In truth, whether Li Qiaomeng could get out or not, or if something were to happen to her, Ye Xiyuan waspletely 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 Qiaomeng had been locked up for so long, and she may even face the threat of prison. It seemed 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 ns, both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin found themselves deep in thought. They seemed to be pondering the likelihood of such an approach’s sess.
After a long pause, Ye Li seemed somewhat 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 Qiaomeng, and she continues to bother Anyun? What then? And Isn’t Anyun dedicated to helping Li Qiaomeng? Will he let go of her that easily?”
“Dad, you should persuade Brother,” Ye Xiyuan suggested. “As long as youy out the costs and benefits for him, he will surely know what to do. As for Li Qiaomeng, 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 moment’s contemtion, Ye Li finally nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll heed your advice this time. However, I will need to give your brother a piece of my mind.”
Ye Xiyuan nodded her agreement. However, Lin Wanqin appeared somewhat concerned. “Xiyuan, you’re still recovering. Is now a good time to visit Li Qiaomeng? You don’t need to rush. You can go once you’vepletely recovered.’
Compared to Li Qiaomeng, who had already left a negative impression despite never meeting 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 merely 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 name for everyone to bear witness to her acknowledging a goddaughter aftering back.
Upon hearing Murong Yanshu’s instructions, the butler paused. “Madam, will the invitation be sent out under your name and not the Nangong family’s?”
This surprise came because he remembered that the madam had intended to adopt the goddaughter under the family’s name.
“I’ll use my name,” Murong Yanshu said coolly. “Ye Xiyuan saved me, so disying my gratitude is enough. Using the Nangong family’s name will ord her too much honor.’
Initially, she did n to take Ye Xiyuan as goddaughter under the Nangong family’s name. However, after Ye Xiyuan epted today, she changed her mind. She had a good impression of this girl who had saved her, but she seemed too cunning.
Ye Xiyuan likely disliked her decision but masked her difort well. Despite her reluctance, upon hearing Xuyao’s approval, she swiftly chose the kindest oue for herself.
It wasn’t to say that that decision was wrong. It simply left Murong Yanshu feeling uneasy. Admittedly, using the Nangong familys name 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 incidentst time, the New Year’s banquet could use this opportunity for a grand do-over, extending an invitation to the members of all major families.
While Murong Yanshu and the butler were discussing the ns, Nangong
Xuyao strolled in from outside.
His face was solemn, his emotions indiscernible.
“Xuyao, you’re back!” Murong Yanshu waved at him. “Come and sit down first..
