Chapter 609: Chapter 618 Condition (6)

Even after so many years had passed, the mere thought of the past’s brutality still left her feeling disturbed and restless.

Yu Zexiao seemed to sense the unease and distress in her heart, hugging her even tighter as if to offer comfort.

Jian Anning paused for a moment before speaking, "My father and grandparents passed away because of that incident. I was also taken back to my mother’s home. At that time, my mother had already started a new family, which was rather complicated. And—"

"And what?" Yu Zexiao glanced at her and asked.

"And—" Jian Anning struggled, looking at him and pursing her lips, unsure of how to continue.

"As long as it’s not because you have a love interest over there," he said.

As for the rest, Yu Zexiao didn’t want to concern himself with it.

"How could that be!" Jian Anning said with a mix of laughter and tears. She thought about it, although her stepfather, Cheng Juye, had arranged the marriage for her, she had never actually gotten engaged, nor did she have any feelings for the man from the Situ Family. The reason she had always wanted to escape the marriage was not only because she feared the power of the Situ Family but also—she was unwilling to break ties with her stepfather Cheng Juye!

What Yu Zexiao didn’t know was that her stepfather Cheng Juye was quite influential in Canada, especially in Toronto! Of course, if it were merely about influence, she would not have been so passive.

The crux of the matter was that Cheng Juye had intricate connections with her father’s company in Vancouver. To put it bluntly, if Jian Anning was the largest shareholder of her father’s company, then Cheng Juye was the second largest, and over the years, the suppliers to her father’s company were all provided by the Cheng Family. If she angered Cheng Juye and he withdrew his investment and failed to supply goods on time, her father’s life’s work would come to naught!

Not only that, but when she was taken from her father to her mother because she was underage and unable to manage her own inheritance, the initial trust fund and credit cards were all in her mother’s name; she merely had a supplementary card. Every quarter, the lawyer was responsible for transferring a fixed amount of money from the bank. Ideally, she should have been able to manage this money after turning twenty-four, but due to concerns about her stepfather harming her father’s company, she never went through the procedure.

Her primary goal over the years was to carry on the company her father had put so much effort into establishing, so she had been planning to learn management experience, leave her stepfather’s family in the next year or two, and take full control of her father’s company, no longer relying on her stepfather’s channels. Little did she know that just at this time, such a thing had happened!

"Then—" Yu Zexiao suddenly remembered, it was not the first time Jian Anning had been with him. Could it be that her evasiveness—was for that man?

The man who had been her first, holding a special place in her heart.

At this thought, Yu Zexiao felt instantly unwell. His eyes darkened immediately, "Are you still in contact with your ex-boyfriend?"

"My ex-boyfriend? No, not at all!" She and Lu Jiayuan had never even confessed to each other, it could hardly be considered a relationship. Apart from that, she had practically never had a boyfriend. Naturally, there was no such thing as an ex-boyfriend.

Yu Zexiao snorted, no?
