Hearing this, Yan Xiaye suddenly understood.
It turned out that she had underestimated Qin Yan's ambition.
Rather than seizing by force, he didn't just want a share of the vast Qin Family estate; he wanted it legitimately, and it was very likely he was plotting to use her as a puppet, leveraging her name to drive away Qin Jingyi and ultimately control the entire Qin Family.
The ambition was so great it bordered on exaggeration; no wonder Qin Yan approached her so quietly, deliberately granting her favors and luring her into a debt of gratitude, meticulously planning for this day—he had known all along that she was Old Mr. Qin's daughter, lost to the world. That was her greatest value for use.
