Chapter 188: I am your sister-in-law
Wen Zhi held up the cup of tea, “We’ve already separated.”
Mu Yanzhou’s hand paused as he set down the teapot.
At the sa ti, Gu Rang’s gaze also shifted over.
Nian Xun was the calst since he was an outsider in this matter.
“That’s good.” Mu Yanzhou withdrew his hand, his expression becoming much more serene, “Then get ready, we’ll head to Haimarket in three days.”
Wen Zhi sipped her tea, her tongue tasting sowhat bitter.
Although she wasn’t really going to Haimarket, she still wanted to know one thing.
She suddenly turned her head and asked, “How long do you plan to banish
to Haimarket this ti?”
She used the word ‘banish.’
Because with her family situation, being sent anywhere by her father was equivalent to banishnt.
Mu Yanzhou naturally didn’t explain much, only saying, “It depends on you. Once you’ve learned all you can from Nian Xun, you can return.”
Wen Zhi nodded, “I understand.”
Then she stood up, “I have other matters, I need to go.”
Mu Yanzhou called out to her, “Zhizhi.”
Wen Zhi paused but did not turn around.
Mu Yanzhou slowly stood up, he reached out and gently grasped Wen Zhi’s arm, pulling her back slightly.
Wen Zhi was unwilling to cooperate, her body slightly stiff, until Mu Yanzhou pulled her into his arms and gently held her, saying, “Take care of yourself out there.”
Wen Zhi closed her eyes tightly, “I know.”
Mu Yanzhou, “You don’t need to contact .”
Wen Zhi suddenly let out a light laugh, her tone sowhat mocking, “You’re thinking too much. I definitely won’t contact you.”
Mu Yanzhou gently patted Wen Zhi’s back.
When Wen Zhi left, Gu Rang left with her.
Mu Yanzhou watched in that direction for a long, long ti.
Not until Nian Xun stood beside him and said, “Don’t worry, Yanzhou. I’ll take good care of her in Haimarket.”
When Mu Yanzhou spoke again, his tone had deepened, “I’m only entrusting my daughter to you temporarily for care. If I find out you have ulterior motives, you’ll be skinned.”
Nian Xun snorted lightly, “Is that necessary?”
“Although I won’t be in Haimarket, I’ll arrange many eyes to watch,” Mu Yanzhou glanced sideways at Nian Xun, “I’ve said my piece, whether you believe it or not is your problem.”
Nian Xun, “…”

Wen Zhi got back into Gu Rang’s car, “Take
back to the Shang family’s old mansion.”
Gu Rang didn’t want to drive, so he called a driver, then leaned back in the rear seat, “Aren’t you going out with Chong Wanyin tomorrow?”
Wen Zhi watched Gu Rang guardedly, “What are you planning?”
“What can I do.” Gu Rang gave a bitter smile, “Can’t you trust
completely by now?”
Wen Zhi, “I don’t trust anyone.”
Gu Rang, “…”
The car started, heading towards the Shang family’s old mansion.
Half an hour later, Wen Zhi arrived at the Shang family’s place. Gu Rang didn’t enter, only reminding Wen Zhi, “If you need my help tomorrow, just call .”
Wen Zhi nodded.
After Gu Rang left, Wen Zhi prepared to et Chong Wanyin to confirm the arrangents for the next day.
Just as she arrived outside Chong Wanyin’s courtyard, she encountered Shang Jing, whom she hadn’t seen for days. She intended to avoid him and turn away, but Shang Jing imdiately called out to her—
“Wen Zhi! You’re avoiding
again!”
Wen Zhi stood still, not moving until Shang Jing approached and put his hand on her shoulder, trying to turn her around.
At that mont, Chong Wanyin’s voice ca through, “Shang Jing, do not be impolite to Zhizhi.”
Shang Jing completely ignored Chong Wanyin’s reminder, insistently turning Wen Zhi around, “What are you hiding from, every ti you see
you hide, am I that frightening?”
Wen Zhi confronted Shang Jing’s troubled gaze and replied coolly, “Avoiding suspicion.”
Shang Jing incredulously, “What did you say?”
Wen Zhi, unchanging in expression, said, “After all, I’m your future sister-in-law, you should respect .”
