Chapter 2422: Chapter 2422: Is Yu Xiuzhun Dead or Alive?
How long has she been standing here?
Did she hear all the conversation he had with Dan Hanjie just now?
Jin Chenye’s face changed slightly, but he didn’t take the initiative to speak.
Since he came looking and approached Dan Hanjie in front of Qin Youxuan, he never intended to hide it from her from the start.
"Brother, does Mingmei also think Yu Xiuzhun isn’t dead?" Qin Youxuan’s bright cat-like eyes flickered as she spoke softly.
"No, she’s just speculating who gave Meimei those photos of Yu Xiuzhun, letting Meimei know about her biological father." Jin Chenye said softly, his hands in his pockets as he faced Qin Youxuan.
Qin Youxuan nodded, "If that’s the case, don’t let her know. Before you really find out anything, don’t let her know a single piece of information."
Jin Chenye froze, unexpectedly lifting his head, "Youxuan, you..."
"I’m not taking sides or disbelieving you, I just think it’s better not to have hope than to have it and then face despair again. After three years, do you really want Mingmei to go through it once more?"
"..."
Jin Chenye’s palm tightened as he looked intently at Qin Youxuan, nodded once, and then stepped away.
In the vast study, only Dan Hanjie remained, still standing by the desk.
Seeing Qin Youxuan walk in, his enchanting gaze flickered, reaching his hand towards her.
Qin Youxuan smiled and stepped forward, placing her hand into his palm, allowing Dan Hanjie to pull her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Aren’t you going to ask me whether Yu Xiuzhun is alive or dead, hm?"
"You’ll naturally tell me when you want to, regardless of whether what my brother said is true or false, I believe you have your reasons."
Qin Youxuan turned around, facing Dan Hanjie directly.
No one knows better than her that if Dan Hanjie wanted Yu Xiuzhun dead, he would have been dead three years ago.
If Yu Xiuzhun is indeed under Dan Hanjie’s control now, it’s actually a good thing; they needn’t worry about Ye Mingmei being alone, though Jin Chenye...
Ye Mingmei had mentioned to her previously that she was planning to have Jin Chenye attend Meimei’s parent-teacher meetings. It seems they might be trying to start something, but if Yu Xiuzhun is truly not dead, it certainly isn’t good news for Jin Chenye.
"Listen up, Yu Xiuzhun is not in my hands!" Dan Hanjie noticed her distraction and grabbed her chin, forcing Qin Youxuan to look up. "Let Jin Chenye investigate whatever he wants, but I won’t allow you to think about him!"
"..."
This big jealous jar, really!
Qin Youxuan rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.
"Qin Youxuan, thinking about another man, I don’t think you’re in the right!" Dan Hanjie hesitated for a moment, then strode after her.
By the stairs, a small, soft figure stood there, having arrived as early as Qin Youxuan and listened to the conversation just as clearly, though he stayed hidden by the stairs without moving forward.
Seeing Dan Hanjie chase Qin Youxuan back to the room, the small figure hesitated for a moment before turning downstairs.
He returned to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed a familiar number.
"Mr. Diwu, Uncle saw Meimei’s drawings and came to our house to quarrel with Dad. I’ve seen those drawings; Meimei said you taught them. Is Meimei’s dad with you?"
-
Ye Family Villa.
Ye Mingmei had been sitting in the living room ever since seeing Meimei’s drawings, from dusk till dawn.
