Her feelings for Pei Xin were very complicated.

She truly wanted to watch Pei Xin grow and let Pei Xin have her own power.

However, the reason she helped Pei Xin was not because she felt sorry for her. Instead, she saw the value in Pei Xin and wanted to use Pei Xin to cause chaos in the capital.

In fact, she knew that Pei Xin wouldn’t be able to stay in Haicheng for long. The Lu family and the Pei family wouldn’t let Pei Xin stay in Haicheng forever.

She had investigated the preferential treatment Lu Huai gave Pei Xin. She knew that Lu Huai and Lu Li had a dispute because of Pei Xin.

She didn’t know that Pei Xin was so capable that she could cause conflict between the two brothers. Or rather, Lu Huai had done all of this on purpose.

Jiang Yan could tell that he was using Pei Xin as an excuse, but in fact, he had long wanted to find trouble with Lu Li.

His plan was also in line with her plan. She wanted to use Pei Xin to stir up conflict between the few big families in Beijing as well.

She genuinely helped Pei Xin, but it was also because she had her own motives.

Jiang Yan sighed, stood up, and left.

When she walked out of the cemetery, she was met with Li Ze, who was standing at the door.

“You followed me?” Jiang Yan frowned and looked at him unhappily.

“I have something to talk to you in private. Come with me.”

Jiang Yan didn’t refuse and sat in Li Ze’s car.

“I couldn’t understand why you were so dedicated to helping Pei Xin,” Li Ze said. “It wasn’t until I heard that you came to the Jiang family cemetery that 1 finally understood your true purpose. You want to use Pei Xin to stir up conflict among the four families in the capital, right?”

From the moment Li Ze appeared, Jiang Yan knew that Li Ze had already guessed her motive.

She removed her usual disguise and looked at Li Ze coldly. “Since you figured it out, why are you here asking me again?”

Li Ze’s face was cold. “Pei Xin trusted you, and this is how you’re treating her? She thinks that you’re doing it out of your own good will.”

“What’s the difference between what you did and what I did before?” Jiang Yan stared at him coldly. “There’s a difference between you and me. Although 1 gave Pei Xin the right to choose, I obviously have my own selfish motives. In the end, Pei Xin will become stronger because of my support. Even if she doesn’t work for my company, other companies will still want her. What about you? You don’t want Pei Xin to excel in her work. You just want to keep her by your side like a pet. Do you really think that Pei Xin is blind? She was willing to be used by me, and I think she should be happy that she still has value to me.”

Li Ze raised his fist in anger.

“What? You want to abuse your fiance?” Jiang Yan sneered.

She leaned closer to Li Ze, her gaze penetrating his soul. “I currently treat Pei Xin as my business partner. If you slap her, 1 will make Pei Xin my love rival. You don’t want me to deal with Pei Xin now, do you?”

Li Ze’s expression was ferocious, but he still withdrew his hand.

He took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Yan with an unfamiliar gaze.

“I didn’t expect you to think that way. So, the reason why you don’t mind me sleeping around and are even willing to marry me is to unite the forces of the two families to deal with Shen Mu, right?”

Jiang Yan chuckled and her attitude returned to its usual nonchalant state. “Of course, did you really think that there was anything about you that would attract me? 1 married you for the power of the Li family.”

Li Ze had nothing left to say.

Jiang Yan was done with the conversation, so she left.

At this moment, Pei Xin was on the phone with Ling Lin in the villa.

“I have good news for you too. I’ve been hired as Miss Shen Jing’s bodyguard,” Ling Jin said to Pei Xin. “When Miss Shen Jing came back from overseas, she said that she gained a few enemies overseas, so I was hired as a bodyguard to protect her. The salary is pretty high, 1’11 be earning twenty thousand dollars! With my own salary, 1 can let you live a good life! The job isn’t as bad as it seems too!”

Pei Xin was slightly shocked.

She had just reached an agreement with Jiang Yan today to take the Shen family down. She said she would deal with Shen Mu when she returned to the capital.

It was unfortunate that she only now found out that her brother had become Shen Mu’s sister’s bodyguard..
