"When you called me, I had several subordinates around me..." the man said.

"Doyle Maren, you are truly disappointing me more and more." Ye Mingjue looked at the man and said.

Dol Marron is now wondering if he has been too relaxed over the past two years, to the point where even his subordinates might be betraying him.

“You check it out. After you’ve investigated, hand the person over to me. If you can’t find anything, then I’ll settle this with you myself.” Wrongdoings have their source, and even if he didn't commit this act, he was the one who caused it. Someone has to take responsibility for this.

"Don't worry, I'll look into this as soon as possible!" Dale Maren said eagerly.

After getting past that topic, the two of them started discussing some other trivial matters. However, An Xiaonuan, whom he thought was resting, felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Miss An, how could you possibly like this style of clothing? It truly looks..." The noblewoman looked at An Xiaonuan with disdain, completely ignoring the fact that An Xiaonuan was currently reeking like a frying pan.

It's just too much! She hasn't even been here for a minute, her bottom barely had time to warm the seat, when this woman started flipping and flopping all over her like a pancake.

And isn't a noblewoman the most particular about etiquette? Why is she so outspoken!

An Xiaonuan looked at this woman, thinking secretly in her heart, but she couldn't refute it, after all, what she said was true.

It's all that old man's fault, making her wear this to come here. Now she's being gawked at by everyone like a monkey! It's so infuriating!

The woman spoke a few more words, then covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice: “Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Ximen Qian, you can call me Mrs. Ximen.”

Xi Men Qian stretched out her hand, politely looking at An Xiaonuan with a smile.

An Xiaonuan grasped her hand, just about to introduce herself, when she said, “Our refreshments have arrived. Let’s sit down and chat.”

There was no intention of letting An Xiaonuan speak at all.

An Xiaonuan rubbed the hand that had shaken hands with Xi Menqian against her clothes, thinking to herself, "I'll never come here again. What kind of people are these!"

"Are you Mrs. Ye?" Xi Men Qian actually knew An Xiaonuan was the wife of Ye Mingjue, but looking at her current appearance, she couldn't help but be doubtful. Could that man's taste be so... unique?

This young woman still had some dust on her face, and there was some grime in her hair. Her clothes looked cheap and shabby, all dusty and gray. She didn't look like a lady at all, more like a maid.

Just now, An Xiaonuan escaped the explosion under Ye Mingjue's protection. Although she managed to escape, her body was still covered in dust. Her gray sportswear was also stained and dirty, which became Xi Men Qianxi's reason for mocking her.

If she knew, she would tell that woman loudly that this one-time-wear dress cost her thousands of dollars!

Unfortunately, she didn't know that, so she could only helplessly endure Ximen Qian's strange gaze.

"Yes, you know me?" An Xiaonuan looked at Ximen Qian and asked.

"I don't know you, but I know he once bought a necklace worth one billion. How come I haven't seen you wearing it?" Ximen Qian looked at An Xiaonuan's clean neck and asked.

"What? One hundred million?" An Xiaonuan couldn't believe that the necklace lying on her dressing table, covered in dust, was worth so much! It was sky-high!

Xi Men Qian looked at An Xiaonuan's surprised expression, her eyes revealing a look of "I told you so."

"It seems Mr. Ye hasn't told you? Then who is this necklace going to be given to?" Xi Menqian said.

"It's for me, but I didn't know it was so expensive. I just put it at home." An Xiaonuan said this with a bit of guilt towards the necklace. "I'm sorry, such an expensive necklace. Mom is sorry, I let you get dusty. When I go back this time, I will definitely treat you like a treasure and polish you every day until it shines!"

This expression, in Ximen Qian's eyes, just represented a lack of confidence.

It's really a shame she's so determined to put on a brave face, though I guess it makes sense. She's become the wife of Ye Mingjue after all, just a mistress. She probably doesn't care.

After all, Ye Mingjue is a person with a lot to offer...

A glint flashed in Ximen Qian's eyes, and then she looked at An Xiaonuan and said, "Madam Ye, I truly sympathize with you..." After finishing her sentence, her gaze towards An Xiaonuan held a hint of pity.

This is a pitiful woman, her husband bought a necklace behind her back and gave it to someone else, while she herself is wearing a set of clothes that cost thousands of dollars. Alas...

"Sympathize with me? No, Mrs. Ximen, I think your train of thought is a little strange!" An Xiaonuan looked at Ximen Qian puzzled.

"What does 'brain circuit' mean?" Ximen Qian, because she was bored and had learned many foreign languages, could communicate seamlessly with An Xiaonuan. However, she was completely clueless about these internet slang terms.

"Brain circuit is just the way you think." An Xiaonuan explained.

Actually, she didn't quite understand these internet slang terms. However, since she had a grasp of the language, she could guess the general meaning by thinking about them for a bit.

Then Xi Men Qian and An Xiaonuan surprisingly began to chat peacefully. However, neither of them felt sympathy for the other. Xi Men Qian found An Xiaonuan pitiful, while An Xiaonuan thought Xi Men Qian...

"What do you think of his wife?" Ye Mingjue asked An Xiaonuan after receiving her.

This is like asking a kindergarten child after school, "How do you think your teacher is?" Parents always worry that their children might be bullied at school.

An Xiaonuan thought for a moment, then said to Yemingjue, "I think there's something wrong here."

She pointed to her head.

Ye Mingjue smiled helplessly and asked, "What did you guys talk about? Why do you suddenly feel this way?"

Then An Xiaonuan told him about her conversation with Ximen Qian.

Night Mingjue felt a twinge of familiarity after hearing the name. Then, when they mentioned the necklace, a memory flashed through his mind.

He knew why Xi Men Qian was so against Nuan Nuan. Was it because he had snatched that woman's necklace back then?

It's no wonder he didn't remember this at all. He had a condition where he couldn't tell foreigners apart, thinking they all looked the same. He couldn't remember what Ximen Qian looked like and the incident happened so long ago that he almost forgot who she really was.

He pinched An Xiaonuan's chubby cheeks and said, "Just treat her as someone who doesn't have a brain. Don't bother with her. Anyway, we won't be coming here again in the future."

Everything that needed to be arranged has been arranged, so it shouldn't come again.

"Hmm." An Xiaonuan nodded, and the two people walked out holding hands.

Just as she walked to the door, An Xiaonuan's phone rang.
