On Xu Qingyun's end, after hanging up the phone, she bit her pink lips, a hint of annoyance seeping into her cool eyes.
What exactly did Ji Hanchen mean? Was he deliberately humiliating her?!
He said things like "Yunyun, I like you," and even said he would teach her to like him, but what was the result?!
He immediately got engaged to Qin Shuang, calling her "my fiancée" at every turn. What does he take her for?
She herself was puzzled as to why she minded so much. Was this a sign of liking someone?
"Xiaoyun, what are you thinking about?" Ye Jingnan greeted her, holding an umbrella.
Xu Qingyun shook her head, "It's nothing, I just ran into an idiot."
Ye Jingnan was slightly taken aback; Xiaoyun was angry.
She is very reserved in her emotions; even when she is angry or happy, she rarely shows any obvious emotions.
It's probably related to Ji Hanchen.
I just saw her standing in the rain, lost in thought; she was clearly a young girl troubled by love.
Xiaoyun eventually fell in love, but unfortunately no one taught her what love was, so she was confused.
He didn't want Xu Qingyun to continue thinking about Ji Hanchen. This trip to Beijing was not only because of Ye Jianjia, but also to stop Xiaoyun from being with Ji Hanchen.
Ye Jingnan held the umbrella over her head and asked softly, "What did Xu Sen say to you?"
"He said I'm from the Ye family of Nancheng." Xu Qingyun glanced at Ye Jingnan. "Cousin, is my mother from the Ye family, the most powerful family in Nancheng?"
Ye Jingnan opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes."
"If that's the case, why have my cousin and uncle never mentioned it to me?"
Ye Jingnan fell silent.
I don't want to lie to her, but I really can't tell her; it's too complicated.
Xu Qingyun's eyes flickered, but she didn't make things difficult for him. "Let's go, cousin."
**
Ye Jingnan owns a property in Beijing, a European-style detached villa, which had been vacant until now.
There were no outsiders here; the huge villa was only occupied by Xu Qingyun and her brother Ye Jingnan.
After Xu Qingyun went upstairs, Ye Jingnan went to the garden and called his father, Ye An, "Dad, Xiaoyun knows that Auntie comes from the Ye family."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, before a long pause was followed by a question: "Have you found your aunt?"
Ye Jingnan shook his head, "Not yet."
"Continue the investigation."
"Dad, are you so sure Aunt is still alive?"
"Hmm." The voice on the other end was very low and deep.
Ye Jingnan looked at Xu Qingyun's room and said, "Just based on one phone call from Xu Hongru, you're concluding that Aunt is still alive? Isn't that a bit arbitrary? After all, Aunt has been dead for sixteen years."
Ye An did not answer immediately, and after a while he slowly spoke, "I can feel that Jiajia is still alive. Xu Hongru was in a coma for ten years, and after waking up he contacted the Ye family, which is unusual."
"Dad, you've never told me what Xu Hongru said on the phone."
Ye An sighed, "He said Jiajia might still be alive."
"Maybe?! In other words, he's not sure either?" Ye Jingnan was somewhat uncertain.
Ye An hummed in agreement. "That call was very rushed. He only said one sentence before hanging up hastily. I'm afraid he was discovered and had to end the call."
Ye Jingnan narrowed his eyes, "Could it be Liang Wanrou?"
Ye An sneered, "I don't know, but Jiajia's accident is definitely related to Xu Sen and that woman."
"You stay in the capital and find Jiajia as soon as possible, and then..."
He paused for a moment, then said with a hint of bitterness, "Let's look for it first, and then we'll talk about it."
Ye Jingnan nodded, "I understand."

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The investigation into the car accident has not been completed, or perhaps Ji Hanchen is having some concerns.
Xu Qingyun frequented Guyunfang every day, secretly observing Uncle Liu, but Old Liu didn't seem to be acting strangely.
Recently, there has been a lot of news about Qin Shuang and Ji Hanchen, mostly from Ji Hanchen's WeChat Moments.
Xu Qingyun used to not browse WeChat Moments much, but for some reason, she now unconsciously opens it whenever she has free time.
She would skip over other people's posts, but she would click on Ji Hanchen's posts.
—The eldest daughter of the Qin family has excellent cooking skills.
—Today's dish is steamed pork ribs, but Miss Qin's ribs are a bit fatty.
—I wanted to eat beef brisket this morning, and Ms. Qin delivered it promptly. Thank you for your hard work.
—My injury is almost healed. I was discharged from the hospital today and went to a nightclub with friends. Miss Qin was there too.
Xu Qingyun could remember every single post Ji Hanchen made on his WeChat Moments. Besides feeling uncomfortable, she also thought he was quite idle.
But she didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to go online to find out.
She was afraid it was because she was attracted to someone.
In the evening, Uncle Liu knocked on the door and came in. "Miss, you wanted to see me?"
Xu Qingyun nodded and handed a scroll to Uncle Liu, her voice gentle, "This painting has been restored for a long time, but no one has come to pick it up. Could you please deliver it to him?"
Antiques are all valuable, especially Tang Bohu's paintings.
Now that it has been repaired, it should be returned to its rightful owner. If it is kept and problems arise, it will not only involve compensation, but may also damage the brand.
Gu Yun Fang was the culmination of Xu Hongru's life's work, and Xu Qingyun didn't want her grandfather to be unable to rest in peace.
Old Liu was a little embarrassed. "Miss, my husband is in the hospital, and I would like to ask you for leave."
Xu Qingyun was taken aback. "What illness does Aunt Liu have?"
Old Liu sighed, "It's an old problem. I had coronary heart disease in my forties and have been in shock several times."
Xu Qingyun's calm expression was slightly touched. "Uncle Liu, you go ahead, I'll deliver it myself."
