Chapter 19: The Answer is Obvious

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xie Yiye was about to step forward when he was stopped by Xie Yizhe.

“What right do you have to help?” Xie Yizhe’s tone was calm but extremely cold.

Xie Yiye stopped in his tracks and stared at Su Qianqian. It was as if he could eat Su Qianqian up if she touched the woman in front of him.

Seeing that his younger brother had calmed down, Xie Yizhe retracted his hand and looked at the woman who was standing straight not far away.

She was still wearing that red dress, enchanting and eye-catching. She was not afraid of Su Qianqian at all, and it was unknown where she got her courage from.

Su Qianqian had never been slapped before, and in front of so many people.

She wanted to shout back, but the woman in front of her seemed to know what she was going to do and quickly turned around to leave.

“Wen Yan, stop right there!”

Su Qianqian was furious. She somehow found the strength to chase after her and grabbed the back strap of Wen Yan’s dress.

If she pulled, the dress would fall off.

Su Qianqian smiled evilly and pulled back fiercely. Suddenly, a hand pressed down on her.

Su Qianqian angrily raised her head and met Xie Yiye’s face.

He pulled her hand away in disgust, his eyes filled with danger, “Miss Su is a cultured person after all. Why would you want to do such a thing?”

“Why? Are you feeling sorry for me?” Su Qianqian shook her hand away.

Xie Yiye’s lips curved dangerously.

“A second-hand item is worthy of Third Young Master Xie’s attention?”

“Second-hand item?” Xie Yiye curled his lips into a smile and pinched her chin. “You’re talking about yourself, right? Miss Su is so charming. I don’t mind making you a third-hand good-for-nothing.”

After saying that, he cast an evil glance at her vital parts.

Su Qianqian’s face suddenly turned red.

Xie Yiye and her posture was ambiguous, and people coming and going looked over.

His actions seemed gentle, but he squeezed her hard. Soon, the smell of blood seeped out of her gums.

The man in front of her was a demon.

Su Qianqian’s eyes suddenly revealed fear.

Wen Yan didn’t go far. Seeing that Xie Yiye had come out to help her again, she simply stood to the side and watched.

Since he was willing to help her, she would accept it. It was not that she could not repay such a favor.

A voice stopped her.

“Miss Wen.”

The person was wearing a white suit, with his curly hair tied up, gold-rimmed glasses, and a refined smile.

“Thank you, Mister.”

Wen Yan saw that he was carrying a fruit basket and other gifts.

“I heard that Madam Zhang is sick and her family asked me to visit her. Miss Wen, can you bring me to see her?”

Xie Yizhe was very polite, but the words that came out of his mouth made it impossible to refuse.

Since he had walked to this floor, it was impossible for him not to know Gu Jinmo’s mother’s ward.

Wen Yan glanced at the emergency room and reckoned that he would not be able to come out for a while.

She nodded and walked forward. Xie Yizhe followed beside her.

“Miss Wen, what exactly is your relationship with my brother?”

Wen Yan stopped in her tracks.

When Wen Yan met Xie Yizhe’s brown eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses, she knew that he had misunderstood.

“We’re just friends.” Not wanting her relationship with Xie Yiye to be misunderstood, she explained, “We’re just friends. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

If Xie Yiye had any other feelings for her, she wouldn’t have gotten so close to him.

Xie Yiye protected her like an older brother protecting his younger sister. The way he looked at her didn’t have the lust that a boy had for a girl.

This was also the reason why she dared to contact Xie Yiye.

“Then does Miss Wen know that he almost ruined the collaboration with the Su family because of you?”

Wen Yan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xie Yiye had indeed made his move, but this was only the beginning.

Seeing that her expression did not change, Xie Yizhe quickly guessed she had known about this long ago.

Although Xiao Ye had never liked Su Qianqian, it had not reached the point of disrupting the cooperation.

Even if he was domineering and willful, he was never ambiguous when it came to major matters. If it was not for a necessary reason, he would not do such a thing.

Seeing Wen Yan and Su Qianqian fighting today, he quickly guessed the reason.

Xiao Ye was doing this for Wen Yan.

“Although Xiao Ye is loyal, he has never done this for any friend.”

She had a “scandal” with Gu Jinmo and caused trouble at the collaboration meeting. All of these absurdities were for her.

Even the good-tempered Xie Yizhe was starting to doubt himself.

If treating a person like this wasn’t love, could it be kinship?

“Miss Wen, as far as I know, you and Gu Jinmo haven’t completed the divorce procedures yet.” Xie Yizhe’s tone softened. “It’s not too late to be friends with Xiao Ye after you’re done with the divorce procedures.”

At this point, there was nothing he didn’t understand.

She treated Xie Yiye as a good friend and didn’t want his family to misunderstand them.

“Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll keep my distance from him.”

Xie Yiye did what he said, and the deal between the two of them ended.

Seeing how tactful she was, Xie Yizhe also told her a piece of good news.

“Our cooperation with the Su family can’t continue. We’ll look for other families to cooperate with on that piece of land.”

Wen Yan smiled.

As long as Su Qianqian’s family didn’t join forces with the Xie Family, she had nothing to fear.

“But there is one thing I want to remind you of.” Xie Yizhe didn’t want to be nosy, but when he saw her smile, he couldn’t help but say, “The Su family isn’t someone to be trifled with. Their grandfather’s generation started off as a mafia.”

Although the country was now cracking down on the mafia, the Su family were already very powerful in the early stages. They would definitely have other backup plans.

The Xie family was not afraid, but once Wen Yan divorced Gu Jinmo, she would probably become the target of the Su family.

It was said that every heir of the Su family had taken a life.

After all, that kind of education method…

Xie Yizhe thought of something and frowned. He seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.

“Thanks for the reminder.” Wen Yan smiled and did not take it seriously.

When Su Qianqian had caused her grandmother’s death, she and the Su family had already become enemies.

The Su family wasn’t a kind family, or else they wouldn’t have raised someone like Su Qianqian.

She brought Xie Yizhe to her mother-in-law’s ward. Wen Yan had just returned to the emergency room when he saw the door open.

Gu Jinmo was pushed out.

Su Qianqian quickly rushed forward and asked, “How is he?”

Wen Yan stood at the side and watched as the doctor took off his mask. This doctor was very young and thin. It was obvious that he was not the one from before.

“His life is not in danger for the time being. The details will depend on the treatment later. As long as the wound is not infected, there won’t be a big problem.”

This voice…

Wen Yan suddenly looked up at him.

Being stared at by Wen Yan, the young doctor smiled, “Any other questions?”

Wen Yan clenched her fists and slowly lowered his eyes.

This person was the doctor who had chatted with Su Qianqian previously.

She wouldn’t have misheard.

At that time, Gu Jinmo was there, so she didn’t hear all of it. However, even if she only heard a part of it, she had planted the seeds of suspicion.

This person knew Su Qianqian and even said he would help her hide it.

What would a doctor need to hide?

The answer was obvious.

Wen Yan gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart.
