Chapter 23: Chapter 23: He Wants to Confiscate the Family’s Property

With Grandpa’s support, Si Yuhuan naturally didn’t dare say anything.

Jian Xi made faces at him.

"You did it on purpose!" Si Yuhuan bit out, stifling his frustration.

Jian Xi didn’t deny it.

She knew Si Yuhuan protected Jiang Qimeng like a treasure, and he was bound to go crazy when he returned today. Instead of enduring it, she had set a trap. The guy really jumped right in, not letting her down in the slightest.

"I’m telling you, treat Xixi well, or don’t blame me for being impolite." The old man must have been truly angered. He waved his hand. "Xixi, Grandpa’s shares will be represented by you in the future at Haohan Group. You’ll have veto power. I want to see if this little rascal dares to bare his teeth at you!"

It was like a pie falling from the sky.

Jian Xi was somewhat amused and bemused.

Her original intention was to have Grandpa give him a lecture, but she didn’t expect an unexpected windfall.

Si Yuhuan obviously hadn’t expected that. It took a long moment for him to regain his composure, his handsome face as gloomy as a temple guardian’s. "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"Rather than you constantly being entangled with all those women, I’m making you see clearly. When you realize who truly cares about you, you can then take back the shares. You little rascal, without someone to keep you in check, you’d truly become lawless."

After hanging up the phone, Jian Xi shrugged smugly.

"When good luck comes, you can’t even block it!"

Seeing Si Yuhuan on the brink of fury, Jian Xi quickly changed tack. "But if you behave and divorce me, giving me what’s mine, we can both live in peace."

Every time they met, she brought up divorce!

Si Yuhuan fumed when he heard it. "In your dreams!"

"Oh, then I’m sorry, but veto power it is!"

BANG!

The response Jian Xi got was the sound of a door slamming.

Just in that instant, she thought she heard Yan Qing step forward and say, "We’ve found Miss Jiang’s whereabouts."

Had Jiang Qimeng gone missing? In my memory, she had always been inseparable from Si Yuhuan; their relationship was seemingly deep. How could she possibly leave Si Yuhuan? Could she have taken a wrong turn somewhere?

Jian Xi hurriedly ate a few bites of the delicious food the chef had made and quickly went out.

Wan Yu was truly a know-it-all. With a phone call to her, the inside story would often be revealed in less than ten minutes.

"How unbelievable! The little white lotus has actually changed her tactics—instead of coyly acting weak and seeking comfort in a man’s arms, she’s run off abroad."

"Abroad?" Jian Xi was a bit surprised.

Wan Yu said mysteriously, "It’s said she was crying as she ran, seemingly having suffered some grave injustice. Oh right, before she left, she met with your older brother."

"My older brother?" Jian Xi was shocked, her voice rising even higher.

Wan Yu ruffled her own messy hair. "It’s really strange. Jian Mingcheng rarely gets involved in your messy affairs, but this time he personally took action. Indeed, an old blade still cuts. The little white lotus probably had her health bar instantly depleted and was left speechless. Perhaps she’s looking to turn over a new leaf?"

Without time to analyze it with her, Jian Xi immediately rushed home.

With things involving her older brother, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Upon returning home, her mother, who rarely showed up, was present.

Zhang Xi, though over fifty, still possessed a youthful allure, her face without a trace of aging and a figure that could pass for someone in her thirties.

Upon closer inspection, Jian Xi was practically carved from the same mold as her mother.

"Hmph! You still know to come home!"

Her mother must have also heard rumors about the fashion show.

Jian Xi’s missed calls included some from her mother.

Right now, she had no time for coquetry; her mind was consumed with what her older brother had done to force Jiang Qimeng to leave the country. Si Yuhuan treated Jiang Qimeng like the apple of his eye and might inevitably have a falling out with her older brother over this. If it caused the Jian Family and the Si Family to become enemies because of her, that would be a terrible sin. The failure of her marriage was something Jian Xi had to resolve on her own. She didn’t want to involve her family, but it seemed she was still a step too late.

"Mummy, where’s Older Brother?" Jian Xi asked, her eyes pleading, not wanting her mother to reproach her.

Zhang Xi rolled her eyes. "Even if you go to your older brother, it’s useless. Regarding this fashion show incident, you have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I’ll have to personally find that rascal Si Yuhuan."

She didn’t like Si Yuhuan, as he was unkind to her daughter. She had long suggested that the two of them divorce. She was so overjoyed by the rumors of divorce that she couldn’t sleep for days. However, after returning to the country, there had been no further developments, which was quite disappointing to her.

Now that she had heard about the fashion show incident, Zhang Xi, having caught Jian Xi today, definitely wouldn’t let it go.

How dare they bully her daughter! The entire Jian Family wouldn’t allow it!

At this moment, Jian Mingcheng came down from upstairs. He was dressed in a suit and adjusting his cufflinks, looking like he had a social engagement.

"Big Brother!"

Jian Xi rushed over and pulled him aside.

She didn’t forget to turn back, clasping her hands together and rubbing them coyly. "Mom, don’t worry, I have a solution for this. Wait a few days and you’ll see my performance. I won’t go into details now, as I really have something important to discuss with Big Brother."

Zhang Xi had been a lady of high society for many years and was adept at reading people. Seeing that Jian Xi was genuinely anxious, she didn’t pester her further. Instead, she went to cook some delicious food, wanting to help her daughter recuperate.

Being with Si Yuhuan was just too hard; her heart ached for her daughter.

「In the study.」

Jian Mingcheng’s tall frame stood before the desk. He rubbed Jian Xi’s head. "What do you want to ask? I know."

"Was it really Big Brother who did it?" Jian Xi felt a chill run down her spine.

Given Si Yuhuan’s nature, he would surely want to kill someone.

Jian Mingcheng was fearless. "Dad said to let her go."

Dad ordered this too?!

Jian Xi’s heart warmed, feeling completely enveloped by her family’s warmth, and her eyes welled up, a slight sourness stinging them.

"Don’t worry. We will absolutely not allow anyone to interfere in your marriage to Si Yuhuan, unless you no longer want him."

His assertive confidence resounded—the sense of security that came from her brother.

Jian Xi couldn’t help but step forward and hug Jian Mingcheng tightly. "Big Brother, I’ve told you, I’ll handle this myself. There’s really no need for you all to provoke him because of me."

"What are you saying? Are your brothers somehow inferior to that Si Yuhuan?"

PFFT!

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Her brothers were indeed outstanding. However, Si Yuhuan’s chip development was progressing at the speed of light. In her memory, in just half a year, his net worth had multiplied a hundredfold, and he had become the renowned head of a major international financial conglomerate. The assets of Haohan Group were incalculable; not even her accomplished brothers could compete. Plus, with ongoing research and development, his future was boundless. However, everything should have changed from the moment I monopolized the Silicon Crystal from the Wu Family. That’s right! What was I afraid of? No matter how powerful Si Yuhuan was, I wasn’t scared of him! I’d been annoyed with Jiang Qimeng for a long time now. So what if I let her get lost!

At this moment, their mom shouted from downstairs.

"Mingcheng, Xixi, Si Yuhuan is here!"

Zhang Xi disliked Si Yuhuan and always called him by his full name.

The last time he came to their home to discuss business, she hadn’t even bothered to show her face.

Others grow fonder of their sons-in-law over time, but she disliked him more and more. She couldn’t be bothered to put on a pleasant face for someone who treated her precious daughter like dirt.

Hearing that Si Yuhuan had arrived, Jian Xi still couldn’t help but feel a jolt.

What was bound to come would eventually arrive.

Jian Mingcheng patted her shoulder. "Your brother’s here for you."

The two of them walked downstairs, one after the other. Si Yuhuan stood there with six or seven bodyguards behind him, his presence imposing, as if he were about to raid the place.
