Jiang Youli interrupted Duan Jinghan: "There's no need to tell me these things. I never go back to an old flame. And don't bother me again. My fiancé will be angry."

She didn't feel sorry for Duan Jinghan; she just thought his behavior was childish.

Since the two people are together, they should openly discuss and clarify things, instead of keeping their feelings bottled up inside and making assumptions about the other person with the utmost malice.

The voice on the other end finally stopped pleading and started getting angry again: "Jiang Youli, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've never cared about me! For the past two years, you've only ever treated me like a lapdog! You'll regret losing me! You'll soon find that no one in this world will love you more or treat you better than me!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Youli: "..."

If this is Duan Jinghan's affection for her, then his affection is indeed quite unpredictable and repulsive.

Isn't truly liking or loving someone about respect and understanding?

Is it an attempt to gain recognition through suppression?

And to be honest, Jiang Youli was somewhat wronged.

In the past two years, she has never treated Duan Jinghan like a lapdog, nor has she asked him to be one for her.

Duan Jinghan did everything for her voluntarily, and Jiang Youli never asked him for anything. How did it become that she treated him like a lapdog?

Some men seem rather unreasonable when it comes to chasing after you like a lapdog.

Seeing the bewildered expression on Jiang Youli's face, Qi Huan smiled and said, "Alright, go back and take a good nap later, don't think too much about it."

Jiang Youli shrugged and put her phone back in her pocket. "Yeah, you too. Go back and get some rest. It'll be good for healing your legs. And you're coming to my welcome banquet tonight. There's bound to be some great entertainment, so make sure you're in good spirits."

Qi Huan laughed and said, "Alright, I look forward to your counterattack."

……

The lobby of the Jiang family's villa in the western district.

Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian, having received instructions from the old man, had already gone to the welcoming banquet to greet the guests along with Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu.

"Xiaohe, I went to great lengths to get Kitty to help me get this evening gown," Jiang Zhao boasted smugly. "Auntie probably still thinks the one she got is the real thing. But tonight, when you wear it and compare it with Jiang Youli's, everyone here will see who's wearing the real thing and who's wearing the fake. Jiang Youli will be so embarrassed."

Jiang Yonghe looked at her radiant reflection in the full-length mirror, spun around, and then stood in front of Jiang Zhao, giving him a sweet smile and saying, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Looking at his adopted sister's sweet smile, Jiang Zhao felt it was all worth it. "Xiao He, only you deserve the best evening gown in the world. Jiang Youli doesn't deserve it."

Seeing her eldest brother Jiang Xing sitting on the sofa in a daze, not offering any comment, Jiang Yonghe tugged at her skirt and walked over, asking softly, "What's wrong, brother? Is something on your mind?"

Jiang Zhao also noticed his elder brother's unusual behavior, so he turned his head to look at him.

Jiang Xing looked up and met Jiang Yonghe's worried gaze, then shook his head. "It's nothing on my mind." After a pause, he commented, "You look beautiful tonight."

Jiang Yonghe hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from Secretary Xiao Yang that my brother has been worried about the copyright of the last novel by the great author [Lili Yuanshang]?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps I can help. I know a writer on the same website as the great author [Lili Yuanshang]. He said he has some connection with [Lili Yuanshang]. Maybe I can ask him to arrange for [Lili Yuanshang] to meet with you alone?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing's expression finally changed.

"Really?"

Jiang Yonghe nodded, "Yes, if you need it, I can ask around."

Jiang Xing's eyes were filled with anticipation. "Okay, Xiao He, then I'll trouble you."

Jiang Yonghe laughed and said, "Brother, do we need to be so polite with each other?"

Jiang Xing laughed. Xiao He was so considerate and kind, how could she possibly hire someone to defile Jiang Youli, as Jiang Youli said?

He just wanted to sow discord between him and Xiaohe, who were like siblings!

Jiang Zhao, standing to the side, said sarcastically, "Big brother, look how much Xiao He cares about you. Shouldn't you be making Xiao He worry?"

Jiang Xing understood what Jiang Zhao wanted to say. After glancing at Jiang Zhao with a complicated expression, he said, "There's something I can't say about my right leg. I can't explain the details to you right now."

Jiang Zhao snorted coldly and said, "What other unspeakable secret could there be? It must have been Jiang Youli who did it!"

Jiang Xing remained silent, but his silence was undoubtedly a tacit agreement for Jiang Zhao.

Jiang Zhao said speechlessly, "I really don't know what she has on you, brother. She injured your leg like this and you still don't dare to retaliate. Since you're afraid of offending her, I'll deal with her tonight!"

Jiang Xing frowned and warned, "You'd better not do anything rash if you're not sure you can handle it, or you might end up hurting yourself."

Jiang Zhao smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I've already been burned by her once, and I definitely won't be burned a second time! Tonight, I'm going to make her lose face completely and make Grandpa utterly disappointed in her!"

After saying that, Jiang Zhao revealed a confident smile.

……

7 p.m.

Almost all the prominent families in the capital who were invited sent representatives to attend the welcoming banquet hosted by the Jiang family for their true daughter.

Upon seeing Jiang Yonghe enter through the door, Zhang Susu, who was greeting guests, was startled and quickly tugged at her husband Jiang Yehan's sleeve.

"Ahan, something bad has happened! Look outside!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yehan looked out the door and saw Jiang Yonghe, his eyes darkening.

only because--

The evening gown that Jiang Yonghe was wearing was exactly the same as the one his wife, Zhang Susu, had prepared for their daughter, Jiang Youli.

Zhang Susu's face was pale. "Ahan, the set I got for Youli wasn't a high-quality fake, was it...?"

Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.

Given her status, she never doubted that this evening gown was a high-quality counterfeit.

But now, seeing Jiang Yonghe brazenly appearing at the welcome banquet wearing the exact same evening gown that she had prepared for Youli, she felt that she must have messed things up!

Jiang Yehan held his wife's hand and said gently, "Susu, don't worry."

Qin Yulian, who was not far away, also saw her son Jiang Zhao and adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe arrive. She deliberately walked up to Zhang Susu and said, "Oh dear, sister-in-law, today is a welcome banquet specially held for your daughter. Why do you look so unhappy?"

Zhang Susu snapped out of her daze, her gentle gaze turning to disgust. She lowered her voice as much as possible and questioned, "Qin Yulian, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
