Chapter 497: Jealousy (2)_1
The most pressing issue at hand is to ascertain who exactly that person is and whether they have any ulterior motives. If their intention for cooperation is genuine, that would be best, but if they have other designs... Xiao Ruiyuan lowered his gaze, concealing the intense chill about to erupt from the depths of his eyes!
Although he had his suspicions, Xiao Ruiyuan still asked, "Yanyan is unwilling to accept my help, but have you found the funds for the wine estate?
"Yes, someone has offered to collaborate with me. He is willing to provide the silver, and all I need to do is build the estate and produce good wine," she replied.
There was nothing disgraceful about collaborating with Yan Junyu, and Mo Yan had never considered keeping it a secret. Now that Xiao Ruiyuan had asked, she openly discussed their partnership.
Xiao Ruiyuan could tell from Mo Yan’s tone that her relationship with that person was merely a business venture, but he felt an ever-increasing sourness in his heart. The girl would rather give away the majority of the profits than seek his help; to her, he was even less than a stranger!
Suppressing the intense sourness in his heart, Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression remained unchanged, but his voice grew colder, "Who is this person? Can he be trusted?"
Mo Yan distinctly felt the shift in Xiao Ruiyuan’s emotions, but she couldn’t pinpoint the cause and could only respond momentarily, "Bro Xiao should know him—it’s Young Master Yan Junyu from Wu An’s Mansion! Although he is unrestrained and unconventional, he isn’t as willful and overbearing as people say."
At the mention of "Yan Junyu," Xiao Ruiyuan sharply lifted his head, his previously expressionless face showing a trace of a crack, "Yanyan, how did you come to know him?"
