《I Became the Billionaire s Target After Pulling Out From My Marriage》 Chapter 1 Annulment In Public Ocean City, Wanhe Banquet VIP Lounge. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t want to.¡± The person who spoke had a cold voice and a firm tone. The groom glanced at the guests below the stage awkwardly and smiled. ¡°Youyi, stop joking. Everyone is waiting.¡± Jiang Youyi looked coldly at her boyfriend, who had been in love with her for five years. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll say it again, Xu Yuning. I don¡¯t want to be your wife. Do you understand?¡± Xu Yuning frowned slightly and finally realized that something was wrong. However, the person opposite him did not give him a chance to ask why. Jiang Youyi decisively pulled off the white veil on her head and threw it to the ground in front of all the guests. She snatched the microphone from the dumbfounded host and took a deep breath before continuing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, everyone. Today¡¯s wedding is over. I¡¯m deeply sorry for wasting everyone¡¯s time, but I can¡¯t force myself to marry someone I don¡¯t love at all. Yes, I don¡¯t love Xu Yuning at all. The person I love is Lu Yunxiao!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was shocked¡­ Who did she say she liked? Lu Yunxiao? Was there a mistake? Everyone in Ocean City probably knew Lu Yunxiao¡¯s name. As the young master of the top influential Lu Family in Ocean City, Lu Yunxiao was mysterious, low-key, and focused. He had been in the business world for more than 10 years. There were all kinds of beauties around him, but he had never liked them. Everyone privately said that Lu Yunxiao was not interested in women. No matter how they looked at it, Jiang Youyi was nothing special. When did she get involved with Lu Yunxiao? Jiang Youyi¡¯s words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake without any explanation, causing huge waves. In particular, the parents sitting on both sides of the stage had ugly expressions. Jiang Youyi¡¯s father, Jiang Yunfei, clenched his fists and suppressed his anger. He asked his wife beside him, ¡°Is Jiang Youyi crazy? What is she doing?¡± Mrs. Jiang shook her head in shock. She had no idea at all. ¡°Youyi, stop fooling around. Let¡¯s talk at home after the wedding.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s expression was tense as he lowered his voice. Jiang Youyi mocked him and said, ¡°Xu Yuning, let¡¯s break up.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the bride, Jiang Youyi, left the auditorium under everyone¡¯s confused gazes. Her actions were clearly a slap to the Xu Family¡¯s face in front of the influential people in Ocean City. More than 10 minutes later, the video of the wedding ignited the trending searches: ¡°The marriage between the two noble families of Ocean City. The bride broke off the engagement and fled the scene.¡± ¡°Actress Jiang Youtian¡¯s younger sister announced at her wedding that she loved someone else.¡± ¡°The third daughter of Ocean City¡¯s wealthy Jiang Family slapped the Xu Family¡¯s face in public.¡± In a short period of time, this messy wedding became a hot topic in the entire Ocean City¡¯s media. Jiang Youyi¡¯s name was on the trending list. After Jiang Youyi escaped from the hotel, she quickly changed her high heels into light sports shoes. She also changed out of her high-end wedding dress into a simple sportswear. She left the hotel in her low-key black Volvo and drove towards the sea. Three days ago, Jiang Youyi had an extremely strange dream. In the dream, less than two months after she married her boyfriend, Xu Yuning, whom she had been in love with for five years, his mistress came to her door aggressively and told her that she was already pregnant with Xu Yuning¡¯s child, asking her to give up her position. Later on, Jiang Youyi decisively proposed a divorce. When the assets were divided, she realized that the corporation under Xu Yuning¡¯s name had long been in debt. All his assets had been transferred overseas, and as his legal wife, she had to bear tens of millions of yuan of debt for him to get a divorce. What was even more ironic was that after the divorce, the Xu Family turned the tables and suddenly announced to all the media that Jiang Youyi¡¯s relationship with Xu Yuning had broken down because of Jiang Youyi¡¯s physiological defects. The Xu Family could not have no descendants, so Xu Yuning found a woman outside. Other than that, they even released an edited footage. Jiang Youyi¡¯s father defended his daughter and was knocked out by Xu Yuning¡¯s vicious mother with an ashtray. He was resuscitated for a day and a night. Later on¡­ Jiang Youyi sat in the hospital corridor and fell asleep exhausted. When she woke up, she realized that she had already transmigrated back to the three days before she married Xu Yuning. It was ridiculous. At first, Jiang Youyi thought that it was just a nightmare, until the trajectory of the matter completely overlapped with the dream. In order to confirm the authenticity of the dream, Jiang Youyi specially got a private detective to investigate Xu Yuning. As expected, she realized that he really had a mistress. Moreover, the mistress had just gone to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. It was no longer a coincidence that there were so many coincidences. Chapter 2 You¡¯re The Child¡¯s Father Her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Youyi pulled herself out of her thoughts. She looked at the screen. It was Xu Yuning. Jiang Youyi had broken off the engagement in front of all the influential people in Ocean City. The Xu Family had already become the target of everyone¡¯s criticism. Of course, all of this was nothing compared to the harm the Xu Family had caused her before she transmigrated. As for Xu Yuning, she had already taken revenge. She did not want to have anything to do with him anymore. ¡°Why isn¡¯t she answering her phone?¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s father looked displeased. Xu Yuning shook his head weakly. He had yet to recover from the shock of being dumped by Jiang Youyi. He did not know what was wrong with Jiang Youyi. Why did she stop loving him just like that? ¡°I¡¯ve already said that that wretched girl is not suitable for marriage at all! What about you? You didn¡¯t turn back and insisted on chasing her for so many years. You spoiled her so much that she doesn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Who does she think she is? How dare she embarrass our family in public? She doesn¡¯t even look at herself. Be it her family background or background, she¡¯s not worthy of you at all. Jiang Youyi¡¯s mother is just an actress after all. She was a lowly person in ancient times¡­¡± Mrs. Xu chattered on, venting her dissatisfaction with Jiang Youyi. ¡°Mom, stop talking.¡± Although Jiang Youyi had embarrassed their family in public, the strange thing was that Xu Yuning could not be angry with her. All he could think about now was to quickly find Jiang Youyi and let her continue her wedding with him. He still remembered that at the business gala in Ocean City five years ago, Xu Yuning fell in love with the 18-year-old Jiang Youyi at first sight and started a fierce pursuit of her. Xu Yuning pursued her vigorously, and everyone in Ocean City knew about them. It was impossible to pretend to like someone, but Jiang Youyi¡¯s concept of relationships was conservative and old-fashioned. She wouldn¡¯t let him touch her before they got married. How could a man his age stand it? Hence, he did have a few women outside. He thought that every man would do this. After all, everyone in the influential circle in Ocean City was the same. Could it be that Jiang Youyi had discovered something? Just as he was panicking, a WeChat message suddenly popped up on his phone. [Is Little Deer Awake?: Yuning, I saw the news online. Are you alright now?] Xu Yuning was in no mood to pay attention to her. Just as he was about to turn off his cell phone, he saw the second message. [Is Little Deer Awake?: Yuning, there¡¯s something I¡¯ve been wondering if I should tell you. But after I thought about it, it¡¯s not fair to me to hide this from you. I¡¯m pregnant with your baby.] [Xu Yuning: Are you kidding me?] [Is Little Deer Awake?: The child has just been seven weeks. My period hasn¡¯t come for a long time. In addition, I vomited whatever I ate recently, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. Do you still remember that this child was conceived the last time we were at the clubhouse¡­] Xu Yuning scratched his head in frustration when he saw this WeChat message. No matter how much he played outside, there would always be only one woman in his heart, and that was Jiang Youyi. He had originally planned to break up with all the women he had outside after getting married. It was not even his woman who sent him this WeChat message. She was at most a one-night stand. Perhaps they were anxious when they saw that Xu Yuning did not reply for a long time. [Is Little Deer Awake?: Yuning, don¡¯t feel burdened. I won¡¯t threaten you with the child. It¡¯s just that as the child¡¯s father, I think you have the right to know. If you don¡¯t want this child, I¡¯ll go to the hospital to abort him after a while. I won¡¯t cling to you. Just live your life with Jiang Youyi.] Since the woman was taking a step back, Xu Yuning could not lose his temper. He only replied coldly, [We¡¯ll talk about it the next time we meet.] A shrewd smile appeared on the woman¡¯s face when she received the WeChat message. She muttered to herself, ¡°Jiang Youyi, why did you run away at the last minute? I even specially prepared a big gift for you. I wanted to give it to you when you were married.¡± On the other hand, Jiang Youyi was driving on the ocean road. She was overjoyed when she thought of the Xu Family¡¯s expression in the banquet hall just now. Unexpectedly, a black Rolls-Royce suddenly blocked her way at the bend in front of her. She honked twice. When the car heard this, not only did it not make way for her, but a middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the driver¡¯s seat and knocked on her window. Puzzled, Jiang Youyi rolled down half of the car window and looked at the person in front of her. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Chapter 3 You¡¯re Too Fake ¡°Miss Jiang, our Young Master wants to meet you.¡± ¡°Your Young Master? I don¡¯t know any young masters. You¡¯re looking for the wrong person, right?¡± Jiang Youyi noticed that the black car by the roadside was a high-end Rolls-Royce Cullinan. There were only a few of them in the entire Ocean City. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Youyi took her car keys, removed her sunglasses and walked towards the luxurious and ostentatious Cullinan. When Jiang Youyi opened the car door and got into the backseat, she was actually shocked by the young man in front of her. She guessed that the person in the Rolls-Royce might be a peacemaker sent by the Xu Family. The Xu Family must have found a famous figure in Ocean City¡¯s upper-class circle to be the peacemaker. However, what she saw was indeed a handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties. Moreover, his face was superior. Jiang Youyi even felt that he was more exquisite than the male celebrities she had seen. However, the only difference was that the person in front of her was very cold and not as enthusiastic as the male celebrities. It was not that Jiang Youyi had never seen the world, but everyone liked to admire beautiful things. Just as she was stunned, the man said calmly, ¡°Jiang Youyi, how dare you?¡± It was clearly a warning with anger, but his low and hoarse voice was exceptionally seductive. ¡°Huh? Did you misunderstand something?¡± Jiang Youyi did not understand what the other party meant. The two of them did not know each other. He was wearing a trimmed white shirt. His figure was straight and smooth, and his eyes were sharp. He looked over coldly without any emotions. ¡°Do you know Lu Yunxiao?¡± Jiang Youyi was puzzled. She felt that his question was very strange. ¡°Of course. Just ask anyone in Ocean City, everyone knows him.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, I never remember meeting you. Why are you dragging me into your relationship with Xu Yuning?¡± It was only when she heard the man¡¯s cold voice that Jiang Youyi suddenly realized that the young man in front of her was actually Lu Yunxiao?! She felt that she had done something inappropriate from the bottom of her heart, but she still instinctively replied, ¡°I only said your name because I don¡¯t know you. Who would cheat their friends on such a matter?¡± After saying that, the car fell into a strange silence. Jiang Youyi suddenly realized that she had gone overboard and immediately changed her words. ¡°President Lu, I¡¯m really sorry to disturb you. At that time, my mind was filled with thoughts. Since I¡¯m not marrying Xu Yuning, I have to vent my anger. In the entire Ocean City, there shouldn¡¯t be anyone richer than you. Only by using your name can the Xu Family suffer. Hence, you won¡¯t be angry that I used your name, right?¡± Jiang Youyi thought quickly. After knowing that the person sitting beside her was Lu Yunxiao, she first complimented him. After all, her ancestor had once said that one wouldn¡¯t hit a smiling person. In the end, she even had to resort to moral coercion. If the big shot was angry, he would be the petty one. This plan made her calculative. Lu Yunxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and mocked, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a fool?¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, President Lu. I didn¡¯t mean to scam you. It¡¯s just that I really couldn¡¯t think of anyone who could make the Xu Family suffer more than you at that time, so I could only borrow your name.¡± Jiang Youyi continued to speak gently. Lu Yunxiao was not someone she could afford to provoke, and she didn¡¯t want to offend him over such a small matter. She said that she liked him at the wedding to slap the Xu Family¡¯s face. After saying that, Jiang Youyi thought that Lu Yunxiao was really angry when she didn¡¯t hear him speak for a long time. She hurriedly added, ¡°How about this? If you really feel that you¡¯ve suffered a loss, I¡¯ll compensate you for some mental damage?¡± Lu Yunxiao turned to look at her and met a pair of clear and watery eyes. ¡°How are you going to compensate me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be your slave in my next life to compensate for your mental damage!¡± ¡°How about in this life?¡± It was obvious that Lu Yunxiao was not satisfied with her answer. ¡°In this life¡­ Why don¡¯t we forget about it first? President Lu, it¡¯s getting late. I¡¯m a little sleepy, so I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Before Lu Yunxiao could react, Jiang Youyi pushed open the car door and slipped out of the car. After walking for a distance, she didn¡¯t forget to turn around and wave enthusiastically. ¡°Goodbye, President Lu. You¡¯re really the kindest domineering CEO I¡¯ve ever seen. I¡¯ll never forget your kindness.¡± Lu Yunxiao looked out of the car window at the cloudless sky and the sun hanging high in the sky and laughed. Jiang Youyi said that she was sleepy? This woman even chose such a lousy excuse. He asked the driver, ¡°Did you hear what she shouted just now?¡± ¡°I heard you, Young Master. Miss Jiang gave you a good person card.¡± Lu Yunxiao lit a cigarette and put it to his lips. He sighed. ¡°This woman is too fake, but I like her.¡± Chapter 4 What Were You Thinking When You Called Off The Wedding? Jiang Youyi wandered around outside until night time before returning home reluctantly. As soon as she entered, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa waiting for her. Mr. Jiang¡¯s face was dark, and Mrs. Jiang¡¯s expression was not good either. ¡°You still have the cheek to come back? You ran away in front of so many people. You didn¡¯t answer your mother¡¯s calls or text messages. Do you know how much trouble you caused? Do you know how embarrassed we were in front of those people?¡± Jiang Yunfei couldn¡¯t suppress the anger in his heart anymore and questioned Jiang Youyi loudly. The Jiang Family could be considered a reputable family in Ocean City. The couple had two daughters and a son. Over the years, they had conscientiously accumulated a lot of family assets. Now, the company under their name was fully managed by their eldest son, Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian was steady and modest. He had already started a family last year. Her second daughter, Jiang Youtian, was an A-list actress in the country. She had a good figure and a beautiful face. She had countless suitors, but she didn¡¯t fancy anyone, so she was still single. Their third child was Jiang Youyi. Probably because her brother and sister were too outstanding, she seemed a little ordinary. Outsiders only knew that she had gone overseas to study since she was young and only returned to the country at the age of 18. If she had not gotten together with Xu Yuning, everyone would have forgotten that the Jiang Family had a third daughter. It was precisely because Xu Yuning pursued her relentlessly after falling in love with her at first sight five years ago that the name Jiang Youyi appeared in the upper-class circle of Ocean City. However, who would have thought that she would dump Xu Yuning at the wedding? ¡°Yunfei, don¡¯t scare Youyi. What if the child has something difficult to say? Let her sit down and explain to you slowly,¡± Mrs. Jiang comforted gently. In this house, even Mr. Wang, who was guarding the door, knew that Old Master Jiang favored his second daughter, Jiang Youtian. Her status as a female celebrity made him, as a father, very proud. Madam preferred Eldest Young Master Jiang Nian. After all, he had always been the one shouldering the company¡¯s matters for his parents. Only Jiang Youyi, the youngest, had stayed overseas for 10 years. After returning, her status in the Jiang Family was awkward, and she was not close to her parents, brother and sister. However, she was their child no matter what. They could not ignore such a huge incident. Jiang Youyi calmly took the slippers from the housekeeper and changed into them. Then, she walked to her parents and stood still. ¡°Dad, Mom, arrange a place to meet the Xu Family. I¡¯ll explain it to everyone when the time comes.¡± ¡°Do you regret it now? What else do you have to explain? Yuning won¡¯t forgive you no matter what you say after what you did. You acted impulsively, and now, you¡¯ve made us and the Xu Family lose face in Ocean City! You¡¯re too insensible!¡± Jiang Yunfei was so angry that his hands trembled. He thought that his daughter regretted it. ¡°I don¡¯t need the Xu Family¡¯s forgiveness. I just want to make things clear so that his family won¡¯t spout nonsense and distort the truth.¡± ¡°Are you worried that they will spout nonsense now? What were you thinking when you called off the engagement? Look at your brother and sister. Which one of them made us so worried?¡± Jiang Youyi did not want to explain too much. She had already thought of a countermeasure. ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯ll go upstairs to rest first. Tell me when you have an appointment with the Xu Family.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, you¡¯re too insensible!¡± Mr. Jiang scolded loudly. ¡°Aiya, that¡¯s enough. Youyi is an adult. She must have her own plans for whatever she does. Since she wants to meet the Xu Family, make an appointment with their family. Won¡¯t we know what¡¯s going on then?¡± Mrs. Jiang noticed Jiang Youyi¡¯s tired gaze and didn¡¯t want her husband to keep criticizing the child. ¡°You¡¯re the one who spoils this child. Look at her now. Does she look like a proper person?¡± ¡°Jiang Yunfei, touch your conscience and tell me, who has spoiled Youyi? She went overseas to study when she was 10 years old. Don¡¯t you know how pitiful it is to not have her parents by her side? We already owe her a lot. Now that something has happened, can we as parents still criticize her like outsiders? Besides, perhaps there¡¯s just a misunderstanding between the two of them. After all, she has been with Yuning for five years. Perhaps the two of them will reconcile after the misunderstanding is resolved.¡± Mr. and Mrs. Jiang saw how well Xu Yuning had treated Jiang Youyi in the past five years. Until now, they still thought that Jiang Youyi broke off the engagement in a fit of anger because the two of them had just had a small and harmless conflict. When Jiang Yunfei heard his wife¡¯s words, he calmed down a lot. He sighed and picked up his cell phone to contact the Xu Family. Speaking of which, the two families could be considered in-laws. After all, the two children were only missing the last ring exchange ceremony and marriage certificate before they were officially husband and wife. Chapter 5 She¡¯s Not That Kind of Person Jiang Youyi returned to her room. After washing up, she changed into plain white pajamas and got into bed. The first thing she did after getting into bed was to turn on her cell phone. In order to prevent Xu Yuning from calling, she had been on flight mode. Now, she only connected her cell phone to Wifi and logged into WeChat. She clicked on WeChat and saw more than 100 messages. They were all from her relatives and friends. After all, everyone knew that she had broken off the engagement. [Big Brother: Youyi, pick up the phone quickly. Dad and Mom have been looking for you like crazy. Can we talk at home?] [Sister-in-law: Youyi, let¡¯s not get married if you don¡¯t want to. Your brother and I support your decision.] [Second Sister: Jiang Youyi, I heard that you ran away from the marriage? You¡¯re quite bold. You¡¯d better find a place to hide quickly. I think Dad won¡¯t be appeased unless he beats you up.] [Good Friend, Xiaohui: Jiang Youyi?! Even if you want to escape from the wedding, you have to bring me along, right? I only went to the toilet when I heard that you broke off the engagement. You¡¯re too sudden!!!] [Cousin, Chen Hao: Youyi, what¡¯s wrong? Are you really going to break up with Xu Yuning? Rumor has it that the Xu Family is angry and is thinking of ways to deal with you.] Jiang Youyi looked at them one by one and chose to reply to her cousin first. [Jiang Youyi: Cousin, who did you hear it from?] Chen Hao replied almost instantly. [Youyi, you¡¯ve finally returned to WeChat. Where are you now? Are you alright?] [Jiang Youyi: I¡¯m going home. I¡¯m fine.] [Chen Hao: It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. You scared us to death. I heard from the people around me that Mr. Xu is furious and might expose your scandals to the media. He seems to want to cut off the business cooperation between the two families and ask the other partners not to have any more contact with your family.] [Jiang Youyi: I understand. Thank you, Sister.] [Chen Hao: Why are you still so polite to me? However, Youyi, I still have to advise you. The Xu Family is indeed an existence we can¡¯t afford to provoke in Ocean City. Moreover, I think Xu Yuning really likes you very much. Even if there¡¯s any misunderstanding between the two of you, can¡¯t you just talk it over? There¡¯s no need to break up. As for his parents, they probably won¡¯t make things difficult for you on account of their son.] [Jiang Youyi: Sister, don¡¯t worry. I know what to do.] Seeing that Jiang Youyi was determined, Chen Hao could not persuade her anymore. After all, marriage was ultimately her own business. In Ocean City, in a Chinese Jiangnan-style courtyard, Xu Yuning sat alone in the empty living room and smoked silently. His other hand was still fiddling with his cell phone. He called hundreds of times, but he only received a cold mechanical female voice every time. He did not know if Jiang Youyi had blacklisted his number or turned off her cell phone. She had long blacklisted his WeChat account and he could not send a single message to her. ¡°Jiang Youyi, how dare she! Why doesn¡¯t she take a look at their Jiang Family¡¯s status? If my son hadn¡¯t fallen for her blind, their family wouldn¡¯t even be worthy of carrying our Xu Family¡¯s shoes!¡± Mrs. Xu scolded at the top of her lungs. The Xu Family had been glorious in Ocean City for more than 100 years. They had been running their business well since Xu Yuning¡¯s great-grandfather¡¯s generation. Hence, there were many big families who wanted to marry their daughters into their family. As parents, they did not expect their son to be blind enough to take a fancy to the ordinary third daughter of the Jiang Family. This marriage was originally out of her reach. If their son had not threatened them with his life back then, they would not have allowed him to marry such a woman from a small family no matter what. Now, this woman actually dared to break off the engagement in front of so many influential people in Ocean City. She completely reduced their Xu Family to a gossip topic and joke of the other aristocratic families! ¡°Yuning, what exactly happened between the two of you?¡± Mr. Xu had been in the business world for many years after all, so he was much calmer than Mrs. Xu. Xu Yuning shook his head, his heart still in a mess. ¡°Brother, say something! How did you make Sister Youyi unhappy? Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? She¡¯s already determined not to see you. Why don¡¯t I look for her? I¡¯ll help you coax her,¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s sister, Xu Pingping, advised softly. Before Xu Yuning could speak, Mrs. Xu had already started to fly into a rage. ¡°No one is allowed to look for that woman! Don¡¯t you think that things have not turned ugly enough? Isn¡¯t it enough that your brother has been that little b*tch¡¯s bootlicker for five years? Why are you talking like this now? How did I give birth to such a pair of useless children like you?!¡± Chapter 6 So You¡¯re Here To Get Food? ¡°Mom, calm down first. I¡¯ve known Sister Youyi for five years. She¡¯s not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding here.¡± Xu Pingping¡¯s words made Xu Yuning fall into deep thought. He felt that as a boyfriend, he had been obedient to Jiang Youyi for the past five years. He could even be said to have indulged her unconditionally. However, he could not understand why Jiang Youyi was so determined to break up with him. ¡°The two of you have been played around by that little b*tch Jiang Youyi! From the moment I saw her, I felt that she was not easy to deal with. Other than being good-looking, what other advantages does that little b*tch have? We can¡¯t let this matter go no matter what. The betrothal gift to their family must be returned in full. In addition, we have to make the Jiang Family apologize in public and let them compensate our family for the damage to our reputation! They asked for it!¡± Mrs. Xu couldn¡¯t take it lying down no matter what. She was determined to fall out with the Jiang Family now. Actually, she had never liked Jiang Youyi, but her good-for-nothing son liked her very much. Perhaps mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were natural enemies. She was furious when she saw her son asking about that woman¡¯s well-being. Now that this marriage was ruined, it suited her wishes. At this moment, Mr. Xu¡¯s cell phone rang. He picked it up and said a few words. After hanging up, Mr. Xu looked around at the people in the house. ¡°It¡¯s Jiang Yunfei. Jiang Youyi just came home.¡± Hearing Jiang Youyi¡¯s news, Xu Yuning, who was originally dejected, stood up from the sofa and walked out. ¡°Come back here!¡± Mr. Xu¡¯s gaze was sharp. ¡°Dad, I have to ask her why, right?¡± ¡°Her father has already arranged to meet me at the Rose Garden at 12 noon tomorrow. You¡¯ll know why then. You¡¯re not allowed to go tonight.¡± The Rose Garden was a private business club under the Xu Family. It was luxuriously decorated and was popular among the big shots. Xu Yuning hesitated for more than 10 seconds when he heard this news. He looked up. ¡°That meeting is yours. I have to see her tonight.¡± With that, he turned around and left, ignoring the expressions of his parents. ¡°Xu Yuning! If you dare to walk out of this door today, I¡¯ll pretend that I don¡¯t have a son like you in the future!¡± Mrs. Xu shouted angrily from behind. However, Xu Yuning only paused slightly when he heard that. In the end, he still walked out of the villa resolutely. On Ocean City¡¯s southern fourth ring district, in the villa area of Book Fragrance Park. Xu Yuning parked the car by the roadside and rushed into the Jiang Family villa. ¡°Third Missy, Young Master Yuning is here to look for you. Old Master said that you must meet him today. He also said that running away is not a solution. You have to face what you want to do yourself bravely.¡± The housekeeper, Sister Fang, knocked on the door softly. Jiang Youyi sat in front of her dressing table and applied face cream. The person in the mirror had a flawless and exquisite face, but her eyes were slightly cold. It was so quiet that no one seemed to be in the room. Just as Sister Fang was about to knock on the door again, she heard Jiang Youyi¡¯s calm voice. ¡°Let him come up.¡± Xu Yuning was in a hurry to see her. He even forgot to wear his coat and only wore a thin short-sleeved shirt. Actually, no matter how one looked at it, Xu Yuning could be considered a proud young master. There had been countless women wooing him since he was young. In high school, there were even girls who resolutely gave up the opportunity to study abroad in order to get into the same university as him. However, after so many years, no woman could make him submit to her like Jiang Youyi. He was actually a little nervous when he walked to Jiang Youyi¡¯s room. Although he had been wooing Jiang Youyi for more than four years, the two of them had only been together for a short year. He rarely had the chance to come to Jiang Youyi¡¯s house, let alone her room. He stood at the door and knocked lightly. After getting her permission, he pushed the door open and entered. The moment he entered, he saw Jiang Youyi sitting in front of the dressing table in her pajamas, applying face cream. Even without makeup, it was enough to make Xu Yuning¡¯s eyes light up. ¡°Youyi.¡± He couldn¡¯t explain why he wasn¡¯t angry at all. Jiang Youyi looked up at him but did not say anything. ¡°Youyi, you can tell me what I did wrong or made you unhappy. I¡¯ll change. I¡¯ve been looking for you for the entire day today, but I haven¡¯t eaten a bite until now.¡± ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re here to ask for food?¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s tone was cold and sarcastic, without any guilt. Although Xu Yuning did not understand why she was so harsh, his inexplicable sixth sense told him that if he did not lower his head and coax her this time, it would probably be impossible for the two of them in the future. He hid his unhappiness and strode to Jiang Youyi. He squatted down and wanted to hold her hand. Chapter 7 Don¡¯t Make Things Too Ugly However, Jiang Youyi dodged him mercilessly. ¡°Youyi, can you tell me what¡¯s going on between us? What mistake did I make for you to punish me like this? You clearly know how much I love you.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s face was filled with pain, but he was not pretending. If anyone else was here, they would probably not be able to be ruthless to such a handsome and affectionate face. Unfortunately, the person sitting here was Jiang Youyi, who had been reborn. ¡°Xu Yuning, I¡¯ll explain to everyone what happened between us in front of the elders of the two families tomorrow. See you at the Rose Garden tomorrow.¡± ¡°Other than needing to give me an explanation for our relationship, you don¡¯t have to explain it to anyone. You just have to tell me the truth. As for the others, I can explain it to them for you.¡± Xu Yuning could sense Jiang Youyi¡¯s obvious coldness, but he still didn¡¯t want to give up. ¡°Let¡¯s part on good terms. Don¡¯t make things too ugly. Leave. I don¡¯t have anything to explain to you alone.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but her slightly darkened eyes were already giving people a lot of pressure. The two of them had known each other for five years, and he had been carefully managing their relationship. He had long known that he liked Jiang Youyi more than she liked him. But who asked him to be willing? Even though he was indignant, he did not want to make Jiang Youyi angry. No matter what problems or misunderstandings there were between the two of them, even if Jiang Youyi wanted to raise other conditions tomorrow, he would agree as long as it was within his ability. It was fine as long as she married him. The room was silent for a long time. Xu Yuning slowly got up. ¡°See you tomorrow then. Sleep early and don¡¯t stay up late.¡± On one end, Xu Yuning left the Jiang Family reluctantly. On the other end, the Lu Family was also bustling. After Lu Yunxiao took over the family business, he moved out and lived alone. In the past, when his grandparents were still around, he would often come back to visit the two elders. Ever since his grandfather passed away last year and his grandmother went to his aunt¡¯s house to retire, Lu Yunxiao did not come back anymore. It was because his biological mother had passed away from illness more than 10 years ago. In less than a year, his father anxiously married his second wife. His stepmother was Mr. Lu¡¯s high school classmate, an unpopular female celebrity. After Mr. Lu remarried, the relationship between the father and son, who were not close to begin with, became even more distant. Today, Mr. Lu specially called his son and asked him to come back for dinner. Lu Yunxiao roughly knew what he wanted to ask. In the Lu Family¡¯s courtyard, more than 10 delicious dishes were placed in front of the three of them. Lu Yunxiao ate the food in his bowl absent-mindedly and seemed very silent. On the other hand, his stepmother, Du Meihong, smiled and said, ¡°Yunxiao, your father said that you like bamboo shoots. I specially got someone to dig them out from the lake today. Try them and see how they taste.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s tone was calm, but he did not reach out to pick up the dish. ¡°Do you know the youngest girl from the Jiang Family?¡± Chairman Lu suddenly asked. This matter had caused an uproar in Ocean City today. He had long heard the news. ¡°We¡¯ve met before, but we don¡¯t know each other,¡± Lu Yunxiao replied. ¡°Then why did she run away from the wedding? Does it have anything to do with you?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°I saw the video of the wedding venue. That girl said that she has liked you for a long time. Don¡¯t you know about this?¡± ¡°I just found out today.¡± ¡°Nonsense! Do you think I¡¯m a three-year-old child? If she really likes you, would you not know at all?¡± Chairman Lu felt that his son was clearly prevaricating. ¡°I really don¡¯t know.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s expression was normal. No one knew better than Chairman Lu what his child was like. Lu Yunxiao had never bothered to lie since he was young, so he was a little stunned. He looked into his wife¡¯s eyes for a long time and didn¡¯t know what to say. Du Meihong was the first to break the silence. She smiled and said, ¡°Yunxiao, don¡¯t be angry. Your father doesn¡¯t mean that. He¡¯s just impatient. He just thinks that you¡¯re not young anymore. If you really like that girl, it¡¯s not impossible for you to be together. As long as she hasn¡¯t registered her marriage with Xu Yuning, it¡¯s not considered a second marriage.¡± ¡°You¡¯re still discriminating against second marriages? Which one of you didn¡¯t marry for the second time when you married my father?¡± Du Meihong was stunned on the spot and did not know what to say. ¡°Lu Yunxiao! You¡¯re too rude! Do you still think you¡¯re a child?!¡± Chairman Lu was so angry that his veins were bulging. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first. Take your time.¡± Lu Yunxiao couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything more to his father. He didn¡¯t eat much of the food in his bowl. He said that they were eating together, but he was just dealing with them. Chapter 8 Eight Years of Blankness ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten much. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? There¡¯s even soup specially made for you in the kitchen¡­¡± Her stepmother stood up half-jokingly to persuade him to stay, but Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t even turn around. ¡°I wonder who his temper is like! He¡¯s getting more and more overboard! Does he still care about our family? To think that you worked all afternoon for this meal.¡± Chairman Lu put down his chopsticks and was no longer in the mood to eat. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, Hubby. No matter what, Yunxiao is still a child. Why would I lower myself to his level? As his elder, I¡¯ll tolerate him as much as I can. It¡¯s fine. After all, he¡¯s our only child. Besides, if I don¡¯t treat him well, how am I going to explain it to Sister when I go down there in the future?¡± Du Meihong coaxed Lu Guo¡¯an gently. His gloomy expression gradually improved. It was obvious that he enjoyed it. Lu Yunxiao left the villa and got into the car. In the dark car, Lu Yunxiao lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Uncle Wang.¡± ¡°Okay, where are we going?¡± ¡°Deer¡¯s Cry Hot Springs.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± It was not because Lu Yunxiao liked to soak in the hot spring, but because this place was run by his good friend, Wang Jiangbei. Hence, they often drank and talked here during their free time. ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s already news about Miss Jiang.¡± The driver, Uncle Wang, whose sideburns had already turned slightly white, was respectful. ¡°Yes, tell me.¡± Lu Yunxiao leaned back in his chair lazily. The cigarette between his fingers was already half gone. ¡°Miss Jiang studied in Ocean City¡¯s No. 1 Primary School before she was 10 years old. Her results were top in the class, and she had a good relationship with her classmates. There were basically no special circumstances. After she turned 18, she returned from studying abroad and studied for a doctorate at Ocean City University. However, she almost didn¡¯t go to class. Instead, she often went out to play alone. Every time she went out, it would take at least half a month and she almost didn¡¯t stay in Ocean City permanently. Hence, her relationship with Xu Yuning seemed to be average.¡± ¡°What about the eight years she studied abroad?¡± Lu Yunxiao was resting with his eyes closed, and his voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°This is also what I want to tell you. Miss Jiang¡¯s experience in the past eight years is completely blank. I can¡¯t find anything.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t find anything?¡± He slowly opened his eyes, and a meaningful look flashed across his dark eyes. ¡°Yes, we only know that she studied in G City in America. She studied at Stanford in university and biology. But we can¡¯t find out where she lived in the past eight years, who she usually interacted with, or what school she attended in junior high school. I feel that someone deliberately erased all traces of her for the past eight years, or perhaps Miss Jiang erased them herself.¡± Lu Yunxiao was silent for a moment. He looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window for a long time before saying, ¡°What an interesting girl.¡± ¡°If you want to continue investigating, I¡¯ll get our people to dig deeper. We might find something.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to. I don¡¯t want to alert the enemy. However, there¡¯s one thing I¡¯m sure of.¡± ¡°You mean¡­¡± ¡°As her boyfriend, Xu Yuning definitely doesn¡¯t know her true colors.¡± The black Cullinan shuttled through the night sky of Ocean City, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Ever since Lu Yunxiao took over the family business, almost no one had seen his face even though he had been on the richest list for a few years in a row. He was such a mysterious and low-key existence. However, what he did not expect was that his peaceful life was actually destroyed by a young lady. On the other hand, Xu Yuning did not go home directly after leaving the Jiang Family. Instead, he turned around and went to a high-end apartment in the Second Ring Road District in the city center. This high-end apartment was developed by a real estate company under the Xu Family. It was 120 square meters and only one woman lived in it. Her name was Zhang Meng. A year ago, this woman called Zhang Meng had just graduated from university and was interning at a high-end club under the Xu Family. No one would have thought that a year later, she had already transformed into the deputy manager of the administrative department of the Defeng Foundation, the most famous company under the Xu Corporation. She was also the woman who had climbed into Xu Yuning¡¯s bed two months ago while the company was doing team-building. ¡°Yuning, why are you here so late?¡± Zhang Meng saw him and was in a daze, as if he was a little frightened. ¡°I came to see you.¡± ¡°Have you eaten? Shall I make you some supper?¡± ¡°No need. Is there any alcohol?¡± ¡°Yes, is vodka okay?¡± The woman had a harmless face. As she answered gently, she squatted down to help the man change into his slippers and took care of him meticulously. Xu Yuning did not answer. He walked into the living room and slumped onto the sofa with a tired expression. Chapter 9 I Realize That I Can¡¯t Do It At All Zhang Meng hurriedly poured a glass of vodka and went behind Xu Yuning to massage his shoulders. ¡°I know you¡¯ve been troubled a lot recently, but since many things have happened, perhaps it¡¯s fate. If you don¡¯t take good care of your body, how can you resolve the rest?¡± ¡°Zhang Meng, you¡¯re a woman too. Help me think about it. Why did Youyi suddenly want to break up with me?¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s expression changed slightly. She did not expect him to still be reluctant to part with Jiang Youyi at this point. However, the displeasure on her face quickly flashed past. At this moment, Xu Yuning turned around and saw a pitiful face. ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary worker. How would I dare to comment on Third Miss Jiang?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? Just say what you want. It¡¯s fine.¡± Xu Yuning did not hear the deeper meaning in her words at all. Zhang Meng used her fair and slender fingers to massage Xu Yuning¡¯s shoulder gently as she said unintentionally, ¡°Didn¡¯t Third Miss Jiang personally admit that she likes someone else? How can one person suddenly fall in love with another person in such a short period of time? I¡¯m guessing that the two of them might have had an ambiguous relationship a long time ago. Third Miss Jiang might be deeply in love with him, so she wants to break up with you quickly so that she can be with that man.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Youyi isn¡¯t a promiscuous woman.¡± Xu Yuning wasn¡¯t a fool. As long as Jiang Youyi was in Ocean City for the past five years, he had been by her side almost every day. How could he not know what kind of person she was? Moreover, he knew very well who Jiang Youyi usually interacted with. She had never interacted with Lu Yunxiao in the past five years. ¡°You think too highly of her. If she¡¯s not that kind of person, why did she suddenly go back on her word and not get married when the two of you are about to get married? Moreover, why did she say that she likes Lu Yunxiao and not other men? It¡¯s because she likes the Lu Family¡¯s power. It¡¯s good to break up with such a woman. I don¡¯t think she¡¯s worthy of such an outstanding person like you.¡± Zhang Meng looked at Xu Yuning with admiration. Since ancient times, men had always been the same. They liked to hear women flatter them. However, Xu Yuning was not in the mood to be happy. The more he listened, the angrier he became. Even though he knew that nothing had happened between Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao, he still felt disgusted. ¡°Doesn¡¯t the Lu Family just have a little money? I can give her what he can give Youyi. However, Youyi doesn¡¯t lack money to spend. She doesn¡¯t have to find anyone to be with for money. Do you think that Lu guy used dirty tricks to force Youyi to break up with me? Could Youyi have been forced to do so?¡± Xu Yuning started to hypnotize himself. A dark look flashed across Zhang Meng¡¯s eyes. She wished she could slap him awake now. She, a woman with a figure and looks, was trying her best to please him. How could she not compare to Jiang Youyi, who dumped him mercilessly? Other than her status as the third daughter of the Jiang Family, how could Jiang Youyi compare to her? Moreover, she was pregnant with his baby now. Didn¡¯t he care? Indeed, men were all cheap! Zhang Meng felt indignant, but she did not show it on her face. She lowered her head and stopped talking, but her eyes suddenly turned red. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°Yuning, do you not want our baby?¡± At the mention of the child, Xu Yuning realized in shock that he had forgotten about this huge problem. Seeing that Xu Yuning was frowning and did not say anything for a long time, Zhang Meng¡¯s tears fell. ¡°Yuning, I know that you like Third Miss Jiang. I also know that I¡¯m not worthy of you. I¡¯ve already thought about it. After the two of you get married, I¡¯ll hide my feelings for you in my heart and never disturb you again. However, I realized that I can¡¯t do it at all. The baby in my stomach grows day by day. I think every day that this is our child.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about the child in the future.¡± Xu Yuning was just impulsive after drinking with her and did not have any feelings for her. He only hated himself for not being able to control his lower body and making such a woman with no status or family background pregnant with his child. He would never let her give birth to this child. Putting aside their family backgrounds, the only person he loved was Jiang Youyi. ¡°Alright, Yuning, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± ¡°I still have something on. I¡¯ll leave first. Go to bed early.¡± At the mention of the child, Xu Yuning was not in the mood to stay any longer. ¡°It¡¯s so late. It¡¯s not safe for you to drive alone. Why don¡¯t you stay tonight? I can sleep in the guest room.¡± Zhang Meng bit her lip, her wet eyes slightly red. ¡°No, I have something to do.¡± ¡°Yuning, I¡­¡± Zhang Meng hesitated. Chapter 10 It¡¯s Not Your Turn To Interrupt Xu Yuning reacted and took out a card from the countless cards in his wallet and placed it on the coffee table. ¡°This is my secondary card. There¡¯s a quota of 100,000 yuan a month. Buy something you like.¡± With that, Xu Yuning turned around and left without any reluctance. Zhang Meng looked at the credit card on the coffee table. There was no smile on her beautiful face. He wanted to send her away with just a few hundred thousand yuan? What a joke. At noon the next day, in the Rose Garden. The Jiang Family went to two cars. The driver drove the Alphard with Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi¡¯s brother, Jiang Nian, drove his Cayenne with his wife. There were a total of five people in the family. ¡°Chairman, the Jiang Family is here,¡± the Rose Garden manager said as he walked into the private room. Before Chairman Xu could speak, Xu Yuning could not wait to get up and look around, wanting to find Jiang Youyi. Other than Jiang Youyi¡¯s second sister, Jiang Youtian, who was busy with work and could not make it back in time, the other members of the Jiang Family were all present. It was enough to show how important today¡¯s meeting was. On the Xu Family¡¯s side, other than Mr. and Mrs. Xu and Xu Yuning, Xu Yuning¡¯s sister, Xu Pingping, was also here. She was still in university and had specially applied for leave from the teacher to rush over today. As soon as the two sides met, the atmosphere became tense. After all, it was his daughter who broke off the engagement first. Jiang Yunfei was in the wrong, so he was not so unyielding. As soon as Jiang Youyi walked into the private room, Xu Yuning¡¯s gaze was fixed on her. Jiang Youyi was dressed especially simply today. She was wearing a coffee-colored windbreaker and jeans. Her long black hair was slightly curled and rested gently on her shoulders. There was only a layer of foundation on her face and no other makeup. ¡°Youyi¡­¡± Xu Yuning saw her and was about to go over when Mrs. Xu pulled him back. ¡°Can you be more promising? She was spoiled by you.¡± ¡°Brother, Mother makes sense. Don¡¯t waste this time. Let¡¯s see Sister Youyi¡¯s attitude,¡± Xu Pingping advised. The VIP room in the Rose Garden was decorated in an antique style. The fragrance was very faint, making people unconsciously relax. The Jiang Family and the Xu Family sat around the dining table, not too close. ¡°Brother Xu, I¡¯m really sorry. We also educated the child when we went back last night. Her impulsiveness caused trouble for everyone.¡± Although Jiang Yunfei was also a businessman, the Jiang Family¡¯s business was less than a third of the Xu Family¡¯s. In terms of age and qualifications, it was not a loss for Jiang Yunfei to call Mr. Xu Big Brother. Before Xu Hao could say anything, Mrs. Xu shouted, ¡°We gave your family tens of millions of yuan as betrothal gifts. The wedding hotel started preparing half a year in advance. Now that the wedding has failed, can you resolve it with an apology?¡± At this point, Mrs. Xu looked at Jiang Youyi critically. ¡°At this point, I¡¯ll be honest. We didn¡¯t say anything when my son liked Jiang Youyi in the past. Actually, everyone knows very well that no matter how you look at it, you¡¯re the ones who took advantage of the Jiang Family to be in-laws with us.¡± ¡°With Yuning¡¯s condition, it¡¯s not a problem for him to find any family he wants, but he has his heart set on marrying Jiang Youyi. As parents, our hearts ache for our son, so we let him be. However, your daughter running away from the marriage in public is equivalent to slapping our faces. Now, I finally understand that Jiang Youyi doesn¡¯t even have the most basic sense of responsibility. It¡¯s fine to cancel this marriage.¡± ¡°Auntie Xu, your words are too harsh. My sister has been an obedient and sensible child since she was young. She must have her difficulties this time. You didn¡¯t even listen to my sister¡¯s explanation and you already concluded that she¡¯s an irresponsible person. Isn¡¯t that too arbitrary? Just as you said, if my sister¡¯s future mother-in-law is someone like you, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary for her to marry you.¡± Jiang Youyi did not expect Jiang Nian to lose his patience before she could speak. She could not help but be a little surprised. Actually, she had not been close to her older brother and sister all these years. Everyone was busy with their own things. She did not expect her usually polite brother to have such a domineering side at the critical moment. ¡°It¡¯s not your place to interrupt the adults¡¯ conversation.¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s personality was already tricky, and now, she was even more aggressive and refused to let go of the Jiang Family¡¯s parents. ¡°We really want to apologize to you and talk things out with you. We don¡¯t want to quarrel,¡± Mrs. Jiang said gently. ¡°Talk things out? Alright, return all the betrothal gifts to us.¡± ¡°Of course. Since the marriage has been broken off, we will return the betrothal gifts to you intact. This is the betrothal gifts list. Take a look.¡± Mrs. Jiang took out a printed list from her Himalayan bag and placed it in front of Mrs. Xu. Chapter 11 You Just Want to Go Back on Your Words, Right? ¡°I don¡¯t agree. I refuse to break off the engagement!¡± Xu Yuning stood up. It had not been easy for him to woo Jiang Youyi. The two of them had only been together for a year. Although they usually did not see each other much, they did not have any conflicts. They were clearly getting along well. Why did they break up? ¡°Shut up.¡± Xu Hao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and scolded him. He couldn¡¯t stand his son¡¯s humble appearance. ¡°Dad, Mom. I¡¯m serious. I have to marry Youyi.¡± ¡°Sit down!¡± Xu Hao was furious and his tone became harsher. Mrs. Xu glanced at the betrothal gifts¡¯ list with a dark expression. Then, she looked up and said, ¡°These are the betrothal gifts you returned to us. What about the mental damage compensation? Our family has been preparing for this wedding for half a year. The expenses of these wedding hotels are more than a million yuan. Just the wedding dress that Jiang Youyi wore yesterday from Paris costs more than a million yuan. You have to bear these losses, right? After all, you were the ones who proposed to break off the engagement. Although I know this money is not a small sum for you, you won¡¯t want to go back on your word, right?¡± When the Jiang Family¡¯s parents heard this, they looked at each other and did not say anything. ¡°It¡¯s time for you to explain clearly why you have to cancel this marriage,¡± Jiang Yunfei looked at his youngest daughter, Jiang Youyi, and said calmly. Mrs. Xu stared at Jiang Youyi sharply. Actually, she had already thought about it before she came. There were only two outcomes to today¡¯s negotiations. First, the wedding would be canceled, and the Jiang Family would compensate them for all their financial losses, including mental damage. Second, if Jiang Youyi wanted to continue marrying into their family, the Jiang Family would have to compensate for the loss of the previous wedding. Moreover, after Jiang Youyi married into the Jiang Family, she could use this matter to take her daughter-in-law down a notch. Anyway, since the Jiang Family made them embarrassed in front of so many people, the Jiang Family had to pay a higher price. Jiang Youyi did not even look at Xu Yuning from the beginning to the end. She just listened to the elders¡¯ conversation calmly. Hearing her father ask her to make things clear, she decisively took out a brown paper bag from her bag and placed it in front of Xu Hao. ¡°Uncle, this is why I have to break off the engagement.¡± The rest of the Jiang Family did not know in advance, nor did they know what was in the brown paper bag. However, they all believed that Jiang Youyi was not someone who did whatever she wanted without considering the consequences. Since she insisted on breaking off the engagement, she must have her reasons. That was why they could sit here calmly and negotiate with the Xu family. Other than Jiang Yunfei, who felt that he had let the Xu Family down, everyone else was calm. Even Jiang Youyi¡¯s sister-in-law did not speak from the moment she saw the Xu Family after greeting them. Even though Mrs. Xu was picky and kept saying that they were from a small family and were out of her league, she did not say anything. This bearing was not something ordinary people could compare to. Xu Hao frowned slightly and opened the brown paper bag on the table. ¡°Brother, do you know what Sister Youyi gave Dad?¡± Xu Pingping was a little puzzled and asked Xu Yuning in a low voice. Xu Yuning shook his head. He was also completely in the dark. ¡°What tricks are you up to now? I think you¡¯re just trying to renege on your debt!¡± Mrs. Xu said disdainfully. Jiang Youyi raised her eyebrows. ¡°I think there will be an outcome soon. Uncle Xu is a smart person. He will naturally understand.¡± The private room fell into a strange silence. Xu Yuning¡¯s father was furious after taking a quick look at the materials in the brown paper bag. He slammed the things in front of Xu Yuning and scolded angrily, ¡°This is what you did!¡± ¡°Dad¡­ what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xu Yuning stood up in a daze and wanted to get the documents. However, his father slapped him without warning, causing his vision to darken. ¡°What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Why did you hit your son? Did he make a mistake? Let me tell you, don¡¯t be deceived by them!¡± After saying that, Mrs. Xu glared at Jiang Youyi fiercely. She thought that Jiang Youyi must have played a trick for Xu Hao to hit his son. ¡°Shut up! This is the good son you raised!¡± Xu Hao scolded angrily and bowed deeply to the Jiang Family¡¯s parents. Jiang Yunfei and his wife were puzzled. Jiang Nian and his wife could not help but be stunned on the spot. What was in that brown paper bag? It could actually make Xu Hao¡¯s attitude change 180 degrees? ¡°Brother Jiang, I didn¡¯t educate a good child. Our corporation has had too many things to do this year. I was busy with work every day and neglected to educate the child. That¡¯s why he fooled around with women outside behind Youyi¡¯s back and even made the other woman pregnant. Our family has let you down in this matter. We can understand if Youyi wants to break off the engagement.¡± Chapter 12 Stay Away From My Sister Xu Hao¡¯s words stunned everyone except Jiang Youyi, including Xu Yuning himself. He was shocked and afraid. How did Jiang Youyi discover that he had someone outside? He had always been very careful and had never been photographed by the paparazzi. Why did Jiang Youyi have such a photo? Ignoring the burning pain on his face, he picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them. It would be fine if he did not read them, but the more he read, the more flustered he became. There were even photos of Zhang Meng registering at the gynecology and obstetrics department. The hospital¡¯s blood test report was taken clearly. There were also a few photos taken from the surveillance cameras. They were of Xu Yuning driving into an apartment. The woman in the front passenger seat was Zhang Meng. There was also a photo of the two of them kissing in the car when they were waiting for a red light. All the physical evidence was clearly in front of him. There was no need for him to admit it. ¡°Is there anything else you want to say?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at Xu Yuning calmly. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Everyone knows that my son has been pursuing you humbly ever since he met you. How can he contact another woman in private?¡± Mrs. Xu did not believe it. If Xu Yuning really cheated, how could she, as his mother, not know? However, she felt that this woman in the photo looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. ¡°Youyi, it¡¯s not what you think¡­¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s mind went blank. He had thought of 10,000 possibilities regarding Jiang Youyi¡¯s insistence on breaking up with him. Perhaps she was tired of this relationship, or she liked another man, or she was forced to do so. However, he never expected her to discover that he had other women outside. How was that possible? He had always been very careful. Usually, he would pick the dead of night when he met Zhang Meng. He even used his WeChat alternate account to contact her. He had never dared to go to a hotel to get a room. He had always been in Zhang Meng¡¯s apartment, and the two of them had only been together a few times. ¡°Xu Yuning, there¡¯s no point in lying anymore now that things have come to this. If you think that this evidence isn¡¯t enough for you to give up, I have other things. Do you want to see them?¡± Jiang Youyi was very calm from the beginning to the end. She didn¡¯t show any pain from being betrayed and was very organized. ¡°Youyi, can you forgive me this time? I really know my mistake. I was just impulsive, but you will always be the only person I love. Believe me¡­¡± Xu Yuning said these words with difficulty with a sobbing tone. ¡°Son¡­ Is what she said true?¡± Mrs. Xu looked at her son in disbelief. She had never expected things to turn out like this. For a moment, she no longer had the aggressive arrogance from before. Xu Yuning did not know how Jiang Youyi got these things, but the only thing he knew was that he did not want to let go at all. He was not lying about one thing. The only person he loved from the beginning to the end was indeed Jiang Youyi. As for Zhang Meng, he really made a mistake out of passion. After all, five years of consideration and care could not be faked without love. ¡°You knew that this was wrong long ago, but you still did it. This is not a mistake, but your choice. There¡¯s no point in saying this now.¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the man in front of her coldly. ¡°Sister Youyi, calm down first. Our entire family knows how much my brother likes you. Can you forgive him this time? I¡¯ve long treated you as my sister-in-law. I¡¯ll help you keep an eye on him in the future. If he dares to make another mistake, our entire family won¡¯t let him off!¡± Xu Pingping liked her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart because Jiang Youyi was a simple and pure person. ¡°Pingping, if you were me and found out that your fianc¨¦ had an affair when you were about to get married and that woman was pregnant with his child, would you forgive him?¡± Jiang Youyi asked calmly. Xu Pingping couldn¡¯t say a word. If it were her, she would definitely make the other party pay a painful price! Just breaking off the engagement was too easy on him! No woman could tolerate her fianc¨¦ having a mistress before marriage, and that woman was pregnant with his child. Unless it was a marriage that had no love at all and was only formed for benefits. ¡°Youyi, I deserve to die. I really deserve to die¡­¡± Xu Yuning stood up and walked to Jiang Youyi, wanting to hold her hand. Jiang Nian hurriedly stood up and shielded his sister. ¡°Stay away from my sister.¡± ¡°Brother, I swear to you that I¡¯ll treat Youyi well after I get married and won¡¯t make similar mistakes again. Can you help me persuade her?¡± Chapter 13 Not Talking To Fools About Their Shortcomings ¡°Xu Yuning, I didn¡¯t hit you on account that the elders know each other. If it were someone else who cheated on and betrayed my sister, I would have beaten him up long ago, understand?¡± Jiang Nian¡¯s expression was cold. Xu Yuning stood on the spot awkwardly, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Mrs. Xu, who had been silent all this while, also came back to her senses. ¡°In-law, we¡¯ve known each other for a long time. You know what kind of person our family is. Yuning has indeed gone overboard in this matter, but I can guarantee you that no matter how he plays outside, those people are just putting on an act. Youyi will always be the legitimate wife of our Xu Family. As long as she¡¯s willing to marry into our family, her status will never be shaken.¡± ¡°Who are you trying to disgust?¡± Mrs. Jiang couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°If your daughter is betrayed, are you going to make her forgive the other party?¡± ¡°Mom, forget it.¡± Jiang Youyi persuaded her mother. It was meaningless to talk too much to someone like Xu Yuning¡¯s mother. This was the logic of not arguing with fools. ¡°Auntie, I¡¯ve already given you the explanation you want. The truth is what everyone sees. On the account that I¡¯ve known Xu Yuning for five years, I won¡¯t publicize this matter. After all, the impact is too great. Hence, I hope that the matter of me breaking off the engagement can end here. Don¡¯t let the public opinion ferment anymore. If it really blows up, Xu Yuning will definitely lose more than me. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°What do you mean? What does public opinion have to do with us?¡± Mrs. Xu looked confused, as if she was very innocent. Jiang Youyi only smiled and did not expose the other party. ¡°Since the two of us have broken up, we¡¯ll return the betrothal gifts to you. I called off the engagement in public to avenge myself. Our families don¡¯t owe each other anything. Although our family isn¡¯t as rich as yours, we don¡¯t have the habit of asking for compensation for mental damage.¡± Jiang Youyi was obviously talking about Mrs. Xu¡¯s compensation just now. It was rare for Mrs. Xu not to argue with her, and her old face was red. ¡°Youyi, I¡¯ll apologize to you officially.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s father was a sensible person. Since his son had done something wrong, they should apologize to her. ¡°Uncle, you don¡¯t have to apologize to me. After all, we¡¯re not officially married yet. Although Xu Yuning did something unethical in this matter, he didn¡¯t break the law at the end of the day. Perhaps we¡¯re not fated.¡± Jiang Youyi usually didn¡¯t talk much and didn¡¯t communicate much with her family. She didn¡¯t expect her to go head-to-head with Mrs. Xu today and retorted so much that Mrs. Xu couldn¡¯t even raise her head. Jiang Nian and his wife, who were afraid that their sister would be bullied by the Xu family, couldn¡¯t hide the surprise in their eyes. Not to mention them, even Jiang Yunfei and his wife felt that their youngest daughter today seemed to be a completely different person from before. ¡°Youyi, can we not break up¡­¡± Seeing that Jiang Youyi was determined to break up, Xu Yuning¡¯s tears fell. ¡°No. Since we¡¯ve cleared the air, there¡¯s no need for us to stay any longer. The betrothal gifts will be transferred back to your accounts within 24 hours. There will be a message reminder then. We¡¯ll also get someone to send the things you bought back to you.¡± ¡°Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, let¡¯s go home.¡± Jiang Youyi finished saying what she wanted to say and turned to look at her family gently. Just like that, the five members of the Jiang Family turned around and left without looking back. ¡°Youyi, I¡¯ll only ask you one last question. Did you investigate me and break up with me because you really fell in love with Lu Yunxiao?¡± At this point, Xu Yuning was still very concerned about what Jiang Youyi had said on the wedding day. Although he knew very well that Jiang Youyi had never interacted with Lu Yunxiao in the past, he still wanted to hear her deny it herself. He knew that he had no right to be jealous now, but he just wanted to ask. Jiang Youyi looked at the man in front of her in disappointment. ¡°Xu Yuning, I really regret being with you.¡± After saying this coldly, Jiang Youyi turned around and left. Walking out of the Rose Garden, Jiang Nian couldn¡¯t help but give Jiang Youyi a thumbs up. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a glib tongue. If I had known that you could handle it yourself, your sister-in-law and I wouldn¡¯t have followed you here. We even specially postponed the meeting.¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t come, I might not have been so powerful. This might be the bonus of kinship.¡± Jiang Youyi raised her eyebrows slightly, making Jiang Nian and his wife laugh uncontrollably. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell your family about such a big thing?¡± Jiang Yunfei felt sorry for his daughter, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly. He could only sigh helplessly. Chapter 14 How Dare You? ¡°Dad, Youyi isn¡¯t young anymore. She can handle it herself. By the way, where did you get all the evidence?¡± Jiang Nian asked curiously. ¡°It was¡­ found by a random private detective.¡± ¡°The two of you were getting along well previously. Why did you suddenly think of investigating him? You¡¯re not such a suspicious person,¡± Jiang Nian asked. ¡°A friend of mine said that she saw them on the street once. She asked me to be careful, so I got someone to investigate.¡± ¡°Child, you¡¯re too impulsive. Since you know what kind of person he is, why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier? Why did you have to wait until the wedding to cause such a scene and embarrass the Xu Family? Fortunately, Xu Hao is someone who knows what¡¯s good for him and he didn¡¯t argue with us. Otherwise, this city is so small and everyone will see each other frequently. That¡¯s not good.¡± Jiang Yunfei had lived for so long and always felt that there was no need to be ruthless. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dad. I was too impulsive.¡± Jiang Youyi admitted her mistake obediently. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Why are you still blaming the child at a time like this? People like you are the saints that the Internet talks about. He¡¯s already riding on our heads and pooping, yet you¡¯re still letting your daughter be indifferent? Daughter, don¡¯t listen to your father. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with what you did!¡± Mrs. Jiang felt that her daughter did nothing wrong. ¡°Are you sure you want to break up with Xu Yuning? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ll soften your heart once he apologizes and admits his mistake?¡± Jiang Nian felt that the biggest problem with girls was that they were easily soft-hearted. They had all seen clearly how Xu Yuning had tried all means to woo Jiang Youyi in the past five years. He was worried that his sister would soften her heart and be hurt by that scumbag again. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. Since I already know that he¡¯s a pile of dog shit, he¡¯s still a pile of dog shit no matter how gorgeous he packages himself. I won¡¯t give him a chance to hurt me again.¡± ¡°Haha, well said. I¡¯m relieved.¡± Jiang Nian laughed loudly. He was very satisfied with his sister¡¯s attitude and left with his wife. Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Youyi went to look for her best friend, Zhong Xiaohui, who was the bridesmaid Jiang Youyi left behind on the day she escaped from the marriage. Zhong Xiaohui¡¯s family was also a well-off family. Their family had a small business. Although they were not rich, they did not have to worry about food and clothing. The two of them had played together since they were seven or eight years old. Even when Jiang Youyi went overseas for eight years, the two of them contacted each other almost every day. Zhong Xiaohui even went overseas to visit her alone one summer vacation. In Zhong Xiaohui¡¯s office, Jiang Youyi told her everything. Zhong Xiaohui was stunned when she heard it. ¡°Little ancestor, why didn¡¯t I realize that you were actually so valiant in the past?¡± Jiang Youyi smiled and did not say anything. Zhong Xiaohui pretended to be angry and glared at Jiang Youyi. ¡°You still have the cheek to laugh? You stood me up the first time I was a bridesmaid in my life. Don¡¯t you know that I was dumbfounded at the scene!¡± ¡°I was wrong. Didn¡¯t I come to apologize to you personally? I¡¯ll treat you to delicious food to compensate you, okay?¡± ¡°You want to bribe me with just some food?¡± Zhong Xiaohui rolled her eyes at her. ¡°How about I treat you to a month¡¯s worth of food?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really not that good.¡± ¡°What about three months?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you some face.¡± Zhong Xiaohui couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and let Jiang Youyi coax her with a few words. The two of them chatted for a while before Zhong Xiaohui suddenly thought of another man. ¡°Baby, when did you meet Lu Yunxiao? Why didn¡¯t I know?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know each other.¡± ¡°Stop lying. Didn¡¯t you confess to him at the wedding?¡± ¡°Actually, I¡¯m just spouting nonsense.¡± Actually, Jiang Youyi was feeling very regretful. At that time, she only thought that Lu Yunxiao was someone the Xu Family couldn¡¯t afford to offend, so she said it casually. However, she forgot that Lu Yunxiao was also someone she couldn¡¯t afford to offend. There were so many people in Ocean City. She could have said anybody¡¯s name, but she had to mention that big shot¡¯s name. Wasn¡¯t she causing trouble for herself? ¡°Darn it¡­ You¡¯re really bold. You came up with the biggest scam.¡± Zhong Xiaohui admired her from the bottom of her heart and gave her a thumbs up. ¡°But have you ever thought about what will happen if Lu Yunxiao gets angry and takes revenge on you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. He¡¯s so busy every day. Would he have the time to be angry with a small fry like me?¡± As she spoke, Jiang Youyi suddenly recalled the scene of her meeting with Lu Yunxiao that day. She had indeed never met Lu Yunxiao before that. Lu Yunxiao was definitely the most mysterious existence in Ocean City. He was so mysterious that he had been sitting on the throne of the richest man for a few years. Most people still didn¡¯t know what he looked like. He never accepted media interviews or participated in public events. In fact, many employees in his company had never seen him before. Chapter 15 I Won¡¯t Talk Anymore The Internet revealed that there was a president¡¯s private elevator in the 100-story skyscraper of Qihe Corporation that ordinary employees had never seen before. Jiang Youyi actually dared to scam him when even ordinary middle-level employees under him could not meet him? ¡°As a friend, I have to remind you to choose a way to die as soon as possible.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to die.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t a matter of whether you want to or not. Lu Yunxiao definitely won¡¯t let you off. Why don¡¯t we do this? I¡¯ll book a plane ticket for you and you can go overseas? He won¡¯t be able to find you overseas, right? When he forgets about this, you can come back secretly.¡± Although Zhong Xiaohui had never interacted with Lu Yunxiao, she had heard many legends about him. She had even heard that Lu Yunxiao had been the president of the corporation at a young age. Ever since he took office, many senior executives of the corporation had disappeared for no reason, so many people guessed that those people might not be in this world anymore. It was best to stay far away from a dangerous man like him. ¡°Are you biased against him?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not prejudice. I really don¡¯t think he¡¯s someone we can afford to offend.¡± ¡°Have you seen too many marketing accounts?¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw her nervous expression. ¡°Sister, get this straight. Which crazy marketing account dares to expose his information? I just said that their family is quite complicated. Moreover, he¡¯s a ruthless person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. You¡¯d better be careful.¡± To be honest, Jiang Youyi did not take Zhong Xiaohui¡¯s words to heart. Moreover, she only said that she liked Lu Yunxiao at the wedding that day. To be honest, there were countless women in Ocean City who liked him. There were girls writing essays to confess to him on social media every day. Did he have to clean up every one of them? Besides, the two of them had met yesterday. The two of them¡­ chatted quite happily, right? Of course, chatting happily was just Jiang Youyi¡¯s imagination. A certain big shot who had been labeled a good person did not feel happy¡­ Jiang Youyi¡¯s Weibo on her wedding day had fallen into chaos. There was even an extreme female fan who got a wedding dress from somewhere and wore it to the entrance of Qihe Corporation. She shouted through a loudspeaker, ¡°Lu Yunxiao, I¡¯ve loved you for many years. Please give me a chance.¡± Such a dramatic and ridiculous thing was caused by Jiang Youyi¡¯s words. At the same time, Lu Yunxiao, who was being discussed by the two best friends, was soaking in an open-air hot spring in the suburbs of Ocean City. Deer¡¯s Cry Hot Springs was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s favorite place to relax. Its behind-the-scenes boss was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s good friend, Wang Jiangbei, a rich man who had no desire to earn money. There was also a person called Lin Feng with them today. His family was in the investment industry and he was also a very interesting person. ¡°Jiangbei, did you see the news about Brother Xiao? He has completely become a hot topic in Ocean City.¡± Lin Feng scrolled through Weibo and asked in a low voice. ¡°Hasn¡¯t he always been a hot topic in Ocean City?¡± Wang Jiangbei smiled. ¡°It¡¯s different this time. Xu Yuning¡¯s girlfriend called off the engagement in public at the wedding. She even said that the person she really loved was Brother Xiao. It was too exciting. You don¡¯t know how the Xu Family¡¯s faces turned green at that time.¡± Lin Feng had always disliked the Xu Family¡¯s actions. When he found out about this, his first reaction was to think that their family deserved it. After laughing, he asked fearlessly, ¡°Brother Xiao, you and Xu Yuning¡¯s little girlfriend, no, she¡¯s already your ex-girlfriend. When did the two of you hook up?¡± ¡°Have you lived long enough? How dare you ask him such things?¡± Wang Jiangbei held a cigarette between his fingers and chuckled. Lin Feng¡¯s face was full of determination. ¡°This is called sacrificing myself for knowledge. Brother Xiao doesn¡¯t even have a female animal by his side all these years, let alone a woman. Everyone is saying that Brother Xiao likes men. Now, Brother Xiao can finally avenge his previous humiliation. So, Brother Xiao, when did the two of you hook up?¡± Even Wang Jiangbei wanted to kick Lin Feng, let alone Lu Yunxiao. The private pool fell into a strange silence. After a few minutes, Lu Yunxiao slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Feng¡¯s face. He asked, ¡°What color do you like?¡± ¡°Black¡­ Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± Lin Feng did not know why. ¡°Nothing. I just wanted to give you a gift.¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly. ¡°Why are you suddenly giving me a gift for no reason? There¡¯s no need to spend money, right?¡± ¡°Silly, is he giving you a gift? He¡¯s customizing an urn for you!¡± Wang Jiangbei, who had always known Lu Yunxiao, suddenly laughed out loud. ¡°Brother, I know I was wrong. I won¡¯t say anything else.¡± Lin Feng hurriedly apologized. Chapter 16 Do You Dare to Bet? ¡°Speaking of which, the Xu Family spent a lot of money on this wedding. Based on my understanding of them, they won¡¯t let the Jiang Family off easily, let alone Third Miss Jiang.¡± Wang Jiangbei suddenly said. The Jiang Family could barely be considered a high-class family in Ocean City. Their eldest son and second daughter were also famous in the business world and the entertainment industry. Only Third Miss Jiang had an extremely low presence. If not for this matter, many people would not have known that the Jiang Family had a third daughter. Therefore, when Wang Jiangbei mentioned her, he didn¡¯t even know her name. He only called her Third Miss Jiang. Lin Feng nodded as well. ¡°That¡¯s right. Xu Yuning¡¯s father is not an easy person to talk to. Including Xu Yuning, he¡¯s not an easy person to deal with. How can he let it go after losing face in front of so many people? Moreover, the Xu Family is much more powerful than the Jiang Family. If not for the superstar Jiang Youtian, it would be difficult for the Jiang Family to even enter the upper-class circle. They definitely won¡¯t be able to win against the Xu Family.¡± There were many rich people in Ocean City, but there were only a few families with power and background. The Jiang Family could barely squeeze into the ordinary upper-class circle, so how could they have the ability to compete with the Xu Family? Among the Jiang Family¡¯s businesses, only two department stores were operating quite well. The other small businesses were not worth mentioning. Moreover, this was the era of e-commerce, and the physical industry was gradually declining. With such a disparity in family background, the third daughter of the Jiang Family would definitely make the Xu Family bear a grudge and deliberately take revenge after she rashly fled the marriage and embarrassed the Xu Family in public. ¡°Brother Xiao, what do you think?¡± Lin Feng was very curious about Lu Yunxiao¡¯s opinion on this matter. After all, the big shot¡¯s judgment was unquestionable. ¡°The Xu family doesn¡¯t dare to pursue the matter anymore.¡± ¡°How can that be? Let¡¯s not talk about the millions of yuan loss for now. They were slapped in the face in public. There¡¯s no way they can let this matter go just like that.¡± Lin Feng shook his head. Now that the public opinion had fermented to this extent, the entire Ocean City knew that Third Miss Jiang had stood Xu Yuning up. He had lost all his face. He did not believe that the Xu Family could take this lying down. As for why Lin Feng was so certain, it was because his family¡¯s Old Master had fought with Xu Hao, who was also Xu Yuning¡¯s father, in the business world. He was really a difficult opponent and not a pushover. At this moment, Lu Yunxiao had already gotten up from the pool, revealing his strong muscles. The waiter beside him quickly handed him a towel and put it on him. ¡°Do you want to bet on something? Let¡¯s bet that the Xu Family won¡¯t do anything else,¡± Lu Yunxiao said calmly. ¡°Sure! Let¡¯s bet on that new cruise ship you bought. Do you dare to bet? Give it to me if you lose.¡± Lin Feng had been thinking about that cruise ship for a long time and finally found an opportunity. ¡°I¡¯ll be your witness.¡± Wang Jiangbei was smart enough to stay out of their fight. ¡°Jiangbei, why are you so cowardly? I admit that Brother Xiao has great foresight, but you have to believe me on this matter. The Xu family will definitely not let that young lady off easily. Hurry up and rip Brother Xiao off with me.¡± Lin Feng felt that he would win for sure. He had even thought of where to take that cruise ship to fish. ¡°Gambling is risky. I won¡¯t get involved in your business.¡± Wang Jiangbei said faintly, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, what if you lose? What will you give him?¡± ¡°I definitely won¡¯t lose. Our Old Master has fought with Xu Yuning¡¯s father for many years. No one in this world knows their family better than me.¡± Lin Feng was confident. ¡°What if you really lose?¡± At this moment, Lu Yunxiao had already put on his bathrobe. As he fastened his belt unhurriedly, he said casually, ¡°If you lose, your Fugui will be my watchdog.¡± Lin Feng gasped. ¡°Are you crazy? That¡¯s my father¡¯s dear son. He hugs that little thing to sleep every day. Even his profile picture is it. Besides, what¡¯s the use of a dog? Can¡¯t I just give you two bodyguards?¡± ¡°So do you dare to bet?¡± Lu Yunxiao glanced at him calmly. Lin Feng gritted his teeth. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? I¡¯ll bet! Anyway, I won¡¯t lose!¡± As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the corners of Lu Yunxiao¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°You¡¯re young and frivolous. You know that there¡¯s a tiger in the mountains, but you¡¯re so bold.¡± Wang Jiangbei shook his head and sighed. *** It was already six in the evening when Jiang Youyi and Zhong Xiaohui returned home after dinner. When Jiang Youyi entered, she only saw her parents sitting in the dining room eating dinner. ¡°You¡¯re back? Sit here and eat,¡± Mrs. Jiang said. ¡°I¡¯m not eating, Mom. I ate outside.¡± Jiang Youyi took the slippers from the servant. ¡°Where¡¯s Big Brother and Sister-in-law? Aren¡¯t they at home?¡± ¡°They went to your sister-in-law¡¯s parents¡¯ house for dinner.¡± ¡°Oh, then you can eat with Dad. I¡¯m going upstairs to rest.¡± Chapter 17 Supporting You With All My Might ¡°Wait.¡± Jiang Yunfei suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand and stopped her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Dad?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go upstairs yet. I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Jiang Youyi walked over obediently and sat on the empty chair at the dining table. ¡°What do you plan to do in the future?¡± Jiang Yunfei looked at his slender daughter with mixed feelings. After separating from Jiang Youyi today, he sat alone in the study and thought for a long time. His wife was right. They had let their youngest daughter down the most all these years. Her eldest son had taken over the corporation and was now married very happily. After her second daughter debuted, she had also received his money to support her in filming a movie. She was now a national-level female celebrity. Only Jiang Youyi, who was clearly the youngest in the family, had been ignored by her parents. There were many children in the family. As a father, he could not do everything. However, he still remembered clearly the look in Jiang Youyi¡¯s eyes when she suddenly mentioned that she was going overseas to study. Even now, he could not bear to think about it. At that time, there were many things to do in the company, and he was so busy every day that he did not even have time to eat. His wife also had to be in charge of his eldest son¡¯s studies and his second daughter¡¯s performance and dance classes. Even though there was a nanny at home who was in charge of the children¡¯s lives, they did not do many things. Hence, they spent the shortest time with Jiang Youyi. Eight years had passed. Jiang Youyi had returned from overseas and she was getting married to Xu Yuning. Speaking of which, he was really incompetent as a father. He did not even care about Jiang Youyi half as much as Jiang Nian and Jiang Youtian. Jiang Youyi was stunned for a moment when her father suddenly asked about her future plans. She did not know how to answer. Ever since she returned from overseas, she had not had a job. Perhaps in her parents¡¯ eyes, she had been fooling around. Getting engaged and getting married to Xu Yuning was considered the only major event in the past five years. Now that the wedding was canceled and her boyfriend was gone, she returned to her idle state. ¡°Youyi, I have to apologize to you first. Your mother and I have taken too little care of you all these years. There are many children at home, and you¡¯re studying overseas. Other than giving you daily expenses and school fees, we don¡¯t care enough about you. Now that you¡¯re by Dad and Mom¡¯s side, I want to hear your plans and plans for your future life. If there¡¯s anything Dad and Mom can help you with, we¡¯ll definitely do our best to help you. Or do you want to work in the company? Dad will get your brother to arrange a position for you in the company.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dad. I don¡¯t want to work in the company.¡± Jiang Youyi had seen her brother¡¯s efforts in the company. It was all her brother¡¯s hard work that allowed the company to develop until now. She didn¡¯t want to get involved. ¡°Or is there anything you want to do? Daddy will give you money.¡± ¡°Dad, give me some time to think about it.¡± ¡°Alright, you have to think about it carefully. No matter what you decide to do in the end, Dad will definitely support you fully. Although our family is not a top wealthy family, it¡¯s not a problem to support you in doing what you like. I originally thought that our family would give you 10 million yuan as your dowry when you got married. Now that the wedding has been canceled, this money will still be yours. As for what you want to use it for, as long as it¡¯s not illegal or against morals, Dad and Mom will support you no matter what you do.¡± Hearing her father¡¯s words, Jiang Youyi¡¯s heart warmed. All these years, she was used to her wild life outside, so she felt a little awkward facing her parents¡¯ sudden concern. ¡°Dad, Mom, thank you,¡± Jiang Youyi said seriously. ¡°Master, Madam, Third Missy. Young Master Xu is here. He said that he has something to tell Missy.¡± The housekeeper, Sister Fang, came to report. Upon hearing that Xu Yuning was here again, Jiang Yunfei¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°What else does he have to say?¡± ¡°Send him away. Tell him that Missy is not at home.¡± Mrs. Jiang was also furious. The housekeeper said carefully, ¡°But he saw Third Missy¡¯s car at the door.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll go out and see him.¡± Jiang Youyi knew that the wedding had been canceled too suddenly. Xu Yuning would probably not give up. It was not a solution to hide from him forever. However, Jiang Youyi did not expect something to happen again before she could reach the door. Jiang Youtian was actually back. She had been working in the north these days and did not even have time to attend her younger sister¡¯s wedding. Now, she actually came back silently. Moreover, she did not take the company¡¯s MPV but drove back herself. The flashy Lamborghini was parked at the entrance of the villa, and the roar of the engine could not be ignored. After Jiang Youtian parked the car, she pushed open the door and got out. She was wearing a brown fur coat with a long black dress inside. Her makeup was exquisite, and she was holding the latest limited edition leather bag of a luxury brand in her hand. She looked imposing. Chapter 18 What Do You Like About Me? ¡°Sister, you¡¯re back.¡± Xu Yuning hurriedly went up to get close to her. ¡°Young Master Xu, I¡¯m not worthy of you calling me sister.¡± Jiang Youtian¡¯s expression was extremely cold, not giving him a good look. After the negotiation between the Jiang Family and the Xu Family ended, Mrs. Jiang told her second daughter everything. At that time, Jiang Youtian was busy filming and hung up after a few hurried words. However, no one expected her to rush back the next day. ¡°Sister, I know I was wrong. That¡¯s why I¡¯m here to apologize to Youyi today. I¡¯m here to apologize to Youyi, Uncle, Auntie, and Big Brother on behalf of our entire family.¡± ¡°Save it. Whether you¡¯re representing your entire family or not, has nothing to do with me. But I¡¯m telling you on behalf of the entire Jiang Family now. Stay away from Jiang Youyi in the future. If I find you approaching her again, I¡¯ll break your legs immediately. Do you believe me? You keep saying that you love my sister, but you turned around and let another woman get pregnant with your child. Other than being despicable, I can¡¯t find a better adjective for you.¡± Jiang Youtian scolded Xu Yuning mercilessly. She did not even bother to look at him after that. She walked into the courtyard and locked the door. When she entered the courtyard, she bumped into Jiang Youyi, who had just walked out. Jiang Youtian blocked her way. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to see him. Tell him to get lost as far as possible.¡± ¡°Sister? Aren¡¯t you filming? Why are you suddenly back?¡± Jiang Youyi was puzzled. ¡°I can come back whenever I want.¡± ¡°Then go in quickly. Dad and Mom are eating.¡± Jiang Youyi raised her eyebrows at Jiang Youtian. ¡°You¡¯re dressed so beautifully today. Your red lips are too imposing.¡± ¡°Tiantian is back? I¡¯ll get Sister Fang to cook a few more of your favorite dishes.¡± Mrs. Jiang was overjoyed to see her second daughter, whom she had not seen for a long time. Jiang Yunfei was slightly stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t the production team very busy now?¡± ¡°My baby sister has already been bullied to this extent. As her older sister, how can I still be in the mood to work?¡± Jiang Youtian explained as she changed her shoes. ¡°I¡¯ve told the director that I stayed up late yesterday to film a lot of my scenes, so I made time.¡± ¡°The matter between Youyi and Xu Yuning has been resolved. Your sister is not at a disadvantage,¡± Jiang Yunfei said. ¡°I¡¯ve long disliked that kid. You¡¯re just too innocent. You haven¡¯t been in a relationship for so many years and don¡¯t understand men at all, so you were deceived by him. However, since you stopped your losses in time, things aren¡¯t too bad. However, Jiang Youyi, I¡¯m warning you. You¡¯re definitely not allowed to see that bastard Xu Yuning again.¡± Jiang Youtian¡¯s personality was domineering, but her love for her sister was real. Of course, Jiang Youyi could understand her good intentions. She nodded obediently. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re right. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t see him again.¡± The family of four was chatting happily when Jiang Youyi¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Jiang Youyi looked at the caller ID. It was Zhong Xiaohui. She hurriedly walked to the living room to answer the call. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Xiaohui?¡± ¡°F*ck, the sky is falling! Hurry up and go on Weibo to take a look.¡± ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong with my Weibo? I haven¡¯t logged in for a long time. I almost forgot my password,¡± Jiang Youyi said in confusion. ¡°Aiya, I really don¡¯t know how to explain it to you. Anyway, something big happened. Go take a look yourself.¡± Zhong Xiaohui¡¯s tone was anxious on the phone, making Jiang Youyi anxious. She hurriedly hung up the phone and clicked on Weibo. As she hadn¡¯t played Weibo for a long time, she had almost forgotten her password. In the end, she had to enter her password three times before she could successfully log in. The moment she logged on, she was dumbfounded. Tens of thousands of private messages surged into her Weibo. She clicked on one of them dizzily and realized that the other party had sent her a link to Weibo. She clicked on it and realized that it was a Weibo post posted by Lu Yunxiao half an hour ago. Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°I¡¯m really curious. I wonder what Third Miss Jiang likes about me?¡± Then, he tagged her. Jiang Youyi was speechless. She tried her best not to curse in front of her parents. What was this man doing? Weren¡¯t they chatting nicely in his car that day? Not only did she explain that she unintentionally implicated him, but she also apologized sincerely and flattered him. She thought that he would just let this matter go because they were strangers to begin with. Who would have thought that this person would suddenly go crazy? Her first reaction when she saw this Weibo post was that Lu Yunxiao¡¯s account must have been hacked. That¡¯s right, why would he post such a thing on Weibo? It must have been hacked! At this moment, Jiang Youtian also received a call from her manager. After all, she was from the entertainment industry and was very sensitive to such things. Chapter 19 Extortion On The Trending Searches ¡°Jiang Youyi, come here for a while.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Hearing her second sister call her, she hurriedly followed her with small steps. In order not to let her parents worry, Jiang Youtian brought her upstairs to her bedroom. After entering, Jiang Youtian handed her her cell phone. The lit screen was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Weibo post. ¡°What¡¯s going on between you and him?¡± ¡°We¡­¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t know how to explain it to her. ¡°I heard from Big Brother that you mentioned him at the wedding. Do you really like this person?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like him. I just casually said someone¡¯s name to take revenge on Xu Yuning,¡± Jiang Youyi said honestly. ¡°Nonsense!¡± Jiang Youtian said resentfully, ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for you to escape from Xu Yuning¡¯s misery. Are you still sending yourself to the fire pit?¡± ¡°Second Sister, I really didn¡¯t think too much at that time. I really just said it casually. But why would he post such a thing on Weibo? Didn¡¯t he never respond to any scandals? So was his account hacked?¡± Jiang Youyi guessed tentatively. Jiang Youtian was furious and put away her cell phone. ¡°Do you think their company¡¯s legal and public relations departments are stupid? If it was really a hacked account, they would have reacted long ago. Why did they let this Weibo post stay on the trending searches until now?¡± ¡°That¡­ really¡­¡± Jiang Youyi lowered her head guiltily as she spoke. Especially when she saw Second Sister¡¯s furious expression, she knew that this Weibo post must have been posted by Lu Yunxiao himself. ¡°Youyi, you can like anyone, but you really can¡¯t like Lu Yunxiao. I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± ¡°Sister, I know.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to contact Lu Yunxiao and apologize to him on your behalf. If he¡¯s willing to let it go, I can film an advertisement for their company for free. I hope he won¡¯t stoop to your level.¡± Jiang Youtian had always been a decisive person. As long as she thought that something was right, she would do it without hesitation and even ignore Jiang Youyi¡¯s attitude. Actually, in the eyes of outsiders, the Jiang siblings¡¯ relationship was very ordinary. In the eyes of the family, the three of them were not close. After all, everyone had their own things to do. Jiang Nian already had his own small family, and Jiang Youtian was born aloof and quiet. She rarely contacted her family when she had nothing to do. As for Jiang Youyi, she had been separated from her family for eight years. Usually, she would feel awkward even when she asked about them. However, Jiang Youyi knew very well that no matter where her Second Sister and Big Brother were, they were always thinking about each other and her. ¡°Sister, there¡¯s no need to trouble you. I¡¯ll apologize to him myself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look for him. Lu Yunxiao is too dangerous. As long as he wants to, he can bankrupt our Jiang Family in less than 24 hours and even chase us out of Ocean City.¡± Jiang Youtian felt that Jiang Youyi had underestimated that decisive Young Master Lu. ¡°But I only said one sentence¡­¡± Jiang Youyi was very puzzled. ¡°Are you a fool? Lu Yunxiao has been in the business world for so many years. Many women have tried to climb into his bed but failed. Previously, there was even a small celebrity who wanted to sleep with him. She was suspended by the company the next day. You dragged him into your relationship with Xu Yuning in front of so many wealthy families in Ocean City. How could he let you off?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t lose anything.¡± ¡°Forget it. I can¡¯t explain it to you. Leave this to me.¡± Jiang Youtian felt that her sister had gone crazy from studying overseas. Her brain was different from a normal person¡¯s, so she couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain it to her. After Jiang Youtian went downstairs, Jiang Youyi sat in her bedroom and fiddled with her phone. There were already 99 WeChat messages asking her how she got involved with Lu Yunxiao. The Weibo server had already collapsed, and Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Weibo post had more than a million likes and comments. There were even many people who commented under Jiang Youyi¡¯s previous Weibo. [Aren¡¯t you disgusting? You¡¯re about to get married. Why do you like President Lu?] [I think you¡¯re the one putting on an act for the entire wedding. You just want to rely on Lu Yunxiao¡¯s name to become popular!] [Who is this woman? I¡¯ve never heard of her before. Where did she suddenly appear from?] [Previous poster, she¡¯s the sister of the big star, Jiang Youtian, but she looks very ordinary to me. I don¡¯t know why Young Master Xu is blind and likes her. I think Jiang Youtian and Young Master Lu are quite compatible.] [Previous poster, Jiang Youtian is really top-notch beauty. She¡¯s barely worthy of President Lu.] Chapter 20 I Will Satisfy You There were even people who scolded her at Jiang Youtian¡¯s account. Jiang Youyi really did not understand why Lu Yunxiao posted this Weibo post. If it was just to let her be scolded, wouldn¡¯t he be disturbed too? Moreover, didn¡¯t they already agree on it in the car that day? Why was it like this again? As she was thinking, her brain suddenly twitched. She uncontrollably commented under Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Weibo post¡ª[Some people appear in your life like gifts. I don¡¯t know what I like about you. I only know that at the thought of you, my heart suddenly lit up, and I felt filled with happiness.] Jiang Youyi admitted that she wanted to fight with that man with resentment. The two of them had already agreed, but he suddenly posted on Weibo to make things difficult for her. Wasn¡¯t that his fault? Jiang Youyi had never been a weak person, and she wouldn¡¯t feel humble just because someone¡¯s status was higher than hers. After all, in her eyes, money and power had nothing to do with her. She didn¡¯t have anything to ask of him, so I naturally don¡¯t have to be afraid of him. Coincidentally, it was also because of her strong personality that Xu Yuning couldn¡¯t succeed in gaslighting her many times in the past five years. Instead, he was restrained by Jiang Youyi. On the other hand, after Jiang Youtian spoke to her manager, she began to try all kinds of methods to contact Lu Yunxiao himself. However, she was rejected without hesitation. Seeing that the other party was determined, her heart turned cold. FAt this moment, she thought of someone¡ªLin Feng, the young master of Perfect Pictures. She had long heard that Lu Yunxiao had two good friends in Ocean City. One was the new king of real estate, Wang Jiangbei, and the other was the vice-president of Perfect Pictures, Lin Feng. Only these two people could talk to him. Previously, she had interacted with Lin Feng at a movie¡¯s pre-screening and even left their contact details. Jiang Youtian hurriedly found his number and called him. However, she did not expect her sister to cause so much trouble in the time it took her to make a call. Jiang Youyi thought that Lu Yunxiao would ignore her after she replied. After all, he was a busy president. Such a big shot shouldn¡¯t continue to argue with her, right? However, in a few seconds, Jiang Youyi received another reply from him. He was probably worried that she wouldn¡¯t be able to see it, so he deliberately tagged her. Lu Yunxiao: [Since you like me so much, I¡¯ll satisfy you. @Jiang Youyi.] Jiang Youyi: ??? As expected, the Weibo server was paralyzed again. The technical young man, who had already gotten off work, pitifully returned to the company to work overtime. Countless girls cried that they had fallen out of love. Only Jiang Youyi wanted to leave this world quietly¡­ Her cell phone rang non-stop, causing it to run out of battery. All the aunties and friends ran over to ask. Jiang Youyi was frightened and ran back to her room, not daring to show her face. However, she was still very timid. She secretly sent a private message to Young Master Lu¡ª[Shameless people are invincible, alright?] In the Xu Family¡¯s courtyard, Xu Pingping looked at the content on the screen in shock before sending it to her brother. Xu Yuning¡¯s eyes darkened after reading it. ¡°Brother, could it be that Sister Youyi really likes Lu Yunxiao? That¡¯s why she insisted on breaking up with you¡­¡± ¡°No, she¡¯s just angry with me and wants to take revenge on me. She won¡¯t like anyone else.¡± ¡°Revenge on you? She doesn¡¯t have to use such a method, right?¡± Xu Pingping felt that her brother was really hopeless in love. Although he said that, Xu Yuning could not calm down anymore. Knowing that all his contact details had been blocked and deleted, he took his sister¡¯s cell phone and kept calling Jiang Youyi. ¡°Young Master, Old Master wants you to meet him in the study,¡± the helper at home stood at the door and said softly. ¡°Got it.¡± Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Xu Yuning hung up unwillingly and walked downstairs absent-mindedly. His mind was filled with Jiang Youyi¡¯s Weibo post about her confession to Lu Yunxiao. His heart ached and he felt embarrassed. He had known Jiang Youyi for five years, but she had never said such words to him to express her feelings. But she and Lu Yunxiao had clearly never met before. Youyi, am I not as good as a stranger whom I¡¯ve never met in the five years I¡¯ve been by your side? Xu Yuning was not in the mood to listen to his father now, but he still obediently walked to sit opposite him. ¡°We can¡¯t keep that woman¡¯s child outside.¡± Xu Yuning looked up and realized who the woman his father was talking about was. ¡°Why can¡¯t we keep him? Our son is already so old and should be at the age to start a family and start a career. Even if he¡¯s not married, it¡¯s not a problem for him to have a child. If it¡¯s a boy, we can bring him back and raise him. It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have money.¡± Mrs. Xu knew that she might have a grandson and she was very happy. Chapter 21 Can¡¯t Keep This Child Mr. Xu stood up and slammed the table heavily. ¡°What are you talking about?! Our child is insensible, but aren¡¯t you insensible too? If he¡¯s born without a status, he¡¯s not a child of our Xu Family. He¡¯s a bastard! Our child has to be born in a proper marriage! As for that woman, she just wants to become rich because of her son, so this child has to be aborted.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get her to abort it.¡± ¡°What do you plan to do next?¡± Seeing that his son had agreed to abort the child, Mr. Xu¡¯s expression improved. ¡°I still want to marry Youyi.¡± With a bang, Mrs. Xu smashed a glass. ¡°She made it sound so unpleasant, but you still want to be with her? Is there something wrong with your brain?¡± ¡°Mom, no matter what you say today, I want to marry Jiang Youyi.¡± ¡°Then why are you still fooling around outside? You can¡¯t blame her for canceling the wedding now. You can only blame yourself!¡± Mrs. Xu even wanted to slap him to wake him up. ¡°The woman was just my impulsive mistake. I have no feelings for her. I only love Youyi.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s put this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to get that woman to abort the child quickly and give her a sum of money to leave the corporation.¡± ¡°Got it, Dad.¡± After talking to his parents, Xu Yuning drove to look for Zhang Meng. At this moment, Zhang Meng was still sitting at home, fantasizing about her life as a rich lady who would soar into the sky in the future. She did not know that everyone already knew about the existence of her child. In just one year, she entered the headquarters of the Xu Corporation and was even promoted and given a raise. Xu Yuning even bought her a high-end apartment. Her life now was completely different from before. Zhang Meng could not be said to have exquisite and beautiful facial features, but she was a very charming woman. From a young age, she knew that her obedience and smile could save her a lot of detours. However, she still had to put in a lot of effort to catch a big fish like Xu Yuning. Everyone in the corporation knew that Xu Yuning had a beautiful girlfriend whom he had liked for five years. Hence, Zhang Meng could only lower Xu Yuning¡¯s guard bit by bit when everyone was drunk during the team building. In the end, under the ambiguous atmosphere and Zhang Meng¡¯s seduction, the two of them naturally rolled onto the bed. After that, she deliberately did not take any medicine. Indeed, the heavens had blessed her and made her pregnant with Xu Yuning¡¯s child. Hence, when Zhang Meng opened the door and saw Xu Yuning, she went up to hug him and buried her head in his firm shoulder. ¡°Yuning, you haven¡¯t come to see me for a few days. I thought you didn¡¯t want me anymore.¡± ¡°I came here today to tell you something.¡± Xu Yuning was not in the mood to date her now. He pulled the woman off him mercilessly and walked into the living room with his shoes on. Zhang Meng had always been good at reading people¡¯s expressions. She could tell that there was something wrong with his attitude. ¡°Yuning, do you want something to drink?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for anything. I¡¯ll leave after saying a few words.¡± ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Zhang Meng nodded obediently. However, in the next second, she suddenly started retching. She covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes turned red. Xu Yuning did not say anything, but he had mixed feelings. ¡°I¡¯ve had serious morning sickness recently. I thought it was because the baby was not feeling well. However, the doctor told me that the more serious the morning sickness is, the healthier the baby will be. Looks like there¡¯s a naughty boy in my stomach. When he comes out, you must help me beat his butt.¡± She was deliberately hinting to Xu Yuning that the child in her stomach was a boy. Xu Yuning let out a shaky breath and said, ¡°My parents already know about the two of us.¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhang Meng was very surprised. Her eyes widened. ¡°Not only my parents, but even Youyi and her entire family already know. Youyi got someone to investigate you some time ago. She even saw your prenatal checkup. That¡¯s why she wanted to break up with me.¡± ¡°How could this be¡­¡± Zhang Meng looked a little confused. ¡°Yuning, don¡¯t tell me you suspect that I deliberately told Third Miss Jiang about us? I really didn¡¯t. I¡¯ve never dreamed of getting any status. I just want to love you silently¡­¡± Xu Yuning sighed. ¡°I know it wasn¡¯t you. This has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡­ If it weren¡¯t for me, Third Miss Jiang wouldn¡¯t have broken up with you. I¡¯m a scourge as long as I¡¯m alive. I might as well die.¡± Zhang Meng cried as her tears fell to the ground. She firmly believed that no man would not be soft-hearted when they saw her tear-stained appearance. Xu Yuning was no exception. Chapter 22 This B*tch Is Really Capable ¡°Don¡¯t say that. I was wrong. Zhang Meng, we can¡¯t keep this child.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s words were like a bolt from the blue to Zhang Meng. ¡°This is my father¡¯s request. Moreover, you can¡¯t continue working in the corporation.¡± Hearing Xu Yuning¡¯s words, Zhang Meng¡¯s heart fell to the bottom. She did not expect things to change so much in such a short period of time. It seemed like she had underestimated her enemy in the past. That b*tch Jiang Youyi was really capable. Zhang Meng was a smart person. She knew that no matter what she did now, she could not change the outcome of aborting the child. If she insisted on making a fuss, she would make Xu Yuning unhappy. She might as well agree and make Xu Yuning feel guilty towards her. She cried and grabbed Xu Yuning¡¯s hand. ¡°Yuning, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Seeing that she had agreed so readily, Xu Yuning felt a little guilty. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t let you suffer for nothing. I¡¯ll give you a sum of money as compensation for you.¡± Zhang Meng shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t need compensation. It¡¯s enough for you to care for me and treat me well during this period of time. It¡¯s my blessing to have a child with you. I can¡¯t let him descend into this world because I did something wrong. I have no complaints.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be like this¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Yuning, you don¡¯t have to feel guilty about me. I don¡¯t want your money. But can you not leave me? I¡¯m willing to accompany you without a status for the rest of my life. Whether you get married or have children in the future, I won¡¯t affect your family. I just want to be with you. I can go out and find other jobs in the future. The money I earn is enough to support myself. But I don¡¯t want to leave you.¡± Seeing that Zhang Meng agreed to two conditions directly, Xu Yuning could not say anything too hurtful. ¡°I¡¯ll reconcile with Youyi. Don¡¯t waste time on me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a waste of time to be with you. I¡¯m very happy. If the two of you reconcile, I promise that I won¡¯t appear in front of Third Miss Jiang for the rest of my life and won¡¯t cause you any trouble.¡± Zhang Meng was crying so hard that Xu Yuning couldn¡¯t bear to look at her. ¡°Even if you agree, Youyi won¡¯t agree to us meeting again.¡± Xu Yuning was still dreaming. He thought that if he married Jiang Youyi, she definitely wouldn¡¯t allow another woman to be by his side. ¡°On your wedding day, I¡¯ll go far away and not disturb your lives. Is that okay?¡± Xu Yuning was a little surprised. ¡°But if the two of you don¡¯t get together in the end, can you let me continue to be by your side, Yuning?¡± Zhang Meng pleaded. Xu Yuning¡¯s psychological defense was completely broken. ¡°Alright, if Youyi is unwilling to marry me, you can stay. Although I can¡¯t give you anything, at least you won¡¯t have to worry about your livelihood.¡± At this moment, Xu Yuning¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts. If he could not marry Jiang Youyi, it did not matter who he was with in the future. At that time, even if there were other women, who could criticize him, let alone Zhang Meng? Which rich person had never kept a few women outside? At the end of the day, Jiang Youyi¡¯s moral bottom line was too high and she could not accept the unspoken rules between adults. On the other hand, because of Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Weibo post and Jiang Youyi¡¯s bold comments, all the social media platforms were ignited. This matter became the biggest news in Ocean City in decades. Its limelight had already vaguely overshadowed the Xu Family¡¯s annulment a few days ago. And because of the unpredictable relationship between the two of them, the shares of the two companies soared. The Lu Family¡¯s Qihe Corporation had securities, financial management, insurance, and more than 10 other private banks. Their shares had all soared. The Jiang Family was even more unexpected. Originally, they only had two department stores. Their shares, which had been stagnant over the years, had increased from 3.6 to 49, more than 10 times. Many big shots in the stock market were dumbfounded. They only hated themselves for not paying attention to the Jiang Family¡¯s stocks when they were at a low price. Everyone in the Jiang Family was dumbfounded. What was going on? ¡°Youyi, come out for a while.¡± Jiang Youtian looked serious after contacting a few people. Jiang Youyi was terrified, thinking that Second Sister would definitely break her legs now. Unexpectedly, Jiang Youtian sized her up and said to her, ¡°Go change into a prettier gown and follow me somewhere.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a gown.¡± Jiang Youtian rolled her eyes helplessly. If she wasn¡¯t her biological sister, she wouldn¡¯t have bothered with this brat¡¯s nonsense. ¡°I¡¯ll lend you one of mine. You can wear it first.¡± Jiang Youtian returned to her bedroom and found a gown that was more suitable for Jiang Youyi. It was off-shoulder, black at the top, and white at the bottom. The top part had exquisite embroidery and bubble sleeves, and the skirt was filled with feminine creases. Chapter 23 Sorry ¡°Sister, where are you taking me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Jiang Youtian didn¡¯t have time to explain this to her now. She wanted to take her out before her parents realized that her sister was on the trending searches. At the same time, in a high-end private club in Ocean City. ¡°The outcome has been decided. When will your Fugui be on duty?¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled and looked at Lin Feng. ¡°That¡¯s not fair. Brother Lu, you¡¯re cheating. You were flirting with that girl on Weibo. How can the Xu Family still dare to provoke her?¡± ¡°A loss is a loss.¡± ¡°Alright, even if I lose, you won unfairly,¡± Lin Feng said casually with a cigarette in his hand. At this moment, the club¡¯s general manager knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Director Lin, the guest you invited is at the door.¡± ¡°Quick, let them in.¡± Lin Feng threw away the cigarette in his hand and stood up to receive it excitedly. ¡°Who are you meeting?¡± Wang Jiangbei asked in confusion. The three of them were meeting alone today. Usually, no one would bring outsiders along. This was an unwritten rule between them. He did not expect Lin Feng to make an exception today. Wang Jiangbei observed Lu Yunxiao¡¯s reaction from the corner of his eye, but Lu Yunxiao still looked expressionless. He had always been like this. He never showed his emotions, so no one could tell what he was thinking. Lin Feng quickly brought her in. Wang Jiangbei was shocked when he saw that it was Jiang Youtian. However, he was dumbfounded when he saw the woman behind Jiang Youtian. Why did Lin Feng bring her here? ¡°Tiantian, let¡¯s get to know each other. This is Lu Yunxiao, President Lu. This is President Wang, and he¡¯s also my good brother.¡± Jiang Youtian had become famous at a young age and had been in the entertainment industry for many years. Moreover, she was still active on the big screen after so many years. Naturally, she knew the ways of the world. She smiled and greeted him. ¡°President Lu, President Wang, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± ¡°Jiang Youtian, you¡¯re prettier in person than on camera.¡± Wang Jiangbei had always been polite. ¡°Thank you. Since I¡¯m eating this bowl of rice, I have to work harder on my face.¡± Wang Jiangbei had seen many celebrities, but very few of them answered his praises so generously like Jiang Youtian. He couldn¡¯t help but look at her in a new light. Jiang Youtian took the opportunity to push her sister forward. Jiang Youyi lowered her head, wishing she could bury it in the ground. Oh my god, if she knew that Second Sister had brought her to see Lu Yunxiao, she would definitely not have followed. ¡°Haha, your younger sister is much more popular than you now,¡± Lin Feng couldn¡¯t help but tease. Seeing that Wang Jiangbei did not speak and the most important figure, Lu Yunxiao, did not speak, Jiang Youtian pushed her sister out. ¡°Youyi, apologize to President Lu.¡± ¡°Sister, I¡­¡± ¡°Hurry up and apologize. You¡¯re too rude.¡± After saying that, Jiang Youtian glanced at Lu Yunxiao and pretended to be calm. ¡°President Lu, I haven¡¯t been able to contact you personally, so I boldly asked President Lin to set up a meeting. I hope I didn¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°My sister has been studying overseas previously and doesn¡¯t know anything about the ways of the world. She does have a conflict with the Xu Family, but she shouldn¡¯t have implicated you no matter what. She is really too rash. My parents and I have already reprimanded her at home. I hope you can not lower yourself to her level.¡± Jiang Youtian was dressed appropriately today, and Jiang Youyi was dressed even more cutely and tenderly. The sisters did not have any ulterior motive, nor did they try to exchange for anything with their beauty. They were dressed simply and conservatively, so that the other party would not think that they did not value this meeting. Jiang Youtian¡¯s behavior was very sincere and not fake at all. She really just wanted her sister to apologize to Lu Yunxiao. That was all. Besides, not many people could get Lin Feng to help them. No matter what Jiang Youtian did, she did it. This meant that Jiang Youtian was indeed capable and not just a pretty vase. ¡°What are you thinking about? Apologize quickly.¡± Seeing that her sister had yet to speak, Jiang Youtian could not help but urge her. Jiang Youyi actually wanted to explain that this matter was not her fault at all. It was clearly the other party who posted on Weibo first. However, she knew that her sister did it for her own good. She also knew that Second Sister must have put in a lot of effort to make her stand here and apologize to Lu Yunxiao. She didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for her sister, so even though she was unwilling, she still walked forward obediently. She lowered her head and lowered her eyes. ¡°President Lu, I¡¯m sorry.¡± After she said this, Lu Yunxiao did not react for a few minutes and only looked at her quietly. Jiang Youyi wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and leave this place, so she bowed deeply to Lu Yunxiao again. This bow directly made Lin Feng lose his composure. ¡°Your sister is so fun,¡± Lin Feng whispered as he approached Jiang Youtian. Chapter 24 Do You Know What You¡¯re Saying? Jiang Youtian did not respond to him. Her mind was filled with worry. What if Lu Yunxiao really did not intend to forgive her sister? With his power, it would not be a problem for their entire Jiang Family to disappear from Ocean City overnight. Wang Jiangbei, on the other hand, had been sizing up Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao from the corner of his eye. He was expressionless, but he found it funny. It had been a long time since he had seen such an interesting scene. After a few minutes, Lu Yunxiao said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s too insincere to just apologize.¡± ¡°Then what do you want me to do?¡± Jiang Youyi straightened her neck. ¡°Why don¡¯t you beat me up to vent your anger?¡± Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxiao said something shocking in the next second. ¡°I won¡¯t fuss about it after you kiss me.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Jiang Youyi thought that there was something wrong with her ears, so she asked again. At this moment, Jiang Youtian and Lin Feng were dumbfounded. They did not expect Lu Yunxiao to go so far. Lu Yunxiao looked at the young lady in front of him, who was frowning slightly. He couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°I don¡¯t want to repeat myself. You¡¯ve already heard it, right?¡± Jiang Youyi grabbed her skirt awkwardly. ¡°President Lu, are you joking with me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m serious, Jiang Youyi. You have to apologize with a good attitude.¡± His voice was magnetic and pleasant to the ear. Jiang Youyi was in an inappropriate daze. She actually felt that the other party¡¯s voice was especially seductive when he said her name. Previously, when she was with Xu Yuning, he often called her name affectionately, but she had never felt anything. Facing this man she had only met once, she actually started to feel nervous when she heard him call her name with a smile. ¡°President Lu, it¡¯s like this¡ª¡± Jiang Youtian wanted to help her sister out, but Lu Yunxiao looked at her coldly with an impatient expression. Jiang Youtian could only shut up obediently and stand at the side as a background. Seeing Jiang Youtian¡¯s troubled expression, Lin Feng lowered his voice and comforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Brother Lu isn¡¯t a bad person. He won¡¯t make things difficult for your sister.¡± Jiang Youtian wanted to scold Lin Feng. Lu Yunxiao wanted the young lady to kiss him the first time they met. If this wasn¡¯t difficult, what was? Jiang Youyi pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her. Lu Yunxiao looked at her calmly, but his dark eyes were bottomless. She mustered her courage and said, ¡°President Lu, that¡¯s enough. I did say your name at the wedding and apologized sincerely for causing you trouble. If I wasn¡¯t afraid that my sister would be in a difficult position today, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have come to apologize to you. After all, your Weibo post also brought me a lot of trouble. Your request is too much. Do you really think you¡¯re the domineering president in the novels? Do you want a girl to kiss you casually? To put it seriously, this is called sexual harassment, understand?¡± ¡°Youyi, how can you say that?!¡± Jiang Youtian panicked when she saw her sister scolding Lu Yunxiao recklessly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let her continue.¡± Lu Yunxiao was not angry. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the woman in front of him with interest. ¡°Of course I have to continue. Don¡¯t go too far. If it¡¯s because of what I said at the wedding, didn¡¯t I apologize to you that day? In your car. Don¡¯t say that you forgot.¡± There was no emotion in Lu Yunxiao¡¯s eyes, nor did he respond to her. However, the other three people present were dumbfounded. They had no idea what Lu Yunxiao and Jiang Youyi had met on the day of the wedding. ¡°Didn¡¯t today¡¯s farce start because of you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± Lu Yunxiao admitted. ¡°Then why should I apologize to you? You were the one who started the trouble first. Do you think you can distort the truth and say the wrong thing is right just because you¡¯re richer and have more status than me?¡± ¡°Youyi, don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Jiang Youtian¡¯s heart sank to the bottom. If she had known that her sister had such a deep grudge against Lu Yunxiao, she wouldn¡¯t have brought the two of them together. ¡°Sister, I know your good intentions. You¡¯re afraid that he¡¯ll take revenge on me and the Jiang Family. However, this matter started because of me. It¡¯s just a personal grudge between me and President Lu. President Lu won¡¯t take his anger out on the Jiang Family because of this, right?¡± With that, Jiang Youyi straightened her back and stared at Lu Yunxiao neither servile nor overbearing. ¡°You¡¯re quite proficient at goading me.¡± ¡°What you think is your own business. If you really take revenge on my family because of the grudge between the two of us, then you, the richest man, are really tasteless. You didn¡¯t rely on strength to have your current achievements, but luck, right?¡± ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re talking about?¡± Lu Yunxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously. Chapter 25 A Man And A Woman Alone. What Do You Think I Want To Do? ¡°Of course I know. I¡¯ll still say the same thing. If you¡¯re unhappy, come at me. This matter has nothing to do with my family. Even hooligans should know that family members shouldn¡¯t be involved. President Lu shouldn¡¯t be any worse than hooligans, right?¡± Lu Yunxiao stood up from the sofa and walked towards Jiang Youyi without saying a word. Jiang Youtian was extremely nervous. She was really afraid that something would happen to her sister. ¡°You¡¯re quite bold to scold me twice in a day.¡± Jiang Youyi instantly felt guilty and did not dare to look at him again. Indeed, she had sent him a private message earlier to scold him¡ª[Shamelessness was invincible.] He slowly approached Jiang Youyi with his broad chest and whispered in her ear, ¡°You¡¯re the first woman who dares to scold me like this.¡± ¡°Then¡­ you were the one who provoked me first,¡± Jiang Youyi replied. ¡°Do you think that by going against me, you can successfully attract my attention and make me think that you¡¯re special?¡± ¡°Attract your attention? Have you watched too many television dramas? Lu Yunxiao, I don¡¯t have time to quarrel with you here. I was indeed the one who created trouble by mentioning your name at the wedding. I¡¯m sorry again. If you think it¡¯s not enough, I can compensate you with a sum of money. But is it fair and square for you to post on Weibo to cause trouble?¡± ¡°Upright? I¡¯m not that kind of person.¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled. ¡°Since you¡¯re not, I have nothing to tell you. Sister, let¡¯s go home.¡± Jiang Youyi felt that there was nothing else to say. Unexpectedly, she was picked up by the waist. The other three were dumbfounded¡­ ¡°Youyi!¡± Jiang Youtian looked nervous and was about to follow her. ¡°Youtian, your sister will be fine. Believe me, don¡¯t interfere in their matters.¡± Lin Feng stopped Jiang Youtian. The atmosphere in the room was tense. Wang Jiangbei looked like an outsider. He lowered his head and drank his tea without saying anything. ¡°Lu Yunxiao! Put me down!¡± Jiang Youyi suddenly flew into the air, frightened. There was a huge difference in strength between a man and a woman. No matter how hard Jiang Youyi tried, it was useless. She was carried up to the private room on the second floor effortlessly. Lu Yunxiao kicked open the door with one foot and threw the woman in his arms onto the leather sofa. Fortunately, his touch was very light and it did not hurt too much. ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± Jiang Youyi was vigilant. ¡°A man and a woman alone. What do you think?¡± Lu Yunxiao was determined to scare her. ¡°Stay away from me. I¡¯ll scream if you take another step closer. There are many people coming and going outside. You don¡¯t want to die socially, right?¡± ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± ¡°If you do anything to me, I¡¯ll definitely call the police. Your bright future will be ruined in your hands. In the future, your descendants won¡¯t be able to get into the civil service. They¡¯ll all hate you.¡± ¡°What do you mean by descendants? What strange thoughts are you thinking all day?¡± Lu Yunxiao was so angry that he laughed. He walked to the sofa opposite her and sat down. ¡°It¡¯s beneficial for both of us to discuss cooperation.¡± Hearing this, Jiang Youyi realized that she had thought too much. ¡°What cooperation?¡± ¡°The two of us will continue to flirt in front of outsiders and let everyone think that we¡¯re together.¡± ¡°This¡ª¡± Jiang Youyi did not react to his sudden suggestion. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be nervous. It¡¯s just an act. It¡¯s all fake.¡± ¡°What benefits will you give me if I help you act?¡± Jiang Youyi thought about it and felt that she would definitely benefit from working with the richest man. ¡°The title of Lu Yunxiao¡¯s girlfriend is enough for the Jiang Family to achieve a leap in class and enter the upper-class circle.¡± ¡°Other than that?¡± ¡°Your value can also be greatly reflected.¡± ¡°Anything else?¡± ¡°To make Xu Yuning not dare to provoke you again. If it were anyone else, do you think he would be willing to give up?¡± It had to be said that Lu Yunxiao knew how to manipulate people¡¯s hearts. Although the first two were very tempting, Jiang Youyi did not care. There was only the last one. Xu Yuning¡¯s attitude was obvious. He would not give up easily, and it was impossible for him to accept the fact that they had broken up amicably. Instead of being disturbed by Xu Yuning every day alone, she might as well put on a show with the man in front of her. Jiang Youyi¡¯s interest was finally piqued. She sat up straight. ¡°You mean, the two of us will act as a couple?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Why me?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re the only one who has the guts to publicly confess to me at your wedding.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. She would never be able to get rid of this dark history in this life. ¡°So you posted on Weibo to plant a foreshadowing of us being together in the future?¡± Jiang Youyi suddenly realized why the big shot suddenly rejected her for no reason. It turned out that he had a plan long ago. Chapter 26 Don¡¯t Tell Me You¡¯re Quarreling Upstairs ¡°Pretty much.¡± ¡°Pretending to be in a relationship with you will indeed bring me a lot of benefits. What about you? Outsiders have always thought that you¡¯re arrogant and an unattainable flower. Being with me doesn¡¯t seem to bring you anything.¡± Jiang Youyi still didn¡¯t let down her guard and voiced the doubts in her heart. ¡°Because being single is too troublesome. The rumors about me outside have already affected the company¡¯s operations. I don¡¯t want anyone to gossip behind my back or some ignorant woman to deliberately approach me. And you are the best shield.¡± When Jiang Youyi heard this, she remained silent. ¡°This matter will only benefit you. There¡¯s no harm in it,¡± he said calmly. ¡°Not necessarily. You must have made many enemies to be able to reach your current position. I can¡¯t guarantee that I won¡¯t become a live target in the eyes of others if I¡¯m with you now.¡± ¡°Are you afraid?¡± ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be afraid? I¡¯m young and haven¡¯t lived enough.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re not willing?¡± ¡°No, I agree.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s attitude suddenly changed. ¡°You¡¯re still agreeing to me if you¡¯re afraid?¡± Lu Yunxiao was a little curious. Jiang Youyi stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the street scenery and the crowd outside the window. ¡°I never thought that Xu Yuning would cheat one day. His actions made me very disappointed in marriages and relationships. As for men, all men in the world are the same. In that case, it¡¯s good to work with you. At least no one will dare to disturb me in the future.¡± Lu Yunxiao stood behind her and listened quietly without interrupting. ¡°By the way, how long are the two of us going to act?¡± Jiang Youyi turned around and asked him. ¡°If you or I don¡¯t want to continue, we¡¯ll separate.¡± His attitude was calm and cold. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s work well together.¡± Jiang Youyi felt that his suggestion was very good. No one knew what would happen in the future, so she might as well take it one step at a time. ¡°You can¡¯t tell anyone about this, including your family.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s tone was warning. ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly strode up to her and reached out to her without any warning. She was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated. ¡°You¡­ what are you doing?¡± Jiang Youyi asked with a frown. ¡°Exchange contact information.¡± He took the phone from her hand and forcefully scanned his QR code. After adding her as a friend and saving her number, the two of them walked downstairs one after another. During this time, Jiang Youtian could not sit still. She wanted to go upstairs to look for Lin Feng a few times, but she was stopped by Lin Feng. It was only when her sister came down and realized that she was calm and did not look injured at all that Jiang Youtian finally felt relieved. ¡°President Lu, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister.¡± ¡°No need. You guys can leave.¡± ¡°Youyi?¡± Jiang Youtian was puzzled. Why was the atmosphere between the two of them not as tense as before after coming back from upstairs? ¡°I apologized to President Lu and he forgave me. It¡¯s alright, Sister.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Jiang Youtian almost couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Did the two of you really kiss?¡± However, since there were still three men present, she could only swallow the question that was on the tip of her tongue. ¡°It¡¯s not what you think, Sister. President Lu¡­ didn¡¯t make things difficult for me. We just resolved the misunderstanding,¡± Jiang Youyi explained tactfully, knowing that her sister was worried. Only then did Jiang Youtian relax and hurriedly pull her sister away. ¡°Then we won¡¯t disturb you anymore. We¡¯ll leave first.¡± ¡°Youtian, I¡¯ve helped you a lot this time,¡± Lin Feng said with a smile. ¡°President Lin, I¡¯ll remember your kindness. I¡¯ll definitely treat you to the most expensive restaurant to repay you the next time I come back,¡± Jiang Youtian said seriously. ¡°Haha, then I¡¯ll wait for your feast. Don¡¯t make me wait too long.¡± Jiang Youtian forced an awkward smile and pulled her sister away quickly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know that you had such a disgusting side?¡± Wang Jiangbei looked at Lin Feng in disdain. He was referring to the time when he acted coquettishly with Jiang Youtian. Lin Feng smiled nonchalantly. ¡°Then I¡¯m not as fierce as Brother Lu. He asked a young lady to kiss him without saying a word. He almost scared her to death.¡± Lu Yunxiao did not reply. He sat on the sofa and focused on making tea. ¡°Why did you bring her up?¡± Lin Feng could no longer suppress his gossipy soul. ¡°Not for a kid like you.¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t look like she did anything to you that I couldn¡¯t hear. What did the two of you say? Don¡¯t tell me you scolded each other for five minutes upstairs?¡± Lin Feng suddenly had an idea. Chapter 27 Stay Away From Him ¡°You are indeed in the film industry. Your brain is extraordinary.¡± Wang Jiangbei was amused by his words. ¡°But I also want to ask what the two of you were doing upstairs.¡± Wang Jiangbei crossed his arms and waited to hear the gossip. ¡°Are the two of you aunties at the village entrance?¡± Lu Yunxiao retorted. It seemed like he was determined to keep it a secret. On the way back, the Jiang Family¡¯s chauffeur drove and the sisters sat in the back. Jiang Youtian was still a little afraid. ¡°I was almost scared to death by you.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be the person you wanted to see,¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°He said you¡¯ve met before?¡± ¡°Yes, we chatted in his car on the day of the wedding.¡± ¡°What does he mean?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t seem to care much about being scammed by me.¡± ¡°Then when he carried you up just now¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s just to resolve the misunderstanding. Sister, don¡¯t worry. He won¡¯t make things difficult for our family. Really.¡± Jiang Youyi held Second Sister¡¯s hand and promised again. ¡°You¡¯re too rash. What if someone else takes revenge on you later? Have you thought of the consequences?¡± ¡°Sister, it won¡¯t happen again.¡± ¡°Also, stay away from Lu Yunxiao in the future. Even if he¡¯s rich and powerful, our family won¡¯t let you jump into his fire pit. A complicated person like him isn¡¯t suitable for you.¡± ¡°Sister, I¡¯m so hungry.¡± Jiang Youyi changed the topic, making Jiang Youtian sigh helplessly. This matter came to an end. When they reached home at night, Jiang Youtian, who could finally come back, was watching television and chatting with her parents in the living room. After Jiang Youyi went upstairs to wash up, she lay on the bed and played with her cell phone. As she was playing, her cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number that had not been saved. The number arrangement did not look like a domestic number. ¡°Hello?¡± She picked it up and deliberately lowered her voice. ¡°Miss Jiang, Xu Yuning brought that woman to a private hospital an hour ago to abort the child. He even helped her with the resignation procedures at the Human Resources Department.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Jiang Youyi hung up the phone, but she did not feel any pleasure after taking revenge. In her previous life, Xu Yuning¡¯s affair caused her father to enter the ICU. Now that the engagement was annulled and Xu Yuning had aborted the child with the woman and removed her from the corporation, could this matter really end? Wasn¡¯t her collaboration with Lu Yunxiao too radical and risky? It was late at night, and the largest club in Ocean City was called the ¡°Wakeful Dream¡±. Xu Yuning was in a private room on the top floor, surrounded by a group of men and women who were drinking happily. Everyone could tell that he was not in his best state tonight. ¡°Come, let¡¯s celebrate. CEO Xu is free again,¡± a young rich second-generation heir jeered. After downing the wine in his glass, the rich second-generation heir patted Xu Yuning¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Yuning, there¡¯s no need to go that far. Jiang Youyi isn¡¯t a rare beauty. Even her sister is much more charming than her. If I were you, I would rather like her sister. However, she¡¯s just a passerby. Why do you have to worry? Moreover, a small family like the Jiang Family will only drag you down in the future in terms of career.¡± Xu Yuning suddenly thought of something. ¡°Guo Ming, you¡¯re that person¡¯s opponent, so you should know him. Did you see the Weibo post he posted today? What exactly does he want to do to Jiang Youyi?¡± Guo Ming smiled and put down the wine in his hand. He put his arm around Xu Yuning¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You¡¯ve asked the right person about this. I know him very well. Lu Yunxiao has been clean all these years and has never had any scandals with any woman. But this time, he actually took the initiative to post on Weibo. I think he and your little girlfriend, oh no, should be ex now. They should have known each other long ago. Otherwise, who would confess to a stranger they¡¯ve never met for no reason?¡± Guo Ming¡¯s words made sense. Zhang Meng had told him the same thing before. It was just that Xu Yuning was unwilling to believe it back then. Now that even Guo Ming said that, could it be that Youyi¡­ really knew that person long ago? At the thought of this, Xu Yuning felt even more depressed. He downed the wine in his glass in one gulp. The next morning, when Jiang Youyi opened her eyes, Second Sister had already returned to the production team. However, her family was no longer surprised. After all, her work situation was special, and she often did not go home for months. Her brother and sister-in-law had also gone to the company. When Jiang Youyi went downstairs for breakfast, she only saw her mother. ¡°Mom, has my dad left?¡± ¡°Your father has a friend here. He went out for breakfast with him.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Jiang Youyi nodded. Chapter 28 Exploited By The Internet Housekeeper Sister Fang walked out of the kitchen and brought her a bowl of century egg lean meat porridge. It was her favorite breakfast. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Sister Fang.¡± ¡°This is what I should do. Hurry up and eat. There¡¯s still a lot in the pot.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s phone did not stop ringing as she ate breakfast. It was a WeChat notification. She clicked on it and saw more than a dozen messages. Jiang Youtian: [I¡¯m going back to the production team. Stay at home obediently and don¡¯t cause trouble online. If the media contacts you, ignore them. Those people love to add fuel to the fire and spout nonsense.] Zhong Xiaohui: [Sister, you¡¯re completely popular now. The Internet is filled with news about you and that big shot.] Chen Hao: [Youyi, I heard that Xu Yuning¡¯s family seems to have given up on taking revenge on you. The public relations document that they wanted to slander you has also been revoked. I think Xu Yuning caused a scene in front of his parents.] Jiang Youyi smiled helplessly. Her cousin did not know the inside story. The Xu Family did not let her off. It was just that she had thrown the evidence of Xu Yuning¡¯s affair in front of the two elders of the Xu Family, so they did not dare to act rashly. How could they still have the cheek to continue slandering her for the sins that their son had committed? She had already let the Xu Family off for the sake of their five-year relationship. Zhong Xiaohui said, ¡°Have you seen the trending searches? I advise you not to watch them. The Internet is basically scolding you now. Why didn¡¯t I know that Lu Yunxiao had so many brainless fans in the past?¡± Jiang Youyi finished a bowl of porridge unhurriedly before opening Weibo. Before Lu Yunxiao posted on Weibo, she only had six fans, and three of them were zombie fans. Moreover, she did not play Weibo much and usually only used Weibo as a tool to store photos. The moment she logged on today, she almost thought that there was something wrong with her eyes. Her fans had increased by more than a million overnight. What did it mean to have more than a million fans? It was already equivalent to the number of fans of an 18th-tier celebrity. Also, the comments under Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Weibo post had already exceeded 50,000 and were still increasing. The private messages exploded. She couldn¡¯t even finish reading them. Many people tagged her and reminded her to read the private messages. However, the strange thing was that everyone was clearly paying attention to her and Lu Yunxiao yesterday, but today, there were suddenly many female fans who cursed her without any explanation. Jiang Youyi clicked on her comments section. A few top comments made it difficult for her to ignore¡ª Netizen 1: [Is this woman crazy? Not only did she break off the engagement in public, but she also took advantage of others¡¯ popularity. Is she shameless? Didn¡¯t your parents teach you how to be a person?] Netizen 2: [Is Big Boss Lu someone you can scam? Why don¡¯t you weigh yourself first? The receptionist of Big Boss Lu Group is 100 times prettier than a woman like you who rides on his popularity. Don¡¯t even think about it.] Netizen 3: [If there¡¯s only one woman in the world who¡¯s worthy of being a top CEO, I¡¯ll vote for Sister Bingbing selfishly. She¡¯s so beautiful that she doesn¡¯t look like a mortal. She¡¯s miles away from this woman who¡¯s trying to ride on her popularity.] Netizen 4: [This woman is really stupid and bad. It¡¯s not easy for her to climb up the social ladder, but it¡¯s fine if she doesn¡¯t cherish it. She actually wants to continue climbing up another social ladder. Let me advise you nicely. You brought this upon yourself. It¡¯s not so easy to climb up the social ladder. Don¡¯t fall to your death when the time comes.] Netizen 5: [I also think that Bai Bing and President Lu are the most compatible. One look and I can tell that Bai Bing is a well-educated young lady from a wealthy family. Who is this woman? She doesn¡¯t have looks, family background, or background. She¡¯s overestimating herself.] Netizen 6: [To be honest, I saw the live-stream that day. This woman looks alright, but her character is too bad. I saw the news that she liked to hook rich second-generation heirs when she was studying abroad. Looks like she really won¡¯t change.] Jiang Youyi¡¯s gaze swept past these comments one by one, and her heart did not waver at all. The moment she replied to the other Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Weibo, she thought of the current outcome. Or rather, she had thought of it now when she broke off the engagement. However, she did not expect that in the end, these people were even unsatisfied to simply scold and curse her through the Internet. Instead, they found her department store and scattered flyers at the door. More than a dozen girls scattered flyers at the entrance of the department store. There was only a blurry photo on the flyers and a line of words¡ª¡±Jiang Youyi is throwing herself at a man. Shameless!¡± Jiang Youyi realized belatedly that she had really been abused on the Internet this time. Her parents usually did not watch entertainment news and did not know. Jiang Youyi secretly called her sister-in-law and asked about the situation in the department store before driving over immediately. Chapter 29 Who Did You Offend? As soon as she parked the car, the anti-fans guarding the door swarmed around her. Many entertainment media carried cameras and aimed them at her face. ¡°Miss Jiang, is it really because of President Lu that you ran away from the wedding?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, may I ask if you and President Lu knew each other long ago or only after you confessed? What do you want to say to that Weibo post he posted?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, as the sister of the current top female celebrity, can we think that your confession this time is a hype to pave the way for you to join the entertainment industry in the future?¡± Jiang Youyi was dressed very simply today. She was wearing a black hooded sweater, dark blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers. She was wearing an ordinary baseball cap without a logo on her head. Actually, most of the anti-fans had never seen Jiang Youyi in person. Even if they had watched the live-stream, she had put on heavy makeup that day. This was the first time everyone had seen Jiang Youyi in real life. However, after she parked her car at the entrance of her department store and was recognized by the employees, the media swarmed over. After the media surrounded Jiang Youyi, the anti-fans followed her over. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t squeeze in and pay attention to your safety. I¡¯ll explain your problems to everyone one by one.¡± Jiang Youyi did not want to implicate her brother and sister-in-law because of her. After all, the department store was their hard work over the years, so she had to respond to this matter. However, she thought too simply. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw an egg appear out of thin air and smash in her direction. It happened so suddenly that she instinctively squatted down. The egg passed her and hit a paparazzo¡¯s face. Immediately after, the paparazzo went forward and grabbed the anti-fan¡¯s hair. The few of them instantly forgot about Jiang Youyi and started fighting with each other. The scene fell into chaos. The more they fought, the more agitated they became. Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t interrupt and could only turn around and prepare to leave. Unexpectedly, an anti-fan had already lost her mind and went forward to grab her hood. ¡°Where do you want to run to? You green tea b*tch , you scammer! You have to apologize to President Lu in public today!¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. Just as she was thinking about how to shake off this person, the loud roar of the car attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice and saw a black Maybach parked steadily in the middle of the crowd. Then, the car door opened. The man in the car did not even turn his head to look at her. He only said two words, ¡°Get in.¡± Jiang Youyi did not have time to think too much. She quickly got into the back seat of the Maybach while the female fans were in a daze. The driver stepped on the accelerator, and everyone could only stand on the spot and watch the car¡¯s butt get further and further away. Someone came back to their senses first and said, ¡°This car¡­ looks so familiar. Isn¡¯t this President Lu¡¯s car?¡± ¡°I saw the license plate number. It¡¯s really President Lu¡¯s car. Why would he¡­¡± ¡°So the man sitting in the back row just now is Lu Yunxiao? Oh my god, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen him in person!¡± ¡°Oh my god! That car was less than three meters away from me. Mom, I¡¯m successful!¡± Jiang Youyi only turned to look at the man beside her when the Maybach drove a distance away. ¡°Why is it¡­ you?¡± ¡°Who do you think it is?¡± ¡°No, I mean, why are you at our company¡¯s door?¡± ¡°I was doing something and happened to pass by.¡± ¡°Just happened to pass by?¡± Jiang Youyi was skeptical. ¡°Otherwise, do you think I came specially for you?¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s face was expressionless, but Jiang Youyi clearly heard him chuckle. She blushed. ¡°How is that possible? I still know my limits. But thank you so much for today. I didn¡¯t expect this group of people to dare to hit me in broad daylight.¡± ¡°This matter definitely isn¡¯t the personal actions of a few fans. They¡¯re not so bold. There must be a mastermind behind it.¡± Jiang Youyi was slightly stunned. ¡°You mean¡­?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I want to say it, but you should think about who you offended.¡± Jiang Youyi pondered for a moment. ¡°The Xu Family.¡± She usually did not interact much with outsiders, let alone offend others. No matter how she thought about it, only the Xu Family met the conditions for revenge. Was it done by Xu Yuning? That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Such an unpresentable method didn¡¯t seem to be done by a man. Or was it Xu Yuning¡¯s mother? Jiang Youyi looked out of the window and frowned. She really did not know who it was. Chapter 30 Why Are You Still Getting A Woman To Treat You? ¡°Youyi, look at the second trending topic on Weibo.¡± Zhong Xiaohui sent another WeChat notification. It seemed that Jiang Youyi was slow to realize many things. She took out her cell phone and turned on Weibo, thinking that it was her or Lu Yunxiao who was trending again. Unexpectedly, the person who was trending this time was Xu Yuning. He posted a long Weibo post half an hour ago¡ª [Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Xu Yuning. First of all, I¡¯m sorry that I¡¯ve taken up public resources during this period of time because of the mishandling of my personal feelings. I didn¡¯t want to say much at first, but some rumors have already spread like wildfire, causing trouble for me and the people around me. Hence, I want to explain to everyone that I¡¯ve known Jiang Youyi for five years. I know best what kind of woman she is. Although I¡¯m very regretful that the wedding didn¡¯t go through, it¡¯s definitely not like what was uploaded online. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t like another new man and betrayed me. As for President Lu¡¯s response, Youyi has been single since she broke up with me, so I think it¡¯s very normal for anyone to pursue her or express goodwill to her. Although I¡¯ve separated from Youyi, I still have expectations for this relationship. If there¡¯s a chance, I still hope to woo her back. Other than explaining on Weibo today, I also implore everyone to stop slandering Madam Jiang Youyi. No one knows her better than me. Thank you all for your concern¡ªXu Yuning.] Xu Yuning¡¯s response could be said to be sincere and affectionate, instantly gaining many female fans. Now, the netizens all felt that he was a responsible and good man. Moreover, after his explanation, there were fewer people scolding Jiang Youyi online. Jiang Youyi looked at the screen in a daze, her emotions indescribably complicated. She did not know what the Xu Family wanted. ¡°Can¡¯t forget your ex-boyfriend?¡± Lu Yunxiao glanced at her phone and said meaningfully. ¡°No, I won¡¯t play with the same man twice.¡± Jiang Youyi put away her phone. ¡°It seems like Xu Yuning still has feelings for you,¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly said. ¡°I have no right to interfere with what he does, but nothing he does can change my decision.¡± ¡°Do you like Japanese food?¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly asked. ¡°I quite like it.¡± Lu Yunxiao glanced at her and said to the driver, ¡°Turn around and go to Jinghe.¡± ¡°Alright, President Lu.¡± The car turned around in front and headed towards Ocean City¡¯s most famous Japanese restaurant, Jinghe. 20 minutes later, Jiang Youyi was already sitting in the private room of the Japanese restaurant, eating salmon and staring blankly at the hot Sukiyaki pot in front of her. She had completely forgotten about the interlude just now. The two of them had not spoken a word since they entered the private room until Jiang Youyi suddenly said curiously, ¡°Lu Yunxiao, you said before that you¡¯ve never been in a relationship. Are you still a blank piece of paper?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yunxiao. ¡°I think the report also said that you¡¯re always single. Then how do you usually solve your physiological needs?¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi.¡± Lu Yunxiao put down the chopsticks in his hand and took out a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth. ¡°Do I know you very well? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s presumptuous to ask such a question?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Jiang Youyi pursed her lips. ¡°I thought we were all adults. It¡¯s fine to ask this.¡± A certain big shot was so angry that he was caught in between laughter and tears. In the end, he could only say coldly, ¡°Eat your food.¡± Jiang Youyi did not expect to meet Lu Yunxiao every few days after breaking off the engagement. They had not seen each other for the past 20 years, but now, the two of them could sit together and eat and chat. Life was really strange. When they were almost done eating, the two of them walked to the front desk. ¡°Hello, sir. You and this lady have spent a total of 2,560 yuan. May I ask if you want to swipe your card or cash?¡± Jiang Youyi fiddled with her clean nails in boredom behind him. Anyway, this was not the first time she had freeloaded. The next second, she heard Lu Yunxiao say, ¡°This lady will pay the bill.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Youyi looked up in confusion. ¡°I¡¯ll foot the bill?¡± ¡°Alright, Madam. Do you want to swipe your card or cash? This is the details of your expenditure this time. Please take a look.¡± The waiter nodded slightly and handed the bill to Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi glared at Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the one treating me?¡± ¡°When did I say my treat?¡± Jiang Youyi: I don¡¯t think he said that. He only asked her in the car if she liked Japanese food. But he¡¯s the president of a corporation! The richest man! Why was a woman treating him to a meal?! Chapter 31 A Sudden Encounter ¡°Lu Yunxiao, you did it on purpose, right?¡± Jiang Youyi pulled Lu Yunxiao aside with a smile in front of the waiter. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the richest man? The richest man!¡± ¡°Yes, why?¡± ¡°So the richest man usually gets a woman to treat him to a meal? Is this how you accumulate your wealth?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not it.¡± Lu Yunxiao chuckled. ¡°But I saved you today. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to sit here and eat Japanese food leisurely. Instead, you were hit on the head by those crazy fans. Jiang Youyi, you have to know how to repay kindness.¡± Fine, so he was waiting for her here?! Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth secretly. ¡°Alright, alright. So you¡¯re waiting for me here. I knew you wouldn¡¯t be so kind as to save me. So you want me to treat you to such an expensive meal!¡± ¡°Hurry up and pay the bill. I still have to go back to the company later.¡± He was even impatient. Jiang Youyi handed the cell phone¡¯s receipt code to the waiter. ¡°I¡¯ll pay on WeChat. Sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. It¡¯s what I should do.¡± After the waiter received the money, he nodded politely at them. Lu Yunxiao turned around and left. Jiang Youyi followed him obediently. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. ¡°I finally know why you¡¯re single. So it¡¯s because you are stingy. What woman would like a stingy man? Don¡¯t tell me you want to find a rich woman in the future and let her support you? As your working partner, I advise you not to dream about it.¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. The corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Didn¡¯t I already find her?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Youyi was so angry that she didn¡¯t know how to refute. She was really an idiot. She spent more than 2,000 yuan to treat him to a meal of Japanese food. The problem was that she usually couldn¡¯t bear to eat such expensive Japanese food! ¡°You win. Lu Yunxiao, just you wait!¡± At the entrance of the Japanese restaurant. ¡°I have to go back to the company for a meeting, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to send you. Call a taxi yourself, or take the subway. There¡¯s a subway station about a kilometer away from here.¡± ¡°You¡¯re good. You burned the bridge after crossing the river, right? After scamming me for a meal, you didn¡¯t even pretend when you went out. You weren¡¯t even willing to send me home!¡± ¡°You said it yourself. I didn¡¯t say you were a bridge.¡± ¡°Is this the main point?¡± She looked at Lu Yunxiao with a murderous intent. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t answer anymore. He got into his Maybach with his long legs. Jiang Youyi squeezed into the back seat too. Moreover, because she used too much strength, she almost pounced onto a certain unprepared big shot in the car. ¡°Your house is in a different direction from my company. It¡¯s not on the way,¡± Lu Yunxiao emphasized. ¡°I don¡¯t have to go home. Anyway, it¡¯s still early. I¡¯ll go wherever you go. I¡¯ll definitely freeload on this car today! President Lu, don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t even bear to part with this bit of gas money?¡± There was a strange silence in the car for a long time. Lu Yunxiao smiled helplessly. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s drive.¡± Lu Yunxiao did not expect Jiang Youyi to follow him to the company. He saw her sitting at the side, sulking because he had cheated her of a meal. Needless to say, this girl was really funny. Qihe Corporation, the headquarters of the Lu Family. It had more than 10 branches and its own private bank. Over the years, its business had spread all over the country. The news that Lu Yunxiao had brought a beautiful girl back to the company quickly spread within the company building. Someone even leaked the news to the paparazzi. Half an hour later, a report appeared on the Internet. ¡°The president of Qihe Corporation, Lu Yunxiao, brought his rumored girlfriend, Jiang Youyi, back to the company. It¡¯s suspected that something good is about to happen.¡± That afternoon, in a cafe. ¡°Bingbing, why do you have time to ask me out for coffee? Haven¡¯t you been busy with work recently?¡± Du Meihong looked at the young and beautiful woman in a business suit opposite her with a smile. ¡°Aunt Meihong, I won¡¯t beat around the bush with you. I called you out today to ask what¡¯s going on between Brother Yunxiao and that woman.¡± ¡°Ah¡ªask that young lady from the Jiang Family.¡± Actually, Du Meihong knew very well why Bai Bing suddenly invited her out for coffee today. After all, Bai Bing and Lu Yunxiao had known each other since they were in their teens. The elders knew of her feelings for Lu Yunxiao. The reason why no one had ever said it out loud was that Lu Yunxiao had never accepted Bai Bing¡¯s goodwill. However, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s father had always set his mind on this daughter-in-law. Bai Bing came from a good family background and had an impeccable job and appearance. No one expected Jiang Youyi to appear halfway. Chapter 32 How Have You Been? ¡°The two of them¡­¡± Seeing that Du Meihong was hesitating and unwilling to speak, Bai Bing took out a carrier bag from behind her. ¡°Auntie, I saw you post on your WeChat Moments some time ago asking which sales associate had this limited edition crocodile skin. Coincidentally, I have a friend who is the overall person-in-charge of this brand in Shanghai, so I asked her to buy one for me. This is for you.¡± ¡°Aiya, how can I accept such an expensive gift from you? Take it back quickly.¡± Du Meihong refused, but her eyes were greedy and refused to move away from her bag. ¡°Auntie, this bag was carried by you at your age. It¡¯s useless for me to take it back. Just treat it as a gift from me, a junior. I¡¯ll be unhappy if you don¡¯t accept it.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. I¡¯ve really made you spend a lot of money.¡± She had already accepted the gift, so she naturally couldn¡¯t hold back anymore. She had to give her the information she needed. Du Meihong looked around and lowered her voice. ¡°I¡¯ve been married to his father for so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen Yunxiao with any woman. But who knew that he would be associated with that young lady from the Jiang Family for no reason? To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the two of them have been causing an uproar on the Internet recently, I wouldn¡¯t have known that there was such a family in Ocean City. I¡¯ve never heard of them.¡± Du Meihong was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s stepmother in name. In her eyes, the Jiang Family was a small family and did not belong to the same world as her family. It was normal for her to look down on the Jiang Family. With the Jiang Family¡¯s financial resources, they were indeed not in the same social circle as the Lu Family. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of this Jiang Family either. I only found out after reading the news that she¡¯s Jiang Youtian¡¯s younger sister,¡± Bai Bing said. ¡°I know Jiang Youtian. Isn¡¯t she the one who acted in the television drama? This happened too suddenly, especially when Yunxiao posted a Weibo response later. His father and I didn¡¯t expect him to do this. He has always been afraid of trouble. We all thought that his account had been hacked. Later on, we found out that he posted it himself.¡± ¡°So Brother Yunxiao knew that woman before?¡± Bai Bing looked worried. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I¡¯ve never heard Yunxiao mention this person before. As for why Yunxiao is so close to her now, your uncle and I don¡¯t know the reason. You also know that that child has always been independent and has never listened to me or his father. Bingbing, let me give you a piece of advice. If you really like Yunxiao, you have to seize the time to fight for him. You can¡¯t continue to be so passive.¡± ¡°Auntie, of course I really like Brother Yunxiao. I¡¯ve only liked him for so many years.¡± Bai Bing had always been an arrogant person. She had a good family background since she was young and her life had always been smooth-sailing. Until now, she had become a famous host on the television station. Her reputation was not inferior to Jiang Youtian, a female celebrity. Now, she had almost become a famous person in the country. The netizens even affectionately called her the nation¡¯s younger sister. The men wooing her were about to line up overseas, but she had not been in a relationship all these years. She had been waiting for Lu Yunxiao to turn around and look at her. She thought that the two of them could slowly cultivate their relationship as childhood friends. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere. That was why she was anxious. ¡°Since you like it, there¡¯s nothing else to say. What has your mother been busy with recently?¡± ¡°She¡¯s arranging flowers at home and reading magazines. She¡¯s not busy,¡± Bai Bing replied obediently. ¡°How about this? Auntie will get my helpers to prepare some seasonal vegetables and fresh seafood at home tomorrow. Call your parents over for a simple meal. Your parents are old acquaintances with us. Moreover, Yunxiao grew up under their noses. We haven¡¯t eaten together for so many years. We can take this opportunity to gather and create a chance for you young people to be alone.¡± ¡°Auntie, I¡¯ll have to trouble you then.¡± Bai Bing could finally relax a little. Du Meihong was indeed knowledgeable about the ways of the world. It was not in vain that she had asked someone to buy this Hermes exotic leather bag that cost more than 300,000 yuan. ¡°Child, why are you being so polite to Auntie?¡± Du Meihong said with a smile. She naturally could persuade Lu Yunxiao alone. However, no matter how unwilling Lu Yunxiao was to go home, he had to consider his father¡¯s face. She would lie to Lu Guo¡¯an when they got home tonight. When the time came, she would get Lu Guo¡¯an to call him home for dinner. The gathering was settled just like that. However, Bai Bing was still a little nervous when she returned. She had Lu Yunxiao¡¯s contact number. Hence, after thinking about it, she still sent him a WeChat message. Bai Bing: [Yunxiao, how have you been recently?] Chapter 33 Is She Your Girlfriend? The message was sent for more than two hours before there was a response. Lu Yunxiao: [Fine.] Bai Bing: [I saw the trending searches online. I didn¡¯t expect this matter to cause such a commotion. No one has disturbed your life recently, right?] Lu Yunxiao: [No.] Bai Bing: [Then you and Miss Jiang¡­] Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t reply for a long time. Bai Bing couldn¡¯t help but send another WeChat message. [Our television station is also very concerned about your matters. The station head wants me to ask you if this matter is true or¡­ If it¡¯s true, can our television station write a first-hand report for you?] Lu Yunxiao: [No need.] Bai Bing: [Alright, let me know if you need help. After all, I¡¯m in the media too. I can help you a little. Of course, it¡¯s good that you don¡¯t need help.] Lu Yunxiao thanked her politely and distantly. Bai Bing looked at the few replies on the screen and felt a little uncomfortable. However, on second thought, she had known Lu Yunxiao for so many years. He had always been a person who did not like to talk, let alone chat online. At this moment, the quiet person in her heart was sitting at her desk and reading documents. Jiang Youyi was lying on the wide sofa in his office, playing ¡°King of Glory¡± on her cell phone. She was in high spirits. ¡°I¡¯m speechless. Can the jungler not lead the way?¡± Jiang Youyi started the mic bravely. Lu Yunxiao glanced at her. ¡°Are you planning to stay with me forever?¡± ¡°At least after dinner,¡± Jiang Youyi replied as she operated the hero on her cell phone. She had just been cheated of an astronomical lunch by the other party. She couldn¡¯t get over this hurdle and was waiting for dinner to get back at him. Lu Yunxiao smiled helplessly and looked at the time on his watch. ¡°It¡¯s indeed time for dinner. It¡¯s getting late.¡± Hearing his words, Jiang Youyi quickened her pace. ¡°I want to eat Australian lobster.¡± She had already thought about it. As long as Lu Yunxiao asked her what she wanted to eat, she would say that she wanted to eat Australian lobster. With her appetite, it would not be a problem for her to eat Australian lobster that cost more than 10,000 yuan. It could be considered as venting her anger. ¡°Auron, alright. I¡¯ll get the helper to buy them now.¡± ¡°Get the helper to buy them?¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned. ¡°Yes, my father asked me to go home for dinner tonight. Coincidentally, you¡¯re here, so come back with me to meet him. If those paparazzi guarding the entrance of the corporation see us now, they¡¯ll definitely write even more explosive news tomorrow. However, it¡¯ll be hard on you then. If the fans are impulsive, they might not just smash eggs on your head.¡± ¡°I suddenly feel that I¡¯m not hungry at all. I¡¯ll make a move first.¡± Jiang Youyi slipped away without another word. She did want to eat Australian lobsters, but she could forget about meeting Lu Yunxiao¡¯s parents. She had long heard that Lu Yunxiao¡¯s father, Lu Guo¡¯an, the president of Qihe Corporation, was a very scary person. It was said that he did not even shed a tear at his wife¡¯s funeral. Moreover, Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao could only be considered to be in a cooperative relationship, so there was no need to meet his parents. ¡°President Lu, is she your girlfriend?¡± The young male assistant asked curiously as he watched Jiang Youyi sweep past like the wind. ¡°Have you finished your work?¡± Lu Yunxiao glanced at his assistant coldly. ¡°The workload I arranged for you is too little, right?¡± The male assistant broke out in cold sweat from his stare and shook his head repeatedly. ¡°¡­I suddenly forgot that I still have some work to do. I¡¯ll go get busy first.¡± It was already dark outside when she left Qihe Corporation. Jiang Youyi called a taxi on her cell phone. Her family was present today. Her brother, sister-in-law and parents were having a lively meal. ¡°Youyi, have you eaten?¡± Seeing her return, her sister-in-law got up to scoop rice for her. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten yet. I¡¯m starving.¡± Jiang Youyi pouted at her sister-in-law pitifully. ¡°I¡¯ll go, Young Madam.¡± Sister Fang had worked in the Jiang Family for many years and treated the three children no different from her biological children. Jiang Youyi smiled and nodded. She sat down beside her sister-in-law and waited for dinner. ¡°Have you been too idle recently? You don¡¯t have to get married anymore. Don¡¯t you plan to find something to do in the company?¡± Jiang Nian asked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you happy that I¡¯m not fighting with you for the family assets?¡± Jiang Youyi teased him. ¡°I¡¯d rather you fight for it.¡± Jiang Nian really couldn¡¯t do anything to her. ¡°Youyi, your brother isn¡¯t joking with you. The company is really short of manpower recently. Your brother and I plan to have a child this year or next year. If I get pregnant, I won¡¯t be at ease leaving the work in my hands to others. Why don¡¯t you follow me to study finance now? You can help us then.¡± Her sister-in-law, Wang Yuqing, was originally the company¡¯s finance manager. She came to the company for an internship right after graduating from university. At that time, Jiang Nian had just taken over the family business. The two young people were similar in age and usually worked well together. They got together after a while. Chapter 34 There¡¯s No Need For That ¡°Sister-in-law, I really don¡¯t understand those accounts.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not going to work, hurry up and get married. I¡¯ve asked a few madams around me to help you find a suitable candidate. You just need to meet him,¡± Mrs. Jiang said. Her thoughts were very simple. A woman did not necessarily need to work. After she got married, she would stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Her life was quite good. ¡°Why are you urging her to get married? Isn¡¯t Xu Yuning¡¯s lesson enough?¡± Jiang Nian was a little unhappy. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t mention him.¡± ¡°I wanted to ask you. What¡¯s going on today¡¯s trending searches? Those people are all at the entrance of the company.¡± Of course, Jiang Nian knew that those fans were causing trouble at the entrance of the company. He had also heard his employees talk about Lu Yunxiao¡¯s interaction with his sister on Weibo. ¡°Uh, we have nothing to do with each other. He¡¯s Second Sister¡¯s friend. We were just joking.¡± ¡°Your Second Sister¡¯s friend?¡± Father Jiang was stunned. ¡°Why is your Second Sister involved again?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really Second Sister¡¯s friend, Dad. Second Sister brought me to their gathering, so we got to know each other. Isn¡¯t it normal for young people to joke now? You don¡¯t have to take it seriously. I¡¯m full. Take your time.¡± Jiang Youyi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and hurriedly hid in her room. In the eyes of the Jiang Family, although Jiang Youyi was usually a little unpredictable, there was no doubt that she was obedient and sensible. She was bold, but she had never had any conflicts with anyone since she was young. She was timid. She went overseas to study alone when she was 10 years old and lived in a foreign country for eight years. If she was rebellious, she rarely talked back to her family. No matter what the elders said, she was usually very obedient. Even if she did not like it, she would never reject them fiercely. However, if she was obedient, she did not even inform her family before she broke off the engagement with Xu Yuning, catching everyone off guard. Hence, her family often felt that they could not figure out what she was thinking. After taking a shower in the bathroom, she saw a WeChat notification on the screen. She clicked on it and saw that it was Second Sister. Jiang Youtian: [I want to give you a handsome man. He¡¯ll definitely be your type.] Jiang Youyi: [What the hell???] Jiang Youtian: [I¡¯ve already asked him to add you. Have a good chat with him.] Before Jiang Youyi could refuse, she saw another friend request. It was a business card recommended by Second Sister. Jiang Youyi: [Can I not add it?] Jiang Youtian: [No, don¡¯t waste time.] Jiang Youyi finally understood why Second Sister, who was clearly devastatingly beautiful, had never been in a relationship until now. With her domineering personality, ordinary men really could not handle her. Jiang Youyi knew that she couldn¡¯t argue with her, so she could only agree to the friend request obediently. Unexpectedly, the other party was even more enthusiastic than she had imagined. W: [Hello, Little Sister Youyi, right?] Jiang Youyi: [Yes, you are?] W: [I¡¯m friends with your Second Sister. You can call me Little Brother ~] Jiang Youyi was speechless. Why did Second Sister introduce her to a lame man? W: [I¡¯m not joking with you anymore. I¡¯m Wu Di. You should have heard of me, right?] Jiang Youyi: [Sorry, I¡¯ve never heard of you.] W: [Don¡¯t you usually chase after celebrities? I was the male lead in the recent popular period drama, ¡°The Tyrannical Prince Falls In Love With Me¡±. Do you remember now?] Jiang Youyi: [I¡¯ve never seen it before.] W: [Then you¡¯ve seen the movie ¡°With You When You Were Young, right? I¡¯ll act as the second male lead in it.] Jiang Youyi: [I¡¯m sorry, I rarely watch movies and television dramas.] W: [¡­ Don¡¯t tell me you still don¡¯t know about the advertisement for the ¡°Clear¡± shampoo? I filmed it too.] Jiang Youyi: [I¡¯m sorry. I really don¡¯t usually go online to read these things.] W: [Then you should know Chen Mengmeng, right? She¡¯s the popular star this year. Some time ago, our relationship dominated the trending searches for an entire week. Don¡¯t say that you haven¡¯t seen this before. Otherwise, I would really be very sad.] Jiang Youyi: [I know Chen Mengmeng.] W: [I knew it. She¡¯s my ex. She just broke up with me some time ago because our personalities didn¡¯t match.] Jiang Youyi: [Really? I¡¯ve never heard of her having a boyfriend.] W: [¡­ Why haven¡¯t you heard anything? Sister, do you live in ancient times?] Jiang Youyi: [I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not usually interested in the entertainment industry.] W: [Sister, I understand. You¡¯re pretending to be reserved, right? You¡¯re afraid that you¡¯ll make me think that you¡¯re as boring as other women if you act too agitated, right?] Jiang Youyi: [There¡¯s really no need for what you¡¯re saying.] Chapter 35 The Lame Man W: [You¡¯ve succeeded. I¡¯m indeed very interested in you now.] Jiang Youyi¡¯s head was about to explode. She was already beginning to suspect that Second Sister had specially sent this person to mess with her. Could it be to take revenge on her cat for peeing on her blanket last month? Where did she find such a weirdo? Such a lame person could become an idol celebrity??? W: [To be honest, you¡¯re very beautiful. You¡¯re my type.] Jiang Youyi: [Just average looks. Thank you for your praise.] W: [At eight o¡¯clock tomorrow night, make time. I¡¯ll take you on a date. Send me the address and I¡¯ll get my assistant to pick you up. But remember, you can¡¯t take photos when we eat.] Jiang Youyi: [I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t have time.] W: [Then when are you free? The day after tomorrow, or next week? Let¡¯s meet as soon as possible. I¡¯m going out to film after a while, and you won¡¯t be able to see me.] Jiang Youyi: [¡­ Let¡¯s have a meal next time when my sister is around. I¡¯m not used to eating alone with strangers.] W: [We¡¯re not strangers after meeting. We can develop further.] Jiang Youyi: [I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t want to date you.] W: [We haven¡¯t interacted with each other yet. How do you know that you don¡¯t want to? What if you fall in love with me later?] Jiang Youyi: [¡­] W: [Do you want to give us a chance?] W: [Are you still there?] Jiang Youyi sent Jiang Youtian a WeChat message without stopping. [Second Sister, there seems to be something wrong with this person¡¯s brain.] Jiang Youtian: [Wu Di is a pure and straight man. His EQ is a little poor, but his character is very good. Usually, whether it¡¯s the directors or actors who have worked with him, they think that he¡¯s a very down-to-earth person. Try interacting with him first. At least I can guarantee you that he¡¯s definitely better than that scumbag Xu Yuning.] Jiang Youyi: [I don¡¯t want to date.] Jiang Youtian: [Then you guys can chat first. I have work to do. I won¡¯t talk to you anymore.] Jiang Youyi choked speechlessly. She could only lie on the bed and wave at the kitten. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. Burpee, why do I feel that things have become more complicated after being reborn?¡± ¡°Meow, meow. (?_?)¡± The kitten couldn¡¯t be bothered with her and swaggered to the sofa to lie down. At the same time, at the Lu Family¡¯s main residence. ¡°Hubby, what do you think of Bai Bing?¡± Du Meihong was wearing a silk nightdress. She knelt on the bed and massaged Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Bai Bing? Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an turned to look at her. ¡°Isn¡¯t the matter between Yunxiao and Miss Jiang a hot topic recently? Bingbing might be afraid that they would make the act real. That day, she came to ask me if what happened between Yunxiao and Miss Jiang was real. I think this child is quite pitiful. She has liked Yunxiao for so many years, but she gave up such a good opportunity to go overseas for Yunxiao. If she didn¡¯t want to be with Yunxiao, she would have been promoted to a bigger platform long ago. There would be no need for her to stay in Ocean City TV Station.¡± ¡°She came to you?¡± ¡°Yes, she was quite worried that day,¡± Du Meihong said as she went to the cloakroom to find the bag Bai Bing had given her. ¡°She even gave me a bag that cost more than 300,000 yuan. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s money or not. It¡¯s just that there aren¡¯t many of these bags in the country. She specially begged someone to buy it for me.¡± The smartest thing about Du Meihong was that she never played tricks in front of Lu Guo¡¯an. She knew very well that living by Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s side, being petty was no different from pushing herself into a fire pit. It was too easy for him to find out anything. There was no point in lying. Instead, if you told the truth, you might be able to gain his favor. As expected, Lu Guo¡¯an looked at his bag with a complicated gaze. ¡°She¡¯s really attentive to Yunxiao.¡± ¡°As elders, we all know how much that child likes Yunxiao. With our family¡¯s conditions, we naturally don¡¯t lack this bag from her. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m in a difficult position. If I reject her, it¡¯ll be equivalent to rejecting her in Bingbing¡¯s eyes. After all, I¡¯m not Yunxiao¡¯s biological mother. I don¡¯t dare to rashly make decisions for him, so I thought of coming back to ask for your opinion. What do you think of Bingbing? If you don¡¯t like her, I¡¯ll buy something of about the same price and return the favor.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an sighed. After a long while, he leaned against the head of the bed and said, ¡°It¡¯s not that I like her or not. The Bai Family is very well-behaved, but they don¡¯t have a big plan. Bai Bing has been studying well since she was young, her personality is good, and her looks are even better. Only her job allows her to interact with everyone. I don¡¯t want Yunxiao¡¯s future wife to be such a person who shows her face outside all day long.¡± Chapter 36 Set Up The Marriage Early ¡°Hubby, your worries are reasonable, but this is not a big problem,¡± Du Meihong said softly. ¡°Yes, work is indeed not a big problem. I¡¯ve already gotten someone to investigate the young ladies from these families in Ocean City. They are wild in private. Bai Bing has always been quite clean. If she marries Yunxiao, it will be easier.¡± No matter what, she still felt that Bai Bing was fine. Lu Guo¡¯an had always been proud and arrogant. There were very few people who could receive his praise. It was already not bad to hear such an evaluation from him. ¡°Then you have to have a good chat with Yunxiao when you have time. He¡¯s not young anymore. It¡¯s not good for him not to fall in love. Let the two children interact more and settle the marriage as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll tell him about this when I¡¯m free.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask Bingbing¡¯s parents to come to our house for a casual meal tomorrow. What do you think?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already accepted her gift, so it¡¯s only right for you to treat her to a meal. Prepare a few more dishes when the time comes. Regardless of whether the two children are fated or not, don¡¯t neglect her.¡± Du Meihong smiled and clung to his arm. ¡°If you find it troublesome, I¡¯ll return the bag. I¡¯m already so old. Do I still care about a bag? Seriously.¡± ¡°Alright, I was just teasing you.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an smiled and scratched the tip of her nose. At middle age, power and money were no longer important. It was the happiest thing to have his family by his side. Lu Yunxiao was his only child, and he had high hopes for him. As for Du Meihong, she was just a tool for entertainment when he was lonely. The reason why Lu Guo¡¯an gave her a status was purely because he was not someone who liked to hang out with women. In business, a man would not be able to achieve anything if he was obsessed with women. The next morning, Jiang Youyi made an appointment with Zhong Xiaohui last night to go shopping together. She had just left the house in her white BMW when she was forced to stop by a flashy Lamborghini. Just by looking at the license plate, she knew that it was Xu Yuning¡¯s car. Jiang Youyi honked impatiently a few times and had no intention of getting out of the car. To her surprise, Zhang Meng got out of the passenger seat of the Lamborghini first. The moment she saw Zhang Meng, she finally could not remain calm. The memories of her previous life were still vivid in her mind. Zhang Meng came to her door with a big belly to show off and collaborated with Xu Yuning¡¯s mother to plot against her and her parents. Jiang Youyi suppressed the anger in her heart and pushed open the car door to get out of the car. At this moment, Xu Yuning also got out of the car and stood beside Zhang Meng with a solemn expression. Zhang Meng slowly walked towards Jiang Youyi. When she was about a meter away from her, she suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Youyi with a plop. Zhang Meng cried before she could speak. ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s all my fault. I hurt you and ruined your relationship with Yuning. I don¡¯t expect you to forgive me. I just hope that you won¡¯t hate Yuning. This has nothing to do with him. I seduced him.¡± Jiang Youyi felt a chill run down her spine when she heard her familiar voice. This woman was much more difficult to deal with than Xu Yuning. Jiang Youyi walked up to her step by step and looked down at her. She actually wanted to laugh. ¡°Don¡¯t cry¡­ Let¡¯s talk things out. You can¡¯t be too agitated with your health.¡± Xu Yuning couldn¡¯t bear to see her like this. Before she came, Zhang Meng told Xu Yuning that it was her fault that Miss Jiang couldn¡¯t forgive him. She wanted to personally apologize to Jiang Youyi and ask her not to misunderstand Xu Yuning. Ever since Xu Yuning saw the contents of the trending searches, he had been distracted. He really did not know what to do to make Jiang Youyi give him another chance. He did not reject Zhang Meng¡¯s suggestion. However, he did not expect Zhang Meng to apologize to Jiang Youyi on the road. He already felt very guilty for letting Zhang Meng abort the child. He could not accept letting another woman kneel down to another woman for him. Zhang Meng had just had an abortion and her body was weak. She could not even say a complete sentence in the car just now. Moreover, the doctor had instructed her not to be too agitated. Otherwise, it was very likely to cause irreversible damage to her body. Even if he did not like Zhang Meng, he did not want to make things difficult for a woman. Hence, the first thing Xu Yuning said after getting out of the car was getting her not to apologize to Jiang Youyi. He felt sorry for this woman who had a relationship with him and had just aborted his baby. Chapter 37 Coming To Her There was unconcealed sarcasm in Jiang Youyi¡¯s eyes. Why couldn¡¯t she tell in the past that Xu Yuning was a considerate person? ¡°Yuning, this is all my fault. If it weren¡¯t for my obsession, Miss Jiang wouldn¡¯t have misunderstood you and wouldn¡¯t have insisted on breaking up with you. So don¡¯t stop me. This is what I should do. Miss Jiang, you can hit me and scold me, but don¡¯t ignore Yuning, okay? He really loves you. He hasn¡¯t been eating or drinking these few days and has lost a lot of weight. I can see his feelings for you.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s acting skills were still as good as in her previous life. Jiang Youyi was already used to her tricks, so she was not surprised that she could say these words. Jiang Youyi looked at Zhang Meng, who was kneeling at her feet, and smiled instead of being angry. ¡°I¡¯ve seen men apologizing for cheating, but I¡¯ve never seen anyone apologizing with his mistress. It¡¯s really rare for me to hear from a mistress how much the man who has already betrayed me loves me.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s expression froze. He looked at Jiang Youyi in front of him with an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was happy that he could finally see Jiang Youyi again after she had avoided him for so long. He was sad that it had become an extravagant hope for the two of them to talk calmly, let alone reconcile. ¡°Youyi, I don¡¯t expect you to forgive me. I just want you to give me a chance to repent and let me compensate you, okay?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, as long as you¡¯re willing to forgive Yuning, I promise that I¡¯ll never appear in your lives again and never disturb you again. As long as the two of you can be happy, I can completely disappear from your eyes and leave far away.¡± As Zhang Meng spoke, she gradually sobbed, and the expression on her face was even more painful and sad. She knelt at Jiang Youyi¡¯s feet and kept kowtowing. ¡°Can the two of you stop acting? It¡¯s so disgusting.¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the adulterous couple in front of her in disdain. ¡°I¡¯m not acting. I really like you. I hope you can give me another chance.¡± Xu Yuning looked away hurriedly after meeting Jiang Youyi¡¯s eyes. There was an indescribable guilt in his eyes. ¡°Miss Jiang, as long as you can forgive Yuning, I¡¯m willing to do anything you want me to do. I¡¯ve already aborted the child, and I¡¯ll leave this city as soon as possible. I won¡¯t be a stumbling block between the two of you anymore. You¡¯re the only person Yuning wants to marry from the beginning to the end. People like me are not worthy of him at all. So please give him another chance. I beg you.¡± Zhang Meng was always very skilled when she spoke. She put herself in a weaker position and praised Jiang Youyi. It was as if Jiang Youyi was bullying her just because her family background was better than hers. The funniest thing was that she kept emphasizing that she had aborted a child and wanted to use this to morally gaslight her. What did the child have to do with Jiang Youyi? It was all because Xu Yuning¡¯s parents could not tolerate her and the child. Otherwise, how could this woman be obedient? Jiang Youyi did not fall for her trick, but Xu Yu did. The genes that men had carried since ancient times made them unable to resist a woman who admired them and showed weakness in front of them. ¡°What if I don¡¯t agree to give him a chance?¡± Jiang Youyi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the two of them coldly. ¡°Miss Jiang, if you don¡¯t agree, I¡¯ll continue to kneel here until you agree.¡± ¡°Youyi, you¡¯re not someone who will force someone to a dead end. Can you not make things difficult for her? This isn¡¯t just her fault. I¡¯m also at fault. If you¡¯re angry, come at me, okay?¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s heart ached indeed. Looking at Zhang Meng¡¯s affectionate acting skills, he finally couldn¡¯t bear it. He even started to feel that Jiang Youyi was aggressive. Jiang Youyi almost couldn¡¯t hold back her laughter. ¡°I¡¯m making things difficult for her? Is there something wrong with your brain, Xu Yuning? It¡¯s already unlucky enough for me to see the two of you when I went out early in the morning. I was even stopped here by you to watch your very bad performance. Now, you¡¯re telling me that I¡¯m making things difficult for her. Did I make her kneel? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?¡± Xu Yuning was rendered speechless. Jiang Youyi¡¯s words made sense, so he naturally could not refute her. Zhang Meng continued to cry. ¡°Yuning, don¡¯t quarrel with Miss Jiang for me. It¡¯s not worth it. As long as she can forgive you and me, I¡¯m willing to do anything for you. Really.¡± Jiang Youyi originally thought that Xu Yuning could only do such a thing before they got married because he could not control his lower body. Now, it seemed that not only could he not control his lower body, but he was also rotten from the inside out. Jiang Youyi was really disgusted by him bringing a mistress here to apologize and perform here while crying. Chapter 38 I¡¯ll Never Get Up If the Xu Family sent a few more media outlets to capture this scene at this moment, once the video was posted online, the netizens would say that Jiang Youyi was aggressive and wanted to force her to her death. However, only the person involved knew the truth. Jiang Youyi let out a long sigh. ¡°Zhang Meng, stop kneeling.¡± ¡°If Miss Jiang refuses to forgive us, I won¡¯t get up for the rest of my life. I¡¯d rather kneel here until I die. As long as the two of you can live happily, I won¡¯t hesitate to sacrifice my life.¡± Look, what a loving couple. What a touching relationship. ¡°I¡¯ll forgive you if you stand up.¡± Zhang Meng was in disbelief when she heard that. She looked at Jiang Youyi in a daze and even forgot to continue crying. Xu Yuning was also stunned. Youyi forgave her? ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so surprised. You¡¯ve already knelt down and apologized to me. Of course I have to forgive you.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± The situation had suddenly turned around, and Zhang Meng did not know what to say. Her original plan was to kneel in front of Jiang Youyi and beg bitterly, angering her so that she would completely give up on Xu Yuning and say more heartless words. This way, Xu Yuning would slowly stop thinking about her. He should turn back after hitting a wall with Jiang Youyi, right? Unexpectedly, Jiang Youyi was still mocking her a second ago, but she suddenly said that she forgave her the next second. This shouldn¡¯t be the case. She had already come looking for her, so how could she forgive her? Jiang Youyi did not play by the rules and ruined Zhang Meng¡¯s plan, making Xu Yuning dumbfounded. Jiang Youyi walked forward with a gentle gaze and helped Zhang Meng up. Then, she persuaded gently, ¡°You just did the procedure. Your body is weak now. Don¡¯t kneel. Nothing is more important than your body, understand?¡± ¡°Miss¡­ Jiang.¡± Zhang Meng couldn¡¯t get used to Jiang Youyi like this. She was even a little nervous. ¡°What Xu Yuning said made sense just now. This isn¡¯t your fault alone. Although the two of you have let me down, you¡¯re still a woman after all. Why should a woman make things difficult for a woman? Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at her with sincerity and concern. ¡°I¡¯m not looking at anything else. On account that we¡¯ve known each other for a long time, I can¡¯t bear to see you continue kneeling. Get up.¡± At this point, Zhang Meng¡¯s expression changed completely. Xu Yuning suddenly reacted and asked in confusion, ¡°Youyi, the two of you knew each other long ago?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She loves you so much, but she didn¡¯t even tell you about this?¡± Jiang Youyi had also learned to play dumb. ¡°Zhang Meng, did you know each other before?¡± Xu Yuning stared at the woman kneeling on the ground and asked coldly. Zhang Meng had never told him that she knew Jiang Youyi long ago. He met this woman on the night of the company¡¯s team building. At that time, he only thought that their meeting was a coincidence. Even when he was with Zhang Meng, he often mentioned his girlfriend, Jiang Youyi. However, Zhang Meng always pretended to be very interested in Jiang Youyi and even asked him what kind of person Miss Jiang was to make him love her wholeheartedly. She never revealed that she knew her. What was Zhang Meng hiding? ¡°Yuning, let me explain. It¡¯s not what you think¡­¡± Zhang Meng never expected Jiang Youyi to say that she knew her here. She was much smarter than she thought. She even thought that Jiang Youyi had forgotten about her long ago. After all, it had been too long since that year. Moreover, she did not look like this back then, nor was her name Zhang Meng. ¡°Let me explain for her. She worked as a helper in our house for a period of time. At that time, she didn¡¯t call herself by her current name, right, Zhang Xue?¡± Jiang Youyi exposed her last cover mercilessly. When Xu Yuning heard that, he looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. He looked as if he had been electrocuted and his eyes were dull. ¡°Alright, since the matter has been resolved, you can leave.¡± ¡°Youyi, then our marriage¡­ Didn¡¯t you say that you forgave me just now?¡± After Xu Yuning came back to his senses, he took a few steps forward and wanted to hold Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand. ¡°Xu Yuning, did you hear wrongly? I said that I forgave Zhang Xue, but I didn¡¯t say that I forgave you.¡± Xu Yuning stood on the spot awkwardly, not daring to go forward. ¡°Your performance was very exciting, especially Zhang Xue. It¡¯s indeed a waste of your talent to be a helper. You¡¯re more suitable to be an actress. Good luck. I think highly of you.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled and turned around to return to her car. She stepped on the accelerator and left the two of them. The wind and dust blew on their faces. Chapter 39 Looking For Trouble To be honest, if Zhang Meng and Xu Yuning did not rush to cause trouble, she did not intend to have any more interactions with this adulterous couple, especially Zhang Meng. Jiang Youyi really could not be bothered with her. If she insisted on coming up to court death, she could not be blamed. Speaking of her and Zhang Meng, it was indeed many years ago. At that time, she had just returned from overseas and was about 18 years old. She met Xu Yuning in the same year. After that, Xu Yuning started to pursue her fiercely. At that time, the Jiang Family¡¯s kitchen maid, Mrs. Zeng, said that she had a relative who wanted to come to the city to earn some tuition fees during the summer break. She asked Mrs. Jiang if she could arrange some work for her. The Jiang Family did not lack the money to hire a helper. Moreover, Mother Jiang heard that this little girl was about the same age as her youngest daughter. She could not bear it and let her come. When Zhang Meng came to the Jiang Family to be a helper, she was just in her first year. She usually stayed in the kitchen and did some trivial work. It was not tiring. At that time, she was still called Zhang Xue. She worked efficiently, and Mrs. Jiang liked her very much. However, she gradually gave herself away and tried to seduce Jiang Nian with ill intentions several times. She was discovered by Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi told her mother to chase her away from home. Ever since then, Zhang Meng had started to hate her. Later on, she saved up money and had plastic surgery on her entire face. She looked much better than before and changed her name to deliberately get close to Xu Yuning. Hence, even Xu Yuning would not believe that all of this was a coincidence, right? In the car on the way back, Zhang Meng explained as she cried, ¡°Yuning, Jiang Youyi deliberately sowed discord between us. Don¡¯t believe her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t believe her? Your face and your name are all fake. Tell me, what else is real about you?¡± ¡°I changed my name a long time ago. I did plastic surgery because my classmates bullied me when I was in school. That¡¯s why I saved up money to do plastic surgery. I didn¡¯t lie to you on purpose. I just haven¡¯t thought of when to confess to you. Really.¡± ¡°You used to be a helper in the Jiang Family, so you knew me a long time ago, right? Did you approach me to take revenge on Youyi?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t been in the Jiang Family for long. I haven¡¯t even seen you before. How can I know you? Moreover, the two of us have been together for so long. Can¡¯t you feel my sincerity towards you? Yuning.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s intestines were turning green with regret. She shouldn¡¯t have provoked Jiang Youyi. She had wanted to disgust Jiang Youyi, but now, she had gone for wool and come home shorn. Even Xu Yuning¡¯s last bit of guilt towards her was gone by her. ¡°Then why did you hide it from me? Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you knew each other long ago?¡± Xu Yuning punched the steering wheel and roared. He now felt that he had been played by this weak-looking woman in front of him. At the thought that he was about to marry Youyi and all of this had been ruined by this woman in front of him, he wished he could kill her. ¡°It¡¯s really not what you think. Let me explain to you, okay?¡± ¡°Get lost, now!¡± Xu Yuning could no longer control his anger. He had long had enough of being mocked and ridiculed by the Jiang Family these few days. He had used his warm face to stick to the Jiang Family¡¯s cold butt. When did he, Xu Yuning, need to be so humble? And all of this was because of her! That b*tch! He braked and stopped the car by the roadside, chasing Zhang Meng out of the car. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you the money. Please don¡¯t appear in my life again. I feel sick just looking at you now.¡± ¡°Yuning, don¡¯t say that¡­¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Xu Yuning had grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth. After so many years, who didn¡¯t call him Young Master Xu when they saw him? He felt disgusted at the thought that he had actually slept with the former helper of the Jiang Family. He wasn¡¯t discriminating against the profession of a helper. He just felt that Zhang Meng, who had schemed to get close to him, was disgusting. What was even more unacceptable to him was that Jiang Youyi clearly knew about this long ago, but she didn¡¯t say it earlier or later. She just had to expose this today, turning him into a fool. A fool who was played around by others. Jiang Youyi was in a hurry to attend the appointment just now. If she hadn¡¯t agreed to go shopping with Zhong Xiaohui long ago, she actually wouldn¡¯t mind chatting with that adulterous couple. As soon as the two of them met, Zhong Xiaohui grabbed her hand excitedly. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re f*cking more awesome than female celebrities now. Your sister hasn¡¯t been on the trending searches as much as you have! You¡¯re on the trending searches again, do you know?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mess with me¡­¡± Jiang Youyi was dumbfounded. Zhong Xiaohui turned on her cell phone and handed it to Jiang Youyi. ¡°Look.¡± Chapter 40 The Man Who Always Causes Trouble A big verified account on Weibo posted on Weibo¡ª[Amy Cheung wrote in ¡°Missing¡±: ¡°Love is the endless longing for each other. It¡¯s a worry that can never be let go. It¡¯s a willing bond.¡± To women, once they completely fell in love with a man, they could not control their emotions. They would always inadvertently reveal their adoration and appear especially gentle and affectionate. Actually, when a woman was really aroused, her words and actions would change. It could be seen with a little observation. For example, she would always pester you to chat. Her words were filled with true love. Not only were her words moving, but she was also gentle and cute. Or, as long as she interacted with you, she would quietly approach you and take the initiative to have some physical contact with you, hoping to develop an intimate relationship as soon as possible. Another example was that every time she went on a date with you, she would deliberately dress up exquisitely and beautifully, making your eyes light up and making you especially intoxicated. Whenever men realized that a woman had such behavior, they had to dote on her with their hearts to avoid missing out on true love. At the end of the day, women like you mostly have these three expressions. Don¡¯t realize it later.] What was worse was that Lu Yunxiao reposted this Weibo post and tagged her again. He even said¡ª[It¡¯s too troublesome to guess, so do you like me or not?] As soon as Lu Yunxiao posted on Weibo, he firmly reserved the number one position on the trending searches. Fans and onlookers began to comment and repost crazily. Jiang Youyi¡¯s Weibo fell again. Jiang Youyi looked at the comments on the screen and her mind was about to explode. What hornet¡¯s nest had she stirred up? Jiang Youyi was furious. She turned on WeChat and questioned the fellow who caused trouble. Jiang Youyi: [What exactly do you want?] Lu Yunxiao: [What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.] Jiang Youyi: [Can you stop pretending?] Lu Yunxiao: [I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.] Jiang Youyi: [I did agree to work with you, but this doesn¡¯t include you getting me up on the trending searches time and time again, okay? It¡¯s fine if you disturb me alone, but now, even my family is disturbed by your fanatic fans. You¡¯ve already seriously affected my life, understand?] Lu Yunxiao: [I¡¯m just asking the question in my heart. Didn¡¯t you say that you liked me in front of everyone?] Jiang Youyi: [¡­So what? Don¡¯t you already know why?] Lu Yunxiao: [But you¡¯re just saying it and haven¡¯t put it into practice. The relationship experts have already said that your behavior is called making empty promises. To put it more seriously, you¡¯re a scumbag.] Jiang Youyi: [Are you addicted to playing? What exactly do you want?!] Lu Yunxiao: [If you like me, take action.] Jiang Youyi: [What do you want me to do? If not, I¡¯ll go to your office and kowtow to you. Is that okay?] Lu Yunxiao: [If you want, that¡¯s fine too.] Jiang Youyi: [Why didn¡¯t I realize that you were so shameless in the past? Aren¡¯t you afraid of shortening your lifespan if I kowtow to you?] Lu Yunxiao: [Jiang Youyi, I want to eat the bento you sent over within an hour. I don¡¯t accept couriers or takeout delivery. You have to send it to my office personally. If it¡¯s time and the takeout doesn¡¯t arrive¡­] Jiang Youyi: [Can you stop fooling around? Lu Yunxiao, get your secretary to go downstairs and buy whatever you want to eat! Can I reimburse you?!] Lu Yunxiao: [If the takeaway doesn¡¯t arrive when the time comes, I¡¯ll continue to tag you on Weibo.] Jiang Youyi: [F*ck, do your fans know how shameless you are?] Lu Yunxiao: [I don¡¯t eat coriander, garlic, onions, ginger, or peppers. I hope that the bento will still be warm when you send it to me, because my stomach will hurt when I eat cold food.] Jiang Youyi: [Do you need me to chew the rice and feed it to you?] Lu Yunxiao: [Is this also part of our play? I can accept it.] Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth on the other end of the phone. If not for the fact that they were too far away, she would have flown over and elbowed him. Were all the richest men so shameless? It seemed that his assets were accumulated by freeloading, right? ¡°Youyi, should we go to Myriad City first or your mall? If we go to your house, can we get a discount on everything we buy? Hahaha. ¡°Xiaohui¡­ I¡¯m afraid¡­ I¡¯m going to stand you up again.¡± Jiang Youyi felt embarrassed when she said this. ¡°Ah? Did something happen?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to¡­ send food to a dog,¡± Jiang Youyi said through gritted teeth. ¡°When did you get a dog?¡± Zhong Xiaohui suddenly saw the conversation between Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao on her cell phone. She quickly realized what was going on. ¡°Are you really going to send food to Lu Yunxiao?¡± ¡°I have to go. Otherwise, he¡¯ll spout nonsense online again. I¡¯ve been annoyed to death by those fans these few days.¡± Jiang Youyi no longer wanted to experience the feeling of being surrounded and thrown eggs. Hence, the urgent matter now was to pacify the man who was always causing trouble. Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: We Do Have a Child Chapter 41: We Do Have a Child Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the two of you want to make it real? Do you really plan to connect the richest man seamlessly?¡± ¡°A seamless connection¡­¡± Jiang Youyi was caught in between laughter and tears. ¡°Hurry up and send food over, my poor baby.¡± Although Zhong Xiaohui didn¡¯t know what had happened between her best friend and the big shot, she knew that it must be something extraordinary for Lu Yunxiao to tag her twice in a row. When Jiang Youyi appeared at the Qihe Corporation¡¯s headquarters with a bento box in her hand, it was as if she was carrying a bomb. The media, who had been waiting here for a long time, swarmed forward and surrounded them tightly. ¡°Miss Jiang, are you really dating President Lu?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, did you specially come to deliver lunch to President Lu?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s rumored that you and President Lu knew each other long before you broke off the engagement. Is that true?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, do you have anything to say to President Lu?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, is there any possibility of you getting back together with Young Master Xu?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, according to the grapevine, not only do you know President Lu for a long time, but you also gave birth to a son for him when you were overseas. Is this true?¡± Hearing this, Jiang Youyi¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Yes, we did have a child.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, all the reporters were stunned for half a minute. When they reacted, they handed the microphone forward like crazy, afraid that they would miss this earth-shattering news. ¡°Miss Jiang, may 1 ask who the child belongs to now? Who is taking care of it?¡± The male reporter who asked the question was abnormally excited. Jiang Youyi looked at him and said unhurriedly, ¡°We gave birth to a useless son. That son had nothing to do every day and insisted on being paparazzi. Then, he even shamelessly surrounded his biological mother in front of everyone.¡± When the male reporter reacted, his face stiffened. The other reporters beside him also understood what Jiang Youyi meant. ¡°Miss Jiang, you¡¯re insulting me!¡± The male reporter was even indignant. ¡°What about you? Is your cerebellum not fully developed or are you mentally unstable? You said something to a twenty-three-year-old who has been back in the country for five years about secretly giving birth to a child overseas. ¡°Even if you¡¯re lying, you have to have a reason and a stronghold. You can¡¯t just say anything. As a paparazzo, you have to have a bottom line. Accumulate some virtue for your living parents and unborn child.¡± After Jiang Youyi finished rebuking in one breath, she turned around nimbly, leaving only her back view to this group of people. A certain big shot sitting in the president¡¯s office watched the entire scene through the surveillance camera. The male secretary was so frightened that he stole a glance at her. He could not help but exclaim in his heart. This Miss Jiang was really bold. Even he almost thought that she really had a child with the president. The scandal between the two of them had spread all over the world, so no one in the headquarters dared to stop Jiang Youyi. She got into Lu Yunxiao¡¯s exclusive presidential elevator and went straight to the top floor. ¡°Miss Jiang, please come in.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s male secretary guarded the door carefully. Jiang Youyi nodded lightly at him, then pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°There¡¯s no coriander, garlic, green onions, ginger, or peppers. The lunchbox is still warm. Hurry up and enjoy it.¡± Jiang Youyi forced a dry smile and slammed the lunchbox on Lu Yunxiao¡¯s desk. ¡°You look very reluctant.¡± Lu Yunxiao leaned lazily against the boss¡¯s chair and looked at the woman in front of him with interest. ¡°You must be mistaken. It¡¯s my fortune to be able to deliver food to you. How can 1 be unwilling? I¡¯m overjoyed.¡± Lu Yunxiao chuckled without batting an eyelid. He opened the lunchbox and put the pork ribs into his mouth with his chopsticks. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll drug you?¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± ¡°I definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to use rat poison or arsenic. If I poison you to death, 1¡¯11 go to jail. But I can still put in some diarrhea medicine. The police won¡¯t arrest me just because you have diarrhea.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t do that. I believe you.¡± Lu Yunxiao slowly took a few bites before putting down his chopsticks. ¡°You make it sound like you know me very well. 1 really hate it when you look like you have everything under control.¡± Jiang Youyi sat on the leather sofa in his office casually. The coffee-colored windbreaker looked outstanding under the light from above. The moment Lu Yunxiao¡¯s gaze swept past her, he took in her graceful figure. Jiang Youyi had a good foundation. She was the kind of person who would stand out in the crowd even without makeup. Therefore, it was normal for Xu Yuning to fall in love with her at first glance when he saw her at the age of 18. People said that love at first sight was just a better expression for lust at first sight. Therefore, what Xu Yuning wanted to get was definitely the beautiful Jiang Youyi from back then. ¡°You have a sharp tongue..¡± Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Dont Tell Me You Really Like Her Chapter 42: Don¡¯t Tell Me You Really Like Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi instantly realized what he was referring to. This kid had probably been staring at the surveillance camera just now. Since she dared to say that at the entrance of his company, she was naturally not afraid that he would find out. ¡°I¡¯m not as good as you. Your words set off a thousand waves.¡± She was naturally referring to what he had said on Weibo. ¡°You¡¯re used to being sarcastic.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing compared to you.¡± ¡°The lunchbox tastes good. Thank you.¡± Jiang Youyi stood up slowly. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. This is the last time anyway. I¡¯ve had enough fun. Regarding the collaboration you proposed, I officially propose to terminate it. There¡¯s more than one way to get rid of Xu Yuning. 1 won¡¯t give you another chance to tease me.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood.¡± Lu Yunxiao slowly stood up and walked to the water dispenser to get a glass of warm water. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m not falling for your tricks.¡± ¡°I poured it for myself.¡± A certain big shot drank the water with a faint smile while brazenly sizing up Jiang Youyi¡¯s interesting expression. Jiang Youyi:¡­ To be honest, if she wasn¡¯t afraid of death, she really wanted to jump down from the top floor. Was there anyone more awkward than her in the world? No way. ¡°I¡¯m not joking with you. 1 don¡¯t plan to continue working with you. Please don¡¯t tag me on Weibo so often in the future. Thank you.¡± ¡°But 1 think it¡¯s good to work with you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you think that you can slowly act on the stage you set up.¡± Jiang Youyi sneered and stood up. Lu Yunxiao watched her leave and didn¡¯t say anything. He only chuckled. This smile was an eyesore to Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi was furious and turned to leave. Halfway there, she suddenly turned around and reached out to him. ¡°The bento tastes good, doesn¡¯t it? A total of sixteen thousand and six hundred. Transfer or cash?¡± ¡°¡­ I didn¡¯t expect you to have the potential to be a profiteer.¡± ¡°The bento is 166 yuan. However, my labor fees, the psychological damage caused by the unscrupulous paparazzi who spread rumors, the compensation for being blocked at the door by them, and the compensation for being attacked by your fans online, in addition to the compensation for severely hurting my young heart, the reputation loss from working with you, and the money from chatting with you just now. This is already a discount for you. President Lu, are you trying to go back on your word?¡± Lu Yunxiao looked at her carefully with interest before picking up his phone to transfer the money. ¡°The Alipay account has received 16,600 dollars¡ª¡± She felt comfortable all over. Jiang Youyi¡¯s head stopped hurting and her heart wasn¡¯t making a fuss anymore. She turned around and left. ¡°Thank you, President Lu. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡± That¡¯s right. Didn¡¯t she get the money back from the meal he scammed last time? There was no way he could take out her pocket. Jiang Youyi¡¯s main goal in living to this age was to accompany one and not fork out the cents. When she left, in order to avoid the chattering paparazzi, Jiang Youyi sneaked out of the underground garage without anyone noticing. In the afternoon, Lin Feng had nothing to do, so he sent a video call to his two brothers. As soon as the three of them connected the call, they saw Lu Yunxiao eating with a pink spoon and pink chopsticks. The two people opposite him were so shocked that they could not speak. Lin Feng: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°You¡­ Are you going to be my sister from now on?¡± Lu Yunxiao slowly placed his chopsticks and spoon on the table. ¡°Jiang Youyi sent it over.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°F*ck, the two of you really did it?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°When I saw your Weibo, 1 knew that there was something going on between the two of you. Is the lunchbox delicious?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious. After all, the price is very high.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you really like Jiang Youyi?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°She was the one who liked me first. She confessed in public first.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. I just want to say one thing. Don¡¯t play with the young lady. That girl is already pitiful enough. She just experienced that shameless premarital affair of Xu Yuning¡¯s. She¡¯s probably still feeling sad now.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Her feeling sad? She¡¯s happier than you, okay?¡± Wang Jiangbei said, ¡°You should understand him. He loves Jiang Youyi¡¯s Second Sister. Naturally, he has to put in a good word for her sister.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°To be honest, 1 really like Youtian. If she¡¯s willing to be with me, 1 promise to give her a grand wedding of the century. At that time, if 1 become the only man among the three of us with a wife and children, don¡¯t be envious.¡± ¡°President Lu, the chairman is looking for you.¡± The male secretary walked over with the phone and gently handed it to Lu Yunxiao. The three of them could only stop chatting.. Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Bai Bings Hint Chapter 43: Bai Bing¡¯s Hint Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Got it. See you tonight.¡± After hanging up, he got up and put on his suit. Ever since his mother passed away, the relationship between father and son had become more and more distant. Although they would meet during festive seasons, they were still as distant as strangers. A large part of it was because Du Meihong had married into the Lu family. Other than her instigation, a huge reason was also because of Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s personality. He was domineering and arbitrary, always wanting to make decisions. Lu Yunxiao was not an obedient child, so no matter if it was about the company or life, they often parted on bad terms. Lu Yunxiao had already moved out of the Lu Family¡¯s main residence the year Lu Guo¡¯an and Du Meihong got married. Therefore, he returned to the main residence to eat just to deal with his father. Just now, Lu Guo¡¯an had made it clear on the phone that he was going to invite Bai Bing and her family to a banquet tonight. There was no need to say too much. The meaning in his words could not be more obvious. Old Man Lu had always been a condescending person. There were not many people who could make him hold a banquet at home. Although the Bai family was not considered to be in the top circle, Mrs. Bai and Lu Yunxiao¡¯s biological mother were very good friends in their early years. The two families had never stopped contacting each other all these years, especially since Bai Bing had been favoring Lu Yunxiao all these years. The elders of the two families and the person involved knew very well. At six o¡¯clock in the evening, at the Lu family¡¯s main residence. The black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped in the middle of the courtyard. Lu Yunxiao opened the door and got out of the car expressionlessly. ¡°Yunxiao, you¡¯re back. The food is ready. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Du Meihong welcomed him warmly and reached out to take Lu Yunxiao¡¯s coat. Lu Yunxiao handed the suit to the maid, Auntie Xia. Du Meihong¡¯s hand stopped in midair, and her expression was a little stiff. She did not expect Lu Yunxiao to not even give her this bit of face, especially when there were outsiders present. ¡°You got off work much earlier than usual today.¡± Bai Bing took the initiative to walk over and help the two of them out. Lu Yunxiao glanced at her and could tell that she had dressed up meticulously for this dinner. Dior¡¯s new Chinese-style black dress had just the right amount of creases and was decorated with bows at the waist. To be able to become a famous host, there was no doubt about Bai Bing¡¯s beauty. After dressing up like this, she became even more gentle. In terms of appearance alone, Old Man Lu felt that Bai Bing was enough to enter the Lu Family. ¡°Mm.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s tone was indifferent. After saying that, he walked towards the living room and saw his father and Bai Bing¡¯s parents sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, long time no see.¡± ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s been a long time. Why do 1 feel that Yunxiao has become much more handsome?¡± Mrs. Bai looked at Lu Yunxiao as if he was her child. She did not hide the love in her eyes. She could always see the shadow of her good friend on his impeccable face. ¡°Has the company been busy recently?¡± Father Bai took the initiative to ask. ¡°I¡¯m fine, Uncle. I¡¯m not too busy.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t just focus on work. Your father said that once you¡¯re busy, there won¡¯t be day or night. That won¡¯t do. Although you¡¯re young now, your physical fitness won¡¯t be so good in a few years. You¡¯ll know how harmful staying up late is to your body. Young people, your body is the capital for revolution.¡± ¡°Thank you, Uncle. I¡¯ll definitely be careful in the future.¡± Lu Yunxiao was only exchanging pleasantries with the two elders, so there was no enthusiasm in his words. This was also what had been giving Bai Bing a headache all these years. Even if you were close to Lu Yunxiao and ate and chatted with him, you would still feel that he was thousands of miles away and difficult to get close to. This was a distance that Bai Bing could not shorten no matter how hard she tried. ¡°Don¡¯t stand there. Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Father Lu raised his hand to greet them. The two families sat down to eat. As expected, they complimented each other and exchanged pleasantries during the meal. Especially with an outsider like Du Meihong around, they did not have the familiar feeling of being lively when they were young. After dinner, Father Lu made an excuse that he wanted to have tea with the Bai family¡¯s parents and asked Lu Yunxiao to bring Bai Bing to the backyard. Lu Yunxiao nodded and the two of them walked out together. The evening breeze blew past her face. Looking at the begonias that were blooming just right, Bai Bing¡¯s heart inexplicably sped up like a drum. ¡°How have you been¡­ lately?¡± she asked, feigning casualness. ¡°The usual.¡± ¡°During this period of time, the entertainment section has been talking about you and Third Afass Jiang. You¡¯re not someone who likes to show your face in public. It¡¯s quite annoying to be dragged in front of the public like this.¡± Bai Bing¡¯s words were very clear. If it wasn¡¯t for that woman surnamed Jiang throwing herself at you, you wouldn¡¯t have become someone else¡¯s topic of conversation. How could she know the inside story? Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Unexpected Answer Chapter 44: Unexpected Answer Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Lu Yunxiao looked at Bai Bing¡¯s carefully disguised face with a calm expression. ¡°I just¡­¡± Bai Bing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him like that. Her cheeks were slightly red. The words that she had wanted to say in her mind could not be said for a moment. ¡°The elders of our families haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Now that you suddenly brought your parents to visit, you definitely don¡¯t just want to visit my father. What else do you want to do?¡± ¡°Do you think we came here for some purpose?¡± Bai Bing was really a little sad. Lu Yunxiao looked down at the time on his watch. ¡°I have other things to do. If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Seeing how impatient he was, Bai Bing gritted her teeth and made up her mind. After all, such an opportunity was too rare. If she did not say something now, she might not have another chance in the future. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, what do you think of me?¡± She was so nervous that she didn¡¯t dare to look at the man opposite her. Lu Yunxiao glanced at her from head to toe and asked, ¡°You want to marry into the Lu family?¡± Bai Bing was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained, ¡°No, you misunderstood. I don¡¯t want to climb up the social ladder of your Lu family and be the wife of the richest man. Although my family isn¡¯t as big as yours, it¡¯s enough for me to live without worry for the rest of my life. I just¡­ like you. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, I¡¯ve liked you since I was young. Don¡¯t you have any feelings for me?¡± Bai Bing said as the tip of her nose uncontrollably turned sour. It was as if the grievances that she had accumulated for many years were like a flood that drowned her entire body. She had liked him since she was young and had liked him until now. It was impossible for him not to feel it. He must know. ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t deny it. Bai Bing had surrounded him since he was young. When she was with him, no matter if it was her words or actions, they were unnatural. If he still couldn¡¯t tell what she was thinking, it only proved that he was blind. ¡°So, what did I do to make you feel that I¡¯m not worthy of you? Is it because my job isn¡¯t good enough, or my appearance isn¡¯t eye-catching enough, or is it because I don¡¯t meet your family¡¯s criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law?¡± Bai Bing knew very well that her many years of relationship was just a one-man show. Lu Yunxiao had never responded in the past, and he would not respond in the future. If Lu Yunxiao liked her at all, the two of them would have been together long ago. He wouldn¡¯t still be single at this age. Lu Yunxiao had never had a girlfriend, not even someone he liked. His love history was blank. Bai Bing was the same. All these years, she had rejected all the people around her who were trying to woo her, so that she could wait for Lu Yunxiao to turn around and look at her one day. ¡°You don¡¯t have to belittle yourself. You¡¯re very good. What you said isn¡¯t something I value.¡± ¡°Then why¡ª¡± ¡°If you want to use the relationship between your parents to pressure me, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re going to be disappointed. I won¡¯t listen to my father¡¯s arrangements for marriage.¡± ¡°You think too complicated of me. I have no intention of using someone else to pressure you. I just want to meet you. You know, if I really want to rely on my parents to pressure you, given the friendship between our mothers¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s end it here.¡± Lu Yunxiao frowned slightly. He was unwilling to mention the past at all. ¡°Let me be blunt. I won¡¯t be a good partner or a qualified husband. I won¡¯t be able to give you the love you want. If you want to talk about love, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. If you just want a decent husband and a life, I can give it to you. Similarly, what I need isn¡¯t a lover, but a partner who can work together for a long time.¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m willing.¡± Bai Bing thought that she had finally moved him. Unexpectedly, in the next second, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s eyes darkened. He looked at the woman and said word by word, ¡°If you win against Jiang Youyi, I can marry you.¡± ¡°What?¡± Bai Bing thought that she had heard wrongly, so she repeated in disbelief. ¡°Think about it and make a decision, but remember to be careful. Don¡¯t regret your decision. I¡¯ll give you one last piece of advice. The end of this path is most likely not the life you want. Think carefully.¡± Lu Yunxiao had always been a man of few words. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to use a long speech to express his intentions. There were some things that had to be said. Whether he could understand them depended on himself. Bai Bing was still rooted to the ground when Lu Yunxiao disappeared from the backyard. She really did not understand. Actually, she had already been mentally prepared before coming to the Lu Family. Either she would be rejected without hesitation, which was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s usual style of doing things, or he would choose after weighing the pros and cons. This was her only chance of winning. But no matter what, she did not expect such an answer.. Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Xu Yuning Is Sick Chapter 45: Xu Yuning Is Sick Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations If you win against Jiang Youyi, 1 can marry you. This sentence repeated over and over in Bai Bing¡¯s mind. It was deafening. She had many questions. Why did she have to beat Jiang Youyi? How could she beat her? Could it be that the rumors were true? Did the two of them really have an emotional entanglement? Did Lu Yunxiao give her the same opportunity as he gave Jiang Youyi? How did he feel about Jiang Youyi? Did he want to see her suffer a crushing defeat, or did he treat her as an emotional mediator between the two of them? If she won against her, he would marry her. What would happen if she lost? In an instant, Bai Bing felt as if her brain had turned into a pot of paste. Her chaotic thoughts messed up her heart. However, she could not ask anyone for help, let alone tell her parents. Lu Yunxiao was right. She did need to think about it carefully. How was she going to take this path? Half an hour later, Bai Bing and her family drove out of the Lu Family¡¯s main residence. On the way back, Bai Bing sat in the back seat and sent a message to a private detective friend¡ªJiang Youyi, the third daughter of the king of department stores, Jiang Yunfei. Help me check all the information about her life. *** Xu Yuning fell sick suddenly. He had a very long dream the night before. He dreamed that his wedding with Jiang Youyi would be held smoothly, and the two of them would finally walk into the grave of marriage as they wished. The days after marriage were more boring than they had imagined. No matter how good their relationship was, it turned into an ordinary and mundane life after marriage. Your mother, my mother, and your aunts. In his dream, he quickly got tired of this marriage. That face that he could not forget at first sight also felt dull. In the beginning, he would occasionally go to Zhang Meng¡¯s place cautiously. Later on, he slowly became bolder. He went to Zhang Meng¡¯s place more often than he went home. In his dream, Zhang Meng¡¯s child was not aborted. He was even very nervous and excited when he found out that Zhang Meng was pregnant. When he confessed this to his mother, not only did Mrs. Xu not blame him, but she also tried her best to persuade him to keep this grandson and help him plan. The mother and son had transferred their assets without anyone knowing and were also carrying a lot of foreign debt. Hence, by the time Jiang Youyi realized this and insisted on getting a divorce, it was too late. In his dream, Xu Yuning clearly saw Jiang Youyi¡¯s disbelieving gaze and red eyes. Even if he was dreaming, he couldn¡¯t help but pity Jiang Youyi when he saw how sad she was. ¡°Xu Yuning, you¡¯re so ruthless. What do you take our years of relationship for?¡± ¡°Youyi, let me explain¡­¡± Xu Yuning thought that he must have lost his mind. Back then, when they got married, he swore to love and protect the woman for the rest of her life, regardless of whether they were poor or rich. Why did he do those despicable things and make her sad again and again? ¡°Youyi, don¡¯t go¡­ Youyi!¡± He woke up with an urgent call. After waking up for a long time, he realized that he had only been dreaming. In the end, he collapsed the next day. The illness came suddenly and violently. After separating from Jiang Youyi, he moved back to the old residence to live with his parents and sister. Therefore, the first person to discover that he was sick was Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu¡¯s heart ached when she saw that her son could not even get out of bed. She quickly arranged for someone to send him to his subordinate¡¯s private hospital. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t be anxious. CEO Xu¡¯s illness is fine.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing wrong, why did he faint? Why hasn¡¯t he woken up yet?¡± ¡°CEO Xu probably has a fever because he caught a cold. His temperature is a little high, so he hasn¡¯t woken up for a long time. We took his blood and checked. There¡¯s no other problem.¡± ¡°How is that possible? Yuning hasn¡¯t gone out for a long time.¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s face was filled with worry. ¡°There¡¯s another possibility¡­¡± The doctor hesitated. ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly.¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s tone was strong and unquestionable. ¡°It¡¯s very likely because CEO Xu has been in a bad mood recently. He¡¯s depressed and his body and heart have been on the verge of collapse. He fell sick after suffering a little cold.¡± ¡°You mean¡­¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s expression gradually turned ugly. She was not a fool. How could she not understand the meaning behind the doctor¡¯s words? She knew that her son liked that girl from the Jiang family, but she did not expect him to be so useless. There were plenty of women in the world, and now he had become like this because of Jiang Youyi. Mrs. Xu looked at her son, who was lying on the bed, and felt angry and heartbroken. She really couldn¡¯t do anything to him.. Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: You Dare to Appear Chapter 46: You Dare to Appear Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Mom, why don¡¯t I get Sister Youyi to come over?¡± ¡°Come back. Why are you looking for her? It¡¯s all that woman¡¯s fault that your brother has become like this. If that woman cared about the relationship between the two of them, she wouldn¡¯t have embarrassed our family in front of so many people. Now that she¡¯s hooked up with the Lu family, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll be even more arrogant.¡± In Mrs. Xu¡¯s eyes, Jiang Youyi had never loved her son. If they had any feelings for each other, she would not have broken off the engagement so resolutely. Her son had only made a mistake that all men in the world would make, but she refused to let it go. It was impossible for her to beg that Jiang brat and lower her head in front of her! The news of Xu Yuning¡¯s sudden illness quickly spread throughout the Xu Corporation. Zhang Meng, who had been neglected by Xu Yuning for a long time, naturally heard the news. After dressing up meticulously, she immediately found the hospital where Xu Yuning was staying. ¡°Madam, there¡¯s a young woman at the door. She said that she¡¯s here to visit CEO Xu.¡± After the bodyguard at the door reported, Mrs. Xu tucked her son in and walked out of the ward with doubts. The moment she saw Zhang Meng, she knew who this woman was. Although this was the first time they had met, the information and photos Jiang Youyi took out that day were flawless. Zhang Meng was easy to recognize. Zhang Meng specially went to the mall this morning to buy a gentle dress before she left. She thought that she had to make a good impression in front of Mrs. Xu for the first time. Xu for the first time. ¡°Auntie, 1 heard that Brother Yuning is sick, so I came to take a look.¡± Before Zhang Meng could finish her sentence, Mrs. Xu went up and slapped her twice on the face. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. ¡°You b*tch, I didn¡¯t settle scores with you, but you came to me today!¡± Mrs. Xu had nowhere to vent her anger, so she vented it all on her. Zhang Meng knew what might happen to her before she came. Therefore, after being slapped twice, there were no tears or confusion. She just got up from the ground silently and explained to Mrs. Xu, ¡°Auntie, I¡¯ve already aborted the child. 1 also accompanied Yuning to apologize to Miss Jiang. I even knelt down to Miss Jiang and begged her to forgive Yuning. If she¡¯s willing to reconcile with Yuning, I can move to another city immediately. This is all my fault. I was blinded by love and destroyed the relationship between them. So, if there¡¯s a chance to make it up to them, I¡¯m willing to do anything for Yuning.¡± ¡°You knelt before Jiang Youyi?¡± This was something Mrs. Xu had never expected. ¡°Yes, I know that 1 don¡¯t have any family background and I¡¯m not worthy of Yuning. The child has already been aborted, so 1 don¡¯t dare to have any other hopes. I also saw the news today that Yuning is unconscious. I¡¯m really¡­ really worried. Although I know 1 shouldn¡¯t appear in front of you, I just want to come and see him.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s tears fell as she spoke. Bean-sized tears flowed down the tip of her nose and landed on the ground. ¡°You¡¯re right. You¡¯re not good enough for my son.¡± ¡°Auntie, 1 know you¡¯re angry. As long as you can calm down, you can hit me and scold me as much as you want. I just beg you not to chase me away. I want to stay and take care of Yuning. 1 promise you that as long as Yuning recovers, I¡¯ll disappear from your sight immediately. You take care of Yuning here every day. Your body can¡¯t take it anymore, so give me a chance to make up for it, okay?¡± ¡°You want to stay? It¡¯s not impossible.¡± Mrs. Xu looked down at her condescendingly. ¡°Since you know that you¡¯re in the wrong, if you can kneel down and apologize to that little girl Jiang Youyi, you can naturally kneel down to me. Kneel here until I¡¯m not angry anymore. Perhaps I can let you stay.¡± With that, Mrs. Xu turned around and walked into the ward. She did not forget to warn the bodyguards to guard the door and not let any Tom, Dick, or Harry in. Zhang Meng suppressed her anger. She had long heard that Mrs. Xu was difficult to deal with and that she was a powerful character. However, she did not expect her to be so stubborn. She told herself over and over again that only through hardship can one rise above others. The humiliation she suffered today could be exchanged for a happy life in the future. Zhang Meng gritted her teeth and knelt at the door of the ward. She braced herself and ignored the frequent gazes of the medical staff and bodyguards at the door. On the other side, Xu Pingping did not listen to her mother and secretly went to look for Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi had long deleted all contacts of the Xu family and blocked them. Xu Pingping could not contact her and ran to the Jiang family¡¯s villa area to look for her.. Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: Adults Have to Be Responsible for Themselves Chapter 47: Adults Have to Be Responsible for Themselves Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Third Miss, Miss Xu said she has something to tell you.¡± ¡°Xu Pingping?¡± Jiang Youyi reacted for a long time. She had stayed up late last night to watch the live broadcast and had barely slept the entire night. She slept until noon the next day. Her family had long gone out, and she was the only one left in the family. Jiang Youyi was wearing loose home clothes and had two shallow dark circles under her eyes as she came down for breakfast. The news of Xu Pingping¡¯s arrival was told to her by the housekeeper, Sister Fang. ¡°Yes, Miss Xu has been waiting at the door for more than an hour. I said that you were still sleeping, but she didn¡¯t leave. It might be something urgent.¡± ¡°Let her in.¡± It will be winter soon. Ocean City was a northern city, and the temperature was only slightly above 10 degrees. Wouldn¡¯t she freeze to death if she stood outside for more than an hour at this temperature? Xu Pingping was also the eldest daughter of the Xu family. When had she ever suffered such grievances? Soon, Sister Fang brought Xu Pingping in. ¡°Sister Youyi.¡± ¡°Come over quickly. You must be freezing outside. It¡¯s all my fault for staying up late last night and sleeping until now. Come over and have breakfast with me.¡± Jiang Youyi was still as warm to her as before. In the Xu family, Xu Pingping had the best relationship with Jiang Youyi. Xu Pingping was simple-minded and did not have any bad intentions. Her personality was also very gentle. In the five years that Jiang Youyi had been with Xu Yuning, she often gave her gifts that little girls would like. The two of them were really close. In fact, in Xu Pingping¡¯s heart, she had subconsciously treated Jiang Youyi as her sister-in-law. ¡°Sister Youyi, my brother¡­¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to school today? You¡¯re not going to class anymore?¡± Xu Pingping was still studying in university. ¡°I took leave for the past few days. My brother is sick. Sister Youyi, my brother is very sick.¡± Jiang Youyi acted as if she did not hear anything. She picked up the cup and poured a glass of warm milk for Xu Pingping. ¡°Have some milk. It¡¯ll warm you up.¡± Xu Pingping took the cup. The warm milk warmed her up a lot, but she felt even more upset. ¡°Sister Youyi, I know that my brother has done something wrong to you, so it¡¯s only right for you to hate him. But I believe that the two of you have been together for five years. It¡¯s impossible for my brother¡¯s feelings for you to be fake. The doctor said that his illness this time was caused by depression. ¡°My helper said that Brother kept crying and apologizing to you in his sleep last night. 1 think he still can¡¯t accept the fact that you two are separated. Sister Youyi, I beg you, just go and see him. If my brother really falls ill¡­ Mom and I won¡¯t be able to live anymore.¡± After saying this, Xu Pingping could no longer hold back her tears. Jiang Youyi looked at her and sighed. She took out a tissue and wiped the tears off her face. Xu Pingping was still young and simple-minded. She thought that since her brother had fallen ill because of Sister Youyi, she must be the only one who could save his life. Xu Yuning usually exercised a lot and had a good physique. He had not fallen sick many times since he grew up. This was the first time he was so seriously ill. The Xu family had been on tenterhooks these days, afraid that something would happen to him. After all, he was the only son in the family and the only heir of the Xu family in the future. ¡°Pingping, eat something first. I¡¯ll explain this to you later.¡± Jiang Youyi persuaded Xu Pingping gently. The two of them finished their breakfast with their own thoughts. The sunlight was very good today. Xu Pingping remembered it clearly. The morning light shone into the villa. It landed on Jiang Youyi¡¯s beige home clothes, making her beauty look even more refreshing and natural. There was a magnetic field around Jiang Youyi that made people want to approach her. There was also an indescribable soft light. ¡°Sister Youyi, I¡¯m full.¡± ¡°Pingping, believe me. Nothing will happen to your brother. 1 can guarantee you that he will recover in three days and his condition will be better than before.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°But I can¡¯t go to see him. I¡¯ll explain it to you clearly. It¡¯s not because I hate him so much that I don¡¯t even want to see him. It¡¯s because we both know that it¡¯s impossible between us in the future. If I go this time, it¡¯s equivalent to giving him meaningless hope and giving him hope to make him despair. I think your brother will suffer a greater blow if I do this. Also, the last thing 1 want to tell you is that your brother is no longer a child. An adult has to be responsible for his actions. He has long known the rules of this society. He did some things not because he¡¯s muddle-headed and stupid, but because that¡¯s his current choice. Since it¡¯s his own choice, he has to bear the consequences.¡± Xu Pingping was confused. She had never heard Jiang Youyi say such unfathomable words before. She nodded as if she understood.. Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Dont Go Chapter 48: Don¡¯t Go Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you came to look for me today. 1 know that you¡¯ve always been a kind child. Your brother will definitely recover slowly. However, you have to know that my fate with your brother has ended. Marriage is not something that can be forced. If we persist, both of us will suffer.¡± ¡°I understand, Sister Jiang.¡± Xu Pingping nodded. ¡°Mm.¡± Xu Pingping turned around and was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped. After struggling for a while, she looked at Jiang Youyi. ¡°Sister Jiang, you¡¯re really good. When 1 first came, 1 was impatient, but after chatting with you for a while, I realized that my heart had already calmed down. I like the feeling on your body very much. It makes people feel at ease. In the future¡­ can 1 come and look for you often?¡± Xu Pingping looked at Jiang Youyi nervously, afraid of being rejected. Jiang Youyi did not answer and only gave her a smile. *** Not long after Xu Pingping left, news articles were released one after another, adding fuel to the fire and attracting attention. Most of the top few were: The heir of the Xu family was seriously ill, his ex-fiancee had not appeared, and so on. The general meaning was the same. It was just that the head of the Xu family was lovesick, but Jiang Youyi did not appear. Their words were vague and insinuating. However, one of them was the most vicious. The content was about how Jiang Youyi had hooked up with Xu Yuning and was now entangled with Lu Yunxiao. Jiang Youyi has become the one who thinks about getting more after having something. The description was so vivid that those who didn¡¯t know better would think that this reporter slept in the same bed as Jiang Youyi every day. The onlookers were excited and started to guess if Jiang Youyi would visit Xu Yuning. There were also people who started to sit cross-legged and follow suit. Nearly 70% of the people bet that Jiang Youyi would go. Some people really liked to watch the show. Jiang Youyi, who was still watching television, suddenly heard her phone ring. Lu Yunxiao sent a message. ¡°You are not allowed to go.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°If you dare to go, I¡¯ll expose to the media that we really have a child.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll call the police and arrest you for spreading rumors and slander.¡± ¡°Try it?¡± Jiang Youyi could not be bothered with him and did not reply. She turned around and pulled her brothers, sisters, and best friends into a small group. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Bet that I won¡¯t go. Bet heavily.¡± Jiang Nian: ¡°Got it, got it.¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°Sister, you¡¯re so awesome.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°One million has been placed.¡± Chen Hao: ¡°I¡¯ll bet 200,000!¡± *** The strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital was really unpleasant. Mrs. Xu walked out of the room and saw that Zhang Meng was still kneeling at the door of the ward. Thinking about how unlucky she was, she turned around and went back. Not long after, the bodyguard came out and told Zhang Meng that Mrs. Xu wanted her to go in. Zhang Meng was overjoyed, but she did not show it. She stood up unsteadily. Her legs were already numb as she limped in. In the ward, Mrs. Xu stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside quietly. ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡± ¡°Shut up,¡± Mrs. Xu said coldly. Zhang Meng immediately shut up. She knew how to read people¡¯s expressions. ¡°You, stay and take care of Yuning. If anything happens to him, you know the consequences.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Zhang Meng was nimble and quickly fetched water. She placed a hot towel on Xu Yuning¡¯s forehead. The doctor had already said earlier that Xu Yuning¡¯s fever had subsided. As for why he did not wake up, it was most likely because he was unwilling. Mrs. Xu looked out of the window sharply. She already knew what had happened on the news. The news was all over the place, and the unscrupulous media was fighting over this lousy news. Haha¡­ ¡°Xu Pingping, get back here while I still have the patience!¡± Mrs. Xu held the phone and scolded Xu Pingping. At this moment, Xu Yuning, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly. ¡°Youyi¡­¡± Xu Yuning murmured, thinking that he had returned to that time with Jiang Youyi by his side. He gently grabbed Zhang Meng¡¯s hand and said her name. It did not feel good to be used as a substitute. Zhang Meng felt a little bitter. ¡°Yuning, you¡¯re finally awake,¡± Zhang Meng said softly. Xu Yuning woke up and saw the person in front of him clearly. He immediately let go. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°When I heard that you were sick, 1 immediately came to see you. It was Madam who let me in to take care of you.¡± Mrs. Xu looked at her quietly and did not say anything. ¡°My son, you¡¯re finally awake.¡± Mrs. Xu quickly walked to her son¡¯s bed. Xu Yuning had become much more haggard after being unconscious for the past few days. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°What do you mean by fine? Look at you, you have a fever. You should focus on recuperating now. I¡¯ve already pushed the work to your father.¡± Mrs. Xu was still domineering. ¡°Mom, I want to see Jiang Youyi.¡± Xu Yuning could still remember that when he was unconscious, his dreams were filled with Jiang Youyi. She walked under the sunlight, shining brightly. However, when he woke up, everything disappeared.. Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Let Her Collect It Personally Chapter 49: Let Her Collect It Personally Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations If they had not canceled the engagement previously, would the outcome have been different? ¡°Wake up, Yuning. She¡¯s not coming back. Your sister went to invite her personally, but she didn¡¯t come over. Haven¡¯t you seen it clearly? She¡¯s fooling around with Lu Yunxiao now. You¡¯ve been lying unconscious in the ward for so many days, but she hasn¡¯t come to see you.¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s words were heartbreaking. Xu Yuning rubbed his messy hair and frowned. ¡°She won¡¯t. How could she¡­¡± ¡°Why not? Yuning, look at you now. You¡¯re dying for a woman.¡± Mrs. Xu expected better from him. At this moment, Xu Pingping opened the door and walked in. Mrs. Xu took a look and said, ¡°You¡¯re back at the right time. Didn¡¯t you go to the Jiang family just now? Tell me, what did she say?¡± Xu Yuning looked over and gripped the blanket with both hands, hoping to hear that it was not what Mrs. Xu said. ¡°Sister Jiang told me a lot. She also made it clear that she won¡¯t come back. Brother, don¡¯t be stubborn.¡± Xu Yuning loosened his grip on the blanket, as if he had lost all his strength. On the other side, in Lu Yunxiao¡¯s small group. Lin Feng: ¡°Jiang Youtian used her alternate account to bet a million yuan on her sister not going. She made a killing this time.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°I¡¯ve placed a bet too.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°You¡¯re really shameless. Why are you doing this?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°She already placed it. Why can¡¯t I do the same?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°What the hell? She bet on herself? Which stupid dealer sold it to her?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°She created a small account, but no one found out. 1 just went to take a look. It¡¯s the Wu family¡¯s deal.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°The show¡¯s effect is maxed out, haha. Wu Chen probably didn¡¯t expect such a thing to happen.¡± In fact, this money was nothing to the Wu family, but it was a little unethical for the person involved to participate in the competition. Ocean City, in an underground bank. ¡°Brother Chen, there¡¯s a problem. There¡¯s an uproar on the Internet. It says that the new account that bet three million yuan is Jiang Youyi herself. If she does this, we have every reason not to pay.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Transfer the money to her. We¡¯ve been betting for so many years. We can¡¯t lose our credibility because of this.¡± Wu Chen said indifferently. A mere 15 million yuan was nothing to him. ¡°Then, are you going to let her take the money so easily?¡± The most helpless thing was that although they knew that the alternate account was Jiang Youyi herself, there was no direct evidence to point to her. It was too frustrating to suffer in silence. ¡°Of course, but there¡¯s a prerequisite. Let her come and take it herself.¡± Wu Chen¡¯s reputation in Ocean City was not small. He was also one of the three aristocratic families. The Wu family had once relied on real estate to soar and earn a lot of money. Although he was not as rich as the Lu family, he was still an unattainable existence in Ocean City. However, he did not expect to be tricked by a little girl today. Now that there was an uproar outside, it was almost certain that the account was Jiang Youyi. Ordinary people wouldn¡¯t have the guts to bet three million unless they were crazy. After the news was released, the outside world was in an uproar again. There were only two voices. They doubted Wu Chen¡¯s morality, but in fact, they did not want to pay this 15 million. Secondly, would Jiang Youyi come? That was 15 million yuan. If she didn¡¯t come, the previous three million yuan would be wasted! Amidst the abyss of suffering, in a private restaurant. Lin Feng invited Lu Yunxiao and Wang Jiangbei to dinner. Although the game was small, it could be seen that he had put in a lot of effort. Lin Feng knew what the two of them liked. He instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes and a pot of fine wine. ¡°Generous, boss, but it¡¯s a little unusual. Are you trying to borrow money?¡± Wang Jiangbei said with a faint smile. ¡°Bullsh*t, do 1 look like I¡¯m short of money?¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t say anything and ate quietly. Lin Feng patted Lu Yunxiao¡¯s shoulder and asked, ¡°Brother Lu, do you know about the Wu family¡¯s bank recently?¡± Lin Feng was referring to the matter of Jiang Youyi changing her alternate account to bet. Lu Yunxiao¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that?¡± ¡°Do you think Jiang Youyi will ask Wu Chen for money?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Brother Lu, you¡¯re spoiling the mood! Just say it.¡± ¡°Do you think I know Jiang Youyi very well?¡± Lu Yunxiao picked up his food unhurriedly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you carry her to the second floor to conspire that day?¡± Wang Jiangbei burst into laughter. ¡°Old Jiang, what do you think?¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly asked. Wang Jiangbei was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°I think she will go. From the fact that she broke off the engagement, 1 can tell that she doesn¡¯t care about what others think. She doesn¡¯t seem like someone who will give up three million yuan..¡± Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Go for Me Chapter 50: Go for Me Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The three of them were chatting when Lu Yunxiao¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Millionaire Lu, I have a collaboration project here. 1 wonder if you¡¯re interested.¡± Lu Yunxiao pondered for a moment and suddenly had bad intentions. He placed the phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone. A conversation sounded from the phone. It was Jiang Youyi. Wang Jiangbei and Lin Feng looked at each other and smiled. Lu Yunxiao asked, ¡°What cooperation?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Have you heard about me betting three million yuan at the Wu family bank?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked, ¡°Is that account really yours?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°You already knew. Let¡¯s get straight to the point. Wu Chen is not easy to deal with. He can¡¯t play, and he didn¡¯t want to give me the money and even asked me to get it.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Continue.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Of course 1 won¡¯t go, but if I find someone to go, my identity can be easily found out.¡± Lu Yunxiao asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Go for me.¡± The scene seemed to freeze at this moment. Lin Feng¡¯s face turned red. If he had not held it in, he would have spat out the wine in his mouth. She really didn¡¯t play by the rules! Lu Yunxiao: ¡°What good will it do me?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I¡¯ll split the money with you.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°How much?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Apart from my three million capital, if you take 30%, that¡¯s 3.6 million.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°No, we¡¯ll split it 50-50.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°4,6!¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Fifty-fifty. No deal.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°You¡¯re just running errands, and you actually want a 50-50 split. You¡¯re really evil!¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Thank you for the compliment.¡± There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. In the end, Jiang Youyi still relented. ¡°Alright! Fifty-fifty it is!¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll tell him your plan after I go?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. He won¡¯t believe you. I¡¯m not worried about that.¡± Jiang Youyi had a good grasp of Wu Chen and Lu Yunxiao. The two of them were sworn enemies to begin with. In the past two years, they had more or less had conflicts with the Lu family and were mostly at a disadvantage. From the relationship between the two families, Wu Chen naturally wouldn¡¯t believe Lu Yunxiao¡¯s nonsense. Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Brilliant, really brilliant. You¡¯re taking advantage of me.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°You¡¯re flattering me, but you¡¯re the one who¡¯s the true schemer!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Pfft.¡± Lin Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Wang Jiangbei couldn¡¯t help but laugh. This was the first time they had seen Lu Yunxiao suffer. Jiang Youyi: ¡°You still have people on your side?¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Dog bark.¡± This time, the two of them could not laugh anymore. Jiang Youyi saw through it but did not expose it. She returned to the main topic. ¡°I¡¯ll send you my account in a while. The sooner you go, the sooner you¡¯ll come back. Also, transfer the money to my account when you¡¯re done.¡± The line went dead. ¡°Tsk tsk, she¡¯s smart. I feel like she¡¯s the second Lu Yunxiao¡­¡± Lin Feng sighed. ¡°So, do you want to change your target from Jiang Youtian to Jiang Youyi?¡± Wang Jiangbei teased. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll continue chasing Tiantian. Tiantian is also very smart.¡± *** At night, Lu Yunxiao appeared in the underground bank as promised. When they saw who it was, everyone in the bank was dumbfounded. As the sworn enemy of the Wu family, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s appearance was definitely not a good thing. Moreover, this time, Lu Yunxiao came alone without a bodyguard. ¡°President Lu, why did you come here personally tonight?¡± The manager pretended to be calm and walked up to ask. ¡°Call Wu Chen over.¡± Lu Yunxiao was wearing a black suit and fiddling with the lighter in his hand. He didn¡¯t look around, as if nothing could attract his attention. ¡°Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll go tell CEO Han now.¡± After a few minutes, Wu Chen slowly walked down the stairs with a smile in his eyes. He was holding a delicate female model in his arms. ¡°Yo, what a rare guest. President Lu, do you want to bet a few rounds?¡± As Wu Chen spoke, his footsteps were a little unstable and carried a hint of alcohol. ¡°I don¡¯t have a gambling habit. I¡¯m here to get the money.¡± ¡°Take money? How much? The interest here is a little high.¡± ¡°Fifteen million.¡± Lu Yunxiao looked at Wu Chen. ¡°1 placed the bet and came to withdraw the money.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Wu Chen was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect him to place the bet. ¡°Monkey, check the account.¡± Wu Chen waved his hand and his subordinates came up to check the betting account. The account that Jiang Youyi had given Lu Yunxiao had already been logged in. As soon as he opened it, he could see the homepage. ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s indeed this account.¡± Wu Chen nodded. ¡°Give him the money.¡± He didn¡¯t care about a mere 15 million. The reputation of the bank was more important. Since his identity had been verified, there was no reason for him not to pay. After a while, two suitcases were brought up. His subordinate opened it and saw that it was filled with US dollars. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a hobby. It¡¯s not worthy of your status.¡± Wu Chen mocked. ¡°It¡¯s just a game to kill time..¡± Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Consider It a Moment of Momentum Chapter 51: Consider It a Moment of Momentum Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you place a bet before? Don¡¯t tell me this was a whim?¡± ¡°On a whim? Yes, I guess so. I¡¯m only interested in Jiang Youyi.¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled. Wu Chen fell silent. How did things become so strange? Why was Lu Yunxiao the one who came to get the money in the end? And what did he mean by that last sentence? After Lu Yunxiao left, his subordinates discussed. Monkey walked up boldly. ¡°Brother Chen, there¡¯s something fishy!¡± ¡°If you have something to say, say it.¡± He had just been disgusted by Lu Yunxiao and took away 15 million yuan smugly. He was extremely depressed. However, there was nothing he could do. ¡°Didn¡¯t Jiang Youyi break off the engagement a few days ago? It caused a huge commotion. At the wedding, she said that she liked Lu Yunxiao.¡± ¡°Lu Yunxiao did interact with her a few times after that. Don¡¯t tell me the two of them got together and ganged up to cheat us of our money.¡± Wu Chen shook his head. He had already rejected this idea. ¡°1 know him. It¡¯s just 15 million yuan. There¡¯s no need to lie to me. Look at him. He¡¯s usually high and mighty. Would he be reduced to being Jiang Youyi¡¯s lackey?¡± Wu Chen did not know that the direction of things was often so dramatic. A certain someone was even happy to be a lackey for once. ¡°Brother Chen, why don¡¯t you send someone to check Lu Yunxiao¡¯s account? If he really works with Jiang Youyi, he will definitely transfer money to her.¡± ¡°Are you stupid? How can Lu Yunxiao¡¯s account be so easy to check? It¡¯s tiring and unrewarding. Get lost.¡± Wu Chen couldn¡¯t stand his subordinates¡¯ whimsical thoughts and chased them away. ¡°Prepare the car. I¡¯ll go take a look at Xu Yuning.¡± Late at night, in the Xu family¡¯s private hospital. After taking care of him for the past few days, Xu Yuning was much better. At this moment, Zhang Meng was telling him the story of her childhood. Originally, he disdained to listen to these old-fashioned tragic childhood stories. However, Zhang Meng was too vivid. Unknowingly, her eyes were already misty with tears, and she looked delicate and moving. Xu Yuning¡¯s heart softened for some reason. ¡°Is all this your previous life? Is it true?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true, it¡¯s all true. Yuning, if you want, you can go down and investigate my previous life now. I know that the previous lie made you have a grudge, but I didn¡¯t mean to lie to you. Being a helper is a lowly thing to do. I¡¯ve been criticized by this job many times before. 1 was afraid that you would despise me. Love itself shouldn¡¯t be divided into levels. We will also be educated, but we were born differently. We can¡¯t deny a person because of this¡­¡± Zhang Meng said seriously, ingeniously grasping Xu Yuning¡¯s thoughts. After all, the strong would naturally pity the weak. ¡°Did that person harass you again?¡± ¡°After 1 came to Ocean City, I completely cut off contact with my family. They can¡¯t contact me, and I hope that they won¡¯t find me for the rest of their lives. I¡¯m really afraid, Yuning. Only you have given me the feeling of my family, so I¡¯m willing to give up everything for you, even my life.¡± ¡°Why are you talking about this?¡± Xu Yuning looked at her with a complicated gaze. ¡°CEO Xu, CEO Wu said that he wants to visit you. He¡¯s already at the door.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already so late. What is he doing here?¡± Xu Yuning looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven o¡¯clock. The two of them had never interacted much, let alone had a relationship. At most, they could be considered friends. Occasionally, they would discuss news at the dining table and make use of each other. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. There¡¯s a bun shop downstairs. Help me bring one up,¡± Xu Yuning said. He did not want a third person to be present during his conversation with Wu Chen. Zhang Meng nodded. Knowing Xu Yuning¡¯s concerns, she turned around and left the ward. Not long after, Wu Chen came in with the fruit basket he had just bought. He had put in enough effort on the surface. ¡°Yuning, why are you suddenly sick?¡± The corners of Xu Yuning¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Visiting a patient at eleven o¡¯clock at night. Your style of doing things is really unique.¡± ¡°Sigh, maybe I¡¯m a natural night owl. I don¡¯t want to move during the day, so I¡¯m active at night.¡± ¡°I heard that you even opened a bet today to see if Jiang Youyi would come to visit me. You¡¯re really boring. You earn all kinds of money.¡± Xu Yuning said sarcastically with a faint smile. Although he was bedridden, he was still well-informed. Who wouldn¡¯t feel disgusted when they heard about the opening of the bet early in the morning and even used their own matters as a bet? ¡°I¡¯m just trying to gather some popularity to earn some money. You¡¯re not really angry, are you?¡± ¡°How can 1 be angry over such a small matter?¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s expression did not change, but he made a mental note of Wu Chen.. Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Time to Let Go, Brother Chapter 52: Time to Let Go, Brother Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I knew it. You¡¯re not a petty person. However, something very interesting happened in the bet today. There was a rumor on the Internet that the account that bet three million yuan was actually Jiang Youyi¡¯s alternate account. Later on, my people also found out, but there was no direct evidence to prove it.¡± Wu Chen told Xu Yuning what had happened. There were also overseas accounts that placed bets. But in fact, it was just a string of false information. He came here purely to see what Xu Yuning was up to and tested him. Although Jiang Youyi had broken off the engagement with him, it was inevitable that they would still have some interactions. Moreover, the two of them had been together for so long. If it was really Jiang Youyi¡¯s account, he might know. ¡°Do you know this account number?¡± Xu Yuning shook his head. ¡°Then do you know her overseas account? Especially her social account.¡± ¡°No, she doesn¡¯t have a social account outside. She only has Weibo.¡± Wu Chen frowned slightly, but he still did not give up and asked, ¡°No way? Then could she have other alternate accounts, the kind that are very secretive?¡± This sentence was equivalent to plain words. Xu Yuning instantly understood. ¡°Brother Wu, you don¡¯t have to probe. I don¡¯t know her account. Moreover, I don¡¯t have any interaction with Jiang Youyi anymore. I really don¡¯t know anything about her.¡± Xu Yuning smiled bitterly, looking self-deprecating. ¡°You should let go of it, brother. She¡¯s just Jiang Youyi. It¡¯s her fortune to be able to enter the Xu family, but she doesn¡¯t appreciate it. Now, she even provoked that living King of Hell. She¡¯s courting death.¡± The living King of Hell naturally referred to Lu Yunxiao. He had earned his nickname from a few rivals behind his back. ¡°Let me tell you, don¡¯t hang yourself on a tree. There are so many women in the world. What can Jiang Youyi do? She might even take the initiative to come back to look for you in the future. When the time comes, don¡¯t agree foolishly. A smart person does not dwell on past actions.¡± ¡°If only she could really come back¡­¡± Xu Yuning said in a voice that only he could hear. He wanted to get back together, but now, it was obvious that the two of them no longer had a chance. Wu Chen¡¯s comforting words had the opposite effect. ¡°Yuning, let me explain it to you directly. This time, it¡¯s very likely that Jiang Youyi did it. With my personality, I won¡¯t let her off easily. This is for the credibility of the banking house and to protect the rules of the underworld.¡± ¡°Then, what do you plan to do?¡± Xu Yuning started to get nervous. He still cared about Jiang Youyi. After all, she was once his fiancee. Even if there was a trace of hope that they could get back together, he didn¡¯t want Jiang Youyi to be hurt. ¡°Are you worried?¡± Wu Chen could see his concern. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to mess around. She¡ª¡± Xu Yuning did not say anything in the end. He didn¡¯t want Wu Chen to touch Jiang Youyi. Although he did not have a deep relationship with Wu Chen, he had heard of the ruthlessness of the Wu family in the early years. Jiang Youyi was just an inexperienced girl. How could she fight Wu Chen? Even if the possibility of him and Jiang Youyi being together was slim, he didn¡¯t want anyone to hurt her. Wu Chen only smiled lightly and did not say anything else. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wu Chen left. The next morning was the weekend, and the Jiang family was eating together when there was a knock on the door. ¡°We¡¯re here to deliver goods. These are Miss Jiang¡¯s goods,¡± the two men dressed as couriers said respectfully. ¡°It¡¯s here. Sorry for the trouble.¡± Jiang Youyi stood up to take the goods. The goods of all sizes piled up on the ground, forming a small mountain. Jiang Youyi skillfully and quickly opened the package. ¡°Dad, this is the tie 1 bought for you. It¡¯s the latest model. You look different in it!¡± Jiang Youyi was about to put it on her father. ¡°Hey, how am 1 suitable for this thing when I¡¯m old? It¡¯s ridiculous.¡± Although Jiang Yunfei said that, the smile on his face did not disappear. He was very happy. ¡°Aiyo, this, this¡­ It can¡¯t be the Hermes Belt, right? Youyi, 1 like you too much!!¡± Jiang Nian almost danced with joy. ¡°Here, take it. Everyone has a share!¡± Jiang Youyi handed the box in her hand to Jiang Nian. ¡°Sister-in-law, this is for you.¡± Wang Yuqing took the bag and opened it. It was a Chanel bag. It was the latest model and was sold out in less than ten minutes. She did not expect Jiang Youyi to buy it. ¡°Youyi, 1 can¡¯t accept such an expensive bag.¡± ¡°How is it expensive? I¡¯m rich. This small amount of money is nothing,¡± Jiang Youyi said half-jokingly. She took out another gift for her mother.. Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Dont Worry, Do It Chapter 53: Don¡¯t Worry, Do It Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She opened the box and saw a scarf inside. ¡°Mom, the weather¡¯s going to be chilly soon. Take this scarf and keep it warm.¡± ¡°Child, why are scarves so expensive?¡± Mrs. Jiang was shocked to see the receipt. Although Jiang Youyi had given everyone gifts all these years, they were all small items that did not cost much. She was the youngest in the family to begin with. Moreover, she had never worked since she returned to the country and had never given any expensive gifts. ¡°Hehe, you can¡¯t make do with gifts for your family.¡± With that, Jiang Youyi took out a bag. The space was huge, and it was a light luxury bag. It was also very convenient to store things and buy groceries. ¡°Me too?¡± Housekeeper Sister Fang was flattered. ¡°That¡¯s right. I thought you could use it usually, so 1 bought it together.¡± Housekeeper Sister Fang took a look at the brand and was shocked. ¡°I know this brand. It¡¯s very expensive. How can it be used to store vegetables? Thank you, Third Miss.¡± Finally, Jiang Youyi took out a small box and handed it to her mother. ¡°Mom, this is a pair of earrings for Second Sister, but she¡¯s not at home. Please help me put them away and pass them to Second Sister when the time comes.¡± ¡°Youyi, why have you become so rich recently?¡± Jiang Nian teased. ¡°I¡¯ve made a small fortune. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s all from legitimate sources. Everyone, don¡¯t worry and keep it.¡± ¡°Youyi, where did you get this money?¡± Mrs. Jiang was still uneasy. She was well aware of the money she had given Jiang Youyi over the years. Although her family background was not bad, her pocket money was not enough to buy so many luxury goods. At that time, Jiang Youyi went overseas to study, and the living expenses she gave every month were average, not to mention exaggerated. Later, when she returned to the country, she didn¡¯t have a job at home. According to Jiang Youyi¡¯s shares in the family, she only received 50,000 yuan a month. Moreover, the gifts she gave everyone today were all generous. Everyone was stunned. Faced with her mother¡¯s question, Jiang Youyi explained, ¡°It¡¯s the stocks I bought previously that rose by chance and earned a lot.¡± ¡°What stock? It can actually appreciate so much?¡± Jiang Nian obviously didn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Yunting Medical. At that time, there was a medical malpractice in that hospital. The price almost collapsed. I saw it and bought it. Who knew that it would slowly turn around and make a profit?¡± ¡°Oh? I¡¯ve heard of that. That boss has a lot of connections. He spent some money to transfer the funds over and even developed a new vaccine. Gradually, it came back to life.¡± Wang Yuqing had once graduated from the finance major, so she naturally knew a little about these things. ¡°Sister-in-law, you¡¯re so professional.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled. There were no loopholes in Jiang Youyi¡¯s words. No one could find any fault with her, so they all believed her. Mrs. Jiang nodded gently with a gentle smile. ¡°The child has already grown up and knows how to dote on the adults. You don¡¯t have to worry about your brother and Second Sister. On the other hand, your marriage with the Xu family has been canceled and you haven¡¯t found a job. If you¡¯re not in a hurry to get married, your father and I will prepare a startup fund for you and start your own business. It¡¯s good to do something and train yourself.¡± ¡°Youyi, if you really want to start a business, your brother and 1 will support you. When the time comes, you can invest in it. Don¡¯t worry and do it.¡± After Wang Yuqing finished speaking, Jiang Yunfei and Mrs. Jiang looked at their daughter-in-law with admiration. This made them feel comfortable. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m clumsy. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll lose all my funds?¡± ¡°Entrepreneurship is always risky. There are risks and benefits. Don¡¯t worry and do it.¡± ¡°Old Jiang, your mentality is top-notch!¡± Jiang Youyi gave him a thumbs up. ¡°You¡¯re so rude!¡± Mrs. Jiang scolded. At this moment, Mrs. Jiang¡¯s phone suddenly rang. It was Jiang Youtian. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mrs. Jiang told her about Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youtian was obviously surprised. ¡°Mother, pass the phone to Youyi. I¡¯ll speak to her.¡± ¡°Your sister called you.¡± Mrs. Jiang handed the phone to Jiang Youyi. ¡°Second Sister?¡± ¡°How are you doing with him now?¡± ¡°Him?¡± Jiang Youyi was confused. ¡°I introduced a young hunk to you previously. His name is Wu Di.¡± ¡°All¡­¡± Jiang Youyi was dumbfounded. If Jiang Youtian hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to mention it today, she would have forgotten about this person. ¡°What? I¡¯ll call him later and let him look for you. Coincidentally, he¡¯s filming in Ocean City now.¡± ¡°Second Sister, I¡­¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it. I¡¯m hanging up.¡± The phone rang. Jiang Youtian, who had always been domineering, hung up. ¡°What did she say?¡± Mrs. Jiang asked.. Chapter 54 - Chapter 54:1 Want to Play the Carousel Chapter 54:1 Want to Play the Carousel Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°It¡¯s just some trivial things.¡± After some thought, Jiang Youyi did not tell everyone about this. After all, the person Second Sister introduced was too unreliable. Just like that, the matter passed. However, at noon, Jiang Youyi received an unexpected call. It was Wu Di¡¯s. ¡°Youyi, I¡¯ve already completed my mission today. I¡¯m free in the afternoon. Let¡¯s meet at the children¡¯s indoor amusement park at the square. I might be a little late then. Those paparazzi have been following me very closely recently.¡± Wu Di lowered his voice, sounding mysterious. ¡°Hey, Mr. Wu, I want to explain¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re here! I¡¯ll hang up first. See you in the afternoon.¡± The call ended just like that. Jiang Youyi held her phone and stood rooted to the ground. At this moment, she received a message on WeChat. It was from Lu Yunxiao. Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°The money has already been transferred to your account. Remember to check and accept it.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°That¡¯s unnecessary. I¡¯m sure the richest man wouldn¡¯t be interested in a few million yuan, right?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°That¡¯s true, but since you took Wu Chen¡¯s money, things won¡¯t go away so easily.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°What are you talking about? When did I take Wu Chen¡¯s money? Didn¡¯t you take it?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then this money is mine.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Don¡¯t! I also contributed a lot. The account is mine, and so is the bet.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Since I ran your errand, it¡¯s not too much to treat me to a meal, right?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I¡¯ve already given you 50-50, yet you still want to earn my food!!¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Then it¡¯s simple. I¡¯ll treat you.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Sure, when and where.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Noon.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I¡¯m not free at noon. I already have an appointment.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Postpone it.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°So domineering? We don¡¯t seem to be that familiar with each other, right?¡± After Jiang Youyi sent the message, the other party did not reply. She didn¡¯t care about Lu Yunxiao¡¯s thoughts. She simply packed up and prepared to leave. After some thought, she decided to explain her intentions. She was not interested in him to begin with, and her date with him was also arranged by Second Sister. The weather had clearly cooled down. Jiang Youyi changed into a warm coat and put on a beige scarf. She took out a hat to cover herself and went out. It was the same Audi as before. It was low-key and reserved, and Jiang Youyi had always liked to drive it. As the car drove on the road and waited for the traffic light to turn green, Jiang Youyi began to think unconsciously. What kind of man could set the place of their first meeting at the children¡¯s indoor playground? Coupled with these two times, this person¡¯s various hallucinations and actions made it difficult for her to imagine what kind of person he was. She couldn¡¯t even be bothered to search for this young hunk¡¯s photo. When she arrived at the mall, Jiang Youyi almost couldn¡¯t tell. Wu Di¡¯s entire body was wrapped tightly, only his hands were exposed. ¡°Jiang Youyi.¡± Wu Di patted her shoulder. Jiang Youyi turned around. ¡°Wu Di?¡± ¡°Oh, you look better in person than in photos.¡± Jiang Youyi sized up the boy in front of her. His style was more sunny. It was just that his hair was dyed gray. Other than looking a little out of place, there was nothing wrong with it. ¡°Did you come alone?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s not easy to come out. 1 sneaked out while my assistant was asleep. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to come to the appointment.¡± ¡°Are you filming in Ocean City now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a small web drama.¡± ¡°Is it the male lead?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ it¡¯s the third male lead.¡± Jiang Youyi sensed that the atmosphere was a little awkward and quickly changed the topic. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Why don¡¯t we go for lunch first?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. I want to play with the carousel first.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Youyi fell silent. ¡°Then go and play by yourself. I¡¯m carsick.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a carousel.¡± ¡°I¡¯m horse-sick.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a wooden horse.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the wooden horse I¡¯m dizzy with.¡± Wu Di was speechless. On the other side, among the three big shots of Ocean City. Lin Feng: ¡°I just received a piece of news from Tiantian.¡± Wang Jiangbei:¡±?¡± Lin Feng: ¡°It¡¯s about Jiang Youyi.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Brother Lu, I can tell that you really want to know!¡± Wang Jiangbei said, ¡°Tell me now. I want to kill you based on your wretched appearance.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°The child¡¯s wings have hardened. Just beat him up.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I¡¯ll tell you. Don¡¯t be agitated! Jiang Youtian introduced a young hunk from the entertainment industry to Jiang Youyi and went on a date at noon today. The venue seems to be at some amusement park. She¡¯s worried that her sister will be in low spirits after falling out of love, so she wants her to start a new relationship..¡± Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Something to Coax a Child Chapter 55: Something to Coax a Child Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Indoor amusement park. Wu Di played happily on the wooden horse. Jiang Youyi turned on her phone and recorded a video before sending it to Jiang Youtian. Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°How¡¯s the progress?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Second Sister, don¡¯t you think this doesn¡¯t suit me?¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°1 think it¡¯s not bad! You¡¯re not getting married, so relax.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Then why did you spend so much effort to matchmake us?¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°Your sister wants you to forget that scumbag as soon as possible.¡± Jiang Youyi really wanted to cry. ¡°Thank you, Second Sister¡­¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°Okay, 1¡¯11 accept your gratitude. 1 still have something on, so I¡¯ll get going.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. ¡°Youyi, it¡¯s too exciting. It¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t play.¡± ¡°No.¡± Jiang Youyi shook her head. She really did not know how the carousel could be exciting. Was she out of the era? Wu Di finally had enough fun and got off the carousel. Jiang Youyi saw that it was time to explain. ¡°Wu Di, actually, there¡¯s something I haven¡¯t explained to you clearly.¡± ¡°Hmm? Wait a moment. There¡¯s ice cream there. I¡¯ll go buy it.¡± Wu Di walked halfway and asked, ¡°Do you want it?¡± ¡°Thank you. 1 don¡¯t want any.¡± ¡°¡­ According to my many years of acting experience, when a woman says she doesn¡¯t want to eat it, she actually really wants to eat it. I¡¯ll buy it for you immediately and wait for me to come back!¡± Jiang Youyi fell silent. When Wu Di returned, he was holding two large portions of ice cream. When he held it in his hand, it looked small. Many passersby turned around. ¡°Here, eat it quickly. Otherwise, it will melt later.¡± Jiang Youyi held her forehead and was about to reach for it. A large hand passed by and took the ice cream. Jiang Youyi was stunned. Lu Yunxiao held the ice cream calmly and even took a bite. ¡°This thing is only used to coax children.¡± He threw the ice cream into the trash can next to him with a look of disgust. ¡°All! Why are you so wasteful!¡± The young hunk was shocked. ¡°The ice cream is so delicious¡­¡± ¡°You¡­ Why are you here¡­¡± Jiang Youyi did not expect to meet Lu Yunxiao here. She was not mentally prepared at all. ¡°Youyi, do you know him? He¡¯s too rude. There are only 200 ice creams in this amusement park every day. One costs 88 yuan.¡± The young hunk stared at the man in front of him indignantly. ¡°So you turned down my invitation just so you could eat this crappy ice cream here?¡± ¡°Hey, you¡­ don¡¯t you know how to speak properly?¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but remind him. ¡°Who are you? What do you mean by crappy ice cream? Have you ever eaten it before? You¡¯re really rude. Didn¡¯t your mother teach you what a sense of propriety is?¡± The young hunk was furious. He couldn¡¯t accept him slandering his favorite ice cream for no reason. Lu Yunxiao glanced at his face, which was so exquisitely made up that it was impossible to tell if he was male or female. Suddenly, he had a bad idea and complained with a hurt expression, ¡°Last night, you said that you only liked me. Today, you came out to date someone else. I¡¯m so sad.¡± ¡°Can you stop making things up?¡± ¡°Alright, since you don¡¯t care about our friendship, please pay me yesterday¡¯s fee. It¡¯s a total of 5,000 yuan. After all, I worked hard to satisfy your special hobbies yesterday. My injuries won¡¯t recover for a while.¡± ¡°Can you stop spouting nonsense!¡± Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth. When Lu Yunxiao spouted nonsense, they were sized up curiously by passers-by. Those people looked at her so much that she couldn¡¯t even raise her head. ¡°Oh my god, Youyi, you actually have such a hobby¡­ Your sister didn¡¯t mention it either.¡± The young hunk instantly understood. ¡°No, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. This person is mentally ill,¡± Jiang Youyi hurriedly explained. ¡°I think we should forget about it. I can¡¯t accept a woman spending money to find a man. Don¡¯t contact me in the future. I¡¯ll explain it to your sister later. Goodbye. Oh, right, that ice cream¡¯s my treat. There¡¯s no need to transfer the money to me.¡± The young hunk had an indescribable expression, as if he had been shocked by Lu Yunxiao¡¯s words. After they left, Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth and pointed at Lu Yunxiao. ¡°You¡¯re really a dog.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± ¡°Wait for what?¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned. ¡°You¡¯re drooling,¡± Lu Yunxiao said as he took out a tissue and approached the corner of her mouth to wipe it gently. The distance between the two of them instantly shortened, and they felt like they were about to kiss in the next second.. Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Are You Really Going to Become the Richest Mans Wife? Chapter 56: Are You Really Going to Become the Richest Man¡¯s Wife? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Hey! Look over there, isn¡¯t that Third Miss Jiang and Lu Yunxiao? Oh my god, the two of them are really dating. 1 thought it was just a publicity stunt. 1 didn¡¯t expect them to be so close. They don¡¯t care if there¡¯s anyone around them in broad daylight and can¡¯t wait to kiss.¡± Someone shouted, scaring Jiang Youyi out of her wits. Before she could react and slip away, she was surrounded by people who began to take photos of the two of them. In less than five minutes, her ¡®intimate photo¡¯ with Lu Yunxiao became the top trending topic and caused a storm on the Internet. Jiang Youyi looked at the photos and felt that she would never be able to clear her name. The angle of the photo was tricky. Those who did not know would really think that the two of them were kissing in the amusement park in broad daylight. As the person involved, she could not explain it even if she had a hundred mouths. Jiang Youyi was like a street rat that day, escaping from the amusement park in a panic. She did not even have the time to thank Lu Yunxiao. After all, he had kindly wiped her saliva. After returning home, she curled up under the blanket and disguised herself as a turtle. Even so, that would not be able to withstand everyone¡¯s bombardment. Chen Hao: ¡°Youyi, you¡¯ve been on the trending searches much more frequently than your sister recently.¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°What are you doing? Are you really going to be the wife of the richest man?¡± Jiang Nian: ¡°Are the photos on the trending searches real?¡± Sister-in-law: ¡°Youyi, are you alright?¡± The most speechless thing was the little fresh meat introduced by Second Sister. W: ¡°Jiang Youyi, I really didn¡¯t expect you to be such a woman. And that man, he also treated me as a fool. If I hadn¡¯t looked at Weibo, I would have almost been deceived by you. But to be honest, people in the industry know what¡¯s going on between the two of you at a glance.¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but be curious. ¡°What do you think happened?¡± W: ¡°Isn¡¯t it just hyping up a couple? Playing the same tricks as us in the entertainment industry.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°You¡¯re right. You¡¯re too smart.¡± W: ¡°Hmph, scumbag, you¡¯re on your own.¡± Jiang Youyi was caught in between laughter and tears. W: ¡°But I won¡¯t delete your WeChat. I want you to wait and see how good my relationship with my girlfriend is in the future. I want you to regret not choosing me. You woman with no taste!¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Okay, you can do whatever you want.¡± W: ¡°Hmph, no matter what you say, you can¡¯t win my heart back. I¡¯m angry just by looking at your WeChat.¡± Jiang Youyi rolled back and forth under the blanket in her home clothes, feeling like she was going crazy. Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°Where are you?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°At home, on the bed.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°I¡¯ll land at Ocean City Airport in an hour. Come and pick me up.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there on time.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°Please don¡¯t drive your lousy Audi, drive Big Brother¡¯s Alphard.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Yes, Your Highness.¡± When her second sister suddenly returned home, Jiang Youyi wondered if it was because she had seen the content on the trending searches. However, after calming down and thinking about it, her second sister usually didn¡¯t have much time to surf the Internet. It shouldn¡¯t be. She probably didn¡¯t have any work recently and wanted to go home to take a look. Jiang Youtian was considered an elder sister among the younger female celebrities in the entertainment industry. She had become famous at a young age and had not had any scandals for so many years. She was simply the representative of a clean model in the entertainment industry. She had become famous for a period of time because of her acting skills and had never relied on implicating male celebrities to hype herself up. At eight o¡¯clock that night, Jiang Youyi obediently drove her brother¡¯s car to the airport to wait. When the time came, Jiang Youtian walked out of the VIP channel. She was wearing a black leather jacket, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. Black sunglasses covered half of her oval face, making her look rather imposing. Jiang Youtian¡¯s trip back to Ocean City was very low-key this time. She didn¡¯t even bring an assistant. ¡°Sister, over here.¡± Jiang Youyi waved at her. ¡°Lower your voice. Don¡¯t let the fans hear you.¡± ¡°Oh, 1 know, 1 know.¡± Only then did Jiang Youtian realize that her second sister¡¯s identity should not be made public. Moreover, this was the airport where the paparazzi and fans often appeared. ¡°Second Sister, haven¡¯t you been busy recently? Mom said a few days ago that you were filming.¡± ¡°The male lead fell and fractured his bones while riding a horse. He went to the hospital for treatment, so the production team is on holiday.¡± ¡°Oh my god, I didn¡¯t expect you actors to be so dangerous. Sis, you have to be careful. Health is more important than anything else.¡± Jiang Youyi was wearing a cashmere coat and a furry scarf as she followed behind Jiang Youtian. The two sisters got into the car. Exhausted, Jiang Youtian threw her bag in the backseat and leaned against it.. Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: Did You Really Kiss? Chapter 57: Did You Really Kiss? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi turned around and handed her a bottle of water. She waved her hand and closed her eyes to rest. Jiang Youtian put the water aside and started the car. ¡°What happened between you and Lu Yunxiao? Did you really kiss at the amusement park?¡± Her second sister¡¯s emotionless voice came from the backseat. Sigh, she really couldn¡¯t escape. ¡°Sis, you haven¡¯t had dinner yet, right? There¡¯s a new Chaoshan beef hotpot near our house. The ingredients are very fresh. I¡¯ll treat you to it¡­¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi.¡± ¡°¡­I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Stop playing dumb with me. If I ask you a question, answer it honestly. You can only lie to Mom and Dad by changing the topic.¡± ¡°All? How would 1 dare¡­¡± ¡°Then tell me the truth. Otherwise, don¡¯t expect me to clean up your mess in the future.¡± ¡°Sis, so you really came all the way back because of me?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the rearview mirror and opened her mouth slightly in surprise. ¡°Why are there so many questions?¡± Jiang Youtian neither admitted nor denied it. Only then did Jiang Youyi realize that she had misunderstood that she was dispensable in the family. At that time, she ate and slept like a fool every day, and nothing major happened. After breaking off the engagement with Xu Yuning this time, she realized how much her brother, sister-in-law, and second sister cared about her. She didn¡¯t seem to have lost out at all when she lost a crooked tree and received the care of her family. ¡°Jiang Youyi.¡± Seeing that Jiang Youyi was distracted, Jiang Youtian was so angry that she sat up straight and could not be bothered to close her eyes to rest. ¡°Sis, there¡¯s really nothing between us.¡± ¡°What about the photos? Are the photos fake too?¡± ¡°The photo is real, but it¡¯s the angle. He only wiped my mouth for me. He didn¡¯t kiss me at all.¡± ¡°Why did Lu Yunxiao wipe your mouth in front of so many people?¡± ¡°He¡¯s just¡­ enthusiastic, 1 guess. He saw that 1 was drooling, so he helped out.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a fool?¡± Jiang Youtian was angry and wanted to laugh. Why didn¡¯t she realize that her sister was a blockhead in the past? ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but we¡¯re definitely not dating. 1 don¡¯t like him either.¡± ¡°So what did Lu Yunxiao say to you after he carried you upstairs that time?¡± Jiang Youtian recalled what happened last time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lu Yunxiao¡¯s attitude was strange. Jiang Youyi hesitated for a while before finally saying, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the truth. Last time, he suggested working with me to create hype. I did want to give it a try at first. After all, Ocean City is only so big. There aren¡¯t many people who can make Xu Yuning retreat. However, I realized that he¡¯s a little temperamental and decided to stop working with him. But later on, I realized that¡­ Xu Yuning is no longer troublesome. It¡¯s even harder to get rid of Lu Yunxiao.¡± ¡°Wu Chen¡¯s underground bank. You bet on that three million, right?¡± ¡°How do you know that?¡± ¡°Just as you said, Ocean City is only so big. What can be hidden?¡± ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really good at predicting things.¡± ¡°Stop flattering me. Let me ask you, did you get Lu Yunxiao to help you get the money from Wu Chen?¡± ¡°You know that too? Second Sister, you really have sharp eyes and ears.¡± Jiang Youyi gave her a thumbs up with her other hand as she drove. ¡°Jiang Youyi, do you know who Wu Chen is? Are you crazy?¡± Jiang Youtian was furious. She reached out and patted Jiang Youyi¡¯s head. Although she did not use much strength, it was obvious that she was really angry. ¡°Wu Chen is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance. Why did you provoke him?¡± ¡°Who asked him to be so cheap and insist on betting on my privacy? This is called an eye for an eye.¡± Actually, Jiang Youyi had never thought of scamming anyone of their money, especially since she had no grudges with that person called Wu Chen. However, ever since Xu Yuning was hospitalized, those unscrupulous media outlets had embellished so many false reports and caused an uproar online. After finally quieting down for a few days, Jiang Youyi¡¯s Weibo was flooded by netizens again. There were all kinds of comments in the comments section. Some asked her to get back together with Xu Yuning, and some said that she was a promiscuous woman who loved whoever she saw. Anyway, they were making wild guesses based on their rich imagination. And this matter clearly had nothing to do with Wu Chen, a businessman who ran an underground casino and a bank. But he still wanted to interfere and rely on other people¡¯s privacy to earn money that went against his conscience. Jiang Youyi¡¯s view of the world was very simple. If people didn¡¯t offend her, she wouldn¡¯t offend them. If people were cheap, she definitely wouldn¡¯t be soft-hearted. ¡°You¡¯re too impulsive! Wu Chen is famous for being a poisonous snake. If you bite him back, will he just swallow his anger?¡± Jiang Youtian was furious. Jiang Youyi¡¯s lips twitched, but she didn¡¯t say anything.. Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Its Not Worth It to Become Enemies with Him Chapter 58: It¡¯s Not Worth It to Become Enemies with Him Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°You can still laugh? I¡¯m really¡­ scared to death by you every day. If I wasn¡¯t worried that Dad and Mom would be anxious about you, 1 really wouldn¡¯t have bothered with you.¡± Jiang Youtian rolled her eyes at her resentfully. ¡°Who is Lu Yunxiao? Can anyone order him around? He can help you get the money. Do you still think that there¡¯s nothing between the two of you?¡± ¡°We¡¯re working together. He asked for half of my money. That¡¯s a lot.¡± ¡°Do you think Lu Yunxiao is inferior to those three of you?¡± ¡°Who can complain about how hot money is?¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°You can be stubborn.¡± ¡°Alright, Second Sister, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Seeing that her second sister was really angry, Jiang Youyi hurriedly coaxed her softly. ¡°Youyi, we can all tell what¡¯s going on. Do you think you can really hide it from Wu Chen?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I can¡¯t hide it. He doesn¡¯t have any evidence to prove that the person is me.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t care. ¡°Wu Chen is not the kind of person who can swallow his pride. You made him suffer this time. He will definitely remember you. The fact that the Wu family can reach their current position is enough to prove their methods. Wu Chen is famous for being ruthless. It¡¯s not worth it for a young girl like you to become enemies with him.¡± ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry. There¡¯s always a way out.¡± Jiang Youtian:¡±¡­¡± When Jiang Youyi told them in the family group chat that she would not visit Xu Yuning and to bet on her, she thought that it was just a small matter. Jiang Youtian also bought it, but it was just for fun in the entertainment industry. No one cared. However, Wu Chen¡¯s plate was different. He was in a gray area and had connections with both the underworld and the police. His social relations were complicated. Jiang Youyi even bought three million yuan at once. Even if Wu Chen could not find evidence that the mastermind was her, he would still hate Jiang Youyi in his heart. Jiang Youtian¡¯s head was about to explode at the thought of how her sister had caused such a huge mess in just a few days. At the Qihe Corporation headquarters, Lu Yunxiao had just finished a meeting and had yet to leave the company. The male secretary walked in with a cup of coffee and said respectfully, ¡°President Lu, the coffee you wanted.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± ¡°President Lu, you still have to eat with President Liu of Shengxiang Corporation at 9:30 in a while. Do you want to rest for a while?¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t answer and only shook his head. The male secretary left tactfully. He was about to open the contract when his phone rang. Someone in the group had specially tagged him. It was a group chat with Lin Feng from Jiangbei. Lin Feng: ¡°Boss Lu, shouldn¡¯t you treat me to a meal? If I hadn¡¯t revealed the news to you, would you have rushed to the amusement park to stop her and even staged a passionate kiss? @Lu Yunxiao.¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°To be honest, the person who took the photo is quite skilled. When I first saw it, I thought it was a television drama. A handsome man and a beautiful woman. They are very pleasing to the eye.¡± Lu Yunxiao:¡±¡­¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Boss Lu, how do you want to thank me?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°1¡¯11 also reveal some news to you. Jiang Youtian just landed in Ocean City.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Really? Why haven¡¯t 1 heard of it?¡± In order to woo Jiang Youtian, Lin Feng even paid a high price to bribe a few entertainment reporters to inform him immediately if they had any news about Jiang Youtian. Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°I¡¯ve given you the thanks you wanted. I¡¯m working. Don¡¯t tag me.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Alright, alright. Go ahead. If this news is correct, I¡¯ll send a message to Youtian now and invite her to have a romantic French meal with me. Then, 1¡¯11 get her drunk and lure her home. Hehehe¡­¡± Wang Jiangbei:¡±¡­ Are you dreaming? Were you Zhuang Zhou in your previous life?¡± Lin Feng: ¡°What do you mean? Who can¡¯t have a beautiful vision? You don¡¯t have to laugh at me. Perhaps the top trending topic tomorrow will be me and Youtian. I¡¯ve already thought of the title. It¡¯s called, Ocean City¡¯s new noble, Young Master Lin, and the superstar, Jiang Youtian, are about to get married.¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve finally met a real bootlicker.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being a bootlicker? If you want to lick it, lick it. If you don¡¯t want to lick it, lick it tomorrow. You have the initiative.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°A bootlicker trying to save his dignity.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°This bootlicker will have everything you need in the end. Just don¡¯t be envious then.¡± Lin Feng did not have much time to argue with them in the group. He took out his phone and called Jiang Youtian. At the critical moment, this kid was smart. He was afraid that Jiang Youtian would lie to him, so he didn¡¯t ask her where she was now. Instead, he asked her directly why she didn¡¯t tell him that she had returned to Ocean City and didn¡¯t ask him to pick her up. Jiang Youtian: ¡°I just got home a few minutes ago. My sister picked me up. I had some private matters to deal with at home, so 1 didn¡¯t tell anyone..¡± Chapter 59 - Chapter 59: Who Did You See? Chapter 59: Who Did You See? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Feng: ¡°Youtian, 1¡¯11 pick you up now for supper.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°I¡¯m not eating tonight. Let¡¯s meet up some other time.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Then when are you free? As long as you agree to meet me, I can cooperate with you at any time.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°Young Master Lin, President Lu and my sister¡­¡± Lin Feng: ¡°You mean the two of them¡­ This is a long story. It¡¯s really hard to explain over the phone. Why don¡¯t 1 treat you to a meal and tell you in detail?¡± Jiang Youtian smiled. ¡°How can I let you spend money? I¡¯ll treat you tomorrow.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°How can I let a girl treat me? I¡¯ll pick you up at your house tomorrow.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. Let¡¯s meet at the hotel.¡± As a celebrity, Jiang Youtian naturally had many paparazzi following her. She was usually very careful with her words and actions. If Lin Feng¡¯s car appeared in front of her house, it would definitely be secretly taken by the paparazzi and posted online. She was well aware of the pros and cons. Lin Feng: ¡°Alright, remember to choose the restaurant. Just send me the location. I¡¯ll book it later.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°Okay.¡± On the other side, in the Xu family¡¯s private hospital. Xu Yuning gripped his phone tightly and stared at the intimate photo on the news on the screen. He was so angry that he threw his phone out. With a bang, the phone screen shattered into pieces. Zhang Meng happened to walk in with a bento. She glanced at the man on the bed and bent down to pick up the phone. ¡°Yuning, what¡¯s going on? You can be discharged tomorrow. Why are you still unhappy?¡± Xu Yuning did not answer and frowned. He recalled the past. He had wooed Jiang Youyi for four years and dated her for a year. Even when they were dating, he did not do anything out of line. Even if he wanted to hold hands, Jiang Youyi would avoid it, let alone kissing. But now? She had known Lu Yunxiao for a few days, but they actually kissed at the amusement park and became the top trending topic. So how could he not be angry? He really felt like he was going crazy. He was so jealous that he was going crazy. His heart was filled with unwillingness and jealousy. The thought of Jiang Youyi being intimate with another man made him so angry that he felt uncomfortable. He couldn¡¯t even control his anger. Zhang Meng placed the things she had bought on the table. Her sharp eyes saw the ruined phone in the corner and roughly guessed what Xu Yuning had seen. ¡°Yuning, don¡¯t read this messy news. Old Madam didn¡¯t want you to read these messy things on the Internet in the first place. You¡¯re¡­ because of Jiang Youyi, right?¡± Xu Yuning did not say a word and stared at the ceiling. Zhang Meng had already seen through Xu Yuning¡¯s thoughts. She continued, ¡°Yuning, actually, the two of them have been developing for a long time. Do you still remember what Jiang Youyi said at the wedding? They might have known each other for a long time, but none of this is important now. Jiang Youyi has long clung to this backer. I know you don¡¯t want to believe this, Yuning, but people will eventually change. Who can guarantee that they will always be the same as before?¡± ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Xu Yuning looked at Zhang Meng with a cold gaze. ¡°I just remembered that I was a maid in the Jiang family.¡± ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly,¡± Xu Yuning said immediately. He couldn¡¯t wait to know everything about Jiang Youyi. ¡°I remembered that when Jiang Youyi first returned to the country, she might have been influenced by Western education and had an open personality. When I was working in the Jiang family, I saw that she often called strange men and often ran out.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not lying to me, are you?¡± Xu Yuning looked at her, his eyes filled with doubt. After knowing that Zhang Meng had known Jiang Youyi before, he knew that this person¡¯s words could not be trusted. Zhang Meng explained patiently, ¡°Yuning, you can think about it. In the past five years when Jiang Youyi came back, did she often move around?¡± Xu Yuning did not speak. Zhang Meng knew that all these could be found out, so she told the truth. Actually, she did not know about this either. She only found out later. As for Jiang Youyi calling another man, that was nonsense. Her abilities were limited, and that was all she could find out. In the past five years, Jiang Youyi had spent a lot of time traveling all over the world. She had almost never lived in Ocean City. Xu Yuning also knew about these things, but he did not think too much about it. However, after Zhang Meng mentioned it this time, he had no choice but to think carefully. ¡°Yuning, think about it carefully and you¡¯ll find something strange. Which girl would run around? Even if she went on a trip, it can¡¯t be so frequent, right? Moreover, Jiang Youyi hasn¡¯t taken you once.. Who knows what she did outside and who she met?¡± Chapter 60 - Chapter 60: Participating in the Interview Chapter 60: Participating in the Interview Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xu Yuning¡¯s heart was in a complete mess. Thinking back carefully, he vaguely realized something. He remembered that he happened to be free once, so he suggested to Jiang Youyi that they go on a trip together. However, Jiang Youyi did not bring him along. Her attitude was very firm, so he could not force her. For the next five years, Jiang Youyi went on a trip every year. No matter how far it was or when, he did not go once. In the eyes of others, it was extremely abnormal. After all, they were a couple in love. Seeing Xu Yuning¡¯s struggle, Zhang Meng knew that her plan had succeeded. Xu Yuning was falling into her trap. Zhang Meng continued to strike while the iron was hot and said, ¡°Yuning, there¡¯s something I don¡¯t know if I should say. Previously, 1 heard that foreign students are very open-minded. Sometimes, there are very special gatherings. There are good and bad people mixed together. It¡¯s very chaotic. It¡¯s said that¡­ there are also contraband. After all, the inspection of contraband overseas is not as strict as in China, right? Perhaps she also met Lu Yunxiao at that time. Look at how quickly they developed. Who would believe it if they hadn¡¯t communicated before?¡± ¡°Shut up! Stop talking.¡± Xu Yuning looked frustrated and did not want to listen anymore. ¡°Yuning, 1 just don¡¯t want you to fall deeper. If you see Jiang Youyi¡¯s face clearly, you don¡¯t have to torture yourself like this.¡± ¡°These are all your own conjectures. Since you said that she¡¯s bad, show me the evidence. Don¡¯t try to ruin someone¡¯s reputation with your mouth. Jiang Youyi has never said that you¡¯re bad before.¡± Zhang Meng opened her mouth but could not say anything. Has the world changed? Men were no longer easy to fool. She thought that what she said was reasonable. After wasting so much effort, he should be swayed at the very least. However, she did not expect the other party to not believe it. On the other side, in the Bai family¡¯s mansion. Bai Bing held a document and read it silently. It was information about Jiang Youyi. ¡°These eight years overseas are all blank.¡± Bai Bing¡¯s lips curled up with interest. She did not expect Jiang Youyi¡¯s resume to be so interesting. ¡°Miss Bai, these last few pages are all traces of her return to the country.¡± A man¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. *** No one expected Mrs. Xu to appear on the television station for an exclusive interview. The name of the interview was ¡°Hello Face to Face¡±. It had been three years since the first episode of this program was released, and it had always been very popular. Bai Bing had also relied on her image as a beautiful host to rise to the top and become a god in one battle. In the three years since the launch of Hello Face-to-face, it had attracted a lot of attention, including from business giants and newbies. As long as they were on the show, their popularity would increase. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry would fight to get in. There were also rumors that as long as they could appear on this show, their popularity would increase exponentially. However, to appear on this show now, they needed to spend money to buy a spot. It would cost at least a million yuan. They did not know if it was true. After all, Mrs. Xu was one of the top three wealthy families. With her status here, she only needed to inform the production team to start recording. In the studio, Bai Bing was sitting on a chair with exquisite makeup. Mrs. Xu sat opposite her. She was wearing a wine-red evening gown and jade on her wrist. It was not an exaggeration to describe her as elegant. Bai Bing faced the camera and said, ¡°Next, we warmly welcome tonight¡¯s guest, the president of the Jiashi Foundation, Mrs. Xu.¡± Everyone clapped their hands in unison and there was a warm round of applause. Bai Bing: ¡°Hello, Mrs. Xu.¡± Mrs. Xu nodded. Bai Bing: ¡°Have you watched our show before?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°Of course. Your show is very popular. I watch it often.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Xu, for your favor. Our show is about to officially begin. The questions for this episode are some of the questions that the netizens have voted to know the most. It might be a little presumptuous, so please don¡¯t blame us.¡± Mrs. Xu replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°First of all, is it convenient to reveal Xu Yuning¡¯s relationship?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°My son has a few relationships. Which one are you referring to?¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Of course it¡¯s the part that most people know now.¡± Mrs. Xu asked, ¡°Jiang Youyi?¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Yes. According to insiders, Xu Yuning has a deep relationship with Jiang Youyi.¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°It¡¯s normal for young people.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Many media outlets have reported on this relationship before. Is it convenient for you to reveal how they met?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°It was a business party. They bumped into each other and fell in love at first sight.¡± Bai Bing asked, ¡°How long did he chase after Jiang Youyi?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°It¡¯s been almost four to five years..¡± Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Not Answering is Already the Answer Chapter 61: Not Answering is Already the Answer Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Bing: ¡°Then what does your family think of Jiang Youyi?¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment and tears slowly welled up. Then, she said, ¡°We treat Jiang Youyi very well and treat her as our biological daughter. We originally thought that Jiang Youyi would be our daughter-in-law. Even if the Jiang family¡¯s conditions are far inferior to ours, 1 don¡¯t mind. Being in love is the most important thing for young people. We respect our children¡¯s opinions.¡± Mrs. Xu began to stir up trouble with the families of the two families. Bai Bing said, ¡°Since the two of them are very close and you treat her like your own daughter, why did the scene of the engagement breaking off happen at the wedding later?¡± This was the truth that the public wanted to know. Everyone inside and outside the screen began to wait impatiently for Mrs. Xu to continue. Mrs. Xu looked desolate and tears fell. She said, ¡°Maybe they¡¯re not fated.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°It can¡¯t be, right? The two of them have been together for so many years. No matter what, they should have feelings for each other. Why did they suddenly break up? The rumors outside have been saying that it¡¯s because Miss Jiang has fallen in love with someone else, so did she really fall in love with someone else?¡± Mrs. Xu said nothing. Bai Bing said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Xu. If you feel that this question has offended you, you don¡¯t have to answer.¡± Mrs. Xu was silent for a few seconds before saying, ¡°It¡¯s not illegal for her to like anyone. Just make it clear and don¡¯t delay us.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°So Miss Jiang really fell in love with someone else?¡± Mrs. Xu did not say anything. However, everyone could tell that many times, not wanting to answer was equivalent to tacit agreement. Bai Bing asked, ¡°Have you returned the Xu family¡¯s betrothal gift?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°Yes. Later, the elders of the Jiang family came forward and apologized to us. We all accepted it.¡± Bai Bing said, ¡°Madam and Sir are really kind. They¡¯re still willing to forgive the person who hurt you.¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°We have no choice. After all, feelings are not forced. Yuning liked her in the past, and we respect his preferences. Now that they¡¯re no longer together, we¡¯ll let him have his way. As parents, the most important thing is for our son to be well.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°It¡¯s really rare for you and CEO Xu to be so open-minded. Did Miss Jiang contact Xu Yuning after that?¡± Mrs. Xu shook her head. ¡°We didn¡¯t contact her again, but she let go of these things. She didn¡¯t even visit my son when he was hospitalized, even once.¡± Bai Bing said, ¡°1 still don¡¯t understand. How can one break off our relationship after so many years? Were the true feelings that the two of them said back then fake?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°In that case, perhaps the Jiang Family thought that our family¡¯s conditions were alright and could allow Jiang Youyi to live a better life. However, since they chose to separate, they might have realized that someone¡¯s conditions are better than our Xu Family¡¯s, right? Most people want to go to higher places in the first place, so there¡¯s nothing wrong with doing this. Isn¡¯t everyone like this? That¡¯s understandable, but my son is very sad.¡± Her meaning could not be any more obvious. She was saying that Jiang Youyi had someone else and that the other people had better conditions, so she shook off Xu Yuning. Bai Bing said, ¡°This seems a little too much. 1 originally thought that Miss Jiang¡¯s words at the wedding were actually a joke, but after seeing her interactions on Weibo and the intimate photos that have been spreading everywhere these few days, it seems like there are traces.¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°This has nothing to do with us anymore. Since our families have already annulled our marriage, we won¡¯t interfere with each other.¡± Bai Bing said, ¡°What if Jiang Youyi wants to turn back and start over with Xu Yuning again? What do you think?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°That depends on my son¡¯s wishes. As parents, we have no objections.¡± When the audience below the stage heard this, they were almost touched. Some of them even shed hot tears. Where could they find such parents? Even if the woman had done something wrong to her son, she could choose to forgive her. Seeing the audience¡¯s reaction, Bai Bing was extremely satisfied. This was the effect she wanted, so she continued to press on. ¡°1 heard some rumors previously that your Xu family deliberately made things difficult for the Jiang family in business. Is that true?¡± Mrs. Xu sneered. ¡°Our field is in financial funds. They do department stores, and our business scope is completely unrelated. Previously, I thought that we would be family in the future, so I planned to help them.. My lover had already prepared the relevant cooperation plan and planned to start a new business together, but 1 didn¡¯t expect¡­¡± Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: A Persons Character Is Indeed Important Chapter 62: A Person¡¯s Character Is Indeed Important Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Bing said, ¡°You didn¡¯t expect these things to happen later. It¡¯s really a pity. Then what kind of girlfriend is Xu Yuning looking for in the future? I heard that many girls in Ocean City are interested in him.¡± Mrs. Xu: ¡°My thoughts have never changed. It¡¯s fine as long as my son likes it. We just want him to be good. As for what kind of person Yuning is looking for, we don¡¯t know. 1 just hope that he can find a sincere and kind person in the future. A person¡¯s character is indeed very important.¡± Everyone could tell that she was mocking Jiang Youyi. The corners of Bai Bing¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. ¡°In that case, the audience watching our show in front of the television, if you think that you¡¯re a kind girl, please interact with Young Master Xu often. I hope that he can overcome this emotional setback as soon as possible and his life will get better and better in the future.¡± Mrs. Xu: ¡°Thank you, Miss Bai.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Alright, at the end of the show, there¡¯s still one more question. Do you think Miss Jiang will have any objections after the show is broadcast?¡± Mrs. Xu: ¡°Jiang Youyi is a strong person. She never lets herself be at a disadvantage. When she sees this show, she¡¯ll probably immediately say that I¡¯m slandering her. She might even fabricate some evidence of my son¡¯s affair. I¡¯ve long expected these things to happen, but since I dare to participate in this show, I¡¯m not afraid of her spreading rumors. I¡¯ve always believed that the innocent are innocent, and the corrupt are corrupt. I also believe that justice will come eventually, and those who did wrong will definitely receive the punishment they deserve.¡± The last sentence was the essence of Mrs. Xu¡¯s entire sentence, which happened to reflect Mrs. Xu¡¯s superb speech art. Actually, Xu Yuning had no idea that she was on the show this time, let alone Jiang Youyi. If the Jiang family saw the content of this program, they would definitely be furious. However, at that time, even if they said that Xu Yuning had an affair, it would be useless. Because everyone would only think that Jiang Youyi was fabricating rumors to prove herself. Sometimes, the truth was not important. What was important was whether he could seize the initiative. Just like when playing chess, this step was very important. Mrs. Xu had been in a wealthy family for many years and was good at scheming. How could she be surpassed by a young man? The program ended just like that. That night, the edited interview version was posted online. The Internet instantly became lively. After the netizens saw this, they began to feel indignant for Mrs. Xu and Xu Yuning. They pointed their fingers at Jiang Youyi, scolding her for being cold and heartless, for breaking up with her long-time fiance casually, for being vain, and for sucking up to the rich. They even scolded her for having a bad character. Hence, before Jiang Youyi¡¯s intimate photos were over, she was forced to endure another round of cyber violence. The number of private messages on her Weibo was almost 999+. The insults inside were simply unbearable. Some people even pulled a banner at the entrance of the Jiang family¡¯s estate and scolded her for being a vain and bad woman. At night, the Jiang family was having dinner together when they saw this interview. They were so angry that they wanted to explode with the woman who was spouting nonsense on the show. When Jiang Youtian saw this, she directly smashed a teacup. She said, ¡°This old woman actually slandered Xiao Yi like this. It¡¯s simply a perfect act of the villain complaining first. I¡¯ve been a celebrity for several years, but I¡¯ve never been as good at acting as her. His mother is really interesting. How can she have the cheek to turn around and accuse us?¡± Jiang Youyi lowered her head and ate silently. Mrs. Jiang said, ¡°Dear, say something. Their family is too much. It was their son who did something bad first and even had a child. Now, they have the cheek to say that we¡¯re wrong. We saved them some face out of goodwill and didn¡¯t make a big deal out of it. Yet, they couldn¡¯t take it anymore.¡± Sister-in-law Wang Yuqing said, ¡°Mother, it¡¯s too late to say anything now. The woman has already aborted the child. We haven¡¯t been able to verify the entire situation. They will only ruin our reputation and say that we made it up on purpose.¡± Jiang Nian said, ¡°The Xu family is really troublesome. Fortunately, Youyi didn¡¯t marry back then. Otherwise, how could Youyi be happy with such a vicious woman as her mother-in-law?¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°I¡¯ve been in the entertainment industry for so long and have seen all kinds of storms. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get a team to handle this.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Second Sister, there¡¯s no need..¡± Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Ill Handle It Myself Chapter 63: I¡¯ll Handle It Myself Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youtian: ¡°This has a lot to do with your reputation. If you don¡¯t deal with it properly, do you still want your reputation?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? I don¡¯t have a reputation to begin with. I¡¯m not you and my brother, hehe.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°How can you still smile?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°That¡¯s good too. It doesn¡¯t matter if Xu Yuning¡¯s mother takes it out on me now. At least 1 can resist it. If she secretly stabs me in the back later, won¡¯t I be even more helpless?¡± Jiang Nian: ¡°What are you thinking? Are you saying that it¡¯s a good thing to be discredited by others?¡± Jiang Yunfei: ¡°That¡¯s enough. Stop arguing.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°Dad¡­¡± Jiang Nian: ¡°Dad¡­¡± Jiang Youyi still lowered her head in silence and focused on eating the drumstick in her bowl. Jiang Yunfei: ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect this matter to develop to this extent. I didn¡¯t think that the Xu Family would play such tricks. I originally thought that our family had already done this perfectly, but in the end, they were unreasonable and didn¡¯t spare us. Even so, I still believe that Xu Hao doesn¡¯t know about this. I believe that his character and personality won¡¯t do such a dirty thing.¡± Mrs. Jiang said, ¡°Even if he doesn¡¯t know, Mrs. Xu already represents the Xu family. They¡¯re forcing our Youyi to a dead end. What should our Youyi do in the future? How can she talk about marriage?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Mom. I can stay single for the rest of my life. Do you know that there¡¯s a popular saying now? ¡®If you don¡¯t get married, you¡¯ll be safe.''¡± Mrs. Jiang was speechless. Jiang Yunfei said, ¡°Alright, stop talking. Let Youyi decide for herself.¡± Since the head of the family had spoken, this matter was settled. However, Jiang Nian disagreed. ¡°No, Dad. Those guys will only bully Little Sister to death!¡± In Jiang Nian¡¯s eyes, his third sister was not as smart as his second sister. She must have gone crazy from studying overseas. If she were to resolve it herself, the Xu family would only play with her! Jiang Youtian said, ¡°Dad, how can we do that? Youyi is so young, that Mrs. Xu is countless years older than her. She¡¯s so experienced, how can Youyi beat her? Why don¡¯t we let Mom tell her in her group chat? Mom is usually a good person, so it¡¯s easier for others to believe whatever she says. When the explanation spreads, everyone will understand what their family is like.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Sister, I can really handle this.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°Handle your ass. Xu Yuning and Lu Yunxiao, which one can you handle?¡± Jiang Yunfei said, ¡°It¡¯s settled then. Don¡¯t interfere. Let Youyi do it herself.¡± Wang Yuqing said, ¡°I think Dad is right. Youyi is already 23 years old. She¡¯s no longer a child. She can¡¯t be protected by others for the rest of her life. She has to face this herself. Otherwise, she won¡¯t know what to do next time she encounters such a thing.¡± Wang Yuqing was smart and immediately understood what Jiang Yunfei meant. She thought rationally. Mrs. Jiang said, ¡°I know that, but what right do they have to bully my daughter like this? I¡¯ve never seen anyone so shameless.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Mom, it¡¯s okay. Lies can¡¯t be established. The person who causes the fire will definitely burn himself.¡± Jiang Nian: ¡°Dad, why don¡¯t you let Youtian come forward? She¡¯s a big star with so many fans. She¡¯ll be very influential if she posts on Weibo or something.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°No, no, no, definitely not. How can you let my matter cause trouble for Second Sister? Everyone, don¡¯t worry about me. Give me some trust, okay? 1 can definitely resolve it in a day before the sun sets tomorrow.¡± Everyone: ¡°Before the sun sets tomorrow?¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°You¡¯ve already thought of a solution? Or are you planning to rush to Xu Yuning¡¯s house to assassinate his mother before the sun sets tomorrow?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Sister, why else would you say that you know me the best in our family?¡± Jiang Youtian:¡±¡­¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I won¡¯t tease you anymore. I¡¯m sure I can handle it myself.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°Xiao Yi, do you know the seriousness of this matter? If you don¡¯t handle it well, you¡¯ll have to bear the scapegoat of betraying your lover and climbing up the social ladder from now on. It might even affect your future life. Which proper family would let their son find such a woman?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t worry. I really know everything.¡± Seeing that Jiang Youyi was so determined, the others could not dissuade her. After all, she was already an adult. Even the head of the family, Jiang Yunfei, believed that she could handle it. Although the others were worried, they could only choose to believe her.. Chapter 64 - Chapter 64:1 Didnt Educate The Child Properly Chapter 64:1 Didn¡¯t Educate The Child Properly Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the show was broadcasted, Lin Feng took the initiative to contact Jiang Youtian. He asked if she needed help, but Jiang Youtian politely refused. Lin Feng was still standing up for the Jiang family in the crowd. Lin Feng: ¡°Xu Yuning¡¯s mother is really not easy to deal with. This basin of dirty water is really ruthless. I called Youtian, but she rejected my help. I wonder how they plan to deal with this matter.¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. Some people won¡¯t let anything happen to Jiang Youyi.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Some people? Are you talking about my Brother Lu? Brother Lu, are you planning to interfere in this matter?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°You¡¯re underestimating her. Instead of worrying about the Jiang family, why don¡¯t you worry about the Xu family? Jiang Youyi isn¡¯t someone to be trifled with.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Aiyo, what¡¯s with your blatant arrogance and belief?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand her combat strength, but Wu Chen does.¡± Lin Feng laughed heartily. At the thought of Wu Chen losing so much money to Jiang Youyi, he found it very funny. Wang Jiangbei said, ¡°Ocean City hasn¡¯t been this lively in years. How interesting.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°It¡¯s true. Ever since Jiang Youyi broke off the engagement, 1 feel like I¡¯m filming a television drama every day. No one knows what will happen in the next second.¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°President Lu, would you like to have a drink with us?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°I don¡¯t have time. I have to wait at home to watch the show.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°You mean Jiang Youyi will fight back soon?¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°Mrs. Xu¡¯s stage has been set up. Jiang Youyi will definitely play with her.¡± Lin Feng:¡±¡­ Now that you mention it, why do 1 feel that Jiang Youyi is quite scary?¡± Lu Yunxiao knew very well that Bai Bing was definitely behind all of this. She had already started to take action. Moreover, she had chosen the Xu family, which Jiang Youyi had offended, to play along with Xu Yuning¡¯s mother mercilessly and push Jiang Youyi back to the center of the storm. After the netizens who did not know the truth saw the video, they could not help but stand on the moral high ground and curse Jiang Youyi. Bai Bing was ruthless and used a despicable move. Bai Bing was far from being as gentle and sensible as she looked. When Jiang Youyi¡¯s best friend, Zhong Xiaohui, saw the interview, she almost ran over and tore the roof off Xu Yuning¡¯s house. After calming down, she immediately found someone to register more than ten alternate accounts for her and went online to confront those brainless haters who scolded Jiang Youyi. She even spent tens of thousands of yuan to hire professional trolls to scold those haters online. However, these were just a drop in the bucket. Mrs. Xu¡¯s superb acting skills made most people who saw the interview choose to believe everything she said unconditionally. In the end, no matter who spoke up for Jiang Youyi online, a large number of haters would flood the comments section and crazily insult the people who spoke. They would not even consider the truth of those words. They would only believe the so-called truth that they were willing to believe. Zhong Xiaohui was so angry that she could not even eat. She kept bombarding Jiang Youyi with WeChat messages. Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°Did these people not even finish nine years of compulsory education? Do they have no brains at all? And you, why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Huh? I¡¯m eating snail noodles. Wait for me.¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°I¡¯m really impressed. Are you the reincarnation of a pig? Why are you still talking about noodles at a time like this?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Calm down, calm down.¡± Zhong Xiaohui said, ¡°You¡¯re calm. If you don¡¯t explain now, you¡¯ll become a rat that everyone wants to beat up.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Do you think this is called being infamous?¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°Sister, why are you still in the mood to joke at a time like this? Even if everyone in Ocean City spits on you, they can drown you, do you know that?¡± Jiang Youyi was wearing cartoon pajamas. She lazily brushed her makeup as she looked up at the time on the wall. Yes, it¡¯s time. She slowly opened her Weibo and uploaded five recordings with her small hands¡ªthen posted them one by one. The first was Xu Yuning¡¯s father, Xu Hao¡¯s apologetic voice¡ª ¡°Brother Jiang, 1 didn¡¯t educate a good child. Our corporation has had too many things to do this year. I was busy with work every day and neglected to educate the child. That¡¯s why he fooled around with women outside behind Youyi¡¯s back and even made the other woman pregnant. Our family has let you down in this matter. We can understand if Youyi wants to break off the engagement.¡± His voice was very recognizable. Ordinary people could not imitate it. The second was obviously Mrs. Xu¡¯s calm voice. ¡°In-law, we¡¯ve known each other for a long time, and you know what kind of person our family is. Yuning did go overboard in this matter, but 1 can guarantee you that no matter how he plays outside, those people are just putting on an act. Youyi will always be the legitimate wife of our Xu family. As long as she¡¯s willing to marry into our family, her status will never be shaken..¡± Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Reversal of Public Opinion Chapter 65: Reversal of Public Opinion Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Immediately after, Xu Yuning spoke with a sobbing tone¡ª ¡°Youyi, can you forgive me this time? 1 really know my mistake. I was just impulsive, but you will always be the only person 1 love. Believe me¡­¡± Then came Jiang Youyi¡¯s voice¡ª ¡°Auntie, I¡¯ve already given you the explanation you want. The truth is what everyone sees. On account that I¡¯ve known Xu Yuning for five years, I won¡¯t publicize this matter. After all, the impact is too great. Therefore, I hope that the matter of me breaking off the engagement can end here. Don¡¯t let public opinion ferment anymore.¡± The fifth was still Jiang Youyi¡¯s voice¡ª ¡°Since we¡¯ve talked things out, there¡¯s no need for us to stay any longer. The betrothal gifts will be transferred back to your accounts within twenty-four hours. There will be a text reminder then. The things we bought will also be sent back to you.¡± Once Jiang Youyi posted on Weibo, the public opinion online instantly flipped. Everyone who had heard these five recordings knew that Jiang Youyi¡¯s annulment of the engagement with Xu Yuning was not because Jiang Youyi had fallen in love with someone else and forgot her righteousness for the sake of benefits. Instead, Xu Yuning had cheated on her first and even got someone else pregnant. Initially, those netizens who criticized Jiang Youyi asked themselves. If they had encountered such a thing, even if they had to harm themselves, they would definitely make that scumbag pay. Jiang Youyi had suffered so many insults, but she had never said anything bad about Xu Yuning. On the other hand, the Xu family did not feel guilty at all and even distorted the truth on the show. Everyone started to defend Jiang Youyi. Some of the comments with the most likes were like this¡ª ¡°Xu Yuning¡¯s mother is really evil to the core. She deliberately pretended to be pitiful on the show and wanted to blame others.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi is really tolerant. If it were me, this recording would have been released immediately after the engagement was canceled. Would the Xu family still have the chance to jump around here?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t imagine that if Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t record it, she would be bullied to death by the Xu family.¡± ¡°That scumbag Xu Yuning acted so affectionately in front of outsiders. Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that he loved Jiang Youyi very much. In the end, he still cheated and got someone pregnant.¡± ¡°To be honest, if I were Jiang Youyi, I might have committed suicide long ago after being attacked by so many people online and some people even blocked her door to cause trouble.¡± ¡°Is this the modern version of the Legend of Zhen Huan? If it were me, I definitely wouldn¡¯t even survive the first episode.¡± As soon as the recording was released, it exploded on the Internet like an atomic bomb. It was as if it had silently slapped Mrs. Xu a few times. Mrs. Xu had already expected Jiang Youyi to respond, but she never expected Jiang Youyi to have a recording. She was instantly frightened and didn¡¯t know what to do. In her panic, she did not dare to contact her husband and son to discuss how to solve the problem. Instead, she immediately contacted Bai Bing. To be on the safe side, she did not even use her usual phone number to contact her. Mrs. Xu asked, ¡°Miss Bai, what¡¯s with the recording online?¡± Bai Bing asked, ¡°You¡¯re asking me? 1 wanted to ask you. Didn¡¯t you notice Jiang Youyi¡¯s recording at that time?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t know. It was too chaotic at that time. Who had the time to pay attention to her?¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Does that mean that this recording is real?¡± Mrs. Xu hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer. Bai Bing said, ¡°You¡¯d better tell me the truth. Now that things have developed to this extent, if you still lie to me, I can¡¯t help you anymore.¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°The recording¡­ is real.¡± Bai Bing: ¡°Jiang Youyi is too fast. 1 don¡¯t know how to help you now.¡± Mrs. Xu was extremely anxious. ¡°Miss Bai, you¡¯re the only one who can help me now. My husband and son don¡¯t know about this. If they find out, they¡¯ll definitely blame me. I¡¯m already so old, so it¡¯s fine if I¡¯m scolded online. But 1 don¡¯t want to implicate my family because of me. Besides, if you didn¡¯t insist on inviting me to your show back then, how could this matter have blown up?¡± Of course, it was not a coincidence that Mrs. Xu was on Bai Bing¡¯s show. She thought that Bai Bing had only invited her to expose the news for the sake of popularity. She would never have thought that Bai Bing¡¯s real selfish motive was to completely ruin Jiang Youyi¡¯s reputation with this interview. She was just a knife that she used. Bai Bing: ¡°Mrs. Xu, you¡¯re wrong. 1 only invited you to the show, not to lie. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely help you if I can. But now that things have developed to this extent, you can only try your best..¡± Chapter 66 - 66 Inferior Method of Seeking Death 66 Inferior Method of Seeking Death Mrs. Xu was overjoyed. ¡°No matter what it is, I¡¯m willing to try.¡± Bai Bing said, ¡°You can pretend that you can¡¯t withstand cyber violence and want to commit suicide.¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°Suicide? I don¡¯t have to do that, right?¡± Bai Bing said, ¡°Mrs. Xu, you might not understand what I mean. Pretend to commit suicide. Find a few supplements at home and eat them. Then get the servants at home to call an ambulance to send you to the hospital. In order to act more convincingly, you have to wash your stomach in the hospital and make everyone think that you¡¯ve undergone emergency treatment and your life is in danger. Leave the rest to me. I¡¯ll reverse the public opinion on the Internet. Say that Jiang Youyi forced you to die.¡± Mrs. Xu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She did hate Jiang Youyi, but she was not brainless. This method might work, but she would lose all her face. She was the wife of a top-notch wealthy family. In order to deal with a young woman, and his son¡¯s ex, she actually had to use such a despicable method? At that time, not to mention netizens, even her son and husband would probably be ashamed of her. This Bai Bing was extremely scheming. Bai Bing asked, ¡°Mrs. Xu, are you listening?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°Let me think about it.¡± Bai Bing couldn¡¯t help but urge her. ¡°You don¡¯t have much time left. If you delay any longer, it might be useless. Whether you can force Jiang Youyi to a dead end depends on whether you can make up your mind.¡± Mrs. Xu couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Do you have a grudge against Jiang Youyi? Or against the Jiang family?¡± Bai Bing instantly became alert. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. I¡¯m not familiar with either Jiang Youyi or the Jiang family. How can there be a grudge?¡± Mrs. Xu said, ¡°You¡¯re really ruthless. If you didn¡¯t have a grudge against them, you wouldn¡¯t have resorted to such a lethal move, right?¡± Bai Bing¡¯s tone returned to normal. ¡°I just feel uncomfortable that you were attacked online after participating in my show. It has nothing to do with the Jiang family at all. If you think this method won¡¯t work, then I¡¯ll apologize to you. I was rash.¡± Of course, Mrs. Xu wouldn¡¯t believe her. She calmed down and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to apologize. It¡¯s true that I don¡¯t like Jiang Youyi, but it¡¯s not to the extent that I have to fight her to the death. This matter ends here. I hope only the heavens and the earth know what you told me. There won¡¯t be a third person who knows. Miss Bai, it¡¯s not easy for you to reach your current position at such a young age, right? You have to be careful with your words.¡± After hanging up, Mrs. Xu calmed down a lot, but she was still a little afraid. Previously, she had only wanted to avenge her son and punish Jiang Youyi. She had never thought that her anger would be used by someone with intentions. Initially, she thought that Bai Bing was only looking for her for the topic and viewership ratings. Now that she thought about it, things were far from that simple. Bai Bing clearly wanted Jiang Youyi dead, which was very interesting. Although Mrs. Xu was impulsive and irritable, she was not a fool. She could tell that something was wrong. Fortunately, she came to her senses in time and did not continue to make mistakes according to the idea Bai Bing gave her. However, Jiang Youyi¡¯s recording was indeed unexpected. Xu Yuning¡¯s father had a huge fight with Mrs. Xu that day. Xu Yuning did not even return home. That night, after quietly settling the discharge procedures, there was no news of him. When Mrs. Xu received a call from the bodyguards, she found out that her son had already gone through the discharge procedures and that no one could contact him. In her panic, she suddenly thought of that shameless woman¡ªZhang Meng. *** At this moment, in the Jiang family, Jiang Youyi threw her phone aside to sleep after sending the recording. When she woke up the next morning, as expected, her phone was bombarded again. Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°Awesome, awesome my sister. You¡¯re really too awesome. Let¡¯s see how Xu Yuning¡¯s mother can still jump around now!¡± Zhong Xiaohui said, ¡°She deserves it. She should have a taste of being abused on the Internet. I¡¯ve never seen such a bad old woman!¡± Chen Hao: ¡°You scared us to death. I was so worried yesterday that I couldn¡¯t sleep. I called your brother and sister. Now, I can finally relax.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°You fought back beautifully.¡± Jiang Youyi read through them one by one, but she did not reply. She narrowed her eyes and got out of bed to wash up when she heard Housekeeper Sister Fang calling her downstairs for dinner. Jiang Youyi changed her clothes and went downstairs. She saw her family sitting at the dining table and talking about something. Everyone looked good. Chapter 67 - 67 Beautiful Counterattack 67 Beautiful Counterattack Jiang Nian: ¡°Our Big Smart is awake.¡± Wang Yuqing: ¡°Youyi, well done. You¡¯ve really grown up.¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you hide the recording from us? You scared me to death.¡± Mrs. Jiang said, ¡°Alright, now that the matter is almost resolved, we can have a good meal.¡± Jiang Yunfei: ¡°Let Youyi eat first.¡± Jiang Youyi lowered her head and chewed on the noodles, quietly listening to her family discuss what happened last night. Jiang Youtian: ¡°You turned on the recording when you went to the Xu family?¡± Jiang Youyi nodded without looking up and focused on eating the noodles in her bowl. Jiang Nian: ¡°Fortunately, you were careful in advance. Otherwise, who knows what Xu Yuning¡¯s mother would do.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°At that time, I was afraid that their family would argue later, so I instinctively recorded it. I thought I wouldn¡¯t need it, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be used so quickly.¡± Mrs. Jiang said, ¡°You two keep saying that our Xiao Yi is a single-minded person. Isn¡¯t she quite smart? No one is allowed to talk about her in the future.¡± Jiang Nian said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t you know what your daughter is like? She¡¯s smart only after breaking off the engagement. Could it be that her intelligence was sealed by that scumbag Xu Yuning previously? She can only break the seal after leaving him?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Who told you to say that I¡¯m like a demon and even remove the seal?¡± Jiang Yunfei said, ¡°Since we¡¯ve already proven our innocence, let¡¯s end this matter here. We have to leave some leeway for others when we do things. We can¡¯t force others to a dead end. I believe that Xu Yuning¡¯s mother was just confused for a moment. She didn¡¯t insist on making our family unable to make a comeback.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re really the Holy Father.¡± Jiang Yunfei asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Jiang Youyi explained leisurely, ¡°I¡¯m just saying that you¡¯re a saint. The Holy Father is the Virgin Mary¡¯s husband.¡± Jiang Yunfei: ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Nian: ¡°That¡¯s enough, you two. How rude.¡± Jiang Yunfei: ¡°Youyi, I still have something to ask you.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Dad, tell me.¡± Jiang Yunfei: ¡°Previously, the news said that you were in a relationship with the Lu Family¡¯s kid. It even spread like wildfire. There were even intimate photos of the two of you. What exactly is going on?¡± Jiang Youyi stole a glance at her second sister and frantically gave her a look, hoping that she could save her and explain herself. Jiang Youtian understood and immediately continued, ¡°Dad, the Internet is full of nonsense. The two of them bumped into each other by accident and were photographed by the paparazzi to spout nonsense. Actually, Youyi went to meet a small celebrity I introduced to her that day, but something happened in between. Lu Yunxiao happened to go to that place. It was just a coincidence.¡± As long as it was about Lu Yunxiao, Jiang Youtian had always helped her sister clarify unconditionally. Because she didn¡¯t want her sister to have anything to do with Lu Yunxiao, she had to cut off the signs in time. Jiang Yunfei said, ¡°I see. There has been a lot of news about you during this period of time. Be careful when you go out in the future. Don¡¯t let anyone scheme against you.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I won¡¯t, Daddy. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Nian asked, ¡°Are you close to Lu Yunxiao? Youyi?¡± Jiang Youyi lied without hesitation. ¡°No, not at all.¡± Jiang Nian said, ¡°That¡¯s good. Lu Yunxiao is a shrewd person. The Lu family is a top-notch family that our family can¡¯t compare to. Moreover, with your intelligence, you can¡¯t control a smart person like Lu Yunxiao.¡± Jiang Youyi nodded crazily. ¡°Big Brother is right.¡± The family chatted and laughed as they finished breakfast. There was still plenty of time. Jiang Youtian asked Jiang Youyi, ¡°Do you have any plans later?¡± Jiang Youyi shook her head and said no. ¡°Then accompany me for a facial.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like to move¡­¡± ¡°Be my driver. I don¡¯t want to drive myself.¡± Jiang Youtian didn¡¯t give her a chance to reject at all. Jiang Youyi could only nod helplessly. Jiang Youtian usually had a beautician who specially came to serve her, but this time, it was a private trip back to Ocean City. She did not bring any staff. She had not been to the beauty salon in Ocean City many times. In accordance with the principle of only choosing the expensive ones and not the right ones, she simply chose the largest and most expensive plain skin management center. ¡°Sister, go in and do it. I¡¯ll wait for you in the car. Send me a message when you¡¯re done,¡± Jiang Youyi said lazily. ¡°Hurry up and follow me in. Take good care of yourself from head to toe today and swipe my card.¡± Jiang Youtian was slightly disdainful. ¡°Look at yourself. You don¡¯t look like a little girl at all. You¡¯re either in sportswear or jeans every day. You¡¯re not exquisite at all.¡± Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Lets See Who Dares to Stop Me Chapter 68: Let¡¯s See Who Dares to Stop Me Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi could not refute and could only follow her obediently. Jiang Youtian was very generous. As soon as she entered, she chose a single care project that cost more than a thousand yuan. She and Jiang Youyi would be doing it together. The beautician arranged for them to enter an independent private room. The room was lit with faint incense, making people relax unconsciously. But this beautician¡¯s technique¡­ Even Jiang Youyi, who rarely came to the beauty salon, felt that it was too amateurish. The beautician had been promoting the products non-stop since they entered. Jiang Youtian could not resist her glib tongue and applied for a 20,000 yuan storage card. The money was spent, but no one expected this person to make Jiang Youtian¡¯s face allergic. ¡°All¡­ How did my face become like this?¡± Jiang Youtian woke up in a daze and looked in the mirror. When she saw the large rash on her face, she was so frightened that she jumped off the beauty bed. She had to rely on her looks to make a living. Prettiness was a way for her to earn money. ¡°Did you eat something messy at home that made you allergic? The products we use are guaranteed to be absolutely green and safe. I¡¯ve made so many customers, but none of them are like you.¡± The beautician hurriedly removed herself. Jiang Youtian was unhappy. ¡°Did I say that it¡¯s the problem with your products? Are you exposing yourself here? We don¡¯t even know the reason, yet you¡¯re in a hurry to shirk responsibility. Is this your service attitude?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my service attitude? Can you be superior just because you¡¯re a celebrity? I¡¯m just analyzing the possibility of this for you. Why are you so mean and sarcastic?¡± ¡°Alright, Second Sister, you don¡¯t have to tell her too much.¡± Jiang Youyi frowned slightly and said to the beautician, ¡°Call your leader over.¡± Jiang Youtian had exquisite facial features and good skin. She was famous for being a beauty in the entertainment industry without makeup. However, now that her face was covered in large rashes, she still felt very itchy and wanted to scratch it. Before the beautician could call the leader over, Jiang Youyi started to feel her cheeks heat up and she had a rash. ¡°Damn, I¡¯m allergic too. What exactly did she give us?¡± Jiang Youyi endured the discomfort on her face and controlled her hand not to scratch her face. After another ten minutes, the manager finally arrived. It was a woman in her forties. She was wearing high heels and had red lips. It was obvious that she was not easy to deal with. ¡°What kind of product did you give us? How did my sister and 1 become like this?¡± Jiang Youtian suppressed her anger and questioned the manager. ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s like this. Our shop has been open for six years and there has never been an allergic reaction. I suggest you go to the hospital to check for allergens and see if there are any elements that caused your allergy.¡± The manager stood at the door without any guilt on her face. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. I¡¯ve never been allergic to food. Besides, I usually eat what I eat this morning. There must be something wrong with the products you¡¯re using. 1 want to take them away for testing.¡± Jiang Youtian directly put away the essence lotion that the beautician had made for her face just now, wanting to seek justice for herself. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Jiang. You only bought a single-care project, not a complete product. Moreover, our products are all patented, and the formula is confidential. No one is allowed to bring it out of the shop. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± The female manager apologized, but there was no apology in her tone. ¡°Are you kidding me? I¡¯m allergic to your products now. It¡¯s my right to request to be taken away for inspection.¡± Jiang Youtian was furious. She had never seen such a shameless shop. Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but take a step forward. ¡°We didn¡¯t use any skincare products before we went out, so we have reason to suspect that the allergy was caused by your family¡¯s products. If you¡¯re worried that we¡¯ll leak your product formula, you can totally send someone with us. But you said that we can¡¯t take the products away? May 1 ask which law stipulates that you can violate other people¡¯s legal rights?¡± ¡°This is our internal rule. We can¡¯t take the product away.¡± The female manager was unyielding. ¡°I insist on taking it away today. Let¡¯s see who dares to stop me.¡± Jiang Youtian stood up and was about to put on her clothes. At this moment, a shocking scene appeared. One of the beauticians, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly took a step forward and snatched the product from Jiang Youtian. Then, she packed the remaining products on the table and ran away.. Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Clearly Scamming Chapter 69: Clearly Scamming Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youtian and Jiang Youyi were dumbfounded¡­ What kind of operation was this? Open robbery? At this moment, the female manager walked to their side calmly. ¡°Your face must be allergic to food. We¡¯ve introduced a new foreign anti-allergy instrument here. Currently, there are no more than ten in the country. It can improve the rash on your face in half an hour. Do you want to experience it?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re waiting for us here? You guys are really scheming.¡± Jiang Youtian almost laughed out of anger. ¡°Miss Jiang, you¡¯ve misunderstood. 1 just want to help you solve the problem out of goodwill. If you don¡¯t need it, we won¡¯t force you. How many people are waiting in line to use this machine? 1 saw that the problem on your face was too serious, so I made an exception and let you cut the queue.¡± ¡°How much does it cost to make this advanced instrument?¡± Jiang Youyi asked deliberately. ¡°35,000 yuan once. If the two of you do it together, it will be 70,000 yuan. However, on account that Miss Jiang is now an honorable member of our shop, 1 can apply for the lowest discount from the leader. 50%. That¡¯s a total of 35,000 yuan for the two of you.¡± ¡°Then I have to thank you, right?¡± Jiang Youtian sneered. ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. It¡¯s my duty to help customers resolve their troubles.¡± The female manager¡¯s face was neither red nor pale. ¡°Are you sure that our allergies will recover after doing it once?¡± Jiang Youyi deliberately asked again. ¡°Yes, I can guarantee you two that 1 won¡¯t charge you a single cent if it doesn¡¯t work.¡± The corners of Jiang Youyi¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°You¡¯re so funny. Just now, you said firmly that we must be allergic to food. As far as I know, there¡¯s no equipment that can treat food allergies so far. Even the registration doctors at the hospital can only prescribe anti-allergy medicine and ointment. You¡¯re actually so confident that you can guarantee that we¡¯ll recover after one try. Where did you get the confidence to be better than the doctors at tertiary Grade A hospitals? Or is this all your doing?!¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, you can¡¯t accuse others just because your sister is a celebrity. Everything you say is just your wild guess. Can you produce evidence?¡± The female manager deliberately raised her voice. ¡°The evidence was just snatched away by your people,¡± Jiang Youtian said through gritted teeth. ¡°Who can prove it to you? It¡¯s all your side of the story.¡± ¡°Do you believe that I¡¯ll expose your shop? I¡¯ll see who still dares to come to this shady shop in the future.¡± Jiang Youtian took out her phone to contact the reporters she knew. ¡°Sure, 1 can remind you that if there¡¯s no evidence, it¡¯s called framing. When the time comes, we¡¯ll meet in court. Also, our boss is not an ordinary person. There¡¯s no one in Ocean City who doesn¡¯t give her some face. Don¡¯t regret it.¡± ¡°You guys are really shameless.¡± Jiang Youtian was so angry that she laughed. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to waste my breath on you. Either you use the instruments or leave quickly. Don¡¯t delay our business.¡± ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go first.¡± ¡°Why are we leaving? I must make them¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sister.¡± Jiang Youyi could tell that this shop was obviously a scam. This scamming program had probably been in place for a long time. Even if they were to argue now, they would not be able to come up with anything. Without another word, Jiang Youyi dragged Jiang Youtian out of the shop. Jiang Youtian was still angry and wanted to look for them. ¡°These people are too arrogant. I¡¯m going to call the police and make them compensate me for my face!¡± ¡°Sister, let¡¯s put the matter of calling the police aside for now. I can treat your face.¡± ¡°Are you serious? How are you going to treat it?¡± ¡°Come home with me.¡± Jiang Youyi did not explain much and pulled her sister back to the villa. Then, she turned around and went to her room to work. In the end, she brought out a bowl of white noodles. ¡°Put this on your face.¡± ¡°What is this?¡± Jiang Youtian was a little puzzled. ¡°Don¡¯t mess around and make my face worse.¡± ¡°Of course not. You can use it without worry.¡± Without waiting for Jiang Youtian to respond, Jiang Youyi applied it on herself. Seeing this, Jiang Youyi also started to apply it skeptically. The sisters were painted into two flower-faced cats. Ten minutes later, when the two of them washed the batter off their faces, they could no longer see the rashes on their faces. Jiang Youtian stood in front of the mirror and looked around in disbelief. She touched her face in shock. ¡°What did you use? Why is it so amazing?¡± She turned around and asked Jiang Youyi.. Chapter 70 - Chapter 70: Its Not Late for a Gentleman to Take Revenge Chapter 70: It¡¯s Not Late for a Gentleman to Take Revenge Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°The beauty salon¡¯s trickery is actually very inferior. I took a look at the things they gave us. They were mixed with some chemical impurities that can easily cause an allergic reaction. We only need to use plants to detoxify the symptoms. I used aloe vera and simple and gentle repair powder to make a simple facial mask. When applied to the face, it can reduce inflammation and detoxify the poison.¡± This was the first time Jiang Youtian had seen her sister speak so confidently. She was a little surprised. ¡°But it¡¯s poisonous if we use the aloe vera directly, right?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s why I¡¯ve already refined the rhubarb inside.¡± ¡°How do you know this?¡± ¡°I studied biology in university.¡± Jiang Youtian was shocked and realized that her sister had really grown up. She could already give her many surprises. From the moment she found out that Xu Yuning had cheated on her, she decisively broke off the engagement, to take the evidence to the Xu family to negotiate, to directly taking out the recording she had prepared to slap the other party in the face after being framed. What was even more unbelievable now was that she had not even entered the bedroom for half an hour before she refined aloe vera and made an antidote mask. Jiang Youtian had chosen the path of the entertainment industry back then because she was not interested in studying. Hence, this knowledge was very unfamiliar and novel to her. However, her third sister seemed to be very at ease. For some reason, Jiang Youtian felt that there was something different about her sister, but she could not pinpoint it. She just felt that it was a little strange. ¡°Xiao Yi, you saved me more than 30,000 yuan this time,¡± Jiang Youtian teased with a smile. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re biological sisters. Just give me 15,000 yuan. I¡¯m generous, right?¡± ¡°I think you don¡¯t want to live anymore. How dare you extort your sister? I¡¯m gonna beat you up.¡± Jiang Youtian reached out to hug her sister¡¯s shoulder, her eyes filled with smiles. ¡°You¡¯re really heartless. I saved your life, but you still want to beat me up. How disappointing.¡± Jiang Youtian joked with her with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not joking anymore. I must make this black-hearted beauty salon close down! I can¡¯t let them harm others anymore.¡± Jiang Youtian had never been the type to suffer losses. She definitely wouldn¡¯t let it go so easily after being schemed against. ¡°Sister, the background of this shop is indeed not that simple. Let¡¯s not be anxious. It¡¯s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.¡± ¡°How complicated can a lousy beauty salon be?¡± Jiang Youtian frowned slightly. Why did she feel that her sister knew more than she did recently? Jiang Youyi comforted her gently. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Your identity is special, and there are many things that are inconvenient for you to do. In case you¡¯re framed, just leave it to me.¡± If it was the Jiang Youyi who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun in the past, Jiang Youtian would definitely be worried. With her temper, she would usually take revenge. How could she care if she would be blamed? After debuting for so many years, she had fought with many people. Her fans were already used to it. However, the current Jiang Youyi was no longer the good-for-nothing she used to be. Jiang Youtian knew very well that if she had been the one to handle the previous dispute with the Xu family, it would definitely not have been as well handled as Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi was definitely not someone who could be trampled on, nor was she a brainless girl. Jiang Youtian stared at her for a long time before finally nodding. ¡°I¡¯m going out at noon. I¡¯ll take a plane back after I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°Alright, be careful.¡± The sisters put on some light makeup and left. Jiang Youyi¡¯s life after returning to the country was actually very simple and boring. She did not have many hobbies and spent most of her time at home as a salted fish. Occasionally, she would go out for a swim and play badminton on a whim. Then, she went out with her best friends to eat her favorite snacks. Other than her best friend, Zhong Xiaohui, she had a good relationship with her cousin, Chen Hao, in Ocean City. On this day, she went straight to her cousin¡¯s company, the technology building. Chen Hao was pleasantly surprised to see her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance that you were coming here?¡± Chen Hao was Jiang Youyi¡¯s grandmother¡¯s relative. They weren¡¯t very close, but the two families had always been very close and often interacted. Chen Hao had the standard appearance of a Southern girl. She was gentle and pleasant. Although her appearance was not considered exquisite, she was definitely the type of girl from a humble family. She made people feel very comfortable at a glance. ¡°I¡¯m just bored, so I wandered here.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you just say that you came here to see me?¡± ¡°How hypocritical would that be? I don¡¯t want to lie.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡± Chen Hao glanced at the time on her watch. It was time for lunch. It had been a long time since they last met. She wanted to treat her cousin to a good meal.. Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Meeting Xu Yuning Chapter 71: Meeting Xu Yuning Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t go through so much trouble. Just have a bite in your canteen.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that too perfunctory?¡± ¡°I like to eat in the cafeteria. It¡¯s not perfunctory.¡± Chen Hao was a high-level designer in the top 100 companies in the world and was famous in the country. Driving a Panamera with an annual salary of more than a million yuan and living in a high-end neighborhood, she was definitely a career woman. She was older than Jiang Youtian and was already over 30 years old. Her only regret was that she did not have a boyfriend. Hence, in terms of dressing, she was much more mature than Jiang Youyi. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to the canteen.¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t dissuade her, so she could only bring her cousin to the staff canteen. To their surprise, they met Xu Yuning after turning a corner. The Xu family had a collaboration project with the company where Chen Hao worked, and it had already progressed to a critical point. Now that Xu Yuning had just been discharged from the hospital, he started working non-stop. Chen Hao¡¯s immediate superior, Zhang Chunjiu, and CEO Zhang, walked with him. Coincidentally, the four of them bumped into each other at the elevator. Xu Yuning stared at Jiang Youyi with a complicated gaze. Jiang Youyi was dressed very simply today. She was wearing a gray cashmere coat that reached her knees. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Even without makeup, her face was full of collagen. A 23-year-old girl was at the age of flowers. No matter how one looked at her, she was good-looking. ¡°Youyi¡­¡± Xu Yuning greeted her. Jiang Youyi nodded slightly in response. ¡°CEO Zhang, CEO Xu.¡± Chen Hao greeted them awkwardly. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m bringing my sister to try the staff food in the canteen.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Shall we go together?¡± President Zhang was only in his thirties and had a good relationship with Xu Yuning in private. Naturally, he knew about his relationship with Jiang Youyi and wanted to do him a favor. Xu Yuning did not say anything, but his burning gaze betrayed him. He really wanted to go with Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi and Chen Hao were too embarrassed to refuse, so they could only travel with them. After all, with a business partner around, President Zhang specially arranged a private room far away from the crowd. To be honest, if not for the fact that she was afraid of affecting her cousin¡¯s work, Jiang Youyi would not even look at Xu Yuning, let alone sit here with him. When Jiang Youyi stood at the window and ordered, Xu Yuning hurriedly followed. ¡°Youyi, I apologize on behalf of my mother. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in the past,¡± Jiang Youyi replied indifferently. ¡°I really didn¡¯t know beforehand. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have let her¡­¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Forget it. You probably won¡¯t believe me anymore, right?¡± ¡°I believe you.¡± ¡°Do you really believe me?¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°If that¡¯s what you want to hear, I can tell you that 1 believe you. However, there¡¯s no point in believing you, right? Stop dwelling on these things and live your own life,¡± Jiang Youyi said calmly. ¡°I know, but 1 really want to apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Her life has been smooth-sailing all these years. She hasn¡¯t suffered much and has been staying at home. Her thoughts are rather old-fashioned, so¡­ she¡¯s impulsive.¡± ¡°Like 1 said, let bygones be bygones. After all, I¡¯ve already clarified the truth. If you have the time to apologize to me here, why don¡¯t you comfort your mother? She should be feeling worse than me now.¡± Jiang Youyi was speaking from the bottom of her heart. Although she had also been exposed online, ever since the recording was released, public opinion had reversed and the voices scolding her had almost completely disappeared. Now, the netizens had basically gathered under the post to scold Xu Yuning¡¯s mother, saying that she was a ruthless old witch. Of course, there were even worse words. ¡°Youyi, I was hospitalized some time ago.¡± Xu Yuning was usually not a very fragile person, but strangely, he just wanted to show weakness in front of Jiang Youyi. It did not matter if he wanted her to feel sorry for him or pity him. He just wanted to see the emotion in her eyes other than indifference and aloofness, even if it was just for a moment. ¡°Oh, I wish you good health in the future,¡± Jiang Youyi replied perfunctorily. ¡°I thought you¡¯d come to see me.¡± ¡°Why do you think so? There¡¯s nothing between us anymore. I thought you would have some self-awareness.¡± Jiang Youyi looked at him in confusion. She was not pretending. She really did not understand Xu Yuning¡¯s train of thought. Putting aside the fact that everyone knew about their relationship, even if it was an ex-boyfriend who had broken up peacefully, Jiang Youyi would not have any contact with him again. This was being responsible for her feelings and for herself.. Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Can You Stop Disgusting Me? Chapter 72: Can You Stop Disgusting Me? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I thought you would at least take into account our five years of relationship¡­¡± Xu Yuning was a little hurt and his tone was very low. ¡°I have to remind you about this. It¡¯s a one-year relationship. We¡¯re only been considered acquaintances in the past four years.¡± Jiang Youyi frowned unconsciously. She no longer wanted to waste time with him and planned to turn around and leave. However, Xu Yuning went forward to stop her and probed, ¡°So, Youyi, in the past five years, you¡¯ve often gone out alone and never invited me along. Is it because there¡¯s someone else accompanying you?¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned when she heard this. What was going on? Why did they suddenly talk about this? When they were together, he had never asked this question. She did not expect that now that the two of them had parted ways, he would be curious. This person was really strange. Jiang Youyi subconsciously sneered. ¡°Why are you laughing?¡± ¡°Nothing. It doesn¡¯t matter to me what kind of person 1 am in your heart. I have no obligation to explain this to you. If you suspect me, then feel free to doubt me. Until now, I don¡¯t care what you think of me or what your family thinks of me. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Youyi, you¡¯ve misunderstood. 1 didn¡¯t mean to question you¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Whatever you mean. I¡¯m just reminding you, Xu Yuning, that we¡¯ve broken up. Please don¡¯t disturb my life in the future. When we were together, 1 thought that I definitely didn¡¯t owe you anything. Now that we¡¯re separated, please be like a man and stop being a pussy. It¡¯s really boring.¡± With that, Jiang Youyi left without giving him time to react. Xu Yuning still refused to give up and blocked her way. He asked indignantly, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one last question. Have you loved me in the past five years? If you really love me, why are you so heartless? You won¡¯t even give me a chance to make it up to you.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Then what should I do to not be heartless? Serve your mistress during her confinement period and be a stepmother to your illegitimate son?¡± Xu Yuning was stunned and did not know what to say. ¡°Xu Yuning, do you think that you¡¯re a big-hearted person who¡¯s especially affectionate? On one hand, you¡¯re affectionate to me, and on the other hand, you¡¯re lying beside another woman and sweating profusely. You even said that you¡¯ve loved me for five years. Why didn¡¯t you think about the fact that you loved me when you slept with others? Don¡¯t disgust me, okay? Let me give you a piece of advice. A rotten cabbage is better than a man who doesn¡¯t love himself. Excuse me, I need to get my food.¡± With that, Jiang Youyi reached out and pushed Xu Yuning to the side, walking unhurriedly to the private room. In the end, Xu Yuning could not pull his face down and forced himself to eat with Jiang Youyi. He did have feelings for Jiang Youyi, but he didn¡¯t want to be mocked by her every time. Jiang Youyi¡¯s words made it clear that she had no feelings for him. He was an upright man and cared about his face. Even if CEO Zhang had the intention to matchmake them, Xu Yuning did not want to stay any longer. He put down his plate and left politely. Seeing him leave, President Zhang also left the private room with him. Only the two sisters were left. Chen Hao could not help but whisper, ¡°What kind of ill-fated relationship do you have with him? You actually met him in our company.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because 1 didn¡¯t look at the almanac today.¡± ¡°But 1 think Xu Yuning definitely hasn¡¯t let go of you. You don¡¯t even know how he looks at you.¡± Chen Hao and Jiang Youyi were usually very close, so she naturally witnessed Xu Yuning¡¯s care and admiration for her in the past five years. The way Xu Yuning looked at Jiang Youyi today made it clear that he could not let go. Chen Hao had once firmly believed that the two of them would grow old together. Unexpectedly, this shameless Xu Yuning actually cheated in the end. ¡°Don¡¯t scare me. He¡¯d better stay away from me in the future. I thank him.¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite open-minded. You let it go just like that.¡± ¡°What else can 1 do? Cry and hug his thigh and ask him to choose between me and the mistress? That¡¯s too degrading. Those who can be snatched away by others are all trash. There¡¯s no need to stay.¡± ¡°Good job, as expected of my sister.¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up. ¡°I was worried that you would turn back because of our relationship over the years. It seems that I was overthinking.¡± Chen Hao¡¯s family background was similar to Jiang Youyi¡¯s family. Although it was not a top-notch family, they did not have to worry about food and clothing. As long as they did not waste money, the family¡¯s money was enough for them to live happily for the rest of their lives. It wasn¡¯t like she had to rely on her rich husband to cross ranks. There was no need for her to suffer so much.. Chapter 73 - Chapter 73:1 Heard You Met Your Ex-Boyfriend Chapter 73:1 Heard You Met Your Ex-Boyfriend Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She was so young and not even 30 years old, yet she said that she did not believe in love. What nonsense. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because I¡¯ve seen too much love in the entertainment industry that I¡¯m numb to it.¡± ¡°If you think the entertainment industry is chaotic, you can look for other industries.¡± ¡°Waiter, bill please.¡± Jiang Youtian waved at the waiter in the distance. ¡°You¡¯re full after eating so little?¡± Lin Feng¡¯s face was full of surprise. ¡°I¡¯m full. I want to ask you something else.¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°You have such a good relationship with Lu Yunxiao. Please tell me the truth. What exactly does Lu Yunxiao think of my sister? I really don¡¯t understand the two of them. My sister refuses to say anything.¡± ¡°Even your sister won¡¯t tell you. Why do you think I will tell you the truth?¡± Lin Feng asked with a smile. ¡°Because you like me.¡± Lin Feng:¡±¡­¡± He was so frightened by Jiang Youtian¡¯s straightforwardness that he stood rooted to the ground. He had yet to say anything, but Jiang Youtian had already exposed this layer of window paper. He was so embarrassed that he didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°So, what exactly is Lu Yunxiao thinking? Is he targeting my sister or the entire Jiang Family?¡± Jiang Youtian was very worried that Lu Yunxiao would do something to them. The Jiang Family could not afford it. In order to avoid future tragedies, she had always been against Jiang Youyi getting involved with Lu Yunxiao, but that girl refused to listen to her. ¡°Actually, I can¡¯t figure out his temper either, but my intuition tells me that Brother Lu is definitely interested in your sister. I¡¯ve known him for so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen him so interested in any woman. Your sister was an accident. Perhaps he¡¯s really¡­¡± ¡°Thank you, I understand. Waiter, I¡¯ll swipe my card.¡± Jiang Youtian handed over the black gold card in her hand. The waiter nodded slightly and said respectfully, ¡°Miss Jiang, President Lin has already paid in advance.¡± Jiang Youtian glanced at Lin Feng and put away the black gold card in her hand. ¡°Thank you for treating me to a meal.¡± ¡°If you want to thank me, why don¡¯t you treat me to a meal the next time you return to Ocean City?¡± In order to create a chance for him to interact with Jiang Youtian, Lin Feng could only be shameless. ¡°How old are you?¡± Jiang Youtian suddenly asked. ¡°26¡­ What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Feng answered in a daze. ¡°I¡¯m a year older than you. I¡¯m 27 years old. I don¡¯t like boys younger than me.¡± With that, Jiang Youtian walked out. Lin Feng followed her and explained impatiently, ¡°But I¡¯m only a year younger than you. Isn¡¯t it said on the Internet that when a woman is older, she hugs a golden rooster?¡± Jiang Youtian did not stop walking and pretended not to hear him. *** At seven o¡¯clock in the evening, Jiang Youyi was wandering freely in King¡¯s Canyon. Her phone suddenly vibrated. There was a message from an anti-tracking number. There was only one sentence¡ªYouyi, many people in Ocean City have been secretly investigating your eight years overseas and the five years after you returned to the country recently. Jiang Youyi glanced at it indifferently, not caring at all. The next second, her phone rang. She thought it was the person from before. She picked it up and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them. If they want to investigate, investigate. Let them be.¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± A man¡¯s deep voice came from the phone. ¡°Uh, I didn¡¯t look at the caller ID. I thought it was someone I knew.¡± She quickly realized that it was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s voice. ¡°Who¡¯s investigating you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Probably.¡± Jiang Youyi pretended not to know. ¡°I have a good idea.¡± ¡°What way?¡± Jiang Youyi controlled the game character to stop at the spring. She thought that she had heard wrongly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you wheedle with me? I can help you ferret out the people who are investigating you behind your back.¡± Jiang Youyi chuckled. ¡°I have a good idea too. Do you want to hear it?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s in trouble, not me.¡± President Lu¡¯s tone was filled with disdain. He still needed help? What a joke. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a mirror. Take a good look at yourself. See who gave you the courage to come to me to find your presence.¡± Lu Yunxiao:¡±¡­¡± ¡°If you haven¡¯t lost your memory, you should still remember how you shamelessly boasted to the dignitaries of Ocean City at the wedding that you liked me, right?¡± ¡°I was just high. Which law says you have to be responsible for spouting nonsense?¡± Jiang Youyi shamelessly denied. ¡°Killing the donkey after the millstone has been removed?¡± ¡°Look at you, how can you call yourself a donkey?¡± ¡°After using me, you threw me aside and ignored me,¡± Lu Yunxiao mocked. ¡°I was too angry at that time. I couldn¡¯t control my mouth and started spouting nonsense. I didn¡¯t expect you to take it seriously.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, you have guts.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not bad yourself.¡± ¡°I heard that you met your ex-boyfriend today?¡± A certain rich man changed the topic.. Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Marriage on the Agenda Chapter 74: Marriage on the Agenda Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°The news is indeed well-informed.¡± Actually, with Lu Yunxiao¡¯s status in Ocean City, it was not strange for him to know everything. She was not narcissistic enough to think that he paid special attention to her. ¡°Is the old pasture fragrant?¡± Why did she feel that there was something wrong with this person¡¯s tone? ¡°I don¡¯t know if the old pasture smells good or not, but someone¡¯s strange appearance is quite interesting.¡± ¡°Heh¡­¡± He was amused by Jiang Youyi. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up first. I¡¯m busy.¡± Before the other party could respond, Jiang Youyi hung up decisively. The moment the call ended, she suddenly remembered a ¡®dream¡¯ that she had never mentioned to anyone. Before she was reborn, she could not tell if it was a dream or if it was real. She still remembered that when she found out that Xu Yuning had gotten another woman pregnant, her mood was indeed terrible. It was not that she had deep feelings for Xu Yuning, but she was disgusted by his actions. The thought of him sweet-talking her and having a child with Zhang Meng made her feel dirty. She remembered that one night, it was raining and she ran out on her own. Coincidentally, she bumped into Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car. The car had clearly driven for a distance, but the person in the car still asked the driver to turn around and give her an umbrella. At that time, it was raining heavily and it was late at night. Someone suddenly descended from the sky and gave Jiang Youyi an umbrella. This was almost her life-saving straw. However, she didn¡¯t see Lu Yunxiao in person at that time. She only saw the Maybach¡¯s special license plate number. After that, her father was so angry that he was hospitalized. She hurriedly drove to the hospital. In her panic, she bumped into someone on the expressway. Coincidentally, it was still Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car. This time, she met the legendary unsmiling CEO Lu. Surprisingly, the person¡¯s tone was calm. ¡°If you have something urgent, leave first. We¡¯ll deal with these matters later.¡± After that, before she could deal with it, she was reborn. The matter of the accident could only be left unsettled. However, these two incidents coincidentally caused her to interact with that person. Hence, when she broke off the engagement at the wedding venue, she instinctively said Lu Yunxiao¡¯s name. Other than the fact that Lu Yunxiao¡¯s name was enough to crush the Xu family in Ocean City, perhaps it was also because this person had helped her during her two most embarrassing times. Only Jiang Youyi knew about this. She had never told anyone. *** It was late at night, at the Lu Family Head¡¯s residence. Lu Yunxiao parked the car in the courtyard. Du Meihong was already waiting eagerly at the door. She even brought him a bowl of fresh shrimp porridge that the helper had just made. ¡°Your father has a drinking party tonight. His stomach feels uncomfortable after drinking, so 1 asked the kitchen to make seafood porridge. When 1 heard that you were back, 1 specially made an extra serving. Try it. Yunxiao.¡± Lu Yunxiao nodded slightly in response. He had always been indifferent to Du Meihong. No matter how good a woman tried to be to him, he rarely responded. In the past, his father had scolded him a few times because of his cold attitude towards Du Meihong. However, he could not dissuade him in the end and could only give up. Lu Guo¡¯an was wearing black silk pajamas and sitting in the living room, watching the evening news. ¡°Dad.¡± ¡°Sit down first.¡± Lu Yunxiao took off his coat and sat on the sofa beside him. ¡°1 had dinner with your Uncle Kang today. At the dining table, he showed off his eldest granddaughter recently.¡± Lu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and remained silent. ¡°Your marriage with Bai Bing can¡¯t be delayed any longer.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was a man of his word. He did not even ask for his son¡¯s opinion before directly arranging the marriage. Du Meihong listened attentively at the side, afraid that she would miss some important news. ¡°I never said that I wanted to marry Bai Bing.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys have a good chat when that child and her parents came to our house for dinner last time? Could it be that 1 misunderstood?¡± ¡°Not bad. But 1 never said I wanted to marry her.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re not satisfied with the marriage partner I chose for you, do you have a suitable candidate yourself?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an had already started arranging for his son to get married three years ago. In the past three years, he had been screening and observing the top families in Ocean City, but none of them were too suitable. He had even considered the neighboring city, but in the end, he was not too satisfied. Lu Yunxiao was his only child. He had to be extremely careful about getting married. If he did not choose a daughter-in-law with a suitable family background, it would mean that the business empire that Lu Guo¡¯an had worked hard to create over the years would be diluted and divided by others. Although Bai Bing¡¯s family background was average, fortunately, she was magnanimous and capable.. Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Do I Need You to Teach Me How to Speak? Chapter 75: Do I Need You to Teach Me How to Speak? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Most importantly, Lu Guo¡¯an felt that she was obedient and sensible. As for why Lu Guo¡¯an thought so, it was all because of Du Meihong¡¯s words over the past few years. Although Du Meihong couldn¡¯t say much in front of Lu Yunxiao, she still had some status in front of her husband. Bai Bing had sent many things to the Lu family over the years. Du Meihong accepted all kinds of luxury cosmetics. The two of them even often ate and drank tea. They had always been on good terms. Therefore, Du Meihong often talked about Bai Bing¡¯s various merits in front of the old man. The old man felt that this girl was sensible, obedient, and easy to manipulate. In the old man¡¯s world, obedience was the most important characteristic of being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Women didn¡¯t need to be smart and quick-witted. They just had to follow the rules. Du Meihong¡¯s plan was also very obvious. Lu Yunxiao would get married sooner or later. Instead of choosing a woman she didn¡¯t know, it was better to introduce someone she knew to him. If Bai Bing married into the Lu family, her status as a mother-in-law would be even more stable. If there was someone who could cause trouble, who knew how chaotic it would be in the future? Lu Guo¡¯an was still in his prime now, but what about in another ten or twenty years? In the future, if Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s health was not good, Lu Yunxiao would be the head of the family. At that time, it would be a problem if the Lu family still had a place for her. After all, she and Lu Guo¡¯an did not have their own children. Even if they split the assets, they would not get much. When she married the old man back then, Lu Yunxiao had been careful and forced her to sign the prenuptial agreement. In order to express her love for him in front of Lu Guo¡¯an and prove that she was not here for money, she knew that this was a trap Lu Yunxiao had dug for her, but she could only bite the bullet and jump in. And this agreement was like a knife hanging over her head, making her sleepless day and night. Therefore, she needed a woman who listened to her and had a good relationship with her to enter the Lu family. Without a doubt, Bai Bing was the best candidate. ¡°Jiang Youyi is not bad.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s tone was frivolous, as if he was joking. ¡°Jiang Youyi? Who is that?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an did not react for a moment. Who was this woman? ¡°Guo¡¯an, Yunxiao is talking about the Jiang family¡¯s third daughter, the little girl who was photographed by the reporters on the trending searches with Yunxiao,¡± Du Meihong reminded him softly. ¡°Nonsense! That woman definitely won¡¯t do!¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was furious. In Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s eyes, a small family like the Jiang Family was not qualified to become in-laws with them at all. If his son married a child from such an ordinary family, where would he put his face? It was one thing for her family to only have one department store to support their livelihood, but that girl herself did not have any good points. It was mainly because the matter of her breaking off the engagement with the Xu family¡¯s kid had caused an uproar in Ocean City. Almost everyone in the upper-class circle knew about it. What right did such a woman have to enter their Lu family? ¡°I¡¯ll choose my own marriage.¡± Although Lu Yunxiao¡¯s tone was not firm, it was very firm. Du Meihong saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. That girl has some good points. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been chosen by the Xu family. Now that she has broken off her engagement with that person, she¡¯s also single. Yunxiao, if you really like her, choose a good day to bring her home for a meal. At least let your father meet her before we can talk about marriage, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to bring those messy people home. I won¡¯t see them. Which part of Bai Bing isn¡¯t better than this Jiang Youyi you chose yourself? Only she can barely be worthy of our Lu family. Who does the Jiang family think they are? If you insist on doing this¡­ then I won¡¯t care about you, but you¡¯re not allowed to bring her home. 1 don¡¯t want to see her.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an had always been a hot-tempered person. After saying this, he turned around and went upstairs. ¡°Guo¡¯an, drink the porridge before you leave.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drinking anymore,¡± the old man said. Naturally, it meant that the conversation between the father and son today had completely collapsed. ¡°Yunxiao, I¡¯ll go up and see your father. You can eat first.¡± After saying this, Du Meihong jogged upstairs. Lu Yunxiao silently picked up his coat and walked out without saying anything. *** On the other side, Mrs. Xu found her son, Xu Yuning¡¯s residence outside. It was Zhang Meng who opened the door for her. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t mention Jiang Youyi in front of Yuning later. He¡¯s still angry,¡± Zhang Meng advised gently. ¡°Who do you think you are? Is there a need for you to teach me how to talk to my son?¡± Mrs. Xu scolded angrily. Then, she pushed Zhang Meng aside and entered the door.. Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Come Home With Mom Chapter 76: Come Home With Mom Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations This was the apartment that Xu Yuning had prepared for Zhang Meng previously. The reason why he hid here was to avoid his mother. When Mrs. Xu entered, Xu Yuning was sitting on the carpet and drinking alone. There were beer bottles scattered everywhere on the ground and a few side dishes on the table. It was not difficult to tell that he looked terrible. ¡°Yuning, you¡¯ve just recovered. I low can you drink?¡± Seeing that his mother had still come looking for him, Xu Yuning did not say anything and only lowered his eyes. He had already guessed it, but he felt very annoyed. He had never felt so annoyed before. ¡°Yuning, are you angry with Mom now because of a woman who has nothing to do with you? Didn¡¯t Mom do all this for you? If I wasn¡¯t afraid that that woman would spout nonsense outside¡­¡± This sentence ignited Xu Yuning. He smashed the wine bottle into pieces and roared with his eyes wide open, ¡°For my own good? Look at what you did. Is it not embarrassing enough!¡± ¡°I just can¡¯t stand how she treats you. I didn¡¯t expect her to be so scheming and even secretly record it. Which normal person would record it at that time? Unless she had already thought of keeping the recording to take revenge on you. Don¡¯t you think such a woman is terrifying?¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re the scary one! From the beginning to the end, Youyi didn¡¯t do anything to let me down. I was the one who let her down. Not only did she return all the betrothal gifts, but she never said a word against me in front of outsiders. What about you? You actually have the cheek to go on the show. Don¡¯t you think your son is embarrassing enough? Do you know how the people outside are scolding me now?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t 1 just being kind? I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll be bullied. Is that wrong?¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m already an adult. I¡¯m not a child who needs my parents¡¯ help to deal with everything. Can you not decide everything for me based on your own wishes? My father is your husband, so he gives in to you and indulges you in every aspect. But I have to have my own life too. I can¡¯t live under your wings forever and be a useless person, right? Do you want a son like this?¡± Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment. ¡°Alright, I admit that I was rash in this matter. But Jiang Youyi has also taken revenge. Now, the netizens are all scolding me. Isn¡¯t this all her doing?¡± Xu Yuning frowned. ¡°So you still don¡¯t think you¡¯re in the wrong? If you hadn¡¯t been too ruthless, would things have ended up like this?¡± ¡°Are you my son or not? Why are you siding with an outsider after such a big thing happened? What did that vixen do to you?¡± Mrs. Xu was furious. Now, when she heard the words Jiang Youyi, her head hurt. ¡°Yuning.¡± Zhang Meng squatted down and tugged at Xu Yuning¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Stop talking. It¡¯s not easy for Auntie either. She¡¯s already so old, but she still has to be scolded by those brainless netizens. She¡¯s really under a lot of pressure. Don¡¯t be angry with her. Only you can comfort her now.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s tone was gentle and understanding. Xu Yuning did not respond, but his gradually relaxed brows showed that he had indeed listened to these words. Mrs. Xu sized up Zhang Meng without batting an eyelid. It seemed that she had underestimated her in the past. She was still quite capable. ¡°Yuning, come home with Mom. Your father has been in a terrible fix because of you recently. Your sister is also very worried about you. It¡¯s all in the past. Mom promises you that I won¡¯t make decisions for you in the future, okay?¡± Seeing that Xu Yuning did not say anything for a long time, Mrs. Xu glanced at Zhang Meng. Her meaning was obvious. She wanted her to help persuade her. Zhang Meng sat on the ground and gently held Xu Yuning¡¯s hand. ¡°Yuning, ever since you fell sick, the chairman has been the only one working in the company. He has been handling the workload of the two of you alone. He must be exhausted after so many days. Go home and see him. There¡¯s no overnight feud between the family. Moreover, even if Madam did something wrong on impulse this time, the chairman would not know.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s words were very skillful and could always make people feel comfortable. ¡°How¡¯s my dad recently?¡± Xu Yuning finally spoke. Mrs. Xu shed two drops of tears at the right time. ¡°He¡¯s fine. He was just worried about you.¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t cry anymore. Let this matter pass.¡± ¡°Then come home with me, okay?¡± In Mrs. Xu¡¯s eyes, no matter how old the child was, he was her favorite. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go back and see Dad.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s words indeed made him feel guilty towards his family. During the period when he was sick, not only was his family afraid, but his biological father also had to help him deal with the company¡¯s matters.. Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Invitation Chapter 77: Invitation Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She was not young anymore. It was indeed not easy. ¡°Auntie, please wait with Yuning first. I¡¯ll help him pack his luggage.¡± Zhang Meng stood up and turned to go to the bedroom. ¡°No need.¡± Xu Yuning was not in the mood to pack his luggage and said casually. However, it was not easy to persuade Xu Yuning to go home. Mrs. Xu looked at Zhang Meng with a much gentler gaze. It was only when Xu Yuning and Mrs. Xu walked out of the apartment that Zhang Meng slowly put away the docile expression on her face and put on a cold expression. On the way back, the mother and son sat in the backseat of the Lamborghini. ¡°Yuning, you¡¯re not married yet. I won¡¯t interfere too much with who you want to be with. But you should know very well that a woman like Zhang Meng can¡¯t marry into our family. I¡¯ve helped you choose a few good girls recently. Take the time to meet them.¡± Then, A4rs. Xu took out a few photos from her custom-made bag and handed them to Xu Yuning. Xu Yuning took it with a cold expression. Mrs. Xu excitedly introduced them to him. ¡°This is the daughter of Director Huang, who is working with our corporation. I think her name is Huang Shuyi. She looks dignified and generous. Most importantly, she¡¯s Director Huang¡¯s only child. If the two of you really get together, won¡¯t you be the only one who can use Director Huang¡¯s resources and assets in the future?¡± Xu Yuning did not reply and flipped to the next photo. ¡°This girl¡¯s family background is not bad either. It¡¯s comparable to our family, right? Her grandfathers¡¯ families both started out in business. She has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since she was young. Her only flaw is that she has a younger brother. However, her family favors girls over boys and treats her even better than that boy. When the two of you get married in the future, your father-in-law¡¯s family will definitely help you a lot at work. ¡°The last one is the one I¡¯m most satisfied with. She¡¯s the youngest daughter of Director Zhang of the Financial Department, Zhang Kehui. She also has an older brother who is in the scientific research field and is not at home all year round. Director Zhang¡¯s wife has a good relationship with me. Their family is very upright. Moreover, Director Zhang¡¯s career is flourishing. He¡¯s also a popular person in front of Secretary Li.¡± ¡°None of them are as beautiful as Jiang Youyi.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s mind was filled with Jiang Youyi¡¯s image. He did not look at any of the people in the photos carefully. Mrs. Xu was furious and was about to flare up. She remembered that before she left the apartment, Zhang Meng had reminded her in a low voice not to quarrel with him and not to mention Jiang Youyi. Hence, she learned her lesson this time and changed the topic. ¡°I heard that Secretary Li¡¯s daughter is going to celebrate her 18th birthday next week. She will definitely invite the socialites and rich young masters of Ocean City to her birthday banquet. There will be many people around your age at the ball. When the time comes, you can see for yourself. You can tell me and your father who you like.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go.¡± ¡°You have to go even if you don¡¯t want to. Your sister is going without a male companion. How can you not accompany her?¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s face was filled with frustration, and Mrs. Xu was too embarrassed to continue. The dramatic thing was that Jiang Youyi also received an invitation from Secretary Li¡¯s wife. A black card, mysterious and low-key. On it was written in elegant handwriting: ¡°I sincerely invite Miss Jiang Youyi to participate in the 13th of this month¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony for my youngest daughter, Li Tianxin, at the Rona Manor.¡± The invitation letter in Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand was brought back by her mother. Her mother would play mahjong and yoga with those rich ladies every day. So she brought it back for Jiang Youyi today. ¡°I¡¯ve never interacted with Li Tianxin before. Why did they invite me?¡± Jiang Youyi was very puzzled. ¡°An invitation like this must have been sent out in a group. Most of the children of the rich and powerful families in Ocean City should have received it. If you don¡¯t want to go, you can choose not to go,¡± Mrs. Jiang comforted her. ¡°What about Second Sister? Is she going?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. ¡°Your second sister can¡¯t go. She¡¯s going overseas to walk the red carpet recently.¡± ¡°What about Big Brother and Sister-in-law?¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t receive any invitations. It seems that the people invited to this cocktail party are all unmarried men and women. In that case, you can walk around. There are many young people at the ball. What if you meet someone you like?¡± ¡°Forget it. 1 don¡¯t like to go to crowded places.¡± Jiang Youyi placed the invitation on the coffee table and didn¡¯t think too much about it. *** At night, her good friend Zhong Xiaohui suddenly sent her a message. Zhong Xiaohui said, ¡°Youyi, you¡¯re so awesome. You even got Miss Li¡¯s invitation.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Huh? How did you know?¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°Didn¡¯t you check Weibo today?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I¡¯m scared of Weibo now. I don¡¯t usually swipe it..¡± Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: This Matter Is Very Strange Chapter 78: This Matter Is Very Strange Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°The invitation list for Li Tianxin¡¯s birthday banquet has been announced. It¡¯s now firmly at the top of the trending searches.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Her father is in politics. Why is a young lady¡¯s birthday party so high-profile?¡± Zhong Xiaohui said, ¡°But her mother¡¯s family has been in business for generations. She likes to be high-profile.¡± Jiang Youyi asked, ¡°What did you mean by the invitation list just now?¡± Zhong Xiaohui sent her a link to Weibo. Sure enough, Jiang Youyi saw her name on the list. The list said that the Li family had invited a total of 60 people to this birthday banquet, 30 men and 30 women. Jiang Youyi¡¯s name was on the first page, and it was very eye-catching. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Could there be someone else called Jiang Youyi in Ocean City?¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°You¡¯re probably not the only one called Jiang Youyi, but you¡¯re the only one who¡¯s qualified to attend Miss Li¡¯s birthday party, Third Miss Jiang.¡± Jiang Youyi fell silent. She glanced at the name list again and actually saw Bai Bing¡¯s name in the first row. The name Bai Bing sounded familiar to her. Although she had never met this woman before, she was a little curious about this person. The program that Mrs. Xu participated in was hosted by Bai Bing. After the incident, she had a vague feeling that this matter was definitely not Mrs. Xu¡¯s doing alone. However, she was also very puzzled. She had never seen Miss Bai before. Could it be that she had a grudge against the entire Jiang family? Otherwise, why would she join forces with Mrs. Xu to defame her? Jiang Youyi would never believe that it was just a coincidence. She had never believed in coincidences. Jiang Youyi originally planned to pretend not to see this invitation and not attend the banquet. However, now that the invitation list had been announced, she had no choice but to go. If the media found out that she didn¡¯t go, they would make a big fuss. At that time, she would offend the wife of the City Secretary, the first lady of Ocean City. Zhong Xiaohui asked, ¡°Have you seen the list of boys?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°No, why?¡± Zhong Xiaohui said, ¡°They even invited Xu Yuning and Lu Yunxiao. This banquet is so awesome. Why didn¡¯t they invite me?¡± Zhong Xiaohui¡¯s family background wasn¡¯t worse than the Jiang family¡¯s. It was indeed strange that Jiang Youyi was invited and she wasn¡¯t. Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Our family isn¡¯t considered rich in Ocean City. Moreover, I¡¯m not Second Sister. It¡¯s quite strange to invite me.¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°No, no, no. I completely understand why they invited you. Recently, you¡¯ve been on the trending searches on Weibo much more frequently than your second sister. Moreover, the person who¡¯s trending searches with you is the richest man in Ocean City, Lu Yunxiao!¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m upset at the mention of him. It¡¯s fine if this trending topic doesn¡¯t appear.¡± Zhong Xiaohui: ¡°In that case, you have to go to this banquet, right?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°That¡¯s right. 1 have to go.¡± After chatting with Zhong Xiaohui, Jiang Youyi started to think about something else. Even a woman¡¯s unique sixth sense told her that this banquet seemed to have been specially prepared for her. Of course, thinking like this might be a little self-righteous, but this matter was really a little abnormal. First of all, with the Jiang family¡¯s status in Ocean City, Jiang Youyi was not qualified to attend the birthday banquet of the daughter of the Communist Party Secretary. If she could be invited as Xu Yuning¡¯s fiancee in the past, it would be understandable. However, everyone in Ocean City knew that the two of them had broken off the engagement. Secondly, Jiang Youyi wanted to pretend that she didn¡¯t see the invitation. After all, they had invited so many people. Even if she didn¡¯t go, she wouldn¡¯t be discovered. Yet before night fell, someone announced the invitation list online. Her name was still on the first page. Now, everyone in Ocean City had probably seen these 60 names, which made her very passive. She was a little forced. After all, no one wanted to offend Mrs. Li for no reason. Also, her mother said that the Li family had also invited her second sister, but her name was not on the invitation list. If the Li family had contacted her second sister in advance and asked her if she could participate, and after knowing that she was going to walk the red carpet and could not come back, so they removed her second sister¡¯s name from the invitation list, why did they not call her? Hence, Jiang Youyi directly rejected this possibility. In the end, Bai Bing¡¯s name in the first row could not be more obvious. Previously, it had also been confirmed that Mrs. Xu¡¯s appearance on her interview program was not a coincidence. Although Jiang Youyi really could not remember how she or the Jiang family had offended this person, she had appeared in front of her several times. This matter was very strange.. Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Its Easy to Dodge an Open Spear, Its Hard to Guard Against a Dark Arrow Chapter 79: It¡¯s Easy to Dodge an Open Spear, It¡¯s Hard to Guard Against a Dark Arrow Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi took out her phone and typed a string of English words to send to an unknown number. In less than five minutes, the other party replied. It was a document. Jiang Youyi looked at it carefully and came to a realization. She smiled. ¡°No wonder. So that¡¯s why.¡± In this folder, there was a detailed record of how Bai Bing had pursued Lu Yunxiao all these years. Even before Lu Yunxiao¡¯s biological mother passed away, Mrs. Lu had been very good friends with Bai Bing¡¯s mother. Because of her mother, they had known each other since they were young. All these years, Lu Yunxiao had no scandals at all. Strangely, Bai Bing did not either. So Bai Bing was waiting for an opportunity to marry Lu Yunxiao? Jiang Youyi also understood why this person had been appearing in front of her recently. Recently, she and Lu Yunxiao had been tied together by the media and were on the trending searches and headlines. Especially that intimate photo taken from a borrowed angle, it most likely made that woman unable to sit still. Therefore, her guess was right. Mrs. Xu had someone guiding her on the interview program and came prepared. After all, Xu Yuning and his father would not do such a degrading thing. In this way, all the doubts were easily resolved. Jiang Youyi sighed softly and placed her phone by the bed. ¡°Sigh, I originally wanted to go home and hide. I didn¡¯t expect this small Ocean City to not be a safe place. One can hide in the open, but it¡¯s difficult to guard against the dark. There¡¯s really a world where there are people.¡± At this moment, the phone beside the bed rang. Jiang Youyi picked it up and saw that it was her second sister. Jiang Youtian: ¡°I saw the name list. What do you think?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°What else can 1 think? This matter has developed to this point, and it¡¯s no longer something I can decide.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°This banquet is quite strange. I¡¯m not by your side. You have to be careful if you go.¡± Jiang Youtian was also a smart person. When the cause and effect of this matter came together, she felt that something was wrong. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Sister, has the Li family contacted you?¡± Jiang Youtian: ¡°No, but I did receive an invitation.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Something¡¯s really wrong. They gave you the invitation, but your name isn¡¯t on the list.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this first. Lu Yunxiao should be attending too. You¡¯d better stay away from this man.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Second Sister, I¡¯ve always wanted to ask you, why are you so afraid of this person?¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°He¡¯s too shrewd. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll fall in love and he¡¯ll retreat unscathed in the end. You won¡¯t be able to extricate yourself.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Second Sister, you¡¯re overthinking this.¡± She really wanted to tell her second sister that she actually had some brains and was not the useless snack that her family thought she was. Jiang Youtian: ¡°I see that Ji Chu is also on the invitation list. The two of you¡­ haven¡¯t contacted each other since, right?¡± At the mention of this person, Jiang Youyi fell silent. Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°Where are you? Did you get lost?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Second Sister, I¡¯ll sleep first. I stayed up late yesterday.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to talk about Ji Chu with her second sister, so she stiffly changed the topic. Jiang Youtian was still worried about her attending the banquet alone, but she was far away and could not help her. She could only patiently remind her, ¡°Brother and Sister-in-law can¡¯t accompany you this time. You have to be careful. You have to be careful with your words and actions, understand?¡± The Li family¡¯s banquet was not as special as usual. Jiang Youtian felt from the bottom of her heart that her sister was simple and straightforward. If she really encountered someone scheming to plot against her, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. *** In the Xu family villa. After Xu Yuning returned home, the relationship between the family had clearly eased a lot. Seeing that her brother had returned home, Xu Pingping was busy washing fruits and making tea. She did not idle for a moment. Xu Yuning was sitting in the living room with his father, talking about the corporation¡¯s business. Xu Hao already had a lot of white hair on his head. After all, he was old and his energy was not as good as before. Recently, he had been a little busy and his body could not take it. As they chatted, he coughed frequently. ¡°Dad, shall I bring you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?¡± Xu Yuning was still very worried. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. I¡¯m just old and my health isn¡¯t as good as before. Now that you¡¯re back, I should be fine soon.¡± ¡°Dad, I just feel that Mom is too impulsive. I¡¯m not angry with you.¡± ¡°I know. Your mother¡¯s temper has been like this since I met her. I¡¯m already used to it. You¡¯re young, so you might not be able to accept her being so domineering. But you have to know that no matter what, your mother is doing it for your own good. Perhaps her method is wrong, but her intention is always good..¡± Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: Gown for the Homecoming Banquet Chapter 80: Gown for the Homecoming Banquet Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xu Yuning suddenly fell silent, as if he did not want to talk about this topic anymore. ¡°Have you seen the invitation list for the banquet? You have to accompany Pingping this time.¡± Xu Hao changed the topic. Xu Yuning nodded. ¡°The name list has been published online. Even if 1 don¡¯t want to go, I have to go. However, this matter is a little strange. I¡¯ve never heard of any banquet having an invitation list.¡± Xu Yuning felt that something was wrong with this matter. The invitation had already been sent to him, so whoever wanted to go naturally went. Moreover, with the Li family¡¯s current status in Ocean City, who would dare not to go? Unless they didn¡¯t want to stay in Ocean City anymore, Mrs. Li¡¯s husband was now sitting on the first chair in Ocean City. Many people didn¡¯t have the chance to build a relationship with him. ¡°Yes, this matter is indeed strange. Perhaps the Li family has other plans. Perhaps they want to take this opportunity to help the young lady find a suitable marriage partner. However, don¡¯t get involved in this matter. That young lady has just reached adulthood. Moreover, even if you want to find someone, you can¡¯t find a family member who entered politics. The risk and pressure are high.¡± Xu Hao was worried that his son would be tempted, so he simply made it clear. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. I¡¯m not interested in young people. Besides, you¡¯re right. The aristocratic families in the political world are indeed not suitable for our family. We¡¯d better be down-to-earth and do our business well. At least we don¡¯t have to be afraid of earning this money.¡± Xu Yuning shared his father¡¯s thoughts on this matter. ¡°Brother, I have something to talk to you about alone. Come over for a while.¡± ¡°What can¡¯t you say here? Why must you make it so mysterious?¡± ¡°Come quickly. It¡¯s just for a while. It won¡¯t take too long.¡± Xu Pingping quietly waved at Xu Yuning, indicating for him to go to the second floor of the villa. ¡°Alright, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Brother, let me show you something.¡± Xu Pingping mysteriously brought her brother to the public cloakroom on the second floor. There were all kinds of gowns that the Xu family usually wore for formal occasions. There were hundreds of gowns of different styles and seasons. They looked very graceful and luxurious when placed together. ¡°Why did you bring me to see these?¡± Xu Yuning was a little puzzled. ¡°Come and take a look at this gown.¡± Xu Pingping chose a red gown from the women¡¯s gown. Xu Yuning could tell at a glance. His gaze instantly became complicated. ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­?¡± Xu Pingping nodded. ¡°Yes, this is the gown that our family customized for Sister Youyi. At that time, the first batch of gowns and wedding dresses was cut and thrown away by Mom. This was sent later. It was originally meant to be worn on the day of the homecoming banquet. I saw that the tag said 89,000, so 1 couldn¡¯t bear to tell Mom.¡± ¡°It¡¯s pretty. You can keep it for yourself.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°Brother, 1 can¡¯t wear this. This is custom-made according to Sister Youyi¡¯s height and weight.¡± Xu Pingping liked this gown, but she really couldn¡¯t wear it. Xu Yuning pondered for a moment and could not help but say what was on his mind. ¡°Since it¡¯s tailor-made according to her height and weight, no one else can wear it. It¡¯s a waste to throw it away. Go and send it to her. Don¡¯t say that I gave it to her.¡± ¡°What if Sister Youyi rejects it?¡± ¡°Then just throw it away.¡± After saying this, Xu Yuning turned around and left. It was as if he did not want to talk about Jiang Youyi¡¯s past anymore. It was bitter and heartbreaking to talk about it. Especially when he saw this gown that was originally prepared for the homecoming banquet. In just a short month, everything had changed. In the past, he would never have thought that he would break up with Jiang Youyi and even become worse than a stranger. The next morning, Xu Pingping brought the gown to the Jiang family. Coincidentally, only Jiang Youyi and Housekeeper Sister Fang were at home. Everyone else went to the company to play mahjong. ¡°Miss, Miss Xu is here to look for you again.¡± Housekeeper Sister Fang instinctively thought that Xu Pingping was here to persuade her brother again and persuade Third Miss to forgive her scumbag brother, so she did not give her a good attitude. ¡°Got it. 1¡¯11 go down now.¡± Jiang Youyi put on a sweater and jacket and shuffled downstairs in her slippers. Xu Pingping sat on the sofa in the living room with an exquisite handbag in her hand. It was very big and conspicuous. ¡°Sister Youyi, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you again.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, Sister Fang. Pour Pingping a glass of fruit juice.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself, Sister Youyi. I¡¯m here to deliver the gown to you. I¡¯m leaving after that.¡± ¡°Send me a gown?¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned.. Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Youre Too Soft-hearted Chapter 81: You¡¯re Too Soft-hearted Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Yes, this gown was custom-made by our family¡¯s designer when you and Brother got engaged. However, we didn¡¯t need those previously. This dress is a little special. You chose the style and color yourself at that time and said that you planned to wear it on the day of the banquet. Some time ago, the gown was sent to our house. I saw that it wasn¡¯t cheap, so I couldn¡¯t bear to sell it. 1 thought that you might need it to attend Miss Li¡¯s birthday banquet this time, so 1 sent it to you.¡± ¡°Did your brother ask you to come?¡± Jiang Youyi asked her. ¡°No, no one in the family knows about this. 1 was afraid that Brother would be sad when he saw the gown, so I didn¡¯t dare tell him. I took the initiative to send it to you.¡± Xu Pingping had improved a lot compared to before. She knew that Sister Youyi was very annoyed at the mention of her brother now, so she didn¡¯t dare to mention it. ¡°Alright, thank you. I¡¯ll take it.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Xu Pingping was pleasantly surprised. When she came, she didn¡¯t have much hope. She thought that Sister Youyi would most likely reject her, but she really couldn¡¯t bear to let her mother cut off such an expensive gown and throw it away. ¡°Really. Thank you, Pingping. I¡¯ll take it.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me, Sister Youyi. You separated from my brother because he let you down. My mother is even on the show¡­ but 1 know very well that you¡¯ve already done your best for our family. No matter what, I¡¯m still very happy that this gown can be worn by you in the end.¡± Xu Pingping liked Jiang Youyi from the bottom of her heart, so she was very sincere in giving her the gown. ¡°I can accept your kindness, but 1 must give you the money for this gown.¡± ¡°How can 1 do that? No, I can¡¯t take your money.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t accept the money, I can¡¯t accept the gown either.¡± Jiang Youyi took the bag and looked at the tag on the gown. It was from a certain luxury brand. 89,000 yuan was really not cheap. ¡°1¡¯11 transfer the money to you through Alipay. Pingping, you have to accept this money.¡± Xu Pingping looked troubled. ¡°Sister Youyi, I just want to give you a gift. 1 really can¡¯t accept your money.¡± ¡°I understand your intentions, so I¡¯ve said that I¡¯ll accept your intentions. However, your brother and I have already separated. I can¡¯t accept such an expensive gown from you for no reason. Pingping, accept the money. Don¡¯t make things too difficult for me.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to waste such an expensive gown. The style of this gown was indeed quite good. She could wear it to more formal occasions. ¡°Alright¡­ I¡¯ll take it then.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled at her and transferred the money to her via Alipay. Although Xu Pingping was very unwilling, she could only accept the money. ¡°Sister Youyi, I¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat with me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not eating, Sister Youyi. 1 still have class later and have to go to school.¡± Xu Pingping pursed her lips as if she had something to say, but she swallowed it in the end. She rejected Jiang Youyi¡¯s invitation and left. ¡°Third Miss, you¡¯re too soft-hearted! How good would it be if you just let her throw away the clothes? It has nothing to do with us anyway. Why should we give them nearly 90,000 yuan? Just thinking about it makes me feel that it¡¯s not worth it!¡± Sister Fang was furious. She was indignant about Xu Yuning¡¯s mother defaming Jiang Youyi on the show previously. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, Sister Fang. This 90,000 yuan is just because of Pingping¡¯s sincerity. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Xu family.¡± Jiang Youyi was willing to accept the gown because she valued Xu Pingping¡¯s heart. She knew that she might be blamed by her family for doing this, but she still wanted to give her the gown. Nowadays, society is a big dye tank. Most people were blinded by greed. However, the young lady was young and innocent. She could not bear to reject her. ¡°Then Third Miss, are you really planning to wear this to the banquet?¡± Sister Fang was thinking that Xu Yuning would definitely attend the banquet that day. If he saw the clothes Third Miss was wearing, would he think that you still could not forget him? To be honest, Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t care what she was wearing on the day of the banquet at all because she was resistant to this banquet from the bottom of her heart. Especially after knowing the relationship between Bai Bing and Lu Yunxiao, she felt that this banquet was like a trap set for her alone. Therefore, she did not consider the problem of dressing up. She had never liked to show off. Her second sister was so famous, but there was very little news about her on the Internet. Even the paparazzi had little information about her. If not for the fact that she wanted to take revenge on Xu Yuning and the Xu family this time, her name might not have appeared on the trending searches for the rest of her life.. Chapter 82 - Chapter 82:1 Didnt See You Having Double Standards Before Chapter 82:1 Didn¡¯t See You Having Double Standards Before Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the president¡¯s office on the top floor of Qihe Corporation. ¡°President Lu, you have to sign these contracts. Please take a look.¡± Lu Yunxiao took the folder and opened it seriously. ¡°President Lu¡­¡± ¡°If you have something to say, say it.¡± ¡°An entertainment reporter just sent me a message. 1 think it might not be useful, but 1 still want to tell you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re starting to enter the entertainment industry now? Not bad, Tang Dawei. You¡¯re involved in a wide range of things.¡± Lu Yunxiao wanted to kick the male secretary out of the office when he heard that about the entertainment reporter. ¡°But¡­ it has something to do with Third Miss Jiang.¡± Tang Dawei had been with Lu Yunxiao for five years. He could more or less guess what his boss was thinking. Regarding the recent trending topics, the boss even personally tagged Third Miss Jiang on Weibo. He would never believe that he had nothing to do with Third Miss Jiang. When he heard Third Miss Jiang¡¯s name, Lu Yunxiao put the document in his hand aside and leaned back in his chair lazily. ¡°Tell me, what message did that person send you?¡± ¡°This person might not have gotten the information through any official channels. He should be the kind who sells information to earn money.¡± ¡°Cut the crap.¡± ¡°This reporter has been waiting at Miss Jiang¡¯s house recently. This morning, she discovered Xu Yuning¡¯s sister, Xu Pingping. She went to the Jiang family with a very big bag. When she came out again, her hand was empty. 1 don¡¯t know what she sent to Miss Jiang.¡± ¡°So what exactly is it?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked calmly. ¡°That reporter said he would only tell us if he was paid.¡± Tang Dawei felt that his boss was the richest man in the world. Such a person would definitely fork out money immediately. However, he was very wrong this time. Lu Yunxiao took out his phone calmly and sent a voice message to Jiang Youyi. Lu Yunxiao asked, ¡°Did you accept the things Xu Pingping gave you?¡± About half a minute later, Jiang Youyi replied with a voice message. Lu Yunxiao even deliberately turned his voice on speaker. Jiang Youyi: ¡°She sent me a gown. How did you know? Did you send someone to follow me?¡± Lu Yunxiao placed his phone on the table and played the voice message again. Jiang Youyi¡¯s voice resounded in the quiet office. ¡°Did you hear that?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked him. ¡°I¡­ I heard it.¡± ¡°Do you believe that if you transfer money to that entertainment journalist, he will say in the work group chat that he met a sucker today?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President. 1 was too stupid.¡± Tang Dawei really didn¡¯t expect his boss to send Miss Jiang a WeChat message. How impressive. Were all the richest people so diligent and thrifty? That entertainment reporter would probably faint from crying in the toilet now. Then, Tang Dawei saw his boss pick up his phone and open the official website of a luxury brand. After sifting through the female outfits and looking around, he finally chose a white gown. ¡°Go to the shop and buy this gown. Let them send it to the Jiang family.¡± ¡°Okay, President Lu, but¡­ what size is Miss Jiang?¡± Lu Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He roughly recalled Jiang Youyi¡¯s waist the last time he hugged her. ¡°S will do.¡± ¡°Alright, then should we pay this money or Miss Jiang?¡± As soon as Tang Dawei asked this, he felt his boss¡¯s sharp gaze and quickly slipped away. As he slipped away, he sighed at how difficult it was to be a secretary. He didn¡¯t want to be a blind person, but what if he made a mistake with such an expensive gown and the boss deducted it from his salary? He had seen the price from his boss¡¯s phone just now. It was more than 140,000 yuan. *** An hour later, Jiang Youyi was about to return to her room to play games when she heard Sister Fang say that someone was delivering something downstairs. Jiang Youyi walked out with a puzzled expression and saw a shop assistant in a luxury brand uniform standing at the door. ¡°Miss Jiang, this is your gown.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never bought it before. Did you get the wrong person?¡± ¡°No, Miss Jiang. This is a gift from your friend. Please sign for it.¡± ¡°A friend?¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s head was filled with question marks. If Xu Pingping had not come this morning, she would really have suspected that Xu Yuning was up to no good again. However, she had already received the Xu family¡¯s gown. Who else could it be? After signing the receipt, she called Lu Yunxiao without even taking off the packaging. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Did you order the gown to be delivered?¡± ¡°You got it?¡± He didn¡¯t deny it, so it was. ¡°Why did you suddenly send me a gown?¡± ¡°Xu Yuning can send you one, but I can¡¯t? Jiang Youyi, why didn¡¯t I realize that you have such double standards in the past?¡± The man¡¯s tone on the other end of the phone was so sour that she almost gritted her teeth.. Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Are You Shameless? Chapter 83: Are You Shameless? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi: [¡­] ¡°No, you¡¯re really strange. We¡¯re not friends or business partners. Why did you give me such an expensive gown for no reason?¡± Jiang Youyi felt that there must be something wrong with this person¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. I¡¯m not giving it to you for free. The original price of this gown is 148,000 yuan. I personally chose it for you. The labor fee is 66,000 yuan. Open your phone and Alipay to transfer 214,000 yuan to me. I¡¯ll wait for you to transfer the money,¡± a certain big shot said without blushing. Jiang Youyi: ??? Is there something wrong with this person¡¯s brain? ¡°President Lu, you¡¯re so busy every day, but you¡¯re still in the mood to cheat me of 200,000 yuan. I realize that you¡¯re really a good person. Could it be that you made a fortune by swindling and cheating?¡± ¡°More or less,¡± Lu Yunxiao said calmly. ¡°It¡¯s to earn money. There¡¯s no distinction between high and low.¡± If not for the fact that the two of them were on the phone, Jiang Youyi really wanted to hit him. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, please stop looking like a robber. Why don¡¯t you go rob someone else? Did I say that 1 wanted to buy the gown you chose?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t say.¡± ¡°So even if 1 don¡¯t buy it, what can you do to me? Can you still snatch money from my pocket?¡± Jiang Youyi was smug. ¡°I guess so. It¡¯s not difficult to snatch money from your pocket.¡± ¡°Hah, stop dreaming. You even snatched money from my pocket. My money is¡­¡± Halfway through, Jiang Youyi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She quickly checked her overseas bank account. The money she took from Wu Chen last time did decrease. After deducting the capital of three million yuan, the remaining twelve million yuan was split equally. In other words, Lu Yunxiao should have transferred six million yuan into her account, but¡­ there was only five million yuan now, which was a total of one million yuan less. And she had only realized it now! Actually, it was not that she was slow to react, but that she did not care about this bit of money at all. She did not expect Lu Yunxiao to be so shameless. She was furious. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, you¡¯re being shameless.¡± Lu Yunxiao could imagine how angry the young lady was from the other end of the phone. He immediately found it interesting. ¡°You still have the cheek to laugh? You¡¯re the richest man in the world, and you¡¯re a man. How dare you do such a sneaky thing? Return me my one million!¡± ¡°You only realized that a million yuan was missing now, which means that you¡¯re not short of money. You didn¡¯t realize that so much was missing.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Jiang Youyi paused. ¡°I trusted you too much. 1 didn¡¯t expect you to be so wicked.¡± ¡°Therefore, out of the 214,000 yuan deducted from the gown, there¡¯s still 786,000 left. I¡¯ll find an opportunity to deduct the rest slowly in the future.¡± Jiang Youyi: [¡­] She really wanted to scold him, but she was really afraid that this shameless man would record it and continue to threaten her. ¡°I don¡¯t need an expensive dress.¡± ¡°You even paid for the gown sent by Xu Yuning.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the style 1 chose long ago. Isn¡¯t it a little too much for you to ask for 100,000 yuan for labor fees to choose a style for me? You want 100,000 yuan for just a random piece of clothing?¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯ve never chosen clothes for a woman. You¡¯re the first. 1 must accept more for such a unique opportunity.¡± Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth on the other end of the phone. ¡°Alright, you win. There¡¯s still a long way to go. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± ¡°Let me remind you that it¡¯s best if you wear the gown 1 chose for you to attend the banquet. If you wear the one Xu Pingping sent¡­¡± ¡°What now?¡± Jiang Youyi rolled her eyes. ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just that the rest of the money will be deducted.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. Can she call the police? She couldn¡¯t be bothered to continue talking to this scoundrel, so she hung up the phone with a bang. It seemed that other than being the richest man, Lu Yunxiao had another unknown identity¡ªthe most shameless person in Ocean City. She finally knew why this person was not married even though he was not young anymore. It was because he was too scheming. What era was it now? It was fine if you didn¡¯t spend money on women, but you still spent women¡¯s money? You could just wait to be a bachelor for the rest of your life! But what did this person say before hanging up? He said that she had to wear the gown he had chosen. If she wore the one sent by the Xu family, the remaining 700,000 yuan would be deducted? Why? Was it because he was shameless? Jiang Youyi was not in the mood to play games anymore. She was depressed at home for a while. Zhong Xiaohui wanted to go shopping with her, but she was not in the mood to go. On the other side, when Zhang Meng saw the invitation list, she was so angry that she smashed a cup. The Li family actually invited Jiang Youyi.. What right did she have? Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: In Revenge Chapter 84: In Revenge Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Zhang Meng still remembered when she asked someone to come to the Jiang Family to be a helper. When she thought back, the Jiang Family treated her quite well. However, because of her original family and childhood, she hated this kind of warmth. Every time the Jiang family treated her kindly, she felt that they were just giving her pity as if they were superior. She felt that they were just pretending to be friendly. Because in her world, human nature was evil. Everyone was selfish and dark. It was just that some people knew how to disguise themselves. Just like Xu Yuning. Everyone in Ocean City knew that he had pursued Third Miss Jiang for five years and treated her as his lifeblood. But so what? She had only moved her lips and seduced him a little, but Xu Yuning was still coaxed into bed by her. She was even pregnant with his child. Therefore, every time she thought of the Jiang family, Zhang Meng¡¯s heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. Actually, she had someone she liked in the beginning. That was Jiang Youyi¡¯s biological brother, Jiang Nian. When Zhang Meng was young, the happiest time was sitting in front of the television and watching martial arts dramas. She felt that Jiang Nian was like a friendly young master from a rich family in a martial arts drama. He was humble and friendly to others. Zhang Meng had never seen him angry. Moreover, he was very good to his subordinates. Be it the housekeeper or the servants, he would smile every time he saw them. She was a girl who came from the countryside. When she first arrived at the Jiang family, she did not know anything. Hence, she had done many wrong things. She had accidentally taken Jiang Nian¡¯s cashmere sweater that was worth tens of thousands of yuan and washed it in the washing machine. She had also accidentally broken the out-of-print figurine that Jiang Nian had bought at a high price. At that time, she had been terrified, afraid that the Jiang family would chase her away and deduct her salary. However, Jiang Nian did not. Not only was he not angry, he even comforted her, telling her that it was alright, there was no need to be afraid. At that time, Zhang Meng looked at Jiang Nian¡¯s back in a daze. She often fantasized about whether the heavens would bless her once and make Jiang Nian fall in love with her. Although the Jiang Family was not considered a top-notch wealthy family, in terms of character and appearance, Jiang Nian was Zhang Meng¡¯s favorite. Hence, she gradually developed the idea of seducing Jiang Nian. She began to make use of job opportunities to create all kinds of coincidences. However, the good times didn¡¯t last long. Not long after, her thoughts were exposed by Jiang Youyi. That night, Mrs. Jiang called her to her room and gave her a thick envelope with three months¡¯ worth of salary, telling her not to come again tomorrow. She knew that Jiang Youyi must be behind this. At that time, Jiang Youyi was enjoying Xu Yuning¡¯s crazy and passionate pursuit. It was also at that time that she met Xu Yuning by chance. To be honest, although Xu Yuning was not bad-looking, he was far inferior to Jiang Nian in her eyes. Later on, she schemed to seduce Xu Yuning just to take revenge on Jiang Youyi. She wanted to see Jiang Youyi in pain, sadness, and despair. She even imagined that Jiang Youyi would kneel in front of her one day and beg her to leave Xu Yuning. What she did not expect was that as Xu Yuning¡¯s fiancee, Jiang Youyi had been very calm from the beginning to the end. This made her start to wonder if Jiang Youyi liked Xu Yuning or if she was used to his pursuit and was just putting on an act with him. The memories were still vivid in her mind. Zhang Meng pulled herself out of her thoughts and picked up her phone to call a number. *** An hour later. In a teahouse in the suburbs of Ocean City. ¡°Why did you specifically ask me out? What do you want to say?¡± Mrs. Xu still looked down on her. To be honest, even though she could tell that Zhang Meng was trying her best to please her and even wanted to reconcile the mother and son, Mrs. Xu still felt that she was not presentable. ¡°Madam, Yuning hasn¡¯t been angry with you since he got home, has he?¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯m his biological mother. We¡¯re flesh and blood. Even if there¡¯s a misunderstanding, it¡¯s only temporary. You don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. I overstepped my boundaries.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have time to chat with you here. Just say it.¡± Although Mrs. Xu didn¡¯t like Jiang Youyi, based on her years of intuition, she disliked this woman who was flattering her even more. Even though she had always been humble in front of her, she still felt that this was a fox hiding its tail. ¡°Madam, I saw the invitation list for Miss Li¡¯s birthday banquet online. If Pingping goes, Yuning will accompany her, right?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? They invited Yuning anyway.¡± ¡°But I saw that Jiang Youyi was on the list. At this time, the people outside are all watching Yuning and Miss Jiang¡¯s every move. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate to let them meet at this time?¡± Zhang Meng smiled after saying that, as if she was pretending to be relaxed and casual.. Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Why Should She Be Invited? Chapter 85: Why Should She Be Invited? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Haha, you¡¯ve been laying the groundwork for so long. In the end, you¡¯re afraid that Yuning and Jiang Youyi will get back together, right?¡± Mrs. Xu sneered as she sized up the woman in front of her. Zhang Meng smiled faintly and shook her head. She took the initiative to get up and refill Mrs. Xu¡¯s tea. ¡°I¡¯ve never been worried about them reconciling. On the other hand, you should consider yourself, Madam.¡± ¡°For myself? What are you trying to say?¡± Mrs. Xu was a little vigilant. ¡°Ever since you appeared on the show, Jiang Youyi must hate you to the core now. When she goes to the banquet and sees Yuning, it¡¯s inevitable that she will add fuel to the fire and say bad things about you in front of Yuning. Yuning was already angry with you because of this matter. If Jiang Youyi deliberately sows discord at this time, I¡¯m afraid your relationship, which has just eased, will be at a stalemate again. What do you think?¡± Hearing this, Mrs. Xu¡¯s eyes gradually darkened. This woman was right. His son still couldn¡¯t forget Jiang Youyi and hoped that the girl would reconcile with him. Ever since she appeared on the show, she had indeed completely offended Jiang Youyi. When they met at the banquet, Jiang Youyi only needed to shed a few tears and complain, then her son would definitely be angry when he returned. ¡°Then what do you think we should do? Do you want me to stop Yuning from attending?¡± Actually, before Zhang Meng found her, Mrs. Xu was very supportive of Xu Yuning attending the banquet. After all, that was Secretary Li¡¯s daughter¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony. At that time, the girls attending the banquet would definitely be from some top wealthy families. If Xu Yuning could get to know a girl of equal social status at the banquet and develop his career, wouldn¡¯t he naturally throw Jiang Youyi behind his head? However, she never thought that Jiang Youyi would be able to get an invitation. What right did she have? The Jiang family was just an upstart without any cultural heritage. In the entire Ocean City, there were definitely many families like them. She had never taken the Jiang family seriously, so she did not expect Mrs. Li to invite Jiang Youyi. ¡°I have an idea that might help you.¡± ¡°Tell me, what idea?¡± Then, Zhang Meng got up and walked to Mrs. Xu¡¯s side. She bent down and whispered into her ear for a while. Mrs. Xu frowned slightly. ¡°Are you sure this method will work?¡± ¡°Madam, if you don¡¯t want Jiang Youyi to sow discord between you and Yuning, why don¡¯t you listen to my method and try your best? If you don¡¯t take action first, Jiang Youyi will be a villain who sows discord between you and Yuning sooner or later.¡± Mrs. Xu picked up her cup and drank the tea in one gulp, deep in thought. *** On the other side, Du Meihong drove a black BMW to a secret club in the suburbs of Ocean City. ¡°Aunt Du.¡± ¡°Aunt Meihong, you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Little Bin?¡± Du Meihong took off the sunglasses that covered half of her face and carried the limited edition Hermes bag. She looked very impressive. ¡°Brother Bin is still resting. 1¡¯11 go get him for you.¡± ¡°Why are you still sleeping at a time like this?¡± Du Meihong¡¯s expression was a little ugly. She was clearly displeased. Soon, a young man walked down lazily from the five-story villa. He wasn¡¯t young either. He looked to be at least 30 years old. His eyes were a little cloudy and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Although this man¡¯s appearance was ordinary, he could be recognized at a glance in a crowd. He was fair, especially fair. He had single eyelids and a lot of white in his eyes. He had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and thin lips. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a refined scum. He even had a black diamond earring on his right ear. ¡°Aunt, why are you here so early? Are you going to church for worship?¡± He thought that Du Meihong wanted him to accompany her to church. The Du family had been Christian since the old lady¡¯s generation. The entire family believed in Christianity. In Du Chengbin¡¯s generation, he was the only son in the family and the only child. He was even valued and cared for by the entire family. Actually, the Du family did not have much family background. It was just a demolition house in the countryside of Ocean City. However, Du Meihong worked hard and relied on her own efforts to successfully marry Lu Guo¡¯an. She flew up the social ladder and became a phoenix. There was a saying in their village that went well. When a person achieved the Dao, his chickens and dogs would soar to the sky. The Du family was an obvious example. In the past few years, Du Meihong had already secretly used money to support her family and help her nephew buy more assets. There were more than ten houses bought in Ocean City. Du Chengbin relied on his aunt¡¯s financial support and Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s name to open a few small loan companies and plastic surgery hospitals in Ocean City, as well as the secret club they were currently in. Since the clubhouse was hidden in the suburbs, there was naturally something shameful here.. Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Embarrassing Thing Chapter 86: Embarrassing Thing Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations However, Du Chengbin was smart and ruthless. He was very pleasing to Du Meihong. ¡°No church. I have something to tell you. Come here.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Du Chengbin looked at his subordinates. ¡°You guys can leave first.¡± Du Meihong was about to speak when she saw an extremely vulgar and revealing woman walking down the stairs. It was already winter in Ocean City in November, but this person was still barefoot and wearing a mini skirt. The length of the skirt only covered her butt. ¡°Brother Bin, I¡¯m hungry. When are you going to bring me to eat?¡± The little girl¡¯s words were very different from her style of dressing. It was so coquettish that goosebumps rose all over her body. Du Meihong frowned, clearly impatient. Du Chengbin was very perceptive. He quickly reprimanded, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m talking about something? Hurry up and get out. Go buy whatever you want to eat. Don¡¯t disturb me here!¡± ¡°Brother Bin¡­¡± The little girl pouted and was about to wheedle. ¡°Get out of here. Don¡¯t be an eyesore.¡± The little girl was stunned when she heard this. After she reacted, she ran away without looking back. ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore. It¡¯s time for you to start a family. Don¡¯t interact with such trash outside every day. Isn¡¯t it embarrassing?¡± ¡°Aunt, 1 was just bored and playing around. 1 didn¡¯t take it seriously.¡± ¡°Even if you want to play, can¡¯t you find something decent? What¡¯s this? It¡¯s not embarrassing enough.¡± Du Meihong was old after all. She really couldn¡¯t accept such a coquettish woman in a miniskirt. If her nephew married such a woman, she promised to immediately cut off all financial help to him and cut ties with him. ¡°Aunt, let¡¯s not talk about this first. Why did you come to look for me today?¡± ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve encountered something troubling recently.¡± Du Meihong sighed and said with a frown. ¡°Is there anything 1 can do for you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s someone who keeps swaying in front of me. They¡¯re an eyesore.¡± Du Meihong recalled the recent trending topic and felt a little uneasy. Du Chengbin immediately perked up. ¡°There¡¯s still someone in Ocean City who dares to provoke you? Who is this person? 1 think he¡¯s tired of living!¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking for you for this matter. I don¡¯t want to see this person in Ocean City again. I¡¯ll have to trouble you for this.¡± ¡°Who could make Aunt so angry? Don¡¯t tell me¡­ Uncle has a woman outside?¡± Du Chengbin thought that his aunt was worried that her position as Mrs. Lu would be unstable and that Lu Guo¡¯an would be disloyal. After all, most married women could fight with others because of men or related to men. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Your uncle treats me very well.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not Uncle, then who is it? Could it be his son who¡¯s looking for trouble with you again?¡± Du Chengbin had seen Lu Yunxiao a few times. That person was so arrogant that he looked down on others. He had never given the Du family a good attitude. However, he could only swallow his anger. Therefore, in Du Chengbin¡¯s heart, people like Lu Yunxiao who looked down on others just because they came from a good family were the most detestable. Du Meihong let out a long sigh. ¡°Lu Yunxiao is not young anymore. Your uncle has been helping him find a suitable marriage candidate recently. You should understand that Lu Yunxiao¡¯s wife has a huge impact on me.¡± ¡°I understand, Aunt.¡± Du Chengbin was very smart and understood immediately. It was very important for his aunt¡¯s future life to know if the future mistress of the Lu Family was easy to control. ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to matchmake him with Bai Bing. These days, I¡¯ve been whispering to your uncle every day. He¡¯s quite satisfied with Bai Bing. However, Lu Yunxiao won¡¯t relent. It¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t want Bai Bing to be with him, but recently, he¡¯s been especially close to the third daughter of the Jiang family. He¡¯s been photographed by the reporters and is trending. I¡¯m a little uncertain.¡± ¡°The Jiang family? Why didn¡¯t I know that there was a Jiang family among the nobles in Ocean City?¡± ¡°The Jiang family can only be considered a small family. They¡¯re still far from being influential. However, that woman is not easy to deal with. Her ex-fiance is Xu Yuning. Now, she¡¯s having an ambiguous relationship with Lu Yunxiao.¡± ¡°All¡­ Now that you mention it, 1 remember. She¡¯s the young lady who broke off the engagement in public and confessed to Lu Yunxiao?¡± Du Meihong nodded. ¡°That woman has her ways. I saw that Lu Yunxiao has been interacting with her on Weibo recently. I thought that the two of them had already hooked up.¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I suspected at first. Later, 1 got someone to investigate. The information is very accurate. They did not know each other for long. Before that girl surnamed Jiang broke off the engagement, they did not have any interaction.¡± ¡°I remember that Lu Yunxiao also studied overseas, right? That girl seems to be a returnee too, right? Have you checked overseas?¡± Du Chengbin was a man, but he was meticulous.. Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Targeted by Two Groups Chapter 87: Targeted by Two Groups Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Du Meihong was stunned when she heard that. ¡°I was negligent about that, but that girl from the Jiang family is still young. Back then, she was still underage overseas. They wouldn¡¯t have hooked up at that time, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s never wrong to be careful.¡± ¡°If they knew each other at that time, then this woman couldn¡¯t stay in Ocean City. If she really targeted Lu Yunxiao overseas, this woman definitely isn¡¯t simple. She probably isn¡¯t just plotting for the position of Mrs. Lu Yunxiao. I¡¯m already so old and it wasn¡¯t easy for me to reach my current position. No matter what, I can¡¯t let anything go wrong. If I¡¯m good, our Du family will be good. Little Bin, do you understand?¡± ¡°Aunt, I understand.¡± Du Chengbin remembered clearly that his parents had often mentioned that in order to marry Lu Guo¡¯an back then, his aunt had endured humiliation in front of the Lu father and son and lowered her status for a few years. She had even been forced by Lu Yunxiao to sign a prenuptial agreement. ¡°If Lu Yunxiao insists on getting married, I hope that person is Bai Bing. At least she¡¯s easy to manipulate.¡± To put it bluntly, Du Meihong wanted to find a daughter-in-law who could stand on the same side as her and help her consolidate her status after marriage. An obedient daughter-in-law was also Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s idea. ¡°Aunt, what do you think¡­¡± ¡°Let that girl from the Jiang family completely disappear from Ocean City.¡± ¡°Leave this matter to me. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Du Chengbin smiled confidently. She was just a woman with no family background. Isn¡¯t it easy to make her disappear? ¡°Don¡¯t kill anyone. It won¡¯t be good for either of us if things get out of hand. It¡¯s fine as long as she disappears from Lu Yunxiao¡¯s sight.¡± Du Meihong understood her nephew¡¯s style of doing things. She was afraid that he would misunderstand her and kill Jiang Youyi. She didn¡¯t want to take a life. *** The Jiang Family. Jiang Youyi had no idea that she had been targeted by two groups of people and was still sleeping soundly at home. In the Wu family¡¯s old residence. ¡°Sis, are you going to Li Tianxin¡¯s birthday party?¡± Wu Chen walked down the stairs carelessly and saw his sister, Wu Yan, gesticulating the size of her gown in the mirror. ¡°You came down just in time. Which of these two looks better?¡± Wu Yan and Wu Chen were the children of Chairman Wu¡¯s second wife. They were also Chairman Wu¡¯s only remaining bloodline. The two of them had been pampered since they were young, especially Wu Yan. She was already 31 years old and had yet to get married. Her standards were extremely high. She had almost gone on blind dates with all the young masters in Ocean City, but in the end, none of them succeeded. Not only did she have high standards, but her hardware was also very ordinary. Her entire face had to undergo plastic surgery to barely be considered delicate. ¡°This one will make your waist look slimmer,¡± Wu Chen answered casually. ¡°Why don¡¯t you come with me? It just so happens that I don¡¯t have a dance partner yet. I heard that the girls who are invited can choose a dance partner to bring in.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Really? I thought you were busy and couldn¡¯t accompany me.¡± Wu Yan was very surprised. ¡°No matter how busy I am, 1 have to give in for my sister. Your matter is the most important thing in our family,¡± Wu Chen said glibly. He actually planned to take this opportunity to meet the legendary Jiang Youyi. Ever since Jiang Youyi broke off the engagement with Xu Yuning, she had been on the trending searches and headlines. Until a few days ago, she was photographed by reporters kissing Lu Yunxiao in public. Furthermore, she had secretly scammed him of more than ten million yuan. Just based on this, he had to meet her personally. Ever since he saw Jiang Youyi¡¯s name on the list published online, he felt that this banquet would definitely be very interesting. ¡°But there will be many beautiful girls attending the banquet. Your girlfriend won¡¯t be jealous, right?¡± ¡°Her? She¡¯s just a plaything that can be summoned and waved around. What right does she have to be jealous?¡± After saying that, the siblings laughed at the same time. Their smiles were disdainful and arrogant. *** On the other side, after Du Meihong left the club, Du Chengbin suddenly felt troubled. ¡°Brother Bin? What¡¯s troubling you?¡± ¡°My aunt wants me to deal with a woman, but this woman was invited to Director Li¡¯s youngest daughter¡¯s banquet. Do you think I should wait for her to finish attending the banquet before making a move, or should I just make her disappear before the banquet?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask Aunt Meihong for her opinion?¡± Du Chengbin glared at him. ¡°Do you have a brain? You¡¯re asking my aunt about such a small matter. Will she still believe in my ability in the future?¡± ¡°Then¡­ what do you plan to do?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s better to strike first and make her disappear before attending the banquet. If she shows up at the banquet and gets familiar with those young ladies and young masters, it won¡¯t be so easy to get rid of her without anyone knowing.¡± As Du Chengbin spoke, an imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.. Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Its Too Late to Say This Chapter 88: It¡¯s Too Late to Say This Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the Jiang Family¡¯s villa. ¡°Youyi, there¡¯s something dirty on your eyelids.¡± When the family sat together for dinner, Mrs. Jiang saw the small piece of paper on her daughter¡¯s eyelids. ¡°Mom, this isn¡¯t dirty. My right eyelid is twitching wildly today. 1 don¡¯t feel good, so I pressed it down.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so young. Why are you so superstitious? Take it off quickly. It¡¯s so ugly.¡± Jiang Youyi pursed her lips and muttered softly, ¡°Good things happen when your left eye jumps, and trouble happens when your right eye jumps. This is really unsettling.¡± When Mrs. Jiang was young, she was as beautiful as a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. Jiang Youtian had inherited all her beauty. Her eldest brother, Jiang Nian, was more like her father. As the third child, Jiang Youyi did not look like her father or mother, but she was still a bright beauty. Otherwise, Xu Yuning would not have loved her so much with just a glance. *** In the Xu family¡¯s villa. Taking advantage of the fact that his parents were asleep, Xu Yuning walked to his sister¡¯s room and knocked softly. Xu Pingping put a mud film on her face and walked over to open the door for him. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s so late. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu Yuning deliberately turned around to see if there was anyone behind him. Then, he asked in a low voice, ¡°Did you see her when you went to the Jiang residence today?¡± ¡°I saw Sister Youyi.¡± ¡°How is she? Is she doing well?¡± ¡°It should be¡­ not bad.¡± Xu Pingping thought for a long time and did not know how to answer. She thought to herself, It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen Sister Youyi for three to five years. Didn¡¯t you meet her two days ago? Could her life have changed much in just two days? ¡°She accepted the clothes?¡± Actually, when he saw Xu Pingping return home empty-handed, he knew that Jiang Youyi did not refuse. He originally thought that Jiang Youyi would reject her decisively, but from the looks of it, he seemed to have some hope. However, his parents were around during the day. He was too embarrassed to ask his sister directly, afraid that his mother would be angry again. Mr. Xu was fine. He had been very calm from the beginning to the end about him canceling the engagement with Jiang Youyi. Mrs. Xu¡¯s reaction was extraordinary. She doted on her only son very much. Jiang Youyi breaking off the engagement in front of so many dignitaries in Ocean City was undoubtedly a slap to the Xu family¡¯s face in public. Her actions made her precious son become the topic of gossip and laughter in the entire Ocean City, so she had always hated Jiang Youyi and could not let go of this knot in her heart. ¡°She accepted it, which was unexpected.¡± ¡°Did she¡­ ask you about me?¡± Xu Pingping sighed and shook her head. ¡°What else did you talk about?¡± ¡°Sister Youyi said that she¡¯ll accept it, but no matter what, she insisted on transferring the money for the gown to me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Yuning was stunned. ¡°Look, she used Alipay to transfer it to me. It¡¯s exactly the same as the price tag.¡± Xu Pingping took out the transfer certificate and showed it to her brother. Xu Yuning snatched the phone from his sister¡¯s hand and repeatedly clicked on Jiang Youyi¡¯s profile picture. All his contact details were blocked by Jiang Youyi. Even when he registered his alternate account to add her, the other party did not respond. However, she did not delete Xu Pingping¡¯s WeChat. He found Jiang Youyi¡¯s profile picture from Xu Pingping¡¯s WeChat list and opened it. For some reason, he sent a WeChat message. Xu Pingping: ¡°Have you rested?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Not yet. What¡¯s the matter, Pingping?¡± Xu Pingping said, ¡°My brother asked me about the gown. I said that you transferred the money to me. He was angry with me and asked me to return the money to you no matter what. He said that the gown was custom-made for you. Even if you¡¯re not together now, there¡¯s no reason to collect money.¡± Xu Yuning imitated his sister¡¯s tone and chatted with Jiang Youyi. Then, she sent the money back to Jiang Youyi on WeChat. However, Jiang Youyi did not accept it. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Pingping, I¡¯ve told you before. If you don¡¯t accept my money, 1 won¡¯t accept the gown either. Don¡¯t make things difficult for me, okay?¡± Xu Pingping said, ¡°Sister Youyi, can you really not forgive my brother again? He¡¯s been listless at home these days and can¡¯t do anything well. He really realized his mistake and promised not to make the same mistake again. Can¡¯t you give him another chance?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°It¡¯s too late to say this.¡± On the other end of the phone, Xu Yuning looked at the short message on the screen and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had once thought that Jiang Youyi must have gotten used to such a life after being by her side for five years. Even if he made a mistake, she wouldn¡¯t bear to leave him and give up on the feelings he had accumulated over the past five years. However, he didn¡¯t expect Jiang Youyi to let him go so easily.. Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Things Wont Go Well Tomorrow Chapter 89: Things Won¡¯t Go Well Tomorrow Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Xu Pingping said, ¡°But my brother really loves you very much. He said that if not for you, he would never want to get married again.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°It¡¯s late. I¡¯m going to sleep. Rest early.¡± Xu Yuning sighed softly and returned the phone to his sister. ¡°Brother, I think you shouldn¡¯t contact Sister Youyi too often for the time being. What you did hurt her too much. She always needs some time to compose herself. Don¡¯t be anxious. Give her more time. Perhaps things will turn for the better in the future¡­ She will give you another chance.¡± A large part of Xu Pingping¡¯s words were actually to comfort her brother. She asked herself honestly, if her boyfriend had cheated and gotten someone else pregnant, she would definitely not forgive him. Moreover, with a woman¡¯s special sixth sense, she could clearly feel that not only did Sister Youyi not have any feelings for her brother, but she also hated him. However, she could not stand her brother¡¯s distracted look recently, so she deliberately said this to comfort him. Xu Yuning did not say anything and turned to leave. At this moment, in an abandoned factory in the suburbs, a few people were planning something unknown. A few burly men stood in the abandoned factory. One of the blonds was the first to speak. ¡°Brother Peng instructed us to do this, but it¡¯s actually a mission given by Brother Bin. If the two of you do it well, Brother Peng will bring you to see Brother Bin.¡± Brother Bin was Du Chengbin. He had a lot of gangsters under him, some high and some low-level. The two that the biondie informed were considered low-level, in order to ¡°stand out¡±, he naturally wanted to meet Du Chengbin. ¡°Really? What kind of mission is that?¡± The big man among the two quickly asked. ¡°Deal with a woman and make sure she¡¯s not allowed to appear in Ocean City in the future,¡± the blond said to the two of them as he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. ¡°What woman needs the two of us to do it?¡± The big guy said disdainfully. ¡°She¡¯s just a little girl. The two of you will trick her out and take some nude photos to threaten her not to return to Ocean City in the future. Women care about their reputation. It¡¯s not difficult for her to agree. Remember, don¡¯t kill anyone.¡± As the biondie spoke, he handed the two of them a photo. Behind the photo was a string of phone numbers and simple personal information. The big guy took the photo and his eyes lit up. ¡°What¡­ What about the commission?¡± Although he was embarrassed to mention it, the rules of the underworld were that people had to pay for their work, so the big guy asked directly. The biondie sneered and took out an envelope from his pocket. He threw it on the abandoned production truck bed, causing dust to rise. The big man looked at it, picked up the envelope, and took out the money. When the two of them saw this, they couldn¡¯t help but look at each other and think that this was all?! It was only 3,000 yuan in total. ¡°This¡­¡± The tattooed man beside the big guy couldn¡¯t help but be speechless. ¡°That¡¯s quite a lot. Do you guys still want to see Brother Bin?¡± The biondie pinched their weak spots. The two of them had always wanted to make a name for themselves and meet Du Chengbin. They had already given him quite a lot. If not for the rules of the underworld, he would not have given them a single cent. ¡°Of course I do, of course 1 do!¡± When the tattooed man heard that he could see Brother Bin, he didn¡¯t care about the three melons. They also understood that Brother Bin wouldn¡¯t give so little money. He must have been skinned, but he didn¡¯t know how much. ¡°Do your job well. When you¡¯re done, I¡¯ll bring you to see Brother Bin and become his subordinates. Won¡¯t you live a good life in the future?¡± The biondie smiled at the two of them. ¡°Understood, understood!¡± The two of them were very happy when they heard that. They thought that they would soar in the future. However, in reality, Du Wenbin had given Bai Peng, who was Brother Peng, 300,000 yuan. He took 250,000 yuan for himself, and the biondie took 4.7,000 yuan. In the hands of the two of them, there was only 3,000 yuan left. After planning everything, the biondie drove away, leaving the two of them in the abandoned factory. The big guy took the photo just now and looked at it carefully. He couldn¡¯t help but smile evilly. ¡°This little girl is not bad-looking! Why don¡¯t we trick her out and make her my girlfriend? Then we can discuss with her not to let her return to Ocean City in the future?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? You¡¯re not allowed to have sex with a ¡®client¡¯. Don¡¯t you know? If the higher-ups find out, they¡¯ll chop off your hand,¡± the tattooed man quickly reminded. ¡°Alright, alright, 1 understand!¡± The big man was a little impatient. ¡°We¡¯ll trick this girl out tomorrow,¡± the big man continued. ¡°Tomorrow? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible tomorrow. I saw the almanac. Things won¡¯t go well tomorrow,¡± the tattooed man said to the big guy as he flipped through the almanac on his phone.. Chapter 90 - Chapter 90: Panicking Chapter 90: Panicking Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What do you mean, everything is not going well? 1 don¡¯t believe in these things. Humans rule over nature, understand?¡± This was the big guy¡¯s mantra. He had always believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely make a name for himself one day. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. As long as it exists, it¡¯s reasonable. I think we should believe it.¡± The tattooed man insisted on his opinion. The next day, the two of them discussed and began their plan in the rented apartment. Then, the big guy took out his phone and called Jiang Youyi. At this moment, Jiang Youyi was still in a daze. Everyone in the family had gone out to work, and Sister Fang was also busy with the things at hand. Just as she was sleeping soundly, her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Youyi picked it up casually. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Hello, Sister Jiang! I¡¯m from Cheng Alliance Technology. Our company has just opened for business and is in the midst of a lucky draw. Congratulations on winning a high-end smartphone. You can come to our company to pick it up today. Our address is¡­¡± Before the big guy could finish speaking, Jiang Youyi said impatiently, ¡°No, it¡¯s yours.¡± With that, she hung up. The two of them looked at each other. ¡°I told you, things won¡¯t go well today,¡± the tattooed man continued to advise. ¡°She probably thinks we¡¯re liars.¡± The big guy didn¡¯t believe in those things at all. Now that there were many phone scams, it was reasonable to take precautions. ¡°Aren¡¯t we liars?¡± The tattooed man scratched his head. ¡°Cut the crap. Keep calling. Say it¡¯s from the insurance company,¡± the big guy said, tossing the other phone to the tattooed man. Although the tattooed man was unwilling, there was still a difference between the two of them. Usually, it was the big guy who had the final say. He could only pick up the phone and dial the number. The two calls were enough to wake Jiang Youyi up. She sighed. She hadn¡¯t slept well today, so she picked up the call. ¡°Hello!¡± ¡°Hello, Miss Jiang. We are Zhongcheng Insurance. There are many projects suitable for you now. Do you have time to listen?¡± the tattooed man asked politely. ¡°Insurance? Insurance is good! 1 like insurance.¡± Jiang Youyi had returned from studying abroad and was not resistant to insurance and financial management. Hearing Jiang Youyi¡¯s words, the two people in the rented house were overjoyed. ¡°There are many projects that are suitable for you at the moment. You can come to our company for a face-to-face meeting and sign the contract in person.¡± The tattooed man wanted to trick her out quickly. ¡°Then do you have any discounts for insurance?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. The tattooed man was stunned by the question. Why does she wants to know more? 1 don¡¯t have enough knowledge! ¡°If the contract is successful, there will be good gifts. The highest you can get is a laptop.¡± The tattooed man thought that young girls often went online and would probably like such high-tech things. ¡°Okay, so what¡¯s your address?¡± She took the bait! She took the bait! The tattooed man was excited. ¡°Ocean City, Beijiang Road. Turn left 200 meters away from Love You Internet Cafe.¡± The tattooed man hurriedly gave the address. ¡°It¡¯s so far! It costs more than a hundred yuan to take a taxi!¡± Clearly, Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to go. ¡°We can reimburse you for your taxi fee.¡± The tattooed man was afraid that Jiang Youyi would not come, so he also revealed his ruthlessness. ¡°Then give it to me now. I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t admit it after I go over,¡± Jiang Youyi said. Speaking of which, Jiang Youyi did have a car, but she didn¡¯t sleep well and wanted to make things difficult for him. ¡°Huh??¡± The tattooed man hesitated for a moment before agreeing. ¡°Sure, give me your account number. I¡¯ll transfer 150 yuan to you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not 150 yuan, it¡¯s 300 yuan. There¡¯s still the travel fee for coming back!¡± Jiang Youyi was really good at making things difficult for people. ¡°Alright! 300 it is. I¡¯ll transfer it to you.¡± The commission was 3,000 yuan, so giving her 300 yuan was not a loss. Then, Jiang Youyi sent him a card number. After a while, the three hundred yuan was transferred to her account. At this moment, another call came. ¡°Miss Jiang, have you received the money?¡± ¡°Yes, yes,¡± Jiang Youyi said. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. ¡°Third Miss, it¡¯s time to go downstairs for dinner. I¡¯ve stewed your favorite clean iamb chop.¡± Sister Fang was the one who spoke. When Jiang Youyi heard that there was lamb chop to eat, she hung up the phone, put on her slippers, and went downstairs. ¡°She hung up¡­¡± the tattooed man said helplessly. ¡°Call her later. She took our money and will trust us. I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll come.¡± The big man looked at the tattooed man with determined eyes. The tattooed man also felt that what the big guy said made sense, so the two of them started to guard the phone, hoping that Jiang Youyi would call. However, they didn¡¯t receive a call from her until noon. The two of them panicked.. Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Implementing Plan B Chapter 91: Implementing Plan B Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Call her!¡± the big guy said decisively. ¡°Okay!¡± The tattooed man picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Youyi¡¯s number. ¡°Miss Jiang, have you finished your lamb chop?¡± ¡°I¡¯m done eating. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Youyi seemed to have forgotten what had happened previously. ¡°Oh, can you come to our company? We¡¯ve already prepared a few packages for you. They¡¯re all more cost-effective. If you don¡¯t come today, you might miss this good opportunity.¡± The tattooed man tried his best to seduce her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, 1 can¡¯t go over today. My sister-in-law¡¯s family is here. 1 have to entertain them,¡± Jiang Youyi said. She wasn¡¯t lying. Wang Yuqing¡¯s parents were really here. As the young lady of this family, she was busy. She had to make tea, serve fruits, and chatted with each other. With that, Jiang Youyi hung up. ¡°We seem to have been tricked.¡± The tattooed man was confused. ¡°She won¡¯t. She took our money. She¡¯ll definitely believe us,¡± the big man said firmly. ¡°Then, should 1 call again?¡± the tattooed man asked tentatively. ¡°Call her again!¡± The big guy firmly believed that Jiang Youyi would definitely believe them after taking their money. Who would give money first? ¡°Okay!¡± At the same time, Jiang Youyi¡¯s sister-in-law saw that she had picked up the call and asked, ¡°Who is it?¡± She was afraid that Jiang Youyi would be delayed from going out to play because her family had come. ¡°No one. Insurance.¡± ¡°Insurance? Don¡¯t trust people so easily. Phone fraud is rampant in the country now,¡± Sister-in-law reminded her kindly. ¡°No way?¡± Jiang Youyi was skeptical. ¡°Give me your phone number,¡± Sister-in-law said as she reached out to take Jiang Youyi¡¯s phone. After taking the phone, Wang Yuqing directly used a counter-deception app. When the tattooed man called Jiang Youyi again, he couldn¡¯t get through. ¡°We can¡¯t get through. We¡¯ve really been tricked.¡± The tattooed man was dumbfounded. He looked at the big guy, who wanted to cry. ¡°Damn it, I won¡¯t let her have it easy. Isn¡¯t it written on the information on the back of the photo that she¡¯s at home alone every morning? We¡¯ll dress up as property management staff and knock on her door to knock her out and bring her back.¡± The big guy had been cheated of 300 yuan, and his heart ached. ¡°Tomorrow? It¡¯s going to be ominous tomorrow!¡± The tattooed man looked at his phone and said loudly. ¡°Go to hell, put away your stinky thing. If you don¡¯t go, I¡¯ll go alone.¡± The big guy was already furious. He would definitely take revenge for the three hundred yuan. The tattooed man was helpless. Since the big guy insisted on going, he couldn¡¯t stay at home alone. Besides, the higher-ups had given them a time limit. There were only a few days left until the birthday ball. The time Du Chengbin gave them was before the ball, so they had to hurry up and settle Jiang Youyi. The next morning, Jiang Youyi woke up early. There was no one at home, and Sister Fang went to buy groceries. She was a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for herself. Halfway through the cooking, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Jiang Youyi opened the door and saw two men in property management clothes. ¡°Hello, Miss Jiang. We¡¯re from property management. We¡¯re here to check on the gas in your house.¡± The tattooed man saw that Jiang Youyi was not on guard, so he immediately repeated the lines he had prepared. ¡°Alright, come in!¡± Jiang Youyi said and made way for the other party to enter. ¡°But your voice is so familiar!¡± Jiang Youyi felt that she had heard the tattooed man¡¯s voice somewhere before. ¡°We¡¯re from property management. We might have called you before,¡± the big guy hurriedly explained when he saw that Jiang Youyi was on guard. ¡°Yes, I think so,¡± Jiang Youyi said as she turned around and walked to the kitchen. ¡°Go ahead and check! I¡¯ll cook some porridge.¡± Looking at Jiang Youyi¡¯s back, the big guy gave the tattooed man a look and asked him to keep watch at the door while he quietly walked behind Jiang Youyi alone. ¡°Do you guys want to eat¡ª¡± Jiang Youyi turned around with the porridge and bumped into the big guy. The freshly cooked porridge spilled all over the big guy. ¡°Mm¡­¡± It was too hot! However, the big guy did not dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting people. ¡°All? Are you alright?¡± Jiang Youyi hurriedly put the porridge back. ¡°I just wanted to ask if you guys wanted to eat. 1 didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Jiang Youyi was shocked and afraid. When had she ever encountered such a thing? ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m fine!¡± The big guy felt so much pain that he was sweating. ¡°No, I have to call 120,¡± Jiang Youyi said hurriedly and turned around. While she wasn¡¯t paying attention, the big guy waved at the tattooed man. The first plan failed, and he began to implement the second plan.. Chapter 92 - Chapter 92: Buying a Dress Chapter 92: Buying a Dress Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When the tattooed man saw the gesture, he took out the electric baton he had prepared in advance and drove it to maximum power. He quietly came behind Jiang Youyi and prepared to stun her. Unexpectedly, Jiang Youyi came over with a basin of cold water and bumped into the tattooed man. The basin of cold water poured down from above. The tattooed man still had an electric baton on. When the water encountered electricity, it knocked the tattooed man down. ¡°Huh? What happened to him?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the fallen tattooed man in confusion. The big man¡¯s sweat turned from hot to cold. ¡°Is he allergic to water?¡± Jiang Youyi had seen on television that if a person was scalded, it would reduce the damage if they quickly rinsed it with cold water. Hence, before she called 120, she got a basin of cold water to wash the big guy. Unexpectedly, she bumped into the tattooed man. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll call 120 now. No, I still have to call 110. I¡¯m responsible. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely take full responsibility. I won¡¯t lose a single cent.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t notice that the big guy¡¯s face was ashen. ¡°No¡­ No need.¡± The big guy endured the pain and said, ¡°You can¡¯t be blamed for this. We didn¡¯t pay attention.¡± As he spoke, he dragged the tattooed man out like he was dragging a dead dog. ¡°Is it really okay?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the two pitiful people. ¡°Yes.¡± The big guy agreed and sped up. Soon, they were out of the Jiang family¡¯s door. Jiang Youyi could only smile as she watched the two of them leave. Du Chengbin would never have thought that the people he sent could not deal with a mere Jiang Youyi. Now that the big guy and the tattooed man had appeared, he definitely could not use them for the next operation. In the afternoon, Jiang Youyi had nothing to do and wanted to go to her own department store to see her brother and sister-in-law. After putting on her makeup, she bumped into her mother. ¡°Mom!¡± Jiang Youyi greeted her mother happily. ¡°Are you going out?¡± Mrs. Jiang asked when she saw that she was dressed neatly. ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m going to the department store to see Brother and Sister-in-law.¡± Jiang Youyi was dressed in sportswear and looked extremely energetic. ¡°It just so happens that I want to go shopping with you. Let¡¯s go together.¡± As Mrs. Jiang spoke, she held Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand and walked out. Finally, she got into her Mercedes-Benz. When they got into the car, Jiang Youyi suddenly realized that her mother might be taking her shopping to choose a gown for Li Tianxin¡¯s birthday party. ¡°Mom, I have a gown,¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°No, it¡¯s a gift from the Xu family. You can¡¯t wear it,¡± Mrs. Jiang said firmly. ¡°I have one more,¡± Jiang Youyi said softly. ¡°Even if it¡¯s a gift from the Lu family, you can¡¯t wear it,¡± Mrs. Jiang continued firmly. ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Youyi was puzzled. After all, she had spent money to ¡®buy¡¯ these two pieces. It would be a pity not to wear them. They were so expensive. As for why her mother knew about the gown, it should be Sister Fang. ¡°The Xu family is in the past. It¡¯s not suitable for you to wear the gown that their family sent over, and you can¡¯t wear the one sent by the Lu family either. Although our family isn¡¯t as rich as their family, it¡¯s more than enough to support the three of you. Mom doesn¡¯t want you to join a wealthy family, do you know that? The old master of the Lu family is a very powerful person. He¡¯s quite strict. You¡¯ll suffer if you marry into their family.¡± Her mother still doted on her daughter. She would rather not let her join a wealthy family than let her live the rest of her life happily. ¡°Who said I¡¯m getting married? Mom, you¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Jiang Youyi only felt that her mother was funny. In Jiang Youyi¡¯s opinion, she had no future with these two people. ¡°1 hope I¡¯m overthinking.¡± Mrs. Jiang smiled and continued driving. They went to their own department store. Although it was not high-end, there were still many domestic brands at the top. Mrs. Jiang picked a few shops she liked and bought a few gowns for Jiang Youyi. The design concept of domestic brands was also very good. Coupled with Jiang Youyi¡¯s slender figure, she looked very good in it. ¡°Mom, didn¡¯t you buy too much?¡± Although it was not expensive and only cost more than 20,000 yuan, Jiang Youyi still felt that it was redundant. ¡°Not much, not at all. In the future, when there¡¯s a banquet, wear these. You can wear them at our company¡¯s annual party.¡± Mom looked at her daughter in sportswear and couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for her. ¡°Look at what you¡¯re wearing now. You have to shop for clothes often in the future.¡± Mrs. Jiang knew that her daughter did not like to buy clothes in the past. Most of the clothes in the wardrobe were given by Xu Yuning. Ever since her daughter broke off the engagement with Xu Yuning, her daughter had packed all the clothes he had given her and given them away. Now, the wardrobe was empty except for a few sportswear and casual clothes.. Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: Chance Encounter Chapter 93: Chance Encounter Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Got it, Mom.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s heart warmed at her mother¡¯s concern. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know.¡± Mrs. Jiang finally smiled when she heard Jiang Youyi¡¯s words. ¡°Mom, you said that my eldest brother looks like Dad, and Second Sister looks like you. I don¡¯t look like anyone. Why? Was I adopted from an orphanage?¡± Jiang Youyi probed. ¡°What are you thinking about all day? Before I gave birth to you, I had a son and a daughter. Why would I adopt you?¡± Mrs. Jiang asked. ¡°That¡¯s true, but why don¡¯t 1 look like you?¡± Jiang Youyi continued to ask. ¡°No matter how much you don¡¯t look like us, you¡¯re still my daughter. I suffered a lot in order to give birth to you! At that time, I was already an old woman. Speaking of which, it¡¯s all your father¡¯s fault. He said that we were fine at our age, but we didn¡¯t take any safety measures and gave birth to a little girl like you.¡± He even smiled at Jiang Youyi. ¡°Mom, you¡¯re so good to me,¡± Jiang Youyi said as she held her mother¡¯s arm. ¡°It¡¯s my duty to treat you well!¡± Mrs. Jiang looked at her obedient daughter and was overjoyed. ¡°Mom, if, 1 mean if, if I really wasn¡¯t your daughter, would you still be so good to me?¡± Jiang Youyi leaned on her mother¡¯s arm and said coquettishly. ¡°There¡¯s no ifs. You¡¯re my daughter,¡± Mrs. Jiang said with certainty. However, what she didn¡¯t know was that it wasn¡¯t that simple. When Mrs. Jiang learned the truth, she burst into tears. Of course, that was all in the future. ¡°By the way, I know a new Michelin restaurant that¡¯s quite delicious. I¡¯ll take you there,¡± Mrs. Jiang continued. ¡°Okay!¡± Jiang Youyi quickly agreed. If she could freeload off a rich woman, why didn¡¯t she hurry up? After a while, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the restaurant and entered. This restaurant was decorated magnificently, making Jiang Youyi feel that it was not a place to eat. It was more like the lobby of a luxury hotel. Coincidentally, they bumped into Lu Yunxiao, Lin Feng, and Wang Jiangbei. ¡°Brother Lu, your girlfriend and mother-in-law are here,¡± Wang Jiangbei said as he looked in Jiang Youyi¡¯s direction. However, before he could say anything, Lu Yunxiao had already seen them. ¡°Do you want to go over and say hi?¡± Lin Feng looked like he was watching a good show. This would probably become a big scene again. As soon as Lin Feng said that, Lu Yunxiao had already walked towards Jiang Youyi. Wang Jiangbei and Lin Feng hurriedly followed. ¡°Youyi.¡± Lu Yunxiao came in front of Jiang Youyi and said with a naughty expression. He had never called her that before. Clearly, he did it on purpose. Jiang Youyi had goosebumps all over. ¡°President Lu? Hello!¡± Mrs. Jiang had seen Lu Yunxiao¡¯s photo on Weibo before, so she remembered it. Moreover, he had a photographic memory. Lu Yunxiao was handsome, and she couldn¡¯t find another man like him in Ocean City. ¡°Hello, Auntie. Are you here for dinner too?¡± Lu Yunxiao said politely. ¡°Yes, I heard that this restaurant is good. I want to bring Youyi here to try it. These two are¡­¡± Mrs. Jiang turned to look at Wang Jiangbei and Lin Feng. ¡°Hello, Auntie. My name is Wang Jiangbei. I am President Lu¡¯s good friend.¡± Wang Jiangbei introduced himself. ¡°Wang Jiangbei? The young master of the Wang Group?¡± Since he was a friend of Lu Yunxiao, he must have an extraordinary family. If she was not wrong, it should be the young master of the Wang Corporation. ¡°My family is the Wang Group.¡± Wang Jiangbei answered immediately. ¡°Really? I¡¯ve met your father a few times before. Our Jiang is on good terms with your father,¡± Mrs. Jiang replied with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s my father¡¯s honor to be friends with you.¡± The Wang Corporation was definitely richer than Jiang Yunfei, but for the sake of Lu Yunxiao, Wang Jiangbei still had to be humble. ¡°How old are you this year?¡± Mrs. Jiang asked at once. ¡°Twenty-eight.¡± Wang Jiangbei answered. ¡°Do you have a girlfriend?¡± Mrs. Jiang asked. ¡°Not yet.¡± Jiangbei didn¡¯t know why Mrs. Jiang was asking that. ¡°Isn¡¯t that great? Youyi doesn¡¯t have a boyfriend either. I think the two of you are quite suitable.¡± Mrs. Jiang hurriedly promoted her daughter. She wasn¡¯t joking. She had high hopes for the Wang family. Wang Jiangbei¡¯s parents were famous for their love. They were low-key and kind. If Jiang Youyi could marry into such a family, she would definitely be happy. ¡°How can 1 be worthy of your daughter?¡± Wang Jiangbei quickly declined, afraid that Lu Yunxiao would be angry with him.. Chapter 94 - Chapter 94: Bullsh*t Chapter 94: Bullsh*t Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lu Yunxiao:¡±¡­¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t think she¡¯s suitable, I still have an elder daughter called Jiang Youtian. You should know that, right?¡± Mrs. Jiang promoted her daughter like a sales master. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t play mahjong anymore. You can be a matchmaker!¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t stop smiling. When Lin Feng heard Jiang Youtian¡¯s name, he hurriedly recommended himself. ¡°Hello, Auntie! My name is Lin Feng. Perfect Pictures is under me. This is my business card.¡± As he spoke, he bowed slightly and handed over his business card. Mrs. Jiang had just taken the business card when Jiang Youyi suddenly saw a figure in the distance. As if she had seen a ghost, she hurriedly pulled her mother out. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have something urgent. Let¡¯s talk another day.¡± She disappeared in front of Lu Yunxiao and the others. The three of them stood rooted to the ground, not knowing why Jiang Youyi was like this. Lin Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°We saw Jiang Youyi and her mother just now, right?¡± Lu Yunxiao noticed Jiang Youyi¡¯s nervous expression before she left. He looked in the direction she had looked before she left. A man in strange clothes was walking over. Lin Feng saw Lu Yunxiao staring into the distance and couldn¡¯t help but look over. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Director Ji and his young master? What a coincidence! They¡¯re here too.¡± Ji Chu? President Ji¡¯s son? How did he know Jiang Youyi? When he investigated Jiang Youyi previously, the information did not say that they knew each other. Could it be that the information he found was wrong? ¡°Did Ji Chu stay overseas to study before?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked. ¡°Well, I¡¯ve never heard of it. I only know that the Ji family has nothing to do with the business circle or the government. Their family is very unconventional. Even their relatives have to queue up to register when they go to their hospital to see a doctor. Why are you asking him?¡± Lin Feng asked. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing,¡± Lu Yunxiao said casually. ¡°Brother Lu, don¡¯t take what Mrs. Jiang said to heart!¡± Wang Jiangbei was still sweating when he thought of what happened just now. He was afraid of offending Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Have you drunk the hundred-year-old Maotai Wine I asked someone to send over?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked. ¡°Not yet! It¡¯s in my basement!¡± Wang Jiangbei answered. ¡°I¡¯m not giving it to you anymore. Give it back,¡± Lu Yunxiao said coldly. ¡°No, how could 1 return the gift I received? Aren¡¯t you a little too stingy?¡± Wang Jiangbei looked helpless. ¡°Also, return the club that you ordered a few days ago,¡± Lu Yunxiao continued coldly. ¡°No, do you really want to do this? Mrs. Jiang asked me to date Jiang Youyi, but 1 didn¡¯t agree!¡± Wang Jiangbei said aggrievedly. ¡°How could my mother-in-law be wrong? You¡¯re the one in the wrong. Who asked you to appear in front of her?¡± Lu Yunxiao had a cynical expression. ¡°Lin Feng, come and judge.¡± Wang Jiangbei saw that Lu Yunxiao could not be reasoned with, so he asked Lin Feng to come and judge. Lin Feng only smiled. ¡°Our Brother Lu is jealous. Consider yourself unlucky!¡± ¡°Sigh!¡± Wang Jiangbei could only sigh helplessly. Who knew what was wrong with Mrs. Jiang? She had taken a fancy to him so quickly. Fortunately, she did not let him go home with her for dinner. Otherwise, Lu Yunxiao would not just take the things back. After returning to the company in the afternoon, Lu Yunxiao held a high-level meeting. It was probably to report the recent work progress. After a young executive reported, a middle-aged executive continued, ¡°In addition to this, there¡¯s another piece of news in Ocean City. The Wu family used to be in the real estate and coal business. Now, they suddenly want to start a private bank. Although they¡¯re using the excuse of a financial institution, they¡¯re doing it. They even said that they want to attract our customers to them. The interest is twice as high as ours until we go bankrupt.¡± When Lu Yunxiao heard this, he frowned slightly. There was no other expression on his face. Instead, he asked, ¡°What do you think of this?¡± ¡°I think they¡¯re going overboard. All these years, they¡¯ve been expanding their business territory, maliciously competing, disturbing the market, and causing many companies to lose everything. They¡¯re really not following the rules.¡± ¡°I also heard that Wu Chen spouted nonsense at a drinking party. His words were very unpleasant.¡± ¡°How is it unpleasant? Tell me.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s tone was calm. ¡°He said that as long as it¡¯s something from you, President Lu, he wants it, including women.¡± After the higher-ups finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent, as if they were waiting for Lu Yunxiao to flare up. However, Lu Yunxiao only said very calmly, ¡°All these years, many people have wanted to defeat me and my father, but they couldn¡¯t do it no matter what. Instead, they facilitated the Qihe Corporation. We have nothing to be afraid of..¡± Chapter 95 - Chapter 95: This Is For You Chapter 95: This Is For You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°That¡¯s all. Meeting adjourned!¡± With that, Lu Yunxiao left the meeting room, leaving everyone sighing. Lu Yunxiao was like this because he didn¡¯t think highly of Wu Chen at all. Their family had indeed done well all these years because they had the support of big shots behind them. As a result, Wu Chen could even do something like an underground money house. However, Lu Yunxiao still did not take it seriously. The reason was that Wu Chen was not worthy. When he returned to his office, his assistant came to report. ¡°President Lu, there¡¯s already news from Country Y.¡± ¡°What did he say?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked. ¡°Says the man we¡¯re looking for has left Country Y. Someone saw him in Laos. Someone else said he saw him in South America. The two places are too far apart. We might need to investigate further, but it¡¯s good to have news. It means we¡¯ve made progress.¡± The assistant explained in detail. ¡°That¡¯s good. Just continue investigating,¡± Lu Yunxiao continued. ¡°Okay. By the way, President Lu, there¡¯s one more thing.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Miss Bai asked someone to send a gift for you,¡± the assistant said as he took out a gift box and placed it in front of Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Open it!¡± When Lu Yunxiao heard that it was a gift from Bai Bing, he didn¡¯t even have the mood to open it. ¡°Yes,¡± the assistant agreed, then opened the gift. This kind of gift was the least exciting. Lu Yunxiao was not interested at all. ¡°President Lu, it¡¯s a bow tie. No wonder the box is so small. Although it¡¯s small, Miss Bai has put in a lot of effort. I¡¯ve seen this style online. It¡¯s all limited edition. It has to be customized three months in advance,¡± the assistant said excitedly. He knew that his president was not interested in women, but Miss Bai was different. They grew up together, so it should be different! Of course, other than Miss Bai, Miss Jiang seemed to have entered the president¡¯s life again recently. The president seemed to be more interested in Miss Jiang. Now, he didn¡¯t even know who the president liked. ¡°Are you putting in a good word for Bai Bing?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked coldly. The assistant could tell that the president was angry. ¡°No, I¡¯m just saying what I think.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t express it casually in the future. I don¡¯t like it.¡± Lu Yunxiao was still cold. ¡°Got it.¡± The assistant was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe loudly. ¡°Also, tell them to help me investigate someone.¡± A trace of coldness flashed across Lu Yunxiao¡¯s eyes. ¡°Who?¡± the assistant asked cautiously. ¡°Ji Chu.¡± ¡°Ji Chu, a neuroscience professor from Ocean City Medical University¡¯s affiliated hospital?¡± the assistant hurriedly asked. ¡°Yes! Get someone to investigate how he met Jiang Youyi previously.¡± Lu Yunxiao was frustrated, but he couldn¡¯t explain why. He only knew that from Jiang Youyi¡¯s eyes, he could tell that she had known Ji Chu before and had a deep relationship with him. What was the purpose of Jiang Youyi¡¯s escape? Even Jiang Youyi wouldn¡¯t be like this when she saw Xu Yuning. Was he worthy? ¡°Yes,¡± the assistant agreed. ¡°Then¡­ should 1 help you put away the bow tie Miss Bai sent?¡± ¡°No need. Leave it here!¡± Lu Yunxiao looked at the orange box. The assistant scratched his head as soon as he stepped out of the door. He was getting more and more confused about his president. His attitude was unpredictable. Who did he like? It was obvious that Miss Bai wanted the president to wear the bow tie on Miss Li¡¯s birthday, but would he wear it? At night, Lu Yunxiao returned to the Lu Family¡¯s old residence. ¡°Yunxiao, you¡¯re back?¡± When Du Meihong saw Lu Yunxiao return, she hurriedly went forward to greet him warmly. She had been like this for so many years. Whenever she saw Lu Yunxiao return, she would be very enthusiastic. Of course, this was all an act. However, after so many years, she was really professional and determined. ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Yunxiao agreed. He didn¡¯t waste his breath on Du Meihong. Lu Yunxiao felt that not only was this simple, but it wouldn¡¯t increase the conflict. It couldn¡¯t be better. Lu Yunxiao walked to Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s side and sat down. ¡°Dad!¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was reading a magazine. When he saw that his son had returned, he took off the mirror and said, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve eaten,¡± Lu Yunxiao agreed casually. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an put down the magazine in his hand and looked at his son. Ever since his son moved out of the old residence, he rarely contacted him. Unless he took the initiative to call him back for dinner, he would only answer the phone. Every time he took the initiative to go home, he either had something to do or something to do. ¡°This is for you.¡± As he spoke, Lu Yunxiao handed an orange box to Lu Guo¡¯an. It was the one that Bai Bing had sent over during the day.. Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: Delivery Chapter 96: Delivery Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Lu Guo¡¯an opened the box, he saw a bow tie. This kind of gift was not surprising, but at his age, he really rarely used these. ¡°Why do you want to give me this?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was very puzzled. ¡°I didn¡¯t give it to you. Bai Bing gave it to you.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s emotions were calm. ¡°Bai Bing gave it to me? Why didn¡¯t she give it to me herself, and even through you?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an saw through the clues. ¡°Maybe she feels that you¡¯re strict and doesn¡¯t dare to send it to you personally!¡± Lu Yunxiao said a little harshly, but the truth was that Lu Guo¡¯an was really strict and difficult to deal with. ¡°Bai Bing has put in a lot of effort. By the way, interact more with her. I¡¯m going to hold a wedding for you next year.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an seemed to have forgotten why he had fallen out with Lu Yunxiao last time. This time, he brought it up again. However, Lu Yunxiao wasn¡¯t that radical this time. He knew that it was useless to refute, so he didn¡¯t agree or deny it. ¡°The gift has been delivered. I¡¯ll leave first,¡± Lu Yunxiao said and was about to stand up. ¡°Wait a minute. You have to go to Secretary Li¡¯s daughter, Li Tianxin¡¯s, birthday banquet in a few days.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an deliberately reminded him, afraid that his arrogant son would not give Secretary Li face. In fact, Lu Yunxiao did not care about Secretary Li or Secretary Li¡¯s daughter at all, but he would go. ¡°I understand.¡± With that, Lu Yunxiao stood up and walked out. When Du Meihong saw Lu Yunxiao leave, she hurriedly went to the old man. When she saw the gift from Lu Yunxiao, she hurriedly flattered him. ¡°This is a limited edition Hermes. I¡¯ve wanted to order it for you for a long time, but I couldn¡¯t. This bow tie isn¡¯t tight and is expensive. It¡¯s also very popular. Yunxiao is really considerate. He must have bought this to coax you because he got angry with you last time.¡± The advantage of Du Meihong was that she could speak and had a high EQ. She specially chose what Lu Guo¡¯an liked to hear. Moreover, she never badmouthed Lu Yunxiao. Lu Guo¡¯an had been in the business world for so many years. His brain was not given to him for nothing. If Du Meihong had instigated him, he would have seen it. How could he let Du Meihong stay by his side? Therefore, there was a reason why Du Meihong could stay by Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s side for so many years. ¡°He didn¡¯t send it,¡± Lu Guo¡¯an replied. ¡°Then who gave it to him?¡± Du Meihong pretended not to understand, but she knew very well in her heart. Why would Lu Yunxiao give his father a gift? ¡°It¡¯s from Bai Bing. She¡¯s considerate.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was very sure that this gift was from Bai Bing, but Du Meihong did not think so. She took the bow tie and looked at it carefully. There were colorful spots on the bow tie, which was more suitable for young people. It was obviously for Lu Yunxiao. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t like it, so he gave it to Lu Guo¡¯an. ¡°Yes, this child has always been sensible,¡± Du Meihong echoed. At night, when Du Meihong was taking a bath in the bathroom, she picked up her phone and sent Bai Bing a WeChat message. ¡°Bai Bing, Uncle Lu likes the bow tie you gave him, but it¡¯s too expensive. Don¡¯t spend so much money next time.¡± After more than ten minutes, Bai Bing replied, ¡°As long as Uncle Lu likes it.¡± Although Bai Bing admitted to this, Du Meihong still felt that this was for Lu Yunxiao. Usually, Bai Bing would reply to her messages instantly. This time, it took more than ten minutes. She was clearly thinking. When Bai Bing found out that Lu Yunxiao had given the bow tie to his father, tears fell uncontrollably. She had spent a long time preparing this gift and even pulled strings. She did not expect Lu Yunxiao to not cherish it. At this moment, Bai Bing¡¯s mother, Mrs. Bai, knocked on her door. When she saw her daughter crying, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing. 1 just feel that Lu Yunxiao is not interested in me,¡± Bai Bing said sadly. ¡°Sigh! So it¡¯s because of such a small matter! The heavens don¡¯t disappoint hardworking people. As long as you work hard, you won¡¯t fail.¡± Mrs. Bai was experienced and had an extremely high EQ. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have become a close friend of the deceased Madam Lu. In her opinion, it was a piece of cake for a woman to chase after a man. Lu Yunxiao did not feel anything because he did not see the highlights on Bai Bing. ¡°Really?¡± Bai Bing asked with tears in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s true. Mrs. Li helped at this ball. I¡¯ll let you show it when the time comes. As long as you perform well, I don¡¯t believe that Lu Yunxiao won¡¯t be tempted by you.¡± Mrs. Bai had already paid a visit to Mrs. Li before the ball so that her daughter could show off at the ball. Men! They were all hunting animals. When he saw that so many dignitaries liked his daughter, he would definitely fight for her.. Chapter 97 - Chapter 97:1 Changed My Name Chapter 97:1 Changed My Name Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Speaking of which, Mrs. Bai was really a social expert. Previously, she was good friends with Mrs. Lu, and now, she had hooked up with Mrs. Li. She was playing with connections! If not for Mrs. Bai, the social bull, the current Bai family would not have existed. ¡°But I¡¯ve checked Jiang Youyi¡¯s information before. Whether she¡¯s in China or overseas, I can¡¯t find anything. This makes me feel very strange.¡± Bai Bing couldn¡¯t help but feel a little uneasy. ¡°Isn¡¯t that better? It¡¯s a piece of white paper. We could just draw anything on it.¡± Mrs. Bai clearly meant something. Bai Bing also understood what she meant. She wanted her to frame Jiang Youyi. ¡°Mom, you mean¡­¡± Bai Bing wanted to confirm again. ¡°I believe that my daughter is very smart and knows what to do.¡± Mrs. Bai also stopped at nothing, even to her daughter. This was also the reason why she was so prosperous in the world of fame and fortune. Mrs. Bai was very scheming, but she hid herself very well. In the Jiang Family¡¯s villa. Jiang Youyi was about to sleep when she received a WeChat message from Wu Di. Wu Di: ¡°I saw online that you¡¯re going to Secretary Li¡¯s daughter¡¯s birthday party?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Yes.¡± Wu Di: ¡°Your sister complained in our group chat that you don¡¯t even have a formal gown for a ball.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I don¡¯t like to buy clothes.¡± Wu Di: ¡°You¡¯re really unreliable! It just so happens that I have connections. I can lend you a gown. You don¡¯t have to spend money. Just wear it carefully. If you wear it, you can return it. It¡¯s no big deal.¡± Jiang Youyi knew that it was not easy for a C-list celebrity like Wu Di to borrow clothes from the brand. For her, she actually borrowed them. How interesting. However, her sister was different. The brands all sent gowns over. Jiang Youyi: ¡°No need. My mother bought me a lot of sets. Although they¡¯re domestically made and I¡¯m wearing them well, I still have to thank you for your trouble.¡± She thought that Wu Di was indeed a good person. Otherwise, her sister would not have introduced him to her. It was just that they were really not compatible. In a place like the entertainment industry, good people would go crazy if they went. Wu Di was really a little crazy. Wu Di: ¡°Alright then! By the way, I changed my name. My agent said that my name is too ordinary and not easy to become popular. My name is Wu Xiuxian now. It¡¯s very Korean.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Okay, Mr. Wu Xiuxian.¡± Wu Di: ¡°Sigh! I really like you, but you¡­¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I¡¯ll stop talking. I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Hearing that, Jiang Youyi wanted to run away. Aiya! The ball is the day after tomorrow. I¡¯m quite excited just thinking about it, Jiang Youyi thought to herself. Other girls would feel a little nervous at such a high-end ball. Only people like Jiang Youyi would feel excited and think that something fun would happen. In the suburban club, Du Chengbin drunkenly carried a young model downstairs. When he saw Bai Peng downstairs, he suddenly thought of that matter. ¡°Dapeng, how¡¯s it going?¡± It would have been better if he hadn¡¯t mentioned it, but Bai Peng panicked when he mentioned it. He didn¡¯t dare to tell Du Chengbin the truth. He would never have thought that his two capable subordinates could not deal with a mere Jiang Youyi. What was even more ridiculous was that the process of this matter was extremely puzzling. In Bai Peng¡¯s opinion, it was too coincidental. It was unbelievable that Jiang Youyi had unknowingly defeated two of his capable subordinates. ¡°It¡¯s not done yet. That woman hasn¡¯t gone out yet!¡± Bai Peng nodded and bowed. He knew that Du Chengbin had a bad temper, so he was very careful. ¡°If she doesn¡¯t go out, can¡¯t you just trick her out? Idiot.¡± Du Chengbin was indeed angry. ¡°This woman is very cunning. She deceived us many times, and it didn¡¯t succeed.¡± Bai Peng hurriedly explained. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you disguise yourself and go to her house to get her?¡± Du Chengbin was furious. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to, but there are many high-ranking officials living in her neighborhood. The management is very strict. There are also security guards on duty. It¡¯s really difficult to disguise myself.¡± Bai Peng¡¯s legs began to tremble. ¡°Idiot, the ball is about to begin. What am I going to do with you if the matter isn¡¯t settled yet?¡± Du Chengbin went up to kick him, but because he had drunk too much, he missed. ¡°Brother Bin, I think we should do it after the ball! Sister Hong didn¡¯t say that she¡¯s not allowed to go to the ball. Besides, the ball was organized by Secretary Li¡¯s family, and the name list was announced online. If she doesn¡¯t appear at the ball, I¡¯m afraid the Li family will investigate! For the sake of caution, I think it¡¯s better to deal with her after the ball.¡± Bai Peng hurriedly found an excuse for himself.. Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: Not Stealing the Limelight Chapter 98: Not Stealing the Limelight Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say!¡± Du Chengbin also felt that what Bai Peng said made sense, so he listened to him. To be honest, Bai Peng had already gone to the hospital to see the big guy and the tattooed man. Both of them were seriously injured. One was burned, and the other was almost electrocuted to death. A little girl could actually do this by coincidence. Could it be that she had some sorcery? Ocean City¡¯s three heroes. Wang Jiangbei: ¡°Jiang Youtian confessed her love to me.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Are you dreaming?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°Really.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°She asked me to take care of her sister at her birthday party.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°She talked to me for five minutes. Isn¡¯t it obvious?¡± Lin Feng: ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t even be enough as a spare tire, right?¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°You¡¯re jealous.¡± Lin Feng: ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°I heard that there are many segments of this ball. Many people have received the news, but only Jiang Youyi hasn¡¯t. Why do you think so?¡± Lin Feng: ¡°Maybe she offended someone.¡± Wang Jiangbei: ¡°Brother Lu, I¡¯m counting on you this time.¡± Lu Yunxiao said, ¡°She doesn¡¯t need it. She¡¯ll surprise you.¡± These words were filled with anticipation! It seemed like Lu Yunxiao was looking forward to Jiang Youyi¡¯s performance. At this moment, someone knocked on Lu Yunxiao¡¯s door. ¡°President Lu, Wild Wolf is here.¡± Who was Wild Wolf? Wild Wolf was a fierce general under Lu Yunxiao. His main job was to investigate whoever he wanted. As long as they were in the world, there was nothing he couldn¡¯t find. ¡°Let him in,¡± Lu Yunxiao said to the door. Then, an ordinary-looking man in his early thirties walked in. He was so ordinary that he could reach the dust. Not only did he look ordinary, but he also wore ordinary clothes. He would definitely not be remembered in the crowd. It was worlds apart from the detectives in television dramas. However, such a person was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s trusted aide in recent years. He was not his father¡¯s subordinate, but his own. ¡°President,¡± Wild Wolf greeted as he entered. ¡°How¡¯s the matter 1 asked you to investigate?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t find any interaction between the two of them. Be it domestically or overseas, Jiang Youyi and Ji Chu didn¡¯t have any interaction. During this period, Ji Chu went overseas, but the country he went to wasn¡¯t the country where Jiang Youyi went to school. ¡°Jiang Youyi hasn¡¯t had anything to do with the Ji family in the past few years, including Ji Chu¡¯s parents.¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Of course, Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t believe it. From Jiang Youyi¡¯s gaze, Lu Yunxiao could tell that their relationship wasn¡¯t ordinary. ¡°I also find it strange. Jiang Youyi¡¯s resume is very unusual. Perhaps every time they meet, they do it very secretly and deliberately not let anyone notice,¡± Wild Wolf analyzed. ¡°Why?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked. Wild Wolf pondered for a moment. ¡°I think there might be an extraordinary relationship between them.¡± The unusual relationship Wild Wolves mentioned did not just refer to the relationship between a man and a woman. It might be about benefits or hostility. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Lu Yunxiao sighed softly. ¡°Then should we continue investigating?¡± Wild Wolf asked. ¡°There¡¯s no need to investigate anymore. Just continue to investigate what I told you before,¡± Lu Yunxiao instructed. ¡°Yes,¡± Wild Wolf agreed. ¡°You can leave! I¡¯m going to rest.¡± Lu Yunxiao waved at the wolf. After he left, Lu Yunxiao started tossing and turning. What was the reason? He couldn¡¯t find anything. With Wild Wolf¡¯s ability, he would be able to find any clues. So, was Jiang Youyi too cunning or was the problem with Ji Chu? What exactly was their relationship? The next day, Li Tianxin¡¯s birthday party officially began. The birthday ball was held in Ocean City¡¯s most famous Rona Manor. A meal here was very expensive, but it was booked by the Li family. They also invited people from the television station. The hosts were all famous hosts in Ocean City and Bai Bing¡¯s colleagues. There was also a red carpet event. More than a dozen cameras worked at the same time to record this beautiful moment. Those attending the ball could come alone or bring their male companions or female companions. Jiang Youyi chose to come alone. Her brother was already married and did not meet the requirements for a male companion. Her sister was filming overseas and did not have time. Mirs. Jiang had long stopped attending such events, so she did not follow her. Moreover, among the many gowns, Jiang Youyi chose the most ordinary one. It was nude and without any decorations, just like an ordinary dress. It was so that she would not steal the limelight from the protagonist.. Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: Calm Chapter 99: Calm Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It had begun to snow in the early winter in the north. It had been snowing since morning, adding a lot of romance to the winter. A male and female host stood on the red carpet and looked at Bai Bing, who was slowly walking over from afar. The male host¡¯s voice was high-pitched. ¡°The one entering the venue now is our Ocean City¡¯s famous female host, Miss Bai Bing.¡± His voice was especially loud. As expected of Bai Bing¡¯s colleague, he gave her face. Bai Bing was wearing an aqua blue lace gown that was inlaid with crystals. It exposed her back and was rather scheming. However, it had to be said that this gown suited her very well. There was nothing tacky about it. It was completely elegant. Her fair and tender back was exposed, and she was especially eye-catching. She was one of the people who received the most attention today, and she attracted a wave of cheers. Bai Bing still had quite a number of fans. ¡°Bai Bing is indeed beautiful. She has been a beauty since she was young.¡± Mrs. Li could not help but praise Bai Bing. ¡°Not at all. Tianxin is still the gentlest. It¡¯s better for girls to be gentle.¡± It was not that Bai Bing was not gentle, but she was usually in the workplace and could not help but be a little domineering. However, she still gave her gentleness to Lu Yunxiao. However, Lu Yunxiao did not even look at her, even though she was exceptionally beautiful today. Lin Feng felt that it was not bad. ¡°Bai Bing is very beautiful and sexy today! She usually dresses very conservatively, but today is an exception.¡± Lin Feng knew that Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t like Bai Bing at all, so he dared to say that. Otherwise, how would he dare? ¡°But Brother Lu¡¯s eyes are not on her!¡± Wang Jiangbei looked at Lu Yunxiao. He was looking into the distance. ¡°Are you waiting for Jiang Youyi?¡± ¡°I¡¯m waiting for Xu Yuning!¡± Lu Yunxiao retorted. Wang Jiangbei:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Haha! Brother Wang, you have your moments too!¡± Lin Feng laughed. Clearly, Lu Yunxiao was not waiting for Xu Yuning, he was just giving Wang Jiangbei a cold shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s so cold!¡± Wang Jiangbei complained. Coincidentally, the next person to appear was really Xu Yuning. The host looked at the two people who were slowly walking over and hurriedly said, ¡°Welcome, the crown prince of the Jiashi Foundation, Xu Yuning, and his sister, Xu Pingping.¡± The Jiashi Foundation had been doing very well in Ocean City in recent years and was part of the upper-class social circle. Therefore, it was not surprising that Xu Pingping¡¯s name was on the list. Xu Yuning was wearing a beige suit and looked very handsome. His sister, Xu Pingping, had yet to graduate from university and was at the age of a flower. She looked even more like a peach that looked juicy. Xu Pingping¡¯s gown was also carefully chosen by Mrs. Xu. It was princess-style. The layers of gauze were decorated with blue gems, making her look noble and cute. This gown was even more expensive than the one Jiang Youyi wore when she returned home. Moreover, there were people who called Xu Yuning Hubby. When Lin Feng heard someone call Xu Yuning Hubby, he could not help but say disdainfully, ¡°He still has fans? Are they blind?¡± Lin Feng looked down on Xu Yuning. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you be famous if your engagement was called off?¡± Wang Jiangbei said with a smile. ¡°Alright, I don¡¯t need it. If I become famous in that way, my father will probably chop me up.¡± He¡¯s noble! He didn¡¯t like crooked methods. After Xu Yuning and his sister walked across the red carpet, Wu Chen and his sister, Wu Yan, came from afar. When the host saw this, he hurriedly said, ¡°Welcome Xinglong Real Estate¡¯s Crown Prince, Wu Chen, and her sister, Wu Yan.¡± ¡°F*ck, why is this guy here? Doesn¡¯t he have a girlfriend? He¡¯s so shameless.¡± Lin Feng was surprised to see Wu Chen. ¡°Who said that you can¡¯t come if you have a girlfriend? Don¡¯t you know that this person has always been so shameless? He even likes to join in the fun. Nothing good will happen wherever he is. We should be careful.¡± Wang Jiangbei didn¡¯t like Wu Chen either. He had done a lot of dirty business over the years and his methods were disgusting. He didn¡¯t have a good impression of him at all. Then, the host welcomed the guests one by one until it was finally Jiang Youyi¡¯s turn. ¡°The next person walking towards us is the beloved daughter of middle-level entrepreneur Jiang Yunfei, Miss Jiang Youyi. Welcome to the venue.¡± As the host spoke, Jiang Youyi slowly walked over. Jiang Youyi came to the center of the red carpet alone. Not only was she dressed normally, but she didn¡¯t even put on makeup. However, it still couldn¡¯t hide her beauty. ¡°Mid-level entrepreneur? This host is deliberately lowering Jiang Youyi¡¯s value, right?¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, did you get the name wrong? Did you do it on purpose?¡± Lin Feng and Wang Jiangbei exchanged a few words. Lu Yunxiao, on the other hand, looked in Jiang Youyi¡¯s direction and remained silent. There was no expression on her face, and she was very calm.. Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: Hedgehog Chapter 100: Hedgehog Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi walked alone on the red carpet when she suddenly heard someone mock, ¡°A middle-level company shouldn¡¯t be qualified to attend such a ball, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Look at what she¡¯s wearing. She looks like a country bumpkin. What¡¯s she thinking?¡± ¡°This woman is too old-fashioned, really too old-fashioned.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, I¡¯ve never heard of this name!¡± ¡°It should be Jiang Youyi, right? The one who broke off the engagement with Xu Yuning a while ago.¡± ¡°Is such a person worthy of coming here? Her family background is not worthy of the Xu family at all.¡± ¡°Bumpkin!¡± The person who said that Jiang Youyi was a country bumpkin was also one of the socialites attending the ball. She was the daughter of the fruit king, Liu Mingsheng, Liu Xiaoyan. Liu Xiaoyan did not have a good reputation in the socialite circle. The main reason was that her words were unpleasant. Now, she was mocking Jiang Youyi again, causing the surrounding people to laugh. Jiang Youyi glanced at Liu Xiaoyan when she passed by, but she didn¡¯t flare up. Instead, Liu Xiaoyan felt a little guilty. However, in order to maintain her dignity, she still said, ¡°If I had known that she would come, I wouldn¡¯t have come. It¡¯s really disappointing to attend a ball with such a person.¡± The socialites beside her also mocked. Jiang Youyi did not seem to care what they said. Instead, she walked to the etiquette lady as light as a swallow, took a pen, and neatly wrote her name on the signing wall. Walking to the host¡¯s side, Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°I¡¯ve seen your show!¡± When the male host heard this, he was very happy. He felt that Jiang Youyi might be his fan or she said this to please him. ¡°Are you my fan?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so! But I think your hosting is very unique,¡± Jiang Youyi continued obediently. ¡°Unique?¡± The host really wanted to know where his advantage was in Jiang Youyi¡¯s eyes. ¡°You have a big tongue, so 1 remember it very clearly. Your tongue is so cute that it seems to have been permed with a curling iron. In order to make people remember you at a glance, I can understand why you¡¯re like this. However, I still have to remind you that my name is Jiang Youyi, not Jiang Youyi.¡± ¡°Repeat after me. Yi,¡± Jiang Youyi instructed seriously. ¡°D*mn, no way? Hahaha!¡± Lin Feng burst into laughter when he saw Jiang Youyi like this. ¡°She¡¯s not here to cause trouble, is she?¡± Wang Jiangbei was also shocked. ¡°Brother Wang, did you know that she would do this?¡± Lin Feng immediately retracted his smile and asked. Lu Yunxiao only smiled slightly. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t find it strange. Jiang Youyi had always been unwilling to suffer losses, so it was reasonable for her to do such a thing. However, in Bai Bing¡¯s opinion, Jiang Youyi¡¯s actions shocked her. That male host was her admirer. He had confessed to her a few times, but he had been rejected. It was also through Bai Bing¡¯s connections that he was able to get the host of this ball. Of course, he was speaking for Bai Bing. He only heard Mrs. Bai say a few words about Jiang Youyi and knew that Mrs. Bai didn¡¯t like Jiang Youyi. That was why he deliberately pronounced Jiang Youyi¡¯s name incorrectly on the red carpet. He didn¡¯t expect Jiang Youyi to be so quick-witted and kill him in an instant. ¡°Miss Jiang, I heard that socialites are all very cultured. I just read your name wrongly. Aren¡¯t you too petty to be so mean to me?¡± Now, the male host even had the intention to cry. He was a dignified host, but he was actually called a big-tongued person. How could he work in the future? ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a socialite? But I clearly heard you say that I¡¯m the daughter of a middle-level entrepreneur just now. That shouldn¡¯t be considered a socialite, right? Also, you misunderstood something. I¡¯m not being mean to you. I¡¯m teaching you how to spell my name. You¡¯re not modest and are blaming me. Isn¡¯t that a little too much?¡± Jiang Youyi said firmly. The host:¡±¡­¡± At the same time, Xu Yuning and his sister, who were at the side, also saw the matter. Xu Pingping saw that her brother was about to step forward and speak up for Sister Youyi. However, he did not expect Jiang Youyi to settle the matter herself. The siblings did not expect Jiang Youyi to be like this. In Xu Pingping¡¯s eyes, Jiang Youyi was not such a powerful figure. ¡°Brother, do you think Sister Youyi has changed a little?¡± Xu Pingping couldn¡¯t help but ask. Xu Yuning did not speak at first. Indeed, the Jiang Youyi he saw today was a little different from her previous self. They had known each other for a long time and had been in a relationship for a year and a half. Previously, when Jiang Youyi¡¯s shoes were stepped on, she didn¡¯t argue with anyone and said that she was fine.. Why was she like a hedgehog today? Chapter 101 - Chapter 101: Ruining Jiang Youyis Reputation Chapter 101: Ruining Jiang Youyi¡¯s Reputation Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wu Chen and Wu Yan were also watching Jiang Youyi¡¯s performance. Wu Chen looked at Jiang Youyi and smiled strangely. She knew that Jiang Youyi would not suffer in silence. She was someone who had cheated him of his money, not an obedient girl. From the start, she had been targeted by the host. Presumably, there was still a trap waiting for her to jump into. She was right to come today. She could watch a good show. ¡°Chen, where did this woman come from?¡± Wu Yan had never seen Jiang Youyi before, so he naturally did not know. ¡°Oh, the girl who broke off the engagement with Xu Yuning,¡± Wu Chen explained. ¡°It¡¯s her? She did such a shameless thing and still dares to appear here?¡± ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t seem to like her?¡± Wu Chen was puzzled. They had just met, so why were they so hostile? ¡°I just feel that it¡¯s not worth it for Xu Yuning. He loved her for so many years, but this woman turned around and announced that she liked someone else. What¡¯s so great about such a woman? Watch how I deal with her later.¡± After saying that, she even looked in Xu Yuning¡¯s direction. Wu Chen frowned and wondered if she was interested in Xu Yuning again. His sister loved plastic surgery and felt that she was the most beautiful in the world. She even had a bit of a love brain. She had wooed almost all the rich children in Ocean City, but none of them were willing to marry her. ¡°Yuning, 1 heard Wu Chen tell me about you and Jiang Youyi. Since we¡¯ve already separated, I¡¯m sorry for your loss.¡± Wu Yan walked to Xu Yuning¡¯s side and was furious. Xu Yuning was speechless. In the end, he could not help but say, ¡°Jiang Youyi is still alive.¡± Xu Yuning was clearly a little unhappy. ¡°She¡¯s alive, but in your heart, you can treat her as dead. She let you down. It¡¯s her fault. Don¡¯t sacrifice for her anymore. It¡¯s not worth it.¡± Xu Yuning was speechless again. He thought to himself, The two of us don¡¯t seem to have met much. Do you have to be so involved in my matters? ¡°Also, there¡¯s a ballroom dance segment later. Why don¡¯t you be in the same group as me?¡± ¡°Well¡­ We¡¯ll talk about it when the time comes! I still have something on. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± With that, Xu Yuning quickly slipped away. ¡°Brother, why do I feel that Wu Yan likes you?¡± Xu Pingping felt that Wu Yan was too enthusiastic. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. She¡¯s like this to all men. She¡¯s purely a love brain.¡± Xu Yuning¡¯s relationship with Wu Chen was quite good, so he had some understanding of Wu Yan. This love-struck fool had a very strange personality. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be unmarried at her age. After arguing with the host for a long time, Jiang Youyi finally convinced the host and prepared to leave. At this moment, a man with a good figure suddenly rushed over and lay in front of Jiang Youyi. ¡°Miss Jiang, you asked me to drink with you yesterday and haven¡¯t given me money! We live on tips in this industry. You can¡¯t go back on your word!¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. The man¡¯s voice was very loud, and everyone present could hear him. They all looked at Jiang Youyi strangely. ¡°It¡¯s fine if she¡¯s from a small family, but she found someone to drink with and didn¡¯t pay. Isn¡¯t she too shameless?¡± Liu Xiaoyan mocked, looking like she was watching a good show. The socialite Xie Zhenzhen glanced at Jiang Youyi and started to laugh, but she did not comment. ¡°Zhenzhen, have you seen such a shameless person?¡± Liu Xiaoyan asked. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen her before. 1 don¡¯t know why Xu Yuning likes her. She doesn¡¯t seem to have any good points anymore.¡± Xie Zhenzhen shook her head as she spoke. Among these people, only Bai Bing was calm. She did not say anything. Saying such things would lower her status. She liked to watch a good show and did not like to comment too much. Some mocking words would make people feel very lowly. Everyone looked at Jiang Youyi strangely to see how she was going to clean up the mess. Unexpectedly, Jiang Youyi walked to the man¡¯s side calmly and lowered her head to ask, ¡°You said that I wanted you to drink with me, so where did we drink? Bar? KTV? Restaurant?¡± The man hesitated for a moment and made up a story. ¡°It was at KTV.¡± ¡°Which KTV is it? Which private room is it? Is there anyone else around me?¡± Jiang Youyi asked word by word. ¡°Hurry up and give me the money. Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense.¡± The man was obviously guilty. He only cared about collecting money and doing things. He didn¡¯t think too much about anything else. The person who hired him also said that as long as he shouted at the scene, it would be fine. The main thing was to ruin Jiang Youyi¡¯s reputation. If Jiang Youyi was angry, she could just hit him and scold him. The person who hired him was obviously very sinister and knew how important reputation was to women. As long as her reputation was ruined, it would be difficult to explain later. Everyone would not listen to her explanation and would only remember the dirty things she had done. If it was an ordinary person, this method would definitely be easy to deal with. As long as he made a simple fuss, the audience would believe him.. Chapter 102 - Chapter 102: Watching From the Sidelines Chapter 102: Watching From the Sidelines Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Moreover, there were many media outlets here who couldn¡¯t wait to watch the show so that they could write an eye-catching article tomorrow. As long as they wrote it, even if she was an innocent and pleasant girl, she would become a shameless person. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to pay, but I have to spend this money clearly. Tell me, which private room am 1 in? Who did I go with? When did 1 go? When did I leave? What wine did 1 drink? How long have you been with me? 1 have to know all of this before I can give you money!¡± Jiang Youyi was not being sarcastic. She was actually teasing him and was not afraid at all. She had expected such a thing to happen. When she saw the list published online, she felt that today would definitely be extraordinary. She had guessed correctly. ¡°Fuck, even such a woman would come here? How unlucky. Hurry up and leave! Don¡¯t embarrass yourself here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! How unlucky and embarrassing.¡± ¡°This woman doesn¡¯t seem to have a good reputation. I can always find her online. Is she here to hype things up?¡± ¡°If something like this happened in my house, my father would beat me to death.¡± ¡°Maybe the Jiang family¡¯s upbringing isn¡¯t strict enough!¡± *** The people around her began to discuss. Jiang Youyi had no friends here, so no one would speak up for her. What they said to her was basically insulting. This group of people wished they could chase Jiang Youyi out. In their eyes, Jiang Youyi was not worthy of coming to such a place. At that moment, Mrs. Li strolled over. She was also attracted by the commotion. This was their family¡¯s ball, and she didn¡¯t want any troubles occuring. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Mrs. Li came to Jiang Youyi and the man. She was wearing a royal blue gown with precious pearls embedded in it. The necklace around her neck looks expensive, and her aura was outstanding. ¡°This person asked me to drink with her, but she didn¡¯t give me any money. I¡¯m here to ask for money.¡± The man saw that Mrs. Li had an extraordinary temperament and thought that she must be a big shot, so he hurriedly shouted, hoping to make things worse. Mrs. Li glanced at the man and turned to Jiang Youyi. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Youyi,¡± Jiang Youyi said with a calm smile. ¡°Miss Jiang, I don¡¯t want to interfere in your relationship with this man, but don¡¯t interfere with others. 1 think it¡¯s better for you to go out and deal with it.¡± It was obvious that Mrs. Li wanted to chase Jiang Youyi away. She did not want to see this man again. It was impossible to clap with one hand. Mrs. Li felt that the two of them were not good people. ¡°Damn, what does Mrs. Li mean by that? Could it be that she wants to chase Jiang Youyi away?¡± Lin Feng felt that Jiang Youyi might be at a disadvantage and was a little worried. He didn¡¯t care much about Jiang Youyi, but Jiang Youtian had specially instructed him to protect Jiang Youyi well. If Jiang Youyi was really chased out, how could he face Jiang Youtian? He has to help Jiang Youyi. This was Lin Feng¡¯s first reaction. However, he was stopped by someone the moment he took a step. ¡°Why are you stopping me? Something is going to happen to Jiang Youyi. I have to interfere.¡± Lin Feng was puzzled. He thought to himself, Aren¡¯t you very concerned about Jiang Youyi? Now that something has happened to her, are you going to stand by and do nothing? ¡°You want to settle it yourself? Then go quickly! 1 won¡¯t stop you. It¡¯s more suitable for you to go.¡± Lin Feng suddenly reacted. He thought that since Lu Yunxiao cared so much about Jiang Youyi, he might have to do it himself. However, after stopping him, Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t do anything else. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Lin Feng almost fainted when he heard that. What kind of situation was this? Why were they still waiting? If they waited any longer, she would be chased out, okay? Once she was chased out, the crime would be confirmed. It would be very difficult to clear her name in the future. ¡°Yunxiao is not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?¡± Wang Jiangbei did not take this matter to heart. He thought that Lu Yunxiao must have his reasons for doing this. When Mrs. Li chased them away, a glint flashed across the man¡¯s eyes. Jiang Youyi caught it in an instant, and she knew better. Then, she turned to look at Mrs. Li. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Li. 1 disturbed the banquet, but 1 have a question in my heart. 1 don¡¯t know if I can ask.¡± ¡°Just say what you want to ask,¡± Mrs. Li said calmly. ¡°Mrs. Li, how¡¯s the security for this banquet?¡± Jiang Youyi enunciated each word clearly. ¡°The security is definitely the best in Ocean City.¡± Mrs. Li was very confident. She had been preparing for this banquet for a long time and had worked hard on the security. She was sure that this place was very safe. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why would someone like him sneak in? Do you have a work pass?¡± Jiang Youyi turned to look at the man.. Chapter 103 - Chapter 103: How Strange Chapter 103: How Strange Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Of course, the man did not have a work pass. He stammered, ¡°I ran in during the chaos just to ask you for money. I won¡¯t hurt anyone.¡± ¡°Mrs. Li, did you hear that? He can come in casually without a work pass. Looks like your security is not safe enough.¡± Jiang Youyi was neither servile nor overbearing. Mrs. Li¡¯s face turned green. She hurriedly shouted, ¡°Call more people over and strengthen security. No one is allowed to enter without a work pass or invitation. If you find anyone suspicious, call the police immediately.¡± After Mrs. Li finished speaking, Jiang Youyi said slowly, ¡°1 don¡¯t want to ask how this man got in. Scoundrels have been around me recently and 1 have been on the news a lot. There are also many people who know me. Perhaps there are people who hate me and set me up to let this person slander me. But setting me up at your banquet, isn¡¯t that slapping your face? After such a thing happened, would any socialite be willing to attend your banquet? Enemies can enter as they please. Who would dare to come?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mrs. Li felt very embarrassed. She had heard Mrs. Bai mention Jiang Youyi before. Although she did not say anything bad about Jiang Youyi, she could tell from her words that this Jiang Youyi was not an ordinary person. She was often on the news. After breaking off her engagement with Xu Yuning, she got together with Lu Yunxiao and caused a commotion. Mrs. Li did not like women who admired the rich and powerful, nor did she like people who relied on the news to create hype. Hence, she did not have a good impression of Jiang Youyi. It could be said that she did not like her. ¡°Can I ask this person three questions?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. The problem had yet to be resolved, so Mrs. Li could not chase Jiang Youyi out directly. She could only let her ask, ¡°Sure.¡± At this moment, Xu Yuning looked at Jiang Youyi, who was not far away, and was worried. Anyway, he did not believe that Jiang Youyi would find someone to accompany her to drink. ¡°Brother, should we go and help?¡± Xu Pingping was worried that Jiang Youyi would not be able to handle it alone. ¡°Let¡¯s wait first!¡± For some reason, Xu Yuning actually wanted to see how Jiang Youyi would resolve this matter. If it was in the past, he would definitely go over immediately, but now, Jiang Youyi has changed. She was different from before and didn¡¯t seem to be so easy to bully. He began to look forward to Jiang Youyi¡¯s performance. He hoped that she could overcome the difficulties with her own strength. When did he become like this? Perhaps it started when Xu Pingping said that Jiang Youyi had changed? With Mrs. Li¡¯s permission, Jiang Youyi smiled. Jiang Youyi was not afraid at all. Instead, she said calmly, ¡°The first question is, you can choose not to tell me which private room, but you have to tell me which KTV it is. There are surveillance cameras in front of the KTV or in the corridor. If I go, the surveillance cameras will definitely capture me. When the time comes, you¡¯ll know if 1 went.¡± With that, Jiang Youyi paused. ¡°Second question. If I was drunk last night and didn¡¯t pay you a tip, 1 definitely paid for the KTV bill. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t let me out. Take out the voucher for my QR code scan payment. There must be one at the bar.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t scan the QR code. You just gave them cash. There¡¯s no record of it,¡± the man immediately retorted. Jiang Youyi wasn¡¯t in a hurry to argue with him. Instead, she continued with a smile, ¡°Third question. You¡¯re the escort. Why did you suddenly appear here? How did you come in? It hasn¡¯t even been twelve hours since last night. You don¡¯t even know my ID number. It¡¯s already difficult for the police to find me in such a short period of time. How did you do it? Could it be that you installed a location on my phone?¡± The man was a little flustered. He stammered and could not say anything. He was terrified. If he had known that this woman was so smart, he would not have come. He would not have come no matter how much money was offered. Now, she had asked so many sharp questions, and he could not answer any of them. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t give him a chance to speak at all. Instead, she continued to smile and said, ¡°You definitely can¡¯t install a location on my phone. So, who sent you here? Who gave you my location? Who helped you sneak into the venue? You¡¯re slapping Mrs. Li in the face! How can you come and cause trouble at such a high-end banquet? The person behind you is really bold. He doesn¡¯t even take Mrs. Li seriously.¡± Not only did Jiang Youyi prove her innocence, but she also pulled out the person behind it. Although Mrs. Li didn¡¯t like her, she definitely couldn¡¯t let someone cause trouble at her banquet. ¡°Why do 1 feel that Miss Jiang is right? He found her in one night. Isn¡¯t that too unrealistic? If there¡¯s no one behind him to guide and help, why would that man suddenly appear here? Strange, how strange..¡± Chapter 104 - Chapter 104: Sorry Chapter 104: Sorry Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°There must be someone behind it. It can¡¯t be more obvious.¡± ¡°Who could it be?¡± ¡°Maybe the Xu family hates Jiang Youyi for breaking off the engagement and found someone to cause trouble at this time.¡± ¡°Keep your voice down. Xu Yuning is still over there!¡± ¡°I actually like Miss Jiang a little. She¡¯s so smart!¡± ¡°And she¡¯s not in a hurry. She¡¯s not afraid at all. The young lady have guts.¡± *** ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense. Those are all your imagination. 1 lurry up and return my money. You can¡¯t not return my money.¡± The man was still struggling. Jiang Youyi was not nervous at all. ¡°According to the laws of our country, escort services are not allowed in entertainment venues. Sir, you¡¯ve broken the law, understand?¡± ¡°No way!¡± Fear could be seen on the man¡¯s face. ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to refute. What you said is all fake. It didn¡¯t happen to me. I was at home yesterday. There are surveillance cameras at my house to prove it. There are also surveillance cameras in the neighborhood. If I call the police, you¡¯ll be charged with frame and slander. Sir, when you chose to stand here and slander me, you were destined to be imprisoned.¡± Jiang Youyi was still as calm as ever. She took out her phone. ¡°Hello, is this no? I have a¡­¡± The man¡¯s last bit of psychological defense finally collapsed, and he sat on the ground. ¡°Miss Jiang, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. 1 lost a gamble on the Internet and can¡¯t return the money. If not¡­ Anyway, 1 didn¡¯t mean to slander you. Can you give me a chance?¡± Seeing that the man was really frightened, Jiang Youyi hung up the phone and looked down at the man. ¡°Tell me, who instructed you to come? Who wanted to mess with me behind my back? Who gave you the money to hire you to do bad things?¡± Hearing Jiang Youyi¡¯s interrogation, he really wanted to expose the person who had instructed him, but when he thought of what that person had said, he hesitated. That person said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you 200,000 yuan to pay off your gambling debts, and you¡¯ll still have 20,000 yuan left for living expenses. If you fail, I won¡¯t ask for this money, but if you give me up, then you and your family won¡¯t have an easy time. Your mother is already old and lives in the slums in the north of the city, right?¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, no one instructed me. It was all my own idea. 1 heard¡­ I heard that you reacted quickly, so I wanted to come over and verify it and test you.¡± How could Jiang Youyi believe him? Jiang Youyi chuckled. ¡°Who did you hear that from?¡± ¡°I¡­ I heard the media introduce you. You¡¯re very famous. Many media outlets have your story.¡± The man continued to make up stories. ¡°Oh¡­ You want to test me? Are you a teacher?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at him indifferently and disdainfully. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± The man¡¯s voice was very soft, but Jiang Youyi and the people around her still heard him. Even if they couldn¡¯t hear him, they could tell from the shape of his mouth. Pah! Jiang Youyi gave him a loud slap. Jiang Youyi hit him so hard that her palm hurt. The man was stunned and saw stars. ¡°You¡¯re not a teacher. What right do you have to test me? Do you think this is kindergarten?¡± Jiang Youyi scoffed. When everyone heard Jiang Youyi¡¯s words, they couldn¡¯t help but snicker. Jiang Youyi¡¯s actions were beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Other than socialites, there were also rich young masters here. They were usually very elegant. Who would have thought that a young girl would be so powerful? ¡°Fuck! This woman is really special. I like her.¡± A certain young master became excited. ¡°Haha! Why is she so funny? She¡¯s simply a little weirdo.¡± This was not a derogatory remark, but another kind of praise. Lin Feng laughed out loud as well. He put his arm around Wang Jiangbei¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Jiang Youyi is too funny. Only she can do this. Oh my god! I have to woo Jiang Youtian just because of such a smart sister-in-law.¡± ¡°Stop finding excuses for yourself. You just want to sleep with Jiang Youtian.¡± Wang Jiangbei exposed him mercilessly. ¡°I do want to sleep with her, but I really like her. The Jiang family seems to be very powerful and special.¡± Lin Feng was not afraid to admit it. After all, he was the shameless one in front of Lu Yunxiao and Jiangbei. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Wang Jiangbei agreed. Seeing that she had proven her innocence, Jiang Youyi straightened her back and looked at Mrs. Li. ¡°Mrs. Li, 1 think it¡¯s better to let the police deal with it!¡± ¡°Okay, 1¡¯11 listen to you,¡± Mrs. Li said. Then, she called a group of people over and brought the man out. ¡°I¡¯m sorry that you were framed because of my negligence..¡± Chapter 105 - Chapter 105: How Do You Know My Name? Chapter 105: How Do You Know My Name? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s good that the matter has been clarified. You can¡¯t be blamed for this. Someone deliberately set this up. This kind of thing is impossible to guard against. Now that you¡¯ve cleared my name, this matter is over with me.¡± Jiang Youyi was neither servile nor overbearing. She did not kneel down or flatter him, looking very upright. Mrs. Li was not a petty person. She felt that Jiang Youyi was quite smart. If not for her quick reaction, she would have been slandered by now. It would be difficult to clear her name then. In other words, because of Jiang Youyi¡¯s intelligence, she saved herself. Jiang Youyi did not seem to have any complaints. When she spoke to Mrs. Li, she was still polite. Everyone here was a socialite and noblewoman. They paid attention to etiquette. If you were polite to me, 1 would be polite to you. Those who were not presentable did not know what respect was. That was why Mrs. Li apologized to Jiang Youyi and respected each other! After apologizing, Jiang Youyi¡¯s body seemed to be covered in a layer of gold that was shining. She was originally the least eye-catching, but now she became the center of attention. Originally, most of the cameras were filming Bai Bing. Now, they all ran to Jiang Youyi and started filming her. Those socialites who didn¡¯t have such popularity began to be envious of Jiang Youyi. After the man was taken away, the banquet returned to normal. Everyone gathered in groups of twos and threes, chatting and drinking. The best thing about a buffet party was that it made people feel relaxed and comfortable. It was also very convenient to move around. Xu Pingping heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Fortunately, Sister Youyi is smart. 1 was really worried just now.¡± Wu Chen, who was standing at the side, held a glass of red wine in his hand and swirled it, but his eyes were on Jiang Youyi. ¡°This woman is not simple!¡± Previously, he could not figure out why Lu Yunxiao would suddenly interact with Jiang Youyi on Weibo. Moreover, this Jiang Youyi was a second-hand good. She had dated Xu Yuning before. Now, he more or less understood that Jiang Youyi still had something on her. She was very smart and had a strong mental endurance. She was neither servile nor overbearing and was calm. She was quick-witted and eloquent. It would feel quite amazing if he slept with such a woman. With this thought in mind, Wu Chen walked towards Jiang Youyi. This was the first time they had met in public. In the past, she had only cheated him of his money, but she had not seen him. ¡°Fuck, that damn Wu Chen actually went to look for Jiang Youyi.¡± Lin Feng suddenly shouted. Lu Yunxiao acted as if he didn¡¯t hear him. Meanwhile, Wang Jiangbei was waiting to watch a good show. ¡°He didn¡¯t go over to make things difficult for her, right? I remember that they have a grudge against each other, and Wu Chen is someone who doesn¡¯t want to be at a disadvantage. I think Jiang Youyi will definitely be in trouble.¡± Lin Feng quickly thought in his mind and tried to think of a way to save Jiang Youyi. Ever since he was instructed by Jiang Youtian, he had been keeping an eye on Jiang Youyi. ¡°Is Wu Chen that petty?¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s expression was indifferent, as if he didn¡¯t take this matter to heart. ¡°Are you going to stay here and not go over?¡± Wang Jiangbei thought that Lu Yunxiao was really capable! ¡°It¡¯s good to stay here. Let them talk first.¡± It seemed that it wasn¡¯t that Lu Yunxiao wasn¡¯t prepared to go over, but the time wasn¡¯t right yet. ¡°You know how to be humble? That¡¯s not easy!¡± Wang Jiangbei sighed. At this moment, Bai Bing brought the main character of the day, Li Tianxin, over. ¡°Tianxin, this is Lu Yunxiao,¡± Bai Bing introduced. ¡°Brother Lu is really good-looking in person.¡± Li Tianxin smiled and made a pertinent evaluation. ¡°This is Lin Feng, and this is Wang Jiangbei. You must have met them before, right? 1 won¡¯t introduce them to you.¡± Bai Bing introduced Lin Feng and Wang Jiangbei. Li Tianxin smiled slightly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve seen these two brothers before, but I¡¯ve never seen Brother Lu. Brother Lu never seems to attend banquets. It¡¯s my honor that he can come today. Thank you, Brother Lu.¡± Li Tianxin was from a wealthy family. She had outstanding looks and was very polite. She was the kind of girl that everyone would like when they saw her. It was obvious that she had a good relationship with Bai Bing. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Lu Yunxiao appeared very calm. At this moment, Wu Chen had already begun to move. He had already arrived beside Jiang Youyi. As she woke up early, Jiang Youyi did not have breakfast at home. Her stomach was empty and she was eating an exquisite cake. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. ¡°Jiang Youyi!¡± She was shocked. When she turned around, she did not notice and pressed the cake on Wu Chen¡¯s expensive suit. Wu Chen:¡±¡­¡± ¡°You scared me just now. Why are you like this?¡± Jiang Youyi complained. Wu Chen:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Also, I don¡¯t know you! How do you know my name?¡± Jiang Youyi said confidently. Wu Chen:¡±¡­¡± Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Dont Want Him to Misunderstand Chapter 106: Don¡¯t Want Him to Misunderstand Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Jiang Youyi continued to ask. ¡°My name is Wu Chen.¡± When Wu Chen said this, he gritted his teeth. ¡°You¡¯re an actor?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at him in confusion. ¡°No.¡± Wu Chen still gritted his teeth. ¡°The cake is all over you. This is strawberry jam. It¡¯s very difficult to clean. Go to the lounge and clean it! You really scared me just now. Don¡¯t appear behind others silently next time, understand?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Wu Chen was full of expectations when he arrived, but he was not in the mood now. He turned around and went to the lounge alone. ¡°Haha! Sister Youyi is messing with him on purpose, right?¡± Xu Pingping couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw Wu Chen¡¯s sorry state. Xu Yuning did not answer. He had been worried about Jiang Youyi just now. Previously, when he was hospitalized, Wu Chen went to visit him and tried to get information out of him. From what he said, he suspected that Jiang Youyi was deliberately cheating him of his money. If there was a grudge between them previously, then Wu Chen would definitely not let her off so easily this time. Xu Yuning thought that Wu Chen would make things difficult for her, but before he could say anything, he was slapped by Jiang Youyi¡¯s cake. Wu Chen was in a miserable state. His suit was worth 300,000 yuan, and it was a high-end custom-made suit. Jiang Youyi did not care and destroyed it just like that. Was she doing this on purpose? Xu Yuning could not judge either. He only felt that Jiang Youyi was different now. This feeling was very confusing. He knew less and less about Jiang Youyi now. There seemed to be many qualities about her that he did not know about. She would surprise him every time. Wu Chen went to the lounge with a cold expression. Fortunately, his subordinates were quick and quickly got him a second suit. ¡°Brother Chen? How did this happen?¡± ¡°Phew¡­¡± Wu Chen let out a long sigh. ¡°Jiang Youyi dirtied it.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi again?¡± The subordinate was in disbelief. ¡°Watch how 1 deal with her when I get out. I¡¯ll definitely beat her up.¡± ¡°Get back here.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Chen?¡± ¡°She didn¡¯t mean to. She didn¡¯t even know who I was.¡± Wu Chen was also very depressed. He could only blame his bad luck for encountering such a thing. However, Wu Chen was puzzled. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t know him and even thought that he was an actor. In that case, did Jiang Youyi think that he was an actor because he was very handsome? ¡°You guys can leave! 1 can do it alone. This is Mrs. Li¡¯s banquet. Don¡¯t cause trouble.¡± Wu Chen waved his hand. When he came out again, he still wanted to look for Jiang Youyi. After all, he wanted to get close to her. Hence, he returned to his original position, but Jiang Youyi was not here at all. He looked around again, but she was not in the huge banquet hall. Wu Chen was puzzled. Where did she go in such a short time? At the same time, Jiang Youyi was hiding in the fire escape. She heaved a sigh of relief and took out a box of cigarettes from her bag. Then, she took one out and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, a large hand reached out and snatched the cigarette from her mouth. ¡°What?¡± Jiang Youyi exclaimed. She turned around and saw Lu Yunxiao¡¯s cold face. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I be here? Is it strange?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not strange. I thought¡­¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t continue. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s Wu Chen?¡± Lu Yunxiao seemed to have seen through her thoughts. ¡°Don¡¯t mention him to me. It¡¯s inauspicious.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t seem to like Wu Chen. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t know him?¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled. ¡°Yes! I¡¯ve never seen him before,¡± Jiang Youyi emphasized. ¡°You smeared cake on him when you didn¡¯t know him, wouldn¡¯t it be even worse if you knew him?¡± Lu Yunxiao teased. ¡°Do you believe that I¡¯ll do the same to you? Give me back my cigarette.¡± Jiang Youyi had a sharp tongue. ¡°It¡¯s not good for girls to smoke, right?¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t return it. Instead, he put the cigarette in his pants pocket. ¡°Why do you care so much?¡± Jiang Youyi was indignant. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to control you. I just feel that it¡¯s not good,¡± Lu Yunxiao insisted. ¡°Don¡¯t mind me.¡± Jiang Youyi thought, Are you qualified? ¡°Then what should 1 do?¡± Lu Yunxiao looked very difficult to deal with. He saw Jiang Youyi coming over just now, so he followed her. He didn¡¯t expect Jiang Youyi to smoke secretly here. He didn¡¯t mind women smoking, but for some reason, he really wanted to control Jiang Youyi and didn¡¯t want to see her smoke. Jiang Youyi sighed helplessly. ¡°This isn¡¯t smoke. This is a plant refined from mint. It¡¯s used to wake up the mind.¡± She didn¡¯t want to explain, but for some reason, she didn¡¯t want him to misunderstand when facing this cold face.. Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: What Gift Did You Prepare? Chapter 107: What Gift Did You Prepare? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi did not like to smoke and could not smell it. She felt that it was very choking and would cough. This was refined by her. She smoked it for fun when she had nothing to do. There was no smell of smoke, and the smell was very fresh. ¡°You don¡¯t like it when I control you?¡± Jiang Youyi sneered. ¡°Who are you to me? Why do you care?¡± ¡°Maybe I¡¯m your future husband?¡± ¡°There are too many variables in ¡®maybe¡¯. 1 even said that you might be my future nephew! 1 heard that you have an uncle who¡¯s only in his forties. He¡¯s still unmarried. Why don¡¯t you introduce him¡ª¡± Before Jiang Youyi could finish speaking, Lu Yunxiao appeared in front of her and pinned her against the wall with his arms. Was she¡­ kabedoned by the richest man? Why did she feel dizzy? No way! Wake up! She had to be clear-headed! Not even if he was handsome! ¡°Jiang Youyi, you¡¯re really good at talking!¡± Lu Yunxiao couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He hugged her waist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. Jiang Youyi¡¯s chin hurt a little when he exerted force. However, this pain was actually very satisfying. Perhaps because the two of them were too close, Jiang Youyi seemed to be able to hear each other¡¯s heartbeats. There was a special smell on him. It was very pleasant. Jiang Youyi felt dizzy again when she smelled this fragrance. It was extremely ambiguous. If the other party did not kiss her, it would be a pity for the current atmosphere. The two of them looked at each other and felt the air freeze. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The last time Lu Yunxiao was so close to Jiang Youyi was in a teahouse. This time, it seemed to be closer, and the air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles. Jiang Youyi¡¯s eyes were very beautiful and bright. He had never seen such beautiful eyes. He knew that Jiang Youyi was a special existence to him. As for how special it was¡­ It was like a dream he had once had. In his dream, Jiang Youyi and Xu Yuning got married. However, after Xu Yuning got married, he had a change of heart for Jiang Youyi and had a mistress outside. The mistress was even pregnant. Jiang Youyi was not doing well. She wanted to divorce Xu Yuning, and the two families were not happy because of the divorce. At that time, Jiang Youyi would often go out alone. Lu Yunxiao had bumped into her a few times, but Jiang Youyi had only discovered him twice. The first time was when it was raining heavily and Jiang Youyi was drenched in the rain. He gave her an umbrella. The other time was when Jiang Youyi accidentally scratched his car. Lu Yunxiao got out of the car and took a look. He said that it was fine and let Jiang Youyi leave. For some reason, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s heart aches when he sees Jiang Youyi like that. He had never told anyone about the dream. It was a secret in his heart. However, in reality, when Jiang Youyi broke off the engagement with Xu Yuning, she actually said that she liked him! At that time, he was actually very moved. Perhaps he was attracted to Jiang Youyi. ¡°Jiang Youyi!¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I like your eyes.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s voice was very gentle. Just as he was about to kiss Jiang Youyi¡¯s lips, footsteps came from not far away. ¡°Someone¡¯s here!¡± Jiang Youyi pushed Lu Yunxiao away. Lu Yunxiao was smarter. He grabbed Jiang Youyi and hid behind the fire door. From the sound of the footsteps, it should be two women because of the sound of high heels. They pushed open the door and arrived at an empty spot. ¡°Xiaoyan, why are you unhappy?¡± Xie Zhenzhen asked. ¡°Why? It¡¯s because of that Jiang Youyi! With her status, she can¡¯t come to such a place at all. 1 don¡¯t know why she¡¯s here. This woman is too restless. She was with Xu Yuning previously, and now she¡¯s seducing my idol, Lu Yunxiao. She¡¯s too shameless.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see? All the men¡¯s gazes were attracted to her today. She just got the cake on Wu Chen, but Wu Chen wasn¡¯t angry. Wu Chen! That¡¯s Wu Chen! He¡¯s very hot-tempered. He actually didn¡¯t get angry with her. This is too much.¡± Liu Xiaoyan stomped her feet in dissatisfaction. ¡°Who would have thought that she was so amazing?¡± Xie Zhenzhen only complained. She was very cautious and didn¡¯t dare to say too much, but she didn¡¯t like Jiang Youyi in her heart. Think about it. At such a large banquet, which woman would like a woman who was so in the limelight? She would definitely be jealous when she saw that all the men¡¯s gazes were attracted. ¡°Even Bai Bing is dim in front of her. 1 feel like this banquet is prepared for her. Oh right, what gift did you prepare for Li Tianxin¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony today?¡± ¡°Mine was prepared by my family. You know, everyone here is here for Secretary Li..¡± Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Gift Chapter 108: Gift Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t want to give her anything, but 1 have to. I¡¯ve wasted another sum of money. Let¡¯s see if I can get close to my idol, Lu Yunxiao later! If 1 really can¡¯t, I can go to Wang Jiangbei.¡± Liu Xiaoyan was furious. ¡°Zhenzhen, who do you like?¡± ¡°I¡­ I like people like Xu Yuning,¡± Xie Zhenzhen said slowly. She liked infatuated men very much. When she heard about Xu Yuning, she started to have feelings for him. ¡°Then let¡¯s go! We¡¯ll go out and try our luck.¡± The two of them said and left. They didn¡¯t expect there to be someone behind the door and heard what they said clearly. Seeing that the two of them had left, Jiang Youyi hurriedly pushed Lu Yunxiao away and kept a distance between them. ¡°Um¡­ one of them seems to be your die-hard fan,¡± Jiang Youyi said immediately to ease the awkwardness. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t answer her. Instead, he asked, ¡°Today is Li Tianxin¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony. Did you prepare a gift?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯re such a meticulous person.¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled. Jiang Youyi was about to retort when her phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was Xu Pingping. ¡°Sister Youyi, come back quickly! Everyone is giving gifts now. It will be bad for you if they don¡¯t see you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go over now,¡± Jiang Youyi said and hung up. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Yunxiao pulled her over. ¡°Why are you pulling me?¡± Jiang Youyi frowned in confusion. ¡°If you didn¡¯t prepare a gift, I¡¯ll help you.¡± Lu Yunxiao enunciated each word sincerely. ¡°This banquet seems to be targeted at me. Everywhere is a trap. It¡¯s no different from a Hongmen Banquet. Not only do 1 have to close the trap, but I also have to give gifts? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not in good spirits. However, you¡¯re right. If I don¡¯t give anything, perhaps Mrs. Li will take revenge on me.¡± Jiang Youyi was also very helpless. ¡°Then you¡­¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled slightly. ¡°Why don¡¯t I give you to Miss Li and let her play?¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi!¡± Lu Yunxiao was almost angered to death by her. He really wanted to pinch her face. ¡°Hahaha¡­ I was just joking.¡± Jiang Youyi felt that she had tricked Lu Yunxiao. She was so happy. Then, the two of them left the fire escape and walked separately. No one realized that they had just been together. When they arrived at the banquet hall, they realized that everyone was in the middle. Jiang Youyi walked over. She looked at Li Tianxin. After cutting the cake tower, the lights suddenly gathered on her. She was wearing a gown with silver sequins. When the lights shone on her, she looked very dazzling. Bai Bing slowly walked to her side, holding a scroll in her hand. ¡°Tianxin, this is for you. 1 wish you a happy coming-of-age ceremony and a happy day.¡± Li Tianxin smiled faintly and took the scroll. Then, she unfolded it and showed it to everyone. The people here were all socialites and young masters. There were naturally many knowledgeable people. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the work of a modern painter, Mr. Lin?¡± ¡°This painting of mountains and rivers breaking through the dawn is simply too spiritual.¡± ¡°Miss Bai is really amazing! How did she even get this?¡± *** Hearing everyone¡¯s praise, Mrs. Li, who was standing beside Li Tianxin, nodded in satisfaction. The dawn of the mountains and rivers was very meaningful, indicating that it was like the sun in the sky. Li Tianxin¡¯s father was Secretary Li, an official. Naturally, he liked paintings with such a meaningful meaning. Officials looked like materialists, but in fact, they were very superstitious. Bai Bing gave this painting not only to please Li Tianxin, but also to Secretary Li. She had put in a lot of effort. Xie Zhenzhen then walked up to Li Tianxin. ¡°Tianxin, 1 know you like pink. This is a limited edition Hermes bag. It¡¯s pink. You¡¯ll definitely like it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Sister Zhenzhen!¡± Li Tianxin smiled and accepted the gift. Xu Pingping also walked forward and took a heavy box from Xu Yuning. ¡°This is a violin I customized overseas. I know you like to play the violin. I hope your violin skills will get better and better. Your name is engraved on it. This violin belongs to you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Sister Pingping. This gift is so expensive.¡± Li Tianxin knew that it must be very expensive to order a violin overseas. She opened the box and took out the violin. She caressed it. It felt so good. If not for the fact that the banquet time was tight, she would have played a song now to experience the feeling of a custom-made violin. After that, Xu Yuning gave her a longevity peach made of gold. This kind of thing was definitely not something a girl would like. It was obvious that he had taken the opportunity to give it to her father.. Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Fake Chapter 109: Fake Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wu Yan and Wu Chen gifted a villa under Xinglong Real Estate. Wang Jiangbei had gifted her a six-hundred-square-meter flat that could be used as a studio or a residence. Lin Feng gave her a yellow Lamborghini sports car. The moment he took out the car key, he showed his strength under everyone¡¯s gaze. The wealthy Qian family sent a helicopter. Director Zhang¡¯s daughter, Zhang Kehui, had given her a sapphire necklace. It looked extremely precious. Lu Yunxiao casually gave her a jade Maitreya Buddha because Mrs. Li liked to pay respects to Buddha. Why did he give it to her casually? This was because there were too many things like this in Lu Yunxiao¡¯s storeroom. It was like giving him mineral water. Liu Xiaoyan deliberately waited until the end and saw that everyone had given her enough. Then, she wanted to make a move before Jiang Youyi. Not only did she want to be in the limelight, but she also wanted to suppress Jiang Youyi. ¡°Miss Li, 1 heard that you like antiques. This is a blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. I hope you can accept it.¡± Liu Xiaoyan held the blue and white porcelain and felt that her gift would definitely be the most dazzling. ¡°The blue and white porcelain is worth a lot!¡± ¡°Miss Liu is really generous.¡± ¡°As expected of a young lady from a prestigious family. She¡¯s so generous.¡± ¡°This blue and white porcelain looks pretty good. I don¡¯t think you can find it on the market.¡± *** Under everyone¡¯s praise, Liu Xiaoyan couldn¡¯t help but feel smug. She quickly handed the vase to Li Tianxin. At this moment, Jiang Youyi suddenly said, ¡°This blue and white porcelain is beautiful, but unfortunately, it¡¯s fake.¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? You country bumpkin, have you seen blue and white porcelain before?¡± Liu Xiaoyan glared at Jiang Youyi as if she wanted to skin her alive. ¡°Of course I¡¯ve seen the blue and white porcelain. Otherwise, how would 1 know that the one in your hand is fake?¡± Jiang Youyi smiled lightly, completely unconcerned about the way Liu Xiaoyan looked at her. Hearing Jiang Youyi¡¯s words, Mrs. Li and Li Tianxin¡¯s expressions couldn¡¯t help but turn ugly. If they accepted the fake blue and white porcelain, wouldn¡¯t they be laughed at if word got out? ¡°You didn¡¯t even look carefully and you already determined that my blue and white porcelain is fake. 1 think you¡¯re deliberately making things difficult for me.¡± Liu Xiaoyan wanted to tear Jiang Youyi apart. She didn¡¯t like Jiang Youyi to begin with, and now, Jiang Youyi was against her. Even if she had beaten Jiang Youyi to death, she couldn¡¯t vent her hatred. She couldn¡¯t care less about her image now. She shouted at Jiang Youyi at the top of her lungs. ¡°Since you want to give Miss Li such a gift, you must know something about antiques. Do you know how to appraise the blue and white porcelain?¡± Jiang Youyi said firmly, regardless of whether Liu Xiaoyan was hysterical or not. ¡°Well¡­¡± Liu Xiaoyan didn¡¯t know how to answer. She only knew that upper-class people liked antiques and felt that it was definitely right to give them away. Moreover, she had spent a lot of money to buy them. They shouldn¡¯t be fake. Jiang Youyi¡¯s question rendered Liu Xiaoyan speechless. Her expression turned ugly and she was dumbfounded. Seeing Liu Xiaoyan standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do, Jiang Youyi smiled and continued, ¡°Since you said that this is Ming Qinghua, I¡¯ll tell you how to differentiate Ming Qinghua. To look at Ming Qinghua, you have to first look at its shape. You can tell if it¡¯s real or fake within a meter. Ming Qinghua¡¯s shape is special in its era. Those who know about Qinghua can tell at a glance that your Qinghua is wrong. It¡¯s a little too round and deliberate.¡± ¡°You only took a look and said it was fake. Are you an appraiser? What right do you have?¡± Liu Xiaoyan was unconvinced. She didn¡¯t understand and didn¡¯t believe Jiang Youyi. ¡°The blue and white porcelain has a long history. You look at the shape from afar, and the patterns from near. Ming Qinghua has a long history. There should be radiance on the inside if it was an ancient treasure. If it¡¯s a new porcelain, the radiance will be stabbing under the light. If it was processed later, it would look dirty. Yours is processed. Although it looks like it, it¡¯s fake. My eyesight is very good.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s words were reasonable, and the surrounding people were stunned. They often heard such words from experts on television. Now that these words came out of Jiang Youyi¡¯s mouth, they actually had a different charm. Mrs. Li heard it very clearly. Looking at Jiang Youyi¡¯s serious expression, she didn¡¯t seem to be framing Liu Xiaoyan. ¡°Do you think people will believe you just because you¡¯re spouting nonsense here? You don¡¯t have any evidence and you¡¯re not an expert. What right do you have to judge my blue and white porcelain?¡± Liu Xiaoyan was definitely not convinced. She had spent a lot of money to buy this blue and white porcelain, and it was through a reliable person. Hence, she felt that Jiang Youyi was talking nonsense.. Chapter 110 - Chapter 110: The Fake Is So Evident Chapter 110: The Fake Is So Evident Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi chuckled. ¡°You can choose not to believe me, but you have to believe someone¡¯s words.¡± As Jiang Youyi spoke, she looked at Mrs. Li. ¡°Mrs. Li, if 1 remember correctly, Elder Zhou is also attending the banquet today. Why don¡¯t you ask him to come and take a look?¡± ¡°Elder Zhou? Is he the best in the antique world, Zhou Jie, Elder Zhou?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen Elder Zhou at the banquet for so long! Is he here?¡± ¡°If Eider Zhou comes, his words are trustworthy.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi actually knows Elder Zhou. Looks like she knows the antique world very well.¡± *** While everyone was surprised that Elder Zhou was here, Mrs. Li was also surprised. Elder Zhou was indeed here, but he was a special guest and had yet to appear. This time, she invited Elder Zhou over mainly for the charity auction later. If it was a charity auction, there would definitely be people auctioning antiques. In order not to receive fakes, she invited Elder Zhou over. However, Mrs. Li did not tell Jiang Youyi that there would be a charity auction later. In other words, although there was a charity auction, Mrs. Li did not inform Jiang Youyi. Everyone knew, but Jiang Youyi did not. Has someone else told her? But even if someone else had told her, it was impossible for them to tell her that Elder Zhou was here because no one knew. Elder Zhou did not participate in the red carpet segment, nor did he appear at the banquet. The only opportunity he appeared was when he took the elevator to the lounge. But could Jiang Youyi meet him in such a short period of time? Even if she did, would she be able to recognize that person as Elder Zhou? Mrs. Li was very puzzled, but no one could explain to her now, and it was not the time to explain. If Liu Xiaoyan really gave her a fake, it would be difficult to explain after accepting it. At that time, the Liu family would not admit that it was a fake. Because of this, Mrs. Li was still quite cautious, so she said, ¡°Go to the lounge and invite Elder Zhou over.¡± Hearing Mrs. Li¡¯s words, everyone was in an uproar. Was Elder Zhou really here? When did he come? At the same time, Liu Xiaoyan¡¯s heart raced. She was a little nervous. Jiang Youyi actually dared to hire a professional? Did that mean that she was holding a fake? Could she really have been deceived? It was a small matter to be deceived, but if she was exposed in front of so many people, what face would she have? Liu Xiaoyan was so nervous that she clenched her fists. It was all Jiang Youyi¡¯s fault. If she hadn¡¯t interrupted, she wouldn¡¯t have been in so much trouble. Not long after, Elder Zhou was invited out. His assistant supported him. He was wearing a black Tang suit and his hair was snow-white. ¡°It¡¯s indeed Elder Zhou.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t even know. How did Jiang Youyi know? How is she so resourceful?¡± ¡°Looks like there¡¯s going to be a good show.¡± *** ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Elder Zhou. 1 troubled you to come out in advance.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Elder Zhou was very amiable. ¡°Miss Liu gave us a blue and white porcelain, but there was a controversy. The children don¡¯t know anything about antiques, so please appraise it.¡± Mrs. Li was very polite. ¡°Alright, let me take a look,¡± Elder Zhou said as he took the blue and white porcelain. Then, he started to look at it from about a meter away. Just as Jiang Youyi had said, he put on a white glove and rubbed it in his hand. When Elder Zhou was observing, no one made a sound. The banquet hall was very quiet. Even a pin drop could be heard. After looking at it for a few minutes, Elder Zhou finally said, ¡°It¡¯s indeed fake.¡± When Liu Xiaoyan heard this, she staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Xie Zhenzhen held her. However, Xie Zhenzhen was not a fool. She helped her up and let go of her. She kept a distance from her. ¡°Don¡¯t explain later. Otherwise, it will make things worse. Just say that you don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on either.¡± Liu Xiaoyan was about to cry. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. 1 spent nearly ten million yuan to buy this. It shouldn¡¯t be fake!¡± ¡°Young lady, you¡¯ve really been deceived. This isn¡¯t real, and the imitation isn¡¯t very real.¡± Elder Zhou was very sure. ¡°I asked a professional to take a look and he said it was real.¡± Liu Xiaoyan emphasized. ¡°Did I see wrongly?¡± Elder Zhou asked, but his expression had already turned ugly. In the antique world, who dared to question him? ¡°Elder Zhou is a leading figure in the antique world. He definitely won¡¯t be wrong. Sorry to trouble you, Elder Zhou. Go back and rest! 1¡¯11 have to trouble you to come out later.¡± Seeing that Elder Zhou was unhappy, Mrs. Li hurriedly made up. Elder Zhou was supported by his assistant and left without looking back. He did not even say why this fake was fake. His status was extraordinary and he was the leader of the antique world. As long as he said that it was fake, it was fake. Besides, this fake was so obvious.. Chapter 111 - Chapter 111: Incompatible Chapter 111: Incompatible Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Liu Xiaoyan pointed at Jiang Youyi and said angrily, ¡°Mrs. Li, Jiang Youyi must have deliberately framed me and changed my authentic product. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡°Ha! Don¡¯t slander me, alright? You¡¯ve always been the one holding it. How can I change it?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°No buts. You were tricked. I wasn¡¯t the one who replaced your things. If your brain hadn¡¯t gone haywire, you would have figured it out.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi!¡± Liu Xiaoyan still wanted to scold Jiang Youyi, but before she could speak, Mrs. Li said, ¡°Today is my daughter¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony. You can settle the matter between you and Jiang Youyi privately!¡± ¡°Mrs. Li¡­¡± Liu Xiaoyan still wanted to explain. ¡°Men, take Miss Liu away,¡± Mrs. Li said and paused. ¡°Send a driver to send her back.¡± Mrs. Li felt that Liu Xiaoyan¡¯s mental state was a little abnormal now. It was better to send her home directly. Seeing that Mrs. Li was about to chase her away, Liu Xiaoyan hugged the vase and sat on the ground. She had been embarrassed this time. Just now, she had added a few rich second-generation heirs on WeChat. When they saw her like this, they blocked her. The corners of Lin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. We are the only ones here.¡± Wang Jiangbei caught his action and felt that he might have something to say. ¡°I think Jiang Youyi is really extraordinary!¡± Lin Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Who would have thought that this would be the outcome? Lu Yunxiao chuckled. ¡°This is just like her. She will definitely take revenge.¡± ¡°Revenge? You said that she has a feud with Miss Liu?¡± Lin Feng was surprised. ¡°Yes, they have a grudge!¡± Lu Yunxiao was very certain. ¡°When did this happen?¡± Lin Feng was puzzled. ¡°Just now. Within ten minutes.¡± When Lu Yunxiao said this, a glint flashed across his eyes. Lu Yunxiao was right. Jiang Youyi was a vengeful person. Originally, she could have ignored this matter. Whether the Li family received fake goods or not had nothing to do with her. However, Liu Xiaoyan was too annoying. Not only did she badmouth her behind her back, but she also heard it. When she first walked the red carpet, she was also the one who shouted the most, calling her a country bumpkin. During the banquet, she would always discuss her with others, saying that she was not qualified to attend. Jiang Youyi could ignore this, but when she and Lu Yunxiao were hiding behind the door at the fire escape, Liu Xiaoyan kept scolding her. It was too unpleasant. Although Xie Zhenzhen did not like her either, at least it was not as unpleasant as it sounded. Jiang Youyi had her principles. If you don¡¯t provoke me, I won¡¯t provoke you either. If you provoke me, I won¡¯t let you off easy. Just because of this, Jiang Youyi wanted to take revenge on her. Jiang Youyi smiled as she watched Liu Xiaoyan being pulled away. Liu Xiaoyan¡¯s father was a fruit king. He had worked hard for so many years to achieve his current results. Now, it has been defeated by Liu Xiaoyan. After being taken away, Mrs. Li looked at Jiang Youyi gratefully. ¡°Miss Jiang, thank you. If you hadn¡¯t reminded me, I might have accepted this fake today.¡± ¡°This is what I should do. I don¡¯t know much either. 1 can only tell that it¡¯s fake. It¡¯s only because you have a lot of connections that you invited Elder Zhou. 1 don¡¯t have much credit.¡± Jiang Youyi was very humble. She did not take credit or be proud. This action changed Mrs. Li¡¯s opinion of Jiang Youyi. This Jiang Youyi was very good at handling matters and had good values. It didn¡¯t seem like what Mrs. Bai said. There seemed to be something wrong with her targeting her just now. Sometimes, one only needs one thing to change a person¡¯s attitude towards oneself. Jiang Youyi had successfully changed Mrs. Li¡¯s opinion of her through Liu Xiaoyan¡¯s gift of fake goods. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t do this to show off. She did it for herself and for revenge. Bai Bing hadn¡¯t had a chance to show off all this while and couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. However, she still watched this farce. She came to a conclusion. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t seem to be as obedient as she thought. She seemed to be very powerful. She seemed to have underestimated her opponent previously. Also, she felt that Jiang Youyi was not the kind of silly girl who only knew how to freeload. Jiang Youyi seemed to be very arrogant and would not take the initiative to cling to the rich and powerful. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, ¡°Miss Jiang, you haven¡¯t sent a gift, right?¡± After hearing this, Bai Bing slowly walked up to Jiang Youyi and said with a fake smile, ¡°Miss Jiang, you¡¯re so knowledgeable. You must be different from us commoners. The gifts you give must be the most special. I think Tianxin will definitely look forward to it.¡± The two of them looked at each other as if they were fire and water.. Chapter 112 - Chapter 112: Too Strange Chapter 112: Too Strange Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but laugh. It seemed like someone was here to cause trouble again. ¡°Oh my, the two of them are going to fight over you. Why aren¡¯t you moved?¡± Wang Jiangbei teased. ¡°You want to try too?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked instead of answering. ¡°Forget it! I can¡¯t take it.¡± Wang Jiangbei shook his head. Lu Yunxiao was still calm and cold as he watched what would happen next. Bai Bing couldn¡¯t take it anymore and came out. If she didn¡¯t appear soon, Jiang Youyi would steal the limelight today. Xu Pingping looked at Xu Yuning worriedly. ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t think I saw Sister Youyi bring any gifts over. She¡¯s always empty-handed. Don¡¯t tell me she didn¡¯t prepare anything?¡± Xu Yuning remained silent after hearing this. He kept staring at Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi looked at Bai Bing coldly. ¡°Miss Bai, are we on good terms?¡± ¡°Not really. We just met,¡± Bai Bing replied. ¡°We just met. How did you know that I¡¯m knowledgeable?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. ¡°When you were appraising the blue and white porcelain just now, 1 could tell that you were different from ordinary people.¡± Bai Bing¡¯s answer was reasonable. ¡°But¡­ isn¡¯t it too hasty to jump to conclusions based on just one thing? I don¡¯t think Miss Bai is such a hasty person! I really can¡¯t figure it out.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t figure out. I just admire Miss Jiang.¡± ¡°Admire me? What is there to admire? That¡¯s funny.¡± ¡°You broke off the engagement on the spot at the wedding ceremony. I can see your courage. You¡¯re even on the trending searches. It¡¯s difficult not to admire you.¡± ¡°Ha! Miss Bai likes to read gossip! You¡¯re so beautiful. I thought you were aloof and cold! I didn¡¯t expect you to like to pay attention to other people¡¯s privacy. I really didn¡¯t expect this.¡± ¡°I was born in the Greater World. I¡¯m also a mortal. I¡¯ll definitely care about what everyone cares about. Moreover, I¡¯m in the media. It shouldn¡¯t be wrong for me to pay attention to the news, right? I¡¯ve always praised Miss Jiang, but why do I feel that Miss Jiang is very resistant to me? Did I say something wrong?¡± Bai Bing¡¯s specialty was hosting. When she spoke, she would definitely be at odds with her. It would be difficult for Jiang Youyi not to be dragged down by her. ¡°I¡¯m not against you. You¡¯re too beautiful. I might be jealous!¡± To be able to say that she was jealous of others in front of everyone, she was quite bold. ¡°Miss Jiang is also very outstanding-looking!¡± Bai Bing was extremely calm. Even though she was rejected by Jiang Youyi, she was still calm. ¡°That depends on who you compare yourself to. I can¡¯t compare to you. You¡¯re a famous host, and I¡¯m just an unemployed person. How can I compare to Miss Bai? By the way, 1 really like Miss Bai¡¯s show. The show you did last time must have been prepared for a long time, right?¡± After hearing this, Bai Bing¡¯s expression changed. Wasn¡¯t the last show she mentioned the one that invited Mrs. Xu? What did Jiang Youyi mean when she said that she had been preparing for a long time? There seemed to be a hidden meaning in her words. Those who could attend Li Tianxin¡¯s coming-of-age ceremony were all people who had seen the world. Everyone was very smart. If she could hear the implication, so could the others. This Jiang Youyi was indeed not simple and not easy to deal with. Bai Bing opened her mouth, wanting to explain. ¡°Miss Jiang¡­¡± Before she could continue, Jiang Youyi came to Li Tianxin and took out a vinyl record from her bag. She handed it to Li Tianxin. ¡°Miss Li, happy birthday.¡± When they saw this, everyone was in an uproar. ¡°What the hell? Giving away a record? Is there something wrong with her head?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too much to give such a thing to such an occasion?¡± ¡°This is too low. Is the Jiang family so poor?¡± ¡°Will the Li family accept such a gift? This is too worthless.¡± ¡°One accident after another happened today. This Jiang Youyi is too interesting.¡± *** When Jiang Youyi took out the gift, everyone was shocked, including Mrs. Li. It seemed that only Lu Yunxiao was still very calm. ¡°She didn¡¯t take the wrong one, did she? There must have been something else in the bag.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already seen it clearly. This is her gift to Miss Li.¡± ¡°What a surprise. Jiang Youyi is a music lover.¡± Wang Jiangbei chuckled and teased. ¡°Brother, what should we do? Sister Youyi will offend the Li family. We have to help her.¡± Xu Pingping was already crying. She was genuinely concerned about Jiang Youyi. Although Li Tianxin was only an 18-year-old child, her status was not ordinary. She was Secretary Li¡¯s beloved daughter. Others gave her luxury cars, mansions, and precious jewelry, but when it came to Jiang Youyi, she gave her a record. Was she here to play with Miss Li? Or was she here to toy with Secretary Li? Did she not take the Li family seriously at all? Wasn¡¯t this too strange? Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Questioning Piracy Chapter 113: Questioning Piracy Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°It can¡¯t be just one record, right? Maybe it¡¯s made of gold,¡± someone said from afar. ¡°I saw it clearly. It¡¯s just an ordinary record.¡± This person clearly looked down on Jiang Youyi¡¯s actions. ¡°Is the Jiang Family so poor? Are they really only going to give her a record?¡± This person mocked. When Bai Bing saw Jiang Youyi take out an ordinary vinyl record, she was instantly overjoyed. She thought to herself that this Jiang Youyi was really capable! What kind of family was the Li family? They were officials, not musicians. What a joke. Now, everyone was waiting to see Jiang Youyi make a fool of herself, but Li Tianxin¡¯s actions surprised everyone. She held the record and trembled. ¡°This¡­ this is really¡­¡± Seeing how excited she was, Mrs. Li couldn¡¯t help but be curious. She came to her daughter¡¯s side and looked at the record in her hand. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°This is actually Michael Jackson¡¯s record.¡± Li Tianxin was so excited that tears were about to fall. Now Mrs. Li understood what was going on. Li Tianxin¡¯s favorite singer was Michael Jackson. It seemed that Jiang Youyi had come prepared. She must have known her daughter before. After Li Tianxin went to primary school, she went overseas. Mrs. Li was also studying outside. Due to the influence of foreign culture, she liked Michael Jackson a lot and liked his dancing style even more. ¡°Michael Jackson¡¯s record isn¡¯t rare, right?¡± A woman in the crowd spoke. She probably didn¡¯t like Jiang Youyi either. Unexpectedly, Li Tianxin held the record in her hand and retorted, ¡°If you say so, it means that you don¡¯t understand. This record is a limited edition. It has been released for a long time and has only been released dozens of times. Decades ago, when it was auctioned, it was already worth a lot. At that time, this record was only released in the United States. Only people with special social status can obtain it. ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for this record for three to four years, but there¡¯s no trace of it at all. Those who have this record can¡¯t bear to sell it. The most recent auction was ten years ago, and it was bought by a buyer who didn¡¯t want to show his face for more than a million yuan. What a surprise! 1 didn¡¯t expect to get it in my life.¡± Li Tianxin was very excited as she spoke. It could be seen that she liked this record. Although she was only 18 years old, her status was special. She was also a rich young lady who had seen the world. Since she said that this record was precious, it was really precious. Precious wasn¡¯t the key. The key was that she especially liked it. Jiang Youyi had simply sent a gift to her heart. When Li Tianxin said why this record was precious, the crowd was in an uproar again. ¡°Fuck, oh my god! 1 like Michael Jackson too. I¡¯ve been looking for this record for a long time, but it¡¯s actually in Jiang Youyi¡¯s hands. If I had known, I would have made a move earlier.¡± As a fanatical fan of Michael Jackson, Lin Feng was about to die of regret, but it was too late to regret now. Jiang Youyi had already given it to Li Tianxin. ¡°I¡¯m so happy. This is the most considerate gift I¡¯ve received today.¡± Li Tianxin was still extremely excited. She still had the temperament of a child. Although she had seen the world, she still couldn¡¯t calm down after obtaining her beloved thing. ¡°Tianxin, thank Miss Jiang!¡± Mrs. Li smiled and reminded her daughter. Only then did Li Tianxin react. Before she could thank Jiang Youyi, she said, ¡°Sister Youyi, thank you. I like the gift you gave me so much.¡± After saying that, she even held Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand. It was obvious that she liked Jiang Youyi. This feeling was as if she had met her lifemate. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m just trying my luck. You have everything. I thought you liked music, so 1 gave you this. 1 didn¡¯t expect you to like it so much.¡± Jiang Youyi had always been humble and definitely wouldn¡¯t take credit. ¡°Just don¡¯t think that I¡¯m being shabby by giving you this.¡± ¡°Shabby? How can it be shabby? It¡¯s too precious,¡± Li Tianxin quickly retorted. She seemed to want to tell the world how much she liked this. Previously, Li Tianxin wasn¡¯t as excited or happy as those who sent luxury cars and mansions. ¡°Could this record be a pirated version? How can Jiang Youyi obtain such a precious thing? 1 don¡¯t believe it.¡± Someone in the crowd began to doubt again. The person who spoke was none other than Wu Yan, Wu Chen¡¯s biological sister, the eldest daughter of Xinglong Real Estate. The reason why she said that was because she did not like Jiang Youyi. As for why she did not like Jiang Youyi? It was because of Xu Yuning. Jiang Youyi broke off the engagement. She felt that it was not worth it for Xu Yuning. She felt that all his years of relationship had been fed to the dogs. When Wu Yan said this, many people began to doubt it. ¡°That¡¯s right! There should be a lot of pirated versions of this thing! 1 think it can be bought online..¡± Chapter 114 - Chapter 114: Very Tempting Chapter 114: Very Tempting Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Miss Li, be careful! Jiang Youyi¡¯s reputation isn¡¯t good, so it¡¯s possible for her to give fake goods.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that 1 don¡¯t know how to appraise this thing. If only someone could appraise it.¡± ¡°Just now, she even said that Miss Liu¡¯s blue and white porcelain was fake. Now, it¡¯s her turn. How funny.¡± *** Most of these people were here to watch the show. Jiang Youyi wanted to explain, but Li Tianxin beat her to it. ¡°Miss Wu, do you know music?¡± ¡°I know a little!¡± Wu Yan said proudly. A prestigious noble like her had learned musical instruments since she was young and only knew a few simple things. ¡°If Miss Wu understands, you must know that such a precious record will be printed with the unique code of the publisher. This can¡¯t be forged.¡± Then, Li Tianxin took out her phone. Because she especially liked records, she had a special appraisal software. She scanned the record and came up with the results. ¡°This record is real. I¡¯ve already tested it,¡± Li Tianxin said firmly. ¡°Miss Wu, you won¡¯t suspect it now, right?¡± After saying that, Li Tianxin rolled her eyes at Wu Yan. ¡°Tianxin, put away the record! It¡¯ll be the dance segment in a while.¡± Seeing that Li Tianxin was about to argue with Wu Yan, Mrs. Li hurriedly came over to interrupt. Now, the three most important families in Ocean City were the Lu family, the Wu family, and the Xu family. She didn¡¯t want to offend any of them. Li Tianxin felt that Wu Yan did it on purpose, so she ignored her and looked at Jiang Youyi warmly. ¡°Sister Youyi, can we exchange our WeChat IDs?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Jiang Youyi smiled and took out her phone. She added Li Tianxin on WeChat in front of everyone. ¡°Sister Youyi, it must not have been easy for you to get this record. I¡¯m really grateful that you gave it to me.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me. This kind of thing has to be given to people who understand it before it¡¯s valuable.¡± Jiang Youyi had never chased after celebrities, so she was not too excited when she received this record. She could say that she had obtained this thing without spending a single cent. However, in the eyes of those who liked it, it was a priceless treasure. It was Jiang Youyi who found out that Li Tianxin liked Michael Jackson, so she knew that Li Tianxin would definitely like him. In the beginning, she had a headache because she didn¡¯t know what to give Li Tianxin. This gift had to be expensive, but Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to spend so much money yet. Unexpectedly, Li Tianxin liked it so much. The little girl was so excited that tears almost flowed out! Jiang Youyi¡¯s last gift was highly approved by Li Tianxin. It could be said that she was in the limelight. Jiang Youyi felt that many jealous eyes were looking at her. Immediately after, it was the ball segment. As soon as it started, Lu Yunxiao came to Jiang Youyi. When he arrived beside Jiang Youyi, Lu Yunxiao was about to hold her hand and let her dance with him. But before they could hold hands, they heard someone interrupt. ¡°President Lu! Wait!¡± It was Mrs. Li. Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao turned around to look at her. At the same time, Lu Yunxiao retracted his hand. ¡°President Lu, 1 wonder if I can invite you to dance with my daughter,¡± Mrs. Li said very politely. She didn¡¯t want Lu Yunxiao to be her son-in-law, but she felt that Lu Yunxiao was good-looking. If he danced with her daughter, it would improve her taste. This way, when she chose a husband in the future, she would not randomly bring one home. Even if Lu Yunxiao wasn¡¯t as rich as he is now, Mrs. Li was willing to do so just because he was handsome. ¡°President Lu, Mr. Richest Man, Mrs. Li invited you to dance with her daughter! Don¡¯t waste other people¡¯s good intentions,¡± Jiang Youyi said sarcastically. Mrs. Li had already spoken. If he rejected her directly, he would definitely not give her face. Hence, Lu Yunxiao still left. However, before he left, he warned Jiang Youyi, ¡°Don¡¯t run around. 1¡¯11 be back in a while. Also, don¡¯t dance with Xu Yuning. Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Jiang Youyi was indignant. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you up.¡± Lu Yunxiao was half-joking and half-serious. Jiang Youyi was speechless. Actually, Xu Yuning had been waiting for an opportunity. After seeing Jiang Youyi surprise him again and again, he wanted to get to know her as soon as possible. Wasn¡¯t the ball segment a good opportunity? Here, a man could invite the lady he liked to dance. Dancing could close the distance between the two of them. It could be said that there were many whispers that others could not hear. Moreover, he had never danced with Jiang Youyi before. This was very tempting to him.. Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Pick Me Up From School Chapter 115: Pick Me Up From School Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Brother, hurry up. Many men want to invite Sister Youyi to dance!¡± Xu Pingping hurriedly pushed Xu Yuning. Although her mother did not allow Xu Yuning to interact with Jiang Youyi, she knew that her brother still liked Jiang Youyi, so she started to encourage him. Xu Yuning was also exceptionally nervous. After being assisted by his sister, he hurriedly tidied his suit jacket and walked towards Jiang Youyi. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by someone after taking a few steps. ¡°Xu Yuning, do you want to dance with me?¡± Lin Feng stood in front of Xu Yuning and was a few centimeters taller than him. Xu Yuning was so frightened that he retreated. Xu Yuning was speechless. After confirming that the person standing in front of him was Lin Feng, he finally said, ¡°Are you crazy?¡± ¡°President Xu, dance with me!¡± Lin Feng said sarcastically, but his stomach was already churning. ¡°Lin Feng, can you not disgust me here?¡± Not only was Lin Feng¡¯s stomach churning violently, but Xu Yuning also felt disgusted when he saw Lin Feng like this. How could two men dance? Even if they could dance, he would not dance with Lin Feng. There was a grudge between them to begin with. In the past, when they were in school, they also liked a girl. Later on, when they left the school, they were arch-enemies in their careers. Xu Yuning felt that they were born enemies. Usually, when they appeared at the banquet at the same time, the two of them would pretend not to know each other, let alone invite him to dance. What kind of evil spirit did he encounter today? Why was it like this? Xu Yuning was dumbfounded by Lin Feng¡¯s words. Not far away, Wang Jiangbei looked at the two of them and laughed. Wang Jiangbei knew that Jiang Youtian had instructed Lin Feng to protect her sister. He also knew that Lin Feng would definitely work hard for this matter. He just did not expect Lin Feng to be so valiant as to invite a person he hated to dance. ¡°I¡¯m definitely not sick. My main goal is not to let you go over.¡± Lin Feng was very straightforward. He could not be bothered to beat around the bush with Xu Yuning. For Jiang Youtian, he was willing to sacrifice everything. Hence, he had to protect Jiang Youyi and not let anyone get close to her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you being a busybody?¡± Xu Yuning wanted to continue arguing, but he was suddenly hugged from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Wu Yan. Her foundation number was very light. When she put it on her face, she looked like a dead person. Most importantly, her foundation was cakey. Seeing Wu Yan like this, Xu Yuning felt disgusted. ¡°Xu Yuning, I¡¯m here to protect you,¡± Wu Yan said in a hoarse voice. ¡°Miss Wu¡­ Don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Xu Yuning felt extremely uncomfortable being hugged like this. He did not like this type at all. In fact, he hated it a little. However, Wu Yan refused to let go. ¡°I won¡¯t. Unless you agree to dance with me, I won¡¯t let go. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let that guy bully you.¡± When Wu Yan saw that Lin Feng had come to look for Xu Yuning, she thought that Lin Feng would bully him. Hence, she wanted to save Xu Yuning from trouble. Wu Yan did not care that so many people were looking at her and just hugged Xu Yuning tightly. Xu Yuning was extremely embarrassed. Seeing that Xu Yuning was being pestered by Wu Yan, Lin Feng hurriedly ran away. He had to find Jiang Youyi quickly. Jiang Youyi was in the limelight at the banquet today and received the favor of many men. Hence, there would naturally be people who wanted to dance with her. For example, Wu Chen or others who had been staring at her. Jiang Youyi had not expected such a situation. In a moment of desperation, she looked around and thought of a bad idea. She hurriedly ran to a boy and snatched the cake from his hand. ¡°1 know how to make a lot of delicious food. Do you want to eat it?¡± The boy looked at her in confusion. ¡°Do you need me to give you something in exchange?¡± As expected of a child from a rich family, she knew how to make an equivalent exchange since she was young. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult. Just dance with me.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ If I¡¯m not wrong, is it because you¡¯re too ugly and no one wants to dance with you that you came to look for me to ease the awkwardness?¡± The boy laughed demonically. ¡°Yes¡­ you can say that!¡± Jiang Youyi answered readily. ¡°1 really know how to make a lot of delicious food. Don¡¯t you want to eat?¡± Jiang Youyi was afraid that the other party would reject her and still seduce him. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to dance with you, but I have a request.¡± The boy thought for a moment. ¡°What request? Tell me quickly.¡± Time was tight! Jiang Youyi wanted to quickly become a dance partner with the boy in front of her. The boy approached her unhurriedly and whispered, ¡°Come and pick me up from school on Monday..¡± Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: If You Speak Anymore, Ill Bite You! Chapter 116: If You Speak Anymore, I¡¯ll Bite You! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi thought that he would want snacks and toys, but she didn¡¯t expect him to make such a request. She was guessing the boy¡¯s motive, but there was no time for her to think too much now. Wu Chen was already here. Just as Wu Chen was about to speak, Jiang Youyi grabbed the boy¡¯s hand. ¡°I agree.¡± Then, she turned to Wu Chen. ¡°Sorry, sir, you¡¯re late.¡± Then, she raised the boy¡¯s hand, indicating to Wu Chen that she was going to dance with this boy now. Wu Chen was speechless. The boy in front of Jiang Youyi looked to be about ten years old. Was Jiang Youyi really going to dance with this boy? ¡°Miss Jiang, you don¡¯t want to dance with me, but you don¡¯t have to use a child as a shield, right?¡± Wu Chen frowned. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to dance with you! I just think this boy is cute. I like to dance with him,¡± Jiang Youyi explained immediately. She was very calm and did not look flustered at all. The boy looked at the awkward Wu Chen and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Then, he held Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Jiang Youyi has already danced with me. Go somewhere else!¡± After Wu Chen heard this, he gritted his teeth. In the end, he did not invite Jiang Youyi and could only leave helplessly. ¡°No¡­ How do you know my name?¡± Jiang Youyi was very puzzled. ¡°You were in the limelight at the banquet today. Who doesn¡¯t know you? You¡¯re very smart. Although many people dug a hole for you, you cleverly dodged them,¡± the boy praised her. Although this boy looked young, he could see things that adults could understand. He was really extraordinary. ¡°You¡¯re also very smart.¡± Then, she and the boy entered the dance floor with the music. Jiang Youyi was not good at dancing, but the boy was very good at it. It was obvious that he had specially learned it. ¡°How should I address you, Young Sir?¡± Jiang Youyi was curious. ¡°My name is Sun Wenhao.¡± Sun Wenhao replied. ¡°Got it, Little Haohao,¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°Don¡¯t call me by my nickname!¡± Sun Wenhao didn¡¯t seem to like Jiang Youyi calling him that. ¡°Then what should I call you?¡± Jiang Youyi was puzzled. ¡°Call me by my name.¡± Sun Wenhao was a mischievous person. ¡°Sure, Sun Wenhao.¡± Jiang Youyi chuckled. ¡°Eh? What cartoon do you like to watch?¡± Jiang Youyi casually found a topic. ¡°I don¡¯t like to watch cartoons. I like to watch ¡®Young and Dangerous¡¯,¡± Sun Wenhao said firmly. ¡°Young and Dangerous? Did I hear wrongly? Can you understand?¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°What¡¯s there to understand? I¡¯m not stupid,¡± Sun Wenhao said. Jiang Youyi felt that it was true, so she nodded. ¡°Jiang Youyi?¡± Sun Wenhao suddenly called her name. ¡°What?¡± Jiang Youyi was puzzled. ¡°Do you want to be the woman of a gangster?¡± Sun Wenhao asked seriously. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t understand what he meant. ¡°If you want to become the woman of a gangster, then wait for me for a few years. When I grow up, I¡¯ll marry you.¡± Sun Wenhao didn¡¯t seem to be joking. His small face looked very serious. Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but laugh loudly after being confessed to by such a young boy. Everyone around her was attracted by her laughter and turned to look at her. Lu Yunxiao¡¯s gaze was also attracted to her. At this moment, he was dancing with Li Tianxin. Although he was dancing, he still maintained a certain social distance. Seeing that Jiang Youyi was actually chatting happily with a boy and even dancing, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Miss Li, why don¡¯t we change partners!¡± Before Li Tianxin could understand what he meant, Lu Yunxiao pushed her out and to Jiang Youyi¡¯s side. Then, Lu Yunxiao quickly brought Jiang Youyi to him. Jiang Youyi, Li Tianxin, and Sun Wenhao were all stunned. Just like that, they switched places. Lu Yunxiao was so domineering. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, are you in low spirits?¡± Jiang Youyi was chatting quite well with Sun Wenhao. When she was suddenly caught, she felt that Lu Yunxiao was deliberately messing with her. Lu Yunxiao was still angry. He hugged Jiang Youyi¡¯s waist and looked at her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t speak. If you speak again, I¡¯ll bite you.¡± Seeing that Lu Yunxiao was really a little angry, Jiang Youyi immediately shut up and didn¡¯t dare to say anything else. Just like that, Jiang Youyi became Lu Yunxiao¡¯s dance partner. The two of them danced on the dance floor. As for Xu Yuning, he was already pestered by Wu Yan and could not escape. Jiang Youyi had already become Lu Yunxiao¡¯s dance partner. It was impossible for Xu Yuning to get close to her. A few socialites took a fancy to Wu Chen and asked for his contact details. They even quarreled because of him. Seeing that there was a commotion here, Mrs. Li hurriedly came over to make peace.. Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: Cant Spend It Casually Chapter 117: Can¡¯t Spend It Casually Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Bai Bing didn¡¯t have it easy either. From the beginning of the ball, she wanted to invite Lu Yunxiao to dance. She felt that the two families had a good relationship and Lu Yunxiao wouldn¡¯t disagree. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li found Lu Yunxiao first and asked him to dance with Li Tianxin. She did not dare to offend Mrs. Li, so she could only wait. She thought about finding Lu Yunxiao for the second song. At this moment, she was dancing with a man she did not like very much. After the song was over, she went to look for Lu Yunxiao. To her surprise, before Lu Yunxiao and Li Tian could finish their dance, they changed partners. It was Jiang Youyi. For a moment, Bai Bing felt like she was going to faint. Recently, Jiang Youyi had been in scandals with Lu Yunxiao, and the Internet was also trending. Everyone was just observing and felt that it was half-true. Now that he was dancing with Jiang Youyi, it attracted a lot of heated discussion. ¡°Do you think Lu Yunxiao and Jiang Youyi are real?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. I feel that Lu Yunxiao is quite obsessed with Jiang Youyi.¡± ¡°Yes, Jiang Youyi is quite good-looking. Perhaps Lu Yunxiao will be tempted.¡± ¡°What kind of woman hasn¡¯t Lu Yunxiao seen before? He¡¯s definitely not interested in looks. I think Jiang Youyi has a lot of personality. He might be attracted by her personality.¡± *** Now, these people no longer felt that there was anything embarrassing about Jiang Youyi breaking off the engagement. Instead, they felt that her and Lu Yunxiao¡¯s gossips were delicious. Bai Bing¡¯s heart turned cold, and her head felt dizzy. In her absent-mindedness, she stepped on her partner¡¯s foot. The man was in pain, but because he was polite, he did not make much noise. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Bai Bing hurriedly apologized. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it doesn¡¯t hurt. Is there something on your mind? I feel that your mind isn¡¯t on dancing.¡± The man liked Bai Bing¡¯s beauty, so he didn¡¯t blame her. Instead, he was concerned. However, Bai Bing did not care about his concern at all. She did not even want to answer him. She only smiled helplessly. On the other hand, Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao were chatting enthusiastically. ¡°You don¡¯t even let a child off. You¡¯re really all-powerful!¡± Lu Yunxiao reprimanded. ¡°You¡¯re not any better. You¡¯re jealous of a child and petty,¡± Jiang Youyi retorted. ¡°The Sun family isn¡¯t easy to deal with. You¡¯d better not provoke them,¡± Lu Yunxiao reminded her. ¡°Could it be that the Lu family is good?¡± Jiang Youyi asked instead. Lu Yunxiao was speechless. At the same time, Wang Jiangbei found a random dance partner and danced on the dance floor. Lin Feng hid in a corner and sent Jiang Youtian a WeChat message. Lin Feng: Tiantian, I¡¯m protecting Jiang Youyi well. I¡¯m very obedient to you! Jiang Youtian: How¡¯s my sister? Lin Feng: She¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t need to do anything. Jiang Youtian: I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll cause trouble. Lin Feng: It¡¯s all because of others. However, she was very tenacious and defeated those people. Jiang Youtian: Why does it sound like it¡¯s not good? Lin Feng: Very good. Although she defeated those people, Xu Yuning still wanted to harass her, but I stopped him. How is it? Do I make you feel at ease? Jiang Youtian: You did well, President Lin. Thank you! Lin Feng: You¡¯re welcome. Jiang Youtian: I¡¯ll treat you to a meal later. Lin Feng: I don¡¯t want to eat¡­ I want to take a shower¡­ Jiang Youtian was speechless. Lin Feng: Don¡¯t think too much. It¡¯s just a hot spring. Jiang Youtian: It¡¯s my turn. I¡¯m going to film. I¡¯ll talk to you later. When Jiang Youtian heard that Lin Feng wanted to take a shower, she felt goosebumps all over her body. To be honest, she was a little afraid and quickly found an excuse not to talk to Lin Feng. Jiang Youtian did not know when she started to care about Jiang Youyi. Perhaps it was because she saw that she had broken up with Xu Yuning and felt that she might be sad and wanted to care more about her. Perhaps it was because Jiang Youyi always spoke in the family group chat and even thoughtfully prepared gifts for her family, thinking that she was sensible. Or perhaps she was afraid that Lu Yunxiao would hurt her when she saw that she was related to Lu Yunxiao. *** Jiang Youyi was still dancing with Lu Yunxiao. Lu Yunxiao held her waist. They were very close. Lu Yunxiao leaned into her ear and asked, ¡°There will be another segment after the ball. Do you know what it is?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Why should I know that? It¡¯s better if I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Lu Yunxiao was puzzled. ¡°There seem to be many pitfalls waiting for me to jump into this banquet. In other words, I don¡¯t know the details. Since I don¡¯t know, I won¡¯t participate. I might even save some money!¡± Jiang Youyi felt that these were the best arrangements. She wasn¡¯t rich, so she couldn¡¯t squander them casually.. Chapter 118 - Chapter 118: Embarrassing Chapter 118: Embarrassing Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What are you thinking? Your thoughts are different from others.¡± Lu Yunxiao felt that Jiang Youyi¡¯s thoughts were too special. ¡°That proves that I¡¯m different!¡± Jiang Youyi felt that this version of herself was very precious. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that it will be awkward later?¡± Lu Yunxiao was worried for her. ¡°So be it! I¡¯m always embarrassed anyway.¡± Jiang Youyi felt that she was going to die of embarrassment at this banquet. ¡°You seem to be right.¡± Lu Yunxiao had to admit defeat. *** After the song ended, Jiang Youyi immediately pushed Lu Yunxiao away, not wanting to stay by his side any longer. Then she went to get a drink. She was a little thirsty. At this moment, Sun Wenhao, who was dancing with her, came over and stood in front of her. He said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you promised me. I¡¯m in Childe International Primary School, Class 7 of the sixth year. School ends at 4:30 p.m.¡± ¡°There seemed to be a traffic jam at that time!¡± Jiang Youyi quickly found an excuse. Sun Wenhao¡¯s expression changed. ¡°Are you trying to break the contract?¡± ¡°No!¡± Jiang Youyi said lightly. ¡°Then hurry up and pick me up from school on Monday. Also, bring the delicious food you made.¡± After saying that, Sun Wenhao turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Youyi¡¯s reply. Jiang Youyi was left alone, drinking her drink. She leaned against the edge of the table without any image. She did whatever she wanted, feeling relaxed and at ease. Xu Yuning looked at Jiang Youyi and found her cute. She was different from other socialites. She did not have a high and mighty attitude. At this moment, Xu Yuning hated himself very much. Why did he have to go out and find a mistress to ruin his marriage with Jiang Youyi? Initially, he thought that Jiang Youyi was silly and cute, so she would not discover it. But he was wrong. Actually, Jiang Youyi was very smart, even smarter than others. He had dug his own grave and could not blame anyone else. The host on stage picked up the microphone and began to speak. ¡°The next segment is definitely the charity auction that everyone is looking forward to the most. I hope that everyone can take out their precious items and auction them. All the proceeds will be handed over to the charity. This can be considered a blessing for yourself and your family! I hope everyone will participate enthusiastically and move to Hall 5. Mrs. Li also promised that the highest bidder today, Mrs. Li and Secretary Li, will meet him alone. Lastly, a huge thanks to Mrs. Li¡¯s hospitality.¡± After the host finished speaking, the people below the stage began to get excited. The person with the highest bid could actually meet with Mrs. Li and Secretary Li alone? Mrs. Li wasn¡¯t the key. The key was that they could meet Secretary Li. There were too many developers who didn¡¯t even have the chance to find such a chance. The host spoke very gracefully, but anyone who understood the meaning behind his words could tell that he was actually giving them a chance. Wu Chen seemed to be very excited. ¡°Sister, I must get first place in this auction.¡± The Wu family and the Li family had a good relationship. Although Secretary Li had never specially taken care of the Wu family¡¯s business, the two families still had contact, but they only had contact with Mrs. Li. The Wu family¡¯s business was obtained through the joint efforts of three generations. It had nothing to do with Secretary Li, but the previous leaders must have taken care of it. Wu Chen really wanted to climb up Secretary Li¡¯s tree, so he was determined to get it tonight. ¡°Brother, I brought a jade necklace today. The color is especially good. It¡¯s not the kind that¡¯s commonly seen on the market. It can probably be auctioned for a few million yuan. The first place tonight will definitely be yours.¡± Wu Yan was also very confident. The Wu family was a big family. No one could compare to them. After listening to the host, Xu Pingping frowned and said to Xu Yuning, ¡°It¡¯s unexpected! I didn¡¯t expect to have a chance to meet them alone. Shouldn¡¯t we call home and ask what to do?¡± Xu Yuning thought for a moment and said to Xu Pingping, ¡°There¡¯s no need. Even if we get a chance to meet alone, it won¡¯t be of much use. Our family¡¯s business is already doing very well now. We don¡¯t need to resort to tricks. Just take out the things we want to auction in a while. As long as Mrs. Li sees us participating, it¡¯s fine. We don¡¯t need to get first place. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Brother, Sister Youyi definitely doesn¡¯t know about this segment, and she definitely won¡¯t prepare anything.¡± In Xu Pingping¡¯s opinion, it was already not easy for Jiang Youyi to take out that limited edition record. She knew that Jiang Youyi definitely wouldn¡¯t prepare anything for such a segment. She couldn¡¯t even see any jewelry on her. She didn¡¯t seem to be wearing any earrings.. Under such circumstances, Jiang Youyi would definitely be embarrassed later, right? Chapter 119 - Chapter 119: Whats the Difference Between This and a Kiss? Chapter 119: What¡¯s the Difference Between This and a Kiss? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Mrs. Li probably didn¡¯t know about Youyi before, but why did she target her every time?¡± Xu Yuning really couldn¡¯t figure it out. Mrs. Li¡¯s status was so high. Why did she have to be angry with a little girl? Besides, they didn¡¯t know each other. At this moment, Lin Feng walked towards Jiang Youyi. After coming to her side, he casually took a drink. ¡°Alone?¡± Lin Feng looked at Jiang Youyi. ¡°Yes!¡± Jiang Youyi agreed lightly. ¡°Tiantian asked me to take care of you at the banquet. I did my best. Xu Yuning wanted to look for you just now, but I stopped him.¡± Lin Feng was not here to take credit. He was just explaining the truth to Jiang Youyi. He felt that she needed to know. ¡°Thank you!¡± Jiang Youyi smiled. She had a good impression of Lin Feng. This person did not put on airs and was quite funny. However, she also knew that her sister did not seem to like this type. ¡°No one told you in advance that there was an auction segment today, right?¡± Lin Feng took a sip of his drink and asked. ¡°No one told me.¡± Jiang Youyi felt helpless. ¡°We were informed in advance, but it seems that you were the only one who wasn¡¯t informed. That¡¯s strange! You don¡¯t seem to have any conflict with Mrs. Li. Why is she targeting you like this?¡± Lin Feng also felt that there was something strange about this matter. ¡°Sigh! I don¡¯t know.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t understand either. ¡°If you didn¡¯t receive the notice in advance, it means that you didn¡¯t prepare anything. The host said just now that you have to take out precious things. The other socialites have prepared them, but you didn¡¯t.¡± Lin Feng was a little vexed. This auction was like this. The socialites were in charge of taking out their precious things, while the men were in charge of bidding for the items. In other words, they were taking money. Jiang Youyi was also very helpless. She opened her bag and showed it to Lin Feng. ¡°Look, there¡¯s nothing.¡± In her bag, there was only the Michael Jackson record. There was nothing in her bag now. ¡°I¡¯ll help you!¡± Since Lin Feng was entrusted by Jiang Youtian, he would do his best. ¡°No need. I can do it myself.¡± Jiang Youyi was very stubborn. ¡°Mrs. Li is quite tactful. She clearly wants money, but she insists on doing charity work. However, there¡¯s really no way to criticize her. After all, the money is donated to charity in the end.¡± Lin Feng sighed. ¡°I think it¡¯s similar to robbery. She doesn¡¯t hold back when robbing rich people like you,¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°You¡¯re quite good at describing. In that case, Mrs. Li is a bandit? Hahaha!¡± Lin Feng was amused by Jiang Youyi. ¡°You¡¯re just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. She¡¯s the butcher who specializes in attacking you.¡± Jiang Youyi actually sympathized with them a little. ¡°It¡¯s just a meeting. What¡¯s so great about it? He¡¯s just a secretary. Even the president doesn¡¯t have such treatment, right?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t say. There are really people who are willing to fight to meet him, and there are many of them.¡± Lin Feng was also in the business world, so he naturally knew what those people were thinking. At this moment, Lu Yunxiao and Wang Jiangbei were walking towards Jiang Youyi, but they were intercepted halfway. Bai Bing blocked his way. ¡°Yunxiao!¡± Her voice was a little loud, as if she wanted everyone to hear her. Moreover, she called out very intimately, Yunxiao. ¡°What?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked calmly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to pay a high price to get first place at the auction. My mother has a good relationship with Mrs. Li. If you want to meet Secretary Li, I have a way.¡± Bai Bing smiled. Bai Bing was very scheming. Right now, she was telling Lu Yunxiao that he didn¡¯t have to work hard. He could get what he wanted at any time. ¡°I¡¯m very grateful to you, but I don¡¯t need it,¡± Lu Yunxiao said coldly. Bai Bing wanted to persuade him again, but Lu Yunxiao ignored her and walked past her to Jiang Youyi¡¯s side. Jiang Youyi was holding a drink in her hand. Lu Yunxiao looked at it and snatched it over. He raised the glass and took a sip. Jiang Youyi had drunk this before. Everyone who saw it was dumbfounded. Jiang Youyi was also very surprised. What¡¯s going on? Why did he snatch my drink? Doesn¡¯t he know how to take it himself? Bai Bing: How heartbreaking! He actually drank the beverage she drank before. Lin Feng: He seemed to have done it on purpose, for Bai Bing to see? Wang Jiangbei: As expected of Lu Yunxiao. He¡¯s really ruthless! After drinking it, he was still frowning and his face was a little distorted. ¡°Orange juice tastes terrible. I think strawberry juice is better.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. What was the difference between using the same cup and kissing? Everyone was still stunned on the spot. The host had already begun to call everyone into the venue. Next was the charity auction that everyone was looking forward to.. Chapter 120 - Chapter 120: Embroidery Chapter 120: Embroidery Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Follow me!¡± Lu Yunxiao said domineeringly. Then, he held Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand domineeringly and pulled her forward without waiting for her to react. Bai Bing, who was watching from the side, was stunned. Back then, she and Lu Yunxiao had agreed to have a fair duel with Jiang Youyi. But now, it seemed that Lu Yunxiao was definitely on Jiang Youyi¡¯s side. Wasn¡¯t this a little unfair? Bai Bing couldn¡¯t help but feel heartache. ¡°Pfft¡­ Bai Bing seems to be dumbfounded.¡± Lin Feng chuckled. Wang Jiangbei couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°She doesn¡¯t know our richest man yet. Lu Yunxiao never plays according to the normal way of doing things. No one can control what he wants to do.¡± ¡°Hey! You drank my drink.¡± ¡°What of it?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already drunk it, and you¡¯re drinking it at the place I drank it from.¡± ¡°And?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? How am I supposed to face Bai Bing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy.¡± ¡°I finally understand now. Bai Bing must have targeted me because of you.¡± Jiang Youyi was indeed not stupid. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t answer her. He just chuckled and continued to pull her into the venue domineeringly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you too scheming? In order to reject Bai Bing, you used me as a shield? You¡¯re so ruthless!¡± Jiang Youyi complained, but Lu Yunxiao had already pulled her to the venue. There were many cameras and socialites. Lu Yunxiao suddenly stopped when he reached here. Then, he lowered his head and kissed Jiang Youyi¡¯s face gently. Fuck me! Everyone exploded! The cameras began to take photos non-stop. This was a famous scene! Lu Yunxiao, President Lu, the richest man, actually kissed Jiang Youyi in front of so many cameras and everyone! Wasn¡¯t this too unbelievable? ¡°Damn, Rich Man Lu actually kissed her in front of so many people.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t the first time. I still remember what happened last time!¡± ¡°It seems like Lu Yunxiao really likes Jiang Youyi.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t everyone say that Bai Bing is Lu Yunxiao¡¯s real girlfriend? Why did it change so easily?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the difference between this and an official announcement?¡± ¡°Maybe Jiang Youyi is living a good life! She¡¯s happy serving the richest man in the world.¡± *** Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth, her face already red. I¡¯m living well? What nonsense are you talking about? Your entire family is living well! Jiang Youyi regretted it. She shouldn¡¯t have attended this banquet back then. She had been tricked by Lu Yunxiao. She felt like a sitting duck. The gazes of those socialites were like bullets. Other than Xu Pingping and Li Tianxin, all the other socialites wanted to kill her, right? Wu Yan was so angry that he almost rushed forward to slap Jiang Youyi¡¯s mouth! Xie Zhenzhen also found it unbelievable. What was so good about Jiang Youyi that she was worthy of the attention from the richest man? Bai Bing was the saddest. She and her mother had finally persuaded Mrs. Li to hold this banquet because they wanted to show off here and show off to Jiang Youyi. Not only did she fail to show off her strength, she even saw the two of them being so intimate! Bai Bing¡¯s heart ached as much as it could. After the blush on Jiang Youyi¡¯s face subsided, she gritted her teeth and said in an extremely low voice, ¡°You actually dared to kiss me in front of so many people without my permission. I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t care at all. He said lightly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely be responsible for kissing you. I¡¯ll buy whatever you take out at the auction later at the highest price.¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned. Was what he said true? Just as she was thinking this, Lu Yunxiao pulled her forward and they sat together. On the left was Lin Feng, and on the right was Lu Yunxiao. The two of them sandwiched her in the middle. Xu Yuning did not even have a chance to interact with her. After sitting down, the host also went on stage. He held the microphone and said loudly, ¡°Let¡¯s invite Miss Bai Bing on stage. She will bring her auction item to show everyone.¡± The first was Bai Bing, which showed how much he valued her. In such a short period of time, Bai Bing had changed into another gown. It was light gold and looked very elegant and generous. She slowly walked onto the stage with an LV box in her hand. ¡°Miss Bai, can you show us your item?¡± the host asked. Bai Bing nodded and opened the LV box. She took out something that looked like a handkerchief. After showing it to the camera and everyone, he slowly said, ¡°This is an embroidery called Mandarin Ducks Playing with Water.¡± The cameras began to take photos. Some of the guests below the stage took out their phones to take photos. It could be seen how much attention this embroidery had received. Then, the host continued to ask, ¡°May I ask which famous artist this embroidery is from?¡± The host was very polite. After all, it was under Bai Bing, so he was naturally respectful to her.. Chapter 121 - Chapter 121: Thunderous Applause Chapter 121: Thunderous Applause Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°This embroidery is not from any famous person. I used an entire year to embroider it. Moreover, it¡¯s a double-sided embroidery.¡± When everyone heard her say this, they could not help but be shocked. No one expected Bai Bing to know this. Most importantly, it was a double-sided embroidery. It looked very difficult. When the host heard this, he also revealed a shocked expression. ¡°Double-sided embroidery? Really?¡± After Bai Bing heard this, she flipped the embroidery again. Indeed, there was an article on the back. In front was a mandarin duck playing with the water, and behind it was a flower blooming. It was really amazing. The host¡¯s mouth fell open. He paused for a moment and continued, ¡°It¡¯s really a double-sided embroidery with flowers blooming at the back. This is really difficult! How did you do it?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, there¡¯s a history between us. Our family has a good relationship with the double-sided embroidery master, Ms. Zheng. I also invited her to my show previously. Later, I took her as my master and learned double-sided embroidery from her. That¡¯s why I have this work today.¡± Bai Bing smiled as she spoke. Although this double-sided embroidery was very difficult, there was no hint of pride in her eyes. She was very well-mannered. ¡°Is it Ms. Zheng Xin?¡± The host quickly asked. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Ms. Zheng Xin, the 18th generation successor of Double-sided embroidery,¡± Bai Bing replied. When she said this, the socialites below the stage couldn¡¯t help but be envious. To be able to become Ms. Zheng Xin¡¯s disciple, didn¡¯t that mean that Bai Bing was also a successor? It gave people an extraordinary feeling. ¡°Miss Bai, can you give us a simple introduction to double-sided embroidery? I think many people don¡¯t know, so let us understand.¡± The host was really flattering Bai Bing. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll be succinct. The history of double-sided embroidery dates back to the Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, the royal family had already started to use it. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was already at its peak. Many concubines in the palace loved to use double-sided fan or brocade handkerchiefs. During the Republic of China, ordinary people could also use double-sided embroidery, but only rich people could use it. As there were very few people who knew double-sided embroidery, there were very few works. Naturally, they were extremely precious.¡± ¡°Damn, she actually made embroidery. It¡¯s even a double-sided embroidery. It¡¯s really competitive!¡± Lin Feng couldn¡¯t believe his eyes and what he had heard just now. It was as if he had been brought back to ancient times. Bai Bing was really something! ¡°Miss Bai is indeed not an ordinary person. Not everyone can show off such a thing. She¡¯s too talented.¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Although Bai Bing had gone against her previously, she had to admit that this embroidery was really excellent. ¡°What¡¯s so great about it? You can compete with her.¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t take it seriously at all. His reaction was different from others. ¡°I think I¡¯ll pass! I¡¯m not that talented, but I quite like this double-sided embroidery. Can you bid for it for me?¡± Jiang Youyi said and looked at Lu Yunxiao tentatively. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t believe that she liked it. He chuckled. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I¡¯ll only buy your things.¡± ¡°Miss Bai, what¡¯s your price for this double-sided embroidery?¡± the host continued to ask. ¡°Let¡¯s make it 80,000 yuan! It¡¯s auspicious.¡± Bai Bing smiled and continued, ¡°This embroidery symbolizes peace. The front is a mandarin duck playing in the water, and the back is a flower blooming. It symbolizes beautiful love. If any man likes it, he can give it to his girlfriend in the future.¡± With this sales pitch, the double-sided embroidery became even more popular. A tycoon immediately raised his card. ¡°I bid 150,000.¡± More and more people raised their cards. After a few rounds, the price increased to 800,000. In the end, they stopped with 850,000. Bai Bing was definitely pleased with such a high price. Before she left the stage, she even gave Jiang Youyi a provocative look. The next person to go on stage was the daughter of the finance minister, Zhang Kehui. She was performing. A staff member brought up an expensive piano. Then, she sat on the piano stool and began to play. She played ¡°Reminiscences de Don Juan¡±, a piano piece by Liszt, based on Mozart¡¯s opera Don Juan. Originally, Don Juan was very long, but after being adapted by Liszt, it became short. However, shortness did not mean that it was simple. Instead, it was more difficult. The rhythm and technique of this tune were very difficult to control. Very few people played it. Zhang Kehui played this song the moment she came up. It could be seen that her piano foundation was not ordinary. The daughters of rich families all had some talent. Her performance was extremely ingenious, as if Liszt was playing the piano again. The people below the stage applauded after listening to the song.. Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: Can’t Bear to Look Chapter 122: Can¡¯t Bear to Look Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After all, they were all from the wealthy circle and were familiar with the piano. They could tell that Zhang Kehui was very powerful. Her performance was recorded by a recording artist at the side. It would be engraved into a disc later. What she was auctioning today was the disc that was about to be born. In the end, a rich kid bought this piano piece for 600,000 yuan and prepared to take it home. When he had nothing to do, he would take it out to admire it. Then there was Wu Yan¡¯s jade necklace. It was sold for 2.5 million yuan. Although this number was quite silly, she was still proud that Wu Yan had sold it for the highest price. Next was Xu Pingping. She was holding the cicada silk cheongsam that her mother had collected. There was a rich lady who liked to collect cheongsams very much. She bought it for 880,000 yuan. Xie Zhenzhen was the least interested. She took out a Hermes bag that she had just bought as an auction item. A young master who liked her very much bought it for 200,000 yuan. The last to appear was Li Tianxin. Today was her coming-of-age ceremony. Her grandfather had given her a famous painting that he had been collecting as an auction item. In the end, it was sold for 900,000 yuan. Jiang Youyi could not help but be stunned. These people were like fools, throwing money crazily without any hesitation. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Lin Feng looked at her. He often attended such banquets and didn¡¯t find it strange, but it was Jiang Youyi¡¯s first time. ¡°It¡¯s like harvesting chives. It¡¯s too crazy.¡± Jiang Youyi sighed. ¡°Hahaha! You¡¯re right.¡± Lin Feng prostrated himself in admiration. Lin Feng¡¯s laughter was very demonic, attracting many people to look in their direction, including Wu Yan. Seeing that Jiang Youyi had yet to go on stage, Wu Yan immediately asked, ¡°Miss Jiang, why aren¡¯t you on stage? I haven¡¯t seen you take out your beloved things!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Miss Jiang, you¡¯re also contributing to charity, right? Could it be that the Jiang family is petty and refuses to take out anything?¡± There were many people who followed the trend, and they clearly couldn¡¯t stand Jiang Youyi. ¡°These people really don¡¯t go easy on me!¡± Jiang Youyi sighed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them. Just perform.¡± Lin Feng wanted to protect Jiang Youyi. Seeing that this group of people didn¡¯t mind the trouble, he started to give Jiang Youyi ideas. ¡°Talent? Why don¡¯t we do a crosstalk?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. Lin Feng: ¡°But you have to help me. The two of us will go on stage together. One will play the straight man, and the other will play the funny man,¡± Jiang Youyi said again. ¡°No, no, I can¡¯t do it. I can¡¯t do crosstalk.¡± Lin Feng hurriedly declined. If he went on stage to do a crosstalk, it would definitely be on the news the next day. He didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for himself. ¡°Jiang Youyi, we¡¯re all waiting for you to go on stage! Say something! If you say that the Jiang family is stingy and unwilling to contribute to charity, just say it. If you¡¯re stingy, so be it. Don¡¯t hide it.¡± Seeing that Jiang Youyi did not dare to breathe heavily, Wu Yan became even more excited. She was now the highest bidder. She did not believe that Jiang Youyi could be higher than her. Seeing that Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t seem to have any preparations, she made things difficult for her just to embarrass her. Wu Yan was trying her best to embarrass Jiang Youyi. For the sake of her beloved Xu Yuning, she wanted to take revenge on Jiang Youyi. She might even be liked by the Xu family. Xu Yuning was different from what she thought. His heart ached for Jiang Youyi, but he could not bear to see her embarrass herself in front of so many people. Xu Yuning still had Jiang Youyi in his heart. She was his moonlight! ¡°They¡¯re asking you to go on stage, Miss Jiang!¡± Lu Yunxiao looked at her with a wicked smile. ¡°I have nothing to auction. Why don¡¯t I sell you?¡± Jiang Youyi snorted and looked at Yunxiao. ¡°Sure! There¡¯s nothing that can¡¯t be done.¡± Lu Yunxiao was not afraid at all. He was sure that Jiang Youyi did not have the guts. Under the urging of Wu Yan and some people who looked down on Jiang Youyi, she still went on stage. She did not even take anything. She only took a phone. As she went on stage, she threw her bag to Lin Feng. ¡°Help me hold it.¡± Lin Feng held his bag and felt that it was burning his hand. Lu Yunxiao, who was next to him, was looking at him with a needle-like gaze. ¡°Could it be that she wants to sell her phone?¡± Lin Feng looked at Jiang Youyi¡¯s back in confusion and couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Wang Jiangbei was already used to Jiang Youyi¡¯s surprise and was waiting to watch a good show. Lu Yunxiao stretched, wanting to see what else Jiang Youyi could think of. ¡°Miss Jiang, can you show us your item?¡± The host was very respectful. Previously, Jiang Youyi said that he couldn¡¯t speak clearly, but now he didn¡¯t dare to offend her easily, afraid that she would mess with him again. Then, Jiang Youyi raised her phone. Lin Feng couldn¡¯t bear to look at it anymore. He felt that he had guessed something.. Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: What Is A Phone Cover? Chapter 123: What Is A Phone Cover? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Are you going to auction off your phone?¡± The host was stunned for a second. ¡°It¡¯s not a phone, it¡¯s a phone case,¡± Jiang Youyi said as she removed her pink phone case. The people below the stage looked at her every move and felt that she was crazy. Jiang Youyi, on the other hand, didn¡¯t blush. She placed the phone case horizontally and introduced, ¡°This phone case isn¡¯t an ordinary phone case. It can transfer one¡¯s luck. I accidentally obtained it half a month ago. Ever since I had it, my luck has become very good. Benefactors often appear to help me, and those petty people are gone.¡± Then, Jiang Youyi turned the phone back to face everyone. ¡°There¡¯s a little angel behind it, do you understand? It means to protect. The pink color is very auspicious, so I¡¯m not taking a phone cover, but good luck.¡± Host:¡±¡­¡± Everyone below the stage:¡±¡­¡± Media:¡±¡­¡± Staff:¡±¡­¡± ¡°This is really unexpected!¡± Wu Yan felt that her eyes were stinging. Wu Chen, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Youyi in a daze. He really felt that Jiang Youyi was very special. Lin Feng almost laughed out loud. ¡°What is she doing?¡± Lu Yunxiao seemed to have guessed that Jiang Youyi would do this. Jiang Youyi wasn¡¯t that generous to let her sell her phone. She could bear to part with the phone case. This was a little like Jiang Youyi¡¯s usual style. Bai Bing couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She was amused by Jiang Youyi. She knew that Jiang Youyi had some personality, but she didn¡¯t expect her to have such a personality. Was she crazy to take out a phone case at such an important occasion? What did other people auction? It was jewelry, calligraphy, and antiques. The least interesting thing was a limited edition bag. What was Jiang Youyi holding? A phone case? Was she taking toys here to coax a child? ¡°Miss Jiang, are you joking?¡± The host found it unbelievable. ¡°I¡¯m not. I¡¯m very sincere. I¡¯m showing my love. Isn¡¯t the rule here to take out something and have someone bid for it? Am I wrong?¡± Jiang Youyi looked adorable. ¡°That¡¯s right¡­¡± The host actually believed her nonsense. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as it¡¯s right. It¡¯s fine as long as it meets the rules, don¡¯t you think so? Moreover, I really took out the thing I love. This thing has really changed my luck. What can be more important than luck? If it weren¡¯t for the sake of raising donations, I wouldn¡¯t be willing to take it out. However, when I think about how many people will receive blessings because of my donations, I¡¯m much calmer. Isn¡¯t there a saying that as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world?¡± Jiang Youyi stunned the host with her words. He looked at Bai Bing helplessly and saw her nod. The host immediately received the signal and said loudly, ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s understandable to auction the phone cover, but there¡¯s something I have to tell you in advance. If no one takes it, it will be considered a no-show. If it¡¯s a no-show, you have to take out 300,000 yuan as a donation.¡± ¡°I have no objections. Take it!¡± Jiang Youyi was very relaxed. ¡°What¡¯s your bid?¡± the host asked. Jiang Youyi stacked her two index fingers together and made a gesture of ten. ¡°Ten¡­ ten yuan?¡± The host said the number with difficulty. ¡°No, 100,000!¡± Jiang Youyi said loudly this time. ¡°Ah? Miss Jiang, if I¡¯m not wrong, your phone case is plastic, right? Isn¡¯t the price too high?¡± The host felt that Jiang Youyi was either crazy or stupid. If someone bought a plastic phone case at such a high price, wouldn¡¯t that person be as stupid as her? ¡°Haha! 100,000 yuan? She actually said that?¡± Lin Feng laughed demonically again. Wang Jiangbei couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°She really has the guts.¡± ¡°I think she¡¯s already giving us face by not snatching it openly. If you ask me, she can¡¯t even bear to fork out this phone case.¡± Lu Yunxiao seemed to know Jiang Youyi very well and analyzed it logically. Lin Feng: ¡°Mr. Richest Man, why don¡¯t you take it back?¡± Lu Yunxiao ignored him and continued to look at Jiang Youyi on stage. ¡°Is Jiang Youyi a fool?! How can she fool us with a phone case at such an occasion? F*ck!¡± Wu Yan cursed. ¡°What! Is she so poor?¡± ¡°Are you playing with us like children? Who would believe her nonsense?¡± ¡°Now I understand why Liu Xiaoyan dislikes her so much. This woman is really shameless. Why did Mrs. Li invite her? It feels like my status has been lowered to appear in the same place as her.¡± ¡°Even if you¡¯re so poor, you should take something similar! A Chanel bag is fine! What¡¯s the point of taking a phone case?¡± Chapter 124 - Chapter 124: First Place Chapter 124: First Place Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Her family runs a department store. They don¡¯t even do their offline business properly now. I guess they really can¡¯t take out anything. They¡¯re here to mess things up. How unlucky.¡± ¡°I reckon the richest person in their family is Jiang Youtian. Celebrities should earn a lot! The rest of them are probably very poor.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s actions even made these socialites feel that attending this banquet was very embarrassing. Being with her seemed to be very unlucky, and they began to criticize her. Although this seemed to be a joke, the host had already agreed to her, so the auction still began. Xu Yuning: ¡°I¡¯ll pay 200,000.¡± Xu Yuning was really willing to do anything for Jiang Youyi. As long as she was happy, he was willing to be this sucker. Wu Chen raised his sign. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 500,000.¡± Everyone was shocked. They did not expect someone to really buy it and offer such a high price. When Wu Yan saw Wu Chen raise his card, she quickly looked at her brother. ¡°Chen, stop fooling around.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just playing around!¡± Wu Chen seemed very relaxed. He had yet to put down his raised hand! ¡°A broken phone cover is worth 500,000 yuan. Are you crazy?¡± Wu Yan was obviously unhappy. Wu Chen didn¡¯t care too much and just raised the sign. Xu Yuning¡¯s face darkened as he looked at Wu Chen. ¡°I bid 550,000.¡± The two most respected families in Ocean City had started bidding. The other tycoons followed suit and seemed to find it interesting. It was like giving gifts to the streamer. Rich people wanted to be at the top of the list for the sake of their reputation. Jiang Youyi had a good mentality and felt that it was very normal. She seemed to have predicted the current scene. Then, she looked at the host arrogantly. ¡°I already said that as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world.¡± When the host heard this, he quickly lowered his head to ease his embarrassment. ¡°One million!¡± Lu Yunxiao finally made a move, and he spent a lot of money. Bai Bing looked at Lu Yunxiao and felt very sad. She did not expect Lu Yunxiao to spoil Jiang Youyi like this. When Jiang Youyi saw Lu Yunxiao make a move, she was overjoyed and waved at him in satisfaction. Previously, Jiang Youyi had been in a scandal with Lu Yunxiao. Now that Lu Yunxiao was so generous, Xu Yuning was very indignant. ¡°1.2 million!¡± Xu Yuning raised his card again. ¡°Is a lousy phone cover worth being fought over by the three most respected families in Ocean City? Don¡¯t tell me Jiang Youyi has evil spirits on her?¡± Someone began to criticize mercilessly. Wu Chen didn¡¯t back down. ¡°1.5 million.¡± Xu Yuning: ¡°1.8 million.¡± He seemed to be going all out. Lu Yunxiao said directly, ¡°2.6 million.¡± At that moment, Wu Yan was furious. ¡°Chen, stop shouting. She has already surpassed me and is in first place. If you continue to bid, won¡¯t the price be even higher?¡± Wu Chen didn¡¯t seem to care. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that Lu Yunxiao has already offered 2.6 million? The first place doesn¡¯t belong to our family anymore. Regardless of whether I make a move or not, the outcome is set.¡± Wu Yan was stunned by Wu Chen¡¯s words. She didn¡¯t understand why her brother was doing this, nor did she understand why Lu Yunxiao was joining the fun. Xu Yuning thought about the scandal between Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao these few days. Now, seeing Lu Yunxiao being so generous to Jiang Youyi, he felt even worse. Feeling that he was about to die of anger, he raised his sign high and shouted, ¡°Three million.¡± Lu Yunxiao was amused. Then, he sat down in his seat, threw the sign to the side, and rubbed his hands. Wu Chen saw that Lu Yunxiao had thrown away his sign, so did he. Xu Yuning was stunned. Suddenly, Lu Yunxiao and Wu Chen stopped raising their signs. The auctioneer seemed to have been electrocuted just now and instantly regained his rationality. ¡°Three million going once, three million going twice, three million going thrice¡­ Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Xu Yuning, for bidding for Miss Jiang Youyi¡¯s phone case at three million.¡± Xu Yuning suddenly felt a headache coming on. Why did they stop? Weren¡¯t they competing very fiercely just now? Why did they suddenly stop? Lu Yunxiao was still rubbing his hands. Wu Chen also smiled evilly. Wang Jiangbei could not help but exclaim, ¡°You¡¯re so ruthless!¡± Now, Xu Yuning has become the biggest spendthrift. He had bought a broken phone case for three million yuan. ¡°Awesome!¡± Lin Feng felt much better. He was the happiest to see Xu Yuning suffer. The host was stunned for a moment before announcing that the first place today was Jiang Youyi, Miss Jiang. According to the previous agreement, the first place could meet Secretary Li and Mrs. Li alone. At this moment, Mrs. Li had already walked onto the stage and gently held Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand.. Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Working for Himself Chapter 125: Working for Himself Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Thank you for your support of Ocean City¡¯s charity. Thank you for your donation.¡± ¡°Mrs. Li, the credit is not mine. The money was paid by someone else.¡± The two of them exchanged pleasantries. In the end, this charity auction still surprised everyone. The inconspicuous Jiang Youyi actually got first place. There were definitely some socialites who were unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do. Who asked Jiang Youyi to be so lucky? Xu Pingping did not think that Xu Yuning had done anything wrong. Xu Yuning liked Sister Youyi, so it was normal for him to do such a thing. However, she asked, ¡°Brother, will Mom blame you if she finds out?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Xu Yuning said calmly. ¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯re about to inherit the family business. Three million yuan is nothing. Anyway, we¡¯re all doing charity. It¡¯s good to give Sister Youyi a chance.¡± Xu Pingping comforted Xu Yuning, afraid that he would feel sad. Xu Yuning did not say anything else. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the phone case in his hand in a daze. When Jiang Youyi got off the stage, she was actually stopped by Wu Yan. Wu Yan¡¯s expression was not good. ¡°Jiang Youyi, someone bidded your phone because Xu Yuning still likes you. Don¡¯t be too smug.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not smug.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t care. ¡°You¡¯re just being smug. You want everyone to be jealous of you. You¡¯re so evil that you¡¯re still using Xu Yuning¡¯s feelings for you. You¡¯re simply shameless.¡± ¡°You still have the cheek to criticize me? Didn¡¯t your jade necklace auctioned for 2.5 million?¡± ¡°My necklace is valuable. What¡¯s your phone case?¡± ¡°Valuable? Don¡¯t be ridiculous. Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t tell. That necklace is flawed. Although it¡¯s jade, it¡¯s not worth that much money. I¡¯m going home now. Don¡¯t disturb me here. Be careful that I expose you in front of everyone.¡± Jiang Youyi understood that many people here looked down on her, but she didn¡¯t care. She wasn¡¯t gold, and not everyone would cherish her. She pushed Wu Yan without a care and walked towards Lin Feng. ¡°Jiang Youyi, here. I¡¯ve kept it well.¡± Lin Feng smiled and handed the bag to Jiang Youyi. ¡°Thank you,¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°If you really want to thank me, say more good things about me in front of your sister.¡± Lin Feng smiled brightly. He felt that his performance today was not bad. Perhaps Jiang Youyi would really say good things about him. Jiang Youyi smiled awkwardly. She didn¡¯t know if she should say this kind thing. Suddenly, someone asked Jiang Youyi, ¡°Why don¡¯t I see Deputy Director Ji?¡± When Jiang Youyi heard this, she hurriedly looked around and then looked at the door worriedly. She was afraid of seeing Ji Chu. His name was on the invitation list, but he didn¡¯t come. It was better that he didn¡¯t come, in case she encountered an awkward situation. ¡°I didn¡¯t see him either. Is he really not here?¡± ¡°The Ji family has never liked to interact with people from the government. It¡¯s normal for them not to come.¡± ¡°But Mrs. Li specially invited him this time! Wouldn¡¯t it be disrespectful if he didn¡¯t come?¡± The group of people began to discuss, while Jiang Youyi listened from the side. Suddenly, Lu Yunxiao rushed out from behind. ¡°Do you have a grudge against Ji Chu?¡± Jiang Youyi was shocked by him, but she still heard his question and quickly pretended to be stupid. ¡°Ji Chu? Who is Ji Chu?¡± As if he already knew that Jiang Youyi would have such a reaction, Lu Yunxiao was very unhappy. ¡°Are you pretending to be stupid with me?¡± ¡°Pretending to be stupid? I really don¡¯t know any Ji Chu.¡± Jiang Youyi would never admit it. Since the auction was over, it meant that the banquet was also over. The socialites and rich young masters were walking out when Lin Feng suddenly leaned forward. ¡°Jiang Youyi, I think the man who said that you didn¡¯t give a tip at the beginning is quite suspicious. He came specifically for you. Do you want me to find out who appointed him?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I think Mrs. Li will investigate.¡± With that, Jiang Youyi smiled faintly and walked out. Lin Feng could not help but shake his head. ¡°Jiang Youyi is so smart! I didn¡¯t even think of this.¡± This was not difficult to understand. After what happened to that man, Jiang Youyi questioned the security of Mrs. Li¡¯s banquet. At that time, many socialites were present and knew that the security was not good. They would definitely be worried. As the organizer, Mrs. Li had to give everyone an explanation. The person behind the scenes was really too bold. Didn¡¯t she think of the consequences of causing trouble in Mrs. Li¡¯s territory? In order to give everyone an explanation, Mrs. Li would investigate this matter. She definitely didn¡¯t know that the man would appear. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have that reaction. Hence, Jiang Youyi did not have to do anything. She just had to wait for Mrs. Li to investigate. Mrs. Li cared about her reputation and would definitely investigate. She was just using Mrs. Li¡¯s hand to do something for her.. Chapter 126 - Chapter 126: Irrational Chapter 126: Irrational Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Youyi!¡± Someone suddenly called out to Jiang Youyi. It was none other than Xu Yuning. He walked over with Xu Pingping. He was still calling her so intimately, those who didn¡¯t know better would think that they hadn¡¯t broken up. Jiang Youyi was not used to this form of address. They had already broken up, so it was better not to be so intimate. She didn¡¯t want to be entangled with him anymore. She pretended not to hear him and continued walking. Xu Yuning walked very quickly and blocked Jiang Youyi¡¯s path. Jiang Youyi looked at him coldly. ¡°Youyi, I¡¯ll return this to you,¡± Xu Yuning said as he returned the phone case he had just obtained from the auction to Jiang Youyi. ¡°What?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the phone cover but did not extend her hand. ¡°I¡¯ll return the phone case to you. Take it as a gift from me,¡± Xu Yuning said as he handed the phone case over, but Jiang Youyi still did not take it. ¡°You¡¯re giving me something I¡¯ve used before. Is there something wrong with your brain?¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to accept it at all. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. I just think that you like this. You might be sad if you didn¡¯t have it,¡± Xu Yuning explained. ¡°I won¡¯t be sad. Since you¡¯ve spent money to buy it, it belongs to you. By the way, thank you for your contribution to charity. You¡¯re a good person, Xu Yuning.¡± After saying that, Jiang Youyi walked forward without looking back. Seeing Xu Yuning suffer, Lin Feng felt happy again. ¡°Good person, Xu Yuning. Goodbye.¡± Lu Yunxiao did not even look at Xu Yuning. He followed Jiang Youyi out. Xu Yuning was stunned on the spot. He looked at the pink phone case and did not know what to do. ¡°Brother, Sister Youyi already said that she sold it to you. Just accept it!¡± Xu Pingping persuaded him. Jiang Youyi¡¯s phone was an Apple Pro, while Xu Yuning¡¯s phone was a pro max. The two sizes were completely different. Hence, he could not use this phone case. Although it was just a plastic phone case, he couldn¡¯t bear to give it away. Hence, he thought of an idea and called his assistant. ¡°Buy me a pro. Any color will do. Hurry up and send it to my house.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t drive today. When she went out, she was about to call a taxi when Lu Yunxiao stopped her. ¡°I can walk alone.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to trouble Lu Yunxiao, let alone take his car. ¡°Who said I wanted to send you off? I just wanted you to send me off.¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled evilly and looked at Jiang Youyi. ¡°Huh? You want me to send you when you have a car?¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t figure it out. ¡°I drank today and can¡¯t drive. Drive my car and send me home.¡± Lu Yunxiao looked like he was asking her to send him home. Lin Feng and Wang Jiangbei followed behind Lu Yunxiao without saying a word. They wanted to see how Lu Yunxiao would deal with Jiang Youyi. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t have a driver. Why must you let me send you?¡± Jiang Youyi expressed her dissatisfaction. Then, Lu Yunxiao took out his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Driver? Yes, it¡¯s me. You¡¯re fired. Yes, now. Stop talking nonsense and go to the finance department to settle the bill!¡± Jiang Youyi:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Look, I don¡¯t have a driver anymore, right?¡± Lu Yunxiao looked innocent. ¡°You can get someone else to drive it! For example, a designated driver!¡± Jiang Youyi retorted. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to call a designated driver.¡± Lu Yunxiao was usually picked up by the driver, so he didn¡¯t know this. ¡°I can call it for you. Give me your phone.¡± Jiang Youyi extended her right hand. So he needed a phone to call for a designated driver! Alright! Lu Yunxiao ignored him and threw his phone on the ground. ¡°Look, I don¡¯t have a phone anymore. I can¡¯t call for it at all.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll use my phone to call you.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t believe that she couldn¡¯t get a taxi today. Lu Yunxiao reacted quickly. The moment Jiang Youyi took out her phone, he snatched it over and smashed it. The screen shattered. ¡°You can¡¯t call anyone now, right? You can only drive my car and send me home.¡± Lu Yunxiao looked like a rascal. ¡°I¡¯m going against you today. Lin Feng and Wang Jiangbei have phones, right? Use theirs.¡± With that, Jiang Youyi went to look for Lin Feng and Wang Jiangbei. Unexpectedly, the two of them slipped away. If they continued to stay here, Lu Yunxiao would definitely smash their phones. Although phones were not expensive, the things stored in them were very precious. They could not let Lu Yunxiao destroy them. ¡°I don¡¯t know where the two of them went. We¡¯re the only ones left now. How is it? Send me back!¡± Lu Yunxiao felt that his evil plan had succeeded. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, are you deliberately causing trouble for me?¡± Jiang Youyi was furious. He had thrown her phone away. This person was too unreasonable.. Chapter 127 - Chapter 127: Olive Branch Chapter 127: Olive Branch Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°No, I just want you to send me home. It¡¯s that simple.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s expression told Jiang Youyi that he had done nothing wrong. ¡°You big baddie, you¡¯re a hooligan, you¡¯re a scoundrel!¡± Jiang Youyi cursed. ¡°It takes one to know one. You¡¯re not much better either,¡± Lu Yunxiao said lightly. ¡°Then what if I don¡¯t drive you? Can you still tie me to the car?¡± Jiang Youyi thought about it. I¡¯ve made up my mind not to send you. If I don¡¯t drive, can you still drive me? ¡°You don¡¯t have to, but you might get deducted¡­¡± Lu Yunxiao reacted quickly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you. I¡¯ll send you off.¡± Jiang Youyi was helpless. Lu Yunxiao chuckled. ¡°If you had agreed earlier, your phone wouldn¡¯t have been smashed.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. She was sure that there was no one else as despicable and shameless as Lu Yunxiao. Then, under Lu Yunxiao¡¯s lead, Jiang Youyi got into his car. She was in the main seat, and Lu Yunxiao was in the passenger seat. He fastened his seatbelt. Safety first. Lu Yunxiao knew how to protect himself. ¡°Let me make it clear first. My driving skills are average. I just got my driver¡¯s license not long ago. If your car is scratched, I won¡¯t take responsibility.¡± Jiang Youyi was furious. ¡°Sure! If you scratch my car, I can deduct the payment!¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t care. Deduction?! Another deduction! Jiang Youyi was finally convinced. She hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, wanting to send Lu Yunxiao home as soon as possible. She did not want to stay with him for another second. At this moment, Xu Yuning had yet to leave. Seeing Jiang Youyi get into Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car, he felt a little sad. ¡°Why? Are you upset?¡± Wu Chen came uninvited and deliberately approached Xu Yuning. ¡°Does it have anything to do with you?¡± Xu Yuning seemed to hate Wu Chen a little. He took a step away and kept a distance from him. ¡°It¡¯s not that it has nothing to do with me. As a friend, I just want to advise you. Jiang Youyi is not an ordinary person. She has a personality. You can¡¯t control her. She¡¯s already with Lu Yunxiao. Give up!¡± ¡°You¡¯d better not say anything. I¡¯m in a bad mood. Also, didn¡¯t you bid for that phone case?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand! I¡¯m going for Lu Yunxiao.¡± ¡°Ha! Why do I feel like the two of you are working together to scam me of my money?¡± Xu Yuning was not a fool. Although he knew that Wu Chen and Lu Yunxiao were like fire and water, his actions just now really made him suspicious. ¡°Don¡¯t malign me! How could I partner with him? We¡¯re archenemies.¡± Wu Chen hurriedly explained. Although he had also wanted to scam Xu Yuning¡¯s money just now, he still couldn¡¯t admit to partnering with Lu Yunxiao in person. It could only be said that at a certain moment, their hearts were connected. However, that did not mean that the two of them were not enemies after that. Wu Chen had just finished speaking when Wu Yan came over and hugged Xu Yuning¡¯s arm. ¡°Yuning, did you drink today? Shall I drive you home?¡± Wu Yan¡¯s voice made Xu Yuning¡¯s hair stand on end. ¡°No need. Pingping knows how to drive.¡± Xu Yuning did not want to see the siblings at all. They were too annoying. In addition, he had just seen Jiang Youyi get into Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car. It was very heartbreaking. These two feelings mixed together and he felt as if his heart had been twisted by someone. It hurt a little. He even thought of the scene of the two of them being intimate after Jiang Youyi arrived at Lu Yunxiao¡¯s house. He hadn¡¯t even touched Jiang Youyi. What right did Lu Yunxiao have? As the saying went, the most precious thing was what one could not have and what one had lost. Jiang Youyi had taken both. How could Xu Yuning not have any concerns for her? Gradually, almost everyone had left, but there was someone standing at the entrance of the banquet hall. She had an outstanding figure, but she looked very lonely. ¡°Sister Bing, why are you crying?¡± At this moment, Li Tianxin appeared beside Bai Bing. Indeed, Bai Bing was very sad at this moment. She had been pampered since she was young and had nothing to worry about. Her journey in life was very smooth. She had great beauty, one that belonged to the ranks of top beauties. She liked the industry of hosting, so her family managed it for her and let her enter the best television station to host the best programs. If she was interested in acting, her family would get sponsors for her and find a famous director to film a good film. If she wanted to travel the world, her family would pay for her to go out and play. All along, she could do whatever she wanted, but Lu Yunxiao was the only one who didn¡¯t follow her wishes. Many rich children in Ocean City liked her very much. Even the big shots in the entertainment industry had expressed their admiration for her, the kind that wanted to be with her forever. There were even many scholars who extended an olive branch to her.. Chapter 128 - Chapter 128: Let Go of Me Chapter 128: Let Go of Me Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She was very outstanding, the kind that ordinary women could not compare to, but Lu Yunxiao was not interested in her. She had thought that Lu Yunxiao treated every woman like this, but when he met Jiang Youyi, everything seemed to have changed. He was originally an indifferent person and never liked to smile, but it was different with Jiang Youyi. He smiled at her so many times that she couldn¡¯t help but be jealous. Jiang Youyi only took out a phone case to auction, and he was willing to pay a high price of 2.6 million. At the ball, he ignored Mrs. Li and shook Li Tianxin off before coming to Jiang Youyi. The banquet had already ended, but he did not take the initiative to say a word to her. Instead, he pulled Jiang Youyi and asked her to drive him home. Although Bai Bing was not as miserable as Xu Yuning, she still felt sad and felt that she was a failure. She had clearly ordered the bow tie half a year in advance, hoping that he would wear it, but he had given it to his father. No matter how outstanding she was and how polite she was, she was still a young girl. She would be unhappy to be ignored like this. However, Li Tianxin saw this scene. Bai Bing turned around and looked at Li Tianxin. ¡°I¡¯m not crying! Why are you saying that I¡¯m crying?¡± ¡°I saw that your eyes were red, so I thought you were crying,¡± Li Tianxin replied. ¡°No, it¡¯s probably because I¡¯ve worn contact lenses for too long. I¡¯ll be fine after taking them off.¡± Bai Bing randomly found an excuse to hide the loneliness in her heart. ¡°My mother said that you¡¯ve worked hard today. She still has something to do tonight, so she won¡¯t keep you for dinner. She instructed me to come out and send you off,¡± Li Tianxin explained. ¡°Thank Auntie Li for me.¡± Bai Bing was still so polite. ¡°Sister Bing, I¡¯ll call the driver and ask him to come over. You should rest after you go back,¡± Li Tianxin said with a smile and called the driver. ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Bing did not refuse. In the end, she was sent home by the Li family¡¯s chauffeur. Mrs. Li was still angry after returning home. She did not show it at the banquet out of courtesy, but after returning home, she could not calm down. Then, Mrs. Li called Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu: ¡°Hello, Mrs. Li! Did the banquet go well today?¡± Mrs. Li: ¡°Smooth? You should know if it¡¯s smooth.¡± Mrs. Xu: ¡°I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re saying that.¡± Mrs. Li: ¡°You called someone to my banquet to cause trouble, but you don¡¯t want me to say anything?¡± Mrs. Xu: ¡°I didn¡¯t! Did you misunderstand?¡± Mrs. Xu was a little flustered. She didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Li to call her because of this. Mrs. Li: ¡°Ha! I won¡¯t beat around the bush with you. I know you hate Jiang Youyi, but it¡¯s not good for you to call someone to my banquet to slander Jiang Youyi, right? After all, this is my banquet. I don¡¯t care if you deal with Jiang Youyi, but doing it at my banquet is a slap to my face and Secretary Li¡¯s face. ¡°You¡¯re someone with status. Don¡¯t you feel embarrassed using such despicable methods?¡± Hearing Mrs. Li mention Secretary Li, Mrs. Xu was a little afraid. Indeed, she found the man and used her connections to get him to enter the banquet and cause trouble for Jiang Youyi. However, the idea was not hers, but Zhang Meng¡¯s. It was Xu Yuning¡¯s mistress. Mrs. Li felt that Mrs. Xu¡¯s despicable tricks did not seem to come from a prestigious family. It was very embarrassing for a prestigious family, so she spoke bluntly. Mrs. Xu: ¡°I would never dare to go against you and Secretary Li. I just want to teach Jiang Youyi a lesson. Her annulment of the engagement caused a huge commotion. My son became unhappy because of her, and our family was embarrassed because of her. She really went overboard.¡± Mrs. Li: ¡°So you ruined my banquet?¡± Mrs. Xu: ¡°I¡¯m not ruining your party. I¡¯m really not.¡± Mrs. Li: ¡°Because of your problem, many people are questioning the security of my banquet. It has a huge impact on me. This is the first and last time. Consider it giving your husband face. If such a problem happens to me again, don¡¯t blame me for making things difficult for you.¡± Mrs. Li hung up after saying that, not giving Mrs. Xu a chance to explain. Mrs. Xu was furious. Four or five men broke into a high-end apartment in the most upscale neighborhood in Ocean City without a word. When they saw Zhang Meng, they pressed her to the ground without hesitation. ¡°What are you doing? Let go of me!¡± Zhang Meng was very flustered. This was the best neighborhood in Ocean City. The security was very good and very safe.. How did these people break in through the security? Chapter 129 - Chapter 129: Invitation Chapter 129: Invitation Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Zhang Meng could not figure it out. These men did not give her a chance to figure it out. Instead, they took out their phones and took photos of her face. ¡°Do it!¡± The man with the phone said. The other man came over and slapped Zhang Meng hard on the face. The man was very strong. This time, he seemed to have used all his strength and hit her until she felt dizzy. ¡°It hurts¡­ Why did you hit me? Why did you come to my house? This is called trespassing on private property. I can call the police to arrest you.¡± After being hit, Zhang Meng began to scream. She felt especially terrified without knowing anything. ¡°Shut your filthy mouth! Listen carefully! Madam asked us to come. You bad woman, your rotten idea made Madam offend Mrs. Li. This is your punishment now. It is to let you remember to stay out of things that are not your business in the future.¡± After saying that, the man slapped her fiercely again, each slap more ruthless than the last. The corners of her mouth were bleeding. However, she now understood why she had been slapped. Mrs. Xu had sent someone over. She was the one who came up with that idea, and she was also the one who spoke to Mrs. Xu. But why did these people hit her? Did something go wrong? Something must have happened for Mrs. Xu to send someone to beat her up in the middle of the night. Zhang Meng was very smart, but she was just an ordinary person and did not have any connections, so she naturally did not know what had happened at the banquet. She could only guess as her face was swollen from being beaten up. When they had beaten her enough, they threw her to the ground and left, slamming the door. She staggered to her feet and walked to the mirror. She looked at her swollen face and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She didn¡¯t shed a single tear. It was so painful that she couldn¡¯t cry anymore, and she felt very defeated. In this era, someone could break into her house and beat her up. It was obvious that Mrs. Xu was not an ordinary person. Even if Mrs. Xu wanted to kill her now, it might be effortless. She gently touched the wound and looked at herself in the mirror. She muttered to herself, ¡°Zhang Meng, remember today. Remember that you were beaten up. This world is very realistic. If the rich want to bully you, they can bully you. In the future, you have to stand higher than them and trample on them. Make them wish they were dead.¡± This matter shocked her greatly. She did not even call Xu Yuning to complain. Instead, she silently endured it. Jiang Youyi drove Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car slowly on the road. She did not dare to drive too fast, afraid that it would really get scratched. At that time, Lu Yunxiao would really deduct her money. However, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s house was too far away from the banquet. They had been driving for more than half an hour, but they had yet to arrive. ¡°We should go that way and turn!¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly said. Then, he placed his hand on hers and controlled the steering wheel. It was as if she had been electrocuted. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, or I¡¯ll be angry,¡± Jiang Youyi said coldly. ¡°Can¡¯t you see that there are a lot of traffic police in front? It must be because the traffic in front is blocked,¡± Lu Yunxiao explained. However, it was too late for Jiang Youyi to turn the corner. There were roadblocks on the road, so she was forced to stop. At this moment, a traffic policeman walked over and even bowed politely. Jiang Youyi lowered the car window and smiled politely at the traffic police. When the traffic police saw that the driver was a woman, they could not help but be surprised. Then, he looked at Lu Yunxiao and said politely, ¡°President Lu, there¡¯s construction ahead and it is impassable. You guys can take the other side!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Lu Yunxiao agreed calmly. ¡°President Lu, is she your girlfriend?¡± The traffic policeman was very curious and courageous. He actually dared to ask this suddenly. ¡°No, I¡¯m his second aunt!¡± Jiang Youyi hurriedly said, not giving Lu Yunxiao a chance to speak. Lu Yunxiao was speechless when he heard this answer. The traffic police was also shocked. President Lu actually had such a young second aunt? His second uncle was good! Jiang Youyi was already a little tired at the banquet. Who asked so many people to target her? It was exhausting to fight them to the death. Upon hearing the traffic police¡¯s words, she quickly turned around and headed in another direction. Fortunately, she did not walk far before she reached Lu Yunxiao¡¯s house. ¡°Come in and have a cup of tea!¡± Lu Yunxiao invited her. ¡°What time is it? Drink tea? Are you kidding me?¡± Jiang Youyi was a little afraid of drinking tea at this time. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get my chef to cook dinner for you. My chef came from a five-star hotel.¡± Lu Yunxiao continued to invite her.. Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: Ambush Chapter 130: Ambush Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood to eat whatever delicious food your chef makes. I¡¯ll return the car to you. I¡¯m going home,¡± Jiang Youyi said as she got out of the car. ¡°Take my car home!¡± Lu Yunxiao suggested. ¡°No, I¡¯ll take a taxi.¡± Jiang Youyi was stubborn. ¡°You can¡¯t get a taxi here, and there won¡¯t be any online taxis,¡± Lu Yunxiao reminded her. ¡°As if I would believe your nonsense.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t believe it at all. Then, she took out her phone and prepared to call for an online taxi. However, when she saw the broken phone, she realized that her phone had been broken by the bandit. Jiang Youyi said angrily, ¡°You have to compensate me for my phone, and it¡¯s the same model.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Lu Yunxiao actually agreed without arguing with her. She stood in front of Lu Yunxiao¡¯s house for a long time but did not find a taxi. It was already winter. When the wind blew, Jiang Youyi felt especially cold. ¡°Are you cold?¡± Lu Yunxiao asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if I¡¯m cold, I won¡¯t wear your clothes.¡± Jiang Youyi shivered and insisted. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that. I¡¯m going back. If you don¡¯t drive my car, stay here! No one cares about you. It¡¯s fine if you want to walk back, but let me remind you! This place is very remote and dangerous,¡± Lu Yunxiao said and turned to go home. ¡°Lu Yunxiao!¡± Jiang Youyi was furious. ¡°By the way, the moon is shining brightly tonight. Do you want to stay at my house?¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s deep eyes sized up Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi¡¯s hair stood on end from his gaze, but she had to admit that Lu Yunxiao was indeed quite handsome. ¡°Who¡¯s staying at your house! I¡¯ll drive your car!¡± Jiang Youyi finally compromised. She stood there for a long time, but no car came. Also, her phone was broken, so she couldn¡¯t call for an online taxi. Moreover, she had observed the road on the way here. It was several kilometers away. It was so late! The cold wind was bleak! She was a weak woman. She must have been scared to death walking on an empty road, right? She wasn¡¯t that brave. She was still very tired, so she had to drive Yunxiao¡¯s car. When Jiang Youyi returned to the car again, Lu Yunxiao couldn¡¯t help but laugh. After Jiang Youyi left, a servant hurriedly came out of the villa and handed Lu Yunxiao a new phone. ¡°President Lu, do you want to find someone to follow Miss Jiang? It¡¯s so late. Isn¡¯t it a little dangerous?¡± The servant seemed to be very smart. She felt that Lu Yunxiao seemed to be obsessed with Jiang Youyi recently, so she hurriedly raised her opinion. Lu Yunxiao shook his head as he watched the car drive away. No one in Ocean City seemed to take Jiang Youyi seriously, but only Lu Yunxiao seemed to know that Jiang Youyi was not ordinary. Jiang Youyi disguised herself very well. Most people thought that she was silly and sweet, but she was actually a tigress. Lu Yunxiao found it funny when he thought of Jiang Youyi breaking through one obstacle after another and playing with others. He would also laugh because of this when he¡¯s home. He was always like this. Unknowingly, he smiled, causing a heated discussion among the servants. The final outcome of the servants was¡ªPresident Lu was in love. It was easy to discover. He always smiled happily, and his entire body seemed to be emitting pink bubbles. Jiang Youyi drove Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car and chose a relatively remote road to go home. Why did she choose a remote place? Because there were fewer cars and there were no red lights, she could speed. Her driving skills were not bad, but she was unwilling to show it. As for why she was unwilling to show it? Perhaps it was because she was used to it. What happened back then made her understand a principle. It was better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, she might be in danger. Two kilometers ahead, a few men were lying in ambush in the grass, watching the cars drive past. ¡°Brother Peng, we¡¯re all ready. Our people just reported that the woman drove on an extremely remote road. There are no traffic lights here, which means there are no surveillance cameras. No one will notice us. We just have to make a move. It looks like an accident.¡± ¡°Got it. Brother Bin said that we don¡¯t have to care about her life or death. Everything depends on her luck.¡± At this moment, Du Chengbin¡¯s subordinate, Bai Peng, was leisurely drinking tea. In the beginning, Du Chengbin only said that he didn¡¯t want anyone¡¯s life. As long as he brought her out of Ocean City and didn¡¯t let her return in the future, it would be fine. However, they had underestimated this woman. This woman was very evil. The two brothers who had gone previously were considered useful people, but they could not even touch that woman and were even injured. Bai Peng had also communicated with Du Chengbin after that. From Du Chengbin¡¯s words, it was fine if he killed her. It would save him a lot of trouble.. Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: Different Words Chapter 131: Different Words Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Anyway, Lu Guo¡¯an, the richest man in Ocean City, was his uncle. Even if something happened, he could use money to settle it. At most, he could find a scapegoat to take the blame for him. In any case, he would not be harmed. After receiving Du Chengbin¡¯s instructions, Bai Peng became bolder. Only then did he dare to ambush Jiang Youyi on the way home. Originally, they wanted to set up an ambush on Jiang Youyi¡¯s way home after the banquet, but something happened on the way. Jiang Youyi seemed to have gone somewhere else. Hence, they changed their route and laid in ambush again. This was what they thought. When Jiang Youyi arrived at the place where they were lying in ambush, they would block her with a big truck from the front and back, preventing her from advancing or retreating. Then, he hit Jiang Youyi¡¯s car and sent her flying towards the cliff. This road was very remote and dangerous. There was a cliff, and many cars had fallen down. Hence, even if Jiang Youyi died, the Jiang family might think it was an accident. This plan was perfect. Bai Peng was also very confident in his subordinates, so he could drink tea and give orders over the phone. To their surprise, when Jiang Youyi drove over, they were surprised to find that the car she was driving looked a little familiar. Just as they were about to attack¡­ ¡°Wait!¡± ¡°What is it, big brother?¡± ¡°This car looks a little familiar!¡± ¡°Ah! It seems to be the Lu family¡¯s car. This license plate is unique to the Lu family. It seems to be President Lu¡¯s limited edition Maybach, the one worth tens of millions.¡± ¡°It really does seem like it.¡± ¡°Big Brother, are we still going to take action?¡± The ambushers were instantly dumbfounded. They did not expect Jiang Youyi to drive Yunxiao¡¯s car. This would make it inconvenient for them to attack. If anything happened to Jiang Youyi while she¡¯s driving Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car, Lu Yunxiao would definitely investigate thoroughly. They didn¡¯t know what relationship Jiang Youyi had with Lu Yunxiao, but they were certain that Lu Yunxiao wasn¡¯t someone to be trifled with. They couldn¡¯t act rashly. In the end, they still did not take action. Instead, they called Bai Peng. Bai Peng did not know what to do, so he could only call Du Chengbin again. Bai Peng: ¡°Brother Bin, things have changed.¡± At this moment, Du Chengbin was making out with a young model. He was furious that he was interrupted. Du Chengbin: ¡°What¡¯s wrong now?¡± Bai Peng: ¡°We¡¯re already lying in ambush on the woman¡¯s way home.¡± Du Chengbin: ¡°Then do it! Why the hell did you call me?!¡± Bai Peng: ¡°That woman is driving President Lu¡¯s car. My subordinates saw it clearly. It¡¯s the Lu Family¡¯s license plate. If we take action, President Lu¡¯s ten million Maybach will be destroyed. Won¡¯t President Lu be angry then?¡± When Du Chengbin heard this, he lost interest and got up from the woman¡¯s body. Du Chengbin: ¡°What¡¯s going on? Tell me in detail.¡± Bai Peng: ¡°Brother Bin, it¡¯s like this. The plan was quite smooth, but my subordinate suddenly realized that she was driving President Lu¡¯s limited edition Maybach, the one President Lu used when he went out. My subordinate must not have seen wrongly, so I¡¯m asking you if we should take action. If we take action, President Lu¡¯s car will definitely be destroyed.¡± Du Chengbin: ¡°Fuck! This woman is not simple!¡± Bai Peng: ¡°Brother Bin, do you still want to take action?¡± Du Chengbin: ¡°Take action my ass! Stop! Deal with her another day.¡± Du Chengbin wasn¡¯t very smart, but he wasn¡¯t stupid either. That woman was driving Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car. Would he dare to go against Lu Yunxiao? Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car was worth tens of millions. If it was destroyed, he would definitely investigate. If he found out about him and his aunt, no one would have a good time. Du Chengbin didn¡¯t even think about it. He directly asked his subordinates to retreat. Working against Lu Yunxiao was equivalent to being electrocuted. He hadn¡¯t lived enough! When Jiang Youyi passed by the place where they were lying in ambush, she looked out and smiled faintly. Lu Yunxiao was still awake. He ate peanuts, drank beer, and played chess with himself. He was clearly a young talent, but his hobbies were like that of an old man. ¡°President Lu, Miss Jiang has already returned home successfully. Those people didn¡¯t dare to take action.¡± ¡°Sigh! Looks like I still can¡¯t get rid of those stinky bugs this time. How boring.¡± As he spoke, Lu Yunxiao put down the chess piece in his hand and suddenly felt a little sleepy. He wanted those people to take action not only to get rid of Du Meihong, but also to see how Jiang Youyi would react when faced with danger. Unfortunately, those people did not have the guts to do so. They were meaningless. ¡°I thought I could watch a good show! I¡¯m disappointed.¡± Lu Yunxiao muttered and fell onto the sofa. The old butler beside him seemed to know what Lu Yunxiao was thinking. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask Miss Jiang to drive your car on purpose? Didn¡¯t you want to protect her? Now, you¡¯re saying that you can¡¯t watch a good show. I think you¡¯re not telling the truth..¡± Chapter 132 - Chapter 132: Shes Not the Same as You Chapter 132: She¡¯s Not the Same as You Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Damn old man, do you want to die?¡± Lu Yunxiao glared at him. ¡°Even if you glare at me, I have to say that President Lu, if you care about Miss Jiang, go ahead and chase after her. You¡¯re at the marriageable age now. It¡¯s normal for men to have relations with women. If I can see you get married and have children in my lifetime, I won¡¯t have lived in vain.¡± The old butler was a smart person. He could already tell that although Lu Yunxiao said that he wanted to see Jiang Youyi¡¯s reaction when she was in danger, he had already planned to bring Jiang Youyi back after the banquet and let her drive his car home. Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car and license plate were unique in Ocean City. Everyone knew about them. Jiang Youyi drove his car home. It couldn¡¯t be any safer. ¡°I don¡¯t care about her! She just has a little personality.¡± Lu Yunxiao refused to admit it. The old butler was amused. Although Lu Yunxiao refused to admit it, he saw it. It was said that women didn¡¯t like to speak the truth. It seemed that men were the same. When Jiang Youyi arrived home, she carefully parked the car, afraid of alerting her family. To her surprise, the moment she entered, she saw a group of people sitting on the sofa in the living room. Even the Housekeeper, Sister Fang, did not rest. ¡°Third Miss, you¡¯re finally back. Madam was worried sick. She called you, but your phone was switched off and she couldn¡¯t contact you,¡± Sister Fang said as she walked to Jiang Youyi¡¯s side and took her bag and jacket. ¡°Well, my phone was broken and turned off,¡± Jiang Youyi explained, then looked at everyone. ¡°It¡¯s so late. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± ¡°Why did you drive Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car back?¡± The person who spoke was Jiang Nian, Jiang Youyi¡¯s brother. ¡°Um¡­ I¡¯ll drink some water. I¡¯m a little thirsty!¡± Jiang Youyi wanted to escape. ¡°What kind of relationship do you have with Lu Yunxiao? Did he ask you to drive his car?¡± Her eldest brother didn¡¯t let her run. ¡°Youyi, are you dating Lu Yunxiao?¡± Mrs. Jiang was a little nervous. ¡°No, no, you¡¯ve misunderstood!¡± Jiang Youyi panicked. ¡°Misunderstanding? He kissed you in front of so many people at the banquet, and you¡¯re saying it¡¯s a misunderstanding?¡± As he spoke, Jiang Nian took out his phone. It was a picture of Lu Yunxiao kissing her. Jiang Youyi took a look and was instantly dumbfounded. The angle was as tricky as it could be, making them look very intimate. Looking at her family¡¯s reaction at this moment, she actually did not know how to explain. At the banquet today, Lu Yunxiao did that to use her as a shield. With so many people watching, she felt embarrassed to slap Lu Yunxiao. However, those reporters didn¡¯t care what she thought or what Lu Yunxiao¡¯s motive was. They just kept taking photos. Now, the news has gone crazy. ¡°In just a few days, how many times have you been on the hot search?¡± Jiang Yunfei finally spoke. His expression was very ugly. Looking at her serious father, Jiang Youyi was a little flustered. ¡°Daddy, it¡¯s not what you think. I can explain.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need you to explain. I will ask myself.¡± Jiang Yunfei looked very angry. He did not want to see his daughter on the trending searches and the news. Jiang Yunfei glanced at Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian understood and dialed Lu Yunxiao¡¯s number. ¡°Who is it?¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s voice was very pleasant. Jiang Youyi started to get nervous, and her hair stood on end. ¡°It¡¯s me, Jiang Yunfei.¡± Jiang Yunfei was very calm. ¡°Hello, Uncle Jiang.¡± Lu Yunxiao was amiable. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, what¡¯s going on between you and Youyi? I just saw that the two of you are on the trending searches again. I want you to explain it to me.¡± As her father, Jiang Yunfei had the right to question him. Jiang Youyi listened to their conversation and was extremely nervous. She was so nervous, afraid that Lu Yunxiao would spout nonsense. ¡°Uncle Jiang, Youyi and I are in a relationship.¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s voice was still as pleasant as ever. Relationship! When Lu Yunxiao said that, the entire family was shocked. Just now, Jiang Youyi had said that it was a misunderstanding. Now, Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t explain at all and admitted it. ¡°Lu Yunxiao! You¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± Jiang Youyi shouted at the phone, but Jiang Yunfei¡¯s gaze made her shut up. ¡°When did you start dating?¡± Jiang Yunfei was a little angry at this moment. ¡°When it first started trending.¡± Lu Yunxiao replied calmly. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to have known my daughter for long.¡± ¡°Is it useful to know her for a long time? Xu Yuning has known her for a long time, but they still broke up.¡± After saying this, Jiang Yunfei became even angrier. This tone? This attitude? Was he scolding him? ¡°President Lu, you¡¯re the richest man and very outstanding, but my daughter is not capable. She¡¯s not the same as you. It¡¯s impossible between the two of you. I don¡¯t agree.¡± No one in Ocean City dared to go against the Lu Family, let alone speak to Lu Yunxiao like this.. Chapter 133 - Chapter 133: Not Meeting Even Once Chapter 133: Not Meeting Even Once Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Those who could become the richest man were not ordinary people. Jiang Yunfei knew that Lu Yunxiao was not as easy to get along with as he looked. Jiang Yunfei was not part of the wealthy circle in Ocean City, but for Jiang Youyi, he actually dared to contradict Lu Yunxiao. Obviously, Jiang Yunfei loved his daughter very much. Jiang Youyi felt a little upset when she saw her father doing this for her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. When you see your grandson, you won¡¯t reject me anymore,¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly said. Jiang Yunfei was almost frightened to death with his words. In an instant, the entire family stared at Jiang Youyi¡¯s stomach. ¡°No¡­ No.¡± Jiang Youyi hurriedly waved her hand. She hated Lu Yunxiao to death. He was really bold and dared to say anything. When Jiang Yunfei hung up the phone, his hands were trembling. He looked at Jiang Youyi and sighed. ¡°Youyi, come over!¡± Jiang Yunfei waved his hand and gestured for Jiang Youyi to come over. Jiang Youyi timidly came to his side. ¡°Youyi, I¡¯ve never felt that it¡¯s a good thing to interact with a wealthy family. Previously, I didn¡¯t stop you from liking Xu Yuning because I thought that it would be good for you to marry the person you like. However, I didn¡¯t expect things to end up like that. The Xu family is very domineering, especially Mrs. Xu. She¡¯s very shrewish. I think that even if you marry over, you might not have a smooth life. It¡¯s good to split up. However, the Lu family is different. They¡¯re the richest family and have complicated family relationships. A girl like you can¡¯t deal with them.¡± Jiang Yunfei did not blame his daughter, but he felt that their family was really different from the Lu family. He was afraid that Jiang Youyi would really be at a disadvantage if she married over. After breaking up with Xu Yuning, Jiang Yunfei had a long talk with Mrs. Jiang one night. Among their three children, Jiang Youyi was the one they cared about the least. Firstly, Jiang Youyi¡¯s birth was not part of the plan. Moreover, when Jiang Youyi was born, their department store was not doing very well. At that time, Jiang Yunfei stayed in the company all day and had no time to care about Jiang Youyi. In the years that Jiang Youyi had been overseas, Jiang Yunfei had only visited her once or twice, so he still felt a little guilty towards her. ¡°Dad, I understand.¡± ¡°As long as you understand. Your mom and I can¡¯t follow you forever. Your brother and sister can¡¯t live for you either. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. It¡¯s fine as long as you think about your own matters.¡± After saying that, Jiang Yunfei waved his hand and told everyone to go back and rest. Then, he went upstairs. When Jiang Nian passed by Jiang Youyi, he reminded her again, ¡°Lu Yunxiao isn¡¯t as simple as you think. He¡¯s not a good person. Good people can¡¯t survive in that circle.¡± Jiang Youyi pouted and did not say anything else. She knew what they meant and could understand how they felt. But¡­ She had really been misunderstood. It was obvious that Lu Yunxiao was deliberately trying to scam her. She took out her phone and was about to criticize Lu Yunxiao when she suddenly saw a WeChat message from Jiang Youtian. Jiang Youtian: Youyi, did you meet Ji Chu at the banquet? Jiang Youyi: I didn¡¯t see him. I don¡¯t think he went. Jiang Youtian: Is he deliberately avoiding you? He actually rejected Mrs. Li¡¯s invitation? Jiang Youyi: He seems to have quite a personality. Jiang Youtian: You¡¯ve been back for so long. Are you going to keep being so distant? Jiang Youyi: Sister, you don¡¯t care about him, do you? Jiang Youyi knew that her sister didn¡¯t like that type, so she teased her on purpose. Jiang Youtian: Forget it! He¡¯s such a character. I can¡¯t afford to provoke him. Jiang Youyi: Hehehehe¡­ Jiang Youtian: You still have the cheek to smile? Big Brother sent me a WeChat message just now. He said that you were very close to Lu Yunxiao and you even drove his car. Jiang Youyi: He¡¯s the one who keeps pestering me. Maybe I¡¯m too attractive! Jiang Youtian: Nonsense! But there¡¯s something I have to tell you! Jiang Youyi: Speak! Jiang Youtian: Last year, Big Brother offended someone when he was doing business, but nothing happened in the end. He felt that it was strange, so he asked around. I heard that the Ji family suppressed this matter. Jiang Youyi fell silent. Jiang Youtian: Also, when you went on a trip at the beginning of the year, I was injured on set. It was Ji Chu who found me a hospital and a specialist professor to operate on me. Jiang Youyi: Sister, what do you mean by saying so much? Jiang Youtian: I don¡¯t mean anything else. Back then, I felt that you and Xu Yuning couldn¡¯t get along, in the end, you really broke up. But Ji Chu is different. Our entire family likes him. As for you, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on. You¡¯ve been back in the country for so many years, but the two of you haven¡¯t seen each other once.. Chapter 134 - Chapter 134: Uncourteous Chapter 134: Uncourteous Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youtian¡¯s words made Jiang Youyi depressed. When Jiang Youyi was young, she always had all kinds of difficult illnesses. The Ji and Jiang families had never interacted before. It was only because of Jiang Youyi¡¯s illness that they interacted later. However, the two families deliberately kept their distance, while Jiang Youyi and Ji Chu became familiar with each other. After she grew up, Jiang Youyi went overseas, but it seemed like they still had contact. Jiang Youtian was not very familiar with him. She had never eaten or seen him alone. However, Jiang Youtian could sense that the Jiang family had received a lot of favors from the Ji family. It couldn¡¯t be a coincidence. It was obviously done on purpose. Jiang Youtian was a smart person. She could roughly guess the twists and turns here. It should be related to her sister. Later on, her sister seemed to have deliberately avoided Ji Chu, which made Jiang Youtian suspect that they must have a deep relationship. Jiang Youyi: The matter between me and Ji Chu is quite complicated. I can¡¯t explain it to you in a short period of time, but I think we might be able to break the ice soon. Jiang Youtian: Really? Jiang Youyi: More or less! Sister, I won¡¯t talk to you anymore. It¡¯s really tough today. I want to sleep early. Jiang Youtian: Lin Feng told me that you were especially amazing today and defeated many people. Jiang Youyi: I¡¯m not as amazing as he said. I just avoided others hurting me. It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll stop talking. Good night. Today was really one thing after another. She was very tired now and only wanted to sleep. She didn¡¯t want to say anything else. At this moment, Xu Yuning was also exhausted. Not only was his body tired, but his heart was also very tired, causing him to be unable to sleep even now. He was lying on the bed and scrolling through his phone when he saw Zhang Meng post on her Moments. [Zhang Meng: When people are at their most helpless, will the person they think of be the person they really love?] The accompanying photo was a photo of herself. Obviously, her face was very swollen, as if she had been beaten up. Xu Yuning looked at her photo and could not help but frown. Then, he sent her a WeChat message. Xu Yuning: Are you injured? Zhang Meng: Yuning, I thought you were already asleep. You must have had a hard day, right? Xu Yuning: Are you injured? Zhang Meng: It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t worry. Xu Yuning: If you have anything to say, just say it. Otherwise, I¡¯ll get anxious. Zhang Meng: I¡¯m injured, but it¡¯s alright. Xu Yuning: Who did it? Zhang Meng: I don¡¯t want to say it. Can you not make me say it? Seeing that she was not saying anything, Xu Yuning called her, but she did not pick up. In any case, he could not fall asleep. Seeing Zhang Meng like this, he also felt that something was amiss. It might be related to him. Then, he put on his coat and left. Before he left, he sent Zhang Meng a WeChat message. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll go see you.¡± When Zhang Meng saw the WeChat message, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up. Ha! Men were like this. They would always sympathize with the weak. Only Xu Yuning could see the post she posted. Even so, he still took the bait. That night, Jiang Youyi slept soundly. The next morning, it was the weekend, so everyone was there. It was already half past eight when Sister Fang called Jiang Youyi for breakfast. Jiang Youyi tidied up briefly and went downstairs. She was wearing pink pajamas, and her long hair was down, making her look cute and beautiful. ¡°Good morning, family!¡± Jiang Youyi said happily. ¡°Youyi, are you free today? I¡¯ll take you to get a manicure!¡± Wang Yuqing happened to be resting and wanted to take Jiang Youyi out to relax. Before Jiang Youyi could answer, the doorbell rang. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m here to deliver something to Miss Jiang Youyi.¡± The man was refined and wore a well-ironed suit. He looked harmless. When Sister Fang heard this, she hurriedly called Jiang Youyi out. Jiang Youyi looked at the man in a daze for a long time before remembering. ¡°You are¡­ you are that¡­¡± The man smiled sensibly. ¡°I¡¯m President Lu¡¯s assistant. We met before at the corporation.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I remember you.¡± ¡°President Lu asked me to bring this over. He reminded me to hand it to you personally.¡± As he spoke, the man handed over an exquisite bag. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Open it yourself!¡± Jiang Youyi had learned her lesson this time. She had to open it in front of others, or she would be easily scammed. After opening the bag and realizing that it was a phone, Jiang Youyi knew what was going on. He had broken her phone yesterday. He should compensate her. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll keep it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± The assistant came to her house so early to give her a phone. It was obvious that the assistant here was sensible. Jiang Youyi accepted it without hesitation.. Chapter 135 - Chapter 135: Hard-earned Chapter 135: Hard-earned Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In today¡¯s society, who could leave their phones? It was already so late yesterday, so it was fine. But not for today. She came back with the shopping bags and sat steadily at the dining table. Mrs. Jiang was puzzled. ¡°Who sent you something so early?¡± ¡°Lu Yunxiao¡¯s assistant,¡± Jiang Youyi replied. Then she took out the contents of the shopping bag. There were four cell phone boxes of different colors. They were new and hadn¡¯t been unpacked. ¡°He¡¯s so generous! He gave away four at once.¡± Jiang Nian couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°He broke my phone last night, so of course he has to compensate me.¡± Jiang Youyi felt that it was only right. ¡°But isn¡¯t it too much to give four?¡± Jiang Nian thought that the richest man was the richest man! Jiang Youyi looked at the phone box. It was of various colors. She didn¡¯t expect him to buy them all. Since he had bought them, she would accept them. Then, she chose a blue one that she liked. After opening the box, she casually put it aside and started eating. ¡°Whoever wants to use it can take it! You¡¯re welcome.¡± Although Jiang Youyi said that, no one took it. Although the Jiang family was not as rich as the Lu family, it was not to the extent that they could not afford a phone. There was nothing strange about the phone. ¡°Youyi, do you still want to play all day? Don¡¯t you want to start a career? Or find a job?¡± Jiang Yunfei thought that perhaps Jiang Youyi was too idle, so she was always in scandals every day. If she had her own career, it might be better. She wouldn¡¯t have to think about dating all day, let alone meet a scumbag. ¡°Dad, I have a plan.¡± ¡°Oh? What plan?¡± Jiang Yunfei was very happy to see that his daughter wanted him to do something. ¡°I want to do something that girls like and start a business.¡± Jiang Youyi was in high spirits. ¡°Okay! Daddy will give you money.¡± Jiang Yunfei was very supportive. He had promised her before that he would give her a start-up fund. ¡°I¡¯ll give you money too.¡± Jiang Nian was also very supportive. ¡°I¡¯ll get you one too.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t miss it either,¡± Wang Yuqing said. ¡°Your sister has to help too,¡± Mrs. Jiang said. ¡°Ah? Sister isn¡¯t here, yet she owes me money just like that?¡± ¡°She has so much money. If she doesn¡¯t take it out to invest in you, why should she keep it?¡± ¡°Oh my god! My family loves me too much, but I don¡¯t need it. I have my own way. I¡¯m prepared to finance it.¡± ¡°My sister, aren¡¯t you being too naive? You¡¯ve been back in the country for so many years. The only rich people you know are Xu Yuning and Lu Yunxiao. Why? Are you planning to borrow from them?¡± Jiang Nian thought that his sister did not have many connections. There were only two of them. ¡°No, I won¡¯t borrow money from Xu Yuning, let alone Lu Yunxiao. We¡¯re not that close.¡± ¡°Not that close. Then why did he say that he¡¯s in a relationship with you last night?¡± Not again! Jiang Youyi was speechless. ¡°Don¡¯t joke about Youyi. Can¡¯t you be more upright as an elder brother?¡± Wang Yuqing rebuked when she saw that Jiang Youyi was silent. ¡°There are still risks in financing. There are also many pitfalls. If you¡¯re not careful, you¡¯ll easily be swallowed by capital. In the past, there was an internet celebrity who also suffered in this aspect. You have to be careful!¡± Jiang Yunfei reminded her. ¡°Dad, I still know a little, so I don¡¯t look for venture capitalists.¡± ¡°Then what are you looking for?¡± ¡°Aiya! It¡¯s still too early to talk about this. It¡¯s just a plan. I¡¯ll inform you when the preparations are almost done.¡± Jiang Youyi quickly ate and left. She was still driving her little shabby car. Why was it called a shabby car? Because this car had a long history. Mrs. Jiang didn¡¯t even drive it. It was an old Audi. Jiang Youyi drove to her good friend, Tian Feifei¡¯s company. Tian Feifei was working in the office. When she saw Jiang Youyi, she hurriedly said into the phone, ¡°President Yang, let¡¯s not talk about it for now. I have a friend here. Let¡¯s talk another day.¡± After hanging up, Tian Feifei stood up and looked at Jiang Youyi with a smile. ¡°You definitely won¡¯t look for me for no reason. Tell me, why are you looking for me?¡± ¡°A gift for you,¡± Jiang Youyi said as she took out a phone from her bag and placed it on her desk. ¡°You must be up to something.¡± Tian Feifei guessed that Jiang Youyi was right. ¡°I want you to invest in me and help me start a business.¡± ¡°Borrow money? Isn¡¯t your father very rich? Why do you need me?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for my father to earn money. I can¡¯t bear to lose it.¡± Tian Feifei was speechless and forced an awkward smile. ¡°Your father¡¯s money is money. My money is not money.. I worked hard to earn it, okay?¡± Chapter 136 - Chapter 136: Pulling People to Invest Chapter 136: Pulling People to Invest Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Aren¡¯t you my good sister? You won¡¯t reject me, right?¡± Jiang Youyi sat on the sofa, looking like she should give her money. ¡°Alright! Since you¡¯re my good sister, I¡¯ll give you some.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask what career I¡¯m going to do?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to know, just tell me the amount. But let me tell you, I haven¡¯t been rich recently. My father expanded his business and moved a portion of his funds from my branch company.¡± Tian Feifei wasn¡¯t lying. She wasn¡¯t crying about being poor, but she was telling the truth. She wouldn¡¯t lie to Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi stretched out three fingers and made an OK gesture. Tian Feifei immediately widened her eyes. ¡°Are you kidding me? 30 million? I can¡¯t take it out.¡± ¡°No¡­ it¡¯s three million.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine. Give me your card number! I¡¯ll get the finance department to transfer it to you.¡± ¡°Should I draw up a contract for you?¡± Jiang Youyi smiled. ¡°If we use the contract, how can we still be good sisters? Three million yuan is a small number. There¡¯s no need.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled happily when she heard that. She had easily gotten three million yuan. She was starting to admire her own ability. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll take this phone as a gift from you?¡± Tian Feifei waved the phone. ¡°Whatever. It¡¯s a gift from someone else.¡± ¡°Aiyo, you¡¯re so generous! Who gave it to you? Xu Yuning?¡± Tian Feifei knew that Jiang Youyi had gone to the banquet last night. Perhaps Xu Yuning wanted to kiss Jiang Youyi¡¯s ass, so he gave her this phone. ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me about him, it¡¯s annoying!¡± ¡°Then¡­ it¡¯s Lu Yunxiao?¡± Other than Xu Yuning, there was only Lu Yunxiao. There was no mistake. Tian Feifei also saw the trending topic and naturally knew that last night, Jiang Youyi was very close to Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Speaking of which, he already kissed you. Isn¡¯t it too petty to give you a lousy phone?¡± Hearing that, Jiang Youyi blushed. ¡°Not because he kissed me, but because he broke my phone and compensated me. He compensated me with four phones. I¡¯ve kept one and this one is for you.¡± ¡°You actually receive four times the compensation? Then I¡¯ll send a thousand units over and let him destroy them all,¡± Tian Feifei joked as she sat beside Jiang Youyi. ¡°You¡¯re so rich. What do you lack?¡± Jiang Youyi rolled her eyes at her. ¡°Even if I have money, I can¡¯t resist you.¡± Tian Feifei teased her deliberately. ¡°Who asked you to be my good sister! You deserve it.¡± Hearing Jiang Youyi¡¯s words, Tian Feifei gently punched her shoulder. The two of them played in the office. Before leaving, Jiang Youyi said to Tian Feifei, ¡°I didn¡¯t take your money for nothing. This is an investment. When I earn money, I¡¯ll give you a share. You have shares in my business.¡± ¡°Hurry up and leave! I¡¯m going to work. Don¡¯t bother me.¡± Tian Feifei did not even look up at her as she typed on the computer. Tian Feifei¡¯s best friend was Jiang Youyi. She was sure that Jiang Youyi¡¯s best friend was her, so she didn¡¯t mind giving Jiang Youyi three million yuan. Besides, Jiang Youyi wasn¡¯t really going to play with it, but start a business. As a good sister, she should support her. She was the only daughter in her family. In the future, the money of the Tian family would be hers. It was just three million yuan, so she wouldn¡¯t take it to heart. After leaving Tian Feifei¡¯s office, Jiang Youyi came to her cousin¡¯s house again. Her cousin¡¯s work was not that busy. She had Saturdays and Sundays off. It was the weekend today, and Chen Hao happened to be idle at home. She was a gold collar. Near the city center, she had a big house and a luxury car. She had already reached the peak of her life and lived a life that many people envied. She just didn¡¯t have a boyfriend yet, but it didn¡¯t matter. She would have men. Chen Hao was wearing home clothes and sitting in front of the computer. Although she was resting, she was still busy with work. ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re already a member of the upper-class society. Why aren¡¯t you resting on the weekend?¡± ¡°I have nothing to do anyway.¡± ¡°You¡¯re already such an outstanding person, yet you¡¯re still working so hard. Looks like I really have to work hard.¡± Jiang Youyi sighed softly. ¡°Aiya! Stop flattering me. Tell me, why are you here?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I come and see you without a purpose?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not such a kind person.¡± ¡°You¡¯re getting smarter.¡± ¡°Stop flattering me. If you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°Haha, do you want to do business with me? My good friend has already invested in it. With such a good thing, of course I have to think of you.¡± ¡°Aiya, how much is it to be able to enter your company¡¯s stock?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you at least understand what I¡¯m going to do?¡± Jiang Youyi was a little embarrassed that things had suddenly gone so smoothly.. Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Miss Jiang? Chapter 137: Miss Jiang? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I don¡¯t have any ideas about starting a business. You can do it if you want. I¡¯ll pay for it.¡± ¡°You seem to have a lot of money, Cousin.¡± Jiang Youyi wanted to get information out of her. ¡°It¡¯s better to ask less. Don¡¯t you know? It¡¯s not good to know too much. I only have two million. I don¡¯t have any more.¡± ¡°Okay! You¡¯ve also become one of my shareholders.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll transfer the money to you immediately.¡± It was even more convenient for Chen Hao. She didn¡¯t have to transfer it to Jiang Youyi through her account like Tian Feifei. Not long after, Jiang Youyi received the money. ¡°Cousin, I can¡¯t guarantee that I won¡¯t lose money.¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal to lose money in business. Don¡¯t feel too pressured. My fund last year also lost money. It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re indeed clear-headed. It¡¯s really a blessing to do business with someone like you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t flatter me. I¡¯m not busy today. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not eating. I have to see someone else.¡± ¡°You¡¯re collecting funds illegally!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°Why would I do something illegal? I just want to take the money that everyone has nothing to do and start a business. Hehe¡­¡± Jiang Youyi felt that she was a little shameless when she said this. Then, after bidding farewell to Chen Hao, she prepared to go to the next stop. After driving for about 20 minutes, she arrived at her destination¡ªOcean City Chinese Medical Hospital. ¡°May I ask where I can get Professor Ji¡¯s expert number?¡± ¡°Which Professor Ji are you looking for? We have many Professor Ji here!¡± ¡°Um¡­ The most handsome one. He seems to have a personality and is a little indifferent.¡± Jiang Youyi only gave a rough description. The person in charge of the registration thought of someone. ¡°Are you looking for Professor Ji Chu? Neurology? Professor Ji Chu?¡± The person-in-charge double-checked. ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± ¡°There are no more slots for Professor Ji Chu today, and none for a month. If you want to register with him, you have to make a reservation on your phone in advance. If you come to the hospital directly, you definitely won¡¯t have a chance.¡± ¡°Ah? Why is that so? Is Ji Chu very famous in your hospital?¡± The person-in-charge continued, ¡°Not only is he famous in our hospital, but he¡¯s also very famous in the entire Ocean City and even in the country. He¡¯s very professional and is very polite to the patients. Because he¡¯s handsome, there are many girls who admire him, so Professor Ji doesn¡¯t accept those who appear out of nowhere.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ What if I go through the back door?¡± ¡°That¡¯s definitely impossible. Someone tried to look for Director Ji that way, but it didn¡¯t work. Who else can you look for? Professor Ji hates those who always look for connections. Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild.¡± The person-in-charge seemed to know Ji Chu very well. This seemed to have something to do with the fact that she was a woman. The single women in this hospital seemed to pay special attention to Ji Chu. Jiang Youyi thought for a moment. ¡°How about this? Give him a call and tell him my surname is Jiang.¡± ¡°Definitely not. There are many people with the surname Jiang. Do you think Professor Ji will remember you? If you want to woo him, wait until he gets off work!¡± ¡°No, no, no. I don¡¯t want to chase him. I really want to see him.¡± ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll give him a call.¡± There was a special line in the hospital, so she could call Ji Chu. However, she didn¡¯t really want to contact him for Jiang Youyi. She just wanted her to give up. ¡°Hello! Is this Professor Ji¡¯s office? There¡¯s a young lady here. She said that her surname is Jiang and she wants to see Professor Ji, but she doesn¡¯t have an appointment or an online registration. She came directly. Can you tell Professor Ji? ¡°Huh? Are you serious? Professor Ji said that? Alright, I understand. Thank you.¡± After hanging up, the person-in-charge looked at Jiang Youyi in disbelief. ¡°Professor Ji wants you to go over and look for him directly. His office is on the tenth floor, the neurology department. The one on the far left is there.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Jiang Youyi smiled and left. Looking at Jiang Youyi¡¯s back, the registration person-in-charge was stunned. This was something she had never expected. She had worked here for several years. How many people wanted to see Professor Ji? Especially those who got in through the back door, they were all ruthlessly rejected by Professor Ji. However, this woman only said that her surname was Jiang, and Professor Ji agreed? What kind of godly operation was this? Jiang Youyi was still uneasy. After all, she had not contacted that person for too long. In front of the office, an outstanding-looking male doctor was already waiting at the door. When he saw Jiang Youyi, he hurriedly went forward to welcome her.. ¡°Hello, are you Miss Jiang?¡± Chapter 138 - Chapter 138: Always Having a Headache Recently Chapter 138: Always Having a Headache Recently Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Yes, I am.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Professor Ji¡¯s assistant. Please follow me. Professor Ji is already waiting inside.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Youyi knocked on the door politely and heard a pleasant voice coming from inside. ¡°Please come in.¡± She gently pushed the door open and saw a handsome man in a white coat. He had short hair and looked very energetic, but he was actually very proud. This was Ji Chu. ¡°Professor Ji, it¡¯s really difficult to find you for treatment! I heard that your slots for next month are gone. It¡¯s really not easy to find you.¡± Jiang Youyi sighed and sat down opposite him. Ji Chu gradually turned around and looked at Jiang Youyi with a deep gaze. Being stared at like this, Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but panic. She quickly said, ¡°Professor Ji, look, I¡¯m already here. Take a look. I¡¯ve been having a headache recently. I suspect that there¡¯s something wrong with my nerves. You¡¯re so amazing. Do you want to treat me?¡± ¡°There¡¯s definitely nothing wrong with your nerves. I just think there¡¯s something wrong with you.¡± ¡°How can there be a problem with me?! I¡¯m a proper girl. My values are very upright. When I take the bus, I will give up my seat to the old, weak, women, and children. When I see beggars, I will reward them with two yuan. I respect the elderly and care for the children. I¡¯m really having a headache. I¡¯m not lying to you.¡± Ji Chu¡¯s face was cold, and no emotions could be seen. ¡°Did your head hurt because you have too many worries? If you didn¡¯t provoke so many powerful people, you might have fewer worries.¡± ¡°How can you say that? I¡¯m not having a headache because of them.¡± Ji Chu couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because of them? Aren¡¯t you worried that Wu Chen will take revenge after you cheated him of his money? Not only did you cheat him of his money, but you also brought him to the hospital. Aren¡¯t you worried that he will take revenge on you? You were in the limelight at Mrs. Li¡¯s banquet. Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will be jealous? Other people couldn¡¯t even ambush you. Not only did you successfully avoid them, but you even drove Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car home. Aren¡¯t you afraid that they will continue if you don¡¯t drive his car one day? Sigh! Really! What doesn¡¯t make you worry and give you a headache?!¡± ¡°Hehe¡­ These are all small matters. I don¡¯t care,¡± Jiang Youyi said casually. Although they hadn¡¯t contacted each other for so long, he still knew everything. He knew everything that happened at Mrs. Li¡¯s banquet, even though He didn¡¯t go. ¡°Is it interesting?¡± Ji Chu suddenly asked, looking at her strangely. ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Jiang Youyi said lightly. ¡°Jiang Youyi, I advise you to restrain yourself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very restrained. It¡¯s always others who find trouble with me.¡± ¡°Heh! Why are you looking for me?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I look for you if there¡¯s nothing important? Could it be that our friendship, our¡ª¡± Ji Chu quickly interrupted her and did not let her continue. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. Don¡¯t mention friendship to me. Every time you mention this to me, I suffer a lot. So, don¡¯t try to build a relationship with me. Just say what you have to say.¡± ¡°Professor Ji, you¡¯re indeed a professor. You¡¯re extraordinarily smart.¡± ¡°Smart? How can I be smarter than you? You¡¯re the smartest in the world.¡± ¡°Ahem! Professor Ji, I¡¯m here to discuss serious matters with you. I¡¯m going to start a business and need your help.¡± ¡°What? You want to start a business? Really?¡± Ji Chu was in disbelief. ¡°Really.¡± ¡°Looks like there¡¯s really something wrong with your nerves.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t have a job. My father always complains about me. I was supposed to marry Xu Yuning, but I didn¡¯t expect the wedding to fail and we even broke up. Now, I¡¯m the only person in my family who has nothing to do. My brother told me that everyone in the Jiang family has to work, so I thought of finding something to do.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t your family have a lot of money?¡± ¡°My family¡¯s money is theirs. Moreover, how heartbreaking would it be to lose it?¡± ¡°So what? Do I look like a sucker to you?¡± Ji Chu was so angry that he laughed. This Jiang Youyi really hadn¡¯t changed at all. She wanted to borrow money, but she didn¡¯t even find a reason in advance. She actually said it so shamelessly. ¡°You¡¯re not that much of a sucker.¡± ¡°Miss, just name your price!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not borrowing money from you. I can get money from others.¡± Indeed, she knew many big shots now. ¡°And?¡± ¡°Hehehehe¡­¡± Seeing Jiang Youyi¡¯s strange smile, Ji Chu suddenly felt uncomfortable. ¡°Don¡¯t laugh like that. I¡¯m scared.¡± Ji Chu quickly interrupted her. ¡°I want to use your Chinese medicine research institute.¡± Ji Chu:¡±¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not there to cause trouble. I want to use your research institute to research a product that can be used by the public and then sell it..¡± Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: Could It Be That Professor Ji Is in Love? Chapter 139: Could It Be That Professor Ji Is in Love? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°What product are you working on?¡± ¡°I have an idea that I need you to fulfill.¡± Ji Chu: ¡°Jiang Youyi! You want to start a business, you want to research things, and you want me to realize it?¡± ¡°Of course! I can only look to you for this matter.¡± ¡°Why should I help you realize it? You¡¯re not my wife either!¡± ¡°I¡¯m indeed not your wife, but I can find you a beautiful and talented wife. I have a friend called Tian Feifei. She started learning the piano when she was in kindergarten¡ª¡± ¡°Stop! Jiang Youyi! If you still want to work with me, don¡¯t mention this.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I won¡¯t mention it. I¡¯ll tell you properly. I really have an idea. As long as you fulfill it, it¡¯s fine. The name of the product will be registered with you. I¡¯ll leave the manufacturing to the research department. I only want the supply chain. You don¡¯t have to worry about how I sell it. I have my own way. After establishing the company, I¡¯ll give you shares. It¡¯s similar to the other shareholders. We¡¯ll split the money together.¡± ¡°You should understand that I have no feelings for money, and I don¡¯t lack it.¡± ¡°I understand! Although you don¡¯t lack money, you don¡¯t have a sense of accomplishment. Although you¡¯re talented, you don¡¯t have anything to show. The things you research are not recognized in the country at all and can¡¯t be sold. Let me tell you.¡± At this point, Jiang Youyi approached Ji Chu and muttered in his ear. Ji Chu¡¯s assistant happened to look into the office. When he saw this, his eyes widened. He had been by Ji Chu¡¯s side for many years and knew his personality. He was a clean freak and did not dare to get close to anyone. Especially women, they could not get close. When treating female patients, he would maintain a certain distance and wish he could use binoculars to look at them. However, this woman could actually get close to him, and it was so close that he did not feel disgusted. What was this woman¡¯s background? What was their relationship? ¡°Professor Ji, I¡¯m not joking with you. I know you¡¯re capable, but not many countries can accept those things of yours, let alone domestically. Therefore, you need something to build your image. You have to tell everyone that you¡¯re a genius. Only then will more people believe you and your research! Believe me, I won¡¯t cheat you.¡± ¡°Are you sure you won¡¯t cheat me?¡± ¡°Of course. I¡¯m only telling you this because we¡¯re so close. Others couldn¡¯t even think about it.¡± ¡°You came here in person because of this?¡± ¡°No, didn¡¯t I just tell you? I have a headache the most.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that all your own doing? You left Xu Yuning and now you¡¯re clinging to Yunxiao. Ha! If you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later.¡± ¡°Haha! I won¡¯t. I know what I¡¯m doing. ¡°Professor Ji, I¡¯ve already told you so much. Are you going to agree or not?¡± ¡°I have to think about it!¡± ¡°This matter is worth thinking about. How about this? Give me an answer within a day. Bye!¡± As Jiang Youyi spoke, she was about to leave. Suddenly, she turned around, took out a box from her branded bag, and threw it on Ji Chu¡¯s table. ¡°Keep it!¡± She gave the phone Lu Yunxiao gave her to Tian Feifei, Chen Hao, and Ji Chu respectively. She kept the blue one for herself. Jiang Youyi was Jiang Youyi. She didn¡¯t need her own money to please others. She didn¡¯t use a single cent and even earned a favorable impression. ¡°What for?¡± ¡°I¡¯m trying to please you! If you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass.¡± Ji Chu:¡±!!!¡± Seeing that Ji Chu did not refuse, Jiang Youyi smiled sinisterly and quickly left the office. She turned around and saw Ji Chu¡¯s assistant. ¡°You¡¯re so good-looking!¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but praise him. The assistant blushed when he was praised by such a beautiful lady. He touched his skin. It was indeed smooth. Yes, he was very good-looking. He watched Jiang Youyi leave before entering Ji Chu¡¯s office to tell him about the arrangements for the afternoon. The moment he entered, he saw Ji Chu standing in front of the window, looking out. ¡°Professor Ji, this afternoon¡­¡± He walked to Ji Chu¡¯s side. Ji Chu waved his hand at him, warning him not to speak. Following Ji Chu¡¯s gaze, he also looked out and actually saw Miss Jiang preparing to get into the car. It turned out that Professor Ji had been staring at this place because he wanted to take another look at that woman. Furthermore, that gaze was so gentle! There was even a hint of doting in it. That¡¯s right! It was doting. It was a man¡¯s unique love for women! He had never seen Ji Chu treat any woman like this. ¡°Professor Ji, is Miss Jiang your girlfriend?¡± Could it be that Professor Ji was in love? He asked this question bravely.. Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: A Phone Shell, Why? Chapter 140: A Phone Shell, Why? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It turned out that his courage was wrong. When Ji Chu turned around to look at him, he regretted it. His head seemed to have cramps. He actually asked such a vicious question. He really deserved to die. ¡°Is the research institute still occupied?¡± ¡°Dr. Zhang used it a while ago, but he¡¯s gone now.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°Professor Ji, do you need the research institute?¡± ¡°Yes, I need to use it.¡± ¡°Got it!¡± Ji Chu did not agree to Jiang Youyi¡¯s request, but he already had a plan in mind. He could reject anyone, including his father, but not Jiang Youyi. No matter how rude Jiang Youyi¡¯s request was, he could not bear to reject her. Ocean City, in the most high-end district. Xu Yuning came to see Zhang Meng last night. Although nothing happened between the two of them, Xu Yuning still stayed over. When he opened his eyes, it was already afternoon. Zhang Meng had already prepared food and was waiting for Xu Yuning to wake up. ¡°What time is it?¡± Xu Yuning asked Zhang Meng the moment he came out of the bedroom. ¡°Yuning, you slept so late last night. Why didn¡¯t you rest more?¡± Xu Yuning did not answer her. Instead, he chose to sit on the sofa and rub his temples. ¡°It¡¯s 1:00 p.m.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already afternoon?¡± Xu Yuning did not expect himself to sleep for so long. He quickly took out his phone and started flipping through it. ¡°Have some food. I know you¡¯ve been tired these past few days. I cooked it. The food outside is not clean. I think it¡¯s better to cook at home. Try it. The clean lamb chop I made is very healthy.¡± Zhang Meng was good at cooking. Xu Yuning liked to eat, so he went to the table with her and started to eat. ¡°Has my mom been causing trouble for you recently?¡± Xu Yuning asked. What he didn¡¯t understand was that most of the time, it was Zhang Meng who took the initiative to look for Mrs. Xu. ¡°That¡¯s your mother. She came to look for me because she thinks highly of me.¡± Zhang Meng didn¡¯t hide anything when she pretended to be weak. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll tell my mother. You don¡¯t have to worry too much. My mother is a very domineering person. You¡¯ll be at a disadvantage if you interact with her.¡± Xu Yuning knew that the last time he was hospitalized, Zhang Meng had suffered a lot in order to take care of him. ¡°How is that so? It¡¯s all my fault for making your mother angry.¡± Zhang Meng still pretended to be weak. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything wrong!¡± Xu Yuning said calmly. ¡°It¡¯s really fine. Although I don¡¯t work in the corporation anymore, you bought me a house in the best neighborhood and gave me some money. I¡¯m saving it. It¡¯s enough to last for many years.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s words were very tactful. She was telling Xu Yuning that she no longer had a job and had very little money, but she was not so direct. Xu Yuning also knew that the money he gave Zhang Meng was indeed not much. Now, she has indeed lost her job. He suddenly asked, ¡°Do you want to do something?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Meng pretended not to understand. ¡°What do you want to do? Start a business or something? I can give you money.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need! You¡¯ve already done a lot for me. I don¡¯t want to trouble you anymore. I have a plan to go out to work, but after the abortion, my body is a little weak, so I haven¡¯t gone out. After I recover, I¡¯ll go out to work. I think I¡¯m quite suitable for work.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s words were very skillful. She was telling Xu Yuning that she had an abortion because of him, causing her health to be poor, and she can¡¯t even go out to work now. A rich man like Xu Yuning would not be unmoved when he saw women doing this for him. Zhang Meng was very smart. She knew that Xu Yuning was very rich, but he could not give it to her for no reason. Hence, she had to find a good reason and make Xu Yuning feel guilty. When a man felt guilty, he would naturally give you money to spend, especially a rich man like Xu Yuning. When Zhang Meng woke up in the morning and swiped her phone, she saw the news of the banquet last night. She knew that Xu Yuning had spent three million yuan to buy Jiang Youyi¡¯s phone case. Other than shock, she was also madly jealous. What right did a phone case have? She had even aborted a child for Xu Yuning. However, she had to control her emotions and not let Xu Yuning notice it. What was so good about Jiang Youyi? What was wrong with her? She just didn¡¯t have a rich father like Jiang Youyi. Other than that, she didn¡¯t think she was inferior to Jiang Youyi. She had sacrificed more for Xu Yuning than Jiang Youyi. Hence, Xu Yuning had to show her some appreciation after bidding for the phone case. Otherwise, it would be too unfair. As she expected, Xu Yuning immediately felt guilty at the mention of abortion. ¡°If you haven¡¯t recovered yet, you can rest at home! Don¡¯t go to work..¡± Chapter 141 - Chapter 141: Unqualified Chapter 141: Unqualified Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°But I can¡¯t always rest! I have to do something. Although my education level isn¡¯t very high, I¡¯m still a university student. I can¡¯t waste my life.¡± Zhang Meng¡¯s words were soft and weak. This could easily make a man like Xu Yuning¡¯s heart soften. ¡°Think about what you want to do. Don¡¯t go out and work. Do something yourself. I¡¯ll invest in you.¡± Xu Yuning took a bite of the lamb chop. ¡°Thank you, Yuning!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me. It¡¯s not much money either.¡± Xu Yuning was naturally generous. After all, he was rich. Even if he gave Zhang Meng the chance to start a business many times, he would be able to take it out and not take it seriously. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do some market research in the next few days.¡± ¡°Take this card. There¡¯s more than a million yuan in it. Use your spare money and buy some supplements to nourish your body. When I¡¯m not so busy, I¡¯ll buy you a car.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯m not in a hurry to use a car. It¡¯s very convenient to take a taxi or call Didi.¡± It was not that Zhang Meng did not want it, but she knew that she could not ask for so much at once, lest she arouse Xu Yuning¡¯s disgust. This way, Xu Yuning would feel that Zhang Meng was not a woman who valued money that much. She truly loved him. A man like Xu Yuning did not lack anything. He would not have high expectations of a woman like Zhang Meng. As long as she liked him, was loyal to him, and relied on him, it was fine. On the second day of the banquet, Mrs. Li arranged to meet Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai often accompanied Mrs. Li to play mahjong, drink coffee, and shop at the mall, so she did not feel surprised that Mrs. Li looked for her. When she was halfway through her coffee, Mrs. Li suddenly said, ¡°I don¡¯t think Jiang Youyi is that bad!¡± Mrs. Li was shocked. She had said a lot of bad things about Jiang Youyi in front of Mrs. Li so as to make Mrs. Li hates her. Moreover, there were many segments of the banquet that Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t know about. They had deliberately arranged it to embarrass Jiang Youyi. They even announced the banquet list in advance. Jiang Youyi had to come even if she didn¡¯t want to. The two of them knew these things better than anyone. Why would a big shot like Mrs. Li specially make things difficult for someone of Jiang Youyi¡¯s status? It must have been Mrs. Bai¡¯s words that made Mrs. Li hate Jiang Youyi. Who would have thought that Jiang Youyi was so smart? Even after so many obstacles, she did not manage to stump her. Instead, she was in the limelight and surpassed Bai Bing¡¯s performance at the banquet. Mrs. Bai didn¡¯t say anything. Mrs. Li beat her to it and said, ¡°For this coming-of-age ceremony, my Tianxin likes Jiang Youyi¡¯s gift the most. She listened to that record for a long time at night before she was willing to sleep. Tianxin has had everything since she was young. She only accepted what others gave her politely, but this time is different. She likes that record very much. It¡¯s really rare.¡± ¡°I think this is precisely because Jiang Youyi is scheming. How could she know for no reason that Tianxin likes that record? She must have investigated it before. Isn¡¯t she a little too scheming?¡± Seeing that Mrs. Bai had changed her opinion of Jiang Youyi, Mrs. Li immediately badmouthed her again. But this time, Mrs. Bai would not believe her so easily. ¡°She should have investigated, but this proves that she values Tianxin. My family doesn¡¯t have much contact with the Jiang family. I still feel bad that I suddenly accepted such a precious gift. I heard that that record is worth a lot of money. Even if you have money, it¡¯s difficult to get it.¡± Mrs. Bai wasn¡¯t a fool. She could tell that Mrs. Li liked Jiang Youyi now, so she didn¡¯t dare to badmouth her anymore. Besides, it would be very easy for others to suspect that she was deliberately targeting Jiang Youyi. ¡°Yes, what you said makes sense. Jiang Youyi won first place in the auction. Are you and Secretary Li going to meet her?¡± Mrs. Bai changed the topic and stopped dwelling on it. ¡°Speaking of this, Old Li and I feel like we owe her!¡± ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Mrs. Bai was puzzled. ¡°Jiang Youyi doesn¡¯t want to meet Old Li alone at all. She said that she¡¯s afraid of delaying his work. This child really doesn¡¯t have any crooked thoughts. You have to know that all those businessmen wanted to meet my Old Li and ask him to help them. However, Jiang Youyi doesn¡¯t want to meet him at all. It can be seen that her values are still very upright.¡± ¡°She gave up such a rare opportunity?¡± Mrs. Bai had never thought of it. ¡°Yes! Why would I lie to you? Is there a need?¡± Mrs. Bai was at a loss for words. She had just said bad things about Jiang Youyi, but she did not expect her to be so magnanimous, making her seem a little unqualified.. Chapter 142 - Chapter 142: He Wont Reject Her Chapter 142: He Won¡¯t Reject Her Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Then, shouldn¡¯t you tell me why you only target Jiang Youyi? We¡¯ve been good friends for many years. If you want to target Jiang Youyi, I¡¯ll help you. But then again, if Jiang Youyi is really a good child, I still don¡¯t want to hurt her.¡± Clearly, Mrs. Li¡¯s impression of Jiang Youyi had changed, which was why she said this. Mrs. Bai immediately felt bad. Mrs. Li had already asked directly, so Mrs. Bai had no choice but to answer. However, she could not tell the truth, so she began to act. Then, tears fell from her eyes. She looked so pitiful. ¡°Don¡¯t cry! I only asked you a question. I didn¡¯t say how you were!¡± Mrs. Li saw that she was crying and was a little at a loss. Mrs. Li took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. Then, she sobbed and said, ¡°We¡¯ve been good friends for many years. You know my personality. Unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, I won¡¯t beg you. As for why¡­ Sigh! It¡¯s all for Bai Bing. As long as my daughter can live well, it¡¯s fine for me to bear some infamy.¡± Mrs. Li was shocked and hurriedly asked, ¡°What does this have to do with Bai Bing? Could it be that Bai Bing has a grudge against Jiang Youyi?¡± ¡°They don¡¯t hold any grudges against each other, and they don¡¯t know each other well, but they both like a man¡ªLu Yunxiao.¡± Mrs. Li¡¯s cries gradually subsided, and she only choked for a moment. ¡°Lu Yunxiao?¡± Mrs. Li immediately reacted. ¡°You mean, Jiang Youyi and Lu Yunxiao¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! The two of them are always on the trending searches, so I can¡¯t help but suspect. Also, Chairman Lu invited our family to his house alone previously. A high and mighty person like Chairman Lu rarely invites people to his house alone. There must be a reason for him to treat our family like this.¡± ¡°Chairman Lu thinks highly of Bai Bing, right?¡± Mrs. Li nodded slightly. ¡°I think so! It¡¯s not that our Bai Bing is outstanding. Perhaps Chairman Lu thinks that our Bai Bing is of good quality and is suitable to be their daughter-in-law. You should know that I¡¯m also good friends with the deceased Mrs. Lu. Bai Bing and Lu Yunxiao have known each other since they were young. They have a foundation of feelings and know each other very well. She¡¯s better than a girl like Jiang Youyi, right?¡± Hearing Mrs. Bai¡¯s words, Mrs. Li could understand. ¡°You¡¯re right about this.¡± ¡°In the beginning, Jiang Youyi broke up with Xu Yuning. Then, on the day of the wedding, she scammed Lu Yunxiao and was on the trending searches with him. Actually, I didn¡¯t care much about it, but as time passed, I realized that Jiang Youyi is very scheming and can always get close to Lu Yunxiao. You know that my Bai Bing is an innocent child and doesn¡¯t beat around the bush, so she naturally has to suffer a little.¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, I understand. But why didn¡¯t you ask Bai Bing to look for me? I¡¯m her aunt. I¡¯ll definitely help her.¡± ¡°Bai Bing is a shy child. Why would she look for you for such a matter? These few days, she hasn¡¯t been sleeping well or eating well because of this matter. She has lost a lot of weight. Seeing her like this, as her mother, I naturally don¡¯t feel good. That¡¯s why I asked you for help. Sigh!¡± After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, she held her forehead. It seemed like she was having a headache over this matter. Mrs. Li¡¯s heart ached when she saw this. They were both people with daughters, so they could naturally understand some things. ¡°Since you¡¯re doing this for the child, I can figure it out. But don¡¯t let my Old Li know. Old Li has always been old-fashioned and unreasonable. If he finds out, he might have a problem with you.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Don¡¯t be too conflicted. I don¡¯t think our family will have any contact with the Jiang family. Don¡¯t worry about this matter.¡± Mrs. Li said this because she didn¡¯t blame Mrs. Bai for targeting Jiang Youyi previously. Mrs. Bai heaved a long sigh of relief. This matter was finally over. It seemed that Mrs. Li was still on her side after her godly actions. Of course, she was happy. The reason why she acted like this was because she didn¡¯t want Mrs. Li to hate her. Now that the Li family¡¯s status in Ocean City was like the sun in the sky, she didn¡¯t want to offend this big tree. She might have to ask her for help in the future. However, Bai Bing seemed to be really hurt this time. After the banquet, she did not go to work the next day and locked herself in her room. Jiang Youyi was overjoyed. She found three partners in a day and two of them had already invested. Although Ji Chu had yet to agree, he would not reject her under normal circumstances.. Chapter 143 - Chapter 143: Inexplicably Good Mood Chapter 143: Inexplicably Good Mood Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After a busy day, she was a little hungry, so she wanted to eat something. However, Lu Yunxiao called her. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Hello!¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Where are you?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Do I need to report to you where I am? Who are you to me?¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°I¡¯m just asking.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°No comment.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Come and find me!¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°No!¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°You have to come.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°Weird! Why?¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°My car is still with you.¡± Only then did Jiang Youyi realize that Lu Yunxiao¡¯s car was still at her house. Jiang Youyi sighed softly. If she had known this would happen, she should have asked Chen Jiang, his assistant, to drive the Maybach back. Lu Yunxiao: ¡°What? You don¡¯t want to return my car?¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°No.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Not necessarily.¡± She was so greedy. Jiang Youyi: ¡°What kind of person do you think I am?¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°A greedy and lecherous person.¡± It was fine if she was greedy, she admitted it. How could he say that she was lecherous? However, Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t argue with him. If he was willing to say it, so be it! It was fine as long as she knew that she wasn¡¯t like that. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Do you still want me to send you a car?¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Of course I do!¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°If you want to, don¡¯t say so much. I¡¯ll send it to you later.¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°I want to use it now.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°I can¡¯t now. I have to eat. I haven¡¯t even settled on my lunch!¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°Come to my company to eat.¡± Jiang Youyi: ¡°No!¡± Lu Yunxiao: ¡°It¡¯s very delicious. You don¡¯t have to waste your money.¡± Jiang Youyi:¡±?¡± Let¡¯s not talk about whether it was delicious or not. Not having to waste money was attractive enough. Jiang Youyi: ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll go home and get your car first. I¡¯ll be at your company in 20 minutes. Don¡¯t forget to prepare food for me.¡± After saying that, she hung up. Lu Yunxiao looked at his phone in a daze and smiled. Chen Jiang looked at the boss and immediately had a plan. ¡°Boss, I haven¡¯t had a holiday for a long time.¡± ¡°And then?¡± Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t even look at him. ¡°I want to take a vacation and take my wife to Phuket. She¡¯s always wanted to go.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessary.¡± He was still ruthlessly rejected, but this was not within his expectations. The reason why he said this was because he saw Lu Yunxiao smile so happily. Under such circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t reject a vacation, right? However, in an instant, Lu Yunxiao seemed to have become a different person. His attitude towards him was completely different from when he called just now. It didn¡¯t matter. When Miss Jiang came later, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to plead for him. Chen Jiang still didn¡¯t give up. Twenty minutes later, Jiang Youyi arrived at Qihe Corporation on time. After parking the car in the basement, she took Lu Yunxiao¡¯s exclusive elevator and went to the top floor¡ªLu Yunxiao¡¯s presidential office. At the entrance of the president¡¯s office, Chen Jiang was waiting for her. When he saw her, he hurriedly went up to her. ¡°Hello, Miss Jiang!¡± ¡°Hello!¡± Jiang Youyi seemed to be in a good mood. ¡°This is the juice I bought for you.¡± Chen Jiang handed it over. Jiang Youyi took it. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Miss Jiang, did President Lu seem to be in a good mood when he called you just now?¡± ¡°I think so.¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t tell anything from the phone. In her impression, Lu Yunxiao had always been like that. ¡°Can you put in a good word for me?¡± ¡°Huh? Did you do something wrong? Did you take bribes?¡± ¡°No, you misunderstood. I want to rest for a few days and take my wife on a trip.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t you tell Lu Yunxiao yourself?¡± ¡°I did, but President Lu rejected it.¡± Jiang Youyi immediately handed the juice back. ¡°I can¡¯t help you.¡± ¡°Miss Jiang¡­¡± Chen Jiang wanted to cry. ¡°Sigh! Forget it. Since you delivered my phone, I¡¯ll help you. But I can¡¯t guarantee that it will succeed!¡± As she spoke, Jiang Youyi brought the fruit juice back. ¡°Miss Jiang, you¡¯ll definitely succeed.¡± Chen Jiang was more confident than Jiang Youyi. ¡°Why are you so confident?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re President Lu¡¯s first love! President Lu¡¯s first time is all yours. The first kiss, the first time he lent a car, the first time he let someone come to his office. You¡¯re very impressive.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. Don¡¯t flatter me. I¡¯m not as amazing as you say.¡± Jiang Youyi was confused by his words. Then, she walked to Lu Yunxiao¡¯s office and knocked lightly on the door. She did not care if the person inside agreed or not. After knocking, she pushed the door open and entered. When Lu Yunxiao saw her, the corners of his lips curled up. For some reason, he felt inexplicably good when he saw Jiang Youyi.. Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Steamed Australian Spiny Lobster Chapter 144: Steamed Australian Spiny Lobster Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Jiang Youyi was different from those girls from rich families. She was dressed very ordinary and looked very comfortable. She was only wearing a white knitted shirt, light blue jeans, and a white cashmere coat today. She was wearing light blue boots the same color as her jeans. Although it was just ordinary clothes, it looked good together. From head to toe, the Chanel bag was the most valuable. What Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t know was that she had carried that bag for many years. However, Lu Yunxiao could still tell with his sharp eyes that she had carried this bag a few times. This meant that Jiang Youyi had very few bags, or she liked this type. ¡°I¡¯ve already parked the car in the basement. Here¡¯s the key.¡± As she spoke, Jiang Youyi placed the car keys on Lu Yunxiao¡¯s huge desk. ¡°Who gave you fruit juice?¡± Lu Yunxiao couldn¡¯t help but ask when he saw Jiang Youyi holding a beautiful cup. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. Do you want to try it?¡± Jiang Youyi said as she inserted the straw and handed it to Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Is it that good? You want me to drink it? It¡¯s not poisonous, is it?¡± Lu Yunxiao was very vigilant. He wasn¡¯t afraid that Jiang Youyi would poison him, but it was possible that there was laxative in it. ¡°It¡¯s arsenic. Do you want to try it?¡± Jiang Youyi asked. ¡°I¡¯ve never drunk arsenic before. It might taste very good,¡± Lu Yunxiao said as he picked up the juice and took a sip. ¡°Chen Jiang wants to rest for a few days,¡± Jiang Youyi suddenly said. ¡°I rejected him just now. I won¡¯t give him a vacation.¡± ¡°But it seems like you have to now. You drank his juice, but you didn¡¯t approve of his leave. Isn¡¯t that too stingy?¡± Lu Yunxiao:!!! ¡°He¡¯s really bold. Is he starting to scheme against me now?¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t scheme against you. He only begged me. I schemed against you. Do you understand this logic?¡± ¡°I understand the logic, but I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re so good to him.¡± ¡°Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I¡¯m accumulating good fortune for myself by helping him.¡± Jiang Youyi made up nonsense. ¡°Oh¡­ You¡¯re so kind. Why did you use a phone case to cheat Xu Yuning of three million last night?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Well¡­ It¡¯s getting late. Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to treat me to a meal? Isn¡¯t it time to eat now?¡± ¡°Follow me!¡± Lu Yunxiao stood up and walked out with Jiang Youyi. When she went out, she met Chen Jiang, who was waiting at the door. ¡°I told President Lu just now and he approved your leave.¡± ¡°Really? Thank you, President Lu. Thank you, Miss Jiang!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t I remember giving him leave?¡± ¡°Although you didn¡¯t say it out loud, I can already hear your thoughts. You¡¯re very sympathetic to him.¡± Lu Yunxiao smiled helplessly. ¡°If he¡¯s not around, are you going to be my assistant?¡± ¡°Sure! But my fee is a little expensive. Are you willing to pay 1.5 million yuan?¡± Of course, she couldn¡¯t ask for a low price from Lu Yunxiao. ¡°He¡¯s only worth a million a year. You want me to pay 1.5 million? Are you sick?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sick! I just saw a doctor today and he said that I¡¯m very healthy.¡± She had indeed seen a doctor, but not for illness. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with your brain,¡± Lu Yunxiao complained. ¡°President Lu, will you eat with someone with mental problems?¡± Jiang Youyi asked back and looked at Lu Yunxiao innocently. Lu Yunxiao was speechless. Chen Jiang, who was watching from the side, was stunned. President Lu was such an eloquent person, but when he met Jiang Youyi, he was actually speechless. Besides, who would dare to argue with President Lu?! Only Jiang Youyi was so bold. Chen Jiang couldn¡¯t help but admire Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi thought that they were here for a work meal. Just like the last time Chen Hao went to eat, everyone was in the same canteen and ordered their favorite food. However, she was wrong. The food Lu Yunxiao mentioned belonged to him alone. In the president¡¯s office, there was a medium-sized kitchen connected to the dining room. Lu Yunxiao could eat anything here. Although this place was not very spacious, the environment was not bad. It was decorated in a minimalist style and was very comfortable. From the window, one could see the entire city of Ocean City. It was very vast. Jiang Youyi looked at the menu and couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. There were all kinds of dishes on the menu, and looking at the pictures, they felt very exquisite. Jiang Youyi was a girl. Although she was greedy, she did not dare to eat anything too greasy in order to maintain her figure, so she ordered a steamed Australian Spiny Lobster.. Chapter 145 - Chapter 145: Too Sweet Chapter 145: Too Sweet Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lu Yunxiao ordered a small stir-fried meat and a shrimp celery with a bowl of chicken soup. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t just eat her own lobster. She also ate the dishes Lu Yunxiao ordered. Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t only eat his own dishes either. He even ate Jiang Youyi¡¯s lobster. The two of them ate happily. ¡°I gave you four phones, but you only used one. What about the rest?¡± Lu Yunxiao suddenly asked her. Jiang Youyi paused. ¡°Where else can it be? At home!¡± ¡°Then call me when you get home. I¡¯ll take a look,¡± Lu Yunxiao requested. ¡°No way? Are you that stingy? Do you have to check the things you give to others at any time?¡± Jiang Youyi was shocked. Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly, then wiped his hands with a handkerchief. His movements were very elegant. ¡°Normally, no one would dare to pass on what I give to others. It¡¯s the same for you.¡± ¡°Why should I be the same?¡± Jiang Youyi liked to be different. ¡°I won¡¯t argue with you this time. There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Lu Yunxiao seemed to be very serious. Jiang Youyi:¡±¡­¡± ¡°By the way, what¡¯s your relationship with Ji Chu in the past?¡± Lu Yunxiao mentioned this person again. Jiang Youyi almost choked when she heard him mention Ji Chu. ¡°That¡­¡± She calmed down and continued, ¡°It¡¯s nothing! It¡¯s just an ordinary relationship!¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be asking me who Ji Chu is?¡± Lu Yunxiao chuckled. ¡°This¡­¡± Jiang Youyi felt like she had been tricked. Oh no! These things were too delicious. She was too focused on eating and didn¡¯t guard against Lu Yunxiao. ¡°No, why are you still trying to get information out of me?¡± Jiang Youyi asked angrily. She¡¯ll definitely be in a bad mood after being schemed against for no reason. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to get information out of you. I just want to tell you that you can see Ji Chu, but you have to inform me before that.¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned. ¡°Who are you to me? How can you control me like this? Even my father doesn¡¯t control me like this!¡± ¡°This matter is settled. I¡¯ll let it go this time. This can¡¯t happen again,¡± Lu Yunxiao said as he picked up a prawn for Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi looked at the prawns in the bowl and couldn¡¯t help but think of something. ¡°Are you telling me that I¡¯m blind?¡± ¡°What blind? You won¡¯t gain weight if you eat prawns. Look at how fat you have become.¡± No girl would like others to call her fat, and Jiang Youyi was no exception. Although she was not fat, her face was a little chubby. After hearing Lu Yunxiao¡¯s words, she suddenly felt that she had put on a little weight. Then, she couldn¡¯t help but pinch her face. It was very funny. Lu Yunxiao looked at Jiang Youyi and smiled. For some reason, he felt very happy eating with Jiang Youyi. He had never experienced this feeling with another woman. Of course, he did not want to experience it, nor did he give any woman such a chance. The only chance was given to Jiang Youyi. After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Youyi prepared to leave. Before she left, she didn¡¯t forget to speak up for Chen Jiang. ¡°Don¡¯t forget to give your assistant a break.¡± ¡°Then come over and be my assistant.¡± ¡°1.5 million, not a single cent less.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t lower the price?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°What if I go back on my word?¡± ¡°Sure! But be careful.¡± ¡°Be careful of what?¡± Lu Yunxiao was puzzled. ¡°Be careful, I¡¯ll blacklist you on Weibo.¡± ¡°What a ruthless person!¡± This was quite ruthless to Lu Yunxiao, but¡­ why did she always speak up for Chen Jiang? Thinking of this, Lu Yunxiao couldn¡¯t help but be jealous of Chen Jiang. He felt that Chen Jiang was an eyesore in every way. ¡°Bye-bye!¡± After saying goodbye to Lu Yunxiao, Jiang Youyi hurriedly left the Qihe Corporation. Lin Feng encountered something troubling. His company had previously invested in a movie and he had been invited to the premiere. He was the producer, so he had to appear. However, by chance, he actually had a scandal with the female celebrity, Lin Meirao. It was also trending on Weibo. Although it was fourth place and not as popular as Lu Yunxiao and Jiang Youyi, he still felt terrible. In the private group of three. [Lin Feng: Brothers, I¡¯m in trouble.] [Wang Jiangbei: What¡¯s wrong?] [Lin Feng: Brother Lu, come out and save me!] [Lu Yunxiao: What is it?] [Lin Feng: Brother Lu, do you have time?] [Lu Yunxiao: No.] [Lin Feng: Don¡¯t lie to me. I know you. You¡¯ve already had lunch at this time. The rest of the time is rest.] [Lu Yunxiao: I have to accompany my girlfriend.] [Wang Jiangbei: Haha!] [Lin Feng: Damn, it can¡¯t be, right?] It was obvious that the girlfriend Lu Yunxiao was talking about was definitely Jiang Youyi. Recently, he had been in frequent contact with Jiang Youyi. The two of them were really sweet now.. Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: Fragrance Chapter 146: Fragrance Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the banquet ended, Jiang Youyi even drove Yunxiao¡¯s Maybach home. This matter had already been on the news, and everyone in Ocean City probably knew about it now. Did he have to be so high-profile? [Lin Feng: I think I¡¯ve been set up. I only went to the premiere and that woman took the initiative to come over. She seemed to have pretended to fall and took the opportunity to throw herself into my arms. There were so many media outlets watching. I couldn¡¯t possibly push her away, right? So I helped her up. It¡¯s fine that when I helped her up and she didn¡¯t thank me, but she actually kissed me. Isn¡¯t this deceiving me?] [Wang Jiangbei: What I¡¯m concerned about is whether you¡¯ve kisse or not.] [Lin Feng: Can I let her have her way? I slapped her face.] [Wang Jiangbei: You¡¯re really something.] [Lin Feng: But it was captured by the media. Otherwise, why would I say that someone set it up?] [Wang Jiangbei: Is she pretty?] [Lin Feng: She definitely can¡¯t compare to Jiang Youtian. In my heart, no one can compare to her.] [Wang Jiangbei: Does Jiang Youtian know that you¡¯re so lewd?] [Lin Feng: What do you mean I¡¯m lewd? I¡¯m not familiar with that woman at all. I¡¯ve only seen her once. However, I called Tiantian to explain later, but she didn¡¯t pick up. I think she¡¯s angry and jealous!] [Wang Jiangbei: Why do I feel like you¡¯re dreaming?] [Lin Feng: That must be it. Otherwise, why didn¡¯t she pick up my call? She¡¯s never like this.] [Wang Jiangbei: I think that Jiang Youtian has never saved your number, haha!] [Lin Feng: Stop teasing me. I¡¯m here to ask for help, not for you to belittle me. Let¡¯s not talk about whether Jiang Youtian will be unhappy first. My old man must be unhappy. When I get home, I¡¯m probably finished. My old man hates actresses the most.] [Wang Jiangbei: How dare you fall in love with Jiang Youtian?] [Lin Feng: She hasn¡¯t promised me yet!] [Wang Jiangbei: Why do I feel like you¡¯re playing with Jiang Youtian? Would you dump her because your family didn¡¯t agree?] [Lin Feng: How can that be? Jiang Youtian is Jiang Youtian. I think my grandfather will like her.] [Lu Yunxiao: But¡­ Jiang Youtian might not like you. The Jiang family has a lot of personalities.] [Lin Feng: Didn¡¯t you settle Jiang Youyi too?] [Lu Yunxiao: Who am I?] [Lin Feng: I¡¯m here to ask you to give me ideas, not to suppress me.] [Wang Jiangbei: Alright, let me give you an idea. Go to that woman¡¯s company and ask them to make a statement to explain this matter. You¡¯re a big shot. Her company will definitely agree.] [Lin Feng: What¡¯s the use of that kind of statement? Normal people wouldn¡¯t believe it.] [Wang Jiangbei: Brother Lu, do you have any suggestions?] [Lu Yunxiao: I think you can look for Jiang Youyi. She has a lot of ideas.] [Lin Feng: What are you saying? I¡¯m not in a scandal with her. What¡¯s the use of looking for her?] [Wang Jiangbei: Oh my! Someone seems to be in love with Jiang Youyi right now! Isn¡¯t that too much?] Lu Yunxiao only smiled and didn¡¯t talk to them anymore. ¡°President Lu,¡± Chen Jiang walked to Lu Yunxiao¡¯s desk and said softly. ¡°What is it?¡± Lu Yunxiao was still looking down at his phone and didn¡¯t look at him. ¡°Before the chairman left, he said that he wanted you to go back to the old residence tonight,¡± Chen Jiang said respectfully. ¡°Okay, got it.¡± Lu Yunxiao still didn¡¯t look at him. After a while, Lu Yunxiao realized that Chen Jiang had not left. He had been staying where he was. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± ¡°President Lu, about the leave?¡± Chen Jiang asked in embarrassment. ¡°Oh, you can take leave from tomorrow onwards,¡± Lu Yunxiao said and finally glanced at him. Chen Jiang was so happy that he almost jumped up. Last year, he did not rest for a single day. He followed Lu Yunxiao around all day, although he could earn a lot of money. However, humans were not machines that could be operated with money. He also needed to rest. Besides, his wife always complained that he was too busy with work. Now, he could finally accompany his wife to play. ¡°Thank you, President Lu!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t thank me, thank her!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll thank Young Madam.¡± He knew that Lu Yunxiao was infatuated with Jiang Youyi, so he changed his words. Although it sounded a little mushy, it was pleasing to the ears. Seeing that he was so sensible, Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t make things difficult for him. After letting him leave, he put on his coat, took his car keys, went to the basement, and got into the car. He hadn¡¯t started the car, but when he got in, he smelled something special. It seemed to be¡­ the fragrance of medicinal herbs. Lu Yunxiao¡¯s nose was very sharp, so he smelled it the moment he got into the car. Was this fragrance¡­ brought by her? Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: Not That Influential Chapter 147: Not That Influential Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Lu Yunxiao returned to the old residence, he saw that his father was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and his expression didn¡¯t look too good. After he went over, Lu Yunxiao asked, ¡°Dad, why are you looking for me?¡± ¡°What is it? Look at what you¡¯ve been doing these past few days. You¡¯re always trending on Weibo. You¡¯re the president of the corporation, not an entertainment star.¡± Lu Guo¡¯an seemed to be very dissatisfied with recent events. ¡°Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it!¡± Lu Yunxiao and Lu Guo¡¯an had always been straightforward and did not like to beat around the bush. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be direct. I won¡¯t agree with you being with Jiang Youyi.¡± As Lu Guo¡¯an spoke, Du Meihong, who was arranging flowers at the side, hurriedly listened carefully, not daring to miss anything. ¡°I don¡¯t need your permission for this. I¡¯m the one looking for a wife, not you.¡± ¡°Why are you talking to me like that?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was obviously dissatisfied with Lu Yunxiao¡¯s attitude. He slammed the coffee table. ¡°I¡¯m not being rude to you. I just think it¡¯s my own business.¡± ¡°Do you think you can do it now? That I can¡¯t even interfere in your affairs?¡± ¡°Dad, you can¡¯t be such a person. When you remarried, I didn¡¯t interfere with you. Now, you¡¯re interfering with my business? Isn¡¯t that a little unfair?¡± Lu Yunxiao¡¯s words were filled with disdain and even mockery. Lu Guo¡¯an was his father. How could he not have noticed at all? However, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s words indeed left the old man speechless. When he married Du Meihong, he knew that Lu Yunxiao was against it, but he still did it. At that time, Lu Yunxiao¡¯s mother had just passed away. He couldn¡¯t accept that his father would marry another woman so quickly. Lu Guo¡¯an felt that since she was already dead, it was useless to struggle fearlessly. In addition, he still had feelings for Du Meihong at that time, so he married her. Now that Lu Yunxiao mentioned this, he was actually in the wrong. Even Du Meihong could not help but blush when she heard this. ¡°Erm¡­ Yunxiao, have a good chat with your father. There¡¯s ginseng soup in the kitchen. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± When Du Meihong heard this, she hurriedly fled. Lu Guo¡¯an was so angry that he was out of breath, but he could not deal with Lu Yunxiao. He knew his son¡¯s personality. He would not listen to advice, and hitting and scolding would be useless. ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s so bad about Bai Bing?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing bad about it. I just don¡¯t like her. If you like her, you can marry her.¡± ¡°You! What are you talking about?!¡± Lu Guo¡¯an was about to die of anger. His entire body trembled. ¡°Lu Yunxiao, don¡¯t you remember that Bai Bing¡¯s mother and your mother are very close?¡± ¡°Dad, I really don¡¯t want to hear you say that about my mother.¡± When Lu Yunxiao heard his father say that, he actually felt that it was ironic. ¡°I¡¯m thinking of you. Bai Bing is very outstanding. She¡¯s very compatible with you. What¡¯s the Jiang family? I don¡¯t like them. I don¡¯t agree.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also thinking of you. The person beside you isn¡¯t worthy of you. Why don¡¯t you split up?¡± ¡°Yunxiao!¡± Lu Guo¡¯an shouted his name angrily. ¡°I don¡¯t like people forcing me. Not even my father. I make my own decisions. No one interferes.¡± Lu Yunxiao was very determined. After saying that, he prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, he turned around. ¡°Also, there¡¯s one more thing. You¡¯re at a respected age now. Don¡¯t attack the younger generation.¡± With that, Lu Yunxiao left without looking back. He left very freely without any reluctance. ¡°Make yourself clear. What do you mean by talking to me like that?¡± It was useless no matter how Lu Guo¡¯an shouts. Lu Yunxiao was just so determined and did not give him a chance to say anything. After a while, Du Meihong came out with the ginseng soup. When she came out, Lu Yunxiao was already gone. ¡°Where¡¯s Yunxiao? I made him ginseng soup. Why don¡¯t I see him?¡± ¡°He¡¯s already left.¡± ¡°He left so quickly. He just came back not long ago!¡± Du Meihong pretended not to know anything. In fact, she had heard everything clearly just now. ¡°He¡¯s outrageous. I¡¯ve spoiled him too much.¡± ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Du Meihong put down the ginseng soup and walked to the back to massage Lu Guo¡¯an¡¯s shoulders. ¡°He said that I attacked a junior. How could that be?¡± When Du Meihong heard that, she couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous, but she didn¡¯t show it. ¡°Why did Yunxiao say that?¡± ¡°I wonder what happened to him. He actually suspects me. With my current identity, would I deal with a junior? Moreover, the Jiang family¡¯s status is not worth dealing with. They don¡¯t have that much influence..¡± Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Accurate Hits Chapter 148: Accurate Hits Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I don¡¯t think Yunxiao would say that for no reason, right? Could it be that Miss Jiang said something bad to Yunxiao that caused him to misunderstand you? I¡¯ve seen the news these few days, it¡¯s said that Yunxiao lent his car to Miss Jiang. From the looks of it, they¡¯re not ordinary.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t keep reading the news. Most of what it says is fake. Did you contact Bai Bing after dinner that day?¡± ¡°No, we rarely contact each other.¡± Du Meihong was obviously lying, but she had to be careful not to let Lu Guo¡¯an see anything. ¡°Take some time out and ask her out for a chat. Make her pay more attention to Yunxiao. No matter what, she has to snatch Yunxiao¡¯s heart back. Our Lu family can¡¯t marry a woman like the Jiang family¡¯s girl.¡± ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll do it.¡± ¡°Sigh! Chengbin doesn¡¯t seem to come here much recently. If there¡¯s nothing going on, let him visit!¡± Lu Guo¡¯an said, but Du Meihong was extremely nervous. He suddenly mentioned Du Chengbin. Could it be that he knew something? ¡°Alright, he has something to do recently, so he came less often,¡± Du Meihong explained. ¡°What is he busy with?¡± Lu Guo¡¯an asked. With this question, Du Meihong became even more nervous. A few days ago, she had just asked Du Chengbin to deal with Jiang Youyi, but nothing had happened to her. She was still fine. She was afraid that Lu Guo¡¯an would find out about this. If he did, her image in front of Lu Guo¡¯an would be completely ruined. ¡°He said he wanted to do KTV. It seems like the renovation has already started. Kids like to study these things.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to have something to do. It won¡¯t waste much money to open a KTV. If he lacks money, give him some, but you have to guarantee that he¡¯s doing a serious business. He can¡¯t break the law,¡± Lu Guo¡¯an reminded her. ¡°No, Chengbin is a sensible child. My brother and sister are also dutiful people. They taught him to be down-to-earth since he was young. He won¡¯t break the law.¡± ¡°Alright, let him do his best!¡± Du Meihong did not know why Lu Guo¡¯an suddenly mentioned Du Chengbin. She was a little nervous, so she sent Du Chengbin a WeChat message that night. However, Du Chengbin did not reply. Usually, he would accompany his lovers at night. How could he have the time to look at his phone?! When Jiang Youyi returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, she saw that her phone was flashing. It seemed like someone had sent her a WeChat message. Then, she picked up her phone and sat on the bed to take a look. It was from Lin Feng. [Lin Feng: Jiang Youyi, is Jiang Youyi here?] [Lin Feng: Reply after seeing it.] [Lin Feng: Why aren¡¯t you replying to me?] [Jiang Youyi: What¡¯s wrong?] [Lin Feng: Oh my god, you finally replied to me. I¡¯m going to be on fire.] ]Jiang Youyi: What fire?] [Lin Feng: Something happened to me. I¡¯m on the trending searches. Fourth place, save me quickly.] [Jiang Youyi: Tell me in detail. I didn¡¯t scroll through Weibo today.] [Lin Feng: !!!] [Lin Feng: Alright! I¡¯ll tell you in detail.] Then, Lin Feng told Jiang Youyi what happened with Lin Meirao. Just as Jiang Youyi had requested, he said it very carefully. Then, he said that he was in a difficult situation and did not dare to go home or go out. Wang Jiangbei and Lu Yunxiao would not help him. [Jiang Youyi: But you should have found a professional to help you! Why me?] [Lin Feng: Brother Lu asked me to look for you. He said that you have a lot of evil ideas. No, no. He said that you are smart and will definitely be able to solve it.] [Jiang Youyi: ???] [Lin Feng: You know that the person I like has always been your sister. I have a scandal with that woman. How can I woo your sister? Also, on account of how I protected you at the banquet, shouldn¡¯t you help me now that I¡¯m in trouble?] Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Indeed, Lin Feng had helped her a lot and was someone she could befriend. [Jiang Youyi: Wait a moment. I¡¯ll send you a message later.] After about eight or nine minutes, Jiang Youyi sent a few photos to Lin Feng on WeChat. They were very clear. [Lin Feng: As expected, Jiang Youyi! You can even get this.] [Jiang Youyi: I think these photos are enough to solve your problem. Since she wants to create hype with you, but she¡¯s meeting someone else at night at the same time, isn¡¯t that a little bad? Go to the media and release these photos. I think the public will naturally know what¡¯s going on. Since she has evil intentions, she can¡¯t blame us for being ruthless.] [Lin Feng: I knew I was right to look for you. I can rest assured now.] [Jiang Youyi: You¡¯re too kind. If such a thing happens again in the future, just look for me. I have accurate hits.] [Lin Feng: Thank you so much. After I deal with this woman, I¡¯ll treat you to delicious food.] [Jiang Youyi: Why are you being so polite? Just take it that I¡¯m repaying you.] After settling this matter, Jiang Youyi fell asleep peacefully.. Chapter 149 - Chapter 149: Same Model? Chapter 149: Same Model? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations However, on the other side, Wu Chen could not fall asleep no matter what. There were many women around him, and there was no lack of beauties around him. He was even more powerful than Xu Yuning. At most, Xu Yuning would never reject a woman who threw herself at him. However, Wu Chen was the kind of person who took the initiative. Be it a married, divorced, or a university student, as long as he wanted it, he could get it no matter what method he used. Bi Sijie came to accompany Wu Chen tonight. She rarely came, but that did not mean that she would not come back. It was a marriage set by the family, and both families approved of them. Therefore, even if Wu Chen didn¡¯t like her, he wouldn¡¯t reject her. However, that was all in the past! ¡°Chen, what are you thinking about?¡± After taking a shower, Bi Sijie wrapped herself in a light blue towel and gracefully walked to Wu Chen¡¯s side. When she saw Wu Chen lying on the bed in deep thought, she kissed Wu Chen¡¯s face as she asked. In the end, Wu Chen dodged it. Bi Sijie was stunned. She knew a little about the women outside, but no matter how much Wu Chen played outside, he would not refuse to be intimate with her. What was going on today? What she didn¡¯t know was that Wu Chen was thinking about Jiang Youyi all the time. For some reason, Jiang Youyi¡¯s face often appeared in his mind. On the day of the banquet, he had planned to interact with Jiang Youyi properly, but he did not interact much with her for the entire night. He knew that Lu Yunxiao might have taken a fancy to Jiang Youyi. However, he couldn¡¯t care less. He couldn¡¯t control himself now. He also wanted to be with Jiang Youyi. Then, Wu Chen sent a WeChat message to his subordinates. No matter what, he had to get close to Jiang Youyi. Important things to say three times: I want to get in touch with Jiang Youyi, I want to get in touch with Jiang Youyi, I want to get in touch with Jiang Youyi!! That night, Wu Chen did not have sex with Bi Sijie and left her alone. He was only thinking about Jiang Youyi. Although he had a lot of money and had obtained many women, for some reason, he had an obsession with Jiang Youyi. Perhaps it was because Jiang Youyi had never taken him seriously. Therefore, what he couldn¡¯t get was always the best. The next morning, the Jiang family was as warm as usual. The family sat together for breakfast. ¡°Are you still going out today?¡± ¡°Yes! What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Youyi swallowed the sweet porridge in her mouth and looked at Jiang Nian. ¡°I talked to your sister-in-law last night and thought that the car you¡¯re driving now is a little too old.¡± ¡°And?¡± ¡°And I wanted to buy you a new car. Although we can¡¯t compare to the Xu and Lu families, I can still buy you a decent car. I can¡¯t always let you go out in such a shabby state.¡± Jiang Nian was aloof and rarely gave gifts to his family, including his parents, let alone Jiang Youyi. When Jiang Youyi heard that Jiang Nian was going to buy her a car, she couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. ¡°Brother, if you have something to ask of me, just say it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not begging you for anything. I just want to give you a car. If you don¡¯t like it, I won¡¯t give it to you.¡± ¡°I like it, I like it, I like it very much.¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t waste such a good opportunity. How could she not want a free car? ¡°As long as you like it. Your brother rarely gives gifts. You have to seize the opportunity,¡± Mrs. Jiang reminded her at once. ¡°Of course, I have to seize the opportunity. I can¡¯t let it go.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled sweetly. ¡°Your brother won¡¯t give you a Chery, right?¡± Jiang Yunfei had always been calm. He did not expect that there would be times when he would tease Jiang Youyi. Mrs. Jiang and Wang Yuqing covered their mouths and laughed. ¡°Chery it is. As long as it¡¯s new, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not the one spending money. I¡¯m willing to accept it.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t care so much. Jiang Nian smiled, thinking that his sister was really greedy. Not only was she greedy, but she was also a miser, the kind that could not bear to spend money on him. Then, Jiang Nian threw the car keys in front of Jiang Youyi. Jiang Youyi looked at it. ¡°Same model?¡± Wasn¡¯t her brother too boring? She used to drive an Audi, and now he was giving her an Audi. Sigh! She wasn¡¯t as happy as she was at the beginning. Jiang Nian¡¯s car was a BMW X6, while Wang Yuqing drove a red Cayenne. Her sister, Jiang Youtian, drove a nanny car with a driver. Because she had to bring her assistant, manager, and makeup artist every time she went out, she had to use that. Jiang Youtian also had her own private car, but she did not drive it often. Moreover, that car was in the capital now. With Jiang Youtian¡¯s status in the entertainment industry, she was already in the capital, so she rarely went home.. Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Creating a Chance Encounter Chapter 150: Creating a Chance Encounter Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°It¡¯s a sports car,¡± Wang Yuqing reminded her. ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Youyi was surprised and delighted. ¡°Of course. You¡¯re my biological sister, so of course I¡¯m giving you the best.¡± As Jiang Nian spoke, he knocked Jiang Youyi¡¯s head. ¡°Really, why are you so good to me? I¡¯ll be touched.¡± Jiang Youyi made an embarrassed expression, but she was actually overjoyed. Following Jiang Nian¡¯s gaze, she actually saw an Audi R8. It was the type that Jiang Youyi had always liked. Actually, she had wanted to get it for a long time, but she had never had the time. Her family thought that she didn¡¯t have that much money and couldn¡¯t afford it, so Jiang Nian gave it to her. But in fact¡­ Forget it! Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. The entire family is happy now. Why is she talking about those useless things? ¡°Don¡¯t just be touched. Try it after breakfast and see how it feels.¡± Jiang Nian reminded her. ¡°I feel that it must be good. This is a car my brother bought for me. Others might not feel so good.¡± Jiang Youyi chuckled happily. Jiang Youyi had returned from overseas for a long time, but she often went out to play and did not stay at home. Her family did not have much feelings for her. However, ever since she broke up with Xu Yuning, her family had started to care about her. Perhaps they felt that she would feel uncomfortable after breaking up with Xu Yuning, so they took special care of her. Furthermore, she was the youngest in the family. It was only right for her to receive more care. In the end, it was because she performed very well at the banquet and didn¡¯t embarrass the Jiang family. She even earned honor. Her family admired her, so they naturally had to treat her better because she was worth it. Sometimes, it was like this. Whether the people around you treated you well or not often stemmed from you. Just like Jiang Youyi, how could her family bear to let her suffer? You¡¯re a housewife. You can¡¯t live a decent life. As a helper, you have to be responsible for buying groceries and cooking. If you were insensible, naturally, no one would like you. Seeing that Jiang Youyi was happy, Jiang Nian couldn¡¯t help but tease her. ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Two million yuan is gone just like that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll give you some reimbursement.¡± ¡°How much?¡± ¡°Tens of thousands! And it¡¯s in installments. I can¡¯t give it all at once.¡± Jiang Youyi was also amused. ¡°Alright, alright. I admit that I¡¯m unlucky.¡± Jiang Nian waved his hand. ¡°But¡­ Brother, I¡¯m so confused! This is just the New Year. Why did you give me a car?¡± Jiang Nian could not help but sigh. ¡°I just don¡¯t want others to look down on you.¡± Wang Yuqing continued, ¡°Originally, your brother rarely paid attention to entertainment news, but because of you, he¡¯s been watching it often recently. There¡¯s a group of people who always say that our family is small and shabby. They say that the car you drive is unpopular. Moreover, your brother heard that you were also mocked for being shabby at the banquet. He¡¯s very upset.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t listen to them. They don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°It¡¯s another matter if they understand or not. In any case, I can¡¯t let you be so shabby. Don¡¯t drive the old model in the past. I¡¯ve already asked your sister-in-law to sell it in a 4.S shop. You can drive this sports car now. Although we¡¯re not rich, we can¡¯t be disgraced as members of the Jiang family. No matter who is managing the family matters, we can¡¯t let you or your second sister suffer. Even if my son inherits the family business in the future, we can¡¯t mistreat you.¡± ¡°Does Sister have one too?¡± Jiang Youyi asked tentatively with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about your sister. She has plenty of money and can¡¯t use more. Just worry about yourself,¡± Jiang Nian reminded her. Mrs. Jiang nodded in agreement. ¡°You can drive this car at your age. Aren¡¯t you going to start a business? You definitely have to meet people. If you don¡¯t drive a good car, others will look down on you. Also, Mrs. Xu was so domineering previously. Fortunately, you didn¡¯t marry Xu Yuning. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what kind of life you¡¯ll be living now.¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t mention the Xu family. I¡¯m eating now! Otherwise, I¡¯ll vomit easily.¡± She didn¡¯t want to hear the name she hated so early in the morning, so she hurriedly stopped Mrs. Jiang. ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law, you¡¯re the best!¡± Jiang Youyi received the car and hurriedly flattered them. This was a car that cost more than two million yuan. Even her sister-in-law did not drive such an expensive car. Then, the family went out one by one. Jiang Youyi was the last to go out. She drove her new car and prepared to try the feeling of driving a sports car on the road. At the same time, Wu Chen¡¯s subordinate called Wu Chen. ¡°Boss Wu, Boss Wu, Jiang Youyi drove out in an Audi.. Where are we going to create a chance encounter?¡± Chapter 151 - Chapter 151: Tailgate Chapter 151: Tailgate Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Whatever. The sooner the better.¡± Wu Chen had just woken up and had yet to eat breakfast. He was preparing to go to the company. ¡°President Wu, let¡¯s go to the intersection of Yuexi Road and Qinglin Street. There are fewer cars and people there, so it¡¯s easier to operate.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Wu Chen¡¯s car was an extremely arrogant Cullinan. It was extremely domineering. It was also a car that many young tycoons in Ocean City liked in recent years. He personally drove towards Yuexi Road, which was arranged by his subordinates. Jiang Youyi was going to the White Swan Beauty Salon, so she had to pass by this place. Driving her new car and playing her little song, she was originally in an extremely high mood. However, when she was waiting for a red light, she suddenly felt a sudden bump. Oh no, was she being rear-ended? Jiang Youyi turned around in surprise and immediately saw the man driving the black Cullinan. She narrowed her eyes¡­ and immediately recognized this person. ¡°This is crazy. It¡¯s my new car,¡± Jiang Youyi complained. The next second, she saw Wu Chen open the door and get out of the car with a smile. Jiang Youyi was quick-witted. She immediately opened the car door, put on her mask, and ran. Wu Chen:¡±¡­¡± He had already prepared his opening speech. He had planned to say, ¡°What a coincidence, we meet again, Jiang Youyi.¡± In the end, he never expected this woman to run away under his affectionate gaze. As a result, when he walked to Jiang Youyi¡¯s car, she was nowhere to be seen. This was too awesome. Wu Chen:¡±???¡± There happened to be traffic police on duty nearby, so they hurried over to check. In Ocean City, almost no traffic police officers didn¡¯t know Wu Chen. It was the same as seeing Lu Yunxiao. They first saluted and then said very politely, ¡°Boss Wu, which one is your car?¡± ¡°Culinan at the back.¡± ¡°Then¡­ you rear-ended the car?¡± The traffic police were a little flustered. ¡°Yes, I rear-ended it. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± ¡°What about the Audi owner?¡± ¡°She ran away.¡± Wu Chen held his breath and gritted his teeth. ¡°She ran away? She¡¯s not fully responsible. Why did she run away?¡± The traffic police was dumbfounded. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because¡­ the female driver was in an accident and was panicking.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Many new female drivers are like this. Boss Wu, how do you want to deal with this matter?¡± The traffic police¡¯s meaning was obvious. As long as Wu Chen did not want to take responsibility, they had a way to push the responsibility to the other party. Anyway, the other party was not around and had run away. ¡°I¡¯ll take full responsibility. I want to settle this privately. Contact the car owner and call her.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no phone in the car.¡± The traffic police walked around and sighed. This Audi was almost the first in Ocean City because this car was limited in the country and was very difficult to buy. Unfortunately, it was rear-ended. ¡°Go ahead. I have it.¡± When Wu Chen handed over a small piece of paper, the traffic police were stunned. He even suspected that Young Master Wu had a grudge against the owner of the Audi and deliberately bumped into them. The call lasted for more than a minute. After the traffic police hung up, his expression changed slightly. ¡°What did she say?¡± Wu Chen¡¯s face was full of anticipation. ¡°This¡­¡± The traffic police officer was very embarrassed. He didn¡¯t know what to say. If he said it, it wouldn¡¯t end well. ¡°Tell me the truth. You don¡¯t have to hide it from me.¡± To be honest, ever since he found out about Jiang Youyi, he had been very interested in this person. Ever since the day she broke off the engagement, the things that happened to her had always been very metaphysical. You never knew what she would do in the next second. Wu Chen, who came from a wealthy family, had not felt such anticipation for a long time. He was even a little excited about how Jiang Youyi would handle this matter after she ran away. ¡°The owner of the Audi said that she was at the nearby Yuexi Road police station and called the police.¡± ¡°What can the police do about this? Isn¡¯t it under the jurisdiction of the traffic police?¡± Wu Chen didn¡¯t quite understand. ¡°Yes, the traffic accident is ours, but the rest is not ours.¡± ¡°What else are you talking about?¡± Wu Chen could tell that something was amiss. ¡°She said¡­ when she was waiting for a red light, she felt your car hit her very hard. Seeing that you didn¡¯t wear blind sunglasses, you don¡¯t look like a blind person. She suspected that you were driving a drug car in broad daylight.¡± ¡°What?¡± Wu Chen almost thought that he had misheard. ¡°The current situation of the Audi owner is that he suspects you of drug trafficking.¡± ¡°This is too ridiculous. Even if it¡¯s a drunk driver, you can¡¯t suspect a drug driver.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I find it unbelievable too, but the car owner insisted and even went to the nearby police station to report you. She said that she wanted to wait for you to take the test before discussing the follow-up matters with you.¡± As soon as the traffic police officer finished speaking, he saw a police car roaring over and stopping beside Wu Chen. ¡°Boss Wu, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you to come with us. A lady said that you just rear-ended her and suspected that you were driving a drug car. She had a good reason, so we had no choice but to come. In order to prove your innocence, you still have to trouble yourself to come with us.¡± The people at the Yuexi Road police station were also very polite, but someone reported it with their real name, so they had no choice but to come.. Chapter 152 - Chapter 152: Drug Driving? Chapter 152: Drug Driving? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Wu Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He really didn¡¯t expect this¡­ It could really shock him for an entire year. I only tailgated you, but you¡¯re defaming me for driving a drug car? This Jiang Youyi¡­ is something. Wu Chen even felt that if he went to the police station, Jiang Youyi would probably have run away long ago. If she reported him for drug driving, could she still wait for him there? She would definitely send a lawyer to negotiate the follow-up. But this time, he was wrong again. The moment he entered, he saw Jiang Youyi languidly playing with her phone. Seeing Wu Chen enter, Jiang Youyi actually stood up and smiled. ¡°I thought I saw wrongly just now. Is it really you, Boss Wu?¡± ¡°You still remember me?¡± Wu Chen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Of course. Who wouldn¡¯t know the young and promising Boss Wu of Xinglong Real Estate?¡± To be honest, Jiang Youyi¡¯s words made Wu Chen overjoyed. At this moment, the police officer also spoke appropriately to be the peacemaker. ¡°Since the two of you know each other, it¡¯s easier to do. You can discuss first. I¡¯ll get you a glass of water.¡± ¡°I heard that you reported me for drug driving?¡± Wu Chen directly denounced her, feeling a little unhappy. ¡°Aiya, I thought I was wrong at that time. If I knew it was you, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have. It¡¯s really fate. We met at the banquet and met again today. Nice to meet you, Boss Wu.¡± Jiang Youyi reached out her chubby hand. As the saying goes, don¡¯t hit a smiling person. Since Jiang Youyi was so enthusiastic about him, most of Wu Chen¡¯s anger had dissipated. He felt that women admired the strong. It seemed that Jiang Youyi was just like other women. She knew that he was Wu Chen and took the initiative. Wu Chen also reached out and shook Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand gently. He even rubbed his palms together in an obscene manner, but Jiang Youyi¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. It was as if she couldn¡¯t tell that he was teasing her. She didn¡¯t look angry either. ¡°In that case, I don¡¯t have to cooperate with the drug test, right?¡± Wu Chen looked at his watch. It was almost time for the morning meeting. ¡°That won¡¯t do. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to, but after I report it with my real name, the police have to deal with it seriously. I know you won¡¯t be that kind of person, but a drug test can prove your innocence, right? You can also give me an explanation and the police an explanation.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Wu Chen was slightly annoyed. ¡°You¡¯re not afraid of the drug test, are you?¡± Jiang Youyi provoked him slightly, and Wu Chen couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. I know myself very well. With my status, I won¡¯t do that kind of thing. Come on, let¡¯s test it. Anyway, you¡¯ll all see. But let me tell you, Jiang Youyi, if the drug test proves that I¡¯m fine, you¡¯re framing me. Not only do you have to apologize to me, but your subsequent repair fees¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Boss Wu. If you¡¯re really fine, I¡¯m naturally overthinking. How can I repair the car? I¡¯ll bear the responsibility myself.¡± Hearing Jiang Youyi¡¯s words, Wu Chen became even more smug and snorted. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s begin. My time is precious. Hurry up.¡± Ten minutes later. ¡°Boss Wu¡­ your¡­ your test results show that¡­ you¡¯re indeed driving while on drugs.¡± The young policeman who spoke was so frightened that his voice trembled. However, with Jiang Youyi here, they didn¡¯t dare to cover up or lie. Once the lie was discovered, everyone in the police station would want to go home and sell roasted sweet potatoes. ¡°What did you say?¡± Wu Chen gritted his teeth. To be honest, after hearing the young policeman¡¯s words, he felt like cracking up. ¡°Boss Wu, the results of the examination are indeed like this.¡± ¡°Call your leader over.¡± Wu Chen was furious. Soon, the director came out and greeted Wu Chen politely, ¡°Boss Wu.¡± ¡°How do your subordinates do things?¡± Wu Chen scolded without caring about his image as a businessman. ¡°I understand all about this. To be on the safe side, we¡¯re willing to examine you again.¡± ¡°Do I have the time to play with you?¡± Wu Chen was furious. ¡°How about this, Boss Wu, can you let the people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau come? If you have someone you¡¯re familiar with, you can ask the person you believe. Everyone is present, so the inspection will definitely not be wrong.¡± Wu Chen was holding his breath. He hadn¡¯t even had breakfast, but the drug had already been detected. It was ridiculous. With a dark expression, he took out his phone and made a call. ¡°Bring a specialist who can check for drug driving. Yes, Yuexi Road Police Station. Be quick.¡± Wu Chen had found his own people. He was afraid that this small police station was closely related to Jiang Youyi. Not long after, the person Wu Chen had found himself arrived. He was indeed from the municipal bureau, and his official position was not small. The chief of the Yuexi Road police station was also polite to him. He lit a cigarette and poured water. However, the results of the drug test shocked everyone again.. Chapter 153 - Chapter 153:1 Dont Need You to Teach Me Chapter 153:1 Don¡¯t Need You to Teach Me Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Boss Wu, the results are out. It¡¯s indeed drug driving.¡± ¡°How is that possible? If I was really¡­ Why would I walk into a trap and look for you? I asked you to verify my identity, not to be framed.¡± At the mention of framing, Wu Chen suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Youyi. She was still sitting there playing games on her phone as if nothing had happened, as if she was watching a show. ¡°Miss Jiang.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Youyi immediately stood up when she heard someone call her. Only then did everyone notice the owner of the Audi, who had a very low presence. ¡°Miss Jiang, it¡¯s very strange. I didn¡¯t even eat breakfast this morning. It¡¯s impossible to detect drugs from the blood concentration, but I did shake your hand just now.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned. ¡°With my status, it¡¯s inevitable that someone will attack me and frame me,¡± Wu Chen deliberately said mysteriously. ¡°That can¡¯t be, Boss Wu, there¡¯s no enmity between us. Why would I harm you?¡± ¡°Is there really no enmity between us?¡± Wu Chen suddenly thought of the bet and the eight million yuan he had lost. ¡°If there¡¯s any grievance, it¡¯s because you hit my car today. I¡¯m unhappy. But this is human nature. This is my first day driving. Although it¡¯s not as expensive as yours, it¡¯s a new car. I was quietly waiting for the red light there, and you rushed over like a crazy cow seeing a red veil. Now, my car broke down. So it¡¯s human nature for me to blame you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t beat around the bush. Jiang Youyi, I¡¯ll be direct.¡± ¡°Go ahead, Boss Wu. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled. ¡°Jiang Youyi, I know you¡¯re smart and scheming, so I suspect that you contaminated my palm with some contraband when you shook hands with me just now. That¡¯s why my test came back positive.¡± ¡°Aiyo, according to what you said, I¡¯m a clairvoyant. I knew before I left that your car was going to hit me? Then I even prepared contraband and had to shake your hand? Then I¡¯m really smart.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s sarcasm made Wu Chen¡¯s words untenable. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Wu Chen was deliberately looking for trouble. No matter how bad the young lady was, she wouldn¡¯t be able to calculate that her car was going to crash. Moreover, what could detect a drug driver just by holding his hand? Was it too mysterious? Had it exceeded her cognitive range? However, Wu Chen was not stupid. He knew his own situation the best. He had never touched those things, so how could he find out about the drug driving? The only thing that was wrong was shaking Jiang Youyi¡¯s hand. Moreover, Jiang Youyi had been very enthusiastic at that time. Wu Chen was born into a wealthy family, and his mother was also a mistress. Hence, he was not an easy person to deceive. He glared at Jiang Youyi. ¡°It¡¯s useless to say too much.¡± ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Jiang Youyi crossed her arms and raised her chin provocatively. ¡°I¡¯m asking you to go for a drug test immediately. If you have the same result, it proves that you did something to frame me.¡± ¡°Mister, you have to be clear about one thing. The reason why I reported you for drug driving was because you hit my car in broad daylight and came to tailgate me as if you were blind. That¡¯s why I suspected you. So I have reason to suspect you. What about you? You tailgated me and even suspected me of drug driving. What kind of logic is this?¡± Wu Chen was confused by Jiang Youyi¡¯s question. Not only did this woman have a good mouth, but her logical thinking was also clear. It was difficult for ordinary people to have something on her. Even the people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau that Wu Chen hired felt that it was obvious that Wu Chen was bullying the young lady. Therefore, he leaned into Wu Chen¡¯s ear and said, ¡°Boss Wu, I think we should just forget about this matter, right? You don¡¯t have to worry about the drug driving matter. I can settle it. Just be nice and fix her car. You don¡¯t have to spend money since there¡¯s insurance. Everything else is nothing. After all, you¡¯re in the wrong. It won¡¯t be good for you if this blows up.¡± Of course, it was because this guy from the Municipal Public Security Bureau was wholeheartedly concerned about Wu Chen¡¯s well-being that he persuaded him nicely. And yet, Wu Chen felt that there was something fishy about Jiang Youyi. He was even certain that the problem lay in Jiang Youyi¡¯s hands. She had tampered with his handshake. If he checked now, he would definitely be able to find something fishy. If he let Jiang Youyi go, he would not have the chance in the future. He would even be labeled as a drug driver. He had never been at a disadvantage before. Previously, he had suffered a few small losses under Lu Yunxiao and had always fought back crazily. He could not sleep at night and had to deal with the Qihe Corporation. Now that he had been wronged, what else could he do? Did he care about the repair money? He held his anger. ¡°I know what to do. You don¡¯t have to teach me..¡¯ Chapter 154 - Chapter 154: But Shes Jiang Youyi Chapter 154: But She¡¯s Jiang Youyi Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations His words rendered his own people speechless. That person took a step back in embarrassment and did not say anything else. Wu Chen looked at Jiang Youyi and sneered. ¡°Jiang Youyi, if you¡¯re innocent, why don¡¯t you dare?¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite quick to learn from a parrot, but it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t dare to. I¡¯m just giving you a piece of advice. When I reported you for drug driving just now, I promised that if you were innocent, it meant that I framed you and had to repair my own car. And now, you kept saying that I was also involved in drug driving and dragged me down with you. Then let me ask you, if my results came back negative, what do you plan to use to compensate for damage done? My car was hit and I¡¯m already the victim. Now, you¡¯re still injuring me a second time?¡± Wu Chen was silent for a few seconds before asking her, ¡°How much is your car?¡± ¡°About 1.45 million. There¡¯s an invoice.¡± Jiang Youyi remembered that this should be what her brother was talking about. ¡°Okay. If your drug-driving check shows you¡¯re innocent, I won¡¯t fix your car, and I won¡¯t take insurance. I¡¯ll pay you for a new car, and you can pick up a new one. How does that sound?¡± ¡°Then you have to keep the old car for me too.¡± Jiang Youyi pushed her luck. ¡°Sure.¡± Wu Chen was certain that there was something fishy about Jiang Youyi, so at this juncture, he would agree to whatever she said. Jiang Youyi smiled. ¡°Deal.¡± The two of them bickered, causing the people from the municipal bureau and Yuexi Road police station to be dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t it just a simple traffic accident? Now, it was like a criminal case. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, good. Then let¡¯s begin. You guys go and check carefully.¡± Wu Chen turned around and instructed the group of people he had called over. He was more at ease with the group he had brought. ¡°Alright, Boss Wu. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Check Miss Jiang¡¯s right hand and palm carefully, understand?¡± Wu Chen meant to take the blood sample directly from Jiang Youyi¡¯s palm. If there was really something fishy, it was naturally impossible to dissolve the remaining poison in such a short period of time. He even specially instructed them not to make any mistakes. How could the inspector used by the municipal bureau make a mistake? There were only two results for this test. It was either negative or positive. There was no third. Fifteen minutes later, the inspector walked out. ¡°Boss Wu, Miss Jiang¡¯s results are out.¡± ¡°How is it?¡± There was a little excitement in Wu Chen¡¯s voice. ¡°It¡¯s negative.¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± Wu Chen was dumbfounded again. Jiang Youyi smiled. ¡°Boss Wu is quite an interesting person. As long as the actual test results don¡¯t match his expectations, he¡¯s not in a good state.¡± ¡°Do you check it properly?¡± Wu Chen did not give up. He grabbed the inspector¡¯s collar roughly. ¡°I¡­ I did. Boss Wu, I did the blood test on Miss Jiang¡¯s right palm according to your instructions. I did a comparison analysis three times. It¡¯s indeed negative.¡± ¡°Boss Wu, my car fare¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get the financial contact to call you later. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t. It¡¯s too troublesome. Just give it to me now. I think the phone bank is quite convenient.¡± What Jiang Youyi meant was to strike while the iron was hot to prevent any accidents from happening. In front of so many people, if Wu Chen didn¡¯t give it to her, he would be shamed. She opened the bank on her phone and the two of them finished transferring in front of everyone. Jiang Youyi received a notification from her bank account¡ªyour xx bank account number is xxxx. You have received a transfer of 100,000 yuan. Jiang Youyi smiled. ¡°Thankyou, Boss Wu.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome,¡± Wu Chen said through gritted teeth. ¡°Jiang Youyi, we¡¯ll meet again.¡± Wu Chen¡¯s words made it clear that this matter was not over. Everyone present was worried for the little girl. There was even a new police officer on Yuexi Road. Seeing that Jiang Youyi was young and innocent, he deliberately persuaded her kindly, ¡°Why don¡¯t we let him repair your car? It¡¯s better to resolve enmity than to keep it. Do you know who that person is? He¡¯s the young master of Xinglong Real Estate, one of the three top wealthy families in Ocean City. We can¡¯t afford to provoke him. Even if you drive an Audi sports car, you¡¯re not on the same level as him.¡± ¡°Thank you, little brother, but I think that a man¡¯s words are the most precious virtue.¡± Jiang Youyi was quite grateful to the young policeman. After all, he was afraid that she would be in trouble after offending Wu Chen. But she was Jiang Youyi. After settling this matter, Jiang Youyi was in a much better mood. Originally, according to the traffic laws, Wu Chen only needed to repair the car. He didn¡¯t have to bear the responsibility personally. The insurance company would compensate him. However, he just had to be strong. This man who had been strong his entire life. It was early in the morning, and Wu Chen¡¯s good mood was shattered. Originally, he wanted to use a tailgating method to meet Jiang Youyi by chance and ask her out for lunch. Unexpectedly, things ended up like this. The beauty took his 1,450,000 yuan and ran away. The car was also driven away.. Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: The Wicked Will Be Tortured by the Wicked Chapter 155: The Wicked Will Be Tortured by the Wicked Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At that time, he didn¡¯t use much strength, so it didn¡¯t cost much to repair it. He had spent more than a million yuan on something that could be solved with a hundred or twenty thousand yuan. Why did he feel so aggrieved? ¡°Boss Wu, everything is settled here. You can leave now.¡± Wu Chen left the Yuexi Road police station with a heavy heart and drove to the company. Unexpectedly, something big happened the moment he returned to the company. ¡°Boss Wu, you¡¯re finally here. The old chairman has lost his temper and wants you to go over.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wu Chen was stunned. ¡°Aiya, you¡¯ll know when you get there.¡± Wu Chen¡¯s female assistant¡¯s footsteps were very flustered. Even her small hand that was holding the document was trembling slightly. Wu Chen strode toward the chairman¡¯s office. In fact, the older generation of several families had all taken the position of chairman. However, the degree of delegation of power was different. The Qin family of Qihe Corporation was Lu Yunxiao¡¯s family. Old Man Qin rarely took care of things. He handed everything to his son. The chairman was just in name. However, the old men of the other two families were obviously still in charge. Wu Chen and Xu Yuning were not in power. The old man still had to take care of important matters. Therefore, when Wu Chen entered the chairman¡¯s office, a teacup flew towards him. If he hadn¡¯t reacted quickly and dodged in time, his face would probably explode on the spot. The sound of the cup falling to the ground resounded throughout the office. ¡°Dad, why are you so angry so early in the morning?¡± Wu Chen walked in with a smile and even bent down to pick up the fragments on the ground. ¡°Look at what you¡¯ve done.¡± Old Wu threw a tablet computer on the wide desk. Wu Chen picked it up and looked at it. His head hurt. Today¡¯s financial headline¡ªSuspected to be the young master of Xinglong Real Estate drug driving and tailgating Ocean City¡¯s citizens. Not only did this matter alarm the police station in the area under the jurisdiction of the traffic police, but it also alarmed the city bureau. But he had clearly called the people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau to prove his innocence. Was this considered shooting themselves in the foot? ¡°This¡­¡± Wu Chen did not expect that the incident in the morning was not over at all. It directly made the headlines. Judging from the release time, it was 15 minutes ago. At that time, he was driving on the road. This timing was really precise. His first reaction was Jiang Youyi. ¡°Dad, I didn¡¯t do drugs because I didn¡¯t do it, so I was wronged. Someone wanted to mess with me. The person who was rear-ended wasn¡¯t a citizen of Ocean City at all. She was¡­¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Old Wu scolded, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be thinking about who to blame now, instead, you should think about how to deal with the aftermath. Do you know how much your news will affect our corporation? Look, three minutes ago, our Xinglong Real Estate¡¯s shares have been falling! My phone is about to explode from the shareholders¡¯ calls. I¡¯m already so old, but I still have to clean up your mess. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s embarrassing?¡± ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll deal with it right away.¡± It was already a light punishment for Wu Chen to be scolded. This kind of negative news was the worst as it would cause a series of reactions. This kind of thing likes to spread rumors. If they did not control the public opinion, they might write something. He was not even in the mood to call Jiang Youyi and question her. On the other side, Jiang Youyi received a call from Lin Feng, inviting her to a private restaurant under her family. Jiang Youyi looked at the time. It was almost noon. It was indeed exhausting to argue with Wu for an entire morning at the police station. Jiang Youyi drove over. She just didn¡¯t expect to see a familiar figure following her up as soon as she entered the private room on the second floor. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Youyi looked at Lu Yunxiao. ¡°Ah Feng said to treat you to Ocean City¡¯s white fish,¡± a certain big shot said casually. ¡°So he¡¯s not treating me alone?¡± Jiang Youyi pouted. Lin Feng and Wang Jiangbei entered the private room as well. ¡°Jiang Youyi, thank you for yesterday¡¯s matter. It¡¯s settled. Hahaha, that woman is ruined now. No one is paying attention to our news anymore. My old man didn¡¯t ask me either. Looks like this matter is over.¡± Lin Feng was in a good mood. Jiang Youyi¡¯s dirty move was indeed dirty. She defeated the enemy in one move. ¡°See, Xiao told you to look for Jiang Youyi, right?¡± Wang Jiangbei sighed. Jiang Youyi immediately realized that something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu Yunxiao. ¡°You asked him to look for me? You¡¯re quite good.¡± Lu Yunxiao calmly poured himself a cup of jasmine tea. ¡°The wicked will be punished by the wicked.¡± ¡°What do you mean? Are you mocking me? Am I an evil person? You¡¯re the number one capitalist in Ocean City, and you have the cheek to say that I¡¯m an evil person? You¡¯re so kind, why don¡¯t you go to the northwest to teach? What kind of president are you?¡± ¡°Aiya, stop arguing. It¡¯s rare for us to meet..¡± Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: Im Unlucky Chapter 156: I¡¯m Unlucky Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°It¡¯s not difficult at all. We just met yesterday.¡± Lu Yunxiao secretly showed off. ¡°Stop. You¡¯re not allowed to show off your love. Can you consider us single dogs? Be kinder.¡± Lin Feng threw a few dishes over. ¡°Ocean City¡¯s white fish has been arranged. See if there¡¯s anything else you want to eat.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, don¡¯t stand on ceremony with this rich kid. You¡¯ve helped him solve a big problem. He should treat you to a good meal.¡± Wang Jiangbei looked at Jiang Youyi and smiled, hinting that she could rip Lin Feng off. Jiang Youyi only smiled faintly and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Brothers, something big happened to Wu Chen. Do you know? Hahaha, this bastard tailgated an Ocean City¡¯s citizen. In the end, he was reported by the citizen as a drug driver. Now, he¡¯s all over the place. When this news came out, Xinglong Real Estate exploded. There was no time for public relations. They¡¯re looking for someone to delete the malicious comments. I heard that the stocks have started to fall. Should we take the opportunity to buy some?¡± Lin Feng said excitedly. ¡°Wu Chen has always been arrogant. Even if he¡¯s unlucky, it¡¯s his retribution.¡± Wang Jiangbei¡¯s family was also a real estate company and was considered a competitor to Xinglong Real Estate. They were both real estate developers, and Wang Jiangbei couldn¡¯t stand the way the Wu family did things. He raised a group of hooligans and forced them to demolition. He felt that even the heavens couldn¡¯t stand it, so he thought that Wu Chen deserved it. Wu Chen¡¯s father was not a good person. Naturally, his son would only become worse. ¡°Brother Lu, are you happy? Wu Chen has always liked to go against you. Now that something has happened, shouldn¡¯t you have a drink to celebrate?¡± Lu Yunxiao looked at Jiang Youyi beside him. ¡°What do you think about this? Citizen of Ocean City?¡± ¡°Cough, cough, cough, cough¡­¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. Wang Jiangbei and Lin Feng were stunned. Then, the two witty people finally understood what was going on. ¡°Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. I¡¯m stunned. The one Wu Chen tailgated was you.¡± Lin Feng was dumbfounded. ¡°Ha, I¡¯m the unlucky one.¡± ¡°Fuck, I knew it. How could an ordinary citizen have such power to make Wu Chen fall? If it were anyone else, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to cause any trouble. I didn¡¯t expect you to report it and let him do a drug test.¡± ¡°I was hit. Shouldn¡¯t I protect my legal rights and interests? He¡¯s blind and directly attacked me in broad daylight. Then I have to have a reason to suspect that he was drug driving.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you suspect that he was drunk driving?¡± Lin Feng asked. ¡°Because drunk driving isn¡¯t as serious as drug driving.¡± ¡°Damn, then he got checked, and he really is.¡± ¡°Then there¡¯s nothing we can do. We can only say that we get what we want.¡± ¡°Fuck, Jiang Youyi, I admire you so much. You¡¯re amazing.¡± Lin Feng stared at Jiang Youyi with admiration. ¡°How do you know it¡¯s mine? Don¡¯t tell me you sent someone to monitor me?¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t intend to continue Lin Feng¡¯s conversation with Wu Chen. Lu Yunxiao directly revealed that she was the main character. But how did Lu Yunxiao find out? Logically speaking, that shouldn¡¯t be the case, because she didn¡¯t show her face when she asked those reporters to publish the news and articles. Lu Yunxiao held the teacup and carefully examined the detailed patterns on it, as if he was looking at a piece of art. His voice was neither fast nor slow. ¡°This Audi isn¡¯t officially sold in the country. It¡¯s all custom-made by customers. There¡¯s only one in the entire Ocean City. If you check the car information, you¡¯ll know that the buyer is your family. And your brother doesn¡¯t drive such a flashy car at work. Your second sister is often not at home. Who else could it be but you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite good at deducing, Little Conan from Ocean City.¡± Jiang Youyi stared at Lu Yunxiao and mocked him. ¡°Wu Chen is a vengeful person.¡± Was he reminding her? ¡°I have many enemies. Who does he think he is?¡± Jiang Youyi waved her hand and started reading the menu. Lu Yunxiao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Youyi¡¯s side profile. She was extremely beautiful and had a faint scent of sandalwood. She really didn¡¯t seem to be faking her arrogance. However, he really liked her expression when she was arrogant. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? Although Wu Chen is difficult to deal with, he was still screwed by you, and it¡¯s not the first time, right?¡± Lin Feng felt that he had vented his anger. Then, he changed the topic. ¡°By the way, Jiang Youyi, is your second sister angry with me? Why doesn¡¯t she answer my calls anymore?¡± ¡°Why should she be angry with you?¡± Jiang Youyi was puzzled. ¡°Because I had a scandal with a small celebrity previously. Your second sister must be jealous.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. ¡°I told him he was overthinking, but he didn¡¯t believe me.¡± Wang Jiangbei complained. ¡°Youtian must be jealous. Youtian definitely doesn¡¯t like other women getting close to me. I know that.¡± ¡°Are you okay? Don¡¯t be so narcissistic. Her sister is still here..¡± Chapter 157 - Chapter 157: The Domineering Presidents Little Wife Chapter 157: The Domineering President¡¯s Little Wife Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As soon as Wang Jiangbei finished speaking, Jiang Youyi picked up her phone and dialed a number. She even put the call on speaker. After a few rings, the person on the other end picked up. Her voice was lazy and entered everyone¡¯s ears. Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°You¡¯re not up yet?¡± Jiang Youtian replied, ¡°It¡¯s only five in the morning here.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Sorry, I forgot about the time difference.¡± Jiang Youtian asked again, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Um, Second Sister, I want to ask, are you angry with Lin Feng?¡± After Jiang Youyi asked this, Lin Feng was extremely nervous and pricked up his ears to listen. Lu Yunxiao and Wang Jiangbei, on the other hand, continued to drink their tea calmly. In the end, it seemed that both of them had expected that. Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°Who?¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Lin Feng.¡± Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°Which Lin Feng?¡± Wang Jiangbei almost burst out laughing when he heard Jiang Youtian¡¯s words. Lu Yunxiao also looked at Lin Feng sympathetically. Lin Feng finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He leaned forward and said slyly, ¡°Youtian, it¡¯s me.¡± Jiang Youtian immediately remembered who this person was. She said immediately, ¡°Ah, no. Why should I be angry?¡± Lin Feng said, ¡°Youtian, have you seen the news in the country recently? It¡¯s about me.¡± Jiang Youtian said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve been quite busy recently.¡± Lin Feng said, ¡°Ah, as long as you¡¯re not angry with me.¡± Jiang Youtian asked, ¡°Why should I be angry?¡± Lin Feng explained, ¡°Because of that female celebrity. No, that¡¯s a C-list female celebrity. How can she compare to you? She even tried to scam me. Fortunately, Jiang Youyi helped me resolve it. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be jealous.¡± Jiang Youtian was silent for a few seconds before replying, ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Lin Feng then said, ¡°Of course I have to think more about it. After all, you¡¯re the woman in my heart¡­ I¡­¡± Jiang Youtian interrupted him. ¡°I¡¯m still a little sleepy. I¡¯ll go back to sleep. Xixi, leave me a message if you need anything.¡± Jiang Youyi said, ¡°Okay, bye.¡± Jiang Youyi hung up the phone swiftly and looked at Lin Feng sympathetically. ¡°I really don¡¯t want to discourage you, but my second sister really doesn¡¯t care about your news. She¡¯s so busy every day. There¡¯s a time limit to talking to my mother, too. Why would she care about such small gossip?¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi, do you think I have a high chance of winning if I woo your second sister?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we eat first?¡± ¡°Hahahahaha.¡± Wang Jiangbei was overjoyed. ¡°Wuwuwuwuwu, Jiang Youyi, why are you bullying me too?¡± Lin Feng felt bitter. Jiang Youyi gritted her teeth. ¡°To be honest, my second sister doesn¡¯t like you. She likes men.¡± ¡°Muscle man?¡± Lin Feng was stunned. ¡°No, she likes people who are very manly, gentlemanly, and talk little.¡± ¡°That¡¯s simple. My Brother Lu is one. Why don¡¯t you let your second sister spend time with my Brother Lu? They can make do.¡± As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a peanut landed on his head. He didn¡¯t even need to look to know who had thrown it. ¡°Are you anxious just because I¡¯m joking?¡± Lin Feng looked at Lu Yunxiao in amusement. ¡°He¡¯s just throwing peanuts at you this time, but it might not be next time.¡± Wang Jiangbei said. At this moment, the dishes began to be served one after another. Jiang Youyi looked at them for a long time before ordering a lemon phoenix claw. Wang Jiangbei and Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t order anything. The rest of the dishes were arranged by Lin Feng. It was rare for the four of them to have a quiet afternoon, and Jiang Youyi was quite satisfied with the food. When she finished eating and went downstairs, it was snowing outside. ¡°It snowed so early today.¡± Jiang Youyi looked at the snow outside the window and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. It¡¯s November,¡± Lu Yunxiao said. The next second, just as Jiang Youyi was about to open the door and leave, Lu Yunxiao took off his suit jacket and put it on her. ¡°Get in my car.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll take a taxi.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s new car had been sent to the Audi after sales because of an accident, but because there were no imported accessories in the country, it might take a long time. ¡°Get in the car and cut the crap.¡± This time, before Jiang Youyi could answer, Lu Yunxiao grabbed her arm and dragged her away. ¡°Hey, let go of me. You¡¯re being a hooligan¡­¡± Just like that, under Jiang Youyi¡¯s nagging, the two of them went straight to the parking lot. ¡°The wife of a domineering president.¡± Lin Feng sighed. ¡°Then hurry up and marry your female star,¡± Wang Jiangbei joked. ¡°When I had Jiang Youtian, you¡¯ll be the only bachelor left in the three-mile radius. By then, you won¡¯t even be able to cry.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for the day when I cry.¡± Wang Jiangbei was not optimistic about Lin Feng¡¯s chances of courting Jiang Youtian. In the beginning, he and Lu Yunxiao thought that this kid was joking. Later on, when they saw him looking for Jiang Youtian frequently, they felt that it was just novelty and would be fine after a while. Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm lasted for a long time this time. Every time he saw Jiang Youyi, he would talk about her.. Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: Make Ocean City White Fish for Me Tomorrow Night Chapter 158: Make Ocean City White Fish for Me Tomorrow Night Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations However, everyone knew what kind of person Jiang Youtian was. If she hadn¡¯t been so picky, it would have been impossible for her not to be married all these years. On the other side, Jiang Youyi was dragged into Lu Yunxiao¡¯s Maybach. As expected, it was no longer cold when they got into the car. She quickly took off her suit jacket and handed it to Lu Yunxiao. ¡°It¡¯s not cold in the car. Thank you.¡± Lu Yunxiao took the coat without batting an eyelid. ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you the location. Just send me here.¡± Jiang Youyi remembered that they still had WeChat, so she sent the location to Lu Yunxiao. The car slowly left the private restaurant. ¡°I saw that you didn¡¯t eat much just now. Isn¡¯t it delicious?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°Lin Feng knows how to enjoy himself. He chose the freshest ingredients. The chef is also from the capital.¡± ¡°But Ocean City¡¯s white fish is a little disappointing,¡± Jiang Youyi said. Lu Yunxiao was a little surprised. ¡°I was just about to praise Ocean City¡¯s white fish when you said this.¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯s delicious?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it always like this?¡± Lu Yunxiao was puzzled. Only Ocean City had white fish, and it was only available in mid-November every year. This was because there was an ancient river called the White Cloud River beside Ocean City. Such fish would appear out of nowhere in this river at this time of the year due to the climate and seasons. They couldn¡¯t be raised artificially because they were very sensitive to changes in the water temperature. The local elders said that they were wild fish in the underground river. As they didn¡¯t know their names, the locals called them Ocean City White Fish. Even the information recorded was about Ocean City¡¯s white fish. Because the meat was fresh and tender, and the quantity was precious, this fish became the favorite of the local rich. However, even if they had money, they could only eat it in November every year. In order to invite them to the banquet, Lin Feng naturally put in a lot of effort. What Lu Yunxiao didn¡¯t expect was that Jiang Youyi¡¯s evaluation of this fish was average. The white fish today was steamed because only by steaming could the freshness of the fish be restored to a higher level. ¡°I think it¡¯s a pity to steam it. It would be better if it was made into fish soup.¡± Jiang Youyi smiled. ¡°It sounds like you know more about the practices of the Ocean City White Fish?¡± ¡°Of course. I must have eaten it before to have such an evaluation.¡± ¡°Then when you¡¯re free, can you make it for me according to your method? Let me try it?¡± ¡°Sure. We¡¯ll talk about it when I¡¯m free.¡± Jiang Youyi thought that it was just a casual remark. There shouldn¡¯t be anything else. Who knew that this big shot really¡­ had an extremely good memory? Of course, she definitely did not have the time now because she had more important things to do. ¡°I¡¯m here. Thank you for sending me, President Qin. Bye.¡± ¡°Jiang Youyi.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Make me Ocean City White Fish tomorrow night.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. ¡°You just agreed. Are you going back on your word?¡± A certain someone¡¯s gaze was sharp. ¡°How can that be? What I mean is¡­ Ocean City¡¯s white fish is not easy to obtain. It¡¯s not a matter of whether it¡¯s expensive or not, but it¡¯s very difficult to fish it.¡± ¡°So when I asked Lin Feng to do it, he gave me two more.¡± Jiang Youyi was speechless. She had never expected that there would be such a person. This person was too scheming. ¡°Is there a problem? Tomorrow night?¡± Lu Yunxiao had a shameless sense of superiority. ¡°No problem.¡± ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll pick you up at five tomorrow night.¡± ¡°Wait, can I ask why I¡¯m making fish for you? Do I have any friendship with you?¡± ¡°I just gave you four phones.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just compensation. You broke my phone. You should compensate me, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if I compensate you one, but I gave you four.¡± ¡°Woah¡­ are you waiting for me here?¡± ¡°Also, I borrowed some clothes for you to wear. I picked up some food for you during dinner and even drove you to where you wanted to go. Also, at the banquet last time¡­¡± ¡°Stop. That¡¯s enough. I¡¯ll go. I¡¯ll go tomorrow night.¡± Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t want to listen anymore. This man was too scheming. Before taking his benefits next time, she had to think about it carefully before accepting it. This guy was indeed the number one capitalist. As he watched her slender figure disappear from his sight, Lu Yunxiao retracted the gentleness in his eyes. He picked up the phone. ¡°Find out what Du Chengbin has been doing recently.¡± Jiang Youyi, on the other hand, was full. She took out her phone and called for an online taxi. It was really fast and arrived in a minute. It was a standard Camry, black. She opened the car door and sat in the back seat. She heard the female driver in front say, ¡°Is it the ending number of 2824?¡± ¡°Yes, 2824.¡± After Jiang Youyi sat down, she looked up. The female driver was dressed in a black suit and white shirt. From time to time, she would look at Jiang Youyi through the rearview mirror with a subtle expression. Jiang Youyi ignored her at first and continued watching the news on her phone. Just the incident in the morning had caused the shares of the Wu family¡¯s treasure base to plummet. Of course, the Wu family must have made a move. Those news articles were about to disappear.. Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Shes Su Hui? Chapter 159: She¡¯s Su Hui? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations However, Jiang Youyi had already made arrangements. Even if Wu Chen investigated, he would not be able to find any clues related to her. After all, how many of them were as smart as Lu Yunxiao? However, when she thought of the Audi that her brother had given her, her heart ached. It was the same model as Iron Man. She had only driven it for a day, and it had already been rear-ended. Even though she had cheated Wu Chen of the money for a new car, she still felt unhappy. Still, the loss of the stocks gave her a lot of comfort. In Jiang Shaobei¡¯s words, Wu Chen was crazy today. Why did he provoke Jiang Youyi for no reason? That¡¯s right. Wu Chen probably couldn¡¯t even figure out if he had been possessed or not. The entire day was too mysterious. When the female driver looked at Jiang Youyi seriously through the rearview mirror again, she finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. ¡°You¡¯ve looked at me a few times. You¡¯re not an illegal car, are you?¡± Jiang Youyi was naturally joking. Online ride-hailing was random. Even if there was an ambush, it wouldn¡¯t be so coincidental. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I want to ask, is your surname Jiang?¡± ¡°Yes, my surname is Jiang, but¡­ how did you know?¡± Jiang Youyi was a little surprised and immediately remained vigilant. ¡°Are you guys so arrogant to reveal the customers¡¯ names now?¡± Jiang Youyi was stunned. ¡°No, no, no. I didn¡¯t see it on the software. It¡¯s¡­¡± The female driver paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s because you look very similar to a deskmate of mine in elementary school. Her name is Jiang Youyi. Don¡¯t tell me¡­ you¡¯re really Jiang Youyi?¡± Jiang Youyi was shocked. A deskmate in elementary school? She tried to recall. She immediately stuck her head forward and took a closer look at the female driver¡¯s face. Yes, she did look a little familiar. The next second, she exclaimed, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re really Su Hui.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really Su Hui. Looks like you¡¯re really Jiang Youyi.¡± The female driver was so excited that tears were about to fall. If not for the fact that she was not allowed to park casually in the area she was passing by, she would have stopped the car. Jiang Youyi had never expected to meet Su Hui. It was simply shocking. It was as coincidental as filming. Jiang Youyi suddenly went overseas when she was in the fourth grade of primary school in China. Therefore, she didn¡¯t have many classmates in China, except for Zhong Xiaohui. Zhong Xiaohui was also Jiang Youyi¡¯s primary school classmate, and she was the only one who remained in contact with her after she left the country. Because Zhong Xiaohui had been inheriting the family business in Ocean City and liked to surf the Internet, she had been in contact with Jiang Youyi for so many years. Not only was Su Hui her classmate, but she was also her deskmate. At that time, Su Hui¡¯s relationship with Zhong Xiaohui was average, but not as good as hers and Jiang Youyi¡¯s. Jiang Youyi was still not motivated and only knew how to eat, drink, and play. Su Hui was already a top student and was even the vice class monitor. Later on, Jiang Youyi remembered Zhong Xiaohui mentioning that Su Hui had gone to Shen City to work and seemed to be doing well. However, after so many years, no one had contacted each other. Jiang Youyi never expected to be reunited under such circumstances. Jiang Youyi was overjoyed to be reunited with Su Hui and postponed her meeting with Zhong Xiaohui. They found a quiet Japanese restaurant by the street with Su Hui. The two of them sat in the Japanese-styled tatami and looked at each other with mixed feelings. ¡°I almost didn¡¯t recognize you. You¡¯re getting prettier,¡± Su Hui praised. At their age, they were all in their twenties and were still young. Jiang Youyi came from a good family. She ate, wore, and used exquisite clothes, so her skin was naturally smooth. Su Hui was actually not bad-looking. She also had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but her skin was a little dark. She was also wearing a black suit, looking a little old-fashioned. Moreover, if one looked carefully, they would notice that there were many white hairs hidden in her short hair, and there were some fine lines at the corners of her eyes. ¡°I heard from Zhong Xiaohui that you¡¯re doing very well in the south.¡± Su Hui smiled bitterly. ¡°It was alright before, but it wasn¡¯t very good. It¡¯s just a rumor. I¡¯m a person with no background and no ability. I can only rely on studying to survive.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t just study hard. I heard that you were guaranteed admission to Shen University.¡± Jiang Youyi had always admired this kind of talent. However, those who were willing to work hard could endure hardships since they were young. ¡°Yes, Shen University gave me a chance back then, but unfortunately¡­¡± ¡°What of it?¡± Seeing that Su Hui seemed to have something difficult to say, Jiang Youyi asked softly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. At that time, my development was very good. I also entered a joint venture company that was ranked in the top 500 in the world.¡± At this point, Su Hui¡¯s eyes were filled with slight regret. ¡°But not long after, something happened to my family. I had to return to Ocean City. After I came back, I still had the energy to do something at first. I partnered with my friends to open a small noodle shop. Later, it was closed down because the fire department was not qualified, so I stopped working.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯re still young.¡± Jiang Youyi couldn¡¯t ask her directly what had happened to her family, but she could imagine that it must have been very serious.. Otherwise, why would it make Su Hui give up her future? Chapter 160 - Chapter 16o: Grand Finale Chapter 16o: Grand Finale Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯m just doing some online rides now. If I¡¯m free at night, I¡¯ll deliver food. However, the weather in Ocean City has turned cold recently. My mother¡¯s bronchitis is acting up. She needs to be taken care of, so I can only do one job during the day.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard enough. Where¡¯s your brother? Don¡¯t you have another brother?¡± Jiang Youyi vaguely remembered that Su Hui had mentioned her brother when they were at the same table. At the mention of her younger brother, Su Hui¡¯s eyes darkened and the light in her eyes extinguished. ¡°My brother¡­ Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about this. Hurry up and eat something.¡± Su Hui felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly adjusted her state and took the initiative to pick up a salt-baked prawn for Jiang Youyi. ¡°Eat more. It¡¯s hard for you to drive.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s heart suddenly ached for Su Hui. As the most knowledgeable child in the class at that time, the child who ranked first in every exam and was guaranteed admission to a key university, she was actually driving an online car reservation now? It wasn¡¯t that driving a car online wasn¡¯t good, but she felt that it was a little overkill. ¡°What about you? How have you been all these years?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just like that¡­ Haha.¡± Jiang Youyi laughed, making the atmosphere much more relaxed. ¡°I met Zhong Xiaohui a few years ago. She said that you were studying in Country Y.¡± ¡°Yes, I went overseas and drank some foreign ink to see the world. However, studying is not enough. I¡¯ve been back for five years and haven¡¯t found a job. Now, I¡¯m just living at home and relying on my parents,¡± Jiang Youyi said conservatively. ¡°You have a good family background, so you don¡¯t have to worry about food and accommodation. Your parents are capable, so they can support you. As a girl, don¡¯t work so hard. After all, after marrying someone, you might not be able to live well at home. Only when your family is powerful and your parents are powerful will you have the right to rely on your elders. I¡¯m a little envious.¡± Su Hui¡¯s EQ.was very high, and her speech was very accurate. When Jiang Youyi saw her, she immediately recalled many interesting things from her childhood and was filled with emotions. ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with that. I highly agree. A daughter-in-law from heaven is inferior to a daughter from hell. Her biological parents will definitely treat her the best. As for marriage, it¡¯s like opening a blind box. If she meets a good man, she can only say that she¡¯s lucky.¡± Jiang Youyi¡¯s words made Su Hui laugh. When the bill was paid, no matter how insistent Jiang Youyi was, Su Hui still insisted on paying. In the end, she was even about to get angry. Helpless, Jiang Youyi could only let her pay. However, Jiang Youyi¡¯s heart ached for Su Hui. She knew that it was not easy for her to earn money in her current situation. ¡°Su Hui, it¡¯s not easy for you to earn money.¡± ¡°Even so, there¡¯s no difference in these few hundred yuan. You can¡¯t even make me poor by eating. It¡¯s really fate that we can meet again in such a big world. I even thought that you had settled overseas and wouldn¡¯t be coming back.¡± Su Hui suddenly thought of when she was young. Every time Jiang Youyi came to school, she would bring pastries and sweets to study. She came from a poor family and did not have the means to do so. She did eat a lot of good food with Jiang Youyi. At first, she was embarrassed, but later on, she felt more at ease by explaining math questions to Jiang Youyi. It was said that children of the poor took charge early. Su Hui felt that she was one of them. Sometimes, it was not that you wanted to grow up, but reality forced you to grow up. ¡°I¡¯ll look for Zhong Xiaohui later. Let¡¯s meet again,¡± Jiang Youyi said. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s much more convenient now that we¡¯ve added each other on WeChat.¡± ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll send you back,¡± Su Hui offered when she saw that Jiang Youyi wasn¡¯t driving. Jiang Youyi didn¡¯t stand on ceremony. ¡°Alright, then send me home. I¡¯m tired too. I¡¯ve been out for the whole day.¡± In the end, Jiang Youyi only got Su Hui to send her to the road near the neighborhood and walked two miles home. Because Jiang Youyi¡¯s house was in the villa area. Although it could not be said to be the top wealthy district in Ocean City, it was definitely a place that ordinary people could not afford in their lives. In Jiang Youyi¡¯s opinion, showing off one¡¯s wealth in front of one¡¯s friends was an evil in itself. It was an evil of human nature. She couldn¡¯t do it. After Su Hui¡¯s car drove away, Jiang Youyi took out her phone and dialed a number on the way back. ¡°I had a female deskmate in primary school called Su Hui. She¡¯s also from Ocean City. She¡¯s a year older than me. Yes, she¡¯s 24 years old this year. I don¡¯t know where her family lives. She also has a younger brother. Investigate her experiences after graduating from university. The more detailed the better.¡± After Jiang Youyi finished her call, she entered the house. *** Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, 10 years had passed. When they were middle-aged, Lu Yunxiao and Jiang Youyi were clutching their youthful tails tightly. They didn¡¯t want to grow old, but seeing their children grow up day by day, they could only fight against time with all their might. After they got married, Lu Yunxiao moved into Jiang Youyi¡¯s sea of flowers villa while Jiang Youtian and Lin Feng bought the villa next door. After some hard work, Jiang Youyi gave birth to a son and a daughter for Lu Yunxiao. The son¡¯s name was Lu Tianhao, and the daughter¡¯s name was Lu Tianran. Meanwhile, Jiang Youtian only gave birth to a son for Lin Feng called Lin Lang. Lin Lang and Lu Tianran were seven years old and were in the first grade of primary school. The two of them were deskmates in the same class and looked very much like Lu Yunxiao. Lin Lang was very handsome and had his hands in his pockets all day long. He was as cool as his godfather, Lu Yunxiao. Lu Tianran had completely inherited Jiang Youyi¡¯s beauty and was even prettier than Jiang Youyi in terms of facial features. It made Jiang Youtian clamor every day about getting them engaged. She thought that it was a joke, but more than ten years later, the two little fellows really got together and the two families lived extremely blissfully..
