“We’re finally here!”
The Li family arrived at the Lan family’s private helipad in Shanghai, and Li Xun walked down with his family.
Li Yulan and her group went over to greet them, revealing the most sincere smile she had seen in a while: "Dad! Mom!"
Li Xun nodded with a smile. Madam Li beside him reached out and held her daughter's hand: "How old are you? And you're still acting like a child?"
Then he looked her up and down, his face showing heartache: "I see why you have lost weight again. Isn't Xixi already in charge of the company?"
"Hmph! Lan Xi's personality can manage the company well, but Third Sister will probably have to manage both the company and her!" A woman wearing a loose Chinese cheongsam frowned and sneered. She reached out and pinched Li Yulan's shoulder, then said sarcastically, "You're just holding on. The Li family can't afford to support you? You're so concerned about other people's affairs all day long!"
"Yuling!" Li Xun frowned slightly and interrupted her with a look of disapproval.
The person speaking is Li Yuling, Li Yulan’s older sister, who is now the CEO of the Li family’s company!
Li Yulan pulled her sister back and said with a smile, "I haven't had much of an appetite during this period of time due to the changing seasons. It has nothing to do with Xixi. The company is running well, and I'm basically halfway through it."
Li Yuling didn't believe her sister's words. She snorted coldly, "You just speak for her. The things she did have spread all over the capital. A girl doesn't learn her lesson and follows her father's example of keeping a gigolo!"
"Enough! Why are you saying this!" Li Xun looked at his little daughter's face and interrupted her again with a scolding tone.
The moment Li Yuling was interrupted, she thought to herself that it was not good. What could she say? How could she talk about this matter?
Li Yulan didn't react at all. She held her mother's arm and her sister's hand, a smile on her face: "I asked Aunt Liu to prepare lunch, and we can eat when we get home!"
The matter between father and daughter could no longer affect her mood. What Aunt Zhong said was right. Lan Xi had now achieved her goal, and the rest had nothing to do with her.
"Where's Xixi? Why didn't she come?" Li Yuzhen, the eldest sister who had been silent for a long time, glanced at the crowd and frowned slightly.
Li Yulan looked at her sister: "She has a party to attend tonight, so she won't be coming!"
"It's the party tonight, why bother with what's going on now! You too! Let her be lazy!"
Li Yuling couldn't help but mutter again. She had always looked down on Lan Xi, and the incident that year had always been on her mind. Her younger sister could have lived a carefree life, but because of her suggestion, she had to work hard for the Lan family for so many years.
Li Yulan gently squeezed her sister's hand: "She still has to prepare the dress and other things, and she also has things to do at the company. It's normal that she is too busy."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Yuling saw her sister defending Lan Xi, so she had to accommodate her: "I'm hungry, let's go back quickly and eat and rest!"
Lan Xi was eating in the office when she found out about this. She didn't say anything, but just smiled sarcastically.
"Miss, when will we go back tomorrow?" Zhu Lingling asked while sitting opposite Lan Xi.
Lan Xi stirred the soup with a spoon and thought for a moment: "Let's go back for lunch!"
"For the dinner tonight, the Yang family came to ask when the young lady would arrive so that they could prepare in advance!" Zhu Lingling felt that the Yang family was being a bit unnecessary. It made no sense for the host to ask when the guests would arrive when hosting a banquet.
Lan Xi also found it curious and raised an eyebrow at Zhu Lingling, "Isn't it just an ordinary banquet? Why are you interfering with when the guests will arrive?"
Zhu Lingling took a look at the list of attendees and found no unusual people.
Looking at Zhu Lingling's eyes, Lan Xi knew that there was no problem. She was not stupid and would have screened out any problems in advance.
"Just find any dress, no need to be too formal, we'll just go through the motions and then come back!" Lan Xi explained. She didn't want to go to the Yang family in the first place, and what Yang Ning did still disgusted her.
Zhu Lingling nodded in agreement and walked out with the packed lunch box. "Oh, by the way, Shi Tinghan went abroad and arrived at noon today, just in time for Qin Xiangnan to get off work!"
Lan Xi looked up in surprise. How could a workaholic like Shi Tinghan actually skip work? She hadn't realized he was so deeply involved.
Seeing that Lan Xi didn't say anything, Zhu Lingling left the room and turned around to see Li Qian standing not far away, glancing at the office from time to time.
Seeing Zhu Lingling coming over, she didn't hide away as usual. Instead, she leaned over and whispered to her, "Lingling, is Miss Lan in a good mood today?"
Zhu Lingling frowned and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
Li Qian hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled Zhu Lingling to a place where the surveillance camera couldn't see her. "Someone has installed a monitoring device on this young lady somewhere. You..."
"The lady already knows about this matter, don't worry about it!" Zhu Lingling suddenly interrupted her, threw down a sentence and turned away.
"Already know?" Li Qian repeated blankly, and her body suddenly shuddered. She remembered that Zhu Lingling did not seem to lower her voice when she spoke.
She walked out slowly and looked at the empty flat. No wonder no one cared where she went. Lan Xi did it on purpose!
Cheng Chiyan was called back to attend the dinner. Miss Lan, the sponsor, said that it was only two hours and there was still time available.
The Yang family holds banquets in their own manor. This manor was bought by Old Man Yang when the Yang family was at its peak, and it has been more than 20 years since then.
When Lan Xi arrived, the manor's steward was already waiting at the door. When he saw her, a smile appeared on his face: "Miss Lan, you're here!!"
Cheng Chiyan helped Lan Xi get out of the car, and the two of them stood together, looking very well-matched.
"Uncle, why did you come out? We can just go in by ourselves!" Lan Xi smiled politely and took Cheng Chiyan's arm in hand into the villa.
