Then he looked to Jane for help with his eyes.
Jian Yixue smiled and her eyes crinkled as she watched his funny actions: "It's okay, it's good to have some fun, I don't mind."
She turned and looked up at Ye Mohan, as if asking a question silently.
Ye Mohan naturally understood what she meant. He adjusted the coat draped over her shoulders and said softly, "It's up to you."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's smile widened, and Ye Mohan put his arm around Jian Yixue and sat her down in the center of the sofa.
The private room began to regain its previous liveliness.
Aside from Jian Jiaojiao, who glared at Jian Yixue in the corner with eyes full of resentment, as if poisoned, Jian Jiaojiao stared intently at Jian Yixue in the center of the sofa.
Why should Jian Yixue, who has always been inferior to her since childhood, be the center of attention? Moreover, any one of these people would be a top figure in the capital.
The man who obeyed her every command was admired by countless socialites in the capital. Why should he serve her so devotedly?
She was unwilling to accept it. Everything that Jian Yixue possessed should belong to her. She had been able to win against Jian Yixue once before, and she could do it again this time. That man could only belong to her, Jian Jiaojiao!
The man in the center of the sofa seemed to sense something, looked over at Jian Jiaojiao with a murderous look in his eyes, as if issuing a warning, before looking away.
Jian Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat at the sight; his expression seemed to indicate that he knew what she was about to do.
How could that be? He's not a god, how could he possibly know what she's thinking!
Impossible!
Jian Jiaojiao comforted herself.
——
Here, Shen Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief. His sister-in-law was wise; otherwise, he would have been forced to go to purgatory.
He sat down next to Wu Xiao, put one arm around her waist, and picked up the red wine on the table with the other to slowly enjoy it.
Wu Xiao, who was in his arms, was very uncomfortable. She lay in his arms with dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Xi, you are one of the top figures in the capital. Why do you lower yourself to beg for some woman who just appeared out of nowhere? Maybe Young Master Han is just playing around."
Wu Xiao already disliked Jian Yixue because Jian Yixue had stolen Jian Jiaojiao's sweetheart and made Jian Jiaojiao sad. Seeing Shen Chenxi's attitude when he begged Jian Yixue made him even more dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, Shen Chenxi's expression changed. He pushed Wu Xiao out of his arms and looked at her with cold eyes: "Shut up. That's my sister-in-law, my second brother's woman. You have no right to talk about her."
Seeing him scold her for defending Jian Yixue, Wu Xiao burst into tears, sobbing aggrievedly, "Brother Xi, you're scolding me for that woman, but I'm your girlfriend. You're not thinking of taking advantage of me and then abandoning me..."
"Shut up! If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here!"
Shen Chenxi was furious. How come she hadn't noticed before that this woman was a bit dim-witted?
Jian Jiaojiao had noticed the situation earlier and wanted to see them upset Jian Yixue, so she didn't get up to persuade her.
Seeing Jian Yixue being pampered like that made her insanely jealous. If it weren't for her appearance, that would have belonged to her.
Hearing Shen Chenxi angrily tell them to get out, she couldn't sit still. She wanted to see that man a few more times and was reluctant to leave.
She moved over and tugged at Wu Xiao, who was throwing a tantrum, signaling her to stop.
But Wu Xiao was in a fit of anger and had no sense of reason. Her mind was filled with the thought that Shen Chenxi would abandon her for Jian Yixue.
If she leaves now, he will definitely never contact her again. She finally managed to hook up with Shen Chenxi, a rich man, and she is unwilling to give him up now.
Even if she couldn't have it, she didn't want Jian Yixue to have it either.
She stood up angrily and shouted, "Chenxi, are you going to abandon me for her? She's your sister-in-law! How could you treat her like that..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chenxi was furious. She stood up abruptly and slapped her, yelling, "Shut up! Get out of here!"
In an instant, all eyes turned to Shen Chenxi and Wu Xiao. Ye Mohan's gaze seemed to want to kill them to silence them, while the culprit Wu Xiao mentioned was staring blankly at the scene before him.
Wu Xiao covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks, and demanded, "You said you didn't care about her? You actually hit me for that bitch! I'll fight you to the death!"
Shen Chenxi grabbed Wu Xiao by the neck as Wu Xiao lunged at him and said fiercely, "Have you made enough trouble? Don't think you can act recklessly just because I'm easygoing. If you keep causing trouble, I'll make sure you can't even stay in the capital. Now get out of here!"
He never imagined that the true nature of the obedient, sensible, and pleasing woman he knew would be so terrifying.
At this moment, Wu Xiao felt a wave of fear. Yes, if the person in front of her were to get angry, the entire capital would be engulfed in a bloodbath. She had been so immersed in the pleasures of life lately that she had forgotten.
Seeing this, Jian Jiaojiao, who was standing nearby, hated Wu Xiao to the core. He was utterly useless and only caused trouble. But her eyes reddened as she looked at Jian Yixue with a wronged expression: "Sister, how could you just stand by and do nothing? Their argument started because of you..."
Jian Jiaojiao stopped speaking halfway through her sentence and lowered her head in silence.
Upon hearing Jian Jiaojiao's words, everyone's eyes instantly swept towards the two people in the center of the sofa.
That girl was actually my sister-in-law's younger sister? But my sister-in-law didn't acknowledge her when she came in? What's going on?
Something fishy is going on? That was the consensus among everyone.
Aside from Chu Yi, who knew the inside story, he looked at Jian Yixue with a furrowed brow.
Meanwhile, the protagonist of this incident, Jian Yixue, remained seated in the same spot, her expression unchanged.
Ye Mohan, standing beside her, had a somber expression, but seeing Jian Yixue's state, he knew she wanted to handle things herself, so he sat down and waited.
She slowly put down her wine glass and looked sharply at Jian Jiaojiao not far away: "I said before at the Jian family that I don't remember my mother leaving me any brothers or sisters."
Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao felt a burning hatred for Jian Yixue.
Concealing the ruthlessness in her eyes, she looked up, tears welling in her eyes, appearing pitiful: "Sister, it's okay if you don't like me, but you are indeed my blood sister. Don't be angry with Dad. It's all my fault, no matter what. Dad loves you very much. Can you come home and see Dad when you have time?"
"Furthermore, what does their conflict have to do with me? Since you're so eager to play peacemaker, why don't you go and beg Shen Chenxi instead of turning around and asking me for help? What are you trying to achieve?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room reacted in various ways, especially Shen Chenxi, whose face darkened with displeasure as he looked at Jian Jiaojiao.
Although he usually acts carefree and irresponsible, he is, after all, the heir of the Shen family and has lived in the capital city circle since childhood. If you think about it carefully, you'll understand what these methods are all about.
Jian Jiaojiao's words seemed reasonable at first glance, but upon closer examination, they were actually an attempt to confirm his affair with his sister-in-law. What a brilliant scheme, killing two birds with one stone, achieving her goal while clearing herself of any wrongdoing.
