Zhang Nan was embarrassed. "I can take a taxi back by myself. I'm already that old!"
"In my eyes, no matter how old you are, you are still a child."
Zhang Nan hung up the phone feeling embarrassed. "My uncle is so annoying. He always treats me like a child. He said he's nearby and will come pick me up."
Wen Ying smiled and agreed: "That's what adults do, but your uncle really loves you."
Zhang Nan snorted, "He's quite generous with his money. He's been doing business abroad for years, and as soon as he returns home he wants to show off his presence in front of me."
Zhang Nan has only one uncle doing business abroad, and that is Zhang Zhijun!
Wen Ying's heart beat faster.
She didn't have to do anything, just wait with Zhang Nan at the hotel entrance, and she would see Zhang Zhijun soon.
If Zhang Zhijun is really a cunning and shrewd person, was his coming to pick up Zhang Nan a coincidence or intentional?
No way.
Is Zhang Zhijun already on guard against Xie Qian to this extent? Does he want to find out the details of anyone close to Xie Qian?
Wen Ying was a little embarrassed. While Zhang Nan went to pay the bill, she secretly called Xie Qian and briefly explained the current situation.
Xie Qian’s first reaction was to tell Wen Ying to leave quickly and not meet Zhang Zhijun.
Then he dismissed the idea.
Regardless of whether Zhang Zhijun did it intentionally or unintentionally, it was very abnormal for Wen Ying to leave at this moment. Instead, it made her look guilty, which would cause Zhang Zhijun to investigate further.
It’s better to deal with it calmly, pretend that you know nothing, and greet Zhang Zhijun openly.
"He's going to pick up Zhang Nan. You're having dinner with Zhang Nan, so be sure to greet her elders if you meet them."
After Xie Qian finished speaking, Wen Ying took a deep breath and said, "Well, I know what to do!"
Zhang Zhijun arrived very quickly.
Wen Ying and Zhang Nan waited at the door for less than five minutes before a black Honda stopped on the side of the road.
Zhang Zhijun got out of the car, and Zhang Nan introduced him: "This is my friend Wen Ying, a great writer, superb!"
Zhang Nan showed off his new toys like a child.
Wen Ying smiled at Zhang Zhijun, "Hello, Uncle Zhang. I often hear Zhang Nan mention you and say that you love her very much."
Zhang Zhijun laughed heartily. "What a coincidence! I've heard of you before. You're the 'fish swimming against the current,' right? I heard you met Zhang Nan through Xie Qian. It seems you two are quite familiar with each other!"
Wen Ying smiled and nodded in agreement, "Of course I am familiar with him. Xie Qian and I were classmates for three years. Later, Peng Guoqing transferred here, and we became very familiar with each other."
No hiding, just admitting it directly.
If Zhang Zhijun had already known the situation, Wen Ying certainly could not deny that she was very familiar with Xie Qian.
But besides being familiar with Xie Qian, Wen Ying is also familiar with Peng Guoqing!
This is also the truth.
Zhang Zhijun and Wen Ying exchanged a few pleasantries and let Zhang Nan get in the car.
"Come visit our home when you have time. You are Xiaonan's friend, and we welcome you very much."
"Uncle Zhang, I will definitely visit you when I have time."
Wen Ying waved and watched Zhang Zhijun's black Honda drive out of her sight before she put away her smile.
…
At the same time, Zhang Zhijun in the car also stopped smiling and sighed at Zhang Nan, "You're so careless. Can't you find someone else to be your friend?"
Zhang Nan was baffled. "Of course we can be friends with others, but Wen Ying is Wen Ying, and others are others. There's no conflict!"
Zhang Zhijun was helpless: "You silly boy, even I heard that Xiao Wen is Xie Qian's girlfriend, and you don't know anything?"
Zhang Nan chuckled, "Who told you that? Could it be Xie Qian's father? I don't believe a word he says. He just can't stand seeing Xie Qian have a good life!"
Zhang Nan recounted how he had heard the rumors and gone to the book signing event to find Wen Ying. "Wen Ying is indeed Xie Qian's good friend. She knows that Xie Qian is in a difficult situation. Am I even worse than her? Am I stupid enough to hold Xie Qian back?"
Zhang Zhijun thought thoughtfully: "...She knows quite a bit about the Xie family."
Zhang Nan disagreed: "There's nothing to hide about the Xie family. Xie Qian isn't the shameless one. His father has the nerve to do it, so Xie Qian certainly has the nerve to tell his friends~"
Zhang Zhijun reminded his niece, "Your Uncle Xie is an elder after all. What the Xie family said about him is their business. How can you say that? I heard that he has cut off contact with the woman outside. Maybe after a while, the relationship between him and Xie Qian will ease. Xie Qian is willing to acknowledge him as his father. Why are you so awkward!"
Zhang Nan retched repeatedly.
"Stop talking, I don't believe Xie Qian will forgive his father. You adults are so weird. You've done so many things that hurt others, but you think that just saying 'I'm sorry' can erase all your mistakes? If Xie Qian is willing to forgive his father, he's not the Xie Qian I know!"
