When Yu Chiyan and Su Yaoyao returned home, it was already afternoon.
Su Yaoyao was looking through the documents Huo Xiting had given her in the living room, while Yu Chiyan went straight into the study.
Yu Chiyan didn't come out of his study until bedtime. After thinking for a while, Su Yaoyao went upstairs and knocked on Yu Chiyan's study door.
"Yu Chiyan, are you done with your work? Time to sleep."
There was no sound coming from inside; it was so quiet it was as if no one was there. Su Yaoyao immediately frowned.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock, Yu Chiyan's somewhat indifferent voice came through the crack in the door.
"Yaoyao, you should go to sleep first. I still have some things to do."
Su Yaoyao was taken aback; "Chi Yan, what's wrong with you today? Is something bothering you at work?"
"It's alright, you rest first, I'll come as soon as I've finished taking care of things."
Since Yu Chiyan had said this repeatedly, Su Yaoyao couldn't say anything more.
"Then I'll go rest first. Chi Yan, don't work too late either."
After saying this, Su Yaoyao waited for a minute, but did not hear a reply from Yu Chiyan. A strange emotion flashed quickly in her eyes, and then she returned to her room alone.
Although the person lay down on the bed, they were not sleepy at all.
She was thinking about the relationship between Chen Feng and Chen Huimei, and her mind was in complete turmoil.
Chen Feng's mentor was Mr. Charlie, who treated her mother's illness and was a famous psychiatrist and neurosurgeon.
Previously, while investigating Su Qingqing's feigned illness, Huo Xiting inadvertently discovered that Chen Huimei had had financial dealings with Chen Feng for nearly ten years.
No.
To be precise, Chen Huimei's remittance was sent to Chen Feng's nephew, Chen He.
Chen He is the person lying in the hospital ward.
Su Yaoyao's mind was in turmoil, and she realized that she needed to meet with that person named Chen Feng again.
Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
She didn't know when, but the blanket was pulled back, a cool breeze came in, and a warm body pulled her into an embrace.
Sensing the familiar presence, Su Yaoyao murmured something, nestled her face against the man's muscular chest, and continued to sleep soundly.
In the pitch-black night, the man's dark eyes were fixed on Su Yaoyao's sleeping face, his expression quite complicated.
...
The next day, Su Yaoyao had just gotten off work when she received a call from Jiang Wen.
"Yaoyao, the Xiao family is holding a banquet and they sent me an invitation. What do you think, should I go?"
Su Yaoyao got into the car, her brows furrowing slightly upon hearing this; "What did your family say?"
“My parents said that if I don’t go, the Xiao family might be unhappy.”
Su Yaoyao thought for a moment; "Don't Jiang's parents know about your relationship with Xiao Qing and Jiang Wen yet?"
Jiang Wen remained silent for a long while before saying, "Yes, they don't know yet..."
Jiang Wen clenched his fists. If he knew about her entanglement with Xiao Qing and Jun Xian, he didn't even dare to imagine how the Jiang family would treat her.
"I reckon whether you go or not, Xiao Qing will probably find a way to cause you trouble."
"So you mean..."
Su Yaoyao narrowed her eyes; "Go, I'll go with you. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. You can't keep hiding forever. Some things are there, and you'll have to face them sooner or later."
Upon hearing that Su Yaoyao was going to accompany her, Jiang Wen's expression seemed to show relief.
"Okay, thank you, Yaoyao."
Su Yaoyao smiled and said, "We're practically family, no need to thank me."
The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
"Are you going to the Xiao family's banquet?"
Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Yu Chiyan immediately leaned closer.
Su Yaoyao looked up at him; "You also know about the banquet held by the Xiao family?"
Yu Chiyan nodded; "My secretary gave me the invitation this morning."
The patriarch of the Xiao family was having a birthday banquet, and almost all the celebrities and dignitaries in Nancheng were invited. If Jiang Wen wanted to avoid it, not only would the Xiao family be unhappy, but her parents would also not agree to her not attending.
After all, such occasions are the best opportunities to get acquainted with powerful and influential people.
"Don't worry, Junxian knows Xiao Qing's character. If anything happens, he will definitely protect Miss Jiang. Don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Su Yaoyao nodded, but the worry in her eyes did not diminish at all. You know, sometimes a woman's methods are enough to catch men off guard.
But then Su Yaoyao thought again. After all, it was the birthday banquet of the Xiao family patriarch, and Xiao Qing probably wouldn't do anything too outrageous. After all, if something bad happened, it would be the patriarch's banquet that was ruined.
Thinking this way, Su Yaoyao felt a little more at ease.
...
Time quickly came to the day of the Xiao family patriarch's birthday banquet.
The hotel where the banquet was held was packed with guests, all of whom were dressed in suits and ties, and wearing various exquisite formal wear.
As soon as Su Yaoyao entered the banquet hall, she attracted the attention of many prying eyes.
She wore a light purple dress, and her delicate, small face was lightly made up, making her even more radiant and beautiful. Her temperament was noble and elegant, like a princess who had stepped out of a royal family.
"This woman is Su Yaoyao, the woman Yu Chiyan proposed to!"
"I know that. I heard that the two divorced before, but President Yu went to great lengths to win her back."
"Tsk, now I finally understand why President Yu likes her. Look at that face, that figure, and that slender waist. How many people in Nancheng can compare to Su Yaoyao's beauty?"
