However, it wasn't just the Hua family's decision; it was the district that didn't want her to go back. Even if she returned to the Ninth District in time, she might not be able to see Fu Guang, who was trapped in the no-man's land.
Fate plays tricks on people, and the gods show no mercy.
Chang Le gave a soft, almost self-deprecating laugh, turned and left, her hem tracing an arc in the wind, leaving behind the lingering scent of flowers.
Xiao Ye, who was waiting at the door, followed her into the reception room.
By now, everyone had arrived.
Chang Le noticed that the Meng family members who came were Mr. and Mrs. Meng and Meng Danruo's brother. Mrs. Meng had obviously been instructed beforehand, as she glanced at her and then lowered her head without saying a word.
Chang Le walked over, and Xiao Ye pulled out a chair for her before sitting down herself.
Upon seeing this, everyone except Hua Lihan's expression changed slightly.
Because Gu Lianghan had told her, Hua Lihan was the only one who knew that Fu Jiu and Chang Le were the same person. But the others didn't know, so in their eyes, it seemed that the mysterious new leader of the Dragon Sect was showing special care for Chang Le.

When he said, "I am willing to provide you with the best research equipment in exchange for technology investment three years later," Chang Le interrupted him: "Stop for a moment."
This was very impolite. The Meng family head's expression changed, but seeing that Fu Jiu remained silent, he patiently waited for her to speak.
"Before we start cooperating, let's settle all the old scores first."
Chang Le said calmly, "Madam Meng has wronged me by accusing me of being a criminal and spreading rumors everywhere. I am innocent, and she has agreed to issue a public apology."
"It's been months, where's your apology?"
