The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

Long Yuan's expression cracked slightly as he looked at Jiang Youli's reply.

This Jiang Youli is just like she is online—very sharp-tongued.

However, with such strong defenses, it's even more interesting to conquer!

It just takes a little more time!

It's okay, Brother Yuan is still recovering from his injury and doesn't have time to worry about him.

He has plenty of time!

My cousin seems very wary of me. It seems my mother has indeed done many things that have wronged the Jiang family. I apologize to you and my uncle and aunt on behalf of my mother.

Actually, cousin, you don't need to worry that I'm here to get revenge on you. In a way, I should thank you for dealing with the Long family for me. My dad is having affairs, and if it weren't for my mom's ruthlessness, I don't even know how many siblings I would have now. As for my grandma, she's extremely biased towards Long Yuan, and Long Yuan's suggestion to send me abroad was to weaken my influence in the Long family.

If it weren't for you helping me deal with Long Yuan, I would never have had a chance to rise in the Long family; I would have been stuck as a lazy, good-for-nothing young master.

Okay, I won't disturb your rest any longer, goodnight.

……

Jiang Youli looked at the message sent by Long Lin and chuckled.

interesting.

This tactic of retreating to advance felt somewhat familiar to her.

Oh right, these dragon scales have a bit of a gender-swapped version of Jiang Yonghe.

No wonder she found it so unpleasant to smell.

She didn't reply to the past, but instead talked about Qi Huan's video.

Upon seeing Qi Huan's incomparably handsome face, the first thing he said was—

"Your face is still the one that makes me feel comfortable and happy."

In the video, a hint of doubt flashed in Qi Huan's eyes.

"what?"

“A man is trying to seduce me.”

"Oh? Besides Duan Jinghan, which other man is so bold?"

"Dragon scales".

Hearing this name, Qi Huan was somewhat surprised.

"He."

"Yes, how would you rate it?"

"Taking advantage of his status, he recklessly approached several naive and ordinary girls, deceiving them completely. He thought he was a master of love, having never suffered with women, and began to underestimate himself."

"You're making it sound like I'm not innocent."

"Pure black?"

"Pfft." Jiang Youli burst into laughter upon hearing Qi Huan's words. "You've gone too far."

Qi Huan said seriously, "To be honest, rather than doubting that you will be deceived by Long Lin's feelings, I would rather believe that Duan Jinghan can win you back. Duan Jinghan may be a bit foolish, but at least he is sincere."

Mentioning Duan Jinghan, Jiang Youli stopped smiling and sighed, "Sigh, let's not talk about him."

"He contacted you again?"

"Hmm, did he ask me if I liked the gift he gave me?"

"..."

Jiang Youli saw him curl his fingers and cough silently twice, then said, "He knows you didn't give me the gift for him."

Qi Huan, however, was not at all guilty. "He doesn't even realize that I'm his rival in love."

This reminded Qi Huan that he was also curious about what Duan Jinghan would give Xiao Li'er next.

"So he really is stupid," Jiang Youli had to admit.

Although it was foolish, it was indeed a heart full of pure innocence.

Therefore, Jiang Youli's decisive rejection of Duan Jinghan was actually because she hoped that he could start a new relationship that suited him, instead of wasting her time on him.

"How's it going on your end? Has Uncle Ya been arranged to join the Qi family?" Jiang Youli changed the subject.

Qi Huan smiled and said, "Yes, I've already started working as a gardener. I ran into him on my way back, and I've already arranged for someone to monitor his actions."

"There are so many things to do. I hope they can all be resolved before our wedding!" Jiang Youli said, stretching.

Qi Huan, who had been smiling faintly, became serious. "Little Li'er, I will not let our wedding be ruined by anyone like our engagement party."

Jiang Youli smiled confidently, "Me too."

"So, all those people who might interfere with our wedding need to be dealt with before our wedding." Qi Huan's voice was soft, but it was unusually serious.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. I'll take Xiao Lü and the others out for a buffet later." After Jiang Youli finished speaking, Xiao Lü, who was sleeping in the cat bed, raised its head and looked at her expectantly.

Because it's been snowing lately, I haven't taken the three of them out for a buffet in a long time.

"Okay, but I'm curious, don't they hibernate?"

Jiang Youli smiled, got up and got out of bed. "Hibernation is to store energy to survive the winter, and they don't lack food."

"Too."

"That's all for now, bye-bye~"

After ending the video call with Jiang Youli, he sent a message to Qi An'an.

[Have you sorted through Duan Jinghan's gifts? What gift did he give your cousin's wife?]

It took Qi An'an ten minutes to reply.

[She has jewelry, necklaces, bags, and everything else. Her latest birthday gift is a doll that looks a lot like her cousin's wife, but not quite. The craftsmanship is a bit rough, so it's probably not custom-made but rather sculpted by herself.]

[How did you handle it?]

[I planned to send everything back to the Duan family for Duan Jinghan, but I've been busy with my live stream these past two days, so I haven't sent it out yet.]

Okay, thanks for your hard work.

[It's not hard work!!]

Qi Huan put down her phone and lowered her eyes.

Dragon scales?

I wonder how long this guy can hold out against Xiao Li'er.

……

three days later.

While having breakfast, Jiang Youli looked at Long Lin sitting next to her and said, "Long Lin, you've been staying at the Jiang family for three days now. Judging from your appearance, your injuries have almost healed."

For the past three days, Long Lin has come to the villa in the East District every day to have breakfast with them.

Jiang Youli did not refuse.

Zhang Susu and Jiang Youli did not refuse.

Dragon Scale would also personally cook every day and research new breakfast ideas.

Of course, Jiang Youli would use a silver needle to test for poison before each meal.

Hearing Jiang Youli's words, Long Lin was stunned. He turned to look at Jiang Youli and said reluctantly, "Cousin, my injuries have indeed almost healed. If you still don't want me to stay here, I'll move out and go find my mother in a couple of days."

Jiang Youli teased, "Oh, I wouldn't have known you wanted to find your mother if you hadn't said anything. I thought you didn't care about her life or death at all."

Long Lin said, "...It's not that I don't want to go find my mother, it's just that I know my mother did something wrong, and I thought I could stay here to atone for her sins."

"Atony?" Jiang Youli seemed to find it amusing, her face turning serious as she repeated the question, "You said you want to atone for your mother's sins? Really?"

Long Lin nodded frankly, "Yes, I'm staying here because I have nowhere else to go and I want to atone for my mother's sins."

"So that means you're willing to bear some consequences?" Jiang Youli's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Long Lin sensed that Jiang Youli's expression was somewhat malicious, but he still smiled innocently and said, "...As long as you can forgive me, I am willing to bear any consequences."

Jiang Youli nodded and instructed, "Alright, now stand up and walk behind the chair."

Despite not understanding why, Long Lin obediently stood up and walked behind the chair.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, Jiang Youli, who was sitting in the chair, turned the chair around and kicked him in the knee.
