To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Just then, the phone rang!

Zhang Nan glanced at the caller ID; it was his father.

"Hello, Dad?" Zhang Nan's tone was somewhat impatient!

"Nan'er! Come back immediately!" Zhang's father's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, his voice eight octaves louder than usual. "Something terrible has happened!"

Zhang Nan frowned: "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? I have things to do!"

"What are you so busy with! The Zhao family! The Zhao family's daughter!" Zhang's father interrupted him, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. "They contacted me, saying they want to see you! They say they have something important to discuss with you in person!"

Zhang Nan suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"The Zhao family? Which Zhao family?"

"Which other Zhao family could it be? The Zhao family of Jiangcheng!" Mr. Zhang stamped his feet anxiously on the other end of the phone. "It's the Zhao family of the Zhao Group! Their young lady specifically asked to see you, Nan'er, when did you get involved with the Zhao family?"

Zhang Nan held her phone, her mind racing.

The Zhao family's daughter.

Zhao Wan'er.

Could it be that the news that he had his father deliberately spread at the villa halfway up the mountain has finally paid off?

Ever since he accidentally learned that Zhao Wan'er was looking for her savior, he had been plotting something.

He overheard Zhao Wan'er and Jiang Jinhuan's conversation that day.

Zhao Wan'er didn't seem sure who saved her; she mistook Jiang Jinhuan for that person.

However, Jiang Jin Huan explicitly denied it.

Upon receiving the news, he instructed his father to release information that he had saved someone at the villa on the hillside, though it was all speculation.

The rest can be left to others to figure out.

He never imagined that the scheme he had casually set up would yield such unexpected results.

If I could get close to the Zhao family, would I be able to break free from the threats and control of the people behind me? Would I be able to easily target Jiang Jin Huan?

No, he should even thank Jiang Jinhuan. Zhao Wan'er is no less capable than Chen Ling Shuang, and the Zhao family's wealth is far beyond what the Chen family, a mere nouveau riche, can match.

Zhang Nan's breathing suddenly became a little tight.

He quickly walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and gave them his home address.

After getting into the back seat, he lowered his voice and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Dad, listen to me. If the Zhao family asks about the time you fell into the water, you must insist that I was the one who saved him!"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Nan'er, you need to think this through. Although this matter might connect you with the Zhao family, the consequences if it gets out are something we can't afford to bear!"

"They can't find out!" Zhang Nan's voice was tinged with madness. "Don't worry, the Zhao family's daughter didn't even get a clear look at that person's face."

The Zhao family's daughter isn't married yet. Do you know what that means? If I insist I saved her, and she believes me, our Zhao family will truly rise to prominence! Dad, think about it carefully. This is a golden opportunity for our Zhang family to soar to new heights!

Mr. Zhang remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.

Are you sure?

"I'm sure!" Zhang Nan gripped her phone tightly. "Dad, you don't need to say anything, I'll handle it."

Just pretend you know nothing. Say that I came back soaking wet that day, and when they asked where I'd been, I didn't tell them. You said you knew nothing else.

Mr. Zhang was silent for a few seconds, then finally sighed: "Alright, do it. Just keep that in mind."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Nan leaned back in the taxi, looking completely deranged.

If he could convince Zhao Wan'er that he was the one who saved her from the lake that day, he could not only obtain the Zhao family's resources, but also rightfully pursue Zhao Wan'er.

He could tell that Zhao Wan'er had feelings for him, her savior.

I must make good use of this point to successfully win over Zhao Wan'er.

By then, what will Jiang Jinhuan be? What will Chen Lingshuang be? Zhang Nan will be the ultimate winner.

"Intercepting, hehe, that's what I'm best at. I don't care who saved Zhao Wan'er back then, from now on that person can only be me!"

But before that, I need to use that guy to keep the Qin family and Jiang Jinhuan occupied. As long as the Qin family can't trace me back to me and Jiang Jinhuan can't do anything to me, I'll have more time to take down Zhao Wan'er!

The taxi stopped by the roadside, and Zhang Nan paid the fare and hurried home.

When I opened the door, Zhang's father was sitting in the living room with two cups of tea on the coffee table in front of him, as if he had just seen someone off.

"Where is he?" Zhang Nan asked.

"They just left." Mr. Zhang stood up, his face grave. "An old butler from the Zhao family came by to confirm your information. He said Miss Zhao would like to meet you tomorrow."

Zhang Nan took a deep breath and a determined smile appeared on her face.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Mr. Zhang said, "You need to think this through. If she finds out you lied to her, the consequences might not be good!"

Zhang Nan said, "Dad, don't worry. Using my status as her savior, I can easily get close to Zhao Wan'er. Once she becomes my woman, even if she finds out I wasn't the one who saved her, what can she do? By then, she'll probably already have a child. Will she really abandon the child then?"

Zhang's father's eyes flickered. Thinking of the benefits of getting close to the Zhao family, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "Alright, let's do it that way. You'd better win over Zhao Wan'er as soon as possible. Even if you don't have a child, if you sleep with her, she won't do anything to you in the end! The Zhao family really needs a son-in-law right now!"

Meanwhile, the Zhao family...

Zhao Wan'er was listening to the housekeeper's report upon his return.

"So, the other person did indeed save someone who fell into the water that day!"

"The Zhang family head said that his son's clothes were soaked when he returned that day, and when asked why, the other party didn't say! But based on their words, it's clear that the other party did save someone that day!"

Zhao Wan'er tapped the armrest lightly with her finger: "Okay, I understand!"

After the butler left, Zhao Wan'er wondered, "Could it be that the person who saved me was really that Zhang family member? Not Jiang Jinhuan?"

Zhao Wan'er unconsciously thought of that day, of that person's profile, his straight nose and thick eyebrows.

She looked so much like Jiang Jinhuan, but she didn't really know the full picture of him. That's why she hesitated and wasn't sure when Jiang Jinhuan denied it.

However, Jiang Jinhuan has now explicitly denied saving anyone and has never even been to the villa on the hillside, so this person must not be Jiang Jinhuan.

"The Zhang family? If they have a respectable family background and good character, that seems like a good idea! I'm looking forward to meeting them tomorrow!" Zhao Wan'er's lips curled up slightly.

The next day, Zhang Nan put on her most expensive suit and went to the meeting place early.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wan'er dressed up a little and drove towards the agreed location.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon coffee shop, Zhao Wan'er went inside.

His gaze turned toward the designated spot.

There were already people waiting there.
