Chapter 167 Is he the person he's thinking of?



Even so, she will not give up.

It seems she still needs to make good use of Zhao Heng as a pawn.

Sitting next to Jian Mingpeng, Qiao Yaxiang looked at the stalemate. She knew that Jian Mingpeng had been in a bad mood these days and was afraid of upsetting him, so she smiled and said.

"Yi Xue, have you eaten yet? If not, I'll have the kitchen heat it up for you. And who's this person behind you...?"

"My lawyer."

Jane Yixue said coldly, without a trace of emotion.

She made no attempt to conceal the purpose of her visit, showing no fear that Qiao Yaxiang would find out.

It's best to know.

She was more than happy to see the Jian family in turmoil; it would be even better if they could fight each other.

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, Qiao Yaxiang was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Suddenly, something popped into her head, and just as she was about to ask, Jian Mingpeng suddenly stood up, his sinister gaze fixed on Jian Yixue, seemingly displeased. "Come with me to the study."

After saying that, he ignored everyone's reactions and walked straight towards the stairs.

Confused, Qiao Yaxiang and her daughter watched Jian Mingpeng walk away, their puzzled gazes turning to Jian Yixue.

Without even glancing at Jian Jiaojiao and her daughter, Jian Yixue followed Jian Mingpeng upstairs.

Jian Jiaojiao looked at Jian Yixue, who ignored her, and gritted her teeth in hatred as she watched Jian Yixue's back. Her eyes were filled with venom.

Qiao Yaxiang, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something, but she couldn't be sure, so she could only sit in the living room and wait.

Seeing her daughter's indignant expression, she tugged at her sleeve and gestured for her to control her emotions.

Jian Jiaojiao received a look from Qiao Yaxiang, glanced around the living room, and indeed saw several maids watching her. She then lowered her head to hide her emotions.

In the study

Jian Mingpeng sat in his office chair, his eyes filled with a sinister look as he stared at Jian Yixue, who sat across from him with an air of nonchalance.

Seeing the man standing behind Jian Yixue, who seemed to be thinking something, her brows furrowed and her face full of displeasure, she said, "Does it really have to be so ruthless!"

Jian Yixue sneered, "Decisive? Was it wrong for me to take back my mother's things? Or have you become so used to usurping my place all these years?"

After saying that, Jian Mingpeng was burning with anger. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily.

"You bastard! Everything the Jian family owns now was built up by me, Jian Mingpeng. What does it have to do with your mother!"

Over the years, he hated it most when people mentioned Dongfang Tinglan, but Jian Yixue mentioned her again and again!

He regretted it... he regretted wishing he hadn't strangled her back then, that he had kept her around to harm him again and again.

If it weren't for her, why would Ye Mohan suddenly think of targeting the Jian family? Why would he be so humble and subservient to her, even offering half of his shares?

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's expression was full of displeasure. "Oh? It has nothing to do with my mother? Where did the initial capital of the Jian Group come from? Who bought the house you live in now? And who gave you the opportunity to go from a company employee to your current position?"

After hearing Jian Yixue's words, Jian Mingpeng couldn't find a reason to refute them for a moment.

His brows furrowed deeply, his face was ashen, his hands on the table clenched into fists, and he looked at Jian Yixue with displeasure.

“Jian Yixue, I am your father! Is this how you talk to me?”

Jian Yixue snorted coldly, her deep eyes fixed on Jian Mingpeng, and said leisurely, "Are you worthy? If the Ye family hadn't specifically requested me, you probably wouldn't have let me appear in the capital again until you die."

Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue had a guess in her mind.

The reason Jian Mingpeng abandoned her in the countryside when she was young is very likely because he knew she was not his biological child.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense. As a father, even if he had a new lover outside, he wouldn't be so heartless towards his own flesh and blood.

Jian Mingpeng was furious, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Jian Yixue's words truly struck a chord with him.

So over the years, his wife and daughter disliked Jian Yixue's return, and he was happy with that. Since sending her away, he rarely inquired about her, and eventually even gave up on maintaining the facade.

If the Ye family hadn't insisted on finding Jian Yixue to marry Ye Mohan, and if he hadn't been afraid of offending the Ye family, how could Jian Yixue have returned to the capital?

If he had known it would end up like this, he would have preferred to have offended them back then.

"Now that we've caught up, let's talk about the share transfer."

After Jian Yixue finished speaking, Zou Chen stood next to her, nodded to her, and then looked at Jian Mingpeng with a serious expression.

"Ms. Jian, hello. I am Zou Chen, and also Ms. Jian Yixue's lawyer. I will be handling all matters related to this share transfer with you."

After hearing this, Jian Mingpeng looked at Zou Chen with some shock.

Is she the person he's thinking of?

"Zou Chen, the Ye family's specially appointed public relations consultant?"

Jian Mingpeng tentatively asked.

Zou Chen is a renowned top lawyer in Country Z, with countless businesses and wealthy individuals lining up to have him handle their cases.

As far as he knew, Zou Chen was now a specially appointed elite lawyer for the Ye Group. Since he took over five years ago, the Ye Group had not lost a single case.

As for why Jian Mingpeng knew this, although the Jian Group could only be considered a second or third-rate enterprise in the capital, Jian Mingpeng was good at handling interpersonal relationships and naturally had connections with prominent figures in the capital and elites from all walks of life.

Upon hearing this, Zou Chen straightened up and nodded slightly. "Yes, President Jian. However, this time my identity is that of Madam Ye's specially appointed lawyer."

Zou Chen was unaware of Jian Yixue's family background before. He had heard many rumors, but he hadn't believed them. How could a father treat his daughter like this? It wasn't until he received this assignment yesterday that he began to investigate Jian Yixue.

What he had seen and heard since entering the Jian family made him feel that the investigation results might not be accurate enough.

So, when Jian Mingpeng questioned him, he deliberately told Jian Mingpeng that Madam was no longer his daughter whom he could manipulate at will. Now, Madam was someone that Director Ye held dear.

If you want to bully the lady, you'd better be prepared to face the wrath of the Night Chief.

The person who angered the Nightclub is no longer in this world.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng of Jingjiu Shopping Mall could hardly fail to understand the warning in Zou Chen's words.

Jian Mingpeng looked at Jian Yixue again, somewhat shocked. He hadn't expected that in just two months, Jian Yixue could make Ye Mohan care about her so much.

That's truly remarkable!

Jian Mingpeng thought back to how Jian Yixue had refused his help when he asked her for it, and his dissatisfaction with her grew even stronger. However, he dared not show it at all because Zou Chen was there.

After all, Zou Chen is Ye Mohan's man, so he has to be careful.
