"Xiao Li?" Jiang Youli smiled sarcastically after hearing this. "You call me so affectionately. It reminds me of the first time you came to see me when I returned to the Jiang family. You were very cold back then."

Jiang Xing's hand holding the tote bag froze in mid-air.

Jiang Youli glanced down at the big brand logo on the packaging and continued to mock, "You were talking tough to me at the auction, and this afternoon you sent me a gift like this. It couldn't have been prepared in advance, could it? It was originally intended for Jiang Yonghe, but you thought it would be more useful to use it to please me. Am I right?"

Jiang Xing's face was extremely embarrassed when his thoughts were perfectly guessed. He didn't know whether to retract his outstretched hand or not.

"Jiang Xing, use your brain and think about it carefully. If I really accepted this bag from you, and your dear sister Jiang Yonghe found out that the bag that was supposed to be given to her was given to me instead, wouldn't she hate me even more? It's just a good thing that I don't care if she hates me at all, otherwise it's clearly your problem, but I'll have to bear the hatred." Jiang Youli said sarcastically.

"You should still give this bag to Jiang Yonghe; I don't want it."

"Alright, I'll give you a chance to have a proper chat with me, but not today. Think carefully about what you want to say before you come to me."

Jiang Xing's face grew paler and paler. "...I understand." He awkwardly put down the bag he was carrying and turned to leave.

Jiang Xing's steps were very heavy.

He had already saved the person from Jiang Youli's clutches as Jiang Youli had requested, but had only gotten the chance to speak with her. What should he do next to get Jiang Youli to cure him of the poison and spare his life?

After Jiang Xing walked away, Jiang Youli looked at the woman Jiang Xing had brought back.

This woman was very beautiful, with delicate features and skin as white as snow. She was like a pure lotus blooming in the world but untouched by any dust, exuding an otherworldly and ethereal quality.

Seeing Jiang Youli looking at her, Luo Yutong immediately bowed deeply to her with utmost sincerity and sincerely thanked her: "Miss Jiang, thank you. If you hadn't asked Mr. Jiang to save me, I would have been violated by Qi Xiuyuan."

Jiang Youli didn't waste any words and got straight to the point: "I saved you for a reason. I want to sign you as an artist with the company. If you agree, I will arrange for someone to protect your safety so that Qi Xiuyuan can no longer harass you."

"Okay!" Luo Yutong agreed without hesitation. "I will definitely work hard to earn money for you, Miss Jiang!"

To her, Miss Jiang was like a second parent, able to free her from Qi Xiuyuan's persecution; she would be willing to risk her life for her!

Jiang Youli smiled with satisfaction: "Although I'm not a heartless boss, I'm not a charity either. Once I sign you, I'll give you enough resources to promote you. All you have to do is not let your career collapse and work hard to make money for me."

“Okay!” Luo Yutong nodded firmly.

Jiang Youli asked, "Name?"

Luo Yutong replied, "Luo Yutong, Luo as in Luoyang, and Yutong as in the wutong tree in the rain."

Jiang Youli nodded, "Okay, come find me at Starlight Entertainment on the first of next month."

After saying that, she called Ye Ying and asked her to arrange for someone to find a place for Luo Yutong to settle down and to protect her safety, so as to prevent Qi Xiuyuan from finding and harassing her.

After arranging everything, Jiang Youli returned to the villa and saw a stranger sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She couldn't immediately tell whether the other person was male or female.

Hearing the noise, the stranger turned around and looked at Jiang Youli, saying expressionlessly, "Miss, hello, I am your personal bodyguard 001."

Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow: Private bodyguard?

Just then, Zhang Susu came downstairs after her afternoon nap and said with a smile, "Youli, you're back."

Jiang Youli sat down next to 001, examined it carefully, and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"

Zhang Susu approached and explained, "This is a robot that your father spent twenty years developing. He has already programmed it with special protection for you. From now on, 001 will be your personal bodyguard."

Jiang Youli was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected his handsome new father to be so capable, able to research such a realistic robot.

While she was surprised, she felt even more happy.

The handsome new father spent twenty years researching and then generously gave the robot to her, a daughter with whom he had no blood relation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Youli looked at her beautiful new mother and said, "Mom, you and Dad must have always wanted to have a child of your own, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Susu was stunned.

Jiang Youli thought for a moment and then spoke her mind: "Mom, I didn't mention before that I would have you and Dad checked and treated for infertility because I felt that you are not young anymore, and having another child would cause too much damage to your body and involve too many risks. I didn't want you to risk your life for a child. Even though I consider myself a highly skilled doctor, I can't guarantee that everything will go smoothly for you during pregnancy and childbirth..."

Zhang Susu smiled and said, "I understand, Youli. You don't need to worry. Your father and I have you now, and that's the truth."

Jiang Youli gently took Zhang Susu's hand and rested her head on her shoulder. "Mom, I don't want anything to happen to you. This is my selfish wish."

During her medical career, she once delivered an emergency baby for an older woman.

The older pregnant woman was unable to deliver vaginally due to placental abruption, which caused her labor to progress too quickly. However, the rural area was too remote, and it was too late to get her to the hospital. Although Jiang Youli was not an expert in this field, she stepped in to help perform a cesarean section for the woman in an emergency.

Unexpectedly, the mother suffered severe bleeding during the surgery. Jiang Youli did her best to stop the bleeding and then gave the baby emergency treatment before sending the baby to the hospital for further treatment.

Therefore, she really didn't want the beautiful new mother to risk her life for a child. After all, the beautiful new mother was already forty-six years old, and even if the delivery went very smoothly, she would almost lose half her life.

Zhang Susu was very happy: "Youli, the fact that you have this selfish thought shows that you care about me, which makes me very happy."

001 glanced at the two of them, her brain working at high speed before she said emotionlessly, "Based on data analysis, the relationship between you two, mother and daughter, is 100% love."

Zhang Susu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.

She really, really liked Youli, but she felt a little embarrassed to tell 001 her feelings directly.

Jiang Youli sat up straight and turned to look at 001, "You can analyze this too?"

001 said, "Yes, Miss. I can do anything you need."

Jiang Youli smiled and said, "Okay, 001, from now on you will be my personal assistant and bodyguard."

001 said, "As you command, Miss."

……

In a dimly lit, enclosed room, the air was thick with a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.

Sudden--

"Splash..." A sound of water broke the silence.

A basin of icy water was poured mercilessly onto the unconscious man lying on the ground.

Awakened by this sudden stimulus, Qi Yue slowly woke up.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, trying to see everything around him clearly.

"woke up?"

A cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang out.

The first thing Qi Yue saw was a pair of black high-top boots.

Upon hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, he couldn't help but tremble, and he froze instantly.

After a brief moment of distraction, he seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up.

Sure enough, what appeared before him was that face that wasn't exactly unfamiliar.
