As soon as Zhou Yuxuan saw Jian Yixue's expression, he knew without a doubt who had sent the message.

Besides his charming second brother, who else could make his sister-in-law smile like that?

His idea was quickly proven true.

After reading the message, Jian Yixue dialed Ye Mohan's number without hesitation.

Ye Mohan, sitting in his office chair, saw the caller ID and his face instantly lit up with a smug smile.

"Wife."

"Yes, I miss you too, my husband," Jian Yixue said with a tender smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan got goosebumps all over his body.

He regretted staying in the car, having been bombarded with a dose of PDA.

I could only try to clear my mind, ignore their intimate conversation, and focus solely on driving.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan smiled tenderly and said, "Yes, I know."

Suddenly remembering something, Jian Yixue asked, "How's your situation going? How's your sister?"

"It's nothing, she's downstairs with Grandpa, I came up to take care of some things," Ye Mohan said simply.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded in relief, "That's good."

This second uncle is quite a freak, kidnapping his own relatives to threaten Ye Mohan. It makes one wonder about his thought process and structure.

Aren't Ye Mohan's relatives his relatives too?

Doing such a thing is a disgrace to the word "family affection".

She originally thought it would take Ye Mohan quite a while to get back, but she didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly.

You should know that under normal circumstances, he would have just arrived in China at this point, but unexpectedly, the problem has been resolved naturally.

He must have been very worried about Ye Ling'er's safety, and the reason he didn't show it to her was probably because he didn't want her to worry.

Indeed, how could an older brother not be anxious when his only younger sister was in trouble?

In her past life, she had never met Ye Ling'er. It seems that the butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth has changed the life trajectories of many people.

The appearance of Ye Ling'er is the best proof.

Although she didn't go back with Ye Mohan, how could she not be worried?

That crazy second uncle doesn't care about family ties at all. If Ye Mohan went back, she would face even more danger. If Ye Mohan hadn't been worried about her safety, she wouldn't have stayed here.

However, now that it seems that the second uncle of the Ye family is not so scary, Jian Yixue is not so worried anymore, and she can focus on dealing with her own affairs.

Ye Mohan leaned back in his office chair and, upon hearing the car horn across the street, said, "On the way to the Ouyang family."

“Mm,” Jian Yixue replied.

Hearing Jian Yixue's voice, Ye Mohan felt even more longing for her and couldn't help but say, "I've almost finished my business here. I'll leave the finishing touches to Lin Yi and come over tonight."

Jian Yixue refused, "No need for that trouble. Just stay in the capital and focus on your work. You've been with me for so long, you must have a lot of things to deal with."

I'll go over there tonight to see what they're planning to do, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be returning to China tomorrow.

There are no other useful clues here, and there's no point in staying.

Seeing Jian Yixue say this, Ye Mohan didn't say anything more.

"Okay, is Yu Xuan with you?" Ye Mohan asked.

Jian Yixue glanced at Zhou Yuxuan, who was driving, and said, "Yes, I'm driving."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan, who was driving, knew that his second brother was calling him. He replied, "Second brother, I'm driving. Don't worry, I'll accompany my sister-in-law and protect her."

Zhou Yuxuan was afraid that his second brother would think he was neglecting his duties, so he quickly spoke up to express his determination.

Ye Mohan nodded with satisfaction, "Don't go yourself if there's danger, let Yuxuan do it for you."

Jian Yixue was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Aren't you afraid he'll cry his eyes out if he finds out?"

"As long as you don't get hurt, it's fine. He's a big, tough man, it's his honor to protect you," Ye Mohan said dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue was deeply moved and also felt great sympathy for Zhou Yuxuan having such an unreliable brother.

This wasn't her saying; it was her second brother who said it. No wonder she said it.

"Yes, I know." Jian Yixue smiled helplessly.

She was just going to a birthday party; there was no danger whatsoever.

If it might have been possible before, now that so many things have happened, the Ouyang family probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble anymore.

Even if she acts up, she has her own ways of dealing with it.

While driving, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't help but sneeze. He sniffed and had a feeling that someone was plotting against him.

Looking at Jian Yixue who was on the phone, he felt more and more certain that he had figured out the truth.

It must be his second brother plotting against him!

But he had no evidence, so he could only think about it in his mind.

Ye Mohan nodded in satisfaction.

The two continued exchanging pleasantries for a while until they arrived at the Ouyang family's door. Only then did Jian Yixue speak, "I've arrived at the Ouyang family's house. Let's talk when we get back."

"Okay, be careful." Ye Mohan reluctantly hung up the phone.

...

At the Ouyang family's doorstep.

Zhou Yuxuan glanced at the manor in front of him and said, "Sister-in-law, this is the Ouyang family? It's nothing special. Compared to my second brother's castle villa, it's nothing."

With a family fortune like that, how dare he offend his sister-in-law and second brother? He thinks too highly of himself.

Zhou Yuxuan looked completely bewildered by the appearance of the Ouyang family.

He wouldn't have come here if he hadn't promised his second brother to protect his sister-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue smiled silently.

There's no comparison between the Ouyang family's castle and Mo Han's castle.

Although she didn't know exactly how rich Ye Mohan was, his status as the head of the Ye family, controlling the Ye Group, which was comparable to most of the economy in Z country, was something Ouyang Si'ang couldn't compare to. Moreover, Ouyang Si'ang no longer even held the position of vice president.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go in and take a look, and get this over with quickly," Jian Yixue said softly.

She didn't plan to spend much time here. She came to confirm whether the Ouyang family really had no clues and that she didn't need to waste any more time and energy on them.

At the same time, I also wanted to know what kind of trouble this father and daughter were up to, so I came over to take a look.

Zhou Yuxuan nodded. Business was important. In his mind, the Ouyang family was terrible and lacked any sense of propriety.

Jian Yixue entered the gate with the invitation specially sent by Ouyang Yunruo. The manor was full of guests, and everyone who came and went was clearly dressed up; they were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the women had exquisite makeup. They were all chatting with their friends in groups.

However, compared to the last gathering, there were obviously fewer people.

Jian Yixue glanced around and, not seeing Ouyang Yunruo, said to Zhou Yuxuan beside her, "It looks like the banquet hasn't started yet. Let's go wait over there for a while."
