Jiang Tian gently moved her phone away, her tone still calm: "Yes, we've been together for a long time."

Qiao Yulan paused for a moment, then her tone became even more agitated: "Are you crazy, Auntie! I know you're short of money, but even if you're short of money, you shouldn't be spending it with a devil!"

Li Xiu's expression had turned completely cold.

His men never stopped searching for Qiao Yulan.

However, her friends were very capable and always managed to help Qiao Yulan escape at the last minute.

So the matter was put aside.

With Jiang Tian filling the void in Li Xiu's life, he is gradually starting to let go of those painful memories.

Even Qiao Yulan, he had little interest in investigating further.

As for the relationship between Jiang Tian and Qiao Yulan, Li Xiu knew very well that they were not real relatives at all.

Li Xiu wouldn't hold a grudge against others, especially since Jiang Tian was his lover.

I thought life would be peaceful from then on, but I never expected Qiao Yulan to cause more trouble.

Hearing the other person call him a devil, Li Xiu's fingertips stiffened slightly.

He was somewhat afraid to look at Jiang Tian's face.

So many people spoke ill of her in front of her...

He didn't know how to react.

"Yu Lan, have you returned to China?"

Jiang Tian didn't answer Qiao Yulan's question, but instead threw another question at her.

Qiao Yulan paused, then said, "How could I possibly go back to China? Li Xiu won't let me go!"

"Then from what standpoint are you giving me advice on my life?" Jiang Tian remained quite calm.

Qiao Yulan suddenly felt that her aunt was a bit stubborn: "Aunt, let me tell you, I did make a mistake back then, but there was a reason! I can't work with someone like Li Xiu, let alone be his confidant."

"If you need money, give me a bank account number and I'll transfer the money to you. Don't stay with him, he'll ruin your life!"

At this moment, Qiao Yulan seemed to be in the position of a savior. She believed that she was doing the right thing and helping her loved ones escape from the clutches of evil.

However, she did not receive the response she had imagined.

"Yu Lan, I don't know who told you about our relationship, nor do I understand why you called me."

"Then let me ask you one more thing. Li Xiu gave you ten days to return to China, otherwise I might have met with misfortune. Why didn't you come back?"

Qiao Yulan's heart skipped a beat.

She hadn't forgotten about the ten-day deadline, but she hadn't taken it to heart either.

She admitted that she had received care from Jiang Tian in her early years, but she could not sacrifice her life for a relative who was not very close to her.

If she goes back to China, she will have no way to survive.

Qiao Yulan is inherently a selfish person, and she admits to her selfishness. She doesn't need to give up herself for others.

However, no matter how well she thought it out, she still felt somewhat guilty when Jiang Tian asked her.

"Auntie, don't blame me. I have to live for myself first. Li Xiu wouldn't hurt innocent people. He was just trying to scare me."

"Yes, I understand your choice, but why can't you understand me? Has my being with Li Xiu hurt you?"

"As my family, you couldn't come back when I needed help, and now you want to criticize my life. Don't you think you're being unreasonable?"

Qiao Yulan looked at her phone, disbelief flashing in her eyes. Was this still her gentle and submissive aunt?

How could she say such a thing!

"I mean well, don't wrong me. He's not right for you. If you two get together, your life will be ruined."

What is poison to one is honey to another. My life is in my own hands, and no one can destroy it.

"Qiao Yulan, you yourself said that Li Xiu wouldn't harm the innocent. He's at least not a bad person. I won't get involved in any conflicts between you two. And please don't interfere in my affairs with him either."

"Auntie..."

Qiao Yulan was speechless for a moment.

She didn't understand why her warnings were completely ineffective; Jiang Tian seemed determined to be with Li Xiu.

"Auntie, how about this, I can't explain it clearly over the phone. I'll be going back to China in a while, and then I'll talk to you in detail."

"You...you should keep your distance from him for now, or you'll regret it..."

Fearing that Jiang Tian might say something hurtful, Qiao Yulan quickly hung up the phone.

Turning off her phone, Jiang Tian turned to look at Li Xiu beside her.

His face was pale.
