Chapter 406 A Better Idea



Li Ruo glanced at her indifferently and then turned and left.

She didn't want to cause trouble with Wen Zhi here; it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

Seeing Li Ruo's retreating figure, Wen Zhi had no choice but to stomp her foot angrily and follow after her.

The last person to present flowers was Wen Changfeng, and he looked quite calm.

However, when Li Ruo, who was standing not far away, saw the hint of impatience in his eyes, she immediately frowned.

Although he had known for a long time that Wen Changfeng disliked Li Rao, and even wished she were dead.

But the other person's expression shouldn't be so calm!

Could it be...?

Just as Li Ruo was about to take a closer look, Wen Huaiyan appeared beside her at some point and spoke in a low voice: "After we left the orphanage last time, I sent someone to investigate and found that the man's arrival time was not fixed, sometimes every four or five days, sometimes every ten days or half a month."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was taken aback: "So, does that mean our only option is to send people to stake out outside the orphanage?"

After all, the best way to catch someone who is unpredictable is to stake out the place, but doing so might alert them.

As expected, Wen Huaiyan shook his head after hearing this: "Staking out is definitely not an option, but I remember the director mentioned before that the orphanage would be holding an event in a few days when we left."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo slightly raised her head.

Just then, everyone returned to their original positions, and Wen Huaiyan also had to leave.

Before leaving, he instructed Li Ruo, "Don't rush off later, let's discuss the next steps."

Li Ruo nodded and agreed immediately.

Soon, after everyone observed a minute's silence for Li Rao, the funeral concluded smoothly.

At this moment, with Wen Huaiyan's help, Old Master Wen came to Li Daocheng and looked ashamed: "In the end, Li Rao died because she gave birth to a child for our Wen family. Our Wen family feels guilty."

Hearing what Grandpa Wen said, Li Daocheng sighed and shook his head: "Nothing of the sort, Grandpa, don't overthink it. As for the marriage between our two families, let's just forget about it."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo keenly noticed that Wen Changfeng raised his head, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

But his expression changed too quickly, and he soon returned to normal.

Hearing Li Daocheng's sorrowful tone as he said he wanted to cancel the wedding, Old Master Wen's guilt deepened.

He turned to look at the butler beside him, and upon receiving a signal, the butler immediately took out a check from his briefcase.

As soon as the check was taken out, Sun Lan, who was still crying, immediately stopped crying.

When Li Ruo looked over, she noticed that the girl's eyes, peeking out from between her fingers, were staring intently at the check.

Although Li Ruo already knew what kind of people the two of them were.

But Li Rao had just been buried, so this seemed a bit excessive.

However, Li Ruo wouldn't be foolish enough to make accusations, since none of this concerned her.

Grandpa Wen handed the check to Li Daocheng and said, "Here is fifty million. Consider it a small token of my apology. The engagement between the two children is now null and void."

At this moment, Li Daocheng was not listening to anything else. His eyes were fixed on the check, his hands were trembling slightly, and Li Ruo vaguely saw him swallow.

However, with other people present, the two of them were still somewhat rational at this moment, and they forced themselves not to show any joy, pretending to look at Old Master Wen with grief.

"Grandpa, don't blame yourself too much. It's just that Li Rao is unlucky and not destined to marry into the Wen family."

Grandpa Wen sighed, his voice a little hoarse: "Alright, let's not say any more. Thank you all for attending Li Rao's funeral. Thank you for your help."

Seeing that he clearly didn't want to talk about it anymore, the two of them pursed their lips and wisely kept quiet.

After thanking each of the guests who came to pay their respects, the funeral was considered over.

As everyone walked outside, Li Ruo and Wen Huaiyan lagged behind.

After glancing at the crowd ahead, Li Ruo lowered her voice and asked, "So you're planning to go to the orphanage's event and wait for this man to appear?"

Wen Huaiyan nodded: "Yes, and since he cares so much about the orphanage, he is very likely to come that day. At that time, all we need to do is find out if he is Zhang Jiadong, and we can find out everything by catching him."

Upon learning of Wen Huaiyan's arrangements, Li Ruo pursed her lips slightly.

That's the truth, and there's no better idea right now...

"Okay, let's go together that day. I don't believe we can't catch him."

Hearing the firmness in her tone, Wen Huaiyan narrowed his eyes, as if he had expected her to say that.

"you……"

Just as he was about to say something, Li Ruo suddenly spoke up.

She glanced down at Wen Huaiyan's injured arm, which was hidden by his suit jacket, and looked at him with concern.
