Thinking of this, Yu Hua immediately suppressed his anger and put on a fawning expression, with a fake smile plastered on his face.

“Miss Yi Xue, you’re too kind. I wouldn’t dare. But the master is busy right now. I’ll go and report to him. Please wait in the living room for a moment.”

Yu Hua appeared respectful on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing Jian Yixue fiercely.

She's been kicked out for so many years, yet she's still so arrogant. I really hope the master can teach her a lesson.

Having lived in the Jian family for over twenty years, no one in the entire family, except for the three masters, had ever dared to make him so subservient. Yet, right now, he was powerless against her!

Jian Yixue looked at Yu Hua with icy eyes and sneered, "Why didn't you do this earlier? Why did you have to ask for a scolding? My time is precious. If Jian Mingpeng doesn't have time in three minutes, don't blame me for leaving."

Jane took her phone out of her jeans, checked the time, and walked to the sofa to sit down.

If she weren't unsure what her mother's belongings Jian Mingpeng was holding, she wouldn't be sitting here so patiently.

Yu Hua saw Jian Yixue on the sofa seemingly calculating the time, and quickly got up to go to the study to report.

He was afraid that once the man left, the master would hold him accountable.

Jian Yixue sat on the sofa, waiting bored, scrolling through the news on her phone, not wanting to look at the home where she had lived for five years.

She thought it was dirty and worried it would stain her eyes, and she didn't know how much eye drops she would have to waste to clean them properly.

Jian Yixue didn't have to wait long before Yu Hua appeared on the stairs and hurriedly came down.

"Miss Yi Xue, the master requests your presence upstairs."

Her tone was no longer as arrogant as when Jian Yixue had first entered the door.

Jian Yixue was too lazy to argue with him. She put away her phone, got up gracefully, and went upstairs.

She knew the layout and structure of the entire villa without needing a guide. Soon, Jian Yixue arrived at Jian Mingpeng's study.

Jian Yixue glanced at the door, then pushed it open and went inside without knocking.

When she saw that in the study, besides Jian Mingpeng, her good sister Jian Jiaojiao was also standing next to him, she was stunned for a few seconds.

For a moment, she couldn't guess why Jian Mingpeng had called her back. Her expression remained aloof and indifferent, as if she were unapproachable.

Jian Mingpeng, sitting in his office chair in the study, looked at Jian Yixue with displeasure and a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Didn't anyone teach you to knock before entering a house? Is this how you behave in the Ye family, lacking any manners?"

As if she hadn't heard Jian Mingpeng's words, Jian Yixue walked straight to the chair opposite Jian Mingpeng, sat down, leaned back in the chair, crossed her legs, and adopted a lazy and wicked posture.

"Hehe, no one taught me. I grew up without parents, how could I understand these rules?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng gripped his teacup tightly, his expression growing increasingly serious, with a hint of mild anger.

Just as he was about to say something angry, Jian Jiaojiao, who was standing next to him, spoke up for Jian Mingpeng.

“Sister, how could you say that? Father is perfectly fine, how could you curse him? If outsiders find out, they will say you are unfilial, and that our Jian family has no manners.”

Jian Jiaojiao appeared to be very understanding, and people who didn't know her true nature would actually believe her.

Hearing Jian Jiaojiao's words, Jian Mingpeng's anger intensified, and he slammed the teacup heavily on the table. "Jian Yixue, your upbringing has been wasted! It's a good thing you're married now, otherwise our Jian family would have been dragged down by trash like you."

Jian Yixue raised an eyebrow, looking at Jian Jiaojiao, who was acting like a drama queen.

No wonder I fell for her in my past life. If I hadn't seen her true face, I would have believed it too.

Jian Yixue looked at Jian Mingpeng with icy eyes, her tone impatient, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, or shut up. And where are my mother's things? Stop using this to blackmail me time and time again."

She was in a hurry and didn't have time to watch the father-daughter display of affection that she was about to perform here.

Jian Mingpeng was furious after hearing Jian Yixue's words. He grew increasingly disgusted with Jian Yixue and regretted not getting rid of this menace sooner. Now, she was becoming more and more out of control.

Perhaps, he should have listened to his wife and let Jiaojiao marry him, otherwise things would be like this now.

Jian Mingpeng recalled the purpose of bringing her back, and how he had almost forgotten the important matter because he was so angry, and his eyes darkened considerably.

"The company's recent investments have resulted in significant losses, and starting last night, many clients who had already signed contracts have inexplicably reneged on their agreements."

I specifically asked someone I know well, and he told me that Ye Mohan had specifically issued the order. Anyone who dares to cooperate with the Jian family is going against the Ye family.

Call him immediately and tell him, whatever the reason, to take back what you said. Once this is over, I will give you the belongings your mother left you.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. She thought to herself, "Why did Jian Mingpeng suddenly think of her again?"

It turns out that the Jane's company he had finally managed to acquire had run into trouble, and he was waiting for someone to rescue him.

How could he be so certain that he would help him?

Just because she didn't know he was holding her mother's belongings?

"How can you be so sure I'll believe you have my mother's belongings based solely on your word? And aren't you curious why Ye Mohan suddenly started targeting the Jian family last night?"

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced in Jian Jiaojiao's direction, his eyes holding a half-smile that was somewhat eerie.

When Jian Jiaojiao heard what Jian Yixue said, she felt a little guilty.

She heard her father's anger in the living room when she woke up in the morning, and she was a little confused.

I suddenly remembered what happened last night.

Could it be that Jian Yixue asked Ye Mohan to take revenge on her so that she could destroy the Jian family?

She had only doubted it at first, but after hearing Jian Yixue's words and the look in her eyes, she became more and more certain.

A hint of panic flashed across his face, and he quickly lowered his head.

In his anger, Jian Mingpeng didn't notice Jian Yixue's gaze. After hearing Jian Yixue's words, he felt a little uneasy.

Did she find out?

impossible!

He has already dealt with all those who knew about it back then.

Jian Mingpeng quickly dismissed his guess, pretending to be calm and saying, "Would I lie to you? You were so young back then, who else could you tell if not me about the things your mother left you?"

Just tell me directly whether you're willing to persuade Ye Mohan to stop his actions against the Jian family!

"I don't want to! What can you do about it?"

He had a nonchalant attitude, exuding an indescribable arrogance and indifference.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng stood up abruptly, slammed his hand on the table, and roared angrily at Jian Yixue.

"Do you even know who you're talking to? You wretched girl! We should never have let you come back in the first place; you're a complete disaster!"
