Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1066: Three Months Have Passed (3)

But what he didn’t expect was that Zhong Qiaohui, after leaving, actually went straight back to the Zhong Family.

That night, Zhan Dapeng, along with Lao Ba Jia Baomo, was warming his hands in the room while telling him the news: "What kind of tantrum did you throw today? No matter what, she’s a woman. Why did you have to speak so harshly?"

Zhang Sanfeng didn’t understand his words at first and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I just heard the news from my sister-in-law. Of course, my sister-in-law didn’t say it herself. Miss Zhong went back to the Zhong Family, saying the elders had long called her back. My sister-in-law knows about her fiancé, and recently the Zhong Family indeed has been urging her to get married, so she couldn’t stop her." Zhan Dapeng spoke, slightly furrowing his brows.

This lessened Gu Nuan’s capable assistant by quite a bit.

No matter how good Zhong Qiaohui was, she was undeniably someone reliable and trustworthy.

Zhang Sanfeng didn’t expect her to be so impulsive and said, "I’m causing trouble for my sister-in-law."

Worrying he’d blame himself, Zhan Dapeng patted his shoulder: "My sister-in-law didn’t say that or think that way. She just fears you two had a fight and hurt each other’s feelings."

What kind of feelings could there be between them?

Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

"If you can’t be lovers, you can be friends. Besides, if she’s going to be your brother’s wife in the future, she’ll be family to you too."

Zhan Dapeng’s words unintentionally hit the nail on the head.

Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t imagine ever calling her sister-in-law, couldn’t accept it!

When such feelings unexpectedly came clearly to his mind, he was truly stunned.

Have I cared about her this much?

The weather truly was getting colder, with winter nearing.

The housekeeper had to close the doors and windows at night, not just because the master of the house was physically weaker and prone to catching colds, but because the temperature really was dropping.

Zhan Dapeng and Lao Ba each took a chair and sat.

The three surrounded the heater in the middle, talking.

"Today, I went to the hospital with Lao Liu," Zhan Dapeng said in a low voice.

"Mingxin?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"Yes. Because Lao Liu thinks that the matter concerning Second Brother must be investigated from the source to ensure nothing falls through."

The fear is that there might be others lurking unnoticed in the dark, ready to suddenly reappear and catch them off guard. The most important reason being, aside from Xiao Yebai’s coma, that Gu Nuan’s pregnancy becomes increasingly risky as things progress.

Because now all sorts of rumors are spreading out, nobody knows who started them, but unsurprisingly, they’re all aimed at Gu Nuan.

Zhan Dapeng pointed directly at Lao Ba: "He’s undercover in my sister-in-law’s company, most familiar with Changda’s current situation."

Jia Baomo nodded: "Although I’m in a subsidiary, I’ve always been connected with Changda Real Estate Group. The troubles over there have already affected us here. Many of our managers, after all, were transferred from the real estate side back then when we first became independent. Due to such historical reasons, our people here and theirs have constantly intertwined relationships, including interest transmission chains."

"What’s the biggest problem now? What’s my sister-in-law’s biggest obstacle within the company?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"The main issue is my sister-in-law wanting to strip those people of their positions in the original company, effectively taking the food out of their mouths. Anyone would certainly be unwilling. The reason my sister-in-law insists on doing this is simple. These veterans will surely rely on their seniority to raise various opposing opinions in the company, obstructing policy makers’ plans, and it’s not just about this reform. It’ll happen in the future too. So, my sister-in-law believes in striking first to gain the upper hand."
