In truth, whether Li Qiaong could get out or not, or if sothing were to happen to her, Ye Xiyuan was completely indifferent. Otherwise, when Ye Anyun had asked for her help, she wouldn’t have turned him down so decisively.
However, she now had a brilliant idea. Li Qiaong had been locked up for so long, and she may even face the threat of prison. It seed that the person she hated the most right now should be Ye Lengan! As long as she used it wisely, this could be a very effective tool.
At this thought, a ruthless glint flickered in Ye Xiyuan’s eyes. After hearing Ye Xiyuan’s plans, both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin found themselves deep in thought. They seed to be pondering the likelihood of such an approach’s success.
After a long pause, Ye Li seed sowhat swayed, but his face bore signs of hesitation. “There is a certain logic to what you’re suggesting. However, what if I manage to rescue Li Qiaong, and she continues to bother Anyun? What then? And Isn’t Anyun dedicated to helping Li Qiaong? Will he let go of her that easily?”
“Dad, you should persuade Brother,” Ye Xiyuan suggested. “As long as you lay out the costs and benefits for him, he will surely know what to do. As for Li Qiaong, I will visit the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to see her. After all, if we genuinely intend to rescue her, we may need her cooperation.”
After a mont’s contemplation, Ye Li finally nodded in agreent. “Alright, I’ll heed your advice this ti. However, I will need to give your brother a piece of my mind.”
Ye Xiyuan nodded her agreent. However, Lin Wanqin appeared sowhat concerned. “Xiyuan, you’re still recovering. Is now a good ti to visit Li Qiaong? You don’t need to rush. You can go once you’ve completely recovered.’
Compared to Li Qiaong, who had already left a negative impression despite never eting her, their daughter’s well-being was, of course, far more critical.
“Mom, I’m fully recovered now.” Ye Xiyuan smiled, shaking her head before continuing, “These were rely superficial wounds.”
Despite her continued worries, Lin Wanqin chose not to persist in hearing Ye Xiyuan’s reassurance.
At the Nangong familys residence, Murong Yanshu instructed the butler to issue invitations in her na for everyone to bear witness to her acknowledging a goddaughter after coming back.
Upon hearing Murong Yanshu’s instructions, the butler paused. “Madam, will the invitation be sent out under your na and not the Nangong family’s?”
This surprise ca because he rembered that the madam had intended to adopt the goddaughter under the family’s na.
“I’ll use my na,” Murong Yanshu said coolly. “Ye Xiyuan saved , so displaying my gratitude is enough. Using the Nangong family’s na will accord her too much honor.’
Initially, she did plan to take Ye Xiyuan as goddaughter under the Nangong family’s na. However, after Ye Xiyuan accepted today, she changed her mind. She had a good impression of this girl who had saved her, but she seed too cunning.
Ye Xiyuan likely disliked her decision but masked her discomfort well. Despite her reluctance, upon hearing Xuyao’s approval, she swiftly chose the kindest outco for herself.
It wasn’t to say that that decision was wrong. It simply left Murong Yanshu feeling uneasy. Admittedly, using the Nangong familys na to legitimize the adoption had its advantages, but it also held potential implications for the family. This realization led to her sudden change of heart.
After hearing Murong Yanshu’s response, the butler didn’t dare push further. Instead, he set about choosing an auspicious date for the banquet.
Interrupted by an unforeseen incident last ti, the New Year’s banquet could use this opportunity for a grand do-over, extending an invitation to the mbers of all major families.
While Murong Yanshu and the butler were discussing the plans, Nangong
Xuyao strolled in from outside.
His face was solemn, his emotions indiscernible.
“Xuyao, you’re back!” Murong Yanshu waved at him. “Co and sit down first..
