Before Sun Suyun answered the phone, Sun Zheng stopped Sun Suyun and gave his daughter a heads-up in advance.
"Yun'er, no matter what Lin Jing says to you later, don't get excited. No matter what happens, your father will support you and will not let you suffer any loss, understand?"
Sun Suyun looked at Sun Zheng strangely: "Dad, what are you talking about? Aunt Lin likes me so much, how could she let me suffer?"
After saying that, he answered the phone.
Sun Suyun pinched her throat and spoke in what she thought was a sweet voice: "Auntie, I'm Yun'er. Long time no see. How are you feeling recently?"
Lin Jing's voice was cold and emotionless, with no other emotion in it. "I'm fine. Did you receive the invitation to the Luo family cruise charity dinner?"
Sun Suyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and the smile on her face became even wider: "Auntie, is it that you specially asked the Luo family for an invitation letter for me?"
Lin Jing sneered: "Otherwise, what do you think? Now, apart from our Pei family's eldest branch, who else is willing to take care of your affairs? Who else can take care of your affairs?"
Although Sun Suyun felt a little unhappy when she heard this, she still pretended to be well-behaved and considerate.
"Auntie, you are so kind to me. Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
"That's good. Dress appropriately when the time comes. You're still A-Yan's fiancée, and your every word and action represents our eldest wife. Don't do anything that embarrasses us."
"Don't worry, Yun'er will definitely keep your words in mind!" Sun Suyun agreed.
"Well, prepare well."
Without waiting for Sun Suyun to continue the conversation, Lin Jing hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Suyun excitedly took Sun Zheng's arm and said, "Dad, did you hear that? It was my aunt who got the invitation for me. She also recognized me as her future daughter-in-law and asked me to behave well!"
Sun Zheng, however, was full of suspicion. Could Lin Jing be so kind?
"Dad, this dinner is very important to me. The Pei family's haute couture dress is my battle armor. You must buy it for me!" Sun Suyun shook Sun Zheng's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Dad, I think this dinner is Aunt Lin's final test for me. As long as she sees my status and value in the socialite circle, she will immediately prepare a wedding for Ayan and me!"
Sun Zheng was obviously not as optimistic as Sun Suyun.
"Yun'er, do you remember what Dad told you before? From what the Shen family said, Lin Jing is planning to cancel the engagement. How could she be so kind as to get an invitation just for you?"
"Dad always feels that there is something inexplicably strange about this matter."
Sun Suyun curled her lips and said, "Dad, you said this on purpose because you don't want to buy me a dress."
"You heard the call just now. Auntie was so kind to me!"
"I think it's because Old Lady Shen can't stand seeing me doing well that she deliberately said the Pei family wanted to cancel the engagement, hoping that I would give up. I'm not that stupid!"
Sun Zheng shook his head. "As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. We must be fully prepared and find a way to force Lin Jing to let you marry us."
Sun Suyun blinked excitedly: "Dad, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly!"

Jingshi Hutong, Yunxi Jade Shop.
Lin Jing walked into the store wearing a black sports shirt and a black baseball cap.
Soon a clerk came up to greet her and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am, what kind of jade would you like to see?"
"I'm here to buy medicine." Lin Jing lowered her voice and whispered in the clerk's ear.
The clerk smiled and waved his hand: "Ma'am, I'm afraid you've made a mistake. This is a jade shop, not a pharmacy. There is a pharmacy across the street. You can go over and have a look."
Lin Jing pulled down her black mask and whispered in the shop assistant's ear, "The gurgling stream reflects the blue sky, and the valley breeze refreshes the heart. The gurgling water stirs my heartstrings, and the picturesque scenery lingers in my heart."
After hearing the secret signal, the clerk's attitude immediately changed. He pointed to the side door respectfully and said, "Dear customer, please follow me."
Lin Jing followed the clerk through a long corridor. The walls of the corridor were engraved with exquisite carvings and hieroglyphs that she could not understand.
At the end of the corridor is a vermilion lacquered door. The moment the door opened, Lin Jing had the illusion that he had traveled through the corridor of history and arrived in ancient times.
The house is filled with mahogany furniture that looks quite old. Orange oil lamps illuminate the murals in the room. A wisp of incense burns in the incense burner. Although you can't smell what it is, it is refreshing.
In front of the mahogany cabinet stood a man covered in black veil.
"The manager is inside, please come in, ma'am." The clerk stood at the door and made a "please" gesture.
Lin Jing had just stepped into the room. Although she was still quite far away from the man, she heard his voice reach her ears: "What medicine would you like to buy, sir?"
Lin Jing was shocked.
Rumor has it that Yunxi Jade Shop is the largest pharmacy on the black market, able to make all kinds of medicine imaginable, and anyone with money can buy it.
There are even more outrageous rumors that the owner of Yunxi Pharmacy is a god who has been reborn and is omnipotent.
"I want to buy a drug that is colorless and tasteless, can cause hallucinations when taken, and cannot be detected. Do you have it?" Lin Jing deliberately said something outrageous.
Technology is so advanced nowadays, how could there be drugs that cannot be detected?
The store manager smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course, it depends on whether you can afford the price."
Lin Jing was shocked: "You really have it? How much does it cost?"
The store manager held up five fingers.
Lin Jing frowned: "Fifty thousand?"
The store manager shook his head. "Five million per bottle, effective for seven hours. Anyone who takes the medicine will do whatever you say."
