“Slam——”

Wen Nuan placed a photo in front of Jian Yuncheng. She pointed at the woman in the photo and said to him, “Find this woman in the photo for me.”

Jian Yuncheng glanced at the old photo in front of him. He turned around to ask his mother: “Who is this?”

“She’s your second uncle’s ex-girlfriend!”

“Mother, it’s almost been thirty years. Even if we find her, it has been too long ago to do anything.” Jian Yuncheng explained.

“Well, I don’t care about that. Just find her for me first,” Wen Nuan said. She didn’t care about what Jian Yuncheng said.

Jian Shuxing stepped up to try and convince his wife: “Dear, even if we find the woman and even if she’s not married, you can’t let your brother-in-law become a scumbag!”

“My daughter was accused by his wife. Why should I care about him?”

Wen Nuan’s temper was getting the better of her.

When Wen Nuan saw that Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng weren’t doing anything, she huffed in anger: “Are you not willing to help me? Then I’ll go find someone else!”

Jian Yuncheng quickly responded: “No, no, I’ll get Huo Yu to look into this. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Wen Nuan replied. Only then did Wen Nuan leave the study.

After Wen Nuan left, Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng looked at each other.

Jian Shuxing told his son: “Your mother has been doing so much recently. Not only has she stayed up late checking the fund’s accounts, but she’s also been going out to one event after another.”

“Yeah, she’s been quite angry recently. Father, please work harder to appease and pacify her.”

“I can’t appease your mother’s anger. The only thing that will appease her is kicking He Yan out of the family.”

Jian Shuxing no longer wanted to call that woman his sister-in-law. Instead, he called her by her name.

He Yan was about to go crazy. She was being driven mad by Wen Nuan.

Initially, she thought the matters related to the fund would be over by now. However, Wen Nuan once again complained to Grandma Jian. She said that He Yan had to fill in the gaps in the fund’s accounts.

Furthermore, after Wen Nuan took over the fund, she didn’t stop there.

She investigated all the people who were involved. Then, she examined the accounts one by one. She made sure that everything was cleared up.

Finally, she declared that He Yan was responsible for all mismatches.

However, Wen Nuan refused to talk to He Yan about this. Instead, she went directly to Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian about this.

Grandpa Jian was the one who cared the most about these kinds of things. He won’t allow anyone in his family to do something that harmed the rest of the family.

And thus, He Yan was immediately called to the Old Jian Residence for questioning.

Now, in the Old Jian Residence, He Yan was faced with the questioning and interrogation of Grandpa and Grandma Jian. He Yan found that she couldn’t defend herself. And thus, she could only apologize for her mistakes.

“Father, mother, I know I made a mistake. I was wrong. I didn’t manage the fund well. I’m willing to accept any punishment.”

He Yan hurriedly admitted her mistake.

However, Grandpa Jian did not say anything. Grandma Jian had always been the one who was in charge of the charity fund. And thus, she should be the one to decide the punishment on this matter.

Grandma Jian asked He Yan: “Do you really know that you were wrong?”

“Mother, I really know that I’m wrong. I didn’t mean to do it. I’m not competent enough.”

It was a much lesser crime to say that you are not competent than to say that you knowingly committed a crime.

Grandma and Grandpa Jian would not forgive someone who knowingly committed a crime. That was a matter of attitude and not competence.

Grandma Jian let out a long sigh. He Yan had to be punished. However, she couldn’t punish her too much. She still had to consider her second son and her three grandchildren.

“Okay, firstly, you can’t interfere with the fund’s affairs in the future. Secondly, you have to fill in all the money that’s missing. Finally, you have to donate two hundred thousand dollars to the fund every month for one year.”

“Okay, okay.”

He Yan was incredibly frustrated and angry. However, she couldn’t do much.

When she looked up, she saw Wen Nuan standing there. Wen Nuan was seemingly unconcerned about the matter. Just looking at her made a fire burn in He Yan’s heart.

Wen Nuan! That hussy!

Wen Nuan also glanced at He Yan. The punishment given by Grandma Jian did anger did not lessen her anger.

In no way was this enough to appease her.
