A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1400 - 276: Husband and Wife Turn Against Each Other, Guilty Conscience (Part 2)

Before Allen could continue babbling, Yun Ya directly hung up the video call, turned, and looked at Yan Song. Yan Song calmly walked to the side to make a call and then returned saying, "I’m taking this person, Yun Ya, you should get some rest early."

Yun Ya nodded, "Okay."

Yan Song left with the person, and Mingyue came over to ask, "Miss, isn’t this person...?"

Yun Ya sneered, "That’s right, this mark is the insignia of a member of the Bauhinia Society. The person is a professional assassin and is likely from the same organization as those assassins Lu Xiane knew. Otherwise, with Pei Ying’s capabilities, how could she afford such assassins?"

Mingyue said, "What kind of existence is this Bauhinia Society, raising a group of assassins but not relying on this business? What exactly do they intend to do?"

Yun Ya had already guessed a little, "Like a leaky house, the rainwater slowly seeps in, then grows mold, corrodes the bricks and tiles. Over time, bugs begin to infest, and a storm is enough to bring a sturdy house crashing down."

"The other side has quite an ambitious agenda," Yun Ya mocked with a smile.

Mingyue said, "Then, Miss, what should we do?"

"Brother Yan should already be aware; I don’t know how he will act." Yun Ya clenched her fist, feeling a bit uneasy.

"How is it going with Lin Tao?"

Mingyue said, "No news has come yet, but in this case, no news is good news."

Yun Ya nodded, "Lin Tao is an excellent international detective. Years ago, his girlfriend went to Africa for aid but was kidnapped and cruelly assaulted by local terrorists. Those people were actually impersonators from the Bauhinia Society. Over the years, Lin Tao’s only wish is to avenge his girlfriend and prevent such harm to innocent people again. His hatred towards the Bauhinia Society is deep; sometimes, the power of hatred can unleash a person’s potential. She chose to believe in Lin Tao.

"He will surely succeed."

Lying in bed at night, Yun Ya couldn’t fall asleep. She sat up and called Uncle Chang. Uncle Chang was a bit surprised to receive a call from Yun Ya so late, thinking something was wrong, "Miss, what’s the matter?"

Yun Ya pursed her lips, "Uncle Chang, do you know anything about my grandmother?"

Uncle Chang was startled for a moment, then replied, "When I first came to the Ji Family, the Madam had already passed away. I heard she died of difficult labor while giving birth to Miss... Specifically, I don’t know."

Yun Ya stood by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and said faintly, "I see." She was about to hang up the call when...

Uncle Chang suddenly said from the other end of the line, "Miss, hold on."

Yun Ya’s finger paused on the phone before hearing Uncle Chang say, "I once heard the old sir mention that the Madam was taken back by relatives, but not long after, she returned by herself and even brought back an inheritance, which later became the start-up capital for the sir’s business. I don’t know if this information is useful to you, Miss, but that’s all I know."

Yun Ya knew that her grandmother was an orphan. She recalled Yun Shu’s past words, which differed from Uncle Chang’s account. Her grandmother was sought out by relatives back then but didn’t want to return home, which fulfilled Yun Shu yet Yun Shu thought she’d live like a wealthy heiress. Reality gave her a strong slap in the face because the real Mu Qingci was a family’s illegitimate daughter who was reclaimed due to having no children. The mistress became resentful and naturally beat and scolded Yun Shu, the imposter heiress. Yun Shu, we could say, suffered in place of her grandmother, discovering the secret of the Jade Pendant in the process, dreaming of wealth and immortality.

Yun Ya always felt that her grandmother’s background was full of mystery. In hindsight, things weren’t as simple as they seemed; everything was Yun Shu’s one-sided interpretation. The specifics required careful investigation.

She only needed to start investigating from Mu Ziling’s side.

Early the next morning, the family gathered in the main hall of the front courtyard. Aside from Yan Nanxiao, who was too embarrassed to show herself, still lying in bed, and the ever-busy Yan Nanmo, the Yan Family members were mostly present.

In such situations, Yun Ya had no right to speak. After all, she hasn’t officially married into the Yan Family, so she didn’t go over but stayed in her room practicing calligraphy.

"There’s still no news from Elder Sister-in-law. I deeply regret the danger she might encounter, but the family cannot go a single day without a head. I invited everyone today to ask for recommendations for a new head of the family. Of course, this would only be temporary; once Elder Sister-in-law returns, the headship is still hers." Yin Suhua surveyed everyone slowly as she spoke.

She couldn’t be more pleased inwardly, feeling proud and triumphant. She knew Lu Yuke would never return, not in this lifetime. Competing with her, huh~?

Pei Ying spun her prayer beads, speaking in a light tone, "Third Sister-in-law has a point. Before Elder Sister-in-law returns, the household needs a new head. Third Sister-in-law is the eldest in rank here and has managed the family excellently over the years, comparable to Elder Sister-in-law. I believe the Yan Family will only flourish under her leadership."

This was a public show of support for Yin Suhua. Yin Suhua smiled at Pei Ying. Was this younger sister-in-law pledging allegiance to her?

Yi Suchen remained silent, but Yin Suhua glared at her, "Second brother’s wife, what do you say?" Her gaze was laced with threat.

Yi Suchen said blandly, "I choose you, Mom."

Yin Suhua laughed.

Zhuang Xiyue sipped tea, and Yin Suhua glanced toward her with anticipation. In this family, Zhuang Xiyue had the most influence. Her opinion was crucial.
