A cold smile flashed across Jian Yixue's delicate face; just as she had expected.

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

After saying that, he put down his crossed leg and prepared to get up.

Upon seeing this, Jian Mingpeng's face turned ashen, and he was about to explode in anger.

At this moment, Jian Yixue, who had just stood up, turned to look at Jian Mingpeng and kindly reminded him, "Aren't you curious why it took the Ye family so long to think of targeting the Jian family?"

Just a friendly reminder, why don't you ask your dear daughter what she's been doing?

A smile, though not reaching his eyes, appeared on his face. He glanced at Jian Jiaojiao standing to the side, then walked out of the study.

A dog-eat-dog scenario would be quite interesting!

It's a pity I can't witness it in person.

She was in a hurry to go out and be with her husband, and really didn't have time to watch the show here.

Jian Mingpeng stared at Jian Yixue as she walked out of the study with a somewhat malicious look in his eyes. Then, he looked at Jian Jiaojiao beside him with a deep and unpleasant gaze.

"Are you going to confess yourself, or should I investigate?"

His tone was indescribably cold.

Jian Mingpeng understood that, given Jian Yixue's personality, she would disdain telling such a lie that would be exposed in an instant.

Therefore, it means that Jian Jiaojiao is hiding something from him.

She felt so angry with Jian Yixue that she wanted to take it all out on Jian Jiaojiao.

Jian Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jian Yixue was about to leave.

Thinking that I could finally gloss over what happened last night and move on, I decided to move on.

Unexpectedly, that damned Jian Yixue, even at the very end, didn't want him to have an easy time, and deliberately said something.

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, Jian Jiaojiao was already quite alarmed.

She thought that if her father found out that she was the one who caused the trouble, he would not only freeze her bank cards, but might also dislike her, thus affecting her plans of so many years.

Just as Jian Jiaojiao was frantically trying to figure out what to do, she heard Jian Mingpeng's deep and stern voice, and immediately panicked.

Jian Jiaojiao looked up at her father, and seeing his angry face, she lowered her head guiltily.

"Dad, I really didn't do anything. Last night, we ran into my sister and brother-in-law at the night market. We just wanted to have dinner with my sister, but she disagreed. My friend got a little angry and said some harsh words. My brother-in-law even hit my friend. I thought that was the end of it. I didn't expect..."

Jian Jiaojiao looked innocent and aggrieved, with tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

What she said was true, but she concealed her true feelings.

Upon seeing this, Jian Mingpeng frowned and remained silent for a moment, pondering the truthfulness of Jian Jiaojiao's words.

After a while, Jian Mingpeng looked up at Jian Jiaojiao and said, "You go out first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You had better not be lying."

Jian Jiaojiao nodded, feigning sincerity.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go out now."

Jian Jiaojiao was extremely nervous and just wanted to leave the study as soon as possible; the atmosphere was just too oppressive.

After saying that, she pretended to be well-behaved and sensible and left the study.

In the study, only Jian Mingpeng remained, sitting in his seat with a furrowed brow and half-closed eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

——

After leaving the study, Jian Yixue went straight downstairs to the villa entrance.

Looking at the Bentley parked not far away, his eyes filled with a soft light, and the corners of his mouth turned up, his face bearing a gentle and happy smile.

Just as I was about to walk over there, I felt a strange pull on my arm.

Jian Yixue frowned, her smile faded, and she turned around somewhat unhappily, ready to see what was going on.

He was somewhat shocked when he saw the woman with white hair in front of him.

Those eyes were strangely familiar to her.

Before she turned five, besides her mother, it was the owner of these eyes who took meticulous care of her.

Jian Yixue was somewhat puzzled.

In her past life, she had never met her again since she was five years old, and thought she was long gone.

"Aunt Qiu, is that you?"

Jian Yixue looked at the white-haired woman beside her and tentatively asked.

She couldn't understand why someone in their forties would have such white hair and look so old.

The white-haired woman nodded, a knowing smile on her face.

“Young Miss, it’s me. You’ve finally grown up. I can now give you Madam’s belongings with peace of mind.”

Without giving Jian Yixue any time to react, he stuffed a square sandalwood box into her hand, turned and left with a satisfied smile.

Jian Yixue was about to call out to her when she realized that this was the Jian family home and she didn't know if anyone was secretly watching them.

She herself didn't care; she was capable enough to protect herself. However, she was somewhat worried that this might endanger Aunt Qiu's safety.

Just to be on the safe side, Jian Yixue decided to come over in the evening, since she knew Aunt Qiu was at the Jian family's house anyway.

Afterwards, Jian Yixue glanced at Aunt Qiu who had walked away, then picked up the wooden box and left the Jian family villa without looking back.

When they arrived at the car, Jian Yixue opened the door and saw Ye Mohan still working. She sat down next to him with a smile on her face.

Hearing the noise, Ye Mohan stopped what he was doing, reached out and hugged Jian Yixue beside him, his eyes looking at her.

Did he give you any trouble?

Jian Yixue shook her head and smiled. "I don't even care about him. I've given up on him. I won't demean myself for the sake of that insignificant affection."

She was no longer the silly Jian Yixue from her previous life.

In this lifetime, I will slay gods and demons alike!

Even if that person is her nominal father, it wouldn't be an exception.

After listening, Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue with a look that was more than just affection; it also showed a hint of tenderness.

"Don't be sad, you still have me. I will always be with you for the rest of your life."

Jian Yixue leaned her weight against him and said with a light smile, "I'm not sad. I was sad when I was five. Now I've been reborn and I will never be sad for people who aren't worth it."

Ye Mohan couldn't find any words to comfort Jian Yixue, so he could only hold her tightly.

Let his actions show Jian Yixue that he is by her side!

Jian Yixue was indeed not sad. Having experienced her previous life, she had already seen through what she needed to see.

Leaning on Ye Mohan's shoulder, she found a fairly comfortable spot and prepared to close her eyes and rest for a while.

Suddenly remembering that she was still in the car, she looked at Ye Mohan and asked.

"Where are you going later? Should you take me home first or go to the company first?"

"Come with me to the company."

Ye Mohan's deep and pleasant voice came through.

Jian Yixue nodded, found a comfortable spot, and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan opened the partition between the driver and passenger seats and gave the order.

"Go to the company."

Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes, Mr. President."

Without a hint of curiosity, I looked back.

He knew that looking over there would definitely reveal more PDA.

For his physical and mental health, it's best for him to watch less!

Besides, given the CEO's petty nature, if he sees something he shouldn't, Africa might be waiting for him again.

Upon hearing this, driver Li Ming immediately started the car and headed towards the Ye Group.
