Xu Qingyun had long suspected this, but for the past month or so, she had been trying to clear her mind and stop thinking about it.
She had thought it through. Whether it was seeking revenge or finding out the truth, it would take time, and she couldn't force herself.
That's why she hasn't made a move against Xu Jia.
Originally, I planned to indulge myself for a while and then get back to work.
Just as the two were whispering to each other, Xu Jia and Leng Shuang, who were in the store, saw them and came out with ill intentions.
"I thought it was someone else. Isn't this Xu Qingyun? Xu Qingyun, so you're still in Nancheng. I thought you'd slunk back to the capital with your tail between your legs."
Xu Jia looked at Ji Hanchen with a mocking expression. Even now, seeing Ji Hanchen still made her heart race, and she subconsciously called out, "Brother Hanchen."
Ji Hanchen immediately felt nauseous, his voice cold and disgusted: "Shut up!"
Xu Jia's face turned pale, feeling somewhat embarrassed, but she was still afraid of Ji Hanchen and dared not call him "Brother Hanchen" anymore.
Xu Qingyun and Ji Hanchen were both exceptionally good-looking, the kind of people who would stand out in a crowd.
People had been watching them the whole way, but as soon as Xu Jia mentioned "Xu Qingyun" and "Brother Hanchen," everyone immediately remembered them, and a lot of people gathered around.
"It really is her?! I was just wondering if this incredibly beautiful girl was the one who carried the coffin to the gate of the Ye family manor every month. I didn't expect it to really be her."
Do you know what people are saying about her online?
"The girl with the black coffin?!"
"So you knew!"
"Who doesn't know now? Xu Qingyun, the girl in the black coffin, is the granddaughter of Ye Boyun, the head of the Ye family."
"However, it seems that she has gone missing. Many media outlets have asked whether the Ye family wants Xu Qingyun to be recognized as a member of the Ye family or to inherit the Ye family, but Ye Boyun has always avoided the topic."
“How could we let her inherit? You know how much Ye Boyun dotes on Ye Xiao. She still lives at her parents' house after marriage, and she's still the vice president of Ye's Group. Xu Qingyun sent Ye Jianjia's coffin to the Ye family, which only put Ye Jianjia in the Ye family's cemetery, and nothing else changed.”
"I think so too. I guess the Ye family doesn't want to acknowledge her. It's a pity, though, she's such a beautiful girl."
There was a lot of discussion around.
Xu Qingyun frowned slightly. Although she had anticipated this outcome when she sent her mother's coffin over, she still didn't like being judged in public.
Ji Hanchen noticed her discomfort, and his sharp black eyes immediately shot out a cold glint as he coldly swept his gaze around.
An overwhelming sense of oppression instantly swept over them, and everyone around gasped and fell silent.
However, Xu Jia seemed to have been given courage by someone.
"Xu Qingyun, why are you still staying in Nancheng? There's no place for you here. The Ye family doesn't even acknowledge you, yet you shamelessly stay here. Don't you have any shame?!" Xu Jia's face was full of hatred.
Xu Qingyun looked at her coldly, "Xu Jia, if I were you, I would investigate your mother's death thoroughly."
Xu Jia's face changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth and roared, "Mind your own business! Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in my affairs?!"
But after yelling, she suddenly laughed again, "By the way, you don't know, do you? I'm not the same Xu Jia anymore. I have a new identity."
"I am now the goddaughter of the eldest daughter of the Ye family and the god-sister of Leng Shuang."
"Next Friday, the Ye family will hold a grand birthday banquet for Leng Shuang, but my identity will be revealed then."
"Are you surprised? The Ye family doesn't publicly acknowledge your identity, but they're going to publicly announce mine."
"Hmph, so what if you have the blood of the Ye family? You're still not even as good as a complete outsider like me."
Xu Jia proudly showed off, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that she was the daughter of the world's richest man.
After she finished speaking, Leng Shuang also came out. When she saw Xu Qingyun, she remembered how she had been troubled by Ji Hanchen and Xu Qingyun in the capital.
She raised her chin, looking down at people with her nostrils, "You think you can get back to the Ye family smoothly by using your mother's coffin?!"
"Hmph, dream on! The Ye family doesn't acknowledge you at all, and my maternal grandfather doesn't even recognize you as his granddaughter!"
“In my grandfather’s heart, you are an insignificant person! If I were you, I would get out of Nancheng as soon as possible!”
Xu Jia and Leng Shuang are the same at heart; they are both spoiled and arrogant, conceited and disdainful of others, like cancerous growths in wealthy families!
Xu Qingyun didn't want to lower herself to their level, so she took Ji Hanchen's hand and started to leave.
Leng Shuang blocked Xu Qingyun's path, "Xu Qingyun, what do you mean?! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?!"
"I'm not deaf, I just don't want to talk to my son when I hear the dog barking."
Leng Shuang's eyes widened immediately. "You actually called me a dog?!"
Xu Jia stepped forward angrily, "Are you sick in the head?! You're just jealous that Shuang'er and I are favored by Grandpa, so you're swearing at people? Do you have any manners?!"
Xu Qingyun felt speechless and ridiculous. "Xu Jia, you've really fallen. You used to at least have some followers, but now, in order to climb up to the Ye family, you've become Leng Shuang's lackey, biting people for your master. Your mother will probably feel sorry for you, right?"
"You... you bitch! I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Jia, exposed, immediately screamed in anger and raised her hand to hit Xu Qingyun.
Xu Qingyun was right about everything!
With her parents dead and the family business bankrupt, she was used to a life of luxury and couldn't bear to suffer!
Liang Wanrou left her something to save her life, so that she could threaten Ye Xiao to recognize her as her goddaughter. As long as she could get close to the Ye family, she would always have money to spend!
Now that Xu Qingyun had seen through her at a glance, she was furious and wished she could kill that bitch Xu Qingyun!
But before her slap could even land, Ji Hanchen grabbed her wrist!
"Ah..." Xu Jia screamed in pain, her face turning pale instantly: "Let me go!"
Ji Hanchen's grip was extremely strong, almost enough to break Xu Jia's bones!
"Get out!" Ji Hanchen shouted sharply, forcefully shoving Xu Jia away.
Xu Jia glared angrily at Xu Qingyun, then turned to look at Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang roared, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
She was arrogant, but not stupid enough to hit Xu Qingyun in front of Ji Hanchen!
"Xu Qingyun, do you dare to come to the Ye family banquet next Friday?!" Leng Shuang provoked.
She's going to put on a big live stream to humiliate Xu Qingyun so much that she'll never be able to show her face again!
Xu Qingyun showed no fear, a chilling glint in her clear eyes, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Leng Shuang gave a sinister smile: "Alright! See you on Friday!"
**
"Why should I agree? Yunyun, it's your birthday that day too, and I was planning to celebrate it for you."
Ji Hanchen frowned, and as he started the car, he asked with some disapproval.
Xu Qingyun lowered her eyes, "It's precisely because that day was also my birthday that I felt I had to go back."
"I don't care whether Ye Boyun loves me or not, but everything Leng Shuang has today is because her mother is Ye Xiao!"
"What Ye Xiao received originally belonged to my mother! I can't possibly give it to Ye Xiao and her mother after I've suffered so much and died sixteen years ago!"
"Ye Xiao, Leng Shuang, Xu Jia, it's time for a clean break! I need to cut this Gordian knot!"
