family’s new project and use financial leverage to destroy the stock market. As long as the Xue family’s stock was in trouble for three days, Song Nuanyi had a chance to eat up half of the Xue family’s derivative projects.

Although the profits of the derivative projects were far from the main business, these projects were more or less linked to the main business. Eventually, they would affect the foundation in a variety of ways.

If Wu Chaotian interfered in this matter, it would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Xue family. Once the Xue family found out the truth behind it, the long-term cooperation between the two families would definitely collapse.

The three powers in the Capital were mutually restricting. The various aristocratic families were originally worried about the marriage between the Wu and Xue families. Many of them had already made the first move and reached an agreement with the Ning family.

Now, they took the initiative to destroy the relationship with the Xue family. If they swallowed the Xue family in one fell swoop, the Wu family would instantly become the number one family in the country and become a noble family. However, if they failed, the Wu family’s treacherous actions might cause them to be isolated and helpless from then on.

This matter was too risky and had exceeded his imagination. It was not a matter of whether Song Nuanyi wanted to become his girlfriend at all, but it was related to the entire family.
