The Sweetest Marriage (2)

Ch. 218: He Saved Someone

The night deepened, and once they confirmed that Chen Li was fine, the group of visitors took their leave.

Little Biscuit cherished the drawing Chen Li had given him. When it was time to leave, he bid a reluctant farewell to Chen Li and made plans to visit again.

Jiang Ye didn't intend to leave just yet. It happened that there were some matters regarding the A Zone project in Shanghai that needed to be discussed with Wei Chen. After dinner, they opened a video call and held a brief online meeting with Wei Yan, who was in Shanghai.

Lan Xiping was with Jiang Ye, and since Jiang Ye didn't leave, Lan Xiping naturally stayed back to wait for him.

The living room was occupied by Jiang Ye and Wei Chen for their meeting. Chen Li glanced at them and invited Lan Xiping to his studio.

Though Wei Chen was engaged in the conversation with Jiang Ye and Wei Yan, he still kept an eye on Chen Li. When he saw that Chen Li had invited someone he had just met into the studio, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It's important to note that besides himself and Little Biscuit, Chen Li's studio wasn't open to just anyone.

Though Wei Chen was inwardly surprised, he maintained his composure. He turned his attention back to the discussion about the A Zone project.

As expected, Wei Chen had judged correctly. Wei Yan was competent, and with his extensive travels to various countries over the years, his perspective was undoubtedly broad. This was evident in his contributions to this project.

The project was progressing smoothly and steadily. There were challenges along the way, but Wei Yan had managed to solve them, and he didn't feel the need to inform Wei Chen and Jiang Ye.

After Grandpa Wei reviewed the progress of the project a few times and realized he couldn't intervene effectively, he gradually eased his concerns. He decided not to get involved in the construction of the project in A Zone anymore and handed full authority over to Wei Yan.

The Chen family wasn't being honest and had made many moves behind the scenes. However, Wei Yan quietly thwarted all their attempts.

Wei Yan was using his abilities to tell Wei Chen that his initial decision to trust him was the right one.

This brief meeting lasted half an hour. Jiang Ye trusted Wei Chen and, by extension, the person Wei Chen had selected. Given the results they were seeing now, Jiang Ye wasn't very surprised.

After half an hour, the video meeting concluded, and Jiang Ye took his leave.

"Xiping, we're leaving," Jiang Ye called into the studio. In a short while, Lan Xiping emerged from the studio.

It was unclear what Lan Xiping and Chen Li had discussed inside, but when they came out, both of them had smiling eyes.

Wei Chen understood Chen Li. He could sense that Chen Li was relaxed at this moment and had no guard up.

Quietly seeing Lan Xiping and Jiang Ye off, Chen Li waved goodbye to Lan Xiping when he left.

After closing the door, Wei Chen looked at Chen Li, his eyes holding a hint of melancholy he hadn't even noticed.

"Li Li, is he okay?" Wei Chen didn't feel threatened. His Li Li was like a blank canvas, unaffected by the world's complexities. His likes and dislikes were direct and straightforward. So, Wei Chen could immediately tell that his Li Li liked this young man named Lan Xiping. It was a trait of Chen Li that Wei Chen easily recognized. Chen Li's fondness for Lan Xiping was simple, akin to how he liked Little Biscuit and Zhuge Yu.
