When you mention someone, they appear.
Ye Qianzhi entered, exhausted, from outside. Seeing Ye Chenhan, his expression worsened.
Shen Meixiu poked her head out, looking behind him. Seeing him return alone, she was surprised.
"You're back," Shen Meixiu stepped forward to greet him, repeatedly signaling Ye Chenhan. "Chenhan, what were you just telling me?"
Ye Shaoting pushed Ye Chenhan, who obediently approached Ye Qianzhi.
"Dad, I'm coming to the company tomorrow," Ye Chenhan said sincerely. "My abilities don't compare to my three older brothers. I've decided to start from the bottom, to understand our company's business thoroughly, and then climb up based on my abilities."
He spoke grandly, but whether he could follow through was another matter.
In the entire household, Ye Qianzhi understood him best and paid no mind to his words.
"Dad?" Ye Chenhan called out, receiving no response.
Ye Qianzhi rubbed his temples and waved his arm wearily, "Tell your eldest brother to arrange it."
With that, he shrugged off Shen Meixiu's touch and turned to go upstairs.
"Okay, then if I have anything else, I won't tell you and will directly tell Big Brother," Ye Chenhan replied excitedly.
As long as he didn't question it, he would be easy to deceive.
Shen Meixiu glanced at Ye Qianzhi's retreating back and muttered, "Could it be that he didn't see her?"
Ye Shaoting, with a hint of confusion, followed him.
Seeing Ye Qianzhi enter the study, he quickly appeared at the door as it was closing.
"Dad, did things not go smoothly?" Ye Shaoting inquired.
Ye Qianzhi had specifically informed Ye Shaoting of his whereabouts when he left and had also asked him to prepare a room to welcome Jiang Ziyu.
Releasing the doorknob, Ye Qianzhi let him in.
The father and son stayed in the study. Ye Shaoting observed Ye Qianzhi's expression. "Perhaps the Di family won't let her go?"
"No," Ye Qianzhi shook his head. "Your sister doesn't want to come back. She's willing to believe Di Mingjue is the son of the person who killed her mother, yet she refuses to follow me, her own father."
At this, Ye Qianzhi felt a surge of anger.
Everything had always proceeded as he had planned, yet the matter concerning Lu Yuman was beyond his control.
He liked the features Jiang Ziyu possessed that belonged to Lu Yuman, yet, to some extent, he also detested these features. This made it difficult for him to control Jiang Ziyu.
"Then should we just let her stay with the Di family?" Ye Shaoting probed tentatively.
Ye Qianzhi shook his head. "One week. By then, if they cannot refute my evidence, she will have to return with me and completely sever ties with the Di family."
Seeing that Ye Qianzhi was determined to bring Jiang Ziyu back, Ye Shaoting felt a sense of caution.
Exiting the study, Ye Shaoting greeted Shen Meixiu and then drove away from the Ye residence.
...
The Capital.
By investigating the insurance company's records from that year, it was confirmed that Lu Yuman and Di Mingjue's mother were involved in a car accident on the same day, on the same road, and processed by the same insurance company.
However, the car accidents did not occur at the same time. Lu Yuman's accident happened half an hour after Di Mingjue's mother's car accident.
With this clue, Di Mingjue's suspicion fell entirely on Jiang Wenbin.
According to Jiang Ziyu's recollection, Lu Yuman always had a driver accompanying her when she went out. For some unknown reason that year, Lu Yuman had her accident only once when she didn't have a driver with her.
The only possibility was that the driver might have known why Lu Yuman had to drive alone that day.
However, after Lu Yuman's car accident, Jiang Wenbin used this incident to dismiss the driver from the Jiang family. As for the driver's current whereabouts, Jiang Ziyu did not know.
Di Mingjue sent people to search for the driver's whereabouts, while he personally went to meet Jiang Wenbin.
Under Jiang Ziyu's influence, the Jiang family had long since fallen from prominence in the Capital.
