Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Tormented Love Triangle

Early morning.

Sunlight spilled across the land.

Used to morning exercises, Xu Zhi Rou was already standing in the small garden.

"Up so early?"

Just as she was warming up.

Lin Fan’s voice came through.

"I’m used to it from the military camp, I can’t sleep without reveille anymore."

Turning her head and seeing Lin Fan that moment.

Xu Zhi Rou’s face couldn’t help but turn a shade of red.

Having returned last night, she had stealthily made sure there was no one under the bed.

Only then had she felt relieved.

"Have you noticed that Meng Yao has been acting strangely since she came back?"

Lin Fan walked up to Xu Zhi Rou with a smile.

"I hadn’t noticed at first... but it wasn’t until last night... that I realized, but what exactly is the reason?"

As Xu Zhi Rou remembered last night’s conversation.

Her face reddened even more.

"Obviously, something must have happened in that hour when you left the warship."

Lin Fan smiled enigmatically, and Xu Zhi Rou suddenly understood.

"Lin Fan, are you saying that my dad... pressured Sister Meng Yao?"

"Other than that, I really can’t think of any other reason, so I’m also planning to ask him in person."

Lin Fan rubbed his nose.

Right now, everything was speculation, without any concrete evidence.

"Lin Fan, if that’s really the case, I’ll apologize on his behalf, maybe he just values talent too much and that’s why he did something so rash... Don’t worry... I will absolutely not interfere with you and Sister Meng Yao, she’s so kind and deserves someone like you."

Xu Zhi Rou spoke hastily, "How about this, I’ll take my leave with Sister Meng Yao later, and once I’m gone, there should be no more problems."

"What are you talking about, leaving? We finally have a vacation, you must stay and have a good time this time."

Lin Fan said with a shake of his head and a smile.

You could tell from the shopping yesterday.

Xu Zhi Rou was genuinely happy.

He knew too well how suffocating life in the military camp could be.

At the bloom of her youth, it was rare for her to have a chance to go out and enjoy herself.

It would be wrong to let this small issue ruin everything.

"But... I’m worried Sister Meng Yao might be overthinking things... I’ve never thought of replacing her... because she really is very kind."

Xu Zhi Rou pursed her lips.

The her who had always been decisive and resolute now seemed somewhat lost.

"She is kind, and so are you. Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter. You just make sure you stay and enjoy your time off. Don’t worry about anything else."

Lin Fan patted her shoulder.

This minor issue wasn’t even worth his concern.

"But... you won’t go and bother my dad, will you?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan anxiously.

"You needn’t worry about my matters with the old squad leader, your only task now is to enjoy your holiday," Lin Fan reassured.

Naturally, Lin Fan wouldn’t let Prince Zhen Nan off the hook.

But now was not the time.

As the two were chatting idly.

Ning Mengyao, who usually loved to sleep in, came out.

She caught sight of the two standing there.

"Why are you up so early?"

Lin Fan asked curiously looking at Ning Mengyao.

Her eyes were still a little swollen, looking like she hadn’t woken up yet.

"It’s all because of Ning Bingcai, the guy who was frantically calling me so early in the morning."

Ning Mengyao sighed helplessly.

She turned in bed several times last night and couldn’t sleep well.

To her dismay, she was woken up by Ning Bingcai’s phone call as soon as the day broke.

He demanded that she go to the company to stamp a document immediately.

Otherwise, he would bring the contract to her home to find her.

"Seems like he’s quite urgent."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

He was desperate to get that piece of land.

And he was willing to give up the continually rising stocks.

Clearly, the offer was something he couldn’t refuse.

"The legal and financial departments already worked overtime to review all the procedures and terms last night and didn’t find any issues, but I still feel like there’s something fishy going on. Why don’t you come with me to the company, just to be safe?"

Ning Mengyao had already reviewed all the paperwork and found no issues.

But she still felt uneasy.

"Sure, I’d like to see how embarrassing Prince Zhen Nan looks when he’s completely flustered!"

Lin Fan smiled lightly.

He headed towards me.

"Zhi Rou, why don’t you look around on your own this morning? I’ll call you at lunchtime and we can eat together,"

Ning Meng Yao also added a word.

She immediately followed suit.

Only Xu Zhi Rou was left standing there.

Looking somewhat bewildered at their retreating figures.

It had to be said that the handsome man and beautiful woman truly matched each other well.

"Ding ling ling..."

Just as she was still a bit dazed.

Her phone suddenly rang.

"Dad, I was just about to look for you!"

Seeing that the caller ID was indeed her father.

Xu Zhi Rou hurriedly pressed the answer button.

Because of Lin Fan’s matter, she had been meaning to ask her father for clarity.

"I’m at Mr. Zhou’s house, come here," he said.

...

"Now, there are no problems with the procedures, right?"

Ning Bingcai sat in the meeting room.

It was early in the morning, not yet office hours.

But he had already summoned the vice president of finance and the vice president of legal affairs.

At the same time, the third-party institution’s appraisal report was also present.

"Indeed, there are no issues now."

Looking at all the procedural documents, which were now complete.

Even if he felt there was something fishy, Ning Meng Yao really had no reason to refuse.

"Then let’s sign it as soon as possible, so as not to waste everyone’s time," he said, suppressing a smile.

Ning Bingcai pushed the documents to Ning Meng Yao.

As soon as she signed, the equity swap agreement would take effect.

Ning Meng Yao, holding the pen, glanced at Lin Fan beside her.

Seeing him nod, she then signed her name.

"That’s the right attitude!"

Ning Bingcai, eager to grab the contract.

However, he didn’t expect Lin Fan’s movements to be faster than his own.

He directly seized the contract in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Ning Bingcai asked in astonishment, looking at Lin Fan.

Fearing that he would make further complications.

"I just want to remind you," Lin Fan said, holding the contract with a smile.

"Throughout history, every traitor or lackey has met a bad end. You’d better use your head when you act. I don’t care about your life or death, but I do not want to see grandfather saddened."

"Don’t spout nonsense here. I’m only steering clear of you to prevent you from ruining the Ning Family," Ning Bingcai retorted, refusing to admit anything.

His voice laced with frustration and rage.

"If that’s the case, all the better," Lin Fan said coldly, tossing the contract in front of him.

With that said, the rest was up to him.

"Hmph!"

Unwilling to waste any more words with Lin Fan,

Ning Bingcai, gripping the contract, left the meeting room.

In his view, a smooth path lay ahead.

"Do you know what he’s aiming for?" Ning Meng Yao asked Lin Fan, puzzled.

He seemed to know some insider information.

"Not sure yet, but people like him are up to no good. But at least he won’t bother you anymore. That’s a silver lining, isn’t it?" Lin Fan replied indifferently with a smile.

"I hope so," Ning Meng Yao sighed, standing up. "Don’t leave, wait here for a bit. There’s a document that needs your signature."

"What document?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"Share transfer agreement!" Ning Meng Yao said, stepping out of the meeting room.

After her conversation with Xu Zhi Rou the previous night.

This was her final tenderness towards him.
