Chapter 258: Being Truthful (2)

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Jian Yu took a while to react, but he thought he heard wrongly. He frowned and asked again in confusion, “What? Where did you go?”

“Macau!” Jian Ai blurted out without hiding anything.

She had already thought about telling her brother and mother some things after her return from Macau.

Her mother was still in the hospital, so Jian Ai was not in a hurry. She planned to tell her brother first and then tell her mother after she had recovered.

The reason why she yearned for wealth so much was very simple and clear. It was to change the financial situation in her family. She wanted her mother and brother to lead and enjoy the best life.

Jian Ai understood this and herself very well. She did not have any noble sentiments or ambitions. In her heart, the people she cared about could be counted with one hand. As long as these people she cared about were happy, it was enough for her.

She was not a greedy person.

Therefore, Jian Ai had no intention of hiding her business from the beginning. She worked hard for the people she cared about and did not need to hide anything!

However, Jian Ai was so direct that Jian Yu couldn’t react for a long time.

Looking at her brother’s stunned expression, Jian Ai smiled and said, “Brother, I opened a company.”

Jian Yu: “…”

Jian Yu’s expression froze on his face. It took him a while to calm down, but he didn’t believe his sister. He thought she was joking with him.

He said, “Stop teasing me. Where have you been?”

“I went to Macau. I brought Jiachi with me.” Jian Ai repeated with certainty and added, “On the day of our departure, Jiachi and I met Elder Uncle and Wang Zichen at the airport!”

Without waiting for her brother to speak, Jian Ai said, “I really opened a real estate company with more than two hundred people. The first project will be launched in the near future. I don’t want to hide it from you and Mom, so I’ve been looking for a suitable opportunity to tell you.”

Jian Ai had a serious expression on her face. She knew that she couldn’t beat around the bush about this. It was easier to believe and accept it if she went straight to the point.

Jian Yu knew his sister and could tell if she was telling the truth.

However…

“You… where did you get the money?” Jian Yu felt frightened, but he was even more puzzled.

“Do you still remember Li Yunmei?” Jian Ai looked into Jian Yu’s eyes and said slowly, “Actually, Li Yunmei’s father signed two checks at the police station. One was one million yuan. I gave it to Mom! I kept the other one.”

Jian Ai paused and said under Jian Yu’s shocked gaze, “That was two million yuan!”

Jian Yu was shocked. At this moment, he was more than shocked. He was extremely shocked!

His sister asked for three million yuan from Li Yunmei’s father? Moreover, she kept two million yuan to start a business and had already opened a company?

All of this had only happened last month!

“I know that all of this seems unbelievable. I sometimes feel like I’m in a dream even. But everything is real. I’ll take you to the company to take a look!” Jian Ai said to Jian Yu.

Jian Yu digested the information Jian Ai had stuffed into his mind. After a while, he nodded dumbly, looking like he had been frightened.

“Xiao Ai, I…” Jian Yu wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.

In the end, Jian Yu exhaled softly. “Don’t tell Mom yet!”

Jian Ai’s expression was calm as usual as she nodded lightly. “I know!”
