“I don’t know about that either. I haven’t had any contact with her… If I had known that she was…”
If a man like him had known that He Yan was the second lady of the Jian family, he would not have missed such a good opportunity to ask for money.
“And now you know?”
“I know now! I know now!”
He Jianjun already understood what he had to do.
Jian Yuncheng didn’t expect He Jianjun to do anything major.
However, He Jianjun still had an irreplaceable role to play.
After Jian Yuncheng left Mo Huiqin, he received a call from Jian Yunnao.
“Brother, how’s the investigation going?” Jian Yunnao asked Jian Yuncheng anxiously.
“Your second brother and I will take care of this. Focus on your rehabilitation.”
“No, brother. I want to help… I’m responsible for this as well… I…”
“Your second brother said no.”
“But, you’re the oldest. Can’t you…”
“No. Listen to your second brother on this matter. He has the say. I don’t.”
“Ah… Okay,” Jian Yunnao replied. He had no other choice but to listen. “Then, then if there’s anything I can do to help, you must tell me!”
“Got it.”

He Yan felt like she was going to die from anger.
Typically, Wen Nuan was not a fan of making public appearances. However, lately, she had been appearing at various events and occasions.
Everywhere He Yan went, Wen Nuan was there as well.
Furthermore, every single time, she dressed up in a fancy way. It was as if she was deliberately trying to steal all the attention.
In the past, Wen Nuan didn’t like to attend such occasions. Due to this reason, He Yan was the one who was typically seen. Thus, when the ladies talked about Mrs. Jian, they were always talking about her.
However, now, she was no longer ‘Mrs. Jian’. Instead, everyone called her ‘Second Mrs. Jian’.
Furthermore, Wen Nuan had also asked to be in charge of the Jian family’s charity fund.
Originally, the Jian family’s charity fund had been managed by Grandma Jian. However, as Grandma Jian grew older, she wanted to hand it over to her daughters-in-law.
In fact, Grandma Jian’s first choice had always been Wen Nuan. Back then, Wen Nuan had declined. She said that she had four children. Yunnao and Yiling were still young. Due to this reason, she was busy and wanted her third sister-in-law to manage it.
However, her third sister-in-law said she didn’t like to manage such things.
In the end, the management was handed over to He Yan.
And now, Wen Nuan had proposed to manage the charity fund again! This was equivalent to digging out the flesh from He Yan’s heart!
“Sister, I’ve been in charge of this for several years now. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to suddenly take over.” He Yan frowned. She didn’t want to speak too frankly. However, she wanted to express that she was dissatisfied with the sudden proposal.
He Yan felt that Wen Nuan had been behaving strangely recently.
Grandma Jian also took a good look at Wen Nuan. She thought that such an action was rather strange from her daughter-in-law.
However, Grandma Jian didn’t say much. Instead, she asked: “Why do you suddenly want to be in charge of the charity fund?”
Wen Nuan took out a stack of files and account books: “Mother, I didn’t have any problem with the fund being handed over to my second sister-in-law. However, recently, someone from the fund told me that the accounts weren’t adding up. And thus, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jian family, I couldn’t turn a blind eye to it.”
Wen Nuan passed the accounts to Grandma Jian.
He Yan couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Wen Nuan bring out the files.
She had actually checked the accounts in the fund?
After Grandma Jian took a look, her gaze darkened.
“He Yan, what’s going on here?”
“Mother, I don’t know either. Is there something wrong with the accounts?”
