Yang Qiaoqiao was aware of this project.

Moreover, before Grandpa Xia decided to restart the project, he specifically came to ask her about it.

It was only after learning that the construction company was still under her name that Grandpa Xia made up his mind to restart the project.

At the time, she originally wanted to turn down the project from Grandpa Xia and persuade him to let the Xia family try it out themselves.

Before she could even speak, Grandpa Xia had already figured out what she was thinking.

He even advised her, "Qiaoqiao, although my kids are much better than before, I still know their limitations."

"I've already thought it all out. This project will be handled by your construction company. Huo Beixiao is currently managing everything at the construction company, so you don't need to worry about it. You can just be a hands-off manager and wait to make money."

Yang Qiaoqiao felt helpless at the time, never expecting that Grandpa Xia had planned everything for her.

But she did agree to it.

Before she could persuade Grandpa Xia to let the Xia family do the project themselves, she thought of how, in her previous life, the Xia family had repeatedly gone to court to fight over the inheritance left by Grandpa Xia.

The dispute over the inheritance became known throughout the country.

So far, the Xia family has been united as one, thinking and working together towards the same goal.

But she didn't know if the Xia family could only share hardship but not happiness.

After all, according to Grandpa and Grandma Xia, the three Xia brothers never got along well when they knew their family was wealthy.

Yang Qiaoqiao snapped out of her reverie and looked at Huo Beixiao's beaming face, feeling utterly helpless.

She had thought she was finally able to separate from Huo Beixiao, and she had breathed a sigh of relief.

Before I could even catch my breath, the pressure rose again.

Before she agreed to come back to Huo Beixiao, she always thought that her feelings for Huo Beixiao were very firm.

She never imagined that she would feel so conflicted when facing Huo Beixiao.

But it's fine, anyway, once we're on the plane, we can all sit in our own seats and just pretend that Huo Beixiao isn't even on the plane.

To her surprise, she and Huo Beixiao managed to buy seats next to each other without knowing each other's schedules at all.

The situation became even more complicated after Yang Qiaoqiao sat down.

The man, who used to be very sparing with words, is now quite talkative. After discovering that their seats were next to each other, he started chattering away with great enthusiasm.

They recalled that the first time they flew together was to the north of the city.

The man then shifted the conversation to how many things he did for the first time were with her.

Yang Qiaoqiao didn't want to recall these things, but the man kept babbling in her ear, and her mind began to wander uncontrollably to the memories.

Finally, she simply closed her eyes to rest.

Huo Beixiao looked at Yang Qiaoqiao's indifferent expression, but she didn't want to hear him say any more.

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed his eyes.

However, he quickly cheered up again.

No rush. He and Qiaoqiao have so many beautiful memories together. He will be able to win Qiaoqiao back someday.

He asked the flight attendant to get a blanket for Qiaoqiao, and then quietly watched Qiaoqiao's delicate profile the whole way.

On the other side, Jiang Yong'an added three handfuls of fresh soil to Jiang Yiran's grave.

Although the Jiang family are native to Yun County, none of their relatives have been in contact with them anymore.

When the Jiang family was prosperous, many relatives wanted to curry favor with Jiang Jiahua, but without exception, they were all driven away by Peng Cuiying's harshness.

After Jiang Jiahua's incident, it was good that his relatives didn't kick him while he was down, but instead kept their distance.

Since there were no relatives, Jiang Yiran's funeral was naturally not something to be celebrated in a grand manner.

Jiang Yongxian paid for a decent coffin, Jiang Yong'an personally dressed Jiang Yiran in her burial clothes, and then hired a few people to help dig a pit on the mountain. They then hired coffin bearers to carry Jiang Yiran's coffin into the pit and bury it. That concluded the funeral.

Jiang Yong'an knelt before Jiang Yiran's grave, his eyes red and swollen. "Ranran, don't be afraid. After your third brother takes care of those who bullied and hurt you, I'll come and join you."

Don't worry, your third brother will always protect you from now on and will never let you suffer any more injustices..."

Upon hearing Jiang Yong'an's words, Jiang Yongxian's eyes flickered, a fleeting look of triumph flashing across them.

Jiang Yong'an, that idiot, is indeed very useful.

But on the surface, he put on a stern face and seriously reprimanded Jiang Yong'an, saying, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Ranran is gone, but you have to live well."

Ranran has always been closest to you since childhood. If she were still here, she would never want to see her favorite brother like this...

As Jiang Yongxian spoke, his eyes reddened, and his voice choked with emotion.

Jiang Yong'an glanced at him, his resentful and sorrowful gaze carrying a scrutinizing quality.

When Jiang Yongxian met his gaze, he felt a little flustered, as if Jiang Yong'an had seen right through him.

Jiang Yong'an withdrew his gaze; he knew for certain that Jiang Yongxian's current demeanor was an act.

We're all brothers, how could we not understand each other?

Jiang Yongxian is the most hypocritical person. The only person he cares about is himself. How could he care about Ranran? How could he care whether she lives or dies?

Whether Jiang Yongxian's appearance was genuine or feigned, it didn't matter to Jiang Yong'an anymore.

He only asked Jiang Yongxian, "Do you know where Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao are now?"

Jiang Yongxian frowned and pretended to think, saying, "They used to be mostly in Haicheng, but now that their business has grown, they inevitably have to travel around."

"Why are you asking them what they want?"

Jiang Yongxian pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

Jiang Yong'an stared coldly at Jiang Yongxian.

He found Jiang Yongxian's hypocritical demeanor disgusting, so he went straight to the point and said to Jiang Yongxian:

“Jiang Yongxian, you don’t need to pretend to be a decent person here. Why didn’t you get me out earlier or later? Why did you specifically choose to get me out on the day Ranran was executed? Wasn’t it just so that I would kill Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao?”

He wasn't stupid. Jiang Yongxian had managed to get him out at such a coincidental time and had been subtly reminding him that if it weren't for Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao, Jiang Yiran wouldn't have lost her life.

How could he not know that Jiang Yongxian had gotten him out of trouble so that he could deal with Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao?

Jiang Yongxian looked at Jiang Yongxian coldly, "Tell me where they are, and I will avenge Ranran, which will also clear the way for you."

Jiang Yongxian's expression changed several times, but he finally decided that since he had already been seen through, he would stop pretending.

He said directly, "I had someone check yesterday, and the two of them returned to Sichuan Province yesterday, but they have already boarded a plane to Beicheng and are flying there."

Jiang Yong'an's eyes flashed with ferocity. "Buy me a plane ticket to Beicheng. I'm going to kill them!"
