After the farce, the guests wisely left, leaving only Xiao Jinnian, Yu Yin, and Qin Shaoan in the venue.
Ji Yan sat dejectedly on the round platform, the former brilliance long gone from his dark pupils.
"Ayan, stop torturing yourself," Xiao Jinnian sighed, walking to Ji Yan's side to try and pull him up, but he couldn't budge him.
He could understand Ji Yan's feelings. The sight of countless homes lit up with lights, lovers everywhere, while he alone was missing someone day and night—that feeling was worse than death.
"I told you long ago, either don't fall in love, or cherish the other person. But you wouldn't listen. Now you're all a bunch of freaks. What's the use of regretting it now?"
Yu Yin can be said to be the most serious person when it comes to relationships. He has never lacked women in his life, but he never falls in love. Once the person who moves his heart appears, he will completely settle down and will not let anyone hurt the woman he likes.
Unfortunately, neither Ji Yan nor Xiao Jinnian understood this. Although they seemed to have the upper hand, they were actually the ones who suffered the most.
Qin Shaoan smoothed out the wrinkles in his trousers and slowly walked over, looking sympathetically at the two increasingly forlorn figures on the round platform.
"It's hard enough to comfort one person, don't drag the other one into it too."
Yu Yin looked at Qin Shaoan with a half-smile, "You're still young and don't understand what love is. Take my advice: when you meet someone you like, try to lower your pride. Don't be stubborn like them and drive them away."
"I'm only two years younger than you, I can't be bothered to talk to you. I'd better have a few drinks with them." Qin Shaoan muttered to himself, picking up his phone to reserve a private room.
Suddenly, a message popped up at the top of the screen about the real and fake heiress of the Lu family, and curiosity drove him to click on it.
It turns out that the Yun Yao from three years ago was fake, and the one at today's return banquet is the real one. He swiped his finger down slowly.
He clicked on a photo to enlarge it, exclaiming, "My God, Brother Yan, Brother Yan, take a look at this woman!"
He scrambled to Ji Yan's side, phone in hand, but before he could even bring the phone to his face, Yu Yin grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
"Are you looking for death? You dare to introduce women to him at a time like this?"
Qin Shaoan pried open the hand that was gripping him and said unhappily, "Who wants to introduce women to him? I've already found Yingying."
"What?" Ji Yan, who had been immersed in his own world, finally showed some emotion. Was it Yingying?
"Brother Yan, I really did look for Yingying, look."
Ji Yan quickly snatched the phone; the person in the picture was indeed the woman he had been thinking about for three whole years.
He carefully scrolled through the messages about her, his hands gripping his trembling phone. "The Lu family's daughter? How could she possibly be the Lu family's daughter?"
Looking back on the past three years, he had sent people to assassinate the Lu family's daughter countless times, but fortunately, the previous one was a fake.
He would regret it for the rest of his life if he really hurt Yingying.
"Han Xiao, prepare the plane. We'll be heading to Country A in ten minutes."
Country A.
Ji Fuying sat lazily in the VIP seat, and it was clear from her eyes that she was genuinely tired.
She glanced indifferently at the doorway and grumbled sullenly, "If this guy doesn't come soon, I'm going back."
Just then, a commotion arose at the door, and her furrowed brows immediately relaxed. They had finally arrived.
She walked unhurriedly toward the door in her high heels, where the place was already packed with guests.
She stood a short distance away with her arms crossed, looking smug. It was too crowded; she'd better wait for him to squeeze out on his own.
Now she finally understands why he doesn't like going out; she probably would feel the same way if she were in his shoes.
Ten minutes later, the white figure finally emerged and immediately spotted the woman leaning against the wall, smiling faintly.
His steady voice carried a hint of amusement, "I came all this way to your comeback banquet, and you just watched me get mobbed by people?"
"I am deeply grateful that Your Excellency the President has graced my homecoming banquet with your presence, but I am powerless to do so."
Looking into the eyes of those daughters of prominent families, she knew that she had once again been unwittingly treated as a potential enemy.
President of Country A, Mo Shiyan.
Today I am twenty-eight years old. I am decisive and resolute in my actions, handsome, with a pair of phoenix eyes that exude nobility, and I have a lazy and nonchalant temperament.
He can be said to be the dream lover of all the girls in Country A. After all, who could resist such an outstanding man? Perhaps only Ji Fuying could.
"Wan Jing, wasn't this woman said to be from a remote, impoverished area? How could she know our President?" The question came from the same woman in the yellow dress from before.
Everyone knows that Su Wanjing has already taken Mo Shiyan as her possession, yet this woman still dares to openly seduce the president.
This is going to be interesting; he brought this on himself, so he has no one else to blame but himself.
Su Wanjing watched the backs of the man and woman, her chest heaving with increasing intensity.
Mo Shiyan is her man, and no one can take him away. "Lu Suisui, I underestimated your ambition. It turns out you want the same thing as me. We'll see if you have the luck to achieve that."
Twenty years ago, the Lu family was indeed at its zenith, a force to be reckoned with. However, after twenty years of settling down, the Lu family's power and influence have diminished considerably.
On the contrary, the Su family has risen rapidly during this period. Now, they are just one step away from being able to stand on equal footing with the Lu family. And that opportunity is Mo Shiyan.
Therefore, whoever has their eye on Mo Shiyan will become the Su family's greatest enemy, and will only face certain death.
Mo Shiyan can only be hers.
Although Su Wanjing didn't speak, the woman beside her understood the meaning in her eyes, "Then shall we use the old method?"
"Xiaoyu, as long as you help me get this done, I will help you solve the cash flow problems of your father's company."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu immediately burst into laughter. She had been by Su Wanjing's side for so long to help her family overcome their difficulties. If she could accomplish this, she would be the family's greatest contributor, and everyone would have to think highly of her.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done." Chen Xiaoyu was about to leave when Su Wanjing called her back.
"Wait, lure Zhou Xin over there."
Chen Xiaoyu didn't know why she suddenly specified Zhou Xin, but she still nodded in agreement.
Watching Chen Xiaoyu's departing figure, Su Wanjing slowly smiled. She knew some inside information: Zhou Xin had just contracted a shameful disease.
Once Lu Suisui catches his charm, not only will no one in the entire country of A dare to marry her, let alone Mo Shiyan.
She was actually quite looking forward to it, but she hoped Chen Xiaoyu wouldn't mess things up, otherwise... she wouldn't be able to handle her anger.
Just then, Chen Xiaoyu, who had just left, returned and calmly nodded to Su Wanjing.
Then, holding the wine glass, he walked towards Ji Fuying, knowing he had a way to force her to drink it.
