Seeing the slightly complicated expression on Zhou Yi's face, Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "Was it Jiang Yonghe who called?"

Zhou Yi was surprised, "How do you know that?"

Jiang Youli said bluntly, "I told her your identity."

Zhou Yi smiled wryly and helplessly, "You're deliberately trying to cause me trouble."

Jiang Youli laughed and said, "Likewise, I also did you a favor by meeting Jiang Yonghe and the others under my identity as Liliyuan, although the meeting didn't end well."

Zhou Yi answered the call with a smile and put it on speakerphone. Jiang Yonghe's sweet voice immediately came from the other end.

"Brother Zhou Yi."

“Miss Jiang Yonghe, I didn’t expect you to call me again. Didn’t you already conclude yesterday that Xiao Li and I conspired to play a trick on you?” Zhou Yi’s words were full of sarcasm.

Jiang Yonghe quickly said, "Brother Zhou Yi, I'm sorry. I didn't trust you yesterday. It was my fault. I called you to apologize. I'm really sorry that I didn't stop my second brother when he spoke rudely to you."

"So you're saying the whole blame lies with your second brother?" Zhou Yi sneered.

"Of course not, that's just my second brother's personality. He's not deliberately targeting you, Zhou Yi."

Even at this point, she still deliberately tried to pin the blame on her second brother. Zhou Yi felt sorry for the second young master of the Jiang family.

"How your second brother doubts me and how contemptuous his attitude is are irrelevant to me. The main thing is you, Miss Jiang Yonghe. After all, we have known each other for a while. Your doubt and disregard are the greatest insult to me."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yonghe smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhou Yi, if you put yourself in my shoes, you wouldn't have said that. Do you think I have any right to speak as an adopted daughter in the Jiang family? My second brother dotes on me because I'm obedient and well-behaved, so I can only obey him to make him happy and let him continue to pamper me like a little sister. What else can I do? Go against him and disobey him?"

Her voice became increasingly pitiful. "I am not Sister Youli. No matter what she does, she is the true daughter of the Jiang family, so she has the right to be arrogant. I am just an adopted daughter of the Jiang family. I have to be careful with every step I take in the Jiang family and gain the approval of the Jiang family members, otherwise I will lose everything I have."

Jiang Youli picked a washed grape from the bedside table and popped it into her mouth. She had to admire Jiang Yonghe's ability to gain sympathy and pity. Seeing that acting cute and begging didn't work, she started playing the victim.

Zhou Yi remained unmoved. "Miss Jiang Yonghe, if you ask me, you are reaping what you sowed. With the twenty years of careful upbringing you received in the Jiang family, even if you left the Jiang family, your life wouldn't be too bad. You would just no longer be a high-and-mighty heiress, but your starting point would still be higher than that of many ordinary people. But you just can't let go of what doesn't belong to you and insist on staying in the Jiang family. Who can you blame?"

"But you actually feel sorry for yourself and think that your second brother's love for you is because you are careful, obedient and compliant, and that Xiao Li is arrogant because she has the blood of the Jiang family. These words of yours really disgust me."

Zhou Yi's words were merciless, leaving Jiang Yonghe on the other end of the phone speechless.

“Brother Zhou Yi, that’s not what I meant… I genuinely wanted to apologize to you… Brother Zhou Yi, if you have time, let’s meet, and I’ll apologize to you in person…”

“No need. You apologized to me not because you genuinely felt you were wrong, but because you know who I am, right?” Zhou Yi continued. “Don’t waste your time on me. I’m very disappointed in you and will never be friends with someone like you again.”

After saying that, Zhou Yi hung up the phone.

Jiang Youli raised her eyebrows even higher. "Wow, Brother Zhou Yi, I didn't expect you to be so heartless. You weren't moved at all by Jiang Yonghe's words."

Zhou Yi put away his phone and said seriously, "Hesitation will only lead to chaos."

He paused, then said, "You deliberately revealed my identity to Jiang Yonghe, surely it wasn't just to make her regret it."

Knowing this cunning girl as he does, she definitely has a backup plan!

Jiang Youli's eyes gleamed with cunning as she said, "Of course, on the surface I was saying this to Jiang Yonghe, but actually it was to Jiang Yangxu. After all, he manages the most important pharmaceutical company in the Jiang family. As far as I know, he has been trying to cooperate with your Zhou family for years, but unfortunately he hasn't found an opportunity. Now that he knows that the opportunity was so close but has been accidentally turned into a bubble, he must be furious. Do you think he wouldn't be anxious, and wouldn't have opinions about his adopted daughter and put pressure on her?"

Zhou Yi said with a disdainful look, "Jiang Yangxu treats his own daughter like this, yet he still dreams of cooperating with our Zhou family. He's just delusional."

After a brief pause, Zhou Yi continued his analysis: "So your real purpose is to wait for the right time to completely take control of Jiang Family Pharmaceutical Company, and then successfully connect our Zhou family's extremely important medicinal herb cultivation and production line with your Jiang Family Pharmaceutical Company to achieve a powerful alliance, right?"

Jiang Youli nodded, "That's right."

Zhou Yi had complete faith in Jiang Youli's abilities and said expectantly, "Then we'll wait for your good news from the Jiang family. People like Jiang Yangxu's family, who are so heartless and ruthless as to abandon their own daughter and sister, deserve to end up with nothing."

……

Jiang Yonghe's face turned very ugly after Zhou Yi hung up on her.

She never imagined that Zhou Yi, whom she once regarded as a sycophant, could be so heartless towards her!

It must be because Jiang Youli said a lot of bad things about him!

How could Jiang Youli, this wild woman, really be from Lili Plain? And how could she know Zhou Yi, the only son of the top-tier wealthy Zhou family?

While she felt frustrated and resentful, she harbored even more resentment towards Jiang Zhao.

If Jiang Zhao hadn't acted impulsively and kept doubting Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi wouldn't have gotten so angry!

Even if she suspected Jiang Youli's identity, she wouldn't mock Zhou Yi, because Jiang Zhao had looked down on Zhou Yi from the beginning, complaining that he only drove a 200,000 yuan new energy vehicle.

Who would have thought that they were just being low-key, not that they couldn't afford a luxury car!

Thinking of this, her hatred for Jiang Zhao intensified.

When she goes to keep watch tonight, she's determined to vent her anger on that good-for-nothing Jiang Zhao, that vegetable!

……

As evening fell, the setting sun shone like blood, casting its afterglow on every corner of the hospital.

With a solemn expression, Old Master Jiang, accompanied by the head butler who had returned from his investigation in Mimi Village, went to Jiang Youli's ward once again.

At the same time, he had someone notify his second son, Jiang Yangxu, and his wife, Qin Yulian, in advance.

When Qin Yulian rushed into the ward, her anxious voice instantly broke the quiet atmosphere: "Dad, what's the situation? Have you found anything? I dare say that wild girl Jiang Youli is framing my son Zhao'er. Dad, don't waste your time on this. Just let my brother and sister-in-law hand Jiang Youli over to me and Yang Xu to deal with!"

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Youli, who was lying leisurely on the hospital bed, her eyes filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, as if she wished she could put Jiang Youli to death immediately.
