Xu Qingyun sneered, "Looks like I guessed right. But what gives you the right?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that the Ji family killed my mother? Couldn't it have been Liang Wanrou and Xu Sen?!"
"Xiaoyun, your uncle will definitely find the evidence!!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyun could no longer contain her anger and erupted in fury for the first time, "So you have no evidence at all?!"
"Without any evidence, you hired someone to kill that driver and almost took Ji Hanchen's life! You are absolutely terrifying!"
"You treat human life like dirt, how are you any different from murderers?!"
Xu Qingyun stormed out of the study, her body trembling as she walked!
It turns out the car accident was really caused by the older brother and uncle!
Therefore, it's not wrong for Shen Luo to suspect and hate her!
Ye Jingnan hadn't entered the study, but had remained outside the door, so he naturally overheard the entire conversation.
Seeing Xu Qingyun come out angrily, he grabbed her hand!
Xu Qingyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she glared at the hand on her wrist and said sharply, "Let me go!"
Ye Jingnan was shocked by Xu Qingyun's performance; he had never seen Xu Qingyun so intense before!
"Xiaoyun, there's no future for you and Ji Hanchen. If he knew the truth about the car accident, do you think he would still be with you?"
Xu Qingyun retorted coldly, "What does the car accident have to do with me?! It's you, not us! Grudges should be clearly distinguished."
Watching her leave, Ye Jingnan pursed his thin lips, then went into the study. "Dad, why did you tell her now?!"
Ye An didn't answer, but murmured, "Still no news about Jiajia?"
**
On the other side, the Ji family ancestral home.
Ji Hanchen, exuding a chilling aura, strode into the old house and headed straight for Ren Anjing's study.
Ren Anjing has a separate study. Unlike Ji Huai's poetic and artistic style, Ren Anjing's study is very serious, with bookshelves filled with documents and some economic books.
There is also a huge safe in the study, used to store some very important documents.
Ji Hanchen pushed open the door and entered. Ren Anjing was wearing glasses and looking at documents, and she was very dissatisfied with Ji Hanchen's behavior.
"Ji Hanchen, what happened to the manners you were taught since childhood?"
Ji Hanchen strode over and slammed his hands on the table with a loud "thud!" "Did you kill Ye Jianjia?!"
The blunt and intense questioning made Ren Anjing's expression change instantly. "Ji Hanchen, do you know who you're talking to?! I'm your mother, and this is how you talk to your mother?!"
"Answer me, yes or no!" Ji Hanchen pressed again, his aura intimidating.
Ren Anjing's chest heaved violently; she felt utterly wronged.
"Ji Hanchen, do you even have a heart?"
"I did my best to nurture you, but you treat me like an enemy, and even question me for the sake of an outsider, disregarding my feelings!"
"I just want to know, in my dearest son's heart, how heartless must I be to kill a complete stranger?!"
Ren Anjing questioned her son while pounding her chest, deeply disappointed in him.
Ji Hanchen pursed his thin lips, not failing to see Ren Anjing's heartbreak.
Having grown up with an oppressive education, Ren Anjing only criticized him and made him constantly strive to be better. He couldn't feel maternal love, so it was impossible for him to get along with Ren Anjing like a normal mother and son!
"You were the one who arranged Ye Jianjia's marriage to Xu Sen, weren't you?"
Ren Anjing's eyes flickered. "That's right. Back then, your father was a womanizer, and I was worried that Ye Jianjia would threaten my position in the Ji family."
"At that time, Ye Jianjia was already pregnant. I thought the child in her belly was your father's, and I was worried that if it was a boy, he would take away your position as heir."
"After discovering that Xu Sen had fallen in love with Ye Jianjia at first sight, I secretly arranged several chance encounters between them."
"In that respect, I was indeed the one who facilitated their marriage."
"But I haven't paid any attention to Ye Jianjia since then, because she's no longer a threat to me or to you."
Ji Hanchen sneered, "Is that all?"
Ren Anjing's face was icy cold. "I have no reason to lie to you for a dead person!"
"Ye Jianjia is just an orphan with no powerful backing. I can't possibly see her as a thorn in my side. But..."
Before she could finish speaking, the butler's voice came from outside the study, "Mr. Ren, Leng Shuang, the granddaughter of the Ye family in Nancheng, has arrived."
Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, Leng Shuang rushed in, "Godmother, I've been bullied!"
Ji Hanchen narrowed his eyes sharply. This woman was actually Ren Anjing's goddaughter?!
Haha, he had no idea.
Ren Anjing rarely smiled. "Shuang'er, don't cry."
“Godmother, I…” Leng Shuang finally noticed Ji Hanchen and was speechless for a moment.
"Shuang'er, this is Ji Hanchen, my son, your sworn brother. You can call him Brother Chen." Ren Anjing was intentionally trying to play matchmaker, attracted by the status and position of Leng Shuang's mother, Ye Xiao.
Leng Shuang refused to call out, "I don't want to. My uncle scolded me because of Xu Qingyun. He's Xu Qingyun's boyfriend, and I hate him."
Ren Anjing's expression instantly changed. "Xu Qingyun?! Ji Hanchen, you've actually gotten together with her again?! Have you forgotten that she broke off the engagement while you were unconscious?!"
Ji Hanchen turned around and said coldly, "Who I'm with is my business, and it's none of anyone else's business."
"Stop right there!" Ren Anjing shouted sharply.
Ji Hanchen ignored him and strode away.
Ren Anjing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "You just keep going against me! You'll regret it sooner or later!"
He rejected countless socialite girls, yet insisted on choosing a girl with no background or social standing!
no!
We absolutely cannot let him marry Xu Qingyun; he'll ruin his future!
"Shuang'er, did your mother tell you why she came to the capital?"
Leng Shuang pouted, "I told you, I'm going on a blind date to marry Ji Hanchen."
“But godmother, I don’t want a man who has another woman in his heart. I, Leng Shuang, am the little princess of the Ye family, and I deserve better.”
Leng Shuang was arrogant and domineering, believing that even if the sky fell, her grandfather would hold it up for her, and she didn't want a man who didn't like her.
Ren Anjing playfully scolded her, "So what if he doesn't like you? A capable woman can make a man who doesn't like her fall head over heels for her!"
Leng Shuang, however, had no such ambition. "I don't want to. Godmother, do you know that Xu Qingyun's mother is actually my maternal grandfather's illegitimate daughter, who is also my aunt? I'm so angry!"
Ren Anjing was startled. "You mean Ye Jianjia is... from the Ye family?"
"Yes!" Leng Shuang gritted her teeth in anger. "My uncle and my cousin have both come to the capital, just for Xu Qingyun."
Ren Anjing never expected that Ye Jianjia would be the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family!
But even if it's fierce, so what?
Illegitimate daughters can never compare to real heiresses.
She had investigated the Ye family. The old man of the Ye family was a doting father to his daughter, Ye Xiao, and now the Ye Group was in Ye Xiao's hands.
Given Ye Xiao's status in the Ye family, it is highly likely that she will completely take control of the Ye family!
Therefore, as Ye Xiao's daughter and the most beloved granddaughter of the Ye family patriarch, Leng Shuang will undoubtedly become the heir of the Ye family!
