In her past life, a treacherous man and a despicable woman conspired against her, leading her to a tragic end filled with hatred.
Only at the moment of death did she realize that her foolish ...
Dongfang Yelei gave his confidant a cold and displeased look, and the confidant immediately understood and quickly changed his words, saying, "The two people that Dongfang Yi brought back some time ago have come again today."
"Is the information accurate?" Dongfang Yelei asked, squinting.
The confidant nodded. "Accurate. Chen Ran, Dongfang Yi's confidant, brought them in. They should still be near the parking lot at this time."
He rushed over as soon as he received the news, within just a few minutes.
A calculating look appeared on Dongfang Yelei's gloomy face. "Let's go, let's go and meet them."
Who exactly is this person that Dongfang Yi would disregard family rules and risk being caught red-handed in order to bring back?
Meanwhile, Chen Ran, who had been delayed earlier, had just come out of the parking lot.
As soon as she stepped into the corridor, Jian Yixue saw two people walking towards her.
However, she didn't know who the other person was, so she didn't think much of it.
As the one leading the way, Chen Ran naturally saw it immediately and frowned.
What's going on with Second Master here?
It seems they're coming for them.
Thinking of Jian Yixue and the other person behind him, he immediately understood.
I never imagined that Second Master's influence had spread so far over the Dongfang family; otherwise, how could he have learned of the news and rushed over so quickly?
He also roughly knew why the Second Master had appeared here.
Unexpectedly, he was the only one present, and Chen Ran was somewhat worried about whether he could safely bring the young lady there.
After all, Second Master is still the master on the surface, so he has to be careful.
When Dongfang Yelei and his trusted aide Shen Qiu reached a short distance in front of Chen Ran, they blocked his way.
Jane Yixue began to re-examine the middle-aged man in front of her.
The middle-aged man looked gloomy, and the woman's intuition told her that he was after them.
As for why, Jian Yixue didn't understand for a moment.
She didn't know this person and didn't remember ever having any interaction with him, but the middle-aged man's actions were clearly meant to make things difficult for her.
Jian Yixue was very curious and glanced at Chen Ran, "Who is he?"
Chen Ran answered softly, "This is the second master of the Dongfang family—Dongfang Yelei, the young master's nominal second uncle."
Jian Yixue raised an eyebrow. Oh, are they incompatible with "Second Master"? One Second Master of the Ye family left, and now another Second Master of the Dongfang family has arrived.
Does that mean all brothers are incompatible and have to become enemies over so-called material possessions?
Jane Yixue didn't understand at all.
By this time, she had a rough idea of what was going on; this second master of the Dongfang family must have come with ill intentions.
After answering Jian Yixue's question, Chen Ran stepped forward to greet her.
After all, Dongfang Yelei is the master, so it's certainly not his place to greet me first.
"Second Master."
Dongfang Yelei ignored him, his eyes fixed on Jian Yixue.
Suddenly, memories deep within my mind were stirred up.
Dongfang Yelei was quite surprised and spoke with some doubt.
"Little sister?"
"No, you're not her. Who are you?"
Dongfang Yelei quickly dismissed his own guess.
The person in front of me is definitely not my little sister!
She was already this old when she left, how could she still be so young and beautiful more than 20 years later?
Moreover, the woman in front of him had a completely different temperament from his younger sister.
It definitely couldn't be her.
Jian Yixue glanced at her dismissively and said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"
Dongfang Yelei frowned; he hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so tactless.
"This is the Dongfang family. As their master, isn't it only natural for me to ask about the origins of a stranger like you?"
Dongfang Yelei was very dissatisfied with Jian Yixue's attitude.
The woman in front of him was indeed quite arrogant, knowing his identity yet still acting this way, which displeased him.
The trusted confidant standing nearby had never met Dongfang Tinglan before, so naturally he didn't know what the two were talking about.
Remembering the purpose of their visit, he couldn't help but remind himself, "Master."
Dongfang Yelei immediately understood, his eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move when a deep, cold voice rang out first.
"Second Master of the Dongfang family has quite the nerve. How dare you bark here? Has the Dongfang family fallen so low that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be in charge?"
"Don't even mention you, even Dongfang Yi wouldn't dare stop my woman."
"How dare you! I am Dongfang Yi's second uncle. This is the Dongfang family, and I have the right to do so! Don't even mention your woman; even if it's a woman Dongfang Yi brought back, she has to be notified by me!"
Dongfang Yelei frowned even more as he looked at Ye Mohan, wondering who dared to be so presumptuous.
How dare they say such a thing!
How dare they call him a nobody? They must be tired of living.
Dongfang Yelei was visibly taken aback when he saw Ye Mohan.
He was so focused on looking at Jian Yixue that he didn't notice Ye Mohan behind her.
I never imagined that there could be such a terrifying and noble man in this world, who inspires fear at first glance.
Although he didn't recognize the man, the aura emanating from him made him feel that the man was quite extraordinary.
The man's extremely sarcastic words flashed through his mind, and he immediately forgot everything else, his whole body filled with rage.
Ye Mohan shielded Jian Yixue behind him, his cold gaze, sharp as an icy blade, shooting straight at Dongfang Yelei.
"You can give it a try and see if you have the ability."
Dongfang Yelei was furious, feeling that his authority had been challenged. Without thinking, he ordered, "Shenqiu, take the two of them back to me."
Shenqiu looked at the couple in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled.
But since his master had given the order, he had no choice but to obey.
"Yes, Master."
Shen Qiu waved his hand behind him, and soon a group of people walked out from not far away.
Clearly, Dongfang Yelei had been prepared for this.
Dongfang Yelei was very satisfied with this. He looked at Chen Ran with a gloomy gaze and said, "Go back and tell your young master that the Dongfang family has always had a family rule that does not allow family members to bring random cats and dogs back to the Dongfang family."
If he wants to take these two people away, he should come to the ancestral hall and explain himself to all the ancestors.
I'm doing all this for the good of the Dongfang family, and I'll ask the family elders to come forward as witnesses.
Chen Ran looked troubled; he knew what the Second Master meant.
From the moment the young master was designated as the heir, the second master was constantly looking for opportunities to bring him down.
Now that they've finally gotten this opportunity, they certainly won't give it up easily.
Chen Ran looked at Jian Yixue with concern. He knew Jian Yixue's true identity, and he also knew that Jian Yixue did not want to make this public.
However, if this matter were to be reported to the elders of the family, it would be impossible to keep it a secret.
Since he knew it would find out sooner or later anyway, Chen Ran gritted his teeth and made a decision on his own.
