"Look at you, then look at your sister. Compared to her, you're so petty. You should learn from your sister! Look at her boyfriend!" Mother Jiang's voice dripped with disdain.
Jiang Yan was almost in tears from anger. Her mother was too much. Ten thousand yuan was nothing compared to what Jin Lan had done for their family, yet she was acting like this.
"I'm not returning it. This is the household allowance my daughter gives me. She said she'll give me a hundred thousand yuan every month from now on. Keep your three thousand for yourself. Aren't you moving out? Go ahead and move," Mother Jiang said and then callously hung up the phone.
Jiang Yan felt dizzy with anger. She thought her mother was utterly unreasonable. Where in the world was there free lunch? But she couldn't explain her relationship with Chu Yi to her family!
Jiang Yan decided to move out starting today, out of sight, out of mind. Besides, even if Chu Yu had other intentions, his target was her, not her family.
...
Before Ye Wan could return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, her way was blocked by a car. The occupants stopped her taxi and forcefully pulled open the door, demanding she get out.
The driver was terrified and begged Ye Wan to get out so as not to implicate him. Ye Wan then voluntarily exited the vehicle.
The driver quickly sped away. Ye Wan looked at the people in front of her with a cool expression and asked, "Who sent you?"
"My madam wishes to see you," the bodyguard said coldly.
"Who is your madam? Give me a name first, or how would I know which stray cat or dog I'm supposed to meet?" Ye Wan was sharp-tongued now. She detested these arrogant people. Who did they think they were? Just because they were rich and powerful, they could dictate others' lives so casually?
Ridiculous!
"Bold!" The bodyguard immediately reached out to hit Ye Wan.
Ye Wan didn't even blink, looking at the man in front of her with disdain. Before the man's hand could touch her, a gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared on his hand.
The bodyguards surrounding Ye Wan were startled and immediately reached for their weapons, but it was too late. Three times their number of bodyguards surrounded them, guns pointed at their heads.
"Speak, who sent you!" Gu Ye stared at the man in front of him with a blank expression.
"My madam is the madam of the Yan family! She wishes to invite Miss Ye for a chat." The bodyguard, now intimidated, quickly revealed Madam Yan's identity.
Ye Wan knew that after the previous incident, Gu Yunting had assigned her bodyguards, and not just Gu Yunting; Uncle Yan and Grandpa Yan had also sent people to protect her.
So now, even if someone wanted to cause trouble for her, she was not afraid.
"Chop off his hand and feed it to the dogs!" Gu Ye ordered, and immediately someone dragged the bodyguard away.
The bodyguard's face turned ashen, regretting his impulsive act of wanting to hit this young girl!
"I need to get back to work now. Please arrange a car to send me."
Ye Wan was unfazed by the incident. She knew that since Madam Yan couldn't wait and had sought her out, Uncle Yan and Grandpa Yan would have already received the news. She wouldn't interfere with whatever they planned to do.
Ye Wan didn't feel she had wronged Madam Yan. She had rejected the Yan father and son, yet they still insisted on being friends with her. Now that trouble had arisen, they should resolve it themselves.
After all, her conscience was clear.
Gu Ye immediately arranged a car to take Ye Wan, safely delivering her to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Meanwhile, Yan Haojue and Old Master Yan both learned that Jiang Yaning had sent people to find trouble for Ye Wan, and their expressions turned extremely grim.
