Early in the morning.
Ye Nianchu received a phone call from Assistant Zhang while having breakfast. His tone sounded urgent. “Miss, there’s been an incident with the Xu family. It’s likely…”
“What happened?”
“The Xie family from M continent suddenly intervened and helped the Xu family. The Xie family has substantial assets, but their main market is no longer domestic. I don’t know how the Xu family got involved with them, but I’ve also received news that the Xie family is coming to A City soon.”
Ye Nianchu’s expression remained unchanged, but her eyes grew colder. “All previous plans are to be halted immediately. Find out who’s in charge of the Xie family and send me the information.”
Assistant Zhang was taken aback. “Halt everything? You’ve been preparing for so long…”
Ye Nianchu lightly tapped her cup, suppressing her impatience, and said indifferently, “It’s time to cut losses with a useless piece.”
Her grandfather used to say she wasn’t patient enough.
And he was right.
She intended to use this opportunity to trace the whereabouts of the Shadow Alliance, an outcome she had anticipated, but saying to stop the plans regarding the Xu family still bothered her.
The Xu family could rely on some forces, but they had someone who could.

A University has a long history and is one of the top institutions in the city. On the day of the anniversary celebration, it was bustling and lively.
“Chu Yao, did you see? Standing next to Professor Ye is our senior, Ye Nianchu.” A long-haired girl turned to her companion outside the auditorium.
“Born into a prestigious family, she’s the niece of Professor Ye, took over the family business at eighteen, and has stunning looks. I just want to say, ‘Sister, I can do it!’”
Xu Chu Yao glanced over and lowered her eyes. “Her background is indeed impressive.”
Her mother was the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and her grandfather was a once-renowned figure in the business world.
Even when they were in a dire situation, the Ye family was still behind them.
And she had always lived in the shadow of the other.
With the crisis in the Xu family resolved, Ye Nianchu’s efforts seemed wasted, and in the end, it must be hard to swallow. Besides, the person helping them was someone Ye Nianchu knew.
Thinking of this, Xu Chu Yao couldn’t help but smile.
Her companion didn’t notice the subtle change in her mood and continued, “Not only is her background impressive, but Ye Nianchu is also very capable. She graduated early last year with top grades in her major.”
“Hey, Chu Yao, why do I feel like you two have similar eyes? Is that the common trait of beautiful people?”
Xu Chu Yao gave a perfunctory smile and changed the subject. “Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The two turned and walked in opposite directions.

After attending the anniversary ceremony, Ye Nianchu left with her aunt Ye Jin, passing by the school’s scenic lake to get to the parking lot and office.
The man beside them was impeccably dressed, exuding charm, and glanced at Ye Nianchu several times while chatting with Ye Jin.
“Nian Nian, are you going back now?”
Ye Jin, in her forties but looking like she was in her thirties, had an air of elegance.
“Yeah, I have some things to do.”
“Alright, when you have time, come over for dinner at your aunt’s place. I’ll cook myself.”
Before she could finish, Shen Yan interrupted, “You’ll cook yourself? Or you’ll supervise me while I cook?”
Ye Jin shot him a glance and continued holding Ye Nianchu’s hand. “You just got back. Don’t spend all your time working at home; take some time to rest.”
“Aunt, I understand. Don’t worry.”
