However, all of this could only be explored after he returned from the capital.

“President Ruan, I suspect that the masked beauty who appeared at Turquoise Mall back then was the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Otherwise, why would there be no moves made after that?”

No moves made. How could that be? Based on Xie Nian’s personality, she definitely did something after that.

“Chen Hao, go and find out where the eldest daughter of the Xie family had been and who she had been hanging out with recently.”

Ruan Mu looked at the screen in front of him that contained information about Madam Jiang. Although he didn’t get any clues from it, he didn’t move his gaze away, as if the contents were worth attracting his attention.

At that moment, Ruan Mu could tell that the contents seemed to be related. It was as if they were from the same person.

Could these people be related somehow?

A pair of slender hands danced on the keyboard like a ballet dancer. The screen was dense with characters and a pair of sharp eyes stared straight at the screen.

Suddenly, Ruan Mu realized that his IP was being tracked. The other party didn’t seem to have any bad intentions, only giving him a warning to stay away.

Ruan Mu looked at the screen for a moment and smiled. It seemed that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was not as unbearable as everyone claimed. He had never seen such a method in Jiang Capital.

“Mom, Master just said that someone discovered our people on the Internet and he found out where he is.”

Xie Nian looked at Xie Chenchen in puzzlement. Didn’t they usually resolve such problems themselves?

“It’s like this, Mom. Master took action when that person wasn’t paying attention. Then, he realized that that person’s IP address was the same as ours, both in Jiang Capital.”

“Did Xie Zhanan discover it? No, he doesn’t have such a brain. Besides, there’s no news from the other side. Who else can see through their plan with a glance?”

Xie Nian could not figure it out no matter how she thought about it. Could it be the Shen family?

“Missy, the head of the Xie family is here. He’s outside. Do you want to let them in?”

“Xie Zhanan? What is he doing here?”

Xie Nian gave her two children a look, indicating for them to go back into the house and stay there no matter what happened.

She tidied up her attire and made sure that there was nothing inappropriate in the surroundings. Then, she waved her hand, signaling Aunt Wang to bring them in.

From the looks of it, this family of three seemed to be here to collect a debt.

“Xie Nian, I didn’t expect you shameless woman to be so cruel. Nian Cheng Corporation is your mother’s blood, sweat, and tears. Yet, you want to transfer the shares to someone else. Aren’t you letting Wanning down?”

Xie Nian sneered. Xie Zhanan was talking about her mother. He was not worthy of it.

“The shares are in our hands. Isn’t it up to the two of us to decide how we use it? This was decided years ago. Is the head of the Xie family going back on his words?”

“Elder Sister, why do you say that? Father is just worried about you. If you’re cheated by others, won’t it still be—”

“Cheated? That I wasn’t. This matter was my own decision. Where did the cheating come from? My mother is no longer around. Do I have to constantly be reminded of my mother while looking at these shares? I might as well transfer them all out.”

The family of three didn’t expect Xie Nian to give such a reason. If she didn’t want it, she could give it to them.

“You shameless girl! Don’t you know that I’m still alive? If you don’t want these, you can give them to me.”

Xie Nian seemed surprised, and there was a strange expression on her face. She slowly said, “I’m no longer Father’s daughter. I know that. The words from back then are still fresh in my mind.”

Wasn’t it just acting? It all depended on who could act the best.

Of course, Xia Chu could tell that Xie Nian did it on purpose. This move was probably planned by Xie Nian. She didn’t believe that all the things that happened the moment Xie Nian came back were unintentional.

“Niannian, your father only said those words in a fit of anger back then. Those words hold no meaning after his anger dissipated. There’s no overnight enmity between father and daughter. Isn’t that so, Niannian?”

“Aunt Xia is right. I’m the one being petty. Please leave. This is the Xie family’s business.. What has it got to do with the two of you?”
