”Madam Jiang, how do you know this place?” Ye Yanxi was very surprised that Yan Zhen was able to find her way here, hence she naturally neglected many other things.

As soon as Yan Zhen and Ye Junze's eyes met, Ye Junze immediately grabbed Ye Yan Xi's arm, ”Xiaoxi, you go in first.”

Ye Yan Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression, ”Dad, what's wrong?”

Seeing the rarely seen look of panic on Ye Junze's face, he felt that his reaction was too strange.

”If I tell you to go in, then go in.” Ye Junze's expression didn't seem good.

Although Ye Yanxi felt that Ye Junze's reaction was suspicious, Yan Zhen had come to look for her. It wouldn't be good to go in like this, ”Dad, I …”

Just as she thought this, Yan Zhen suddenly interrupted her, ”Lil 'Ye, what did you call him just now?”

Yan Zhen was obviously referring to Ye Junze.

He didn't know whether it was a misconception of Ye Yan Xi's, but he felt that when Yan Zhen said this, Ye Junze had used a lot of force to grab her arm. Ye Junze's summer clothes were already thin, but now she felt a little bit of pain.

Ye Yan Xi frowned, she didn't know why, but she still introduced her to Yan Zhen: ”Lady Jiang, this is my father, Ye Junze, Dad, and this is Lady Jiang. You guys … Do you know him? ”

Judging from Ye Junze's strange reaction and Yan Zhen's expression, Ye Yanxi felt that this was very possible, even though she didn't think that the two of them seemed to have interacted at all.

”No, I don't!” Ye Junze quickly said.

This made him even more suspicious, as if he was in a hurry to get rid of the connection.

Ye Junze, this surname is rarely seen. When I first heard it, I thought it was you, but this world is so vast, how could there be such a coincidence? Yan Zhen smiled at Ye Junze, ”It has been a long time since we last met.”

Yan Zhen's words did not surprise Ye Yanxi. From the looks of it, Ye Junze did indeed know Yan Zhen. However, after they met, why was Ye Junze's expression so panicked, as though she was a bit uneasy.

She couldn't help but cry out in pain when she felt Ye Junze's fingers applied more pressure on her arm. ”Dad, it hurts!”

Then, Ye Junze immediately let go of Ye Yan Xi's arm, turned his head and looked at her with concern, ”Does it hurt? It's my bad, I hurt you. ”

Ye Yanxi looked at Ye Junze's worried expression, and smiled as she comforted him, ”Dad, everything's alright. Are you okay?”

”I'm fine.” Ye Yan Xi faced Ye Yan Xi's clear eyes with a trace of curiosity. She involuntarily tilted her head, not wanting to let her see that she was in a bad mood.

”It's good that you're fine.” Although Ye Yan Xi said this, she was still a bit worried.

”Ye Junze, I came here today to look for Lil 'Ye. I think you should know why I'm here, right?” Yan Zhen asked in a questioning tone.

Although Ye Junze tried his best to avoid Yan Zhen's gaze, he finally opened his mouth after a moment of silence, ”Let's talk.”

”Alright.”

Initially, Ye Yan Xi was quite happy to be back, but she didn't expect Yan Jin to be back. She watched the two of them go upstairs to her study and even closed the door behind them, as if she didn't want anyone to disturb them.

Only Ye Yan and Ye Ming Hao were left downstairs.

The study interior decoration is dull, sound insulation effect is better.

Ye Junze invited Yan Zhen to a table in the study, and then she sat down opposite her. She awkwardly poured a cup of tea and said, ”There is no black tea here that you like. Only Long Jing is here.”

Compared to Ye Junze's panic, Yan Zhen was much calmer. She took a sip of the tea that Ye Junze handed to her and then looked up at him.

At this moment, Ye Junze felt an indescribable sense of oppression from Yan Zhen's gaze, just like … Twenty years ago.

At that time, he had just graduated. He was just an ignorant kid, and now, he was already middle-aged.

”Ye Junze, it's been twenty years since we last met, right?” Yan Zhen smiled. Her gaze was indifferent, and her every movement was dignified, exuding an invisible pressure.

Ye Junze nodded, ”Yes, it's been more than 20 years.”

”At that time, you were not together with Chang Zhen, but now … ”You can be considered to have a successful family, with both girls and children. It really makes people envious.”

Ye Junze remained silent and didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was a bit absent-minded.

”It's just that I didn't expect that the person who would adopt Ye Yanxi would be you.” Yan Zhen did not say much and directly stated her purpose of coming here. ”When you adopted her, did you already know that she was a real child?”

Ye Junze still didn't say anything, only lowering his head slightly. No one knew what he was thinking, but upon hearing this, his fingers couldn't help but tighten a bit.

”But what I want to know is something else.” Yan Zhen's voice was calm as she stared at Ye Junze, ”Sixteen years ago, when Chang Zhen and He Zhenhua went to the orphanage, they mistook a child, and you …” It was just the same day that the two of them accidentally took each other away. Was this a coincidence? ”

After being questioned by Yan Zhen, Ye Junze lowered his head even more, as if he was a child who did something wrong.

In the silence, Yan Zhen was the first to get angry.

With a dark face and a hint of anger, he asked, ”Let me ask you, were you the one who did this?” ”When he and He Zhenhua went to the orphanage, they carried the wrong child.”

Finally, when Ye Junze heard this, he reacted and immediately raised his head to deny, ”No no, I've never done this before, I …”

”What's wrong with you?” Yan Zhen asked aggressively.

Even though many years had passed, the truth would eventually come out. Facing Yan Zhen's questioning, Ye Junze's intuition couldn't suppress it any longer.
