Chapter 1214: Chapter 1241: Exposing the True Colors 26

"Seized?"

Jian Xiong sat upright in surprise, actually feeling a bit worried for Nianyang. "What happened to the Chu girl?"

Zhang Mingyue looked shocked, "The people from the Drug Administration found a large quantity of maca in Miss Chu’s store, so Miss Chu and her employees were taken away for investigation!"

Grandma Jian exclaimed, "Maca? That’s a harmful substance. The Chu girl is such a good person, she couldn’t possibly have done such a thing."

Mother Jian also thought it was impossible. Although she didn’t particularly like Nianyang, she believed that Nianyang was reliable.

"Could it be a misunderstanding? The Chu girl is so skilled in medicine; she wouldn’t do such a thing."

Jian Xiong frowned slightly and took out his phone, "Maybe I should call the Drug Administration..."

Zhang Mingyue didn’t expect the Jian family to side with Nianyang so much and felt a bit jealous, unhappily saying, "The Drug Administration found the maca there, how could it be a misunderstanding? Although I find it hard to believe, you never truly know someone. Maybe Miss Chu does have a problem? Grandpa, Grandma, you should stay out of it!"

Jian Xiong said, "The Chu girl saved your grandma, I believe she’s not that kind of person. She helped our family; how can we ignore her now?"

Zhang Mingyue pouted, "Grandpa, I’m not stopping you from helping her, but the Drug Administration is fair and honest. If this is truly a misunderstanding, Miss Chu will be fine."

"That’s true, but..."

"Grandpa, if Miss Chu really did something like this and you call them, the Drug Administration might overlook it because of you. Wouldn’t that be abusing your position?"

Zhang Mingyue spoke in a considerate tone towards Jian Xiong.

Jian Qingqing added fuel to the fire, "That’s right, Grandpa. You’re such a fair Leader. If this tarnishes your reputation, it could shake the country’s foundation, right?"

She deliberately elevated it to national importance, causing Jian Xiong to hesitate, as his position indeed made it difficult to interfere casually.

Father Jian and Mother Jian, hearing this, also felt Jian Qingqing and Zhang Mingyue had a point, and advised Jian Xiong to wait and see for a while.

Jian Xiong had no choice but to give up, figuring that if Chu Nianyang had done nothing wrong, everything would eventually turn out fine.

For the past two days, there had been no news from Nianyang, while Chu Zhan continued to call and text Shi Nuan.

[Nuannuan, it’s Chu Zhan]

[Nuannuan, please reply to me after seeing the text]

[Are you there? I have something important to say]

The messages sent disappeared like stones sinking into the sea, with Shi Nuan not replying at all.

Time flew by, and it quickly reached the end of the month.

Today was very important; it was not only the day Lu Xingshen and Shi Nuan decided to register their marriage, but also the day the Jian family announced Zhang Mingyue’s identity.

The troubling matters were to be resolved today. Lu Xingshen got up early in high spirits, donned his custom suit and pants, even shaved, and went coolly to knock on Shi Nuan’s door with the household registration booklet in hand.

Shi Nuan had not slept all night, as her phone continuously vibrated with a flood of messages from Chu Zhan.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her clear gaze somewhat blankly focusing on her ring finger, adorned with a sparkling diamond ring Lu Xingshen placed on it the day before.

Today she would become Lu Xingshen’s wife. How could she face contacting Chu Zhan again?
