Qi Huan's gaze deepened, and he slowly said, "I didn't want to suspect Qi Yue before, nor was there any need to. But now I do have some doubts, and I've already asked Cheng Jing to investigate this matter."

At this point, Qi Huan paused for a moment and glanced at Duan Jinghan, who was drinking alone in the corner, and said, "Xiao Li'er, your ex-boyfriend has been staring at you ever since he walked in."

Jiang Youli glanced at it.

Sure enough, Duan Jinghan was staring intently in their direction.

Before the breakup, Duan Jinghan was a poor guy, wearing clothes from cheap street stalls or low-end brands.

But things are different now; the custom-made suit he's wearing really makes him look quite handsome.

Jiang Youli looked away and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? If he dares to cause trouble in front of me, I'll kick him out."

Noticing Qi Huan's gaze, Duan Jinghan raised his wine glass, his expression somewhat provocative.

Qi Huan's dark eyes narrowed, and he smiled but said nothing.

Ever since he became crippled, no one has dared to treat him with any attitude.

Duan Jinghan, who had only recently been brought back to his wealthy family, dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, openly coveting his fiancée.

No rush, let these people revel for a while, and then he'll clean them up one by one.

……

After leaving the venue, Jiang Yonghe said with red eyes, "Second brother, Dad's slap must have hurt a lot."

Jiang Zhao rubbed his lips, his eyes filled with hatred, and said, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. I just hate myself! I hate that I've fallen for that wild girl Jiang Youli again!"

Jiang Yonghe said dejectedly, "Second brother, I feel really guilty seeing you and eldest brother suffer setbacks because of me. Forget it, don't stand up for me anymore. I'll just have to keep a low profile in front of her from now on."

"Xiaohe, don't say such discouraging things. Why should you be treated unfairly after being pampered at home for twenty years? I will absolutely not allow it!" Jiang Zhao said fiercely. "You don't have to give in. I will not let her off easily!"

Jiang Yonghe's voice choked with sobs, "Second Brother..."

Jiang Zhao wiped away her tears, "Xiao He, don't be sad. I promise you, as long as I'm here, I will never allow Jiang Youli to bully you!"

Back at the villa in the west district, Jiang Xing, who was working from home, noticed that Jiang Zhao's lips were swollen and red. She closed her laptop and frowned, "Something happened again?"

Jiang Zhao told Jiang Yonghe to go change her clothes, then plopped down on the sofa and said, "Yeah, I got a beating from Dad. I didn't expect Jiang Youli to be so clever; she actually knows the designer of this evening gown! I really can't understand how a country girl like her could have the opportunity to know such a big shot from abroad!"

Jiang Xing's gaze turned serious, and he gained a new understanding of Jiang Youli.

He recalled Qi Huan's words, saying that his family would regret their decision to give up on acknowledging Jiang Youli sooner or later, because Jiang Youli was far more outstanding than they thought, even more outstanding than Xiao He.

Could it be true?

Is his younger sister really that outstanding?

Jiang Xing quickly shook his head. Why was he thinking about these things?

Does that mean he would prefer Jiang Youli and dislike Xiao He because Jiang Youli is better than Xiao He?

Of course not. He likes Xiaohe because they have spent twenty years together and have a deep bond. In his heart, Xiaohe is like his own sister.

"Big brother, are you really not going to check on things at the welcome banquet tonight?" Jiang Zhao looked at Jiang Xing's right leg.

Jiang Xing came to her senses and remained silent.

He doesn't dare to face the people he knows, but how long can he keep running away?

The fact that his right leg is crippled will be known sooner or later; he can hide it for a while, but not forever.

After a while, he said coolly, "Xiaohe will change her clothes later, and I'll go with you."

Jiang Zhao nodded, "Yes, it was my oversight that caused Xiao He to be humiliated in the evening dress incident. This time, I will make sure Xiao He makes a beautiful comeback!"

……

When the Jiang brothers, Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xing, returned to the welcome banquet with Jiang Yonghe, who had changed into an evening gown, they happened to arrive just as some guests, who felt the event wasn't lively enough, suggested a ballroom dance.

Before Jiang Youli could speak, Jiang Zhao had already begun to organize things on his own.

Those who wanted to play music were asked to do so, and those who wanted to clear the area were asked to do so.

Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan did not arrange a ballroom dance session, considering that Youli might not be able to learn it in a short time, and that Qi Huan, the eldest son of the Qi family, was disabled and unable to participate.

But who would have thought that Jiang Zhao would still cause them trouble!

After giving some enthusiastic instructions and arrangements, Jiang Zhao walked up to Jiang Youli and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Cousin Youli, to express my apology for what happened before, would you please give me the opportunity to invite you to dance as an apology?"

Jiang Youli laughed and said, "I won't dance. I have no intention of forgiving you, so why should I dance with you?"

Jiang Zhao wasn't annoyed, but simply said softly, "Heh, is it that you don't want to dance with me, or that you simply don't know how to dance at all?"

After saying that, he gave a contemptuous laugh, turned around and left.

On the other hand, Jiang Yonghe already had many young men going to invite her to dance.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yonghe politely declined them all.

"Brother, won't you dance with this new young lady from the Jiang family?" Qi Yue asked, taking the opportunity to approach Qi Huan, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Qi Huan looked at him indifferently.

Qi Yue then pretended to suddenly remember, "I forgot that Big Brother's legs are inconvenient."

Standing behind Qi Huan, Jiang Youli retorted bluntly, "You can forget this? If you don't need your brain, you can donate it to the proctology department."

Qi Yue's smile faltered slightly. "I'm sorry, it was indeed my oversight just now."

Jiang Youli shrugged, her tone indifferent: "Why are you apologizing to me? You're the one who's brainless, not me."

Qi Yue: "..."

Qi Yue suppressed his emotions and smiled, "Miss Jiang Youli is really humorous. She's a good match for my brother."

Jiang Youli said, "Of course, why would I marry him if we're not a good match? Otherwise, wouldn't it have been better if I had chosen you? Now that I think about it, I was really funny to choose someone as thoughtless as you."

Qi Yue didn't want to waste any more words with her, so he turned and left.

Jiang Youli curled her lip, "It's boring. His mentality is really bad. He still dreams of becoming the heir of the Qi family."

Qi Huan smiled. "Indeed." She paused. "If you want to jump, you're welcome to do so. You don't need to worry about me."

Jiang Youli sighed, "It's not that I'm worried about you, it's just that I really don't have anyone who wants to jump with me. And if someone were to invite me, they'd probably just want to see me make a fool of myself."

At this point, she looked down at Qi Huan and said, "Once your leg is healed, I'll definitely dance a big time with you at our wedding!"

Qi Huan smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to that day too."

Qi Yue, who had stormed off in anger, hesitated for a moment before walking up to Jiang Yonghe and politely inviting her, "Miss Jiang Yonghe, would you like to dance with me?"

Jiang Yonghe hesitated for a moment, then finally extended her hand to him, "Okay."

Seeing this, Jiang Youli nudged Qi Huan, "Although I don't want to jump, I also don't want Jiang Yonghe to steal the spotlight at my welcome banquet."

Qi Huan smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead, this is your home turf, outdo her."

Jiang Youli took out her phone and dialed Jiang Xing's number.

After entering, Jiang Xing found a corner to sit down. When she received Jiang Youli's call, she frowned, looked up at Jiang Youli in the distance, wondering what she was trying to tell her, and had no choice but to answer the call.

"Let Jiang Zhao come over and dance a ballroom dance with me."

Jiang Xing frowned even more deeply. After hesitating for a moment, he got up, leaned on his cane, and limped over to Jiang Zhao's side to convey Jiang Youli's words.

After listening, Jiang Zhao scoffed, "I invited her earlier to test if she knew how to ballroom dance, and she refused outright. What's wrong with her now? She actually dares to provoke me!"
