Jian Yixue coldly watched the scene before her, raising an eyebrow at Jian Jiaojiao.
It seems to be saying, "See, this is the trick you're so proud of; it's really nothing special."
Seeing her expression, Jian Jiaojiao was furious, but she still maintained the victim's posture.
Then Jian Yixue turned and left. She had things to do and didn't have time to deal with them for the time being.
Suddenly, she remembered what Jian Mingpeng had mentioned about her mother's belongings, and she felt that a nighttime visit to the Jian family should be put on the agenda.
So that if things fall apart in the future, she might be coerced, and if she didn't comply, she was afraid she would never be able to find her mother's things again.
After Jian Yixue left, everyone dispersed.
Only Jian Jiaojiao and the other person remained in the same spot.
After everyone left, Jian Jiaojiao could no longer maintain her expression and stared fiercely in the direction Jian Yixue had left.
It's all her fault, she ruined everything for her. Why did she have to come back? It would have been better if she had died in the countryside.
Yang Huan came to her senses and looked at Jian Jiaojiao, who was staring in the direction Jian Yixue had left. She sensed that something was different about her. Could it be that, as Jian Yixue had said, she really saw her as a pawn to be used?
Jian Jiaojiao turned her head and saw Yang Huan staring at her.
Her face, initially filled with hatred, quickly transformed into one of feigned sincerity: "I'm sorry, Huanhuan, I've dragged you into this."
Although she disliked Yang Huan, she had no better choice at the moment and could only appease her for her own use.
Upon seeing this, Yang Huan felt that she had gone too far. How could she doubt her best friend of many years based on just a few words from Jian Yixue? It was really wrong of her.
"It's alright. I should be the one apologizing to you for this. I shouldn't have stood up against her at this time. My mother warned me, but I just couldn't hold back my anger, and in the end, I dragged you into this. I'm sorry, Jiaojiao."
Jian Jiaojiao disliked her intensely; she was more trouble than she was worth and always dragged her down. But on the surface, she feigned understanding: "No, Huanhuan, I'm the one who should apologize."
My sister has done this more than once because of her mother's situation. I know it's my and my mother's fault.
I truly treat her like an older sister, but she still doesn't seem to like me.
"What? You've been so good to her, how come she still can't tell right from wrong? What does the past have to do with you?"
Yang Huan felt sorry for Jian Jiaojiao.
"It's okay, I believe my sister will understand someday."
Jian Jiaojiao spoke with feigned nonchalance, but in her heart she was thinking that she hated Jian Yixue to death.
"Come on, let's not let her interfere with our important business. Let's go pick out a gift for Grandpa Huangfu."
Yang Huan nodded, realizing he had almost missed his business; he'd be in for a world of hurt when he got back.
The two then went to a shop together to pick out a gift.
Meanwhile, Jian Yixue had just gotten into the car when she received a call from Ye Mohan.
"You've been bullied? Do you want your husband to help you?"
Jian Yixue lowered her head and thought for a moment, wondering when she had been bullied.
Just now? Wasn't she the one taking down the scumbags?
Um, he's not in the country, how would he know?
How did you know?
"If I want to know, I will find out. There is nothing in the entire capital that can be hidden from me."
Are you sure you're not having someone spy on me?
"Honey, that's not surveillance, it's protection!"
Jian Yixue sighed, wondering if anyone could justify surveillance so confidently. However, she liked it, which meant that Ye Mohan treated her as one of his own.
On the other side, seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Ye Mohan thought she was angry and explained, "Xue'er, the reason for having someone follow you is really to protect you, not to monitor you."
Over the years, I don't know how many people I've offended, how many people's interests I've infringed upon, and how many people have wanted me dead. Now that I'm not in the country and can't protect you, having someone with you means I can know your whereabouts at any time, and that gives me some peace of mind.
Just as Jian Yixue was about to speak, she heard Ye Mohan's long explanation and her eyes welled up with tears.
"I know, I don't blame you, I miss you very much."
In her past life, Ye Mohan had someone follow her, and she believed that Ye Mohan wanted to monitor her and trap her.
She threatened to kill herself to force Ye Mohan to remove the people, and Ye Mohan reluctantly agreed, which ultimately led to her death.
In this life, she will never be so foolish again.
In the distant United States, Ye Mohan, sitting on the sofa, smiled slightly upon hearing Jian Yixue's reply.
"I miss you as well."
After much deliberation, he couldn't control himself and spoke the voice of the person in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's smile, as warm as a spring breeze, grew even brighter.
"How's things going on your end? How long do you expect to be back?"
Ye Mohan pondered for a moment, "It will take some time. I will come back as soon as I have resolved this."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. I'll head back to the old house right away, so don't worry."
Jian Yixue looked at the time; it should be morning over there, and he must have something to do.
"Yes, if anything goes wrong, don't try to handle it all by yourself. Remember that I'm here for you."
Listening to Ye Mohan's words on the other end of the phone, it would be a lie to say that Jian Yixue wasn't moved.
From her past life to the present, she has always been used to bearing things alone. With no one to care for or love her, she dares not show her vulnerability to the public.
Today, someone told her that she still had him, and a warm feeling welled up inside her.
"Um."
After a long time, when Ye Mohan still hadn't hung up, she asked, "Why didn't you hang up?"
"I'll wait for you to hang up first."
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
Jane pressed the red button on the page, her face beaming with a happy smile.
The Ye family's old house.
The car stopped in front of the old house, and Jian Yixue carried the medicinal herbs back to her room.
Upon arriving at the room, Jian Yixue immediately entered the jade pendant space. As soon as the baby saw Jian Yixue, he jumped into her arms.
She said coquettishly, "Master, I miss you so much."
Jian Yixue caught the adorable baby who jumped over, and a genuine smile appeared on her face.
"You're not a child anymore, yet you still love to act like a child."
According to the records inside the jade pendant space, it has existed for at least several thousand years. Mengbao is the spirit that evolved from this space, and it is indeed much older than Jian Yixue.
"I don't care. My memories of this life have only just awakened. I'm just a little baby. Master, you can't count my previous age. You have to start counting from when I met you."
The adorable child shook his head, acting like a brat with a straight face.
Jian Yixue's smile grew even brighter as she stroked its back, her words tinged with unintentional doting: "Okay, baby, you decide. Whatever your age is, that's what you're supposed to be."
The little one nodded happily, "Master, what brings you in?"
"How can I take the medicinal herbs from the second floor of the hall out?"
Jane asked the baby curiously.
"Master, you can take whatever you want from here as long as you pass the test."
