Shi Xiu stopped, and Lan Long’s worries were relieved. He smiled and reassured her, “A little princess like you deserves everyone’s care and protection.”

Shi Xiu looked back at him. “Thanks to them, I live a carefree life,” she said calmly and seriously. “I also cause trouble for them without a care in the world.”

Lan Long chuckled, “What trouble can a sensible, well-behaved, and competent girl like you cause? Don’t worry, your brothers won’t bla you—”

“But I do! I bla myself! I’m a blind idiot,” Shi Xiu interrupted Lan Long. Lan Long was taken aback and stared at Shi Xiu.

“I told soone my sister-in-law’s address,” Shi Xiu said slowly, looking at him. Lan Long felt nailed to the spot from head to toe at her words.

Shi Xiu finally took two steps closer to him. She raised her head slightly and regarded Lan Long. Her tone was intense as she continued, “I personally told Xiang Yang’s address to the person I like the most. I only told him!”

Lan Long stilled. Shi Xiu reached out and gently adjusted Lan Long’s tie. “If sothing happened to my sister-in-law, who do you think would have done it?” she asked rhetorically.

Lan Long grabbed Shi Xiu’s wrist and uttered coldly, “You’re doing this on purpose?”

Shi Xiu gazed at him, scanning his face over and over again. Lan Long suddenly realized where they were and tossed Shi Xiu’s hand away. Shi Xiu lightly took a couple of steps back and laughed. “This isn’t like you at all, losing your composure so easily.”

Lan Long’s breathing was a little hurried. He reached out to loosen his tie, and his expression darkened slightly.

Shi Xiu sighed faintly in relief, “Thank you, for letting understand the dangers of this world! My family’s education only lacked this. After all, growing up, all the n who could make it to my side can be easily seen through.”

“You were the only exception!” she went on. “I thought that the heavens were looking out for this ti, but in fact, it was indeed. After all, lessons learned are the rarest treasures.”

“You siblings tead up to deceive ?!” Lan Long hissed, still in slightly disbelief.

Shi Xiu chuckled. “Are you soone that easy to fool?” Lan Long nearly choked on his anger.

“I’ve been waiting, waiting for news from Big Bro’s side. How I wish that things would be calm and quiet over there?” Shi Xiu’s eyes filled with tears as she spoke. “Unfortunately, the news I received was that Chang Yuan got seriously injured, and Dragon and White Tiger were also injured.”

She smiled at Lan Long. “At that mont, my dream shattered. I knew that all the excuses I made for you and myself weren’t valid. My older brother said that things that have occurred is what is called truth; there’s no other choice but to accept it. I am a daughter of the Shi family. I can’t be swayed by my emotions!”

After he managed to compose himself with so difficulty, Lan Long feigned surprise and uttered, “What does this matter have to do with ?”

Shi Xiu stared at him and smiled serenely. “You’re right, it has nothing to do with you. This is our Shi family’s business.”

They both fell silent. The hustle and bustle of the great hall couldn’t seem to reach them. It was as if everything around them no longer existed, and only the two of them were left in the world.

“Shi Xiu—”/”I only told you about the villa in the eastern suburbs!” Lan Long and Shi Xiu spoke at the sa ti, but what they said was completely different.

Lan Long looked at Shi Xiu in shock. Shi Xiu t his gaze and smiled. “Mr. Lan, now, the rest will be up to you and my older brother’s abilities. However, unnecessary as it may be, I would like to give you another piece of advice: The love between my two brothers and sisters-in-law is unassailable and indestructible, so don’t waste your efforts doing aningless things.”

Shi Xiu turned around and made to leave. “Shi Xiu!” Lan Long called out to her.

Shi Xiu stopped but didn’t turn around. “Don’t you want to hear your sister-in-law’s story?” Lan Long tempted.

Shi Xiu turned her head and smiled. “You can tell my sister-in-law’s story to my big brother. However… My big brother only likes to listen to stories my sister-in-law tells. Stories other people tell are aningless.”

With that, Shi Xiu strode over to the lively scene by the brides and grooms. Lan Long stood there and stared after her figure indifferently.

‘I didn’t expect all my efforts to go to waste just like that,’ he thought. ‘This is the Shi family siblings’ conspiracy! And I was the one who defenselessly walked into their trap on my own, step-by-step. I lost, thoroughly and completely.’

When Shi Xiu had “unintentionally” ntioned Xiang Yang’s location, he’d believed her without hesitation. He was confident that he had gained Shi Xiu’s heart and trust. That young girl’s love for him was clear in her eyes and written all over her face. She wasn’t wary of him at all.

He had been cautious. He’d asked Mr. Lou to arrange for so people to investigate the villa in his caution. However, when he received confirmation, he was even more convinced of Shi Xiu’s words and his own charm.

It was reasonable to choose today as the day of attack. Anyone would choose today because today was the Shi family’s big day; their defense would definitely be at its weakest today.
