Chapter 259: Chapter 259: A Woman with Ulterior Motives

Mu Yiliang chuckled softly, but her expression remained calm.

"He almost succeeded back then. I only knew he was still alive; I didn’t expect him to be with you."

Qiao Yebai observed her expression and confirmed once again that she had no feelings for Ye Moran anymore.

So, where did her emotions finally fall?

Qiao Yebai withdrew his probing gaze, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "I’m always happy to lend a hand when others are in trouble."

Mu Yiliang was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh.

Her brother acted in a way very different from Yan Sijue and Ye Moran.

Yan Sijue disdained the mind game of winning people’s hearts; he always focused on interests, liked to use the least effort to achieve the most, and leveraged power. In short, he exchanged the smallest cost for the greatest benefit, completely embodying the nature of a businessman.

Ye Moran was extremely patient, and having managed to stay low-key under Nie Qing for many years back then, he naturally didn’t mind temporarily working under Qiao Yebai.

But Qiao Yebai played with people’s hearts, dealing with human nature.

The human heart is the hardest to grasp, but once calculated accurately, it is unbeatable.

Xiaoze has been very, very unhappy these past few days.

Because his own mother hasn’t come to see him for many days, Xiaoze tried to contact her many times but received no response.

Yet Daddy said emphatically that mommy wouldn’t be in danger. If so, why didn’t mommy come to see him?

Thinking of this, Xiaoze felt both annoyed and sad.

What made him even angrier was the woman in front of him—

Chen Yayan sat opposite him, smiling, her slender hands painted with bright nail polish, peeling an apple.

"Xiaoze, have a piece," she said with a smile, handing him the peeled apple.

Xiaoze looked with disgust: "I don’t want it!"

Who knows if the nail polish on this woman’s hands has any chemicals, and whether she washed her hands clean.

Chen Yayan’s expression stiffened slightly.

But then she put on a friendly demeanor again: "What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you."

"Uncle Li knows what I like, no need for you to worry." Xiaoze rolled his eyes.

As Chen Yayan kept hitting a wall, her smiling face became hard to maintain.

She never expected that the child she took a fancy to at first glance, who agreed to star in her drama but ended up tricking her, was Yan Sijue’s son!

Although she didn’t know who the child’s mother was, he was undoubtedly Yan Sijue’s son, and Chen Yayan saw clearly that Yan Sijue valued this son greatly.

So, if she wanted to marry into the Yan Family, she must please this child.

But once she marries in, she will be this child’s stepmother, and how to handle him will be up to her.

Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Yayan’s eyes.

Xiaoze naturally didn’t know what schemes the woman in front of him was planning; he just felt very, very unhappy!

His mommy disappeared, yet a scheming woman was about to move in... Even after Daddy explained the intention behind this, he was still very unhappy!

Daddy was still in rehab, able to visit him only once every two or three days, and this woman used the pretense of taking care of him to move in openly... Humph!

He wouldn’t mess with Daddy’s plan, but he could still play a little prank on this woman...

After all, he was just a child. Xiaoze thought of some mischievous scenarios and couldn’t help but show a wicked smile.
