Xu Qingyun withdrew her hand and looked calmly at Ye Jingnan. "If my cousin wants to use this condition to force me to break up with Ji Hanchen, then there's no need to say anything."
"Although I have never been in a relationship and do not know what it feels like to like someone deeply, I know that I have fallen in love with Ji Hanchen."
“This is completely different from my previous feelings for Ji Lun. I want to hold onto him and have him.”
Ye Jingnan's pupils dilated. First, he didn't expect Xiao Yun to guess his thoughts. Second, he didn't expect Xu Qingyun to say so directly and confidently that she liked Ji Hanchen and wanted to hold onto this man!
Is it too late?
Was he ultimately too late?
I'm not reconciled.
He had known Xu Qingyun for ten years, and the first time he realized he "liked" her was when she was seventeen.
The girl's beautiful face and delicate curves reminded him that his little cousin was no longer a little girl; she had grown up.
Ye Jingnan had felt regret and confusion. He asked himself, "Are you a pervert? That's your sister. Even if we're not related by blood, she's still the girl you've spoiled and raised as your sister."
But when it rained heavily that day, Xu Qingyun found him with an umbrella and a worried look on her face, which made him completely lose his mind.
"Xiaoyun, what if it involves your mother?"
Xu Qingyun frowned. "What do you mean? You have a lead?"
Ye Jingnan shook his head, "More than that, Xiaoyun, do you believe me? This news is extremely important to you, and it can resolve all your doubts."
"Why did your aunt come to the capital back then?! Who did she meet, and who did she spend her time with?! Who is your biological father?! Why has your father never looked for you?!"
"All questions will be answered!"
Xu Qingyun's pupils contracted sharply. Could everything be resolved?
How is that possible?!
Unless there is someone who knows the mother very, very well and knows everything about her.
But if such a person really existed, he must have had an exceptionally good relationship with the mother. How could he possibly turn a blind eye to everything she did in the Xu family?!
Moreover, her mother was similar in temperament to her and would not easily open up to outsiders, so she could not tell that person about her father's affairs.
Therefore, this person does not exist.
So!
Then! Only the mother herself can answer all the questions!
So, is it possible that the mother is still alive?
Ye Jingnan came to the capital, and his uncle Ye An, who had not returned to China for ten years, also came to the capital. This seemed to confirm that his mother was still alive!
"Where is my mom now?!" Xu Qingyun exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Ye Jingnan's hand.
Ye Jingnan was only slightly surprised for a moment.
Xiaoyun is incredibly clever; she guessed it right away.
"Xiaoyun, you guessed right, your aunt is not dead, but I need you to promise me that you will break up with Ji Hanchen."
Xu Qingyun shook her head. "If my mother hadn't died, then there's no such thing as someone harming her. I don't have any deep-seated hatred for the Ji family, so that shouldn't be the reason for my breakup with Ji Hanchen."
"Xiaoyun!"
Xu Qingyun immediately stepped back, "Cousin, stop talking. Since you won't tell me where my mom is, I'll find her myself."
After saying that, she shook off Ye Jingnan and left.
Ye Jingnan watched her resolute back, his handsome face filled with bitterness.
He ultimately softened; if he had truly intended to be that despicable person, he wouldn't have said those words.
"Jingnan, did you tell Xiaoyun?" Ye An walked over slowly.
Ye Jingnan nodded, "She already knows that her aunt is still alive."
"Alright, given Xiaoyun's personality, she'll definitely go find Jiajia herself."
"Dad, you said you found Aunt that time, but you didn't say what would happen after that. Can you tell me?"
Ye An's brows furrowed sharply. "You'll find out then!"

shopping mall.
Ye Xiao is currently shopping in the mall with Leng Shuang.
Ye Xiao loves jewelry, and wherever she goes, the first thing she does is go to a jewelry store.
"Madam Leng." The manager personally greeted her and recognized Ye Xiao at a glance.
Ye Xiao frowned. "I'm glad you can get to know me, but I prefer to be called Ms. Ye."
The manager paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile. "Okay, Ms. Ye, what do you need?"
Ye Xiao said arrogantly, "Bring out your store's prized possession."
"Please wait a moment."
The manager sent someone to retrieve it from the safe.
Ye Xiao's brow suddenly furrowed. Many of the antiques in the Ancient Charm Shop were more expensive than jewelry, and they were just sitting there like that?!
When she had people smash things, Xu Qingyun was a little too calm. Was there some kind of trap?
Ye Xiao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
But then I thought, she's just a 22-year-old girl, how could she have such scheming thoughts?
Perhaps she's overthinking it.
With that thought, Ye Xiao instantly relaxed.
More and more people gathered around the jewelry store, all taking pictures of Ye Xiao.
Leng Shuang whispered, "Mom, they're all taking pictures of you."
Ye Xiao didn't even lift her eyelids. "There's nothing to be surprised about. I'm the vice president of Ye's Group. I usually promote public welfare. It's perfectly normal for people to recognize me, take pictures, and fawn over me."
Leng Shuang, however, spent all her time online and immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Mom, they..."
Before Leng Shuang could finish speaking, an angry voice rang out from the crowd.
"Does having money give you the right to trample on other people's dignity and destroy their hard work?!"
"Exactly! This is supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Ye family?! Arrogant, domineering, ruthless, she ruined Gu Yun Fang and still has the nerve to come shopping here, she's utterly scum!"
Ye Xiao looked over coldly and said, "Defamation is a criminal offense. Instead of wasting time spouting nonsense to gain clicks, you should read more books and learn some legal knowledge."
Ye Xiao is arrogant, but also clever. She knows how to maintain her image and how to easily distort the truth.
However, the man spat and said sarcastically, "Slander?! Have you forgotten how arrogant and domineering you were in Guyunfang?"
Ye Xiao was extremely annoyed.
It was at this moment that her phone rang. It was Ye Boyun, the head of the Ye family and Ye Xiao's father.
"Dad." Ye Xiao's voice softened instantly.
Ye Boyun shouted angrily, "Xiaoxiao, you have disappointed me greatly!"
"Dad?!" Ye Xiao exclaimed incredulously.
Ye Boyun roared, "The Guyunfang incident has already caused quite a stir!"
Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes sharply, "I don't know what's being said online, but I'm innocent! I didn't do anything to Gu Yun Fang. If you don't believe me, then forget it!"
She spoke with such conviction, as if she had truly been wronged, and that was her skill.
Ye Boyun was utterly disheartened. "The video has already been released online, yet you still show no remorse and are desperately trying to deny it. You have disappointed me greatly!"
After saying that, Ye Boyun hung up the phone with extreme heartache.
Ye Xiao's face was equally grim. She wanted to know which reckless person had leaked the Gu Yun Fang story online and even filmed the so-called video!
