The two girls had a phone call in which they publicly criticized Jiang Jianian.

One sister sobbed pitifully in front of her older sister, while the other indignantly comforted and consoled her younger sister.

Ye Yingying was about to escalate her conversation with Ye Zhiwei when Jiang Jianian seemed to sense something and suddenly opened the door.

Before they could finish their conversation, Ye Yingying and Ye Zhiwei's exchange stopped abruptly at the question, "If we move out, won't Brother Jia Nian be even angrier? He already dislikes me so much—"

Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Yingying with a cold smile.

Ye Yingying couldn't stop talking, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

The scene became very awkward.

Ye Yingying suppressed the unease that Jiang Jianian was giving her and continued to say to Ye Zhiwei, "Sister Zhiwei, why don't you send the materials over first, and we can talk about it later?"

The conversation finally ended.

Jiang Jianian asked, "Did you have a good time talking?"

Ye Yingying pushed her luggage, blinked, and pretended to be clueless, saying, "Brother Jianian, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You've already broken ties with me before, do you think there's any point in pretending now?" Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Yingying and said coldly, without any politeness.

Ye Yingying blinked. "Is Brother Jia Nian so unwelcoming to me?"

"You came even though you knew I didn't welcome you?" Jiang Jianian sneered.

The atmosphere was subtle. Jiang Jianian's every move was practically telling Ye Yingying that he didn't welcome her and that she should know better than to come up to him directly. He should just go back to his film crew and do whatever he wanted with the filming.

Ye Yingying seemed oblivious to Jiang Jianian's indifference and resistance. Although she knew Jiang Jianian well and knew that he had a bad temper, she still forced herself to push her luggage into the villa when she thought of Ye Zhiwei.

Jiang Jianian crossed his arms and looked at Ye Yingying expressionlessly, showing no intention of offering any help.

Ye Yingying wasn't spoiled; she pushed her luggage to the lobby herself.

Only Jiang Jianian and Ye Yingying were in the villa's main hall. The two disliked each other and seemed like enemies, making the air in the room feel suffocating.

Fortunately, Ye Zhiwei sensed that Ye Yingying's tone had changed and felt that something must have happened. She ran to hand in the materials and almost ran back, still panting when she entered the room.

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Yingying immediately exclaimed happily, "Sister Zhiwei!"

Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath, went up and touched Ye Yingying's hair, then turned to ask Jiang Jianian, "Why didn't you let Yingying come in? Didn't I tell you beforehand that she was going to stay here, and you agreed to let her stay here?"

The tone was much more tactful, completely unlike the ruthless insults directed at Jiang Jianian that had just been delivered over the phone.

As expected, Jiang Jianian's influence was still strong. Although Ye Zhiwei wanted to show the "green tea" girl her status in the family, she was fine when things were sweet and loving, but once they started to argue, Ye Zhiwei was the first to back down.

Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Yingying and explained expressionlessly, "I didn't notice at first, but I found out she was coming after seeing the surveillance footage. Isn't she already inside?"

Although the tone wasn't very pleasant, at least they explained it.

"Why didn't you answer when Yingying called you?" Ye Zhiwei pressed her advantage and asked again.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jianian gave a cold laugh and asked Ye Yingying directly, "Ye Yingying, why don't you tell me now when exactly you called me?"
