Chapter 1374 Butting Heads
After hearing that, Ye Zhifan’s 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: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Mister Ye is truly a smart person.” Ye Jian raised her browns, her clear pupils contained a frosty essence, as she looked at him with a smirk, “A smart person wouldn’t not understand what I’m 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.”
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 Zhifan’s expressionlessly stared at Ye Jian, who knew everything but deliberately not talked about it, “You do not have anything that would make me steal it, neither do I need to steal something from you.”
The Old Uncle had already passed away; who else knew about the jade pendant? If he doesn’t 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. “Do you think I wouldn’t 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. Wasn’t that out of fear that when I brought it up, you can just give me the fake one?”
“I’ve already said that Mister Ye is a smart person; it’s a pity Mister Ye believes only he is the smart person and that everyone else was stupid. The jade pendant isn’t something that you can steal if you have the intention to. Instead, it’s…”
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!
“It’s what?”
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 that’s covered in a layer of thick ice, he asked her in a cold and hard tone.
He didn’t get angry and leave even after being forced into such a predicament. If there wasn’t 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 fox’s heart is really unusually big; she was even impressed by her nemesis.
“It’s whether or not I want to take it back, remember my words properly, Mister Ye.” Ye Jian finished with a shallow smile, then admired Ye Zhifan’s 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 she’ll have to give him a taste of his own medicine!
Ye Zhifan’s gaze went completely glum; he stared at the girl who was still able to smile relaxedly; after a while, he coldly said: “Ye Jian, you still do not have the ability to threaten me.” With that said, he pulled his feet and walked away.
Ye Jian didn’t forget about the jade pendant, that’s because she didn’t want it!
She clearly knew it was priceless but still didn’t want it; why?
Even Chen Dongfeng knew about Ye Jian’s legacy, and that she’s not his big brother’s biological daughter?
Bringing up the jade pendant, Ye Jian had really given him a taste of his own medicine, and it wasn’t 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.
He’ll have to figure it out; he’ll have to go back and properly investigate, else it won’t do!”
“Mister Ye, there are some people that are untouchable by the likes of you, for example, Ye Jian. It doesn’t matter how high you climb up the ranks; you still won’t be able to touch her.” A cold-blooded voice flowed into his ears; there was an unconcerned, slothful tone within it, “If you touched someone you’re not supposed to, I’m afraid it doesn’t matter how powerful Mister Ye’s backing is, as they can’t protect you.”
