She couldn't fully trust Zhao Heng, who was just a pawn, especially since Jian Yixue had the astonishingly powerful Ye Mohan behind her, instantly making the matter even more unpredictable.
Her mother's words made Jian Jiaojiao vaguely feel that there must be something behind this matter that she did not know about, so she became more and more curious.
"Mom, Jian Yixue, she..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Yaxiang interrupted her with a serious expression and said sternly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Your mother will handle that matter for you. Right now, what you should do most is to play the role of a good daughter."
Qiao Yaxiang's words were stern, and Jian Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment after hearing them, before she realized what was happening and nodded.
Since her mother didn't want her to know about this, it must be something more complicated than it seems.
She didn't care about anything else. She was happy as long as Jian Yixue didn't have a good ending. Who told Jian Yixue to come back and take away everything that originally belonged to her?
She only needed to be sure that Jian Yixue was having a hard time; she had no interest in anything else.
After figuring things out, Jian Jiaojiao was overjoyed, as if she could already see Jian Yixue's satisfying exit from the stage.
Seeing that her daughter understood her words, Qiao Yaxiang felt much relieved. Remembering Jian Mingpeng who was in the bedroom, she turned to Jian Jiaojiao and said...
"You stay in your room, Mom will go back to the bedroom to check on your dad."
She knew that after what had happened, Jian Mingpeng would definitely be very busy. She didn't know anything else besides what she had just heard, so she wanted to go back and find out what Jian Mingpeng's plans were next.
This way, she'll know what she should do next.
Moreover, she didn't want Jian Mingpeng to know about what she had just eavesdropped on, and she was afraid that Jian Mingpeng would become suspicious if she didn't show up for a long time.
After hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao nodded sensibly.
Seeing this, Qiao Yaxiang stood in front of the mirror and tidied her appearance. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did she leave Jian Jiaojiao's bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Jian Mingpeng's face was visibly filled with anger and dissatisfaction as he picked out clothes for himself.
Normally, Qiao Yaxiang would do these things, but he didn't see her when he came in. He was annoyed, but because of the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to look for Qiao Yaxiang and could only look for his clothes on his own.
Just as he was tying his tie, he heard a noise coming from the doorway.
Turning around, I saw Qiao Yaxiang walk in with a dignified and virtuous demeanor. When her eyes fell on Jian Mingpeng, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, followed by a smile.
"Ming-ge, what brings you up here? Are you heading to the company?"
Qiao Yaxiang asked, feigning nonchalance.
They deliberately concealed what had happened before, pretending to be completely unaware of it.
Jian Mingpeng looked at Qiao Yaxiang walking towards him, his expression unchanged, and asked, "Where did you go?"
Jian Mingpeng squinted, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and distrust.
Qiao Yaxiang wasn't surprised when she heard this. She smiled and walked over to Jian Mingpeng, taking over his work and skillfully tying his tie.
Then she said casually, "I went to Jiaojiao's room. You know that Jiaojiao and I have become quite distant recently. So I've been going to talk to her whenever I have free time. I just went over since there was nothing else to do."
Qiao Yaxiang knew that bringing up this matter at this time would maximize Jian Mingpeng's dissatisfaction with Jian Yixue.
The reason she had a conflict with Jiaojiao was that Jian Mingpeng insisted on giving the shares to Jian Yixue.
She deliberately brought up that day so that Jian Mingpeng would remember what a huge mistake he had made that day.
And since she pretended not to know, Jian Mingpeng would certainly not suspect that she did it on purpose.
Even if Jian Mingpeng was dissatisfied with her, he wouldn't have any reason to say anything to her, since she wasn't the culprit that day.
As expected, Jian Mingpeng immediately recalled everything that had happened not long ago.
He realized how foolish he had been to think that as long as he gave Jian Yixue shares, she would help the Jian family overcome its difficulties and make Ye Mohan let the Jian family go.
But unexpectedly, this is the result!
Upon recalling Qiao Yaxiang mentioning this matter, Jian Mingpeng glanced at her with displeasure. Seeing that she didn't seem to be acting out of character, he concluded that he might be overthinking things.
Thinking that Qiao Yaxiang might have mentioned this unintentionally, he felt somewhat dissatisfied but couldn't find a suitable reason to vent.
After thinking it over, he had no choice but to swallow his anger alone.
"I'm going to the company later and I might not be back for a while. Please take good care of everything at home."
Thinking about company matters, Jian Mingpeng spoke to Qiao Yaxiang, giving her some instructions.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang nodded obediently, "Has something happened at the company?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You know my habits."
Jian Mingpeng looked at Qiao Yaxiang with a serious expression and said.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang couldn't help but curse Jian Mingpeng inwardly, but on the surface she maintained a well-behaved and sensible demeanor.
"Okay, Ming-ge. I was just worried about you. Since you said so, I won't ask any more questions. No matter how busy you are, please take good care of yourself. I'll take care of everything at home, so don't worry about it."
Hearing Qiao Yaxiang's understanding words, Jian Mingpeng felt a little relieved.
Realizing his attitude was inappropriate, he nodded.
Qiao Yaxiang straightened Jian Mingpeng's clothes, and only after she was done did she put her hands down and step aside.
Seeing this, Jian Mingpeng glanced at Qiao Yaxiang and said, "Take good care of yourself."
After all, they are husband and wife, and they have developed some feelings for each other over the past ten years. Thinking about his attitude just now, Jian Mingpeng couldn't help but say something to him.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang smiled broadly and nodded happily.
Then, Jian Mingpeng left the bedroom.
What Jian Mingpeng didn't know was that when the bedroom door closed, Qiao Yaxiang's face was filled with a fierce expression, and she was no longer the virtuous wife and loving mother she used to be.
Jian Mingpeng was completely unaware of this. He turned around, went downstairs, and drove to the company with his secretary.
...
Jane's Group
When Jian Mingpeng's car stopped at the entrance of the Jian Group, his secretary quickly got out and opened the door for him.
Jian Mingpeng bent down and got out of the car. Looking at the skyscraper that had consumed more than a decade of his hard work, he felt increasingly angry.
Thinking about what Jian Yixue had done, he hated himself for leaving such a scourge behind.
But that wasn't the time to think about those things. When the time came, Jian Mingpeng composed himself, straightened his face, and strode toward the building.
He knew that a new battlefield had begun, and one wrong step could lead to an abyss.
