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..”
