“Really? I think the cut is great, it doesn’t look like the clothes I used to wear at all,” Xu Zhaoyue said, completely ignoring the fact that in her eyes Yue Lanxing looked handsome in anything.
The eldest daughter-in-law was pleased to hear her sincerity. "I had it made at home. I just made some changes to their drawings."
Xu Zhaoyue was surprised to find that her words touched her heart. The two chatted for a while longer before Xiao Nan came over to remind her of the time, and she realized it was time to leave. The young mistress then invited her to come visit often, and only then did she depart.
The journey was the same as the way there, except the temperature had dropped and a pleasant breeze made the return trip much more comfortable.
"Lanxing, think about what Brother Fang said again. We have the people and the gun, so the plan can't go wrong. I'm leaving this to you." After giving her instructions, Xu Zhaoyue went back to her room with Xiaonan.
Yue Lanxing watched the young lady walk into the villa, and as soon as her figure disappeared, she turned around and started discussing with the other two.
"Brother Yue, what did you hear in the tea room? I stood outside and didn't dare to listen carefully." Xue Huzi ran over excitedly, and even Tian Dai nodded in agreement with Xue Huzi's statement. He was also very curious.
Yue Lanxing looked around. This matter needed to be discussed in a secluded place. "Let's go find Li Qi and we'll talk about it in detail later."
After they found Li Qi, Yue Lanxing told them what Brother Fang had advised them: "As for the timing, we can take action in five days. There won't be any problems with the Fang family."
"That's great! The people you asked me to win over are already on our side. We definitely have enough manpower." Li Qi grinned, revealing his big teeth. His first job for the young lady was such a big operation, and he was overjoyed.
Yue Lanxing was well aware of his high level of enthusiasm. "Alright, the young lady will definitely see your abilities then."
They finalized their plans here, ready to go all out, while Xu Zhaoyue had already arranged to have afternoon tea with He Lianhua.
"Finally finished! There's been so much to do these past few days." He Lianhua's excited voice came through the receiver, showing that her busy schedule had been worthwhile.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded in agreement, then realized she was on the phone, a rather silly gesture. "Haha, as long as you've made some progress, that's all that matters. Now that you're done, are you going to come over for dinner?"
"Of course, I also have to go and apologize to your housekeeper in person. To be honest, I haven't been there for so long, I hope he's not complaining about me?" He Lianhua became happy, even asking Xu Zhaoyue about Yue Lanxing's feelings.
Xu Zhaoyue thought to herself that Yue Lanxing probably didn't have time to think about the He family's affairs, but she said aloud, "It's not like you didn't send things over. Besides, the allergy wasn't caused by the He family."
"Besides, you're my friend, why would he complain about you?" Xu Zhaoyue's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but feel happy when talking about Yue Lanxing.
He Lianhua was just saying it casually, but Xu Zhaoyue's answer made her feel smug for a while. "That's right, I'm the young lady's good friend, so I have to give her some face."
"Hey, are you teasing me too? It's been so many years and you're still saying that." Xu Zhaoyue laughed helplessly.
"I went to see you because I wanted to see who was putting on airs, but I didn't expect that you really lived up to your reputation. At that moment, the brilliance of the young lady dazzled my eyes."
He Lianhua was talking about their junior high school days. When Xu Zhaoyue transferred to the school, the family driver, bodyguard, and Aunt Wu all went to take her to school that very day. A child followed by three adults, who kept calling her "Miss," and she became famous on her very first day.
The young lady's reputation spread too quickly; within two days, the whole school knew about her. He Lianhua was also given a lecture by her underlings, which led to her taking people to confront the other party.
The moment they met, He Lianhua wanted to be friends with her. She couldn't help it; Xu Zhaoyue was just too beautiful. Having a friend like Xu Zhaoyue made one feel proud and confident.
However, Xu Zhaoyue didn't participate in their activities and just studied quietly by herself. Every time He Lianhua came to find her, she felt that she was wasting a good student's time, so she also started studying. Because of this, she was ridiculed by others. But when He Lianhua surpassed them, they couldn't laugh anymore.
"Who can blame me for being so charming? Oh, by the way, my younger brother is still at your house. Why don't you bring him over when you come? He needs to get ready for school," Xu Zhaoyue said.
He Lianhua knew Xu Zhaohao was at her house, but they didn't have time to meet. "Hey, that kid He Kaiyuan used the excuse of having guests at home to push all the work onto me. He's such a pushover."
"Oh dear, he can't do anything. You just want him to run around with you every day because you're too tired. Don't worry, he'll be able to help soon. I just found out he and Xiao Hao go to the same university."
“Yes, it’s good to have them look out for each other. But they’re just in Shanghai, and it’s only a few hours before they get home. Something can’t happen to them,” He Lianhua thought to herself.
Xu Zhaoyue was also thinking that apart from their father kidnapping him from school, there was nothing to worry about. "No way, aren't there bodyguards?"
"Oh, I forgot about that. Hey, let's not talk about them. I'll come find you tomorrow, and then we can go out and have some fun." He Lianhua hung up the phone after agreeing on a time with Xu Zhaoyue; she still needed to prepare a gift.
The next day, Xu Zhaoyue slept in late, perhaps because she was too tired the day before and needed more rest.
"Miss, when I went to the kitchen this morning, Yue Lanxing wasn't there." Xiao Nan helped Xu Zhaoyue get up, and the topic naturally turned to Yue Lanxing.
