Chapter 38 You Biased Jerk

However, Ye Sijue's smile faded gradually.

Having intimate contact with a girl from an ordinary background was not something to rejoice over. He was still considering if he should marry her.

In fact, he might not even be interested in her!

Just when Ye Sijue was silently debating about it, Luo Yi patted his shoulder and asked, "What about you, Jue'er Why don't we ask her out to meet her?"

"That's lame. I refuse to meet her," rejected Ye Sijue expressionlessly.

Not surprised by Ye Sijue's reaction, Qin Ranfeng teased, "Young Master Ye's only interested in work. It'll be a miracle if he starts developing an interest in women. But isn't your mother forcing you to go on blind dates? She's waiting to have a grandchild. Are you really that not interested in women?"

"Yes," replied Ye Sijue firmly. "Women are so troublesome. Amongst the four of us, you're the only person free enough to be interested in them."

「Women meant trouble.」

His parent's marriage was a complete disaster—one that even resulted in his father's death.

Hence, he was reluctant to marry. In fact, he was afraid of it.

"Who says that I'm the only person free enough?" Qin Ranfeng did not notice the grim expression on Ye Sijue's face. Pointing at Jun Haoxuan, who was drinking gloomily, he said, "Didn't this dude become depressed because he's been looking for a woman?"

Luo Yi denied, "Haoxuan's not like you. He's trying to find his savior, so don't you drag him down with you."

Qin Ranfeng scoffed, "Look at his lifeless gaze and gloomy look. Is he just looking for his savior? Who'd believe that?"

Ye Sijue glanced at Jun Haoxuan, who looked dazed. Then, he snatched Jun Haoxuan's glass away.

"Stop drinking! How much have you had already?"

Jun Haoxuan frowned. However, as Ye Sijue was the one who robbed him of his alcohol glass, he could not snatch it back. Hence, he merely sat there silently.

Luo Yi asked curiously, "It's already been half a month. Why haven't you found the girl who saved you when you were overseas?"

Qin Ranfeng chimed in and teased, "If even you can't find her, do you think that she's a ghost? Did you get saved by a female ghost?"

Ye Sijue immediately frowned.

He had been investigating Mu Xia for almost a week but discovered nothing. But, she was definitely a human being, not a ghost.

He chided coldly, "Don't make such a lame joke!"

When Qin Ranfeng noticed Ye Sijue's serious expression, he shrugged and protested indignantly, "I'm just joking! Why are you overreacting? You only defend Haoxuan, you biased jerk!"

Ignoring Qin Ranfeng, Ye Sijue lowered his head and took a sip. A gloomy feeling surfaced within him.

「What's the girl's backstory?」

Meanwhile, in the Situ residence, Mu Xia finally received the information about Mu Xinyue's financial assets sent by her subordinate.

Mu Xinyue's assets amounted up to three billion. Furthermore, most of them were deposited in secret accounts overseas. The fixed assets overseas were all managed by the same man.

Staring at the computer screen, Mu Xia narrowed her eyes.

If she was not wrong, Situ Hai probably did not know about all those money.

In addition to Situ Hai's poor management, most of the Mu's family money most likely found its way into Mu Xinyue's pockets.

「Looks like the real owner of Situ Group isn't Hai, but Xinyue. This is an interesting discovery…」

Just when Mu Xia was reviewing the email attentively, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
