Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Deep in the woods, a luxurious courtyard loomed, like a forgotten miniature city. Several villas were scattered in an orderly manner, and the main building was even more magnificent, with a towering spire pointing straight to the sky, and solid stone walls flashing an ancient and mysterious light under the moonlight.

Helian Minxiao sat on the sofa in the study, flipping through a thick stack of documents. He gently put the documents aside, raised his eyebrows, and his blue eyes behind the glasses flashed with satisfaction.

"A Qian, how is Mao'er's mental condition?" He turned his head and asked Fu Jingyan beside him.

Fu Jingyan was looking down at the photo in his hand. He looked up when he heard the words, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. "It's much better now, but she still doesn't like to go out. She always likes to stay in the room alone." He replied softly.

Helian Minxiao nodded, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He walked to the table and looked at the photos scattered on the floor. The women in each photo were beautiful and charming, and each expression was heart-stirring.

He murmured softly, "It looks like our plan is about to succeed."

Lu Nanxu leaned on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his long fingers. He looked at Helian Minxiao with sharp eyes and asked, "But how can you be so sure that the Ji family will bring the baby over? If she doesn't come, won't we be in vain?"

Helian Minxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes. He said calmly: "If she doesn't show up, we will find another opportunity. But this time, I have a feeling that she will definitely come."

Zheng Haoqian came over holding a bottle of wine. He said with a determined smile, "Of course, how could the Ji family refuse an invitation from any one of our five forces? They will definitely come with their treasures."

Xin Mujing raised a wicked smile, making his originally stern face even more bewitching. He chuckled and said, "This banquet is not only to let the baby reintegrate into society, but also to consolidate the status of our five forces. The Ji family will not miss this opportunity."

The five people sat together, their eyes sparkling with determination and expectation. They knew that this banquet would be an important step for them to move towards the future together, and it would also be a stage for them to show their strength and influence. And that luxurious courtyard was their base camp.

……

The sun shines through the exquisitely carved window lattices and falls on the woman on the chaise longue. Ji Yan is half-lying lazily, her eyes drifting carelessly out of the window. Her skin, as delicate as white jade, becomes more transparent under the sunlight, and you can almost see the pale blue blood vessels under her skin. Her dense eyelashes flutter from time to time, making her watery eyes even more attractive. Her silky hair falls casually on her shoulders, adding a bit of charm to her.

Li Qing leaned against the door frame, looking at her daughter sitting in front of the window with a gentle gaze. She asked softly, "Yanyan, have you decided what to wear for the party the day after tomorrow?"

Ji Yan turned her head, her gorgeous red lips slightly raised, revealing a mischievous smile: "Mom, can I not go?" There was a hint of pleading in her eyes, as if she was expecting her mother's response.

Li Qing sighed softly, walked to Ji Yan, and gently stroked her hair: "No, Yanyan. If you stay at home like this, your body will collapse. Don't worry, mom and dad will be with you, nothing will happen."

Ji Yan lowered her head, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She knew her mother was telling the truth. She had been staying at home too much recently and was almost unwilling to go out. Doctor Su also said that if she continued like this, there might be problems.

Li Qing felt sorry for her daughter as she lowered her eyes. She understood her daughter's worries and uneasiness, but she also knew that she needed to go out and reintegrate into society.

"Okay, Yanyan. Don't worry, Mom will prepare everything for you. You just need to show up beautifully." Li Qing said softly. She lowered her head and kissed her daughter's forehead. "Don't worry, everything will be fine with Mom here."

Ji Yan raised her head and looked at her mother's gentle eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that her mother had been worrying about her. She didn't want to disappoint her mother, nor did she want to let herself go on like this.

"Okay, Mom. I'll go." Ji Yan said softly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Li Qing felt relieved when she saw her daughter regaining her spirits. She knew her daughter had made a decision, and she believed that she could bravely go out and face the world again.

"By the way, Yanyan, do you still remember the little girl we saw in the park that day?" Li Qing suddenly changed the subject, trying to make his daughter relax.

Ji Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Yeah, I remember. She was wearing a pink dress, so cute."

Li Qing smiled and continued, "Her parents told us that she had just learned to walk recently, and she couldn't wait to go out for a walk every day. Seeing her happy face, I suddenly thought of you when you were a child. You were always so lively and active, and loved to explore new things."

Ji Yan listened to her mother's words, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes: "Yes, I was really happy back then. Now..." Her voice gradually became low.

Li Qing gently patted his daughter's shoulder: "Yanyan, don't be sad. Let the past go. Now, you need to start over and regain that happiness and confidence. You know? Sometimes, we need to learn to let go of the burden of the past so that we can move forward more easily."

Ji Yan raised her head and looked at her mother's encouraging eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew her mother was right, and she needed to face the future bravely instead of indulging in the pain and regret of the past.

"Thank you, Mom. I will try my best." Ji Yan said firmly.

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "I believe in you, Yanyan. You have always been your mother's pride. Now, let's prepare for the banquet together. I believe you will be the most dazzling star at the banquet."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of expectation and confidence.

In the following days, Li Qing carefully selected a gorgeous and elegant dress and prepared a perfect dinner look for Ji Yan. Ji Yan also actively cooperated with her mother's arrangements and practiced etiquette and dance seriously in preparation for the performance on the day of the dinner.
