Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2434: Chapter 238

"I’m having dinner with Third Brother, Sister-in-law, where are you? I’ll come pick you up."

Feng Yize called her Sister-in-law smoothly and naturally.

Momo laughed and said, "No need to pick me up, just give me the address. I’ll come find you guys, but you have to promise me not to tell Ye Zhan."

"Oh... why, Sister-in-law, my big brother isn’t that controlling, is he? I helped him, yet he still won’t let me hang out with you?"

Feng Yize protested unhappily on the other end of the phone.

"No, just do as I say and don’t let Ye Zhan know. Tell me the address and I’ll come over now."

Momo’s smile faded, and her soft voice took on a hint of seriousness.

Feng Yize gave Momo the address, but hung up the phone still looking puzzled.

"What did Sister-in-law say to you to make you look like that?"

Chu Junming, sitting at the opposite table, asked with concern.

Feng Yize’s conversation with Momo wasn’t quite clear to him.

Feng Yize furrowed his handsome brows, his beautiful romantic eyes filled with confusion, "I don’t know either. Sister-in-law said she wants to come find me, and told me not to let Big Brother know."

He leaned his body forward, resting his arms on the table, "Third Brother, do you think Big Brother upset Sister-in-law again? I’ve already made tons of excuses for him. If he keeps getting her angry, I’ll really be pissed off."

"Probably not."

Chu Junming pondered and said, "Big Brother went to the airport to pick her up this morning, he shouldn’t have upset her. Sister-in-law knows what he’s done for her, she even flew straight to the Imperial City, she must be touched. I think she came to find you because of Ji Anyun."

"Ji Anyun?"

Feng Yize’s voice rose several octaves in surprise, and he leaned back against the chair.

"Big Brother surely wouldn’t have told Sister-in-law how he dealt with things with Ji Anyun. Maybe Sister-in-law is worried, so she wants to ask you."

"Should we tell Big Brother?"

Feng Yize was a bit indecisive.

"Let’s not tell him for now." Chu Junming calmly analyzed, "Sister-in-law told you not to tell Big Brother, so since you agreed, don’t break your word to her. Let’s hear what she has to say first."

Momo arrived at the restaurant where Feng Yize and Chu Junming were dining, forty minutes later.

She had been caught in traffic for a while, which delayed her by more than ten minutes.

Feng Yize and Chu Junming warmly invited Momo to sit down and asked if she’d had lunch.

"I’ve eaten, just a glass of water will do."

Momo smiled as she accepted the water Chu Junming handed her, saying "Thank you."

Chu Junming and Feng Yize were sitting next to her. They weren’t in the private dining room, but in the reception area.

Momo took a sip of water, put down the glass, and explained her purpose to Chu Junming and Feng Yize, "There’s something I want to ask you guys about."

"Sister-in-law, feel free to ask anything you want, Yi Ze and I will tell you everything we know."

Chu Junming replied with a smile.

Even though he was older than Momo, he called her Sister-in-law sincerely.

Momo briefly explained the situation.

"Sister-in-law, if Ji Anyun knows you’ve come to the Imperial City, she must also know that Big Brother likes you. She’s trying to stir things up, so don’t fall for it."

Chu Junming was after all a businessman.

He knew better than Feng Yize what to say.

"I came to find you guys to know the truth, not to believe what Ji Anyun said." Momo was not a woman to be easily pacified by a few comforting words from Chu Junming.

She pursed her lips and said, "Ji Anyun asked me to go to the hospital. I came here to find you first. If you’re not willing to tell me, then I’ll just have to go find her."

"Sister-in-law..."

"You guys are sworn brothers with Ye Zhan. If he’s done something dangerous and you’re hiding it from me, if anything happens to him, I will blame you."

Momo interrupted Chu Junming, her tone becoming increasingly serious.

--

"Sister-in-law, Third Brother and I absolutely aren’t keeping anything from you."

Feng Yize earnestly raised his hand to swear.

Chu Junming also solemnly nodded, "Sister-in-law, what did Ji Anyun say to you?"

Momo saw that they didn’t seem to be lying.

So she recounted what Ji Anyun had said to them.

After listening to her, Chu Junming seemed thoughtful.

Feng Yize, on the other hand, pulled out his phone to call Ye Zhan, "I’ll ask Big Brother if he’s hiding anything from us."

"Let me make this call."

Chu Junming thought for a moment and stopped Feng Yize, "Sister-in-law definitely doesn’t want Big Brother to know she hasn’t left. If you let it slip, it’ll be troublesome."

"Alright, you make the call."

Chu Junming dialed Ye Zhan’s number.

After a few rings, Ye Zhan’s voice came on, "Hello, Junming."

"Big Brother, are you driving?"

Hearing the sound of a car horn on the other end, Chu Junming asked with concern.

He had it on speaker, and upon hearing Ye Zhan’s voice, Momo’s eyes were fixed on Chu Junming’s phone, treating the two living people as if they were invisible.

"Mm."

"Aren’t you with my sister-in-law?"

"Momo has returned to G City, I need to go back for a while. Have you found any results on your end?"

"Not yet, the other side is not only cunning but also quite skilled, it’s hard to find out anything quickly."

Chu Junming looked up at Momo, noticing a slight change in her expression. He hesitated before asking, "Big brother, over at Ji Anyun’s place, the president hasn’t given you a hard time, has he?"

"No, it’s been resolved."

"Didn’t he promise Ji Congxiang that you’d marry Ji Anyun?"

"Is Yi Ze with you?"

"He went to the restroom."

Chu Junming lied without changing his expression.

Momo’s heart tightened.

Ye Zhan’s voice came again, now slightly colder,

"Sister-in-law, would you like to call big brother?"

After ending the call, Chu Junming asked Momo with concern.

Momo silently frowned her delicate brows.

Beside her, Feng Yize pulled up a smile and said lightly, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, my big brother has completed countless tasks over the years, and each time he returned safely."

"What kind of person is Ji Congxiang?"

Momo finally spoke.

The question caught both Chu Junming and Feng Yize off guard.

They exchanged a glance, both shook their heads.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to know, I can check on Ji Congxiang right now."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Momo put away her worries and sadness, a graceful smile appearing on her face.

After a pause, she said, "Ye Zhan got linked to Ji Anyun because of me. The time Poison Eagle showed up, my photo in Ye Zhan’s car was uploaded online, Ji Anyun probably saw it too."

"..."

Chu Junming and Feng Yize listened quietly, without interrupting.

"I don’t want to assume the worst in people, but Ye Zhan’s task this time is definitely dangerous, and Ji Congxiang has been in politics his whole life. His daughter jumped off a building for Ye Zhan, and he still didn’t want to marry her. There’s no way he doesn’t hold a grudge."

If he didn’t hold a grudge, he wouldn’t have secretly met with the president to pressure Ye Zhan.

"Sister-in-law."

Feng Yize called out with complex emotions.

Chu Junming frowned slightly, not only agreeing with Momo’s analysis but also greatly admiring her intelligence.

"Junming, Yi Ze, I want to ask for your help."

"Sister-in-law, whatever you need us to do, just say it. Even if it’s through fire and water, I, Feng Yize, won’t even blink."

Feng Yize patted his chest.

Momo smiled lightly, "I don’t need you to go through fire and water, that would be unfair to Ye Zhan. I just need you to investigate Ji Congxiang. You don’t know what task Ye Zhan is executing, but Ji Congxiang certainly does."

"Sister-in-law, are you worried about Ji Congxiang secretly setting up my brother?"

Chu Junming asked gently.

Momo nodded, "If he were a gentleman, he certainly wouldn’t do such a despicable thing. But right now, I don’t believe he’s a good person. Ye Zhan’s task is already dangerous, I can’t let anyone stab him in the back."

"Leave it to me. Although I’m just a businessman, I have some ways to investigate Ji Congxiang."

Chu Junming straightened his expression and solemnly promised.

If his previous respect for Momo was because his sworn brother Ye Zhan liked Momo,

this moment, he felt a new emotion for Momo.

He both admired her and was moved by her affection for Ye Zhan.

"I know you have the capability." Momo’s smile brightened.

"I will also do my best to help. Sister-in-law, do you still want to see Ji Anyun?"

Feng Yize added.

"I want to go to the Ye Family."

Momo bit her lip, "While Ye Zhan is away, I have something to discuss with Grandpa Ye. Yi Ze, if you’re free, would you accompany me?"

She didn’t call Chu Junming because Ye Zhan has many things for Chu Junming to do.

She also asked him to help investigate Ji Congxiang.

Comparatively, Feng Yize should have more time.

"I have time, third brother, I’ll accompany sister-in-law to find Grandpa Ye now. You quickly get someone to investigate Ji Congxiang. Don’t give him a chance to undermine big brother."

Momo stood up and said to Chu Junming, "Junming, thank you."

Chu Junming shook his head, "Sister-in-law, when do you plan to return to G City?"

"After I see Grandpa Ye, I’ll go back."

Staying in the Imperial City, she can’t help Ye Zhan and might even cause trouble for Chu Junming and Feng Yize.
