I’ll be back after a few words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan took his coat and handed it to her, his voice cold but unable to hide the tenderness for her, \"It’s cold outside, put this on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang felt a warmth in her heart, took the coat, put it on, and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Jiang had never met Ye Rong; she only knew from Jiang Yisheng that Ye Jiuliang and the Ye Family did not have a good relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ye Jiuliang leave on her own, she couldn’t help but worry, \"Will Ajiu be bullied going out alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandma Jiang, don’t worry, no one can bully Jiuliang,\" Feng Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t just saying this to comfort her, if Ye Jiuliang could be bullied, then she wouldn’t be Ye Jiuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow lay on the rooftops, turning the world a vast expanse of white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrolling guard saw Ye Jiuliang, and his loud, clear voice was uniform, the white mist from his breath dissipating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang nodded, her gaze sweeping over the white sedan at the door, her red lips pursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, Aren looked at the old master who was pretending to sleep in the back seat, his face showing helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old master, why don’t we give Miss Jiuliang a call?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for a guard to relay the message could take forever; it might be better to call Ye Jiuliang directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no response. The old master Ye crossed his hands over his stomach, the bulging veins on the back of his hands revealed his inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knock, knock—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone knocked on the car window from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren looked up, and through the car window, the delicate features of the woman came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old master, it’s Miss Jiuliang,\" he said, then opened the car door and got out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Ye slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glimmer shining in their depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jiuliang,\" Aren greeted Ye Jiuliang, then went around to open the car door for the old man in the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang withdrew her hand back into her pocket, her indifferent eyes fixed on the elderly man alighting from the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice carried a tone of detachment, \"Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Ye gave her a glance; her indifferent expression ignited the anger he had barely kept at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face hardened, and he scolded with furious eyes, \"You still know I’m your grandfather. You went into my study to steal when I wouldn’t give you the household registration book. I only learned about your marriage registration from the newspaper. Ye Jiuliang, in what way do you actually regard me as your grandfather?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang watched him with calm eyes, as if she had anticipated his reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like punching cotton, frustrating and ineffective. The old master Ye burned with anger, unable to let it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Jiuliang, do you have to provoke me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang gazed dispassionately at him, a mocking smile creeping over her lips, \"Isn’t it tiring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three short words hit Old Master Ye like a cudgel, heavily pounding on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face, still flushed with residual anger, showed a flash of astonishment, the twisted expression somewhat comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretending to be a good grandfather in front of me, isn’t it tiring? If I remember correctly, your attitude towards me changed after my father passed away. The reason for that change, I believe, is crystal clear to you, old man,\" Ye Jiuliang lightly tapped her foot on the snow-covered ground, her perceptive eyes staring directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care what the reason is, but if you wish to control me like you do Ye Lei and the others, then, I’m sorry, that’s impossible,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The granddaughter who was once looked down upon by him had suddenly come into favor. In the interest-driven Ye Family, the reason wasn’t hard to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>",1359,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","c36323328440baae08a27bdcab3ff9415b5310f72aa6ccaa8d226b0397c8b983","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-494","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-492",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
