“You have to hurry up. You can’t let others snatch my good granddaughter-in-law…” Grandma looked at Chen Chen’s indifferent expression and was a little disappointed.
Chen Chen immediately said, “Grandma, where did you hear this gossip? Your grandson is handsome and rich. How could she not like me and like someone else?”
Seeing that Grandma still did not believe him, Chen Chen smiled mysteriously and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Our relationship has eased a lot recently. Before long, I’ll bring her back. Furthermore, I’ll organize a banquet and a grand wedding. When the time comes, I’ll even let her toast you in front of everyone. How about that?”
Hearing this, Grandma’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really? My good grandson, don’t lie to me!”
Chen Chen held Grandma’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. When has your eldest grandson ever lied to anyone?! Alright, Grandma, rest quickly. I want to rest too. Don’t stay up so late with me anymore!”
“Okay, okay. I’ll go rest now!” Hearing Chen Chen’s words, Grandma was so happy that her face bloomed.
Chen Chen returned to the bedroom.
He had mixed feelings. He was happy and worried.
He was happy that his relationship with Bai Ran had indeed become unprecedentedly good. Even when he announced their relationship at Jiang Yun’s wedding that day, Bai Ran did not object strongly.
After returning from the wedding that day, the outside world was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing the secret marriage of the Chen family’s young master. Although this matter was a little confusing, and everyone was only suspicious and guessing, it had already caused a lot of heat.
After so long, Bai Ran did not show any disgust.
Furthermore, Bai Ran had said herself that she believed him!
This gave Chen Chen great strength and confidence. As long as Bai Ran was willing to stand by his side, he was not afraid of anything.
However, he was worried because he had promised Bai Ran that he would resolve all these misunderstandings and prove himself to her.
Up until now, thanks to the blessings of God, after his visit to the kidnapping scene was beautifully overturned, nothing else had progressed.
Although Bai Ran said she believed him, Chen Chen could still feel her restraint.
Perhaps she had been deceived too many times. Bai Ran would not be able to be with him in peace, especially before Hu Wan’s illness was confirmed.
Chen Chen expressed that he could understand. According to his intelligence, Hu Wan’s illness was fake, but Bai Ran had clearly seen Hu Wan’s illness with her own eyes.
If this illness was true, how could Bai Ran not suspect that he would return to Hu Wan’s side?
In short, be it to reassure Bai Ran, clear his name, or catch the mastermind, this matter had to be investigated as soon as possible.
Chen Chen closed his eyes and sighed.
It was not easy to investigate these things.
The other party had clearly arranged this meticulously. Every step was in it. Even his current reaction was within the other party’s expectations.
Even Gu Qian had been instigated to defect. This person was really capable.
This matter made him lose confidence. He even began to suspect that Hu Wan was indeed not pretending to be sick, and he was the pitiful chess piece.
Chen Chen lay on the bed and began to recall the details of his interactions with Hu Wan.
After some thought, he did not seem to have thought of any flaws.
Hu Wan had always been a meticulous person. Even if she pretended to be sick, she would not reveal anything.
Chen Chen thought of many details about how he interacted with her and many unreasonable scenes, but she covered them up perfectly every time.
For example, he would occasionally see her drinking, but she would always say that it was okay to drink a little.
Occasionally, she would exercise more, but she always said that it was fine to exercise with her heart disease. Her attending doctor surnamed Shao even helped her smooth things over every time. He really could not find any flaws.
Could it be that this was really a trap fabricated by someone else, waiting for him to enter?
The more Chen Chen thought about it, the more indignant he became. He had heard the news of Hu Wan pretending to be sick from Dean Fang. Dean Fang was an old friend of his grandfather and had a high status. Why should he help others lie to him?
Chen Chen was puzzled.
However, after some thought, this was the only breakthrough.
He originally wanted to call Dean Fang tomorrow morning, but Chen Chen could not wait any longer. He picked up his phone and called Dean Fang.
