When visitors came, Lin Mengjiao would always grant permission before allowing them into the villa.
This time, not only did Lin Mengjiao interrupt herself twice, but she also directly invited Jiang Xue in.
This made Chen Jie suspicious.
However, it was too late to do anything about it.
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Jiang Xue's surging emotions finally calmed down.
After a brief conversation with Wang Xiaoyan, it turned out Jiang Xue's purpose was to say a simple goodbye.
She hadn't intended to disturb Wang Xiaoyan and Chen Jie's private time, but Wang Fa had reminded her to do so.
Chen Jie couldn't help but frown. Wang Fa seemed indifferent to his marriage with Wang Xiaoyan, but he had been subtly obstructing it.
"Jiang Xue, why don't you stay here tonight!" Wang Xiaoyan suggested. "I have something I want to talk to you about privately."
"Oh, won't this disturb you?" Jiang Xue asked awkwardly.
"It's nothing, don't overthink it," Wang Xiaoyan said with a blush.
Jiang Xue's expression showed understanding; her reaction indicated there was indeed something.
After a moment's thought, she agreed.
That night, the two women slept in the same room.
Wang Xiaoyan's delicate body lay on the bed, leisurely swinging her slender legs.
Suddenly, she pulled up the quilt, covering herself and Jiang Xue.
"Xiaoyan, what are you doing?" Jiang Xue exclaimed softly.
"Hehe, I won't eat you," Wang Xiaoyan replied.
Jiang Xue's face flushed with embarrassment.
With their bodies pressed together, she felt a sense of unease.
"Jiang Xue, there's something I need to ask of you!" Wang Xiaoyan said gravely from under the quilt.
"What is it?" Jiang Xue asked, puzzled.
"I always feel that Yang Siqing and Zhang Xinyan don't really want Chen Jie's money; perhaps they have ill intentions towards him!" Wang Xiaoyan said.
"What?"
Jiang Xue immediately shook her head. "Xiaoyan, you're overthinking it! No matter how outstanding Chen Jie is, he already has you. How could any other woman approach him?"
"Heh, you never know. What outstanding man doesn't women like? I've heard plenty of stories about women fighting over men," Wang Xiaoyan said.
Jiang Xue scoffed. "Him? Having several young ladies vying for him? I don't believe it! He's more likely to worry about you being snatched away!"
"What? Chen Jie is so outstanding, and you're not the least bit tempted?" Wang Xiaoyan said with a half-smile.
"I..." Jiang Xue was suddenly stunned.
After a pause, she quickly exclaimed, "No, impossible! How could I possibly be interested in such a bumpkin? Xiaoyan, don't misunderstand! I can't stand him!"
"Don't get worked up. I don't allow others to approach Chen Jie, but that doesn't include you!" Wang Xiaoyan comforted her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue became even more agitated. "I'm not worked up; I just don't want to be misunderstood. You, you can't think like that."
"Alright, alright, I won't bring it up again."
"Jiang Xue, while I'm away, please keep an eye on Chen Jie for me and prevent those buzzing flies from getting close to him," Wang Xiaoyan said.
"Okay, okay, I promise!" Jiang Xue said helplessly.
The next morning, Lin Mengjiao went upstairs to inform Chen Jie that Wang Fa had arrived.
He Chuan accompanied Wang Fa.
"Miss, it's time for us to go!" He Chuan said.
Wang Xiaoyan tidied her disheveled hair and ran to Chen Jie, grasping his hands.
"Chen Jie, I'll come back to see you when I have time. You should visit me in the provincial capital often, okay?" Wang Xiaoyan said reluctantly.
"Don't worry, I can see you anytime," Chen Jie replied.
Wang Fa's face darkened.
This girl truly disregarded her father's reputation and was being intimate with Chen Jie.
He felt as though he had raised her for nothing.
After a long sigh, Wang Fa resigned himself to the situation.
"Jiang Xue, when you have time, come to the provincial capital with Chen Jie and help me keep an eye on the women buzzing around him, understand?"
Wang Xiaoyan said to Jiang Xue again.
"Understood, I'll help you watch him," Jiang Xue replied.
"Well then, we're leaving."
Wang Xiaoyan looked back at Chen Jie with reluctance, taking one step at a time.
After they left, Jiang Xue also got into her sports car and departed from Chen Jie's place.
She was now a company CEO and was gradually adapting to her role as president. She had many things to manage daily and couldn't constantly keep an eye on Chen Jie.
The villa's entrance suddenly felt desolate.
Chen Jie's heart sank.
In the center of Pingcheng, Yin Chuji, led by two subordinates, arrived at the door of a rented room in a residential complex.
"Is this where my Yin family's old acquaintance lives? It's worse than a dog kennel!"
Yin Chuji's expression turned cold as he kicked the door open.
Inside, there was only a living room and a bedroom.
The room was in disarray, with women's undergarments strewn everywhere.
Yin Manman lay on the bed like a lifeless doll, her eyes vacant.
"Who are you?" Yin Manman turned her head, looking at Yin Chuji who had barged in.
"You are Yin Manman?" Yin Chuji asked.
"Yes, I am. Who are you?" Seeing Yin Chuji's handsome appearance and imposing presence, Yin Manman quickly sat up.
A foul odor wafted into Yin Chuji's nostrils, causing him to frown and cover his nose and mouth.
"Haven't you bathed in days? Did you even flush the toilet?"
Yin Chuji, suppressing his discomfort, said to Yin Manman, "I am your half-brother, Yin Chuji. I've returned to take you back to the provincial capital as instructed by our father, to enjoy life!"
"Ah? My brother? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yin Manman was bewildered.
After some questioning, she finally confirmed that Yin Chuji had indeed come for her.
It turned out her father, whom she believed to be dead, was still alive. He had faked a death certificate to escape her mother!
After all these years, her father's conscience had kicked in, and he was finally going to acknowledge her as his daughter.
Moreover, the influence of the Yin family in the provincial capital was far greater than that of the Wang family!
Upon hearing this news, Yin Manman not only didn't blame her father for abandoning her but became excited.
"Hahaha... Chen Jie, let's see if you have the right to be arrogant in front of me anymore!" Yin Manman sneered.
Yin Chuji was startled. "You know Chen Jie too?"
Yin Manman quickly recounted the events concerning Chen Jie, inevitably expressing her resentment towards him.
"Excellent! Not only did he disrespect me, but he also scared my sister into not daring to leave her house for days. Chen Jie, I originally planned to return to the provincial capital today and win over Wang Xiaoyan. Now, I've changed my mind! I'll stay in Pingcheng for two more days. You brought this upon yourself!"
Yin Chuji sneered, then suddenly took out a card and handed it to Yin Manman. "Manman, Father asked me to give you this. There's one hundred million in it. Spend it as you wish. I'll take revenge for you!"
At noon, Zhou Wei visited Chen Jie again.
After several days of development, Chen Jie's protective talismans had truly made a name for themselves in Pingcheng.
Orders were pouring in.
This time, Chen Jie needed to produce a large batch of protective talismans.
