With her hair tied up and secured with a simple hairpin, Li Xueqing, dressed in a dark-colored cheongsam, exuded gentle elegance.
Before seeing Ye Li, there was still a hint of apprehension and unease in his eyes.
Upon seeing Ye Li, a smile appeared on Li Xueqing's face.
In an instant, she seemed to transform back into the noble and elegant Madam Ye of the past.
Ye Li felt her blood freeze the moment she saw her mother.
What she feared finally happened.
"Mrs. Ye, it's been a long time!"
"Madam Ye has arrived..."
"Madam Ye, please accept my condolences!"
Bang!
Ye Li's eyes narrowed sharply; she heard the sound of her heart exploding.
"mom……"
Ye Li quickly stepped forward and took Li Xueqing's arm. "Let's go home, okay?"
The banquet hall was completely silent.
Take a look at Li Xueqing.
Then look at Ye Li, whose eyes are red and look like she's about to cry.
The group looked at each other, and a bold guess popped into their minds simultaneously.
Everyone knows that Li Xueqing fell ill after Ye Mushen's death and stayed in the hospital for a long time before returning home.
But now, looking at Ye Li's anxious and tearful appearance, it seems that Li Xueqing not only doesn't know that she broke off her engagement with Zhou Hechen and married Fu Yanci, but also doesn't know that her husband has passed away.
Wow, that's exciting!
Those gathered in front were momentarily bewildered.
Those behind them, knowing no one could see them, all watched with expressions of amusement.
In the stillness, Li Xueqing gently patted Ye Li's hand.
Her gaze shifted from her exquisite makeup and hair to her haute couture gown. Li Xueqing spoke again, as proud and self-assured as ever, "Ali looks so beautiful today. She should look this beautiful every day from now on."
Ye Li was taken aback.
Li Xueqing explained softly, "Today is Madam Zhou's birthday. My mother and she have been sisters for most of our lives. How can I not come and give a gift when it's my sister's birthday? Also... the gift Madam Zhou gave you for your birthday two years ago, I'm bringing it here to return to her."
The grand and lively celebration of Ye Li's 18th birthday is still vivid in the minds of everyone in the banquet hall.
That day was not only her birthday, but also her engagement party with Zhou Hechen.
The Ye and Zhou families held an extremely grand and lavish event.
That banquet was the headline news on the entertainment news that day.
When Fu Minghui put the bracelet on Ye Li's wrist and jokingly said it was both a birthday gift and a betrothal gift, all the guests heard it clearly.
The engagement party was lively, with applause and laughter, resembling a wedding banquet.
From that day on, everyone in the wealthy families of the capital knew that Ye Li was the future Mrs. Zhou.
At this moment, Li Xueqing brought up the old matter again, and everyone almost subconsciously looked towards Fu Yanci.
The Ye and Zhou families had been friends for decades. After the engagement, the two families became even closer, like one big family, and they would always get together for holidays.
Zhou Hechen is the son-in-law chosen by Ye Mushen and Li Xueqing.
Ye Li and Zhou Hechen have been inseparable for so many years.
How will Li Xueqing, whose family has suffered a great change, view Fu Yanci?
In the very center of the crowd, Fu Yanci hadn't moved an inch since Li Xueqing entered.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Li.
The girl's eyes were terribly red; if she hadn't been holding back, she probably would have burst into tears right now, hugging Li Xueqing.
Just a moment ago he was confidently assuring her, "Ah Li, don't worry."
In the blink of an eye, a bolt of lightning struck.
Fu Yanci really wanted to go up to her and say, "Ali, I'm sorry!"
Fu Yanci dared not act rashly, not knowing the extent of Li Xueqing's recovery.
My mind is racing; I'm still thinking about what I can do.
Li Xueqing's voice rang out before her eyes, "Yan Ci..."
Fu Yanci suddenly looked up.
