In truth, whether Li Qiaomeng could get out or not, or if something were to happen to her, Ye Xiyuan was completely indifferent. Otherwise, when Ye Anyun had asked for her help, she wouldnt have turned him down so decisively.

However, she now had a brilliant idea. Li Qiaomeng had been locked up for so long, and she may even face the threat of prison. It seemed that the person she hated the most right now should be Ye Lengan! As long as she used it wisely, this could be a very effective tool.

At this thought, a ruthless glint flickered in Ye Xiyuans eyes. After hearing Ye Xiyuans plans, both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin found themselves deep in thought. They seemed to be pondering the likelihood of such an approachs success.

After a long pause, Ye Li seemed somewhat swayed, but his face bore signs of hesitation. There is a certain logic to what youre suggesting. However, what if I manage to rescue Li Qiaomeng, and she continues to bother Anyun? What then? And Isnt Anyun dedicated to helping Li Qiaomeng? Will he let go of her that easily?

Dad, you should persuade Brother, Ye Xiyuan suggested. As long as you lay out the costs and benefits for him, he will surely know what to do. As for Li Qiaomeng, I will visit the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to see her. After all, if we genuinely intend to rescue her, we may need her cooperation.

After a moments contemplation, Ye Li finally nodded in agreement. Alright, Ill heed your advice this time. However, I will need to give your brother a piece of my mind.

Ye Xiyuan nodded her agreement. However, Lin Wanqin appeared somewhat concerned. Xiyuan, youre still recovering. Is now a good time to visit Li Qiaomeng? You dont need to rush. You can go once youve completely recovered.

Compared to Li Qiaomeng, who had already left a negative impression despite never meeting her, their daughters well-being was, of course, far more critical.

Mom, Im fully recovered now. Ye Xiyuan smiled, shaking her head before continuing, These were merely superficial wounds.

Despite her continued worries, Lin Wanqin chose not to persist in hearing Ye Xiyuans rea.s.surance.

At the Nangong familys residence, Murong Yanshu instructed the butler to issue invitations in her name for everyone to bear witness to her acknowledging a G.o.ddaughter after coming back.

Upon hearing Murong Yanshus instructions, the butler paused. Madam, will the invitation be sent out under your name and not the Nangong familys?

This surprise came because he remembered that the madam had intended to adopt the G.o.ddaughter under the familys name.

Ill use my name, Murong Yanshu said coolly. Ye Xiyuan saved me, so displaying my grat.i.tude is enough. Using the Nangong familys name will accord her too much honor.

Initially, she did plan to take Ye Xiyuan as G.o.ddaughter under the Nangong familys name. However, after Ye Xiyuan accepted today, she changed her mind. She had a good impression of this girl who had saved her, but she seemed too cunning.

Ye Xiyuan likely disliked her decision but masked her discomfort well. Despite her reluctance, upon hearing Xuyaos approval, she swiftly chose the kindest outcome for herself.

It wasnt to say that that decision was wrong. It simply left Murong Yanshu feeling uneasy. Admittedly, using the Nangong familys name to legitimize the adoption had its advantages, but it also held potential implications for the family. This realization led to her sudden change of heart.

After hearing Murong Yanshus response, the butler didnt dare push further. Instead, he set about choosing an auspicious date for the banquet.

Interrupted by an unforeseen incident last time, the New Years banquet could use this opportunity for a grand do-over, extending an invitation to the members of all major families.

While Murong Yanshu and the butler were discussing the plans, Nangong

Xuyao strolled in from outside.

His face was solemn, his emotions indiscernible.

Xuyao, youre back! Murong Yanshu waved at him. Come and sit down first..
