There was a large round table in the room, and many people were already sitting at it. Ji Huaizhi was standing by the window with his back to them.

The young girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old and looked familiar. She was wearing a school uniform, with her hair loose and pinned neatly behind her ears with a rose-shaped hairpin. She stood coquettishly beside Ji Huaizhi, her head tilted back, her eyes shining as she spoke to him.

Ji Huaizhi had his back to the door, his head slightly tilted. Under the shadow of the light, one could only vaguely see his straight nose and the peaks of his eyebrows that reached his temples. He looked like he was listening attentively.

Chen Gang walked in first and called out, "Boss."

Hearing the sound, Ji Huaizhi turned around, raised his cool peach blossom eyes, and a hint of smile appeared on his originally bored expression. He said in a calm voice: "I am coming."

Following Ji Huaizhi's "Here she comes," the others all looked over here, and someone said, "Here comes the bride!"

The young girl also turned around and looked at them, then raised a bright smile at the corner of her mouth and leaned towards Ji Huaizhi without leaving a trace.

Li Yang looked at Ji Huaizhi's calm demeanor, then glanced at the young girl who was looking at him without any hesitation, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It turns out that what the boss meant by "having something to do" was that he was here to accompany a beautiful woman.

Before she could think about it, Ji Huaizhi had already walked towards them, and the people sitting at the table also stood up and greeted her.

Li Yang then realized that most of the people who came tonight were elders and village leaders who lived in the hunting village and had considerable influence. Among them were two young men with unfamiliar faces. They bent over and called her "sister-in-law" in a loud and imposing manner.

It was one thing for Chen Gang to call her that in private, but it was another thing for a stranger to call her that in front of everyone, especially so loudly, which made everyone laugh. Even Li Yang, who had developed a thick skin, couldn't help but blush.

She is a fake and really doesn't deserve it.

"We're all acquaintances, just having a meal together, just treat it as a celebration, no need to be formal." Ji Huaizhi saw her embarrassment and gently put his arm around her waist: "Come and sit."

Li Yang tried hard to ignore the strange feeling on his waist and smiled at Ji Huaizhi: "Yeah."

Along the way, she asked Chen Gang twice why they went to the restaurant. Chen Gang said mysteriously that she would know when they got there. It turned out that they went to the restaurant to celebrate their marriage.

She originally thought that she was just using Ji Huaizhi to avoid Feng Mei, and they had agreed to divorce after a year, which was not something to be taken seriously. However, she never thought that he had never wronged her in any way.

Li Yang followed Ji Huaizhi to the main seat and sat down. On her left was Ji Huaizhi, on her right was Sister Qian, and next to Ji Huaizhi was Chen Gang.

The young girl originally wanted to sit next to Ji Huaizhi, but was stopped by Sister Qian: "Yunxiang, come here."

A hint of discomfort flashed across Yao Yunxiang's face, and she walked away in a low voice. The sound of pulling out the chair was a bit harsh, and she sat in her seat without saying a word.

Her little action did not attract anyone's attention, as they just thought that the little girl was being careless.

Sister Qian, on the other hand, smiled sheepishly at Li Yang and said, "My daughter has been spoiled since she was little. I'm sorry to have made a fool of herself."

Li Yang then remembered that the girl in front of him was Sister Qian's daughter, Yao Yunxiang.

She usually gets up early to go to work, and Yao Yunxiang also has to go to school, so the two rarely have the opportunity to meet. In addition, she is not a person who likes gossip. She only knows that Yao Yunxiang also lives in the hunting village and goes to school. She doesn't know much else.

Li Yang looked at Yao Yunxiang's youthful and energetic face, shook his head and smiled, "How could that be? On the contrary, I envy her."

Even in China, which has been undergoing reform and opening up, it is not common for daughters to go to high school in Guangzhou, especially in their hunting village which is gradually being urbanized.

After she was forced to drop out of school, she sometimes saw Yao Yunxiang riding a bicycle past her door and couldn't help feeling envious.

I envy her for being able to study and for having parents who love her, which allows her to be so unrestrained.
