The contents of the bag fell out; it was a beautiful silk scarf.
There's nothing strange about the silk scarf; it's just that whenever she made a mistake, Quan Ye would have someone add a silk scarf to her wardrobe the next day after punishing her.
He was warning her that the number of scarves in her closet represented the number of mistakes she had made.
So much so that she would feel apprehensive whenever she saw things like silk scarves later on.
It took Su Li a while to calm down. Suppressing her discomfort, she bent down to pick up the things and turned to go into the house.
My eyelids have been twitching a lot lately.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen, after all, she has already made a point of avoiding the Quan family's visit.

A few days later, Su Li attended the banquet with Xiao Yu as scheduled.
She wore a simple white dress and a white handbag. Her long hair was loosely tied up, with two slightly curled strands hanging down. Her skin was as white as snow. Although she did not wear any jewelry, she appeared even more pure, fresh, and naturally beautiful.
Xiao Yu was wearing a white suit jacket, and standing next to her, they looked like they were wearing matching outfits.
He glanced at their clothes and smiled with satisfaction, "Did we just happen to be wearing the same thing today?"
Su Li: "It's quite a coincidence."
Xiao Yu reached out her hand, gesturing for her to take his arm.
Su Li declined slightly, lifting her skirt and slowly walking inside.
Xiao Yu looked at her empty hand, smiled helplessly, and followed behind her.
"There will be many people attending the banquet tonight. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. And I'll stay by your side the whole night."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid."
"Did you often attend these kinds of banquets before?"
"fine."
Seeing her relaxed and natural demeanor, Xiao Yu felt relieved, as she had thought Xiao Yu would be afraid of this kind of occasion.
The banquet hall was already filled with people, all dressed in fine clothes, and all were members of Yucheng's elite.
As soon as Su Li entered, several men noticed her and subconsciously glanced at her a few more times.
"Let's come this way." Xiao Yu led her to a less crowded place with lots of delicious food.
Su Li took a glass of juice, looked up and glanced around, and suddenly her gaze settled on a figure in front of her.
Fu Zelian stood there, chatting with someone in an elegant and poised manner.
A waiter passed by and accidentally bumped into her while pushing a cart, spilling some of the drink onto her dress.
Su Li quickly moved to the side and looked down. She noticed that her white dress was a little dirty, but it wasn't obvious unless you looked closely.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," the waiter quickly apologized and went to help her wipe it.
"It's alright, no need," Su Li politely declined.
Xiao Yu asked with concern, "Are you alright? Or should I go with you to change your dress?"
"This won't make a difference, there's no need to change it."
"Then you stand here, it's safer here."
He came over and switched places with her, and even specifically told the waiters behind him to be careful.
"Young Master Yu, it's been a long time."
Several wealthy young women came over to greet Xiao Yu and offered her drinks warmly.
Xiao Yu glanced at Su Li and said, "Wait for me a moment, I need to say a few words to a few friends."
"good."
He turned around and walked aside to chat with several wealthy women, observing how attentive they were to him.
Xiao Yu's status must be quite high to attract so many wealthy women.
Su Li stopped looking and turned to sit down at the table.
What are you doing here?
Lin Qingqing, dressed in a black strapless fishtail dress, walked towards us with a captivating and alluring air.
