Even he, who was always composed, was somewhat surprised by these words.
Being stripped of inheritance rights, in a wealthy family, that truly feels worse than death—it’s hundreds of millions in assets gone just like that, not to mention Dragon-Phoenix Jewelry, which must be worth at least tens of billions. Giving half of that to that man, it seems this time, the second branch of the Ou Family really got played hard by that person.
However, this did achieve their goal. After all, didn’t he have that girl enter the Ou corporation just to take down the second branch and that scum, Ou Yuze?
Lin Yebai looked at the newspaper in his hands, and finally, a slow shimmer of light began to emerge in his eyes, "Xiaojin, what do you think, if we told Aning about this news, would she be happy?"
Xiaojin was momentarily stunned!
She should... be right? The girl’s initial goal had been to take revenge on the second branch of the Ou Family, and now that it was achieved, she should be happy, right?
Xiaojin snapped out of it and began to feel a bit excited, "Then... should I go and tell her about it?"
Lin Yebai’s fingers suddenly trembled, and his expression, unexpectedly, showed the same unease as a child’s...
When Qiao Feiyu arrived at Jasmine Courtyard to find Ye Ning, she was upstairs teaching her son how to paint, "Do you want to sketch?"
Ye Xiaobao shook his head, "I like gouache, Mom, can I draw you?"
Then Ye Ning put on a beautiful dress, sat quietly, and let the little one start to paint her.
This was probably the first time in many years that she had spent the whole day with him . The daily life of mother and son was actually quite fulfilling. In the morning, she would have Aunt Zhang buy some groceries, and then she would cook his favorite egg and crystal noodle soup.
After breakfast, mother and son would start on their respective activities—the little one painting or playing with models or something, and she, earnestly carving her jade.
Yes, besides her eyes, she was actually a very good jade carver. Not exceptionally outstanding, but she carved with great care.
Qiao Feiyu walked in and immediately saw the baby standing in front of the easel and the mother, sitting behind it, posing for her son and meticulously grinding the jade in her hands. The sunlight was very bright, and the scene was very warm.
Qiao Feiyu suddenly felt reluctant to disturb them.
But very soon, the mother sitting there noticed her and raised her head, "Xiaoyu, what brings you here?"
Only then did Qiao Feiyu come in and place the fruits and snacks she brought on the table, "I came to see you. I heard you were back but didn’t get the chance to visit. How is it? Are you used to the new house?"
The woman with her back to the sunlight smiled without answering, but the small figure standing at the easel replied, "It’s pretty good. Did Auntie Qiao come specially to see us today?"
"That..." Qiao Feiyu suddenly felt awkward.
She had long anticipated her brother and best friend’s situation. Her brother was a rather introverted person; over the years, she hadn’t seen him associating with any women, much less having female friends.
But he had been more than good to this best friend of hers, exceeding her imagination. From the time he rescued her five years ago, he had been nearly inseparable in taking care of her, so much so that it made her jealous.
So she had actually guessed her brother’s feelings a long time ago, but what she didn’t expect was that, after so many years, her brother had never confessed, and once they laid bare their feelings, things became .
