After finishing her meal, Jian Yixue said goodbye to Ye Mohan and went to the garage. It was the same black Maserati as last time. Jian Yixue skillfully started the car and drove out of the garage.
In the study, Ye Mohan watched a low-key black Maserati drive out of the garage and slowly disappear from sight. Only after the car was out of sight did he return to his desk to prepare for work.
——
Jianjia Villa
"Call her again and ask where she is!" Jian Mingpeng said to Jian Jiaojiao with extreme displeasure.
As soon as Jian Yixue entered the door, she heard these words and couldn't help but laugh. This was the kind of family affection she had desperately tried to protect in her past life. How ridiculous!
"No need to call. Just say what you need to say. I'm in a hurry!" Jian Yixue's cold voice came from the doorway.
The three people in the living room all turned to look at the doorway, their expressions varying.
Jian Jiaojiao looked at Jian Yixue at the door. She was wearing a light blue long dress that showed off her beautiful figure. She had become even more beautiful and charming in the few days she hadn't seen her, which made Jian Jiaojiao extremely jealous. Her eyes were filled with envy as she looked at Jian Yixue.
When Qiao Yaxiang saw Jian Yixue approaching, her eyes lingered. After not seeing her for a few days, Jian Yixue's demeanor and aura were exactly the same as her detestable mother, making Qiao Yaxiang even more displeased. However, she smiled and said, "Yixue, you're back. Your father specially stayed home to wait for you to come back for dinner instead of going to the company today. Where's Mo Han? Didn't he come back with you?"
Jian Yixue sneered inwardly. Waiting for her to come back was a pretense; what he really wanted was for Ye Mohan to come and seize business opportunities. In Jian Mingpeng's eyes, her daughter was nothing more than a tool.
“He’s too busy to come over. If there’s anything you need, you can just tell me directly,” Jian Yixue said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng's face grew even more unpleasant. His daughter had only been married for a few days and was already turning against her family. If it weren't for the Ye family specifying that she should marry into their family, he would have let Jian Jiaojiao marry into their family long ago. After all, someone raised by one's own side is far more reliable than this girl from the countryside.
Jian Mingpeng said in a deep voice with displeasure in his eyes, "Jian Yixue, don't you know what day it is today? Call him over right now!"
Jian Mingpeng thought to himself, how could he acquire that piece of land in the east of the city if Ye Mohan didn't come? If he got that land, the Jian family could successfully enter the upper class of the capital.
When Jian Jiaojiao heard the name Ye Mohan, her eyes filled with anticipation. Ye Mohan was the high-ranking young master in the capital, who controlled more than half of the country's economy and was the man that every woman in the capital admired.
She had thought there was no hope for him, but when she heard that the Ye family wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Jian family, she was overjoyed, thinking that her patience had finally paid off.
As a result, the Ye family insisted on a marriage alliance with Jian Yixue. She was furious and insanely jealous, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as Jian Yixue married him.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the father and daughter in front of her, Jian Yixue knew without a doubt that they were plotting against her man.
Jian Mingpeng cares about Ye Mohan because he can help the Jian family; to put it bluntly, he can bring benefits to the Jian family.
What about Jian Jiaojiao? Wasn't she with Zhao Heng in her past life? But the look in her eyes now seems to indicate that she's deeply in love with Ye Mohan. A hint of doubt appeared in Jian Yixue's eyes.
Jian Yixue walked to the sofa next to her, sat down by herself, crossed her legs, and said in a cold voice, completely unconcerned about the expression on the face of the person in front of her, "I told you he's busy. I don't have the ability to call him over. Why don't you call him yourself, Father, and see if he'll come over?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng instantly flew into a rage and shouted, "You unfilial daughter, I should have strangled you when you were born!"
Jian Yixue glanced at Jian Mingpeng coldly, unmoved: "Too late! Even if you didn't strangle me at birth, when I was five years old, when my mother's body was still warm, you brought your mistress into our home, and when you abandoned me, a five-year-old child, in the countryside for them, did you even remember that you were my father? My father had already died back then!"
Upon hearing Jian Yixue slander Qiao Yaxiang, Jian Jiaojiao immediately retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does your mother's death have to do with my mother? It was clearly your mother who usurped the place; my mother was simply taking back what was rightfully hers..."
Qiao Yaxiang sensed something was wrong and immediately scolded, "Enough, Jiaojiao."
Turning to look at Jian Mingpeng, her eyes suddenly reddened: "Ming-ge, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come back with you back then. My real intention was to take care of my sister's daughter, sob sob sob... Yi Xue, if you want to hate someone, hate me. Don't treat your father like this. He didn't mean it. It's because I'm pregnant..."
"Ya Xiang, this has nothing to do with you."
Before she could finish speaking, Jian Mingpeng interrupted Qiao Yaxiang, preventing her from continuing. He didn't want others to know that he had been out having fun while his wife was seriously ill, as it would damage his reputation.
“Even so, no matter how much you deny it, it doesn’t change the fact that you, Jian Yixue, are my daughter, Jian Mingpeng,” Jian Mingpeng said in a deep voice.
"Oh? I really am your daughter?" Jian Yixue was uncertain. If he were her biological father, how could he bear to abandon her in the countryside for more than ten years?
She stared at Jian Mingpeng's expression, which showed no sign of panic. Could it be that she was mistaken? Or was he just too skilled?
"Jian Yixue, haven't you done enough of this nonsense?!" Jian Mingpeng shouted fiercely.
Jian Yixue laughed in anger. It was clearly him who kept giving her attitude as soon as she returned, and even tried to profit from Ye Mohan through her. He had ignored her for the past twenty-odd years, and yet he still had the nerve to act like he was right.
Damn it! My temper is so bad, it's unbearable!
"I'm being ridiculous? Jian Mingpeng, you must be blind! From the moment you walked in the door, have you ever asked me how I'm doing after I got married, whether he treats me well, or have you ever said a single word of concern for me?"
"You gave me the cold shoulder the moment you walked in. If you knew we were father and daughter, you'd be fine, but if you didn't, you'd think we were enemies. After all, enemies are always furious when they meet. If you want to find Ye Mohan, then go find him yourself. To me, you're nothing except for contributing a tadpole. Don't tell me what to do. I don't owe you anything."
Jian Yixue said with a smile, but there was no warmth in her words.
Jian Mingpeng was furious and about to say something when Jian Yixue interrupted him: "Don't ever tell me about your kindness in raising me. In the entire capital, who doesn't know that the Jian family was founded by my mother, Dongfang Tinglan? You've just been reaping the benefits without doing anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng's face turned extremely grim. He hated it most when people mentioned Dongfang Tinglan. When she was still alive, whenever people mentioned the Jian Group, they only remembered her, Dongfang Tinglan; no one knew him, Jian Mingpeng. This made him feel incredibly embarrassed, as if he were living under someone else's roof. It was only after she died that he finally managed to establish himself in the business world, where people only thought of him, Jian Mingpeng, when they mentioned the Jian Group. Now, being reminded of that past again, and by their daughter, made him regret not having strangled her back then.
