Outside the screen that she couldn't see, Li Jianbin had already walked in front of Ning Yichu, glanced down at the screen on the computer, and there was a hint of warning in his voice.

"Don't try to get any information out of Ningning, otherwise..."

He didn't finish what he said, but they all knew it.

Ning Yichu didn't want the children to know about this. Ning Ning was very considerate. She pressed the mute button and looked at Li Jianbin calmly, "I was just asking casually. I didn't mean it that way."

"You'd better do this." Li Jianbin glared at Ning Yichu coldly, "Shut it up! Today's call ends here!"

Ning Yichu's heart suddenly froze, and he realized that Li Jianbin was now using Ning Ning as a bargaining chip to control him, and that it would be impossible for him to easily get any useful clues...

She had no choice but to force a smile, turned on the voice chat again, and comforted Ningning, "Baby, Mommy has some work to do. Just stay there and get your treatment, okay? Mommy will come pick you up soon."

"Okay Mommy..."

Ningning is very sensible and never forces Ning Yichu, who is busy with work, to accompany her.

Even if he missed her, he could only pout and say, "Mommy, call me tomorrow. I'll wait for you."

"Mommy will try to be good, okay? My dear baby..."

"All right!"

The phone was hung up, but Ningning's childish voice seemed to still be in his ears, and Ning Yichu felt extremely distressed...

Ningning is alone over there, and who knows how much suffering she will have to endure...

"This is an invitation to a jewelry exhibition tomorrow. You and Xi Xingyu are attending together. Don't forget to dress up nicely."

Li Jianbin coldly threw over a beautifully crafted, high-end invitation, then stared intently into Ning Yichu's eyes, "If you behave well, tomorrow night... maybe you can see Ning Ning too."

Ning Yichu's palms tightened slightly, and a hint of stubbornness and forbearance flashed in his eyes.

She couldn't break up with Li Jianbin until she confirmed Ningning's location.

She took the invitation and bowed her head, "Okay."

After Ning Yichu left the study, Li Jianbin called Wang Xuan over and said, "From today on, send someone to monitor Ning Yichu at all times, especially when she meets with Li Lingyang. Someone must be sent to keep a close eye on her and not let her reveal anything."

"Once she reveals it... let her see Ningning's body! And then immediately take those two children under control!"

A hint of strong horror flashed in Wang Xuan's eyes when he heard this.

He has followed Li Jianbin for many years. Although Li Jianbin had some tricks in the past, they were all aimed at enemies in the business world or the Gu family.

I never thought that one day Li Jianbin would treat his own daughter and granddaughter so cruelly.

Is it because these children are Gu Lingyang’s bloodline?

If Li Jianbin knew that he had pretended to obey his orders and had not completely followed his orders to eradicate the root of the problem, what would happen to him...

Wang Xuan was actually horrified.

The next morning.

Ning Yichu was woken up by the servant very early, and Li Jianbin arranged for a styling team to come and dress her up.

She was half asleep and half awake, so she sat down in front of the dressing table.

She didn't sleep well last night...

In her dream, Ningning was always crying for her mommy. She woke up from her dream several times. It was a dark night outside. She had a terrible headache and had to force herself to get up and go to the children's room to see Chenbao and Ningning who were still sleeping. Only then could she feel a little relieved.

"Ms. Ning, you are so beautiful."

The makeup artist sighed sincerely, looking at Ning Yichu's perfect face in the mirror and smiled slightly, "Are you satisfied with this makeup? If not, we can make some changes."

"No."

Ning Yichu was not interested in her own image. Li Jianbin arranged for her to attend the event with Xi Xingyu just to confirm the marriage between the two families.

In that case, she's just going to be a mascot.

Ning Yichu changed into a smoky purple long dress. The hem of the skirt was elegant and simple, with a shimmering design similar to a fishtail.

The skirt was a backless design, and the beautiful curves of her waist and back seemed natural. Ning Yichu picked up a handbag without any concern. When she walked out of the gate of the Li family's old house, Xi Xingyu was already waiting by the car.

He was driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom today, which suited his personality very well. A white suit might be a disaster on someone else, but with Xi Xingyu's bold and unruly face, it made him look even more handsome.

Xi Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ning Yichu's outfit with a smile, "Not bad, Miss Ning looks pretty good in her formal attire."

He opened the door for Ning Yichu like a gentleman. Seeing that she was seated, he glanced suspiciously behind her and asked casually, "Isn't your assistant coming?"

"He's not that free."

Ning Yichu replied, and saw Xi Xingyu's face full of speechless feeling of "this hairstyle today is in vain", and he sat in the car silently, "How boring, let's drive!"

Ning Yichu: ...

I really don't understand you men, especially those who are too showy.

Soon, the car drove to the jewelry exhibition venue.

Xi Xingyu opened the door for Ning Yichu, and as soon as the two of them appeared hand in hand, they attracted everyone's attention.

The media pointed their microphones and cameras at them, flashes of light kept clicking, and microphones were handed to them.

"Ms. Ning, this is the first time you and Mr. Xi have appeared together in public since your engagement announcement. Is your engagement party coming soon?"

"Mr. Xi, what are your thoughts on Mr. Li Jianbin's recent involvement in a kidnapping case six months ago?"

"Ms. Ning, you and Mr. Xi are so loving! Do you have any plans to have children in the future?"
