If she didn’t do anything wrong, she wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Xie Zigui had done something wrong, so of course she was afraid of checking the surveillance cameras.

Su Qianqian, who was standing at the side, also started to panic. She knew the entire process, and of course, she knew something would happen once the surveillance cameras were checked.

Xie Huaiyuan instructed Xie Yiting, “Go take a look at the surveillance cameras.”

Xie Zigui ignored her wet body and quickly pulled Xie Yiting back, “Second Brother, I’ll go with you.”

Her tone was inevitably a little flustered.

Xie Huaiyuan’s eyes darkened.

“I’m just curious. I want to know how she pushed me,” Xie Zigui quickly explained.

Full of lies!

Wen Yan hugged the box, her red lips curled into a gorgeous smile, “You’re looking at the surveillance camera without changing your clothes. Miss Xie is really curious.”

Only then did everyone turn to look at Xie Zigui and realize she was only wrapped in a towel. She hadn’t even had the time to change her clothes.

Xie Huaiyuan frowned seriously. As a middle-aged man, his tone was inevitably forceful, “You won’t be at ease even if your Second Brother goes to see it personally? Be good and go change your clothes first.”

Xie Zigui’s face turned red as she mumbled a few words. She looked at Xie Yiting with an aggrieved expression before turning around to change her clothes.

Xie Yiting didn’t say anything and walked towards the surveillance room.

“Miss Wen, Qianqian, come in and have a seat.” Xie Huaiyuan said gently.

Su Qianqian was worried about the surveillance cameras and kept her feet on the ground. When she heard Xie Huaiyuan calling her, she could only bite the bullet and nod.

A few of them sat in the hall and waited for the results.

Wen Yan put the box aside and calmly took the tea from the maid.

Xie Huaiyuan saw that she was neither humble nor overbearing. She didn’t even have the pettiness and nervousness of a small family. The admiration in his eyes deepened.

In his early years, he had been a soldier and had a strong aura. Coupled with his status as the richest man, many girls did not even dare to look him in the eye. However, this Wen Yan, as Xiao Ye said, was indeed a little different.

“I heard from Xiao Ye that Miss Wen was also adopted?” Xie Huaiyuan suddenly said.

Su Qianqian tightened her grip on the cup in her hand.

She pretended not to care and took a big sip of tea, but her eyes were fixed on Wen Yan and Xie Huaiyuan.

“Yes.” Wen Yan answered calmly, “Although I didn’t have parents since I was young, the love Grandma gave me was enough to make up for the love I lacked.”

“Your grandmother must be very outstanding.” Xie Huaiyuan sighed from the bottom of his heart. Children from single-parent families or children who lacked love would have irreparable trauma when they grew up. They would either feel inferior or conceited. However, he could not see these flaws in Wen Yan. This meant the person who raised her was indeed doing a good job.

“If I have the chance, I would like to meet such an elder.”

He did not know Wen Yan’s grandmother had passed away.

Wen Yan’s eyes drooped. She thought of the old lady who had raised her with all her heart despite being poor, and her calm heart began to waver again.

She looked at Su Qianqian mockingly, “Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away.”

Xie Huaiyuan looked surprised and regretful, “That’s a pity.”

“I just regret that I didn’t let her enjoy her life and even died because of me.”

Su Qianqian clenched her fists, her teeth grinding.

Wen Yan’s gaze was indistinct, and her non-specific words made people suspicious.

Xie Huaiyuan glanced at Su Qianqian and stopped talking.

On the other side, Xie Yiting was looking at the surveillance camera. After looking at it twice, he finally saw the truth.

It’s not Wen Yan who’s at fault.

He held the mouse and paused on the delete button.

“Why are you hesitating?” Xie Yizhe’s voice rang out behind her, “I thought you would delete it directly.”

Xie Yiting’s hand paused and he said helplessly, “Guigui isn’t that kind of person. Wen Yan must have offended her somewhere.”

His heart was filled with exoneration for Xie Zigui.

Xie Yizhe was hesitating if he should tell him about Xie Yiye and Wen Yan’s good relationship.

His Second Brother was good in everything, but he was a little biased and protective of his own people. He was fair to everyone, but the scales were heavily tilted toward his own people.

This was very similar to Xiao Ye.

“You’re a lawyer. I thought you would treat everyone fairly.”

“I will treat everyone fairly in court, but now that it concerns Guigui’s reputation, I can’t ignore it. Big Brother, after Xianxian went missing, Guigui has been healing us on behalf of Xianxian.”

Xie Yiting’s words were both helpless and desolate.

After Xianxian left, their mother’s mental state had been affected, which was a fatal blow to their family.

They only felt better after Guigui came over.

All these years, they had treated Gui Gui as an Xianxian’s replacement, and it had become a habit.

Xie Yizhe didn’t say anything. Under his transparent gold-rimmed glasses, his almond-shaped eyes looked a little deeper.

Xiao Ye was so tired he had already fallen asleep. Otherwise, he might have gotten into a fight with Xie Yiting.

He was wondering if he should tell Xie Yiting that Wen Yan was Xianxian, but before he could say anything, Xie Yiting deleted the surveillance footage.

The information was erased.

Xie Yizhe frowned, “Yiting, this is not fair to WenYan.”

“It’s unfair. If there’s retribution, then let it fall on me.” Xie Yiting’s smile was bright. He looked like a person who had grown up in the sun, but it allowed him to see the darkness hidden in the depths.

“Wen Yan is divorcing Gu Jinmo. I heard she left with nothing. I guess she needs money the most now. I’ll give her enough money to compensate her.”

Xie Yiting felt this was a good solution. As long as they gave enough money as compensation, no one would reject it.

Xie Yizhe sighed.

Xianxian’s disappearance had affected her mother and the three brothers.

Xiao Ting usually looked cheerful, but when it came to matters involving his family, he would subconsciously become paranoid.

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade him, Xie Yizhe also handed him a card, “I have a share of the compensation for Wen Yan.”

Xie Yiting raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“Last time, she was bullied by Cousin. I promised her I would give her an explanation. Since you want to compensate her, then give her my share as well.”

Xie Yiting took it silently.

Xie Yizhe thought of that beautiful woman who had an air of arrogance. His gaze swept across the black card indifferently, “There’s a high chance that she won’t accept our compensation.”

However, she would definitely have a bad impression of them.

“She didn’t lose anything and can still get a large sum of money. What’s there to be dissatisfied about?” Xie Yiting didn’t deny it. “It was Guigui who fell into the water, not her.”

In his opinion, Wen Yan had no reason not to accept it.

“She’s different from the other girls.”

Xie Yizhe narrowed his eyes. He thought of her in a red dress and how she looked when she was competing with Xie Xiaoyu.

This Wen Yan was like a strong rose that would not bow down to anyone.

He couldn’t imagine how such a woman could endure being Gu Jinmo’s secret wife for three years.

When he thought about how Xie Yiye wanted to acknowledge Wen Yan as his sister, he kept his words to himself.

As long as Xiao Ting could resolve this matter, it was better not to let Xiao Ye know, lest the two brothers start fighting.

“Little Ting, if Xianxian comes back and has a conflict with Guigui, who will you help?” Xie Yizhe asked curiously.

“Guigui is so kind. She won’t have any conflicts with Xianxian.” Xie Yiting retorted.

“That might not be the case.” Xie Yizhe smiled like a sly fox.

“You mean… Could it be that Xianxian has been found?” Xie Yiting’s eyes lit up.
