Unable to bear it any longer, Qian Ruizhi slapped Zhang Shufang hard across the face.

Say whatever you want, but to say he's inferior to others is simply hitting Qian Ruizhi where it hurts.

He hates it most when people say he's inferior to someone else!

As his wife, the fact that she spoke of him like that instantly heightened Qian Ruizhi's disgust for Zhang Shufang.

Zhang Shufang covered her face, staring wide-eyed at Qian Ruizhi in disbelief. "You dare to hit me? Qian Ruizhi, you heartless bastard, you actually hit me!"

You don't like my daughter and me, do you? I'll take Manman back to my parents' home right now."

After saying that, he stormed upstairs.

Qian Ruizhi was deeply troubled by this.

What annoyed him most about Zhang Shufang was that she would use her family background to bully him at the drop of a hat.

The Zhang family and the Qian family are now in roughly the same position.

Over the years, the company has cooperated with the Zhang family in many ways, and he doesn't want this to harm the company.

Admittedly, this is also the hidden reason why he dared not mention divorce to Zhang Shufang.

"Have you made enough of a scene?! Where can you take Manman in this state? You all stay home, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he picked up the keys on the table and left without looking back.

He didn't want to stay here any longer.

Staying here would only make him feel worse; he would rather spend that time visiting Wanrou, who was keeping him as a mistress.

Compared to Wanrou, his wife was far inferior.

Zhang Shufang stopped at the top of the stairs, looking at her husband who didn't turn around. She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with both grievance and resentment.

She wasn't oblivious to the abnormality. Thinking of her daughter who was still fast asleep upstairs, Zhang Shufang stopped thinking about it and turned to go upstairs.

Nothing is more important than the daughter who came from her womb.

...

Inside the car, Jian Yixue smiled as she watched Ye Mohan drive, her eyes filled with admiration.

Ye Mohan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other lightly on the car window sill, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

He had already noticed Jian Yixue's gaze that had lingered for a long time. When they reached the traffic light intersection, Ye Mohan stopped.

He glanced sideways at Jian Yixue and said indulgently, "Why are you staring at me like that? Are you captivated by my good looks, Xue'er?"

Ye Mohan's seemingly teasing words made Jian Yixue feel embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed. She immediately looked away and spoke.

"How could that be! Am I that kind of person?"

Jian Yixue avoided eye contact with Ye Mohan, afraid that he would see through her thoughts.

Yes, she was indeed captivated by Ye Mohan's good looks.

You can't blame her for that!

Who told him to be so devastatingly handsome!

This phrase is perfectly appropriate when applied to Ye Mohan.

His near-perfect face alone, coupled with the noble and elegant aura he exuded, made him unmatched by a large group of people.

Moreover, she had seen Ye Mohan's body proportions in private, which made her extremely envious, including herself.

It's simply outrageous and infuriating.

As Jian Yixue thought about the scene in her mind that she couldn't let outsiders see, her face flushed slightly.

Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Ye Mohan will think something's wrong with her later.

She would never let Ye Mohan know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Ye Mohan's voice interrupted Jian Yixue's thoughts.

"Oh? Then why did Xue'er stare at me the whole way? I'm very curious, Xue'er, can you explain what you were looking at just now?"

Seeing Jian Yixue's girlish appearance, Ye Mohan suddenly had a mischievous thought in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue was speechless for a moment.

She was careless. She thought he was driving and wouldn't pay much attention to her little movements. Little did she know that he had been watching her the whole time.

Jian Yixue thought for a while but couldn't find a suitable reason. Just as she was about to give up, a cell phone rang, relieving her embarrassment.

Jian Yixue breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Ye Mohan with an awkward smile, "I'm going to take this call, you drive carefully."

Without waiting for Ye Mohan's reply, she quickly pulled out her phone and answered the call.

Hello, who is this?

The reason she answered the phone so quickly was that she wanted to avoid talking about Ye Mohan.

Therefore, he even answered calls from unknown numbers.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan smiled with a mixture of doting affection and helplessness.

He knew exactly what Jian Yixue was thinking, but he had only intended to tease her, so he didn't say anything more.

Just as the light turned green, Ye Mohan stepped on the gas and started the car.

——

Meanwhile, Jian Yixue, in the passenger seat, was answering a phone call.

"It's me, Xu Dongsheng."

A slightly rough male voice rang out.

Upon hearing the other person's self-introduction, Jian Yixue immediately thought of Xu Dongsheng, whom she had met just yesterday.

I was very curious how he got my phone number and how he ended up calling me.

"Chairman Xu, is there something you need from me?"

Jane Yixue didn't believe that this old fox would suddenly call her for no reason.

"Hmm, do you have time? Let's meet up," Xu Dongsheng said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue frowned, turned her head to look at Ye Mohan who was driving, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, where?"

"You decide, I'm fine with anything."

After hearing this, Jian Yixue thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to a coffee shop. I'll send you the location and details later."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Mohan, who was driving, turned to look at Jian Yixue. "Who was it?"

Jian Yixue put away her phone and looked at Ye Mohan to explain, "You've met him before, Xu Dongsheng from the Jian Group. He asked to meet me."

Ye Mohan was very puzzled and asked, "You two know each other?"

From what he knew, Jian Yixue and Xu Dongsheng had never met, and there was no way they could know each other.

Ye Mohan was completely baffled as to why Xu Dongsheng wanted to meet with Jian Yixue.

After hearing this, Jian Yixue shook her head and said, "I don't know him. But he might know my mother."

Judging from what happened at the Jian Group yesterday, there must be some kind of relationship between Xu Dongsheng and her mother that she is unaware of.

As for what kind of relationship they have, she can't be sure right now.

What she was certain of was that Xu Dongsheng and her mother must have some kind of relationship.

As soon as Jian Yixue spoke, Ye Mohan understood what she meant.

Indeed, it's quite normal for such a talented woman to have several admirers.

——

Inside a private room at a coffee shop.

Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan arrived at the agreed location first, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down to wait for Xu Dongsheng's arrival.

Jian Yixue had a rough idea of ​​Xu Dongsheng's purpose in asking her out.

Jian Yixue agreed to the meeting because she wanted to learn about her mother from Xu Dongsheng.

Now, she knows far too little about her mother.
