Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 191: They Had No Choice But to Accept It
When she reached out to pull it, Qin Fengjiao jumped up as if she had been stabbed by an arrow and snatched the phone back.
"I'll make the call." He would only listen if she made the call. Knowing his personality, if he found out that someone else was using her phone to call him, he would take it out on her!
Shen Menghan looked at her, worried that she might say she would hit him but then not.
Li Zhicheng and Li Jun were also watching her from the side.
The call connected, and the other person's voice wasn't as rough as they had imagined; it was even a little gentle: "Darling."
Qin Fengjiao was also startled; this was very unusual.
"I'll be back in a bit, are you there?" Qin Fengjiao thought she should go to his house to resolve the issue.
"I'm going on a business trip and will be back in two weeks."
"Ah?" Qin Fengjiao didn't know whether to be happy or worried; her feelings instantly became very complicated.
“I’m out of town, so you don’t need to come back to my place these days.”
The man hung up the phone.
Before Qin Fengjiao could ask him anything else, she quickly called back, but his phone was already switched off!
"He probably knows we're looking for him, so he's deliberately avoiding us." Li Zhicheng made a very quick decision. The man surnamed Long wasn't a normal person; he definitely didn't want to see him.
"I can finally have two weeks of peace and quiet." A long-lost smile appeared on Qin Fengjiao's face. She could finally return to Xiaohan's cozy home.
“But I can’t just let this go, Linglong, let’s investigate this ourselves.”
"You can't investigate; he's already dealt with the other party."
"Then who exactly posted the photos?" Shen Menghan pressed on relentlessly.
"He wouldn't tell me, and I don't know who it is either."
Qin Fengjiao was helpless. If she had known, she would have gone to settle accounts with the other party long ago. Why would she have made Xiaohan worry?
So, she completely fell into the man's trap. It was a mistake for her to go to him; she was like a lamb entering a tiger's den. But the matter has already been resolved, and any suffering she endures is self-inflicted.
"Zhicheng, is there a way?" Shen Menghan turned to look at him.
"I'll give it a try." It was Li Jun who answered her. He handled all the matters himself, but he was nominally the president.
Li Zhicheng nodded, then asked Li Jun if there was any progress on the phone number he had asked him to look up.
Li Jun shook his head. The other party was very suspicious, and his contact person had not yet given him a reply.
"Xiaohan, it's not just about the person who posted the anonymous photos anymore. The guy surnamed Long is not simple. If he tries to blackmail us with this, we're in for a tough fight."
"If it involves your interests, then forget it. I'll handle this myself." Shen Menghan's face immediately fell. Wasn't he just trying to be a burden to him?
"Xiaohan, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. If Miss Qin is willing to help, our chances of winning are definitely the greatest." Li Zhicheng was a little annoyed; this matter was really not that simple.
"I'm willing to help."
Li Jun said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Mr. Long is no ordinary person, and you are his woman, so you are naturally no ordinary woman either. I believe you have the ability to stand up to him."
“My relationship with him is none of your business. If you’re so capable, go find him yourself.” Qin Fengjiao was unfriendly to Li Jun from the moment she saw him; she always felt that he was mocking her.
The thought of being reduced to a wretched state because of a man filled her with immense sorrow.
"I! President, I'll go and take care of it right away." Li Jun didn't argue with her. Seeing how frail she looked, he actually felt sorry for her. Anyone with a brain knows what it's like for a woman to be tormented by a man.
"Row."
Li Zhicheng gave his permission.
Shen Menghan then said to Qin Fengjiao, "Linglong, he's away on a business trip. You should rest well these few days. Take leave now and go back to rest."
"No, I still have training. I can't miss all those courses. Taking too many leave of absences will have a bad influence. I'm fine. You go back first." Qin Fengjiao forced a smile. She could still hold on.
She had endured even more difficult and tiring times before, so this little bit of hardship was nothing to her. If she opened up, others might think she was enjoying herself, but because it was against her will, she felt particularly wronged.
“Okay, you go to training. I’ll wait here for you to get off work so we can go home together.” Shen Menghan was going all out to accompany her.
"You! Sigh, let's go home first." Qin Fengjiao was defeated by her. Seeing that Xiaohan's spirits were not very good, how could she let her suffer with her? So she left with her.
Li Zhicheng naturally accompanied them as they left. As they exited the company gate, many eyes turned to them, but he didn't care at all. Shen Menghan, on the other hand, kept a certain distance from him, thinking it best to keep a low profile.
The driver brought the car over, and the three of them got into the back seat together.
Qin Fengjiao leaned against Shen Menghan's head, using it as a pillow, and fell asleep in no time.
The car was quiet, and she didn't say a word, so Li Zhicheng didn't disturb the peace.
She wanted to go home and wanted to take him home with her, so she asked the driver to take a detour to buy some gifts and then go home together.
Shen Feng was overjoyed at their return, but when she saw Li Zhicheng, her face immediately fell, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Li Zhicheng prepared himself mentally, thinking that gaining her trust might not be easy, but he had to overcome this hurdle.
"Mom, I brought a friend home. You and Grandma can rest. I'll cook." Shen Menghan smiled, then turned around and glanced at Li Zhicheng.
"Auntie, Grandma, hello." Li Zhicheng said gently, without any airs, trying his best to ease the atmosphere.
"Heh, we're not good." Shen Feng said coldly, turning around and going back into the house, not giving Li Zhicheng a chance.
"Auntie, Xiaohan and I will cook together, you two take a rest."
“We can’t eat the food you made,” Shen Feng said stiffly, immediately contradicting her.
Li Zhicheng was embarrassed.
"Auntie, how about Xiaohan and I cook together?" Qin Fengjiao stepped in to help: "Mr. Li, why don't you chat with Auntie and Grandma for a while?"
"Okay." Li Zhicheng was being supported by the two of them, just in case he fell and got hurt.
“We have nothing to talk about with him.” Shen Feng finished speaking and walked into the room, slamming the door shut behind her.
Li Zhicheng looked disappointed. He hadn't done anything wrong; his mistake was having the surname Li.
He felt that his surname was quite good, so why did they hate it? He had to get to the bottom of it, otherwise he couldn't find the right solution!
Shen Menghan came up and shook her head at him. It seemed that this path was blocked, but they still had to keep trying, otherwise how could they get around it?
"Xiaohan, don't worry, I will respect your choice. We'll take it slow." He smiled bitterly. He had wanted to investigate before, but Xiaohan disagreed. It would violate his mother's privacy. She had endured it for more than ten years. He shouldn't have given up at the first sign of a setback. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought him back in the first place.
"I'll cook, you two can have a good chat." Qin Fengjiao sighed; their love story had just been far too long!
