Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Defending Jiang Wan Ning

"I’m quite surprised that you can tell something’s on my mind just from my expression."

As he said this, his expression looked somewhat pleased.

Wen Ran didn’t know what he was pleased about, only continuing to ask, "So, what exactly is it?"

"I ran into Xu Tong at the café this morning."

"Xu Tong?"

Hearing this name, her mind automatically replayed the last scene of their meeting—

At the Tongque Building, Fu Chenlie had found two men to scare Xu Tong for her sake.

Wen Ran gathered her thoughts, "What did she say to you?"

"She gave me a letter, said it was left to me by Wan Ning before she left two years ago."

"Did you read it?"

While driving, Fu Chenlie replied, "Not yet."

She pressed her lips together, feeling a bit relieved that he shared this with her, but also worried that the letter might become a turning point in Fu Chenlie’s attitude towards Jiang Wan Ning.

The car interior fell silent for a moment.

Wen Ran thought about it and ultimately felt she couldn’t be too selfish.

She looked at him, smiled slightly, "If you want to read it, go ahead. If you don’t, this issue will always be a knot in your heart. Reading it might bring closure."

"Madam has always been smart. You should guess, I don’t want certain things to ruin our relationship by not reading it."

"The issue is there, whether you read it or not doesn’t change anything. If Jiang Wan Ning wants you to know, even if you burn the letter, she’ll find another way."

Fu Chenlie corrected her, "The letter was given by Xu Tong."

Hearing this, Wen Ran glanced at him.

His instinctive remark suddenly made her feel—

Jiang Wan Ning still held a certain place in Fu Chenlie’s heart. Compared to her, Mrs. Fu, Jiang Wan Ning, the ex-girlfriend, was more trustworthy to him. That’s why he defended Jiang Wan Ning after her words.

As if thinking she misunderstood something, he spoke again, "Xu Tong said Wan Ning tore it up. She didn’t want to see a friend sad in vain, so she taped it back together, and in the end, it came into my hands."

Wen Ran twitched her lips.

Jiang Wan Ning’s methods were indeed brilliant, using Xu Tong as an intermediary to relay the message, thus preserving her reputation while also influencing and shaking Fu Chenlie’s resolve to sever ties with her.

"No matter what, if you want to read it, just read it."

"After attending Jinglun and Ms. Jiang’s engagement party, we’ll read it together."

She tilted her head, staring at him, "Together?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

He curled his lips, "You’re my wife. I don’t want you to have a knot in your heart because of Wan Ning. Reading it together, at least you’ll know everything."

Wen Ran nodded, considering it as her agreement.

She didn’t know how to interpret Fu Chenlie’s way of resolving the matter.

What he said was, of course, part of the reason.

But there was another reason—

If she also read it, and as Mrs. Fu, she felt it was understandable, whether to make amends or get entangled, he could boldly rekindle his connection with Jiang Wan Ning.

Whenever it came to matters involving Jiang Wan Ning, Wen Ran always felt like she was undergoing a trial.

After discussing the issue, the rest of the journey was quiet in the car.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the exam site. Wen Ran unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car. After saying goodbye to Fu Chenlie, she entered the exam hall with what she needed for the exam.

Just like in the morning, Fu Chenlie waited for her to go inside before leaving.

He dialed Lu Jinglun’s number.

When the call connected, Lu Jinglun’s voice came through first, "The engagement party doesn’t start until tonight. Why call so early?"

"Where are you?"

"At home."

Fu Chenlie sneered lightly, "As Ms. Jiang’s future fiancé, don’t you need to prepare at the venue?"
