She wants to save time to experience the world; she wants to be someone who wins without effort.

"No!" Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize said in unison.

Jian Yixue, "..."

Why is it that what others cherish so dearly becomes a hot potato for his parents?

Suddenly, Gong Beize raised an eyebrow and glanced meaningfully at Ye Mohan, who was busy not far away.

"Xiaoxue, there is still a chance for things to turn around."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked at Gong Beize and asked, "Dad, is there any way?"

Upon hearing that she could escape her miserable fate as a bricklayer, Jian Yixue immediately perked up.

In front of Jian Yixue, Gong Beize glanced meaningfully at Ye Mohan not far away and said, "As long as you can persuade Mohan to help you, you can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

He knew Ye Mohan's abilities, especially the Ye Group, which had risen to prominence and was now even more powerful than his own GL. He was at ease entrusting the company to him.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue glanced at Ye Mohan, who was busy not far away, and her face immediately darkened. She spoke up for Ye Mohan, feeling indignant.

"Dad, you haven't seen how busy Mo Han is with just the Ye family. If you let him manage the Jian family and your GL Group, he'll be exhausted. I don't agree."

Jian Yixue pretended to clasp her hands in a fist salute.

Furthermore, Ye Mohan has other identities, which makes him even busier.

Seeing how good the relationship was between the two, Dongfang Tinglan exclaimed with genuine relief.

Gong Beize waved his hand with feigned helplessness and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. You'll have to do it yourself."

Jian Yixue gasped for breath, took a deep breath, and said, "Dad, am I still your sweet little darling?"

Gong Beize smiled without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jian Yixue suddenly turned her gaze to Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Mom, you should control Dad. Look at how old he is, still acting like a scoundrel towards me."

Seeing her parents teasing her, Dongfang Tinglan felt extremely happy and content.

She smiled and said, "How can your mother control your father? Besides, your father and I are on the same side in this matter."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue knew that her attempt to turn the enemy against her had failed.

Just as she was about to retort, she heard Dongfang Tinglan's words again.

"Xue'er, your father and I are getting old. From now on, we plan to be a free and leisurely couple and don't want to be disturbed by these mundane things."

"And you and Mo Han are so young, it's the time when you need experience and growth. This is a good opportunity for you to practice and earn some extra money for the baby in your belly—the kind of money you young people talk about for formula and diapers."

Jian Yixue, "..."

So she and Mo Han don't need any time alone together?

What is all this nonsense?

As for baby formula and diapers, even if she had dozens or hundreds more, she wouldn't run out of money. She's rich! Besides, she has a husband who's incredibly wealthy, so she doesn't need to earn any money.

This is clearly an excuse her parents are using to shirk responsibility and abandon her, and she's not having it!

Just as she was about to speak, Gong Beize interrupted her.

Gong Beize said, "Xiaoxue, your mother and I missed each other for decades because of a misunderstanding. Now that we can finally reunite, we must cherish the rest of our lives. As our daughter, you certainly don't want us to have regrets when we get old, right?"

Upon hearing the sound, Jian Yixue gasped for breath and took a deep breath.

Her father's words completely blocked her way out. If she didn't agree, she would seem a bit heartless; if she agreed, she wouldn't be able to live with herself.

Just as she was pondering how to kick the ball back, a deep and magnetic male voice suddenly reached her ears.

"Xue'er".

"Mom and Dad."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue felt extremely aggrieved and threw herself into Ye Mohan's arms.

"Mo Han, my parents are bullying me."

Ye Mohan was taken aback. He glanced at Jian Yixue in his arms, then at Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize opposite him.

Then he said, "Tell me how your parents have bullied you, and I'll be your judge."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue told Ye Mohan everything, leaving Ye Mohan both amused and exasperated.

"Just this?"

He thought it was something serious.

Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan with misty eyes, "Isn't this a big deal?"

Ye Mohan hugged Jian Yixue and smiled, "It's alright. Since Mom and Dad want to retire early, it's not a big problem for us to help manage things."

Jane said, "But I don't want you to be too tired."

Ye Mohan gently stroked Jian Yixue's dark hair and said, "I'm not tired. I'm willing to do anything for Xue'er."

At worst, we can just give Lin Yi a raise and make him run around all three places.

Lin Yi: President, thank you.

Upon hearing this, Gong Beize smiled and praised, "Yes, Mo Han is the best at it."

Ye Mohan bowed slightly and said, "It's my pleasure."

...

Lancheng.

The best five-star hotel in the area – the French Riviera Hotel.

In the presidential suite on the top floor.

The woman, who had just arrived from the airport, instructed her entourage to put away their luggage. She then took a shower and left with two bodyguards.

At the entrance of the Nie family villa.

A red Maserati pulled up at the entrance, and the bodyguards in the van behind got out first and opened the door to the Maserati.

A short while later, a long, slender, fair-skinned woman in high heels stepped out of the car.

After getting out of the car, the woman took off her sunglasses and looked at the villa, which no longer resembled its former grandeur, feeling a mix of emotions.

Then he looked at the people beside him and said, "You wait here for me, I'll go in by myself."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Madam, Young Master Ao has ordered us to protect you at all times..."

The woman glanced coldly at the bodyguards and said, "This is my territory, and no one can do anything to me. You'd better keep your mouths shut, and don't forget who your masters are now."

The bodyguard's expression changed immediately upon realizing the woman's methods, and he quickly changed his words, saying, "Madam, please. We're right at the door; please feel free to contact us if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, the woman nodded in satisfaction.

Only then did he step forward and press the doorbell. After a long time, just when the woman thought the information was wrong...

Then a sound came from inside.

Who is it?

Then, the woman saw the housekeeper, who looked much older, come out of the room.

The butler was quite surprised when he saw the woman. He stood there stunned for a while before stepping forward and saying, "Miss Ruo, is it really you?"

The woman nodded and said, "Butler, it's me. Is Grandpa home?"

That's right, the woman was Ouyang Yunruo, who had disappeared for more than a year.

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately burst into tears, saying, "Yes, yes, Master has always been at home."

Miss Ruo, you're really back! The old man will be so happy to see you.

The old man was helpless in the face of what happened back then, and he was equally devastated by his wife's passing, and he still hasn't recovered.
