Ye Xingbei was stunned: “Xiao Xue, what…what did you say?”
Yian Jingxue pinched her cheek and cheerfully repeated: “I just said I’ve made my will. If I accidentally die during this trip back to Beijing, all of my wealth will be left to you. Just take care of my grandfather and Xiao Dao and Xiao Jian for me!”
Ye Xingbei was dumbfounded: “Xiao Xue, have you lost your mind? You’re still young. Why make a will?”
“Life and death have nothing to do with age,” Yian Jingxue shrugged. “If it hadn’t been for my big fat life, I would’ve died in my teens and wouldn’t have lived till now. I must make a will! With a will, everything would be yours if I die. That way, I can rest in peace!”
She scoffed, “If I die and my wealth gets left to those disgusting snakes of the Yian Family, I wouldn’t be able to close my eyes even in death!”
Ye Xingbei looked at her heartbrokenly and only spoke after a long while: “That might work. After you go back, find a way to tell them about your will. Let them know they won’t get anything from you if you die. They might let you go then.” “Right!” Yian Jingxue’s eyes brightened suddenly. “What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of it? Haha! Xingbei, you’re so smart! You’re awesome!”
Yian Jingxue gave Ye Xingbei a big kiss on the face.
The reason her two uncles wanted her dead was for her wealth.
If she tells them that if she dies, all her wealth will be d to Ye Xingbei without any strings attached, then her uncles will get nothing if she dies.
Her uncles wouldn’t kill her then, would they?
How did she not think of such a simple idea?
Yian Jingxue’s good mood continued until she checked in at the airport.
As she waved goodbye to Ye Xingbei at the boarding gate, tears welled up in her eyes. “Xingbei, come to Beijing to visit me soon!”
“Alright!” Ye Xingbei promised. “I definitely will!”
In a couple more days, she would be going to Beijing with Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei to meet her grandparents.
She hadn’t had the time to discuss her family background with Yian Jingxue yet.
Once she arrived in Beijing, she would give Yian Jingxue a thorough explanation of everything. It would surely give Yian Jingxue quite the shock!
Ye Xingbei watched the plane take off before leaving the airport.
Parting was always a sad affair. She returned to her office and remained melancholic, absorbed in thoughts of the separation, unable to shake off her low spirits until the afternoon.
She took a short rest after lunch then continued work. She was thinking about a new project proposal when her office phone rang.
Picking up the phone, she absentmindedly answered “Hello?”
“Director,” Su Miao’s sweet voice rang out unhurriedly. “Jiang Siyou would like to meet with you. Should I let her in?”
“Jiang Siyou?” Ye Xingbei responded. “Let her in.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingbei frowned.
What could Jiang Siyou possibly want from her?
Nothing good, that’s for sure.
Before she had time to think too much, there was a knock at the door. Su Miao let herself in after pushing the door open, stepped aside and announced, “Director, your visitor is here.”
Ye Xingbei looked at her, “You can leave now.”
“Yes, Director.” Su Miao courteously nodded.
She left the room and closed the door behind her once Jiang Siyou had entered the room.
Jiang Siyou took a few steps forward, her eyes red and swollen. She stared at Ye Xingbei in silence.
Impatiently Ye Xingbei frowned: “Jiang Siyou, I am pressed for time. If you have something to say, spit it out. Otherwise, you may leave..”
