When Ji Liunian arrived at the Yu residence, Yu Nuanxue and Chen Yiqun were sitting in the hall; discussing something excitedly.

When they saw her, the two of them ignored her completely.

Ji Liunian ignored their disregard and went to one side. However, what Yu Nuanxue said next made her stop in her tracks. “Mother, do you think our cousin, Mr. Ling will attend Father’s birthday banquet?”

Cousin with the surname Ling. Were they were talking about Ling Yichuan?

Chen Yiqun smiled and said, “Probably. Your father has already sent an invitation to the Ling family. I heard that your Aunt Ye’s health isn’t good. I reckon that she and Uncle Ling won’t be able to attend your father’s birthday banquet. However, Ling Yichuan should be attending. We’re relatives after all.”

“It would be great if Ling Yichuan could attend.” Yu Nuanxue said Ling Yichuan’s name in a tone that was almost worshipful. Even though Ji Liunian did not turn around to look at her, she could imagine the corners of her lips must have curled up at this moment. A look of infatuation appeared on her immaculately made-up face—just like those women who had been bewitched by Ling Yichuan!

Ling Yichuan. It really was Ling Yichuan! Ji Liunian had been worried that she would meet Ling Yichuan in her capacity as the future daughter-in-law of the Yu family! Ling Yichuan was not present when she got engaged a year ago. With Yu Yichen’s disregard for this marriage, perhaps there would not be any wedding when they got married. If there was no wedding, at least she would not have to meet him again!

However, Ling Yichuan was attending Yu Bolan’s 60th birthday celebration!

“The Ling Yichuan you’re talking about is Ling Yichuan, the CEO of Ling Group?” She was still a little uncertain and turned around to ascertain.

Yu Nuanxue—who was sitting on the couch—immediately glanced at her fiercely with her beautiful eyes. Then, she snorted disdainfully. “Why? A person like you dares to have designs on my cousin, Ling Yichuan? Do you think that just because you can’t get any attention from my brother, you can move on to your next target now? Have a good look at yourself! How can someone like Ling Yichuan like you?!”

“I… No!” Ji Liunian wanted to say something but she could not bring herself to say it. She thought about it and said, “I’ve only heard of him. He seems to be very famous.”

“It’s none of your business even if he’s famous! He has got nothing to do with you!” Yu Nuanxue glared at her fiercely, then snickered. “But it doesn’t matter anyway. Ling Yichuan won’t bother with you. Even if you stand right in front of him, he won’t look at you twice!”

She really had to thank Yu Nuanxue. If it was not for her contempt, she would have to think of a way to explain her relationship with Ling Yichuan. She did not say anything else and turned to go upstairs.

Yu Bolan was waiting for her in the study. However, when she reached the door of the study, she heard an intense argument!
