Jiang Yilai laughed and said, "This shouldn't be called manipulating, but rather like Jiang Taigong fishing—willing fish take the bait."

Fu Nanxiao was both amused and exasperated, and nodded meaningfully.

"You're absolutely right. I'm like a fish on your chopping board now, completely at your mercy."

"If that's the case, I'll just sell you off."

“You’re a lawyer, you should know that this kind of thinking is dangerous. Of course, I don’t mind being bought by you.”

"It's a shame you're not a lawyer with that mouth of yours."

The two smiled at each other. It had been a long time since they had been able to have such a pleasant chat. Now, after various adjustments, their relationship had become closer and closer, and they both knew that they could not live without each other.

Even though Jiang Yilai outwardly kept her distance, her lack of objection to Fu Nanxiao's approach was a form of approval.

Fu Nanxiao knew she had a lot to do tomorrow, and he couldn't bear to keep her too long, so he took her home after having a late-night snack.

As soon as Jiang Yilai got out of the car, he leaned out and said, "Lai Lai, I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

"Really, there's no need. I'm very happy that you're so kind. I'll keep you updated. See you tomorrow."

Jiang Yilai smiled and waved goodbye. She was confident that she could handle these things on her own and didn't need to worry him.

Seeing her determined expression, Fu Nanxiao secretly felt relieved.

He waited until the light in Jiang Yilai's room came on before leaving.

Qi Yuheng, sitting in the passenger seat, spoke up: "Boss, should we look into this?"

Yu Munian had indeed originally intended to do so, but upon recalling Jiang Yilai's gaze just now, he shook his head.

"Not for now. Keep an eye on things and report back if there are any new developments."

Since Jiang Yilai wants to rely on herself, let her handle it first.

If he had helped her from the beginning, it would have made Jiang Yilai feel like she was looking down on her.

Heaven knows how formidable this woman is in Fu Nanxiao's heart.

Jiang Yilai returned to her room but did not rest. Instead, she turned on her computer to check how the Mei Yin incident had progressed.

Seeing these posts constantly being forwarded and commented on, all with malicious remarks, gave her a headache.

Although this was not her own experience, Jiang Yilai sympathized with Mayin and hoped that she could receive love and understanding from her family and live a peaceful life in the future.

After all, these things weren't her fault; in the end, she was a pitiful person.

Jiang Yilai couldn't sleep well that night because she was thinking about these things. In the morning, she dressed up simply and went out.

Jiang Yilai didn't know why, but every time she went to the Gu family, she always had an indescribable feeling.

In the early years, apart from Gu Ming'en, the other members of the Gu family treated her badly, always feeling that she had stolen Fu Nanxiao and making things difficult for her in every way.

However, Jiang Yilai felt strangely that she never complained about them and was always inexplicably tolerant of the Gu family.

When Myne was in trouble, she decided to help without hesitation, but she didn't know how things turned out this way.

Jiang Yilai didn't feel responsible, so she needed to make things clear.

However, when Jiang Yilai arrived at the Gu family's house, she was surprised to find an ambulance parked at the door, and paramedics were lifting people into the vehicle.

Considering that Mrs. Gu's health wasn't very good, could it be that she was so upset after learning about this that she ended up in the hospital?

Jiang Yilai jogged up, only to see Old Mrs. Gu anxiously walking out. It turned out that the person being carried into the car wasn't her. Then who could it be?

Just as Jiang Yilai was about to step forward to inquire about the situation, she heard a stern reprimand.

"Jiang Yilai, how dare you show your face here? Look what you've done to Yinyin."
