The rare moment of unanimous agreement surprised Jian Yixue so much that she forgot to laugh.

After a while, Jian Yixue finally reacted and looked at Dongfang Yi to explain, "I will absolutely not let Jian Mingpeng go, but dealing with him is not the most important thing right now. The most urgent task is to focus all our energy on finding my mother."

My mother has been missing for fifteen years. I haven't heard a single word about her in these fifteen years. I'm very worried, and sometimes I even wonder if she's still alive, if she's suffering somewhere, or what happened to her. Why hasn't she come back to look for me all these years?

All I want right now is to find my mother as soon as possible; everything else can wait.

After hearing Jian Yixue's words, Dongfang Yi fell silent.

He's too narrow-minded!

I can't believe Jian Yixue thought that way.

Dongfang Yi looked at Jian Yixue and nodded solemnly.

"I will arrange for people to investigate this matter as soon as I get back. You must also take good care of yourself. If your aunt were here, she would certainly not want to see her daughter unable to take care of herself because of her."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue burst into tears and nodded, "I will."

Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue beside him with heartache. He knew that nothing he said would help Jian Yixue in this situation.

As long as her mother-in-law doesn't come back, Jian Yixue won't be truly happy.

The most urgent task is to intensify efforts to find the mother-in-law.

Ye Mohan lowered his head and wiped away Jian Yixue's tears. He felt extremely sad.

When his hand touched Jian Yixue's tears, he realized how utterly useless he was.

That feeling of helplessness made him regret that he wasn't strong enough.

"It's okay, you have me."

Jian Yixue looked up at Ye Mohan and saw a hint of heartache and pity in his eyes.

Suddenly, Jian Yixue realized she shouldn't have acted that way.

Although she was worried about her mother, the pressure she put on Ye Mohan was immense.

I thought, such an outstanding person, who has always been admired by everyone, has never experienced such a setback.

And all of this was brought to him by her, which made him feel very guilty.

Jian Yixue nodded and comforted her, "Yes, I'm fine, don't blame yourself."

Ye Mohan was deeply moved, yet still felt a pang of guilt.

He lowered his head and kissed Jian Yixue's forehead, thinking how he was so fortunate to have married such a wonderful wife.

"Thank you, Xue'er. I will help you find your mother-in-law so that she can witness our wedding."

Ye Mohan looked down at Jian Yixue and made a promise.

He knew that every woman wanted her marriage to be blessed, especially by her closest relatives.

Their wedding was rushed, and he didn't put any effort into it; it was all to fulfill his grandfather's wish.

In his view, it was a wedding that didn't count.

He wanted to give Jian Yixue a wedding she would never forget, to make up for the regrets of her previous wedding.

He also wanted to ensure that Jian Yixue would have no regrets.

With her mother officiating, she would surely be much happier.

This time, it was Jane Yixue's turn to be moved.

She never expected Ye Mohan to be so thoughtful.

She also hoped that one day, her mother could witness her happiness.

Looking at the two who ignored him, Dongfang Yi felt incredibly nauseous and got goosebumps.

He couldn't help but shudder, and seeing that the two of them still hadn't noticed him, this enormous third wheel, he had no choice but to speak up and remind them.

Dongfang Yi coughed a few times, trying to attract their attention.

"Hey you two, there are other people here, be careful."

The more Dongfang Yi looked at Ye Mohan, the more displeased he became. It was just like the saying, "Your own cabbage has been eaten by a pig," and he couldn't stand the sight of him no matter what.

Although the two used to be best friends, after learning that Jian Yixue was his cousin, he disliked Ye Mohan more and more.

But he was also afraid that if he interfered too much in their relationship, it would displease Jian Yixue.

After all, it was the Eastern family that was in the wrong, and they hadn't even known that such a person had been living away from home for so many years.

It was only by finding it themselves that he dared not make any excessive demands.

He was afraid that Jian Yixue would not acknowledge their Dongfang family.

Suddenly, Dongfang Yi remembered his grandfather, that old-fashioned man, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

Grandpa would be overjoyed if he knew that Aunt had a daughter who had grown up.

In addition, Grandpa preferred girls to boys.

When he and his sister made mistakes as children, he was always the one who got punished.

His sister was the one who was favored.

What's giving Dongfang Yi a headache is the fact that Jian Yixue is already married; if his grandfather finds out, he's probably...

——

Upon hearing Dongfang Yi's words, Jian Yixue quickly pushed Ye Mohan away, her face flushing red as her eyes darted around.

Oh my god!

How could she forget that there was someone else there!

Immediately, Jian Yixue just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and try to escape this extremely embarrassing atmosphere.

Ye Mohan, standing to the side, didn't think that way.

Ye Mohan, who had a beauty in his arms, suddenly felt his arms go empty. He felt a pang of emptiness in his heart and his displeased gaze shot straight at the culprit.

His eyes were full of displeasure and warning.

He opened his mouth and silently said something to Dongfang Yi. Dongfang Yi was startled upon seeing this.

As the young master of the reclusive Dongfang family, Dongfang Yi is no ordinary person, having managed countless auction houses of all sizes.

Lip reading is an essential skill for him.

He understood the warning in Ye Mohan's words at a glance.

"If you say another word, the cooperation deal is void."

These are Ye Mohan's original words.

Others may not know about their collaboration, but Dongfang Yi is the young master of the Dongfang family, and the old man has now entrusted the vast majority of affairs to Dongfang Yi.

The deal between him and Ye Mohan was arranged by him personally.

This is a mutually beneficial collaboration for both sides.

But Dongfang Yi also believed that Ye Mohan's words were not just empty talk.

Dongfang Yi gave Ye Mohan a look that said, "I understand, I understand."

Seeing this, Ye Mohan stopped arguing about it.

Seeing Jian Yixue's embarrassed expression, Ye Mohan looked up at Dongfang Yi and said, "It's nothing, we'll be going now."

After saying that, he pulled Jian Yixue and prepared to walk out the door.

"Hey... don't go, I still have something to say." Dongfang Yi stood up and stopped the two as they walked towards the door.

When Jian Yixue heard that there was something else she hadn't said, she assumed it was about her mother.

Immediately, she stopped, too embarrassed to continue, and turned to look at Dongfang Yi, "What is it?"

Ye Mohan turned his head at the same time, but unlike Jian Yixue's good mood, Ye Mohan stared at Dongfang Yi with a very displeased look.

When Dongfang Yi met Ye Mohan's gaze, he immediately ran away.

That's terrifying!

Thinking of something, he suddenly looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Cousin Yixue, would you be willing to come back to the Dongfang family with me? Grandpa will be very happy to see you."
