Chapter 1374 Butting Heads
After hearing that, Ye Zhifanâs pupils turned cold as he jolted his head up, and stared at Ye Jian, stared at her very focused. Looking at her carefully, after a long while, Ye Zhifan said calmly: âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âMister Ye is truly a smart person.â Ye Jian raised her browns, her clear pupils contained a frosty essence, as she looked at him with a smirk, âA smart person wouldnât not understand what Iâm talking about, a jade pendant that was already priceless more than a decade ago, even if Mister Ye wanted to conceal it, I would definitely understand.â
She even knew about how he secretly brought it for appraisal more than a decade ago and even the estimated price for it!
Clenching his jaw a little, Ye Zhifanâs expressionlessly stared at Ye Jian, who knew everything but deliberately not talked about it, âYou do not have anything that would make me steal it, neither do I need to steal something from you.â
The Old Uncle had already passed away; who else knew about the jade pendant? If he doesnât confess, what can she do about it?
Ye Zhifan, who had made up his mind to not confess no matter what caused Ye Jian to let out a laugh. She more or less guessed what he was thinking right now and was able to see what he was thinking from the microexpressions on his face. âDo you think I wouldnât recognize a memento from my mother? Since that year I brought it up once, you immediately went to get a counterfeit one and made Ye Ying wear it. Wasnât that out of fear that when I brought it up, you can just give me the fake one?â
âIâve already said that Mister Ye is a smart person; itâs a pity Mister Ye believes only he is the smart person and that everyone else was stupid. The jade pendant isnât something that you can steal if you have the intention to. Instead, itâsâ¦â
She suddenly stopped mid-sentence; Ye Zhifan, who was deeply invested, stared at the girl who was becoming more and more unfamiliar through cold eyes; she wanted him to ask her the question!
âItâs what?â
To know what she was thinking, he could only ask her about it!
Not only were his eyes cold, even his low rumbling voice was no different, like a rock thatâs covered in a layer of thick ice, he asked her in a cold and hard tone.
He didnât get angry and leave even after being forced into such a predicament. If there wasnât Ye Ying dragging him down, Ye Zhifan, who was a flexible person, might have a much smoother career.
Ye Jian was now feeling impressed.
Xia Jinyuan had been watching from the side; his eyes carried a pampering look as he laughed while touching his forehead; the little foxâs heart is really unusually big; she was even impressed by her nemesis.
âItâs whether or not I want to take it back, remember my words properly, Mister Ye.â Ye Jian finished with a shallow smile, then admired Ye Zhifanâs instantly changing expression with fascination; this is really stress-relieving!
He came over in the middle of the night to serve as a hindrance to other people, so sheâll have to give him a taste of his own medicine!
Ye Zhifanâs gaze went completely glum; he stared at the girl who was still able to smile relaxedly; after a while, he coldly said: âYe Jian, you still do not have the ability to threaten me.â With that said, he pulled his feet and walked away.
Ye Jian didnât forget about the jade pendant, thatâs because she didnât want it!
She clearly knew it was priceless but still didnât want it; why?
Even Chen Dongfeng knew about Ye Jianâs legacy, and that sheâs not his big brotherâs biological daughter?
Bringing up the jade pendant, Ye Jian had really given him a taste of his own medicine, and it wasnât just the average hindrance because it had made Ye Zhifan mentally unstable.
After working his head off for a few days to end up with nothing, when he left, his footsteps were leaden. Not only did he not settle his own matters instead, but he had also brought upon a new set of headache-inducing problems.
Heâll have to figure it out; heâll have to go back and properly investigate, else it wonât do!â
âMister Ye, there are some people that are untouchable by the likes of you, for example, Ye Jian. It doesnât matter how high you climb up the ranks; you still wonât be able to touch her.â A cold-blooded voice flowed into his ears; there was an unconcerned, slothful tone within it, âIf you touched someone youâre not supposed to, Iâm afraid it doesnât matter how powerful Mister Yeâs backing is, as they canât protect you.â
