My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 843 843: Zhang Yan Initiates the Invitation

Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun quickly smiled and cupped their hands to express their gratitude.

Although they couldn't elevate the Zhang Family to the ranks of the first-class families, joining the ranks of the second-class families was still considered a decent reward.

Zheng Bin immediately offered his congratulations with a smile, "Congratulations, Patriarch Zhang!"

The other three patriarchs also offered their congratulations.

"Congratulations to Patriarch Zhang, and congratulations to the Zhang Family for entering the ranks of second-class families!"

"From now on, we'll be families of the same level, cooperating and seeking development together."

Zhang Dehou beamed, "The Zhang Family has just entered the ranks of second-class families, and we will need the support of you patriarchs in the future."

After exchanging courtesies, without lingering too long, Luo Yuanming was the first to get up and leave.

The other patriarchs also stood up to leave the Zhang Family, leaving only the Zhu Family patriarch still present.

Zhu Jianming said with a smile, "Old Master Zhang, now that both our families are second-class families."

"Shouldn't your granddaughter Zhang Yan's marriage to my son Zhu Feng be put on the agenda? It would be more beneficial for unity and stability if we became in-laws."

Zhang Dehou chuckled in response, "That's certainly the reasoning, but it ultimately depends on the intentions of the young people."

"I don't have any objections; as long as they confirm their relationship, we can proceed with the wedding at any time."

"Alright." Zhu Jianming nodded with a smile, "In that case, please make sure to come to my Chen Family for a wedding drink, hahaha."

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "If this really comes to fruition, I will certainly be there to offer my congratulations and enjoy the wedding drink."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhu Jianming stood up with a smile and left.

Chen Xuan continued to sit there, looking at Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun, "The outsiders have left, now it's just us."

"Regarding Zhang Yan and Zhu Feng, I won't offer much input; you should make your own decision."

The two slightly nodded, not daring to make a statement easily in front of Chen Xuan.

"Furthermore, after taking over Xu Family's assets, although the Zhang Family has entered the ranks of second-class families, its foundation is certainly unstable."

"In such circumstances, you must act low-key. Don't think that joining the ranks of second-class families means you can disregard other families."

Chen Xuan emphatically warned, "Especially the other four second-class families. If the Zhang Family acts too high-profile and clashes with them, it will have adverse effects."

Zhang Jun forced a smile and said, "Chen Xuan, we understand your point, and we won't deliberately stand out."

"But then again, if the Zhang Family were really hit, you wouldn't just stand by, would you? Hehehe."

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "That's true, but you must understand, I can't stay in Jiangnan City forever."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I may leave in a short while."

Ah?

Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun both looked shocked, "You're leaving?"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "That's right! I'm sure you all know in your hearts why I came to Jiangnan City."

"And now, my matters here are almost resolved. Staying longer would yield no new discoveries and have no meaning."

"As for the Luo Family, Zheng Family, Zhu Family, Chang Family, and Zhao Family, they are only associating with the Zhang Family because of me."

"Once I leave, if something truly happens, it's uncertain if they will extend a hand to the Zhang Family."

The father and son were silent, forced to contemplate this issue.

Chen Xuan slowly stood up, "Don't aim too high. In such circumstances, forming an alliance with the Zhu Family through marriage isn't a bad choice."

"Of course, the final choice is still yours, or rather dependent on Zhang Yan's wishes. As I said, I won't interfere, and you don't need to consider my opinion."

After saying this, he bade them farewell and left the Zhang Family.

Zhang Dehou and Zhang Jun remained silent for a long time, slowly firming their resolve to do their best to facilitate the marriage between Zhang Yan and Zhu Feng.

That evening, the father and son began persuading Zhang Yan to agree to the marriage.

Upon hearing that Chen Xuan was also in favor, Zhang Yan felt completely despondent.

"Don't say anything more, I'm going to meet with Chen Xuan tomorrow to make my decision."

With a resolute look in her eyes, Zhang Yan planned to make one last effort, even if it meant using a few tricks.

The next morning, Zhang Yan took the initiative to find Chen Xuan, with a hint of shyness, "Brother Chen Xuan, can I talk to you alone?"

Chen Xuan looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, sensing that something was off about her today, and nodded slightly, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

"Accompany me for a walk outside, we can talk as we walk," Zhang Yan said softly.

Following Zhang Yan's request, Chen Xuan drove her to the Artificial Lake Park.

As they walked along the shaded path, Chen Xuan deliberately kept a certain distance from Zhang Yan.

"Brother Chen Xuan, I'm about to marry Zhu Feng, what is your stance?" Zhang Yan suddenly asked, looking at him with affectionate eyes.
