âCould it be that Qiao Nian is closer to Young Master Ye than Xianrou?â
Faced with his question, Tang Wanru felt as if her throat was stuck. Her face alternated between green and white. She didnât know where to start and could not squeeze out a word for a long time.
Jiang Yaoâs phone vibrated just as he was about to continue asking. He saw that it was a message from Xu Jishen and temporarily gave up.
He opened WeChat.
Heâd only read the first line when his blood pressure spiked.
[Xu Jishen: Jiang Yao, what did your sister do? Young Master Ye said in the circle that in the future, thereâs no place for your sister anymore.]
Jiang Yao suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Xu Jishen called him at this moment.
His mind blank, he answered the phone, his throat dry. âHello.â
âDid you see my message?â Xu Jishen asked him directly.
Of course, Jiang Yao saw his WeChat message.
It was because he saw it that half of his blood went cold. He quickly asked him, âYou know whatâs going on?â
âIâve asked around for you.â Xu Jishen was quite loyal and told him what he knew. âYour cousinâs USB drive was stolen and destroyed. All the information used for the competition was destroyed. The school found out that the girl who stole the USB drive was Young Master Zhuâs current girlfriend. As for this Young Master Zhu⦠heâs very close to your sister. I heard that Young Master Ye has already taken him away. The Zhu family is now as anxious as headless flies, looking for connections everywhere. Iâm afraid your sister is involved in this matter. Young Master Ye is spreading the word.â
Jiang Yaoâs mind was in a mess.
Xu Jishen said indifferently, âJiang Yao, Iâm afraid itâll be difficult for your sister to survive in the Beijing circle in the future. I think only Qiao Nian can resolve this matter. I think Young Master Ye is standing up for Qiao Nian. The Zhu family is finished this time. Theyâll be skinned alive even if they donât die.
âOn your sisterâs side, it still depends on Qiao Nian. I reckon that Young Master Ye didnât look for your family directly. One reason is because of Jiang Li, and the other is because of Qiao Nian. After all, your family is related to her. This matter can be big or small. I wonder what Young Master Ye is thinking.â
Jiang Yaoâs heart was already in a mess. He thanked Xu Jishen and hung up.
Then, he looked at his mother. He simply didnât know how to begin.
Jiang Yao didnât know how to tell Tang Wanru about Jiang Xianrou, so he simply didnât say anything. He picked up his car keys and hurriedly said, âMom, Iâm going out for a while.â
âWhere are you going?â Tang Wanru still didnât know that the situation outside had become chaotic because of Zhu Yuanhao.
She felt a little uneasy and quickly followed him to ask when she saw that Jiang Yaoâs expression had changed after receiving a call.
Jiang Yao couldnât tell her, nor was he in the mood to explain. He put on his denim jacket and walked hurriedly. âIâm just going out for a while. Iâll tell you when I come back.â

At Rhine Apartments.
In the room on the second floor, the girl was wearing home clothes. The collar was slightly open, revealing her fair skin. Her collarbone was exquisite and eye-catching.
She crossed her legs and gripped a Coke can. Sheâd just pulled the tab.
There was a click and the bubbles came up.
On the other end of the video call, Jian Jin looked at her sitting like a big shot and said speechlessly, âBy the way, the Jiang Corporation is still docking with us and wants our batch of diamonds. I think theyâre quite sincere⦠Should we respond?â
Qiao Nian took a sip of Coke and casually raised her eyelids, then said calmly, âNo.â
