“Jiaxi, your brother has returned to China. The first thing he did upon his return was to visit Su Xiaoxiao’s grave.”

Seeing the incredulous look on Shan Jiaxi's face, Nangong Yi told her what he had found out without hiding anything.

If he hadn't seen Shan Jinxi at Su Xiaoxiao's grave, he wouldn't have been sure that the person who called out "Brother Jin" was that person.

The three of them fell silent.

Nangong Yi's face remained as cold as ever, but his clenched fists betrayed his true emotions; Huangfu Junhao frowned, and the worry on his face was clearly visible; Shan Jiaxi's expression turned ugly the moment he confirmed Su Xiaoxiao's identity, and the worry in his eyes was even more evident.

After a long while, Shan Jiaxi moved his lips and looked at Nangong Yi with a serious expression, saying, "Even if Su Xiaoxiao really becomes Su Xiaoxiao, you can't let my brother know about this, otherwise things will become very troublesome."

Nangong Yi raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

"Jiaxi, how much do you know? Tell me quickly!" Huangfu Junhao had witnessed Shan Jinxi's madness before, and he felt it wasn't worth it for Nangong Yi to get involved with that person for a woman.

After glancing at the two of them, Shan Jiaxi slowly said, "Not long before I inherited the Shan Group, I went to France to see my brother. I didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to be there too. She was like the mistress of the house in my brother's house, free to go wherever she wanted. The servants and bodyguards treated her with utmost respect. She wasn't surprised to see me, and even told me that my brother was in a meeting in the study..."

Although Shan Jinxi harbored no hostility towards Shan Jiaxi, he knew very well that in his brother's heart, he had long since become an outsider.

At that time, he sat in the living room for several hours waiting for Shan Jinxi to finish his meeting.

Seeing his pitiful state, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask him if he had come to France because of the matter of becoming the heir to the Shan Group.

Shan Jiaxi didn't expect her to know about this, so she simply nodded without hiding it. However, she said that Shan Jinxi would not inherit the Shan Group. If they insisted on leaving the position of president to him, then the Shan Group would no longer have a president.

Su Xiaoxiao's careless remark infuriated Shan Jiaxi, who had been waiting for a while. He glared at the arrogant woman in front of him with a grim expression and reprimanded her for meddling in the affairs of the Shan family.

Unexpectedly, his angry remark was overheard by Shan Jinxi, who was coming out of the study. He immediately kicked Shan Jiaxi out and ordered him not to enter the room.

Dan Jiaxi was stunned by his elder brother's order and had no idea what he had done to offend him. It was only after Su Xiaoxiao spoke up that his elder brother reluctantly allowed him to enter the house.

It was only that day that he learned that the JX Consortium founded by his elder brother was not an abbreviation of the name 'Jin Xi': J represents his elder brother Shan Jin Xi, and X represents the first letter of the character 'Xiao' in Su Xiao Xiao's name.

However, outsiders would not make this connection.

Afterwards, he cautiously asked Su Xiaoxiao if she would become his sister-in-law, because Shan Jinxi's affection for him had far exceeded his expectations.

But Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. She said that Shan Jinxi was like her own brother, the person she could trust most besides her grandfather. She also warned him not to say anything out of line.

Before returning to China, he was summoned to his elder brother's study for the first time. He thought his brother had changed his mind, but he didn't expect to be severely threatened.

Shan Jinxi told him not to speak carelessly after returning to China, and that destroying the Shan Group would be the primary consequence if he heard any rumors that were detrimental to Su Xiaoxiao.

The more Shan Jiaxi thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. He asked his older brother the same questions he had asked Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao said that she was the only family member in the world who gave him warmth, and if anyone hurt her, he would destroy that person at all costs!
