Jiang Yan didn't give Zhao Xuanxuan much time to think, and instead asked her what she wanted to see Ye Xinghe about.

Zhao Xuanxuan sighed softly and lowered her head, saying:

“Xinghe has ignored me ever since the farewell dinner. She won’t answer my calls or reply to my texts. So I came to her house to find her.”

“Have you noticed that Xinghe has been acting a bit strange lately? Her personality seems completely different from before.” Jiang Yan put her arms around Zhao Xuanxuan’s shoulders as they walked side by side. “Like what happened at my shop the other day, it wasn’t like Xinghe at all.”

Zhao Xuanxuan continued walking forward dejectedly, and she also felt that Ye Xinghe's emotions and personality had changed a lot.

But she couldn't believe that Ye Xinghe would break off their four-year friendship over this matter, without even giving her a chance to explain.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Yan continued to embellish the story:

“You’ve known Zhang Chi for over three years, so you definitely know him better than any of us. Besides, what happened at the farewell dinner was too sudden. You should listen to Zhang Chi’s explanation. I don’t know why Xinghe is ignoring you because of this, and good friends should advise reconciliation, not breakup!”

Jiang Yan became more and more excited as she spoke, appearing righteous and completely concerned for her sisters.

Zhao Xuanxuan was at her wits' end. Zhang Chi had been contacting her for the past few days, and she didn't know what to do, so she suggested that they both calm down first.

During her four years of university, she was closest to Ye Xinghe. She wanted to hear her good friend's advice, but Ye Xinghe ignored her.

Having lost two close people at once, she now feels isolated and helpless, like a kite with a broken string, drifting in the wind, with no one to rely on.

Jiang Yan, who seemed to see through her thoughts, pretended to be concerned and said, "Don't be sad, you still have me. Let me treat you to strawberry cake."

Ye Xinghe sneered at her phone screen, her eyes filled with disdain. She had seen everything that had just happened at her front door through the security camera.

She thought to herself: Zhao Xuanxuan, you'd better use your brain!

Ye Xinghe had been deliberately ignoring her these past few days, hoping she could calmly reflect on her relationship with Zhang Chi and think things through, rather than breaking up with him because she caused Zhao Xuanxuan to break up with him.

Zhao Xuanxuan has sent her many messages these days, mostly apologizing.

Ye Xinghe found it annoying. It wasn't a matter of right or wrong; she just wanted Zhao Xuanxuan to have the most basic ability to think independently.

She sent Zhao Xuanxuan a message: "Don't you have anything else to say besides apologizing?"

A short while later, the other party replied: "Yes. I've discovered something wrong with Jiang Yan."

Ye Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhao Xuanxuan is finally starting to use her brain."

Then another message came in:

“I saw her today, and she actually told me that Ye Shuang asked her to frame you! How is that possible! Ye Shuang is family to you.”

After reading this message, Ye Xinghe felt her blood pressure rise!

She was shopping at the supermarket with her mother when she angrily clenched her fists and slammed them against the shopping cart handles several times.

What an idiot! He clearly hasn't understood the wickedness of human nature! He's never experienced the harsh realities of society!

She calmed down for a while before replying to Zhao Xuanxuan:

Come to my house at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

It seems impossible for Zhao Xuanxuan to figure it out on her own; we must give her a helping hand.

"Mom, let's buy a few more pig brains. I'm inviting Xuanxuan over tomorrow, and she needs to eat them now."

As evening fell, Mu Jinyue and the maid were busy in the kitchen, while Ye Xinghe kept her mother company and talked with her.

Just then, the butler, Uncle Fu, cried out in alarm from outside.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Please sit down. Should I call the Second Young Master?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Xinghe quickly ran from the kitchen to the living room.

They saw Ye Xingyu with one arm draped over Chu Mofan's shoulder, the other arm resting on a mop handle, and one foot on the ground.

"No, Uncle Fu. I just twisted my ankle by accident."

Ye Xinghe walked up and saw that her older brother's left foot was bare, and his ankle and instep were swollen so badly that he couldn't even fit into a sock, let alone a shoe.

"Brother, what happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

Ye Xingyu glanced at her and comforted her, "This afternoon, when I was moving materials, I was on that ladder, and a colleague accidentally scraped against it and I fell. Don't worry, it's just a sprained ankle, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Which colleague?" Ye Xinghe asked sharply, glaring at Chu Mofan beside her with a murderous look in her eyes.

Ye Xingyu was amused by this remark. "Why are you asking which colleague? Are you trying to avenge your brother?"

Mu Jinyue, who had been cooking in the kitchen, heard the commotion outside and came over. When she saw Ye Xingyu's feet, she immediately tried to call Ye Xingchen.

"Mom, don't disturb Xingchen," Ye Xingyu hurriedly interrupted. "He needs to concentrate on his work, don't distract him. My injury is nothing."

Mu Jinyue looked on with heartache, but also felt that Ye Xingyu's words made sense.

She instructed Ye Xinghe to send a message to her second brother, telling him that her eldest brother had sprained his ankle and to bring back some medicine. She also instructed Uncle Fu to buy a wheelchair.

Once everything was arranged, Mu Jinyue noticed Chu Mofan standing to the side.

"Mofan, thank you for bringing Xingyu back. Why don't you stay for dinner later?"

Ye Xinghe was about to retort when Chu Mofan spoke first: "No need, Auntie. I'll drop Xingyu off and then I won't bother you any longer." With that, he walked towards the door.

Mu Jinyue gestured for Ye Xinghe to see him off. Ye Xinghe, standing beside her, seemed not to see her, remaining motionless, thinking to herself: If he can walk, I'm not Ye!

As a result, Chu Mofan had just reached the door and changed his shoes when he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Xingyu, you probably won't be able to go to work for a while because of your foot. The boss urgently needs that document, so please finish your part as soon as possible. I'll come back to pick it up later tonight."

"Then why did you bother coming all this way?" Mu Jinyue stepped forward and took the briefcase from Chu Mofan's hand. "You can stay here and have dinner with us tonight. You and Xingyu can just stay here and do your work. I'll need your help to take Xingyu and Juanjuan home tonight."

Hearing Ye's mother's explanation, Chu Mofan could no longer refuse. He said he was sorry for the trouble, and took off his shoes and returned to the living room.

Ye Xinghe felt that it was a waste of his talent not to be an actor.

She firmly believed that her brother's injury today was no accident! How did Chu Mofan know that they would be having dinner at home tonight? Did her brother tell her while he was at work?

In short, no matter what, Chu Mofan definitely didn't come here with anything good in mind!

Ye Xinghe said sarcastically, "Big brother, although I can't avenge you, if this person deliberately knocked you down, I will 'bless' him day and night, and he will surely die a horrible death!"
