The light emanating from the priceless sapphire and white diamond ring on Yi Yi's finger stung her eyes, making her wish she could snatch it away and possess it immediately.
Although Yi Yi's words were indeed a bit infuriating, Mu Wenya knew she was telling the truth, so she smiled and smoothed things over, "Yi Yi, you might not understand, but this ring is something every woman in the world wants to own. It symbolizes eternity, uniqueness, and focus, embodying romance, luxury, depth, and love all in one. Tell me, which woman wouldn't be tempted? It's just that you're so clueless; you've broken someone's heart. Let me tell you, I just don't have the means, otherwise I would have already gotten this ring."
"This ring is so amazing." Yi Yi was stunned and tilted her head to look at Mu Nanxun. He looked at her with a smug look on his face, as if to say, "You only just realized that now? Aren't you really impressed with me?"
Yi Yi was genuinely startled. She had initially thought it was just an ordinary ring, but it turned out to be incredibly valuable and extraordinary. Especially after hearing Mu Wenya and Xia Bingqing's comments, she realized she had underestimated the ring. Good heavens, she wasn't wearing a ring, she was wearing multiple villas!

"Dad, tell me the truth. You told me before that you would send someone to fake an assassination attempt on Xun-gege so that I could save him and make him fall in love with me again. You were lying to me, weren't you?!"
After having afternoon tea in the courtyard, Xia Bingqing returned to her room and angrily called Xia Quan'an. Actually, ever since she saw Yi Yi wearing that ring, Xia Bingqing had lost all interest in afternoon tea.
"How could that be, daughter? How could you think that way? After all, Mu Nanxun almost became my son-in-law, and I've known his grandfather for so many years..."
"Don't lie to me! No wonder you asked me if I wanted the Mu family's assets and lied to me that you would make your move at midnight. Luckily, I accidentally ran into the assassin at ten o'clock that night, otherwise my brother Xun would have been killed by you, you know! Now the old man is back and he's ignoring me. They must have found out something!"
Xia Bingqing got angry at this point. This made it even more impossible for her and Xun-gege to get together, and it was all for nothing to benefit that little bitch Yi Yi! If it weren't for this whole thing her father arranged, she might have already won Xun-gege back, and she would be the one wearing that ring today!
Upon hearing this, Xia Quan'an on the other end of the phone could no longer keep up the act and lowered his voice, saying, "Anyway, what's done is done, and our family and the Mu family can't become in-laws anymore. If you're still Dad's good daughter, hurry up and come back. Don't stay at other people's houses all day and embarrass yourself."
"Dad..." Xia Bingqing shouted into the phone in dissatisfaction, "I don't want to go home, I don't want to leave Xun-gege. If I don't stay here and watch over Xun-gege, he'll be snatched away by some other vixen sooner or later! Dad, listen to me, apologize properly to Xun-gege and Uncle Mu, say that what happened before was a misunderstanding, and that our two families are still friends. If that doesn't work, if that really doesn't work, then give them half of our Xia Group..."
"Shut up!" Xia Quan'an was so angry that his liver hurt. How could his daughter help an outsider like this? He originally wanted everything from the Mu family and even sent assassins to kill Mu Nanxun. Not only did he fail to kill him, but his own daughter actually wanted him to hand over half of the Xia family's assets. How could he have such an ungrateful daughter!
