"Okay, come with me."

After saying that, Ye Mohan turned around and walked out of the hall.

Zhou Yuxuan was completely bewildered. Watching Ye Mohan walk away, he had no choice but to resign himself to following after him.

There's nothing we can do; he's his second brother, after all.

By the time Zhou Yuxuan walked up behind Ye Mohan, the two had already reached the garden corridor.

In the darkness, on the corridor of the classical white European-style building, Ye Mohan stood with his back to Zhou Yuxuan, his posture upright.

He was swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his expression serious and earnest.

His deep eyes gazed into the depths of the garden. Hearing the approaching footsteps stop, he took a hair sample from his pocket and said with a faint smile, "Yuxuan, find some time to do a DNA test between your sister-in-law and this sample."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan took the sample handed to him by Ye Mohan, his mind filled with doubt, "Whose is this?"

"Jian Mingpeng".

Hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan was even more confused.

Suddenly remembering something, she looked around and leaned closer to Ye Mohan, whispering, "Second brother, do you suspect that sister-in-law isn't Jian Mingpeng's biological daughter?"

Ye Mohan glanced at Zhou Yuxuan with displeasure, seemingly not satisfied with his question.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan knew that Ye Mohan did not want to talk about it, so he did not ask any further questions.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Ye Mohan nodded, then turned to look into the distance, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan behind them didn't say anything to disturb them, and accompanied Ye Mohan to enjoy the night view.

He simply disliked the social interaction inside; he was perfectly content standing here quietly. If his father hadn't had to leave on a business trip, he wouldn't have come to this kind of event.

He disliked engaging in masked conversations with those people; he preferred immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge.

——

In the hall, Jian Jiaojiao, who had been keeping a close eye on Ye Mohan, was overjoyed to see Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan separate, thinking that her chance had finally come.

After watching Ye Mohan and Zhou Yuxuan walk out of the hall, he turned around and said something to the rich young lady beside him before heading towards the hall entrance.

As she stepped out of the hall, she saw two people talking not far away. Although she wanted to go over, she was worried that she might overhear something that would displease Ye Mohan, so she could only obediently stand at the entrance of the hall and wait.

Seeing that Ye Mohan was no longer speaking, she tidied her appearance and walked over with what she thought was a dignified and ladylike smile.

Ye Mohan, who was deep in thought, heard footsteps and was somewhat displeased, but he did not turn around.

Instead, Zhou Yuxuan, who had been looking around, turned around when he heard the sound. When he saw who it was, his brows furrowed, as if he felt some disgust towards the person.

What are you doing here?

Zhou Yuxuan's tone wasn't very good as he looked at Jian Jiaojiao, who was almost in front of him.

He knew who this person was, and it was precisely because he knew that he disliked her so much.

Now, she's secretly coming to find her brother-in-law behind her half-sister's back, and she doesn't even have a good relationship with her sister. Her motives are obvious.

Therefore, Zhou Yuxuan disliked Jian Jiaojiao even more.

Jian Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed when she heard Zhou Yuxuan's words, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with Young Master Ye in private."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan looked at Ye Mohan, seemingly asking for his opinion.

Zhou Yuxuan didn't bother with her; he was just a little worried about his second brother getting along with her, who was full of scheming.

"Yuxuan is not an outsider, so please feel free to speak your mind."

Ye Mohan said coldly.

Without a trace of emotion, as if talking to a complete stranger.

Zhou Yuxuan was not surprised at all by Ye Mohan's words.

Not to mention her, even Huangfu Xin'er, whom he grew up with, was not treated specially by Ye Mohan.

Moreover, as someone who dotes on his wife excessively, how could he possibly allow something that would affect their relationship to happen?

Besides, his sister-in-law had given him so many good things, so he was willing to risk his life to protect his second brother and never let him be defiled!

Zhou Yuxuan turned his head and looked at Jian Jiaojiao with a probing gaze, waiting for her to speak.

Ye Mohan's words made Jian Jiaojiao's expression somewhat awkward.

The tone of his voice made Jian Jiaojiao feel even more sad and disappointed.

But this is one of her few opportunities. If she wants to see Ye Mohan alone again in the future, she may not have many chances. She can't give up!

Jian Jiaojiao gathered her jumbled thoughts, a shy smile on her face, "Young Master Ye, I've actually admired you for a long time, could you... give me a chance?"

"roll!"

Before Jian Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Ye Mohan's icy voice interrupted her.

For a moment, a hint of hurt flashed across Jian Jiaojiao's face; she couldn't believe that this was the outcome.

"Why? Because of Jian Yixue? I can do without any title, even if..."

"Could you be any more shameless? Who do you think you are, daring to imitate my second brother?"

This time, before Ye Mohan could speak, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't hold back any longer.

He had never seen such a shameless woman before. The fact that she could say such despicable things truly shattered his worldview.

Even if Ye Mohan wasn't her nominal brother-in-law, she still shamelessly destroyed his family knowing he had a wife.

What is this if not a lower beige?

If she weren't a woman, he would have loved to slap her a few times to bring her to her senses.

Upon hearing Zhou Yuxuan's words, Jian Jiaojiao's jealousy was fully aroused, and she threw reason to the back of her mind.

"Why can Jian Yixue do it? We're both daughters of the Jian family, so why can she do it but I can't?"

Jian Jiaojiao was filled with jealousy, and even the expression on her face was somewhat distorted.

Why should she, after working so hard and compromising so much, end up with not a single penny of the Jian family's assets?

As for Jian Yixue, she not only owned shares in the Jian family, but also married Ye Mohan, the richest man in the country, and enjoyed his exclusive favor.

That night, as she watched Ye Mohan protect Jian Yixue, her heart was already captivated by him.

Such an outstanding man, why isn't he hers!

How could a country bumpkin like Jian Yixue possibly deserve all of Ye Mohan's love and affection?

She was not willing to accept it!

Today, when Ye Mohan and Jian Yixue parted ways, she couldn't help but want to tell Ye Mohan how she felt about him.

But she didn't expect Ye Mohan to refuse so decisively, which she couldn't accept for a while.

"Just because she's Jian Yixue, you're not even worthy of carrying her shoes."

Ye Mohan turned his head, his deep black eyes gleaming with coldness as he looked at Jian Jiaojiao, his tone icy and biting.

Then, without even glancing at Jian Jiaojiao, he turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan secretly gave Ye Mohan a thumbs up in his heart.

Second Brother is Second Brother, he speaks with such domineering power!

He then gave Jian Jiaojiao a disdainful look and followed Ye Mohan inside.
