My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 872: I Was In A Contract Marriage With Zhou Yao

“But…”

“Older Brother, you are very clear about the circumstances right now. The Leng family is in trouble. If you are going to intervene in my matters, not only would you not be able to save me, but you would pull yourself into this also. When that happens, what will the Leng family, Dad, and Xiaotao do? Older Brother, removing my name from the family registry is no big deal. In the future, would I not be your younger sister anymore?”

“Zhiyuan, you will forever be Older Brother’s younger sister, Father’s good daughter!” Leng Hao grabbed Leng Zhiyuan’s hand tightly and said, “But if I ignore you and do not care about you, I am unable to do that at all, I…”

“Older Brother, do you still not know what kind of person your younger sister is? Since I have prepared an escape route for the Leng family, then I definitely would have prepared a route for myself too. I would not give up on myself.”

Leng Hao’s eyes lit up as he said, “Zhiyuan, you…”

Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head and looked over at Leng Hao. With a smile on her face, she said, “Believe me.”

The siblings had a bond thicker than blood throughout these years. They were also buddies on the battlefield. They trusted and had an incredible chemistry with one another. Leng Hao was worried about his younger sister, but his younger sister was right. He had to protect his father and protect the Leng family. He could not let his younger sister down.

Leng Hao nodded his head and chose to believe her.

Leng Zhiyuan had a comforted smile on her face.

At this moment, Ye Xiaotao could no longer hold herself back. She was unable to control herself anymore. “Older Sister Leng, I still do not understand this, but you don’t have to worry. I will definitely have my father help. My father is very powerful, and he will definitely save Older Sister Leng. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Ye Xiaotao was confident as she patted her chest.

As she looked at Ye Xiaotao’s small face that was naïve and pure, Leng Zhiyuan was suddenly in a good mood as she said, “Xiao Tao, you don’t have to do anything at all. As long as you take care of the baby well, everything will be okay.”

As she spoke, she stretched her hand out to touch Ye Xiaotao’s stomach. It had only been two months. Her stomach had yet to show, but there was already a small life growing inside.

It was so magical.

Leng Zhiyuan held Leng Hao’s large hand and placed it on Ye Xiaotao’s stomach as she said, “Older Brother, both you and Xiao Tao have to be well.”

This was the first time Leng Hao touched Ye Xiaotao’s stomach. Both of them looked at one another before they turned their heads away at the same time. They still did not like one another.

“Older Brother, how is the Zhou family doing?”

Upon bringing up this topic, Leng Hao’s expressions got even more serious. He took his own hand back and said, “Zhiyuan, you are the daughter in law of the Zhou family. You are in trouble now, and those enemies of the Zhou family have taken this chance to attack them. They will not give up unless they pull the Zhou family down. This has stirred up too much attention. I do not know how the Zhou family will deal with this.”

How would they deal with this?

Leng Zhiyuan laughed. The Zhou family was faced with enemies from all corners right now. They could not take action. The moment they did, there would be evidence on paper.

“Older Brother, both you and Xiao Tao should go back. Remember this: no matter what rumours you hear, you don’t have to show up or intervene. Take care of Dad properly. The Leng family is relying on you.”

“Okay.” Leng Hao nodded his head.

…

Leng Zhiyuan spent one night in the jail cell. It was quiet. She could not see anyone and also could not hear any news. She was not worried at all, and more than anything, her inner heart was extremely calm.

She was the female lead in this show, and she could not take action right now. Others would take action on their own. This was a good chance. She could have a look at others’ true intentions from the inside.

The next morning, there was another guest. Han Xuan came over again.

Han Xuan saw her seated quietly in the corner and was extremely furious before she said, “Miss Leng, you are still able to keep calm? The Zhou family is already in deep trouble right now, and Uncle Zhou was asked to go on leave this morning!”

Leng Zhiyuan raised her head. She saw that Han Xuan was furious and slowly curled the corners of her lips up. She spat out a few words, “Miss Han, then what do you hope for me to do?”

“You!”

“Miss Han, you have seen it. I am in jail right now. It is hard for me to protect myself. When the Zhou family is in trouble, why did you come looking for me first? Could Miss Han be so sure that I have a solution to save the Zhou family?”

Han Xuan’s face got a little pale. Leng Zhiyuan’s gaze was quietly fixed on her face. Her beautiful grey eyes were extremely cold, and they were sparkling with a sharp glow in them, and it was just as if she could look through her with one glance.

“Hmph, I really feel so unworthy for Older Brother Zhou!” Han Xuan left with one sentence and walked off.

Leng Zhiyuan looked at Han Xuan’s back profile, and the corners of his lips were curled up into a cold smile.

At this moment, a figure barged into Leng Zhiyuan’s vision. Someone else came.

This time…it was Ye Ziyi.

Ye Ziyi headed over to her side. Han Xuan walked off into the other direction. Leng Zhiyuan looked at the both of them. As they brushed past one another, they looked at one another. They looked at one another very normally. Because of the battle on the base, Ye Ziyi nodded his head politely at her, and Han Xuan seemed to have some bad feelings for him. Her face was extremely awkward, and she left quickly.

Very quickly, Ye Ziyi walked over to the jail cell.

“Zhiyuan, are you still okay?” Ye Ziyi raised his eyebrows, and his expressions were nervous and worried.

Leng Zhiyuan stood up and came over to Ye Ziyi’s side. She nodded her head and said, “I am still okay.”

“Zhiyuan, I have heard about what happened to you. You don’t have to worry. I will definitely try my best to help you. You are here. I will think of a solution for the Leng family.

“Director Ye.” Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of her lips up and said, “The Leng family will be fine. I have already prepared for it beforehand. I have also informed my older brother already. No matter what happens, he will not show up.”

Ye Ziyi froze for a moment, but he had a smile on his face very quickly as he said, “That’s great then. I was originally worried about that, and now, I can heave a sigh of relief.”

“Director Ye, no matter what happens, thank you,” Leng Zhiyuan said sincerely.

Ye Ziyi shook his head and said, “Zhiyuan, although the Leng family is fine, the Zhou family… I am afraid that the Zhou family is really unable to make it through this…”

“The Zhou family will also be fine.”

“Zhiyuan, you mean…”

“Director Ye, there is something that you might not know yet. I was in a…contract marriage with Zhou Yao.”

“What do you mean?”

“The marriage certificate that I had with Zhou Yao was fake. At that time, both of our families were forcing us in a hurry. I reached an agreement with him privately that we would have a fake marriage for three months, and it is really a coincidence that our contract ended a few days ago, so now, I do not have any relationship with Zhou Yao or the Zhou family.”

Ye Ziyi froze again, and his eyes were bright as he looked over at Leng Zhiyuan and said, “Zhiyuan, you actually were in a fake marriage with Major General Zhou?”

“Yeah, that’s right, Director Ye. Can I ask you to help me with something?”

“Please do.”

“I will need to ask you to help me spread this piece of news. When this news is out, people will go over to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check, and following that, I believe that the Zhou family would know what to do next.”

Ye Ziyi hesitated for a moment, and he seemed to be contemplating.

At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan stretched her hand out, and she held Ye Ziyi’s hand as she said, “Director Ye, things are already like this. I do not know who else I can ask. I can only think of you. You can definitely do it right. I believe in you.”

As he looked at Leng Zhiyuan’s soft and exquisite features, Ye Ziyi nodded his head and said, “Okay, I will go and take care of business.”
