Inside the Buddhist hall, Liang Wanrou walked to the shrine, raised her hand as if to press the switch, but then frowned and put her hand down with obvious disgust.
It was filled with a mixture of excrement and urine, and there was no ventilation, so the air was foul and the smell was nauseating. She didn't want to be exposed to that disgusting smell.
Liang Wanrou lit three incense sticks, bowed three times, and then gave a cold laugh, "Ye Jianjia, the Ye family of Nancheng, right?"
The chains inside trembled, as if startled.
Liang Wanrou curled her lips into a sinister smile; she had guessed right after all!
"I really didn't expect that such a filthy bitch would be hiding such a big secret! Interesting!"
Liang Wanrou was very glad that she had spared the other party's life back then, otherwise this trump card would not exist today.
But how should this card be used?
Liang Wanrou narrowed her eyes, biting her lip as she pondered, unable to come up with a solution for the time being.
Outside the Buddhist hall, Xu Jia looked on with suspicion. Was her mother just talking to herself? Or did she truly have a connection with Buddhism and be able to communicate with Buddha?
It seems that her mother started believing in Buddhism when Xu Qingyun's mother died. She specially commissioned someone to build this Buddhist hall and invited the Buddha from the temple. After that, she worshipped the Buddha and offered incense every day.
But to say that her mother was devout doesn't seem quite right; in any case, she couldn't sense any kind of faith in Buddha from her mother.
Xu Jia quietly returned to the villa, just as Xu Sen came in from outside.
"Where's your mother?" Xu Sen asked, looking tired as he sat on the sofa.
Xu Jia plopped down on the sofa and casually said, "My mom is in the Buddhist hall. Dad, my mom was talking to the Buddha statue just now, mentioning Ye Jianjia and the Ye family of Nancheng, and saying that she was hiding such a big secret."
boom!
Xu Sen sat bolt upright as if struck by lightning, his face filled with shock: "The Ye family of Nancheng?"
"That's right. Dad, why would Mom mention the Ye family of Nancheng? Isn't the Ye family just like the Ji family, one of those super-rich families?"
Xu Jia muttered to herself.
Xu Sen's mind was in turmoil, and he had no time to pay attention to his daughter's question.
The Ye family of Nancheng! The Ye family of Nancheng?!
Ye Jianjia, the Ye family!
Got it!
I understand!
No wonder there was so much money in that card back then; it turns out Ye Jianjia is from the Ye family!
It must be.
If this matter were told to Xu Qingyun, it might be of great benefit to him and the Xu family.
Damn it!
If he had known ten years ago that Ye Jianjia was from the Ye family of Nancheng, there would have been no way he would have kicked Xu Qingyun out.
She's driven away a cash cow.
No, we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!
After thinking it over, Xu Sen shamelessly called Xu Qingyun again.
Xu Sen was only trying his luck, since Xu Qingyun had previously blocked his number, so he wasn't sure if he could get through.
However, to Xu Sen's surprise, the call actually went through, and Xu Qingyun answered.
Xu Sen was somewhat flattered. "Xiao Yun, what are you busy with?"
Xu Qingyun said coldly, "Speak your mind."
Xu Sen chuckled dryly, "Hehe, it's nothing, Dad just missed you. It's been years since we had a proper meal and chat together."
“I have nothing to talk to you about. You only care about your daughter Xu Jia. I’m just superfluous. So if you want to talk, talk to Xu Jia.”
Xu Qingyun remained calm and pretended not to know that Xu Sen was not her biological father.
Xu Sen despised her; he wouldn't have contacted her unless she still had some use to him.
She saw Xu Jia at the hospital; her clumsy disguise made her look like a clown.
Therefore, Xu Qingyun guessed that the news of her annulment of her engagement with Ji Hanchen must have already reached Xu Sen's ears.
Xu Senming knew that her engagement with the Ji family was null and void, and that Ji Hanchen had broken off relations with her, yet he still sought her out at this time, which could only mean that she still had value to him.
Xu Qingyun took out the jade pendant left by her mother and vaguely felt that it was related to her mother.
Xu Sen knew that Xu Qingyun had never liked Liang Wanrou and Xu Jia, so he said, "It's just the two of us, father and daughter. There are no outsiders."
"Let me know when you've decided."
Xu Qingyun was very decisive; she hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.
Ye Jingnan frowned slightly. "Xu Sen wouldn't invite you to dinner for no reason."
Xu Qingyun nodded, "I know, but besides Xu Sen, are there any other ways to find out more about my mother?"
She looked at Ye Jingnan with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Ye Jingnan's breath hitched, and he said bitterly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, I really don't know anything about Aunt."
"I was young then, and my family forbade me to mention it. As for the reason, I don't know."
Xu Qingyun nodded, "It's okay, cousin, I understand."
She wasn't sure if her cousin really didn't know, but she was certain he was hiding something from her.
Her cousin must have had a purpose in coming to Beijing this time, and she always felt that it was probably related to her mother.
"Xiaoyun, how are things going between you and Ji Hanchen?" Ye Jingnan suddenly changed the subject.
Xu Qingyun's fair face stiffened slightly as she immediately recalled Ji Hanchen's words.
"Xu Qingyun, do I need to say it again? I said, get out!"
A sharp pain shot through her chest, and she had some difficulty breathing. She immediately forced herself not to think about it.
Xu Qingyun lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I originally had no relationship with Ji Hanchen."
**
In the evening, a light drizzle began to fall.
One autumn rain brings a chill; although the rain wasn't heavy, the temperature dropped significantly, giving it a wintery feel.
Xu Qingyun and Ye Jingnan arrived at the restaurant Xu Senting had booked, which was very close to Yiye City.
