Mrs. Zhan's Duty

Ye Xuan married out of the Ye family with great fanfare.

Meanwhile, Ye Ningxuan was secretly sent to the Zhan family's wedding car by the Ye family.

Zhan Hanjue had been divorced several times. The Zhan family was afraid that if they made too much of a fuss, they would attract trouble again. Therefore, the wedding was canceled and she was simply brought over.

The Ye family naturally had no objections. They had gone all out to prepare for Ye Xuan's wedding, and there was nothing they had prepared for Ye Ningxuan. The Zhan family not holding a wedding was exactly what they wanted.

The Zhan family's butler was reporting to his master in a low voice, "Young Master, Young Madam is here. However, the Ye family gave us the wrong person."

"Wrong person?" The man's thin lips parted, and his voice was cold.

Butler Wu lowered his head and explained, "It was originally agreed that it would be the second daughter of the Ye family. Now, it's the third daughter of the Ye family. The Ye family didn't name who it would be back then. The second Miss Ye has already married into the Lin family, so they can only send the third Miss Ye over."

"Ye Henghui is so bold," the man reprimanded coldly.

He didn't care who married into the family, but he hated being lied to.

Butler Wu trembled in fear and asked fearfully, "As for the Young Madam… what should we do about her?"

The man stood up. He was tall, with a handsome face and chiseled features. He was born with a noble aura. Even though his deep eyes were dim, it didn't affect his powerful and condescending aura.

"Send her back and prepare for the acquisition of the Ye Corporation."

They dared to deceive him? He would show the Ye family the consequences of deceiving him.

"Yes." Butler Wu nodded.

"Hold on."

Old Madam Zhan came in, leaning on her cane. She gave Butler Wu a look, dismissing him.

"Why are you here, Grandmother?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Old Madam Zhan said, "Today is the day your new wife enters the family. How can I not come? I've heard about it and immediately found someone to read her fortune. Your destinies are compatible. You two are a compatible couple. The bride can't be returned. Since she's the wrong one, let's just go with the flow."

"Grandma…"

"It's time for you to leave a descendant for the Zhan family." Old Madam Zhan's tone was implacable.

Zhan Hanjue lowered his eyes and gently tapped his long fingers on the table, making a tapping sound.

He neither agreed nor refused.

Old Madam Zhan knew that he had agreed to leave Ye Ningxuan behind and left with satisfaction.

Ye Ningxuan waited in the hall.

But she knew the Zhans would keep her.

Although time was of the essence, she made a small preparation for staying.

Old Madam Zhan had been a Buddhist since many years ago and was quite superstitious. In recent years, she even liked to read fortunes. Therefore, she had asked someone to bribe the fortune teller that Old Madam Zhan often used yesterday night to ensure that she would be kept by the Zhan family today.

As expected, Butler Wu returned not long after. "The Young Master invites you over."

Ye Ningxuan nodded and followed him into the backyard.

The backyard was quiet and gloomy. Even the street lamps were dim.

Through a corridor, an archway ahead looked like the maw of a monster, as if whoever entered it would be to be swallowed and doomed.

"Young Master, the Young Madam is here." Butler Wu pushed open a dark red wooden door.

The wooden door made a heavy sound. It seemed old.

Ye Ningxuan walked in and saw the man standing by the bed. He turned around when he heard the voice.

But he quickly waved Butler Wu away.

Butler Wu turned around and left. When he left, he even considerately closed the wooden door for them.

Ye Ningxuan was already mentally prepared that he was ugly, old, and blind.

However, when she saw Zhan Hanjue's appearance clearly, she was stunned!

Who was this man?

He was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He just stood there, exuding a noble aura.

"Zhan Hanjue?"

No wonder she was surprised. Zhan Hanjue was a business genius, but no one had ever seen him in person. He'd been a mystery for the last dozen years or so.

However, combined with the car accident, fire, and blindness thirteen years ago, and the repeated deaths of his wives, everyone naturally thought that he looked detestable and fierce.

Otherwise, how could he live up to the title of "Satan"?

"Miss Ye, who was sent back to the countryside thirteen years ago and was only brought back to the Ye family yesterday." Zhan Hanjue calmly revealed her background.

Ye Ningxuan's eyes flashed. The other party had investigated her background so thoroughly.

"Do you know why I kept you even though I knew you were a substitute?" Zhan Hanjue's voice was low. "Even though you're ugly and had lost your virginity?"

"I don't know," Ye Ningxuan replied silently.

"I'm blind, so I don't care what you look like." Zhan Hanjue's thin lips curved into a cold smile. "There's no place for you in the Ye family. You can stay in the Zhan family, but you need to do your duty as Mrs. Zhan."

"Duty as Mrs. Zhan?" Ye Ningxuan raised her eyes slightly.

No wonder he looked at her with blank eyes. He really was blind.

That made things easier. It would be easier for her to do things from now on.

"Come and undress me," Zhan Hanjue ordered.
