Chapter 199: Discovering Jian Yixin's Scheme

Sheng Hanyu had been beaten for no reason, and Jian Yining had also wronged him, so naturally, he was unwilling to let it go; the two grown men fought together.

A long while passed.

The two of them sat on the ground, panting, looking at each other with mutual hatred.

If it were a normal fight, Jian Yining would certainly not be a match for Sheng Hanyu.

But he was truly anxious now, fighting recklessly, and because Sheng Hanyu sensed something was wrong—it seemed like a misunderstanding rather than a scheme plotted by the two of them—he held back, resulting in a draw.

"What exactly is going on? You can tell me now," said Sheng Hanyu.

So he handed over that piece of paper: "Read it yourself."

Aside from the words of gratitude above, Shi Youxuan wrote at the end: That person said it was you who told her I was here. I don't blame you; you are family after all, and it is normal to favor your own.

The company was originally in your names, so I am returning it to you now.

A Ning, goodbye.

Also, please tell Sheng Hanyu that I wish him and Jian Yixin a hundred years of harmony and an early birth of a child!

No need to look for me again, I will be fine.

Shi Youxuan bids you farewell here.

"Sob, sob, sob..."

Jian Yining, a grown man, cried like a child.

He said while crying: "I didn't say it, I didn't tell anyone... Sob, Sheng Hanyu, you are too insidious. It must be you who had me transferred away, then sent people to drive Yingzi away, sowing discord between us..."

Sheng Hanyu looked at him, realizing for the first time that someone who looked quite smart actually had mush for brains!

If he could find Xuanxuan, would he need to sow discord? Wouldn't it be easier to just take her away directly?

"Who all did you tell?" He read the note again and discovered where the problem lay.

Jian Yining swore an oath: "I didn't tell anyone, not a single person. If I'm lying, may I never get the person I love in this lifetime."

"Didn't you tell your sister?"

"No..."

"No, what do you mean?"

Jian Yining stopped crying and leaned in.

The two bruised and battered men, who had just been fighting like gamecocks, were now discussing the contents of the note together.

"I guarantee I didn't tell Jian Yixin. It's impossible for me to tell her," Jian Yining raised his right hand, about to swear again.

Sheng Hanyu pulled his hand down: "Make a phone call and ask."

So Jian Yining made the call and even put it on speakerphone.

Jian Yining: "Jian Yixin, did you go to the Lishui Residential Quarter?"

Jian Yixin admitted: "That's right, I went, so what? Are you here to hold me accountable? Or did Shi Youxuan say something to you? Let me tell you, A Ning, you can have many girlfriends, but you only have one sister. You had better figure out who is the one who is good to you."

"That's right, I told Shi Youxuan that you wouldn't want her and that you were only contacting her to use her. I did all of this for your own good."

Jian Yining understood now; it was her again.

He roared at the phone in anger: "Jian Yixin, why are you so meddlesome? By what right do you interfere in my affairs? How did you find this place? If you don't explain this clearly to me today, I won't have you as a sister anymore."

Jian Yixin's voice was cold and ruthless, a tone Sheng Hanyu had never heard before, sharp and filled with triumph: "Silly brother, do you think I wouldn't know where you are just because you don't come home? You must have never heard of something called GPS, right? I can know everywhere you've been without even stepping out of the house..."

"Finding Shi Youxuan was easy, and I didn't say much to her, just told her that Hanyu and I are getting married... You shouldn't look for her either. In the future, Hanyu and we will be one family; what does it look like for her to be in front of your brother-in-law all day..."

Sheng Hanyu finally discovered another side of Jian Yixin.

"Jian Yixin, I will not marry you. I will bring Xuanxuan back; she will always be my wife."

"Why are you there?"

Sheng Hanyu spoke suddenly, shocking Jian Yixin so much her jaw nearly hit the floor.

But after the shock came anger and humiliation!

He actually showed no mercy like this, completely disregarding their past relationship.

But Jian Yixin felt more panic; she was afraid of losing Sheng Hanyu and hurriedly said: "Hanyu, listen to my explanation. What I just said was all out of anger... My heart for you hasn't changed, I have always loved you..."

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The call had already been disconnected.

Sheng Hanyu took out his own phone to check, and sure enough, it had also been installed with a GPS. Jian Yixin, very good!

Five years of time could indeed change a person. If he hadn't accidentally heard her speak today, he wouldn't have known that Jian Yixin had actually become like this.

"We'll split up to look. I'll go to the Shi Family, you go..." Sheng Hanyu said halfway, not knowing where he should tell Jian Yining to look.

"I'm going back to settle the score with her."

Jian Yining didn't go to look for Shi Youxuan, but went straight home instead.

If Yingzi wanted to hide so they couldn't find her, it was too easy. Going to look for her now was not as good as giving her an explanation.

The Jian Family.

"The young master is back? Madam, the young master is back..." The servant opened the door, saw the young master had returned, and hurriedly shouted upstairs.

The young master hadn't stayed home for two days this whole month, and the Madam often wiped away tears in secret when no one was looking.

"A Ning, A Ning, you're finally back. Li Ma, add two dishes to dinner, make fried bell-shaped dumplings and braised pork ribs." Lady Jian came out of her room, very happy to see her son had returned.

"Where is Jian Yixin? Jian Yixin, Jian Yixin, you come out here!"

After shouting twice with no response, he went to find her in her room.

Before he could go upstairs, he was grabbed by his mother: "A Ning, what are you doing? Coming home and shouting like that, your sister isn't home."

"Where did she go?"

Lady Jian didn't know what had happened between the siblings, but she knew it was nothing good from her son's expression and attitude.

"I don't know."

"Call her and tell her to come back; I have something to discuss with her."

After discovering that his sister had installed a GPS in his phone, Jian Yining had smashed it in a fit of anger, which left him without a phone to use now.

"Tell me first what unpleasantness has occurred between you two siblings, and then I will decide whether or not to find her for you."

Lady Jian looked at her son with eyes full of wariness; before her daughter went out, she had instructed her that if A Ning returned, she must keep him at home and not let him go out.

Although she did not know why, she followed her daughter's words implicitly.

Lady Jian signaled to the servants, telling them to close the door and stand guard at the entrance.

Then, she said to her son in a grave and earnest tone: "A Ning, your sister has suffered a great deal; she has endured pain that others cannot even imagine. That she could return alive is already a blessing from heaven for us, so can you please be better to your sister?"

Jian Yining was unconvinced: "I have already been good enough to her. If it were anyone else, I would have turned against them long ago; I wouldn't have waited until now."

His mother took the opportunity to say: "Then be even better to your sister, and help your father and me make up for the debt we owe her over these years. You are biological siblings, and blood is thicker than water; don't act like enemies whenever you meet. Just consider it Mom begging you..."

"Mom, I have an urgent matter to discuss with her. Go call her and tell her to come back."

"She didn't take her phone when she went out."

His mother was lying; she always couldn't help but blink when she lied, just as she was doing now.

Thus, Jian Yining knew that it was impossible to get his mother to help; it would be good enough if she didn't hinder him—no, wait, she would definitely hinder him.

"I'll go find her myself." He walked to the main entrance and discovered he could not get out.

The servants were guarding the entrance as if facing a formidable enemy, only the person they were guarding against was him, the young master.

"Move aside, what are you all doing blocking the door?" Jian Yining's reprimand was of no use.

His mother said from behind him: "Lock the young master in his room; no one is allowed to let him out without my word."
