Yuan Xudong’s previous concerns had proven valid.
If she got close to him, it would indeed be too eye-catching. If Yuan Luochen had such thoughts, then the other six uncles must have their suspicions as well.
Although she didn’t mind these things, it wasn’t good to bring trouble to Yuan Xudong.
In the future, she should be more careful not to get too intimate with the Yuan family’s brother.
Ye Xiaoxi sighed softly and said, “Let’s go back first.”
“Aren’t you going to look for the Old Master?” Li Yu asked.
“No, Grandpa hasn’t been feeling well recently. I don’t want to disturb him again and again.” Ye Xiaoxi hadn’t planned to trouble the Old Master too much. After all, one was his son, and the other was his granddaughter. He was stuck in the middle.
Li Yu fell silent.
Ye Xiaoxi didn’t notice his strange behavior and quickened her pace towards her room.
As soon as he accompanied Ye Xiaoxi to the bedroom, his phone rang.
Li Yu took it out, glanced at it, and hung up.
“Why aren’t you picking up?” Ye Xiaoxi asked.
“It’s just an insignificant private matter. I don’t want to take up office time. Miss, have a good rest. I’ll call the doctor for you.”
“Okay, when you leave later, remember to take the supplement on the table with you. 1 prepared it for your sister. Don’t worry, I’ve consulted the doctor in advance. It is suitable for her condition, so I bought it for her.”
Ye Xiaoxi sat in front of the mirror with her back facing Li Yu.
Li Yu held his breath and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but these things are too expensive…”
“No matter how expensive something is, it’s not worth mentioning compared to a life. Your sister is still so young and needs proper care. Otherwise, it might leave a lifelong problem is neglected.” Ye Xiaoxi said gently, “Anyway, these things mean nothing to me. You can take them. You don’t have to feel burdened.”
Li Yu remained silent for a moment, then nodded as he said, “Yes.”
Then, he turned around and left the room.
He walked outside, took out his phone, and made a call.
He lowered his voice and said, “Sir…”
On the other end of the phone, Yuan Luochen flew into a rage. “You bastard! Despicable thing! Have you forgotten who saved you and your sister when you were in danger? If it weren’t for me, your sister would have died long ago! You don’t know how to be grateful and actually dare to lay hands on me! Are you tired of living?”
“Sir gave me a mission to win Miss’s favor. I’m just following your instructions.” Li Yu answered seriously, his eyes as deep as the sea. “If I offended you and you don’t want me to continue this mission, 1 can leave Miss immediately.”
Yuan Luochen was left speechless.
After holding it in for a few seconds, he said, “You dare to threaten me? Fine… Very good… Go back to your room and kneel. Without my order, you’re not allowed to get up tonight!”
“Yes.”
Li Yu replied solemnly.
Yuan Luochen hung up.
On the other side.
Yan Ruo saw that her Weibo and website fans had all risen, and she provocatively sent Jiang Yining an invitation.
[I’m going to hold a celebration banquet on Saturday to find the most suitable owner for my manga. When the time comes, Author Ningxin, you must come and support me. I look forward to your presence.]
She had also invited Old Master Bo and Bo Qin.
Let them come together and open their eyes to take a good look!
She could live a better life without them!
Previously, she had cooperated with the Bo family entirely on account of his father, giving them alms!
Jiang Yining received the invitation and smiled coldly.
She immediately told the person who delivered the invitation, “Tell Yan Ruo that I’ll definitely be there.”
“Thank you for coming, Miss Jiang.”
After sending him off, Jiang Yining dialed a number and said a few words before hanging up.
Ye Xiaoxi took two days off in a row and Jiang Yining called her.
Ye Xiaoxi claimed that she had caught a slight cold and was afraid of spreading it to her classmates, so she didn’t go to school.
Jiang Yining suggested going to her house to take a look.
Ye Xiaoxi dismissed her with the excuse that there was a doctor at home and she didn’t need to trouble her to go back and forth.
Jiang Yining could only give up.
In the afternoon, Lu Zhi returned home early and arranged 66 luxury cars for Jiang Yining to attend the banquet in the evening.
Jiang Yining smiled and said, “I’m afraid that’s not very good, right? It will steal Yan Ruo’s limelight.”
“This is the effect 1 wanted.”
Beneath Lu Zhi’s indifferent expression was a calculating and scheming look.
Yan Ruo dared to invite Yining because she wanted to show off and bully Yining..
