Ye Jianjia is Xu Qingyun's biological mother. Like a mystery, no one knows where she came from or when she disappeared.
Xu Qingyun sat on the edge of the study, propping her cheek with one hand, staring blankly at Ye Jianjia's photo.
Just half an hour ago, her cousin Ye Jingnan called her.
"Xiaoyun, I checked Aunt's bank card, and there's no money in it."
Xu Qingyun frowned slightly. "Did Mom leave me a blank card?"
"yes."
Xu Qingyun immediately followed up with, "What about the transaction records? I remember that banks can keep transaction records for more than five years, and black cards should keep them for more than ten years."
Ye Jingnan nodded, "Yes, Aunt's card is very special. Only those with a deposit of over 100 million can become Black VIP cards, and transaction records can be kept for 15 years. But this card has no transaction records."
"And strangely enough, although there was no balance, the card was not dormant."
Xu Qingyun found it increasingly unbelievable as she listened, which is why she stared blankly at her mother's photo after hanging up the phone.
If it weren't for Xu Hongru, Xu Qingyun wouldn't have returned to China, and therefore wouldn't have investigated Xu Hongru's death, which would have implicated Ye Jianjia.
Judging from the Black Venerable Card, Ye Jianjia's identity is not simple.
But Xu Sen said Ye Jianjia was an orphan, so where did she get so much money?! And where did the money in her card go?
Ye Jianjia had no friends in the capital, so few people knew her. The only one who wanted to understand her was Xu Sen.
Xu Qingyun felt a chill when she thought of Xu Sen, because he was unworthy to be her father and unworthy to marry her mother.
If only I knew someone who knew my mother.
Suddenly, Xu Qingyun was taken aback. Ji Huai had known her grandfather, Xu Hongru, for many years. Would he hear her grandfather talk about her mother?
**
On the other side, Yao Xueying was also sitting in the storage room, flipping through the photo album one by one.
There were already many photo albums she had looked at piled up next to her, but none of them contained the person she was looking for.
Ji Lun frowned. "Mom, stop looking. Maybe it's just your imagination."
Yao Xueying glared at him. "Impossible! A woman's intuition is very accurate. I'm sure I've seen it before."
Ever since she saw Xu Qingyun's true face, her mind has been filled with that aloof and stunningly beautiful face.
"Strange, why isn't it here?" Yao Xueying muttered to herself.
But then, a thought suddenly struck her, and she jumped up: "I remember now!"
Ji Lun raised an eyebrow. "Remember now? Where have I seen you before? The Xu family?"
Yao Xueying waved her hand, "Of course not, I didn't know anyone from the Xu family before, I only met them in your grandfather's studio!"
Ji Huai was also exceptionally talented in his youth. Although his romantic history was too rich, it could not overshadow his talent.
Ji Huai loved painting when he was young, but he rarely stayed in the studio for several days in a row.
There was one exception, however.
Yao Xueying was pregnant with Ji Lun at the time and was hoping for a son so that her husband could inherit the Ji family business. Therefore, she was particularly attentive to Ji Huai.
She went to the art studio to deliver ginseng soup to Ji Huai, and happened to see the painting that Ji Huai had just finished!
The woman in the painting has eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like almond kernels, and exquisitely beautiful features.
At that time, she was wearing a shimmering gold cheongsam, her figure was graceful, and her smile when she turned around was breathtaking.
Yao Xueying was young at the time, a beautiful young woman, and at that time she was proud and arrogant, and couldn't stand being prettier than her.
But with just one glance, she was stunned, instantly understanding why some women could make a man fall in love at first sight.
The woman in the painting is her.
The painting had inscriptions on it; in the lower right corner were Ji Huai's tender words—"Jianjia" (蒹葭).
Yao Xueying exclaimed excitedly, "Ye Jianjia! She looks just like Ye Jianjia! Lunlun, Mom remembers, Xu Qingyun is just like Ye Jianjia, she was the one who made your grandfather completely infatuated!"
"So that's why your grandfather arranged a marriage for Ji Hanchen when he was a child! Xu Qingyun is Ye Jianjia's daughter!"
Ji Lun's pupils shrank. "Grandpa and Xu Qingyun's mother?! That... is several decades apart!"
Yao Xueying snorted coldly, "Not surprising. Your grandfather was notorious for his womanizing when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to divorce and remarry repeatedly."
"Lunlun, you really need to think about this carefully. Whether you can win Xu Qingyun's heart might depend on it."
Ji Lun nodded, recalling the time when Xu Qingyun had a fever and cried out for her mother, she must have missed her mother very much.
He remembered that Xu Qingyun lost her mother when she was six years old, so she probably didn't know much about Ye Jianjia, which he could make good use of.
"Mom, tell me more about Ye Jianjia." Ji Lun said with a determined look on his face.
**
It was nearly midnight when the city was bustling with activity.
The private room where Ji Hanchen and his group were located was unusually quiet.
Ji Hanchen wasn't a heavy drinker, but at that moment he drank one glass after another until he was drunk.
Lu Chuan and Shen Luo weren't much better off. For every drink Ji Hanchen had, they would drink one with him, until they ended up throwing up.
Bai Ruiting arrived in a hurry because of surgery. When he arrived, the three men were already lying haphazardly on the ground.
"this……"
Bai Ruiting was stunned, a hint of helplessness appearing on his gentle and handsome face.
He rubbed his sore shoulders, then moved all three of them to the sofa.
It seems like none of these three had a good day.
Bai Ruiting sighed and called Xia Chu first.
"Sister-in-law, Shen Luo has had too much to drink. Could you please send someone to pick him up? I still have to take Lu Chuan and Han Chen to school, so I can't get away."
After hanging up, Bai Ruiting asked Jiang Xun to help Ji Hanchen and Lu Chuan get into the car.
"Shen Luo is fine here, you take Lu Chuan back."
Jiang Xun nodded, "Okay, Dr. Bai. By the way, Dr. Bai, Miss Xu has moved to President Ji's place. Please make sure you don't get the address wrong."
