Bai You's beautiful back was reflected in Lu Yunxiao's eyes bit by bit. As she went away little by little, her whole body was reflected in his eyes.
A silver hair crown, a snowflake-shaped diamond necklace, and a huge red evening dress with a large back.
Silver high heels and slender ankles.
How come someone I haven't seen for two or three months has become so... charming?
Lu Yunxiao lowered his eyes, hiding the whiteness in his eyes.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he curled his lips calmly.
Then he took a step and walked in.
The woman following him looked at Lu Yunxiao who had already walked to the door, a hint of grievance and disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she pursed her lips.
She followed him, holding up her skirt.
Si Youli and Lu Yunxiao are arguably the top figures in the business world. Wherever they are, their gazes follow.
As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, before he had time to look for the two people who had just entered and disappeared, he was surrounded by the head of the Ye family, the organizer.
No one in the business world is simple-minded. They can plot against you behind your back, but on the surface, they can be brothers.
The greetings in the business world are always more shrewd than each other.
Bai You leaned on the table in the dessert area, looking at Yu Yan, who had a light makeup on.
She had been married for only half a year, but she had already changed so much that she was almost unrecognizable.
The eldest daughter of the Yu family used to be arrogant and confident, and she preferred bright colors, especially bright red.
A long red dress, exquisite makeup, clothes that are never worn a second time, and endless bags to carry.
She is the representative of the rich daughters of the entire upper class. No one's attitude can be taller than hers, and no one's appearance can be more dazzling than hers.
Speaking of the proud daughter of heaven, it must be Yu Yan.
But what about now?
Her heavy makeup was becoming increasingly dull, and her previous proud demeanor was almost gone.
The bright smile that always appeared on the corner of his mouth has now turned into a faint bitter smile, sometimes like a mockery.
This extreme gap made Bai You feel very uncomfortable.
Half a year, just half a year, and she has become like this.
Si Youli was very dazzling in the crowd. He was dressed in a suit and tie, and his every move exuded dignity. The woman next to him was as docile as a little bird, quietly staying by his side.
People who don’t know the truth would probably think that the woman is his new wife.
Bai You's eyes turned cold as he looked at Yu Yan, who had his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked, "What's going on with that woman?"
When Yu Yan heard Bai You's voice, he first raised his head in confusion, subconsciously hummed, and then reacted as if he realized it belatedly.
He uttered a low "oh," and said, "Her name is An Lan, she is...his girlfriend."
Bai You didn't expect her to say that. She suddenly laughed out of anger. She looked at Yu Yan and asked, "She's his girlfriend, but what about you? What are you? Huh? Who are you?"
Yu Yan raised his head and looked at Bai You. There was no sadness on his face, only numbness.
"This...was originally a deal between us. If the deal fails, this bargaining chip will naturally be useless. As for me, I'm just a defective product of a failed investment. I'm insignificant."
Bai You's eyes suddenly felt sore, not because of Yu Yan's words, but because of her... tone.
Loneliness, ridicule, mockery, and self-loathing.
This has nothing to do with that bright and beautiful young lady.
For six months, she really wanted to know what had happened to make the eldest daughter of the Yu family become what she is now.
The one who was in a miserable state was Yu Yan, but the one who remained calm was also her.
She seemed very tired, her tone was full of exhaustion, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Bai You was full of confusion.
"Xiao Xi, my family is almost gone. I'm almost... homeless. I... don't know how to save it. I've searched all my partners and investors. I even dressed provocatively and met with many... many officials. I want to find out what's going on."
"My parents didn't tell me anything. They told me they would go to jail, at least for ten years. But how could that be? Clearly... clearly a year ago, my family was still wealthy, and I was still the most favored daughter of the Yu family. How did it... become like this?"
Bai You knew that something happened to the Yu family, but he didn't expect it to be such a big thing.
Go to jail?
What kind of thing would lead to jail?
Or a couple?
How is that possible?
Bai You knew nothing about the disputes in the business world, but when it involved criminal matters, it was no longer a simple business matter.
But it involves the law.
Yu Yan's expression was very wooden. From beginning to end, there was no expression at all. There was no sadness, no grief, and no despair.
When talking about those things with Bai You, it seemed like I was telling other people's stories from an outsider's perspective.
All Bai You could feel was self-loathing.
What on earth had she gone through in these six months to become like this?
Bai You felt very blocked in her heart, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She looked at Yu Yan and whispered comfortingly, "There will be a solution, there will definitely be one, just take your time."
Yu Yan shook his head. "No, I've done everything I can. There's no other way for me to try."
Her road seemed to have reached a dead end.
Bai You opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say, nor did he know what he should say.
Jian Yichen was not interested in those hypocritical courtesies, so he came to Bai You secretly.
Bai You just looked at him as he walked towards her little by little.
Even when he doesn't speak, he's really good-looking, a cool and handsome guy.
But the moment he opened his mouth, his true nature was exposed.
"Ahem, well, the time is up. I don't need to be perfunctory with my old man anymore. Xiaoxi, let's go."
Bai You glanced at him and said indifferently, "Leave? Where to?"
Jian Yichen blinked and said, "Go home."
"Oh, I don't want to go back now. You go back first."
Jian Yichen: “…”
Bai You didn't expect that something would happen to Yu Yan while she was talking to Jian Yichen.
By the time everyone came to their senses, the man's heart-wrenching voice had already sounded in the dark corner.
Everyone's attention was drawn here, and everything in the dark corner was exposed to people's sight.
The collar of Yu Yan's evening gown was messy, and her neatly tied hair was scattered.
His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, his hands were clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood was seeping out bit by bit.
Because there were so many people and the light was dim, no one noticed.
But Bai You, who was particularly familiar with the smell of blood, came up with an idea.
She glanced at the man who was covering his head and looking at Yu Yan viciously, his eyes cold to the extreme.
An Lan was the first to speak, covering her mouth in surprise and yelling, "Oh my God, Miss Yu, you've been..."
Bai You narrowed his eyes and looked at her meaningfully.
