After seeing off Zhang's parents safely, Jian Xi returned, only to hear Zhang Yaxuan recount everything that Si Yuhuan had just taken Zhang's father to discuss in private.
"It's a rarity that he didn't harm the old folks; I guess he's not rotten to the core." Jian Xi's tone was sarcastic.
Zhang Yaxuan, who was initially fuming, couldn't help but burst into laughter at her words.
"You really despise him."
"It's not disgust, it's fear—the fear of never wanting to get involved with him again, primarily because of how he snatched the wealth back using unknown tricks, putting Jian Group and me under immense pressure. I'm afraid of him. Who knows if one day he might just wipe out the entire Jian Family in a bad mood? Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine."
