A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1397 - 276: Husband and Wife Turn Against Each Other, Guilty Conscience (Part 2)

But Yun Ya felt she might have overthought it. Great-grandfather clearly knew her grandfather, so he would definitely also know her grandmother. If her grandmother and Brother Yan’s grandmother were sisters, this would mean they were direct relatives within three generations, so great-grandfather would not agree to her marrying Brother Yan. Therefore, she must be overthinking it.

Yun Ya wanted to ask more questions, but seeing her great-grandfather’s poor complexion, she held back.

Yan Nanxiao felt like a lump of anger was stuck in his chest. He, Yan Nanxiao, was the eldest grandson of the Yan Family’s main branch. Let’s not even talk about Yan Nanmo, but now even a little girl dared to step all over him. How did he end up living such a miserable life?

"Brother." A gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Yan Nanxiao turned his head to see someone standing not far away.

Delicately pretty, with the graceful and gentle beauty typical of a Jiangnan woman—Pei Xinyi.

Yan Nanxiao’s mood slightly calmed, but his tone wasn’t very pleasant: "What are you doing here?"

Pei Xinyi walked over with a smile: "I’m here specifically to wait for you, Brother."

Pei Xinyi was quite good-looking, the kind of delicate beauty that men like, easily arousing the protective instincts deep within them. Lust is a part of human nature. Yan Nanxiao stared at her face. Compared to Meng Shujing’s rigidity, this woman had more intoxicating charm.

Pei Xinyi noticed him watching her, and her cheeks reddened slightly, "Brother...."

Yan Nanxiao coughed and looked elsewhere, thinking to himself, this is his sister-in-law, where was his mind going.

"Why are you waiting for me?"

Pei Xinyi sighed: "I heard that Aunt has gone missing. How could such a thing happen in the Yan Family? It’s really terrifying." After speaking, she glanced around and lowered her voice: "There’s something... I don’t know if I should say it, it’s about Aunt’s disappearance."

Yan Nanxiao squinted his eyes, staring intently at her: "What did you say?"

Pei Xinyi said in a low voice: "That day, I wanted to visit Grandfather, and as I walked to the door, I got delayed by a phone call. I saw Aunt hurriedly entering Rongju Garden. She seemed really anxious at that time, so I thought something urgent had happened. But after a while, Ah Song and Yun Ya came out, and Aunt just never came out of Rongju Garden. I don’t know if Aunt’s disappearance is related to them. I just thought of giving you extra clues for finding Aunt sooner."

As expected, it was related to Yan Song and that woman. Yan Nanxiao clenched his fists tightly, filled with hatred, wishing he could rush to them right now and demand the person.

"Brother, you absolutely cannot be impulsive. You know what the third brother’s temperament is like—he’s always protective. Yun Ya is their chosen daughter-in-law. If you make things difficult for her, the third brother and Ah Song won’t let you off."

Not let him off? Ha, what could they do to him? Pei Xinyi’s words reminded him. Isn’t that brat precious to them? Then he would kidnap the girl, an eye for an eye, very fair.

Pei Xinyi saw the hatred in Yan Nanxiao’s eyes, and a glint flashed in hers: "I’ve said all I can, Brother, you mustn’t tell anyone it was me who told you. Otherwise, how can I live in this house as a weak woman, especially now that the Fourth Brother wants to divorce me, I really couldn’t survive...."

The sight of her almost crying softened Yan Nanxiao’s heart, and he promised earnestly: "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

"Brother, you’re so good." Pei Xinyi wiped her tears and smiled.

This smile made Yan Nanxiao pause, "Isn’t Fourth Brother good to you?"

Pei Xinyi’s face showed sorrow, truly evoking sympathy. At least Yan Nanxiao fell for it, silently cursing Fourth Brother for not knowing how to cherish his beautiful wife.

"It’s hard to explain, Brother, you’re busy, I’ll go first, remember not to tell anyone." With that, she turned and left.

Yan Nanxiao watched Pei Xinyi’s graceful figure as she left, lamenting how such a beauty was wasted with Fourth Brother, feeling for a moment a flutter in his heart. Then he thought of Lu Yuke, and his expression turned cold.

Lao San, since you are heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust.

Pei Xinyi wiped away nonexistent tears from her face, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. No wonder he was suppressed by Yan Nanmo, he was as stupid as a pig, so easily falling into the trap.

Pei Ying put down the Buddhist scripture she was reading and asked: "How did it go?"

Pei Xinyi replied with a smile: "Mom, don’t worry, Brother is not a smart person."

Pei Ying smiled with satisfaction.

Then her brow knitted in worry, and Pei Xinyi asked: "What are you still worried about?"

Pei Ying felt uneasy deep down, wondering how much Lu Yuke really knew about what happened back then? If she revealed it, it would be troublesome.
