Did she come tonight?

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao shook her head.

"It's such a pity. We wanted to see what the daughter of the most beautiful woman in the capital looked like, that she could actually get Old Master Ye to personally agree to marry his eldest grandson," one of the young ladies, whose family was unknown, said.

"Yes, I'm curious too."

"Yes, me too..."

...

The group chatted amongst themselves, oblivious to Jian Jiaojiao's odd expression.

Jian Jiaojiao clenched her hands behind her back, her resentment towards Jian Yixue reaching its peak.

It's all about her; wherever she is, everyone will only talk about her.

Because she has an amazing mother!

Why is it that no matter how hard I work, I'm nothing as soon as she appears!

Jian Jiaojiao lowered her head, her vicious gaze seemingly capable of destroying everything in its path.

Seeing that it was a public place, he lowered his head to suppress his indignation, and when he raised his head again, his eyes no longer held the same expression as before.

Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a man and a woman walking in hand in hand through the front door. In that instant, she found the scene particularly jarring and forgot to speak.

Just as everyone was about to say something to Jian Jiaojiao, they saw her looking elsewhere and all looked over at her.

Upon seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman at the door, they couldn't help but stare in disbelief.

"Wow, when did such a good-looking couple appear in the capital? How come I didn't know?"

Zhang Liya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, her eyes lingering on the beautiful scenery.

Although her looks are considered exceptional in the fashion world, the stunning beauty of the woman in front of her is many times more beautiful than her.

Jian Jiaojiao, who was standing to the side, kept her eyes on the two people who came in through the door. When she heard Zhang Liya praising Jian Yixue, her face immediately turned quite ugly.

As for Bei Jianren, wherever she appears, he is simply an extra.

When he saw that Ye Mohan's eyes only had room for Jian Yixue, his gaze towards Jian Yixue became even more vicious.

One day, she will take away everything that Jian Yixue cares about, even Ye Mohan...

"Isn't that Ye Mohan from the Ye family? Who's the person next to him? But they are quite good-looking."

Among a group of wealthy women, someone said something.

Upon hearing this, the other wealthy young women all showed a look of amazement in their eyes.

It turns out it really wasn't a rumor. The Ye Clan's leader had an infuriatingly imposing face, exuding a cold and ruthless aura. It's likely that no one in the capital could compare to him.

When Jian Yixue, who was standing next to Ye Mohan in the room, looked at him, her eyes were filled with deep envy and jealousy.

Jealous of Jian Yixue's good fortune, being able to come along as Ye Mohan's female companion.

They guessed that Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan must have a very special relationship.

Many elderly people in the hall saw the two people who walked in through the door. When they looked at Jian Yixue, they felt that she looked very familiar and couldn't help but cast inquiring glances at her.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Ye Mohan and Jian Yixue walked together toward the hall.

When she saw the diverse crowd in the hall, Jian Yixue couldn't help but furrow her beautiful brows slightly; she didn't particularly like such occasions.

Ye Mohan also seemed to dislike this kind of occasion, and walked straight to where Huangfu Ming and the others were not far away.

Among the group, Zhou Yuxuan first noticed the two people walking towards them. When he saw Jian Yixue, he smiled and waved to her, "Sister-in-law, over here!"

As soon as Zhou Yuxuan finished speaking, everyone who was chatting with their wine glasses turned their heads to look over, and saw Ye Mohan leading Jian Yixue over.

When Jian Yixue heard Zhou Yuxuan's words, she looked over and saw a group of people sitting together not far away. Apart from Chu Yi, all of Ye Mohan's friends from the previous night gathering were there.

Jian Yixue smiled slightly at Zhou Yuxuan and nodded.

As he approached the group, Ye Mohan took two glasses of red wine from a tray held by a passing waiter.

He handed one of the glasses to Jian Yixue beside him, saying, "Just a little bit, don't drink too much."

Jane took the wine glass and nodded.

Ye Mohan led Jian Yixue to the group, extended his hand to clink glasses with them, and took a sip.

Out of politeness, Jian Yixue also picked it up and pursed her lips.

With a look of regret, Zhou Yuxuan said with great emotion, "Second Brother is a completely different person now that he has a wife. Is he making such a high-profile appearance today to announce it to the public? I wonder how many women in the capital will shed tears now."

It should be noted that even when Ye Mohan attended events in the past, he would at most go through a special passage to meet the host briefly and then leave; he would never appear as a public figure.

Everyone was truly surprised by what he did today.

They all knew about Ye Mohan's marriage. It was only agreed to because Old Master Ye spoke up, and there was no wedding ceremony.

They were somewhat confused as to how, in just over a month, the relationship between the two had undergone a qualitative change, completely deviating from the original plan.

Upon hearing Zhou Yuxuan's words, everyone looked at Ye Mohan with curiosity.

Of course, aside from feeling sorry for his younger sister, Huangfu Ming's complexion wasn't particularly good.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan felt even more apologetic towards Jian Yixue.

Although they got married, he didn't even give Jane Yixue a public announcement of their marriage.

But Zhou Yuxuan's words made him realize what was happening.

From now on, he will make her someone everyone envies.

She has everything that others have!

He would give her anything that others didn't have, no matter how difficult it was!

Ye Mohan glanced at Jian Yixue beside him, and his deep, pleasant voice came, "Yes, I just want everyone to know that Xue'er is my lawfully wedded wife. Is there a problem?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan quickly shook his head, "No, no, I was just asking out of curiosity. Besides, my sister-in-law and I have a very deep friendship."

The others remained silent, but their respect for Jian Yixue had indeed increased. After all, how could they not value a woman who held Ye Mohan's heart?

Only Huangfu Ming's eyes were dark and unfathomable, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

Jian Yixue smiled and remained silent throughout, as she didn't want to get involved in topics concerning her. She simply stayed quietly beside Ye Mohan, listening to their conversation.

The group continued chatting for a while, discussing a variety of topics.

——

"It's getting late. I'll go call Grandpa down to host the dinner. Please excuse me for a moment."

Huangfu Ming's deep voice came through.

Ye Mohan nodded to Huangfu Ming and the others.

Huangfu Ming nodded slightly upon seeing this, picked up his wine cup, and left the hall to go upstairs.

Shen Chenxi looked at Huangfu Ming's back and said, "Sigh, Fourth Brother must be having a hard time. Second Brother, don't hold it against Fourth Brother, after all, one is a brother and the other is a sister."
