Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng, who was standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looked displeased.
Just as Jian Yixue said, he was already here when the argument started downstairs.
Hearing Jian Jiaojiao's words, he realized that this was how Qiao Yaxiang had told her daughter about her existence, which clearly meant that he was the one who was fickle.
He felt an increasing loathing for Qiao Yaxiang.
The reason he didn't go down was that he didn't want to get involved; he didn't want to help either side. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Jian Yixue's words.
His face turned extremely pale in an instant.
He then walked out from the corner on the second floor, his gaze still sinister and full of displeasure.
When Qiao Yaxiang saw the person at the bottom of the stairs, a look of panic appeared on her face.
Why did he come down?
Did he hear everything?
Her true self, which she had hidden for many years, was now known to the person she least wanted to know.
For a moment, I felt incredibly panicked.
Jian Jiaojiao was somewhat surprised to see Jian Mingpeng coming down, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved since she hadn't done anything out of line.
Jian Mingpeng walked to the sofa, his face terribly gloomy, but he didn't reprimand Qiao Yaxiang in front of Jian Yixue.
He then looked at Jian Yixue, his attitude softening slightly, though he was still somewhat displeased. "This is my family matter, I will handle it myself, you don't need to worry about it, go back first."
"I have no interest in Mr. Jane's family affairs, but do you think I would leave just because this old woman has smeared my mother like this?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng's eyes darkened, as if he disliked others bringing up what he considered a humiliating past.
His face was filled with displeasure.
"So what do you want?"
"It's nothing, I just want to know the truth."
Jian Yixue crossed her arms in front of her chest and said coldly and confidently.
Jian Mingpeng's gloomy gaze fell on Jian Yixue, who glared back defiantly.
The two sides persisted for a long time. Finally, when Jian Mingpeng saw the persistence and seriousness in Jian Yixue's eyes, he knew that Qiao Yaxiang would not give up until she told the truth.
Turning to look at Qiao Yaxiang, Jian Mingpeng's displeasure and disgust were evident in his words.
As the person who knows Jian Mingpeng best, Qiao Yaxiang naturally knows this very well. She also knows that Jian Mingpeng hates it most when others gossip about his past.
Once this happens, she'll probably suffer a lot in the future.
Qiao Yaxiang covered the wound on her forehead, her face pale, and looked at Jian Jiaojiao, saying, "I was just making things up. Your father didn't know me when he married Dongfang Tinglan, so there was no such thing as Dongfang Tinglan ruining my relationship with your father."
Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao's face drained of color; she was momentarily unable to accept it.
For over a decade, she had presented herself as a victor, but the identity she was so proud of turned out to be a lie.
It turns out she was the mistress's daughter.
What's even more ridiculous is that she actually flaunted her fake identity in front of Jian Yixue, whom she despised the most in her life.
But it turned out that Jian Yixue knew the truth, so she stood in front of her like a fool, talking to herself.
Jian Jiaojiao couldn't bear it and shook her head violently, "It's impossible, I can't be a mistress's daughter, impossible!" After saying that, she ran upstairs crying.
Qiao Yaxiang felt heartbroken seeing her daughter so upset.
It's all Jane Yixue's fault!
Her return turned her entire life upside down, disrupting any semblance of peace.
The more Qiao Yaxiang thought about it, the more she hated Jian Yixue.
Jian Mingpeng stood there, listening to Jian Jiaojiao's cries as he ran upstairs, seeing his wife with a bloody head and his family falling apart.
He grew increasingly disliked Jian Yixue, his gaze darkening as he looked at her. "Enough! What else do you want!"
"Is that enough? Heh... You can't even handle this? This is nothing compared to what I endured when I was five."
This is just the beginning.
Whatever the Jian family owes me, and whatever they owe my mother, I will collect it all, principal and interest.
Jian Yixue looked at Jian Mingpeng with a cold gaze and said without showing any weakness.
Jian Mingpeng's face darkened horribly after hearing this, and he clenched his fists behind his back to barely suppress the rage simmering inside him.
Just then, the doorbell rang...
A doctor in a white coat walked in, and seeing the rather strange scene before him, said, "Mr. Jian, I'm here to treat your wife's wounds."
Jian Mingpeng remained silent, and Qiao Yaxiang, sitting on the sofa, didn't dare to approach him to speak.
For a moment, the private doctor felt awkward but dared not ask any more questions.
After all, wealthy and powerful families have always been rife with feuds and disputes, so listening to and observing less is the best way to protect oneself.
Jian Yixue looked at the two who had grown distant, a cold smile playing on her lips, and said, "Zou Chen, let's go."
He then turned and left.
Zou Chen nodded slightly and followed.
Jian Mingpeng looked at the closed door, didn't even glance at Qiao Yaxiang, and turned to go upstairs.
Seeing this, Qiao Yaxiang called her private doctor over to treat her wound.
Thinking of her daughter and husband upstairs, Qiao Yaxiang had a terrible headache.
His hatred for Jian Yixue grew stronger.
This person cannot be allowed to live.
Just like her vixen mother, she stirred up trouble and was practically her nemesis.
The thought in my mind gradually became firm...
——
On the other side
Jian Yixue, sitting in Zou Chen's car, was completely unaware of this, but even if she had known, she wouldn't have cared.
Zou Chen, who was driving, remained silent. What he had seen today had truly surprised him. He had never expected that his wife would have such eccentric family members.
The feuds and grudges of wealthy and powerful families have always been a topic of conversation. If the people of the capital knew about the lady's family, they would probably be honored to be guests at the banquet.
However, having spent many years in high society circles and working as a lawyer, he already knew the importance of keeping quiet.
He never paid attention to these gossips; to him, they were just things to listen to, and there was no need to spread rumors.
Zou Chen suddenly realized that he didn't know where Jian Yixue was going, so he cautiously asked.
"Where is Madam going next?"
Back seat
Looking out the window at Jian Yixue, and hearing Zou Chen's words, she thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Ye family."
For some reason, she suddenly missed Ye Mohan terribly.
It seemed that only he could warm her cold heart.
"Yes, madam."
Zou Chen nodded; he was also planning to go to the company anyway.
As a specially appointed public relations consultant, he doesn't need to go to the office every day. He only needs to go when there's a specific matter; otherwise, he can arrange his own time.
He then drove towards the Ye Group.
Before long, they arrived at the parking lot of the Ye Group.
Zou Chen parked the car, turned to Jian Yixue and said, "Madam, we've arrived."
"Okay, let's go."
After speaking, Jian Yixue opened the car door and got out, her expression somewhat indifferent.
The two then walked together toward the elevator.
