Chapter 120 has a trump card.

Before Qi Xi could process Yu Li's follow-up question, she changed the subject again: "So, are you still going to this so-called family reunion banquet?"

“I was never interested in the so-called family reunion banquet. In fact, as for my identity as a daughter of the Qi family, if it weren’t for my adoptive parents being such scoundrels…”

"If my adoptive parents were any better, I wouldn't go back to the Qi family to be treated coldly. Since they're going to pull this kind of dirty trick, I might as well not go. Why would I go and just be a foil for that green tea Qi Jianyue?"

Just hearing Li Rujun's words made Qi Xi furious. Did he really have to go to the banquet and suffer for nothing?

But Yu Li slapped her thigh and said, "Why not go? What's ours must be taken back!"

"Besides, who says the Qi family can decide whatever they want? We can say whatever we want. They can think about their own business, and what they say and do at the banquet is our business."

Qi Xi blinked, shocked by Yu Li's boldness.

"Lili, do you mean I should agree to their conditions on the surface, and then reveal in front of everyone at the banquet that I am the real heiress of the Qi family, and Qi Jianyue is just an imposter?"

Qi Xi gasped, "Isn't this a bit too risky? And what I'm afraid of is that even if I say this in public, what if other members of the Qi family jump out?"

"Especially my good parents, they deny what I say, so even if I tell the truth, it's useless, right?"

Yu Li was quite excited just now, and her throat was all dry from shouting.

She held her water glass, took a couple of sips to moisten her throat, and then said with a mysterious expression, "Don't worry, not everyone in your Qi family is a bunch of blind fools who can't distinguish right from wrong. There are still some reasonable people among you."

"Since I dared to propose this method, I must have a trump card."

Her trump card, of course, is Qi Chenyan.

When they first got their marriage certificate, Yu Li didn't know what Qi Chenyan's attitude was towards the Qi family recognizing Qi Xi.

So she took the opportunity to send Qi Chenyan back to the Qi family to test him.

Clearly, Qi Chenyan's performance was not only good, but unexpectedly good.

From this, it can be concluded that Qi Chenyan does not have a good attitude towards Qi Jianyue, this imposter, and is willing to stand on Qi Xi's side.

So all she needs to do is ensure that Qi Chenyan attends the family reunion banquet. Then, when Qi Xi betrays her in public, Qi Chenyan can vouch for her and prove her words.

The rest of the Qi family probably wouldn't dare to contradict Qi Chenyan, so Qi Jianyue's plan to use this to solidify her status as the true heiress of the Qi family would be thwarted.

Qi Xi quickly guessed who the reasonable person Yu Li was referring to was: "Li Li, are you referring to my uncle? Although he was indeed the only one in the Qi family who stood by my side and was willing to speak up for me during the family banquet before."

"But at that time it was a small-scale event. Given the Qi family's status, those who could attend the family reunion banquet must have been wealthy and influential people from high society."

"With so many people around, my uncle probably wouldn't risk the Qi family's reputation by publicly exposing Qi Jianyue's true identity in front of everyone, just for the sake of me, his newly recognized niece, right?"

Perhaps Yu Li wouldn't have dared to make such a promise before, but after spending time with Qi Chenyan, she felt that she should give this much trust to her new husband.

She believed in Qi Chenyan's character and his consistently decisive and efficient work style.

"Xixi, do you believe me?"

Qi Xi nodded without hesitation, "Of course, even if you turn around and sell me out, I'll still happily help you count the money! If that's not enough, I can sell you out a second time."

Although it was a joke, Yu Li actually felt very sorry for her when she heard it.

Don't let my best friend's cheerful and optimistic demeanor fool you; she was actually very timid when she was a child.

Because her adoptive parents didn't treat her like a human being and abused her from a young age, if it weren't for Yu Li's selfless act of taking her to live with her grandmother, she would have been completely ruined.

And when her adoptive parents came to her door, she grabbed a broom and fought them, saying that Qi Xi was her own sister and no one was allowed to take her away.

Since the adoptive parents felt that someone was willing to be the sucker and pay for Qi Xi's food, clothing, and shelter, they could save some money, so they decided not to take Qi Xi back.

Living in that kind of environment, Qi Xi was timid as a mouse at that time. He clung to Yu Li's side every day, and would become severely anxious if he couldn't see Yu Li.

It was through Yu Li's guidance over the past twenty-odd years that she was able to become that sunny and cheerful girl again.

But deep down, Qi Xi still subconsciously doubts herself when faced with problems.

Even if what Yu Li says sometimes sounds incredibly bold and far-fetched, she will believe it without hesitation and support her.

Yu Li opened her arms, hugged her best friend, and patted her back.

"Don't worry about Xixi, I will never do anything to hurt you, you can trust me unconditionally."

"I will definitely return the identity that rightfully belongs to you to you in front of everyone."

Even if she falls out with those unreasonable people in the Qi family, so what? Even if she really severs ties with the Qi family, she can still support her best friend.

Besides, her best friend is also very outstanding. In the more than twenty years that she was not recognized by the Qi family, she lived a happy life.

On the contrary, after recognizing the Qi family, Yu Li noticed that she smiled less.

The Qi family has been living a life of luxury for too long. It's time to let them see what the baptism of a storm is like!

While Yu Li was on vacation and recuperating at home, Qi Jianyue's talk show premiered on Saturday.

Because the invited guest was Qi Xiaoyun, a superstar in the music industry, the promotional materials released before the show aired generated a lot of buzz.

When it premiered, it was incredibly popular.

Qi Jianyue only got the program approved by higher-ups because of Qi Siyue's connections.

Moreover, the broadcast effect of this program will directly determine Qi Jianyue's status at the TV station and will affect her competition for the position of deputy director.

So on the day the show premiered, Qi Jianyue stayed at the TV station watching the data.

With its popularity soaring and even surpassing 2, it's rare for a TV program to break 2 in such a short time.

The last show to break 2 so quickly was the first episode of a celebrity interview hosted by Yu Li, with Qi Chenyan as the guest.

However, compared to the speed at which celebrity interviews break 2, Qi Jianyue's speed is still a step behind.

Despite being a superstar in the music industry, Qi Xiaoyun's popularity among the general public still pales in comparison to that of Qi Chenyan, a legendary figure in the diplomatic world.

Even so, seeing these results, colleagues began to take the opportunity to praise them.

"Jian Yue, you're amazing! I knew it! As long as Jian Yue makes a move, it's a guarantee of high viewership. Judging from this trend, it won't be long before it catches up with celebrity interviews, right?"
