Chapter 5466: Chapter 5466: The Tip of the Needle

This was about invoking Staff Officer Du to deter Madam Li.

Madam Li, unable to maintain her demeanor in front of Old Madam from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, generally held a high posture in front of these younger people like Xia Jinyuan, and because of her relationship with Madam Xiao, she always took it upon herself to lecture Xia Jinyuan as an elder.

Unfortunately, Xia Jinyuan was not someone easy to provoke, and Madam Li, maintaining the elder’s stance, had never succeeded; she often ended up as irritated as a hedgehog.

"Little Six, you truly can’t recognize good intentions!" Fuming, Madam Li’s eyes turned cold and fierce as she bit out her words, "I am also kindly reminding you of what kind of distinguished family the Xia family is, how can you allow such a girl with ill intentions to tarnish your family’s threshold? Your father and your grandparents would never agree! Could it be that for her sake, you would turn against your own family?"

Seeing that she could not persuade Xia Jinyuan, Madam Li had no choice but to invoke the Xia family elders.

Um, her scheming continued.

Ye Jian, who had been listening all along, now actually felt sorry for Madam Li. A quite shrewd lady, who had initially impressed her enough to be cautious around her, especially since in her past life she was Ye Ying’s mother-in-law.

However, as time went on, she discovered that although Madam Li was formidable, she was not the kind of formidable character that could handle everything perfectly.

It also makes sense that if Madam Li had been formidable in her past life, she wouldn’t have been used by Ye Ying to trouble her by exploiting her family background.

Xia Jinyuan didn’t want to waste any more time on Madam Li, and said with a light smile, "Then thank you for the reminder, Madam Li. Our Xia family all likes my girlfriend. The elevator has arrived, Madam Li and Miss Du please go ahead." He did not want to share an elevator with them and preferred to let them go first and wait for the next one.

"Mom, let’s go," said Du Jiayi with a subdued look, looping her arm through Madam Li’s, "There’s plenty of time, no need to rush. Let Aunt Xiao speak for herself when the time comes."

Madam Li took a moment to calm herself, her gaze coldly sweeping over Ye Jian, who stood composed and cool by Xia Jinyuan’s side. Madam Li almost clenched her teeth to the point of breaking.

Born into a humble family not worthy of public attention, and yet... and yet to be regarded as precious treasures by the young masters of both the Xia and Qin families, truly infuriating. Her daughter... Thinking of how her own daughter was looked down upon by the Minister of Foreign Affairs’ family, Madam Li became so angry she felt dizzy.

Madam Li and Du Jiayi entered the elevator first, and in the moment before the doors closed, Du Jiayi fiercely glared at Ye Jian.

"That Ye Jian must be a reincarnated little vixen, why is everyone so on her side!" Inside the elevator, an irritated Du Jiayi stomped her foot, "No matter what we say, they just don’t listen."

"I really fear she is indeed a reincarnation of a vixen, otherwise how could each and every one of them be so utterly enchanted by her, she’s too capable." Madam Li’s eyes flashed with a cold and malicious light, "Don’t worry, such people will eventually meet disaster!"

Meet disaster? No, what she wanted was not for Ye Jian, that despicable girl, to simply meet disaster, but for her to never be able to recover again!",

The irritated Du Jiayi thought bitterly to herself, and after a while, she carefully asked, "Mom, do you think it’s possible Uncle really was killed by her?"

"I don’t know, it’s unclear whether this is a trap set by Li Ronghuan for us, we need to carefully investigate to find out," Madam Li was still cautious, and she advised Du Jiayi, "Don’t make any rash moves on your part, mom needs to check things out first. Don’t spook the quarry, understand?"
