Chapter 111

Tang Shihan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What happened to him?"

Wen Zong sighed and said, "It's nothing. Today is your joyous day; I don't want to dampen your spirits. Contact me after the wedding, Ms. Tang."

With that, Wen Zong turned and walked away without looking back, leaving Tang Shihan standing there in a daze.

What did he mean by that? Could Ye Fengyun be hiding some unknown secret?

His words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into Tang Shihan's heart.

Wen Zong was also a seasoned player in matters of the heart; his artful teasing was executed with masterful finesse. With just a few words, he stirred Tang Shihan's emotions.

After all, Tang Shihan was still young and inexperienced in matters of love, so she was easily ensnared by Wen Zong’s subtle manipulation without realizing it.

After the wedding, Tang Shihan’s status within her family soared. Her father, Tang Dahai, walked with newfound pride and confidence, and relatives who had once been indifferent now showed concern and warmth.

Yet Tang Shihan had no interest in such matters; she devoted all her energy to her work.

After all, this wedding had also bestowed upon her greater responsibilities. The cooperation among the four great families was now entrusted to her, symbolizing the imminent disruption of the longstanding balance of power. Resources would soon converge in one place, and the formation of a new conglomerate would naturally follow.

For centuries, the four great families had vied openly and covertly. This was the only opportunity to unite them into a single powerful alliance.

Thus, this mission was extremely challenging, bearing heavily on the course of Yun Chuan City’s history.

That day, Tang Shihan visited Longhai Group and encountered Wen Zong in the lobby.

Seeing Tang Shihan, Wen Zong politely greeted, "Ms. Tang, congratulations on your wedding."

"Thank you," Tang Shihan replied with a faint smile, quickly asking about what he had mentioned before.

Wen Zong sighed and said, "Actually, I have no intention of ruining your family. I just truly don’t want to see such an outstanding woman as yourself deceived by a scoundrel."

"A scoundrel?" Tang Shihan looked confused. "I don't understand what you mean."

Hesitating, Wen Zong produced a photo. The background was awash with neon lights and revelry, clearly a nightclub scene.

In the photo, Tang Shihan recognized Ye Fengyun, weaving through the dancing crowd, accompanied by a provocatively dressed woman.

Due to the lighting, the woman’s face was indistinct, but Ye Fengyun’s face was unmistakably clear.

Tang Shihan was stunned. She had never imagined Ye Fengyun would frequent nightclubs, let alone bring another woman with him.

She recalled that Ye Fengyun had indeed come home late a few days ago. At that thought, her heart sank.

Could it be that Ye Fengyun had truly betrayed her?

Seeing Tang Shihan’s troubled expression, Wen Zong hurried to console her. "Ms. Tang, don’t overthink it. Maybe that woman just looks like your husband."

Tang Shihan shook her head. "No, it’s him."

Her eyes reddened, and her body began to tremble.

"Ye Fengyun… he betrayed me."

"Ms. Tang, please calm down."

Grim with sorrow and anger, Tang Shihan clenched her teeth and turned to run away.

"Ms. Tang!" Wen Zong called after her, but she vanished from sight.

"Heh, such a naïve woman," Wen Zong muttered with a cold, triumphant smile.
