Seeing the sad smile spreading across Su Lanjing's lips, Gu Yao asked indifferently, "What are you laughing at?"

"If Yiyi were still alive..." Su Lanjing's words had just come out of her mouth when she saw Gu Yao's eyes suddenly widen and she closed her mouth.

Although she didn't know whether the person behind the scenes was Yiyi, even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, she couldn't let Gu Yao know that Yiyi might be alive.

"Brother Gu Yao, break up with that woman Yao Jing." She put on bright lipstick today and dressed very coquettishly. When she smiled, there was something wicked in her smile.

"You know, when I'm mad, I can do anything."

Gu Yao didn't take her threat seriously.

"You won't do that." He said firmly.

Su Lanjing is a person who is so rational that she is cold-blooded. She would rather endure the current situation than ruin her future for the so-called dignity or a momentary impulse.

Everything she had obtained through all means and efforts, she would not easily let her hard work go to waste.

Gu Yao's understanding of human nature is perfect, and she doesn't have the courage to do so.

Su Lan stared at him silently, and finally, her heart was filled with despair because he won the bet.

Su Lanjing would not reveal Gu Yao's shameful deeds unless she was in a desperate situation, because those secrets were her last trump card.

"Since you don't intend to take the initiative to break up with her, then I will deal with it myself." After Su Lanjing said this, she stood up, held her pregnant belly, and walked up the stairs.

Gu Yao stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table, pondered for a moment, then stood up, took his suit jacket, and walked out of the villa.

Although he couldn't guess Su Lanjing's intentions, Gu Yao was not worried.

Su Lanjing was not someone he cared about, and neither was Yao Jing.

He left the villa and drove to an upscale residential area in the city center.

This is where he lives alone, and it was also the place he brought Su Lanyi to most often.

At the entrance of the hall, there are two pairs of slippers, one pair is gray cotton slippers, and the other pair is blue slippers with rabbit ears. Su Lanyi prefers those cute, soft and colorful little objects.

She always prefers bright and vivid colors for her clothes, and every accessory she chooses is brightly colored.

She was like a little sun, dispelling the darkness hidden in Gu Yao's heart and leading him out of the haze and into the sunshine.

Gu Yao's gaze swept across the pair of slippers, and a hint of pain flashed across his eyes.

He opened the refrigerator door and his eyes fell on the expired cherry drink. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, as if it was nostalgia, regret or sadness, which made his eyes a little hot.

Yiyi has a special liking for cherry-flavored items. In the past, no matter which apartment he lived in, he would always have the habit of placing this cherry drink.

He drank the ice water, then turned around and opened the closet door, his eyes falling on two bathrobes, one long and one short, hanging side by side inside.

These two bathrobes seemed to be witnesses of their past life together, but now they became a symbol of loneliness. His heart couldn't help but ached violently.

He was acutely aware that every inch of the apartment was filled with evidence of his and Yiyi's life together.

Whenever his eyes touched these items, the good times he had spent with Yiyi in the past would replay in his mind like a movie.

When I see you, my heart is tormented; when I don’t see you, I miss you like waves.

Gu Yao is about to collapse!

Among the family forces in the capital, in addition to the three well-known wealthy families, there are also low-key old families, and the Xie family is one of them.

Among the many prominent families, most of them use business as a symbol of inheritance, but the Xie family is famous for having served in the military from generation to generation.

It was only in the past decade or so that the younger generation of the Xie family began to venture into the business world.

Among the many younger generations of the Xie family, Xie Sichen of this generation is undoubtedly the most outstanding.

He enjoys a high reputation within the family and outside.

Of course, his reputation is comparable to that of the second master of the Yu family. Both are ruthless people, but he has an additional reputation for being romantic.

It is said that he once loved a girl very much, held her in his heart and treated her like a treasure, but later he ruthlessly sent her to prison with his own hands, and now he is involved with that girl's sister.

Xie Shiqi, the granddaughter of the Xie family, successfully obtained admission to Princeton University, which is something worth celebrating!

Since the Xie family does not often hold social banquets, everyone is willing to attend when one happens to show respect.

After the head of the family, Xie Shibo, gave his approval, Ms. Wang Jiayin, Xie Shiqi's mother, carefully planned this luxurious banquet and invited many guests to attend.

Many noble families received invitations, and the Xie family knew how to handle interpersonal relationships.

Invitations were sent to the younger generations of all the major families. Yu Zhiyan was also invited, but as the company's chief executive, his current work schedule was very tight and he could not spare time to attend the banquet.

The banquet will be held in the Xie family manor. After entering the main gate of the Xie family and walking inside for a few minutes, you will arrive at the courtyard.

The banquet was filled with gorgeous costumes, fragrant aromas, the clinking of wine glasses, and a lively atmosphere.

Xie Shiqi appeared at the reception in a wine red high waisted backless dress, with her hair draped over her shoulders and paired with smooth and shiny pearl earrings. Her fair skin looked even more delicate and flawless under the light.

Xie Shiqi stood next to her mother, looking like a peerless beauty, dazzling.

Although Ms. Wang Jiayin is over 40 years old, she still maintains a tall figure and beautiful appearance. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes are only part of her charm, making her look more mature and charming.

Jiang Youling looked at Ms. Wang Jiayin and thought to herself that as a woman, she should be like her, so as not to live her life in vain.

Seeing Jiang Youling coming, Wang Jiayin led her daughter and walked towards her gracefully.

"Miss Jiang, you're here!"

Jiang Youling gave Wang Jiayin a proper smile, greeted her, and then said to the girl next to Wang Jiayin, "Congratulations, Shiqi."

In order to celebrate Xie Shiqi's academic achievement, Jiang Youling carefully selected a red diamond platinum necklace suitable for a girl as a gift.

It’s the same color as the skirt she’s wearing today.

This necklace is very popular among little girls. Xie Shiqi took the gift, opened the box and took a look. Surprise flashed in her eyes, and she thanked Jiang Youling very politely.

Ms. Wang Jiayin was not familiar with Jiang Youling, so she politely chatted with Jiang Youling for a few words.

Jiang Youling noticed that other guests had arrived, so she found a reason to say goodbye to the mother and daughter and left.

Jiang Youling took the cup from the waiter, which contained a colorful cocktail. She walked quickly to the corner and took a sip.

Jiang Youling looked around at the people at the banquet and recognized a few familiar faces as expected.
