CHAPTER 295: CHAPTER 295

"Grandfather, this necklace doesn’t have any antique feel to it, how could it possibly be real?"

Jiang Weiwei asked in astonishment after her initial shock.

Yu Man also chimed in, "Exactly, no matter how realistic this imitation is, it can’t fool the original owner."

But as soon as the two finished speaking, they were rebuked by Jiang Tairan.

"This is real; Mr. Lai De said that their daughter bit on this necklace, leaving a tiny teeth mark. The teeth imprint Moxi found on the necklace closely matches his description."

At this moment, Jiang Tairan looked at Jiang Moxi, his eyes brimming with excitement and joy.

Not only had Jiang Moxi secured a position at the National Security Department, but she also found the necklace Mr. Lai De wanted, helping them open the doors to THE ONE Group.

Such a capable girl, truly a blessing for the Jiang Family!

As soon as Jiang Tairan finished speaking, the way everyone else looked at Jiang Moxi changed.

"She actually found it?"

"How is that possible..."

Especially Jiang Weiwei and Yu Man, who seemed struck, their legs weakening.

Had they not been supporting each other, they would probably have collapsed on the ground.

Xiao Qingyun and Zhao Guangmei had mixed feelings; happy that Yu Man was embarrassed, but worried because Jiang Moxi had found the necklace, further solidifying Yu Man’s family’s authority over the Jiang Family.

However, they were all curious about how exactly Jiang Moxi managed to find the necklace.

But facing the curious and emotionally charged gazes of those around her, Jiang Moxi only said, "How I got the necklace is none of your business. I just hope you will stick to the agreement we made, from now on no interference with one another."

Upon hearing this, the ecstasy in Jiang Tairan’s eyes faded considerably.

"Moxi, I drafted the agreement thinking you wouldn’t find the necklace. I didn’t really want you to break off relations with us..." Jiang Tairan tried to make amends with Jiang Moxi.

After all, a granddaughter as outstanding as Jiang Moxi might not come by again.

Jiang Tairan naturally did not want to let her go, in case they needed her help in the future.

But what Jiang Tairan didn’t anticipate was that before he even finished speaking, Jiang Moxi suddenly picked up the necklace from the table.

"If you can’t keep your promise, then I can destroy it too." Jiang Moxi’s eyes, cool and penetrating, filled with a distancing aggression.

Seeing Jiang Moxi about to forcefully tear the necklace, Jiang Tairan and the others panicked.

"Moxi, let’s discuss this!"

"Exactly, the necklace took so much effort to recover, we can’t just destroy it like that!"

Other than Yu Man and Jiang Weiwei who were still dazed, everyone else was trying to persuade Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi knew well, they weren’t pitying the effort she put into obtaining the necklace; they were merely thinking of themselves.

They really didn’t want to miss the opportunity to engage with THE ONE Group.

Especially the interest-driven Jiang Tairan, who quickly changed his tone: "Alright, I’ll keep my promise, we’ll sever the ties and not interfere with each other. Just don’t destroy the necklace!"

Jiang Tairan didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to collaborate with THE ONE Group, and as for Jiang Moxi...

Jiang Tairan acknowledged, she was indeed outstanding and capable.

But if her abilities couldn’t be utilized by them, keeping her in the Jiang Family would only be a disaster.

Getting the answer she wanted, Jiang Moxi threw the necklace back and then turned to leave.

Li Tinglu wanted to catch up, but was pulled back by Jiang Ruxin.

"Don’t create trouble for me. Didn’t you see how stiff things are between her and her family? If you keep in touch with her, what if you also get ostracized by these people?"

Jiang Ruxin tried to persuade her, but Li Tinglu wouldn’t listen. However, Jiang Ruxin was too strong, and Li Tinglu couldn’t break free, so she could only watch helplessly as Jiang Moxi walked away...

When Jiang Moxi left the Jiang’s Old Mansion, she got directly into Fu Youhan’s car.

"How did it go?" Fu Youhan took Jiang Moxi’s hand, noticing it was ice-cold, he clasped her hand tightly in his palm to warm it.

"I guess I’ve cut ties now." Jiang Moxi tried to appear nonchalant, but her eyes unwillingly reddened.

In the eyes of those so-called relatives, she was less than Jiang Weiwei and less than tangible benefits, and it was something she couldn’t let go of.

"Fool! I’m here for you, I will stay by your side from now on..."

Fu Youhan saw the girl’s long, dense eyelashes wet with tears, her pitiful appearance made him lose control, and he pulled Jiang Moxi into his arms and kissed her soothingly.

Perhaps she was really upset, Jiang Moxi didn’t resist today.

The way she allowed Fu Youhan to dominate her with teary eyes made him inexplicably emotional.

But in front of the gate of Jiang’s Old Mansion was not an appropriate place, so Fu Youhan had to suppress his desires, and drove off with Jiang Moxi.

*

Ye Chen had booked a private restaurant.

When Fu Youhan arrived with Jiang Moxi, Yu Dingding was happily chatting with the owner.

Today, Yu Dingding was dressed in a white sweater and deep gray straight-leg pants, paired with a wine-red long vest, she looked efficient and bright, devoid of any worldly air.

The owner, Sister Wu, used to be the head chef in one of Ye Chen’s hotels, later she resigned to open this private restaurant.

Sister Wu was skilled in cooking but simple in other aspects, not cunning like others who held multiple intents in their hearts.

Moreover, Ye Chen still loved the taste of her cooking, so he often brought friends here to eat.

However, this was the first time Ye Chen brought a woman to this restaurant, and Sister Wu was very curious about Yu Dingding, constantly inquiring about her, to the extent that Ye Chen felt neglected.

Ye Chen thought Sister Wu’s curiosity about Yu Dingding was because she was the first woman he brought here.

Until he heard Sister Wu ask Yu Dingding: "Miss Yu, do you have a partner? My brother is just a few years older than you, currently unmarried..."

At this point, Ye Chen realized, Sister Wu actually wanted Yu Dingding to be her sister-in-law.

He was annoyed that Sister Wu dared to consider his friend for her brother, yet he was curious about how Yu Dingding would respond, whether she would claim Ye Chen as her boyfriend?

The thought made Ye Chen unexpectedly eager.

But what he never expected was Yu Dingding’s response to Sister Wu: "Sorry, I’m currently being a Mistress! My employer probably doesn’t want a mistress."

After saying that, she looked at Ye Chen with a smile.

Ye Chen and Sister Wu: "..."

Sister Wu evidently did not expect such a blunt response from Yu Dingding, and was visibly embarrassed.

"You should say I’m your boyfriend! What employer, when did I become your employer!" Ye Chen stepped forward, his face smiling, but the smile looked rather fierce.

But Yu Dingding calmly smiled: "I’m simply stating the truth, no need to lie!"

Ye Chen turned livid with anger, Sister Wu also realized she had misunderstood earlier, and quickly excused herself to cook for them.

As soon as Sister Wu left, Ye Chen’s words became blunt: "Yu Dingding, which employer would spend money without getting things done?"
