Seeing Zhao Lijie frantically trying to distance himself from the situation, the anxiety in his eyes impossible to hide, Ye Nian'an's lips curled into a cold smile.
The Zhao family's brotherhood is truly a sham.
The Zhao siblings must be furious, after all, Zhao Zhaodi's actions were practically pushing them into a fire pit.
However, this is for the best.
As long as they pose no threat to Ye Nian'an, anyone who dares to become her enemy will be met with a blind eye; she has no interest in targeting them.

"This is compensation that my siblings and I have discussed and put together to give you. Please be sure to accept it."
"I hope you can forgive my younger brother for offending your family."
