What age are you in, and you’re still a traditional villain?

Chapter 523: The Remnants of the Shen Family (Seeking monthly tickets, reading and collection)
Jiangnan City, North Suburb, North Road 18th Street Cemetery.

Zhang Wan'er was walking on the stone well road of the cemetery, holding two bunches of yellow and white chrysanthemums. She walked very slowly and finally stopped in front of two tombstones deep in the cemetery.

This is the tombstone of her brother and sister-in-law.

Zhang Wan'er placed two bouquets of yellow and white chrysanthemums in front of the two tombstones respectively, took off her purple-framed sunglasses, looked at the photos and names on the tombstones, and memories of the past came to her mind.

"Brother, I'm here to see you."

Zhang Wan'er stood in front of the tombstone and said, "Don't blame that old man. From his perspective, you and your sister-in-law did betray the family, but you are my brother after all. So what if he betrayed the family? Even if he betrayed the family, he shouldn't have watched your sister-in-law die outside without saving her. Don't worry, I will not forgive him."

Zhang Wan'er said a lot of things in front of the tombstone, all things that could not be said to outsiders, as if only here she was a woman who needed protection, rather than a strong woman.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Wan'er's voice suddenly became soft: "Brother, Qiqi has grown up. She is very beautiful. Her eyes and mouth are like sister-in-law. But this girl doesn't want to fall in love. No matter what you say, she won't listen."

That’s right, Zhang Qiqi is her brother’s daughter.

To be precise, she is an illegitimate child. The Zhang family did not recognize her sister-in-law, so naturally they would not recognize Zhang Qiqi as their granddaughter. In fact, the Zhang family did not know the specific identity of Zhang Qiqi. The Zhang family always thought that Zhang Wan'er adopted Zhang Qiqi as a way to reject the marriage arranged for her by the family.

However, Zhang Wan'er had no intention of letting Zhang Qiqi return to her ancestral home. The Zhang family was not worthy of Qiqi recognizing her ancestors, as her mother was indirectly killed by the Zhang family.

If the old man hadn't watched them die without rescuing them, Qiqi's mother wouldn't have died, and her brother wouldn't have died either. It was all because of the old man's indifference to the rescue.

"Brother, sister-in-law, the remnants of the Shen family are back. They might harm Qiqi. I don't know what to do. Should I send Qiqi back to the Zhang family? But if I don't send Qiqi to the Zhang family, I'm worried that I won't be able to protect her. If she is hurt by that group of people, I..."

Zhang Wan'er looked into the distance and thought of Cao Jinyan. It was the remnants of the Shen family who attacked Qiqi, but it was he who protected Qiqi.

Thinking of Cao Jinyan, Zhang Wan'er still felt a little guilty.

He tried his best to protect Qiqi, but she lied to him. The last time they talked on the phone, she said that she left the Zhang family with her parents. In fact, it was not the case. After her eldest brother died, she secretly ran away from the Zhang family by herself, and her father was the head of the Zhang family.

"Brother, sister-in-law, the remnants of the Shen family have already attacked Qiqi at school, but don't worry, someone saved her. This is a life-saving grace, right? How do you think I should thank him?"

Zhang Wan'er kept on rambling: "That man is the richest man in Jiangnan. It's definitely not enough to thank him with money. He is much richer than me, but what else do I have besides money?"

She pursed her lips and fell into deep thought, then suddenly said, "That guy isn't very old, he seems to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six, just a few years older than Qiqi. How about I bring them together? I just don't know what he's like, so let's wait until we meet him and get to know him better."

The cemetery was quiet. Although it was noon, it was not a holiday or a day for worship, so few people came to the cemetery.

Zhang Wan'er said this softly, talking about some trivial matters. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a man coming not far from her. The man was wearing a black windbreaker and had red hair. He was wearing a big black mask, so his specific appearance could not be seen.

The man stopped in front of a tombstone. Instead of taking flowers, he lit a few cigarettes and placed them in front of the tombstone.

Strange, so strange.

How could someone come to a cemetery to pay respects without bringing flowers, but instead using cigarettes to pay respects to their family members? That's too abnormal.

Zhang Wan'er couldn't help but take a few more glances, and happened to see that the tombstone the man was worshiping was an empty tombstone with no name engraved on it. No... not just a name, there was not a single word on the tombstone.

He was worshipping an empty tombstone.

Zhang Wan'er couldn't help but look at the man again. The man's behavior was too abnormal, which reminded him of what Cao Jinyan said. Someone might approach her recently.

is it him?
In the past, Zhang Wan'er would not speculate about a stranger with malicious intent, but Zhang Qiqi was hunted down by the remnants of the Shen family at school. The remnants of the Shen family are back, which forced her to be extremely vigilant.

There is no inscription on the tombstone.

Who would have no words on their tombstone? Who would be so shameful after death? Are they worried that others would know who the owner of the tomb is?

Could it be... the tomb of the Shen family?

Are you worried that the name engraved on the tombstone will be discovered by people from the four hidden families and the tomb will be destroyed?

Zhang Wan'er felt that it was very likely.

If he was not a member of the Shen family, who in any normal family would erect a monument without engraving any words on it? Do you think you are Wu Zetian and erected a monument without any words on it for yourself?
Thinking of this, Zhang Wan'er felt murderous intent in her heart, and she was basically certain that the red-haired man was a member of the Shen family. Since he failed to attack Qiqi, was he going to attack her now?

Are there other remnants of the Shen family around?

Just as Zhang Wan'er was thinking this, the man finished his worship, raised his head and took a deep breath of the cemetery air, then turned and left. Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Zhang Wan'er.

left?
Zhang Wan'er turned around and looked at the man's back as he left, wondering, isn't he going to do anything to her?

Could it be that I was worrying too much?
Just when Zhang Wan'er let down her guard, she suddenly discovered that the man's footsteps seemed messy, but in fact they were orderly, and he walked very straight with each step.

That man is a warrior!
But he was deliberately hiding his identity as a warrior.

If Zhang Wan'er hadn't observed her, she would probably have been deceived by the man. But why didn't the remnants of the Shen family attack her?

Could it be that... the remnants of the Shen family have changed their strategy?

Zhang Wan'er suddenly thought of a possibility.

If Cao Jinyan hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have deliberately observed the man, and wouldn't have noticed the man's hidden identity as a warrior.

But the man will be remembered because of the nameless tombstone.

So it’s…playing hard to get?
The remnants of the Shen family wanted to get close to me, establish contact with me, and then attack me... Zhang Wan'er thought of this possibility, otherwise it couldn't explain why she had just returned from abroad to sweep the grave, and why she came to sweep the grave in the middle of the day, and someone else happened to come to sweep the grave as well.

Normal people would not come to visit the graves at noon.

This man deliberately appeared in front of her and waited for her to come and sweep the tomb.

Zhang Wan'er said that she had seen through everything.
