Chapter 437

437 Business Trip

Li Zhen picked up the teapot on the table and took a big gulp of water. “I overheard Zhao Wen and Wen Xun saying that they plan to ask Yu Yan.”

Qian Hao hesitated for a moment when he heard this. “The answer will be the same no matter who asks. I’ll ask them after they ask Yu Yan.”

Li Zhen nodded. “Be careful. Don’t be the last to know everything.”

Li Zhen didn’t want to add insult to injury. He just felt that no matter what, as a creditor, Qian Hao had to at least know the truth. If something really happened to Yu Yan’s family, Yu Yan should come up with a plan to repay the money.

!!

Li Zhen knew Qian Hao’s family situation. This amount of money wasn’t a small amount to him.

Qian Hao knew that Li Zhen was reminding him out of goodwill, so he smiled and replied, “I understand.”

On the other side, Zhao Wen and Wen Xun had already reached the entrance of Yu Yan’s dormitory.

The dormitory door was open, and Yu Yan and Xu Ling were inside.

Zhao Wen called out softly, “Yu Yan, I have something to ask you.”

Yu Yan was lying on the bed while writing to her adoptive parents. Recently, she had not been able to contact anyone, so she was a little flustered. This had never happened before.

Yu Yan couldn’t contact them even after calling them a few times. Yu Yan couldn’t help but wonder if her adoptive parents were looking for an excuse not to pick up the phone to force her to return to the city.

However, the more they were like this, the more Yu Yan didn’t want to go back. Yu Yan could only write a letter as a last-ditch effort now.

Yu Hai and his wife were almost 50 years old and couldn’t be contacted now, but Yu Yan had never thought that something might have happened to her adoptive parents’ health. She was only worried that she wouldn’t be able to continue getting money from her adoptive parents.

When Yu Yan heard someone call her, she looked up. When she saw Zhao Wen and Wen Xun, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Xu Ling, who was looking at her, then stood up and walked out of the room with a smile. “I haven’t seen you guys for a few days. I happened to have something to look for you guys for.”

With that, she signaled for the two of them to follow her.

At this time, there was definitely no one in the kitchen, so Yu Yan brought the two of them to the kitchen to talk.

After Zhao Wen and Wen Xun exchanged looks, they looked at Yu Yan, who was smiling at them. Zhao Wen took the initiative to ask, “Yu Yan, the first half of September is almost over. Have your parents returned from their business trip?”

Yu Yan smiled as she replied, “Not yet. They’re on a business trip for a long time this time. I contacted their colleagues, who said that something cropped up at the place where they were on a business trip, so they’re delayed.”

When Zhao Wen saw Yu Yan’s calm expression, he suspected the authenticity of the news. However, he still asked, “Yu Yan, are things going well for your parents in the workplace?”

Yu Yan was a little stunned when she heard this. “Pretty well. Why do you ask?”

When Zhao Wen saw Yu Yan’s confused expression, he didn’t know if Yu Yan was pretending and glanced at Wen Xun. He was a little unsure if he should continue asking. If the information was wrong, it would be rude of them to ask directly.

Wen Xun could see the hesitation in Zhao Wen’s eyes. He thought about how Zhao Wen’s family was better off than his. Zhao Wen could afford the delay, but Wen Xun couldn’t. “Yu Yan, I heard that something happened to your parents’ at their workplace.”

Yu Yan frowned when she heard this. However, even she couldn’t help but believe it.

Usually, her adoptive parents would take the initiative to send her letters. She would reply depending on her mood. Sometimes, she would only reply to two or three letters, but her adoptive parents would still send her letters happily. Two or three letters a month was the least. Now that she thought about it, they had not contacted her for more than a month.

However, no matter how flustered Yu Yan was, she couldn’t show it now. Otherwise, if they were worried that she couldn’t return the money and caused a commotion, her reputation would be ruined!

In fact, ever since Yu Yan slandered Yu Bing and was detained, no one had a good impression of her anymore. However, they were still living together after all, so everyone still had to maintain a polite pretense and they greeted Yu Yan as usual.

Yu Yan assumed that everyone’s opinion of Yu Bing was the same as her own. Although there was no evidence, she assumed that they couldn’t stand Yu Bing hanging out with a man all day long.

Yu Yan pretended to be angry and replied, “Who started the rumors? Nothing happened to my parents! They just went on a business trip!”
