1374: Confrontation

Confrontation

Hearing this, Ye Zhifan raised his head and stared at Ye Jian intently. After a long while, he said calmly, "I don't know what you're talking about."2

"Mr. Ye is indeed a smart person." Ye Jian raised her eyebrows. There was a chill in her clear eyes as she looked at him with a faint smile. "A smart person would know what I'm talking about. It's a piece of jade that was already priceless more than a decade ago. I can understand if Mr. Ye wants to keep it a secret."

She even knew that he went to do an appraisal secretly more than ten years ago!

Ye Zhifan gritted his teeth and stared at Ye Jian, who knew everything but didn't say it. "There's nothing for me to hide. I don't need to hide anything from you."

Uncle Gen had already passed away. Who else knew about the jade? If he didn't admit it, what else could she do?

Ye Jian couldn't help but laugh at Ye Zhifan. She could guess what he was thinking. She could tell what he was thinking from the subtle changes on his face. "Do you think I don't know my mother's belongings? Ever since I mentioned it once that year, you immediately imitated it and gave it to Ye Ying. You were afraid that I would mention it again and it will be convenient to give me an imitation if I ask for it."

"I've already said that Mr. Ye is a smart person. It's a pity that you only think of yourself as a smart person. You think that other people are stupid. You can't hide the jade in your hands just because you want to. It depends…"

She suddenly stopped talking. Hearing the meaning in her words, Ye Zhifan stared at the girl that was becoming stranger to him. She wanted him to take the initiative to ask her!

"What does it depend on?"

If he needed to know what she was thinking, he could only ask her!

Not only was Ye Zhifan's gaze cold, but his low and deep voice was the same too. It was like a thick layer of ice on the outside. He asked her coldly and forcefully.

Ye Zhifan was forced into this situation but he didn't leave angrily. If Ye Ying hadn't dragged him down, his career would've been even smoother.

Ye Jian was impressed.

Xia Jinyuan smiled dotingly as he watched from the side. Little Fox was really magnanimous. She was impressed by her old enemy.

"It depends on whether I want to take it back or not. Remember what I said, Mr. Ye." Ye Jian smiled as she finished speaking. Then, she admired Ye Zhifan's sudden change in expression with interest. It was really satisfying!

She had to make things difficult for him too!

Ye Zhifan's gaze turned dark. He stared at the girl who was still smiling. After a long while, he said coldly, "Ye Jian, you don't have the ability to threaten me." After he finished speaking, he left.

Ye Jian didn't forget the jade. She just didn't want it!

She knew that it was priceless but she didn't want it. Why?

Even Chen Dongfeng knew about Ye Jian's background. Does Ye Jian also know that she isn't his brother's biological daughter?

When Ye Jian mentioned the jade pendant again, Ye Zhifan felt uncomfortable.

He busied himself for the past few days but didn't gain anything. When he left, his footsteps were heavy. Not only did he not solve his own problem, but he also brought back a bunch of problems that gave him a headache.

He needs to investigate this thoroughly. He needs to investigate this thoroughly when he gets back!

"Mr. Ye, there are some people that you can't touch just because you want to. Take Ye Jian for example. No matter how high your position is, you can't touch her." An even colder voice came slowly with a hint of laziness. "If you touch someone you shouldn't, no matter how powerful the person behind Mr. Ye is, he might not be able to protect you."
