Seeing Li Shaozhong's smug look, Yan Jingwen punched him and scolded him with a smile, "You're just showing off. But I admire Xiao Ning more now than anything else. I no longer have those feelings for her. I certainly won't do anything to destroy your family or hurt our brotherly relationship."
Li Shaozhong said, "I believe this. We've been brothers for so many years, don't I know your character?"
After talking it over with Li Shaozhong, Yan Jingwen felt relieved. Only then did he start to care about other things. He asked curiously, "You said there's someone else who likes Xiao Ning? Who is it?"
Li Shaozhong glanced at Yan Jingwen and said, "Why should I tell you this? You can't make fun of me."
Yan Jingwen said with some gloating, "It must be someone who often appears around you. Let me guess, Xiao Ning received help from the second young master of the Qin family many times when she was in Nangang. Could it be that Qin Zongye likes Xiao Ning?"
Li Shaozhong rolled his eyes at Yan Jingwen and said, "Why are you making such blind guesses?"
Yan Jingwen knew he was right when he saw Li Shaozhong's expression. He chuckled and said, "He's a strong competitor. Fortunately, you made arrangements to go to Nangang, otherwise Xiao Ning might have been snatched away by someone else."
Li Shaozhong thought of their time in Nangang and said, "Xiao Ning is a determined person. Once we decided on each other, we would never change our hearts. At that time, Xiao Ning was determined to contact me, and Qin Zongye had no chance at all."
Yan Jingwen curled his lips at the stubborn Li Shaozhong and said, "I don't know who was so anxious all day long. After knowing Xiao Ning was in Nangang, he wanted to fly to Nangang immediately."
Li Shaozhong was quite moved when he thought about how anxious he felt every day after he knew Xiao Ning was in Nangang. "How could I not be anxious when my fiancée was suffering outside? At that time, Xiao Ning had to raise and take care of Jingyu. She was a little girl who was unfamiliar with the chaotic place like Nangang. Fortunately, Qin Zongye helped her at that time, otherwise Xiao Ning would have suffered a lot.
Regardless, I'm still very grateful to Qin Zongye. Besides, Qin Zongye is a gentleman who doesn't take advantage of others. That's why we're willing to be friends with him now. He has excellent character and strong abilities, making him a great partner. You'll understand as you interact with him more often."
Yan Jingwen also wanted to help his good brother chase away those crazy people. After thinking for a moment, he said, "And there's Ling Xuan who's been living in your house. He's in his twenties, only slightly younger than Xiao Ning. He's good-looking and very talented. You'd better pay attention to him."
Li Shaozhong said, "Xiao Ning and my father-in-law saved Ling Xuan before. Xiao Ning also treats Ling Xuan as a brother, and Ling Xuan also treats Xiao Ning as a family member. They will be fine. I completely trust Xiao Ning. As long as Xiao Ning doesn't change her mind, no matter what others do, it will be useless."
Yan Jingwen nodded and said, "It's good that you know this. Xiao Ning is so powerful now, it's inevitable that there will be more young pretty boys approaching her in the future, so you should be more careful. And you also have to be careful about the young girls who appear around you. There will definitely be more commercial spies like Zhao Huixin in the future, so we all have to be vigilant."
Li Shaozhong agreed with Yan Jingwen's words. "You're right. We all need to pay attention. Wei Chen is just a team leader in the laboratory, and he's already being targeted. How much more so are we?" However, I'm usually surrounded by men, while Xiao Ning is usually surrounded by young men.
But Xiao Ning has no time for idleness; she's completely focused on research. "Once the lab is built, I'll retire from the Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory and focus on research there. From now on, you'll be responsible for more of the factory's technical work."
Yan Jingwen knew about Li Shaozhong's plan, and he also wanted to do research with them. However, thinking that he would be in frequent contact with Ye Shuning and was afraid that Li Shaozhong would not agree, he did not propose his idea. Instead, he said, "That's no problem. The work at Haizhou Daily Chemical Factory is already regular, so it won't be difficult."
The two of them talked a lot along the way, and after they talked a lot, the burdens in their hearts were unloaded, and they both felt a lot more relaxed.
After returning home, Ye Shuning asked about the results.
Li Shaozhong shook his head. "Zhao Huixin is very stubborn and won't explain anything. She certainly won't agree to divorce Jingwen. Jingwen has no choice but to file a lawsuit and go through the legal process."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I don't think Zhao Huixin would agree to a divorce easily given her personality. It doesn't matter if she doesn't explain the problem. We have solid evidence and can still sentence her."
After being arrested, several key members of the Zhao family were subjected to surprise interrogation. Zhao's father held on and did not confess any questions, but his two sons could not withstand the pressure. Zhao Chengjie and Zhao Chengrui both confessed to different questions. From then on, the Zhao family's three sons and father were considered to have been breached, and the Zhao family could no longer recover.
The Yan family was extremely nervous after learning about the incident at the Zhao family. Yan Hongjiang, the father of the Yan family, also learned about Zhao Huixin's actions from his youngest son. He was so angry that he ordered his son to divorce Zhao Huixin as soon as possible.
Yan Hongjiang was really afraid that his youngest son would be dragged down by the Zhao family.
Yan Hongjiang went home and scolded his wife. "Look at the woman you forced your son to marry. She actually stole other people's business secrets. She has no moral bottom line like the rest of the Zhao family. She harms others' interests for her own selfish gain, even committing crimes. Now you've done it yourself and landed in jail. What if this gets Jingwen into trouble?"
Li Shuxian knew she was in the wrong and said guiltily, "How could I have known that the Zhao family was such a hidden villain. I was just trying to find a good partner for Jingwen."
Yan Hongjiang glared at his wife, anger rising. "You're not only short-sighted, you're also blind. How much better it would have been if Jingwen had married Ye Shuning. Looking across the country, how many women in Ye Shuning's current achievements can compare to her? Even among men, she's surpassed most and is even better than your son. And you pushed such an outstanding daughter-in-law away."
The more Yan Hongjiang thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt. Just look at the Li family. Not only are they thriving, but their three sons are all doing well. The Li family's status is skyrocketing.
All of this is more or less related to the Ye family. Ye Shuning's father, Ye Xingguo, is currently a very important figure, and his position will only increase in the future. Li Shaoyang, the second son of the Li family, was essentially trained by Ye Xingguo.
The eldest son of the Li family also received a lot of help from the Ye family. Li Jingyu, who was admitted to university, was almost entirely trained by Ye Shuning. Li Shaozhong also achieved great success because of Ye Shuning.
Yan Hongjiang had heard people say that choosing a wife was crucial, that some women brought prosperity, while others brought ruin. He felt that women like Ye Shuning were the ones who brought prosperity, while women like his wife were the ones who ruined the family. The old saying about marrying a virtuous woman really made sense.
It was too late to regret everything now. Fortunately, his youngest son had a good relationship with Li Shaozhong and knew what he should do. His biggest worry now was to quickly get his youngest son to divorce Zhao Huixin.
