Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 397 - 398: Find Time to Celebrate for Xu Ying and Zhang Wu

Chapter 397: Chapter 398: Find Time to Celebrate for Xu Ying and Zhang Wu

Sun Yan was brimming with anger, but hearing these words, her wrath subsided considerably. She looked at Zhang Yanlin with a flirtatiously annoyed smile, "You always know what to say.

I only arranged for Huimin to marry Zhiguo because I wanted to see you."

Her tone shifted abruptly, "What do you mean by getting Huimin to marry Zhang Wu? What were you just discussing with Zhang Guoyao?"

Sun Yan’s eyes were full of shrewdness; of course she wanted her daughter to marry Zhang Wu, but what could she do if he was unwilling?

Zhang Yanlin pulled Sun Yan into his arms, his eyes glimmering, "If I can get Huimin to marry Zhang Wu, how do you plan to repay me?"

Though Sun Yan was somewhat older, her charm had not faded in the slightest. She giggled shyly and fell into Zhang Yanlin’s embrace.

Zhang Yanlin looked down at the woman in his arms with a barely detectable sneer flickering across his lips. His voice soon rose gently, "Yanzi, I’ve heard from Yuhua that you have a letter in your possession?

Was it the one Yuhua wrote to the midwife?"

At these words, Sun Yan’s face changed instantly. She swiftly extracted herself from Zhang Yanlin’s embrace and said emotionlessly, "Zhang Yanlin, are you here to be a mediator?"

Zhang Yanlin kept smiling, his expression unchanged. He looked seriously at Sun Yan, his hands on her shoulders, and said with a laugh, "Me, a mediator?

It was Zhang Yuhua who mentioned it to me. She wanted me to ask you for the letter.

Ah, who would have thought she could be so heartless back in the day? Just to marry me, she schemed and harmed Yue Lian.

But Yue Lian is long gone, and Yuhua has borne me a son, I can’t just abandon her now.

Yanzi, you understand me. Can you give me that letter? Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Huimin’s situation.

You’ve seen how Zhang Guoyao and I are old classmates; we still share a bond. I’m sure I can make Zhang Wu marry her."

Seeing this, Sun Yan’s face wore a faint smile as she looked up at Zhang Yanlin, "I could give you the letter for your sake, but not now.

Who knows if you’ll still help me after getting the letter?"

Zhang Yanlin chuckled sadly, "Yanzi, do you really see me as so heartless?

If Yuhua hadn’t interfered back then, I definitely would have married you. I’ve always felt guilty about you over the years and would never deceive you."

"The letter isn’t with me; I gave it to my husband," Sun Yan stated bluntly.

Zhang Yanlin’s face darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, "Whatever I promised you, I definitely can do it. Keep the letter safe for me."

Sun Yan nodded, her face full of curiosity, "How do you plan to get Huimin and Zhang Wu together?

I’ve heard that Zhang Wu has a girlfriend from school—a village girl—and for her sake, he even raised his hand to my daughter."

Mentioning this filled Sun Yan with rage.

If it weren’t for that girl, her daughter wouldn’t have been expelled.

She had finally gotten into a top university, only to be suspended. It was utterly embarrassing.

Zhang Yanlin smirked, "Don’t worry about it. One of these days, set up a time, and bring your daughter along with my eldest son, and we’ll all have dinner with the Zhang Guoyao family.

Have a few drinks, and won’t everything naturally fall into place?"

Sun Yan suddenly understood him and inwardly cursed him a coward.

Zhang Yanlin, seeing a smile on Sun Yan’s face, pecked her cheek, glanced at the time, and said, "I can’t stay and talk, I have to rush back now."

"Zhang Wu and my eldest son’s wife are involved in an international diplomacy translation. When they come back, I’ll celebrate for them, and we’ll all have dinner together."

Sun Yan nodded.

Huo Chen, standing in a far corner, listened to their conversation, his eyes ablaze with fury. The moment Zhang Yanlin came running over, he swiftly stepped aside.

"Huo Chen?" Zhang Yanlin ran to the front of the car and, not seeing Huo Chen in the driver’s seat, a strong sense of panic flashed through his eyes.

Xu Ying, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said indifferently, "He got out to use the restroom. Didn’t you run into him?"

Zhang Yanlin’s heart jumped to his throat, and he shook his head in a panic.

Xu Ying clearly saw this and held back a smile, waiting for Huo Chen.

Huo Chen returned quickly, just as Zhang Yanlin had settled back into the car.

As soon as he returned, Xu Ying said, "You didn’t run into Dad when you went to the restroom just now?"

Huo Chen paused, then shook his head.

Zhang Yanlin forced a wry smile, "Maybe we went to different restrooms."

Huo Chen drove home, and by the time they arrived, it was already night.

Zhang Yuhua had been sitting in the courtyard waiting for Zhang Yanlin.

Since her son had returned, she interrogated him about his relationship with Zhang Yanlin. She was furious to personally hear from her son what the man had said—that it was her who took advantage of Zhang Yanlin while he was drunk and crawled into his bed.

Her heart was filled with uncontrollable rage, and she had been sitting there since noon until it turned dark.

The sound of the car turning off interrupted her thoughts, and Zhang Yuhua stood up, unable to wait any longer. She glared viciously at Zhang Yanlin and stormed into the house fuming.

"What’s wrong with Mom?" Zhang Yanlin asked his son as he watched.

Zhang Zhiguo replied coldly, "I’m going back to the base tomorrow."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving Zhang Yanlin puzzled, he went into the house.

It wasn’t long before the sounds of things being smashed could be heard from inside.

Xu Ying and Huo Chen were completely unfazed, sitting comfortably in the living room, enjoying a bowl of noodles with fried eggs that they had just prepared.

That night, back in their room, Xu Ying looked at him curiously, "What did you hear while you were with your father?"

Huo Chen’s face instantly turned cold, "The midwife from back then was connected to Zhang Yuhua. I heard Sun Yan saying she has a letter in her possession, probably one written by Zhang Yuhua to that midwife."

Xu Ying nodded, everything made sense now. Zhang Yuhua must have bribed the midwife, who then sabotaged Zhou Yuelian during her childbirth.

"So, what are you planning to do next?" Xu Ying inquired.

Huo Chen’s eyes dimmed, "After I send you to Beijing, I’ll make time to come here and find both that letter and the midwife. No matter who harmed my mother back then, I will find them and avenge my mother."

Xu Ying nodded in support.

The next morning, Huo Chen was ready to drive Xu Ying to Beijing. Zhang Yanlin, not giving up, asked, "Huo Chen, when you’re back, remember to ask your friend if I can also invest in the business."

Huo Chen’s eyes flickered, "I called my friend last night to ask. We’re planning to open another store in Shanghai. If you’re interested, I can help you apply to open a store there. But joining us in the business requires quite a lot of money," he said with a troubled look.

Zhang Yanlin didn’t care at all about the money. Zhou Yuelian had left him a considerable fortune, and over the years, he and Zhang Yuhua had both worked and saved up a substantial amount.

If he could use this money to make more money, then naturally, that would be beneficial.
