176 Jackals of The Same Tribe
Li Yanchen walked over to the car that Du Xing pointed at. The door was half-open.
Ji Hanzhi received the “OK” message from Du Xing.
She watched Li Yanchen approach closer and closer to the car from the rearview mirror. He finally stopped at the car door. Ji Hanzhi took off her sunglasses. “Yanchen!”
“It’s you again?” Li Yanchen had not expected that Du Xing and Ji Hanzhi would band together.
“Why are you with Du Xing?” he asked.
“She found me. She told me that she was your sister-in-law. She also said that you liked me, but you couldn’t express your love for me because I wasn’t straightforward with you. Yanchen, if I were to express my love for you bravely, would you admit that you like me as well?”
She got out of the car and stood very close to Li Yanchen. Du Xing took a few pictures from different angles. In the photos, it appeared as though Li Yanchen and Ji Hanzhi were standing very close together.
“Did I not make myself clear enough? I’ve only met you a few times. If you weren’t a flying guest in the show, I might not even have remembered you. Du Xing is Du Zheng’s sister, but I have nothing to do with her. Please don’t do things like these,” said Li Yanchen.
“You are so shameless. You express your feelings toward a married man despite me making it clear that I want nothing to do with both of you. You two are jackals of the same tribe. You are at least a public figure. Don’t you have any sense of propriety? If your children knew that their mother was doing something like this, would they be proud of you?”
Ji Hanzhi was embarrassed and annoyed. Li Yanchen’s words were clear. He wouldn’t have even remembered her if she had not appeared in the variety show. He didn’t have any feelings for her at all. Instead, it sounded like he despised her.
“Du Xing told me that she was Du Zheng’s sister and you and your wife were very close to her. She said she worried about Lin Wan mistreating her nephews. She begged me to come here. Otherwise, I would have never come to meet you,” Ji Hanzhi tried to explain so that she would still have a way out.
Li Yanchen laughed coldly. “I don’t know if you really believe that, or if you are just making things up as you please. Wanwan is very good to the children. They love her right back. Please don’t appear in front of me ever again. I don’t want to see either of you. Also, it won’t be good if you try to contact Lin Wan to sow discord between us. She trusts and believes me. As I trust her.” Li Yanchen turned around and left.
Other than the photos, Du Xing had also taken a few videos. Even though the sounds could not be heard, it was clear that Li Yanchen and Ji Hanzhi were talking for a long time. Du Xing was sure that after some editing, coupled with the headline of the secret meeting between the beautiful mother and Chenxin’s boss, it would cause chaos on the internet.
Ji Hanzhi’s face flushed with anger, and she gritted her teeth. Li Yanchen clearly despised his sister-in-law. Du Xing had lied to her and said that he was very friendly with her. ‘What is her motive? Is she really doing this for her nephews?’
Du Xing saved a copy of the photo and video in an encrypted photo album, then walked to Ji Hanzhi with a smile.
“Are you using me?” Ji Hanzhi’s face darkened. “Li Yanchen sounded as though he despised you.”
Du Xing made up an excuse. She told him she was worried about her nephews, but Li Yanchen didn’t appreciate her concerns because he was blinded by Lin Wan. She said she had no choice.
Ji Hanzhi’s mood was down after being given the cold shoulder by Li Yanchen. She was too tired to think about Du Xing’s motives. She hailed a taxi by the side of the road and returned to the hotel, blacklisting Du Xing on the way.
When her last pawn left, Du Xing was exasperated. She bought a new SIM card, registered a v-account, and posted the photos online.
[LI Yanchen’s loyal lover persona is suspected to be fake. Can’t wait to meet Ji Hanzhi after the live broadcast.]
[The most beautiful mother becomes the third party, secretly meeting with an old lover at Chenxin parking lot.]
People were divided on their opinions:
[Impossible! Sister Hanzhi is definitely not that kind of person.]
[I don’t believe that Mr. Li would do that either. There must be some misunderstanding.]
[I don’t believe the rumors. I am going to wait for the people involved to clarify this first.]
[But the photos and videos are real. Why did the two of them meet in the parking lot?]
[They don’t talk in the show but discuss things outside? Moreover, Ji Hanzhi was wearing a hat and sunglasses. She was clearly afraid of being photographed.]
[Why do they have to meet behind Lin Wan’s back? What is so secret that can’t be discussed openly?]
[I hope that the people involved will clarify everything as soon as possible. If Li Yanchen has truly let Lin Wan down, I will never buy anything from Chenxin ever again.]
[Me too!]
When Li Yanchen got home, he took Lin Wan to Yunfan Summit for a meal. He told her everything that had happened in the parking lot and his encounter with Du Xing and Ji Hanzhi. He played the recording for her too.
Lin Wan was shocked. A plot that would only appear in novels in the original world had actually happened in reality. She didn’t understand why some people would try to destroy other people’s families so openly.
“Wanwan, I’m worried that they weren’t there to just say a few words to me,” said Li Yanchen. “Now that Ji Hanzhi and Du Xing are together, you should be more careful.”
“You should be careful too. They both seem to target you more than me.”
“You do know that I won’t ever do something to let you down?” Li Yanchen sincerely expressed his feelings.
She leaned against his shoulder. “Of course, I do.”
As night fell, the two of them took a walk along the lake after dinner.
Li Yanchen only took out his phone when Assistant Qin called him suddenly to tell him to watch the news.
As expected, Ji Hanzhi was photographed in the parking lot in the afternoon.
Li Yanchen also realized that this was the only news account that was spreading baseless rumors. Evidently, this account was newly registered. There was a high chance that the account was Du Xing’s.
Li Yanchen tapped on the screen of his phone. Lin Wan glanced at the phone. “The title is certainly very catchy. Do you want to clarify everything to them?”
Li Yanchen took a photo of himself and Lin Wan and posted it online.
The caption read:
[Forced to work overtime by my wife. Very unwilling. I almost couldn’t come back from the parking lot in the evening. I finally made it into the car and almost missed my reservation. Let’s take a walk after dinner. No matter how rushed, I will always make it home to you.]
In the photo, Li Yanchen and Lin Wan’s faces were pressed against each other. This piece of news quickly made a hot search.
[Li Yanchen slammed the rumors on the face.]
[Finally! I waited a long time for the clarification. My favorite couple! It was just a rumor after all.]
[How do you explain Ji Hanzhi’s appearance in Chenxin, though? Could it just be Ji Hanzhi’s wishful thinking?]
[ Li Yanchen doesn’t seem to know about it before. Which means Ji Hanzhi stopped him in the parking lot while he was returning home.]
[Impossible! There is no way Hanzhi would do something like that! If she wanted to meet Li Yanchen, she could have done so during the program! In fact, during the live broadcast, she wasn’t even in the same frame as Li Yanchen!]
[Is someone trying to frame Ji Hanzhi?]
[I hope Ji Hanzhi clarifies the situation too. Li Yanchen has a wife. Does Ji Hanzhi want to be the other woman in their life?]
[It’s obvious that Ji Hanzhi approached Li Yanchen yet again and was rejected.]
Everyone ran to Ji Hanzhi’s account to leave comments, and some fans even started scolding her.
Li Yanchen was browsing through the latest news.
Lin Wan held his chin and turned him to face her. “Who made you work overtime again?”
“You.”
“When did I do that?”
Li Yanchen leaned down and kissed her, leaving Lin Wan at a loss for words.
