Dan Hanjie’s sports car drew a striking arc before coming to a stable stop in front of the gate.
He turned off the engine and pushed open the door to step out.
Casting a glance at the people standing before the gate, his gaze narrowed slightly.
Upon seeing Dan Hanjie, the butler immediately came up to greet him, “The Ito Family is here.”
“Mr. Ito has come from afar. How could he stand outside? Please invite our esteemed guest in,” Dan Hanjie’s icy gaze skimmed over the crowd, finally resting on Chiyo Ito, who was hiding behind Ito Hiroki.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a mockingly amused smile.
He took the lead and headed into the villa.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Qin Youxuan coming down from upstairs.
Seeing her, a flicker of Sir Huo, dead in the alley, crossed Dan Hanjie’s eyes, and he tensed up.
The police had already opened a case, but a thorough investigation revealed no enemies of Sir Huo’s.
An elderly man nearing his nineties should have been enjoying his twilight years.
If they hadn’t found that place, he might not have been silenced.
This indicated that someone already knew he was investigating Qin Youxuan’s background and was even trying to stop him.
“Ito Hiroki also came to America?” Qin Youxuan glanced at the people walking toward the living room and, with a faint flash in her catlike eyes, she expressed her surprise.
She had thought Chiyo Ito was merely lying to force Dan Hanjie to acknowledge the child in her belly.
Now it seemed that what she had said was true.
The Ito Family’s unwed daughter’s pregnancy was indeed a scandal fit to become the butt of jokes for others.
Plus, with Ito Hiroki so intent on pinning the blame on Dan Hanjie, how could he stay put at such a time?
Perhaps he was delighted that Chiyo Ito’s child had come at just the right moment.
With this child, Dan Hanjie and the Ito Family’s ties could no longer be denied.
Just didn’t know whether he would still be able to smile when he found out he had been deceived by Chiyo Ito from the very start.
“If you’re tired, go upstairs to rest. I’ll handle these matters. Once this is over, I’ll accompany you to the safe house,” Dan Hanjie approached her and lifted his hand to touch her face.
Qin Youxuan’s eyes flickered, and she evaded his hand.
“No need. I just woke up. It’s good to watch the excitement, consider it a pastime.”
Dan Hanjie looked at his own hand that came up empty, his gaze slightly darkened.
Looking at Qin Youxuan’s face, its expression was bland, devoid of any visible emotions, and one couldn’t even tell if she was happy or not.
Even with the promise to accompany her to see Ning Yanan, she was still angry.
Dan Hanjie frowned and his sharp gaze swept toward the people behind him.
Good, he was in a bad mood now, so the Ito Family would just have to be unlucky.
“Mr. Ito, I have already said what had to be said when I was in Japan. You bring so many people to my place today. Are you here to provoke me?” Dan Hanjie walked to the couch and took an elegant seat.
He reached out and grabbed Qin Youxuan’s hand, pulling her beside him, forcing her to sit close to him.
Qin Youxuan bit her lip and turned to glance at him.
Dan Hanjie showed no intention of letting go of her hand.
If she wanted to watch the drama, she would have to do as he said.
Qin Youxuan did not argue with him and obediently sat by his side, her head leaning slightly against his shoulder.
Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, Ito Hiroki’s face turned sour, and his hand slapped down on the table.
“Dan Hanjie, you are well aware of what you have done. Chiyo is now carrying a child. You can’t simply shrug off this responsibility. By the time the child is born, you might find it impossible to deny,” he said.
“Let her give birth to the child first. I would actually like to see what kind of joke the Ito Family can make with a child who has nothing to do with me,” he replied.
