after that, ye xiyuan cast a pleading look in ye li’s direction.

ye li turned his head away and didn’t say anything else.

since ye xiyuan asked her to stay, ye leng’an didn’t insist. after all, the drama that ye xiyuan arranged for her had yet to take place! moreover, the most important thing was that she had yet to give ye xiyuan the big present she prepared!

thinking of this, ye leng’an glanced at pang tingting and smiled meaningfully.

although pang tingting was talking to lin wanqin, she kept having her eyes on ye leng’an. whenever she saw ye leng’an, she always felt uneasy.

especially when she saw ye leng’an’s smile, she only felt a chill run down her spine, as if something terrible was about to happen.

“tingting, what’s wrong?” seeing pang tingting’s dazed expression, lin wanqin nudged her. “what are you thinking about?”

“nothing.” pang tingting quickly looked away and then said casually, “by the way, wanqin, who is that girl in the red dress just now? why do i feel that after she appeared, all of you seemed to be a little…”

lin wanqin sighed and said slowly, “tingting, actually, that’s the child that was swapped with xiyuan back then. she is ye lengan.”

“what?” pang tingting cried out in surprise. then, she realized that she overreacted. she quickly calmed herself down and forced a smile. “so it’s that girl! she is really good-looking. however, why did you invite her over on such a day? don’t you feel awkward?”

so that was the girl that she had randomly chosen to swap with ye xiyuan! however, did that girl know something? otherwise, why did she look at her like that?

but when thinking about it again, she felt that it was impossible. back then, that girl was still a baby! moreover, it was impossible to find out about that incident. strictly speaking, she could be considered the young girl’s benefactor! if it hadn’t been for her back then, that young girl couldn’t have had the opportunity to grow up in a wealthy family and enjoy a luxurious life for so many years!

“actually, i didn’t want to invite her over.” lin wanqin smiled helplessly and said, “it was xiyuan’s idea to invite her over. and she only told us today. even if we wanted to object, it was too late.”

“xiyuan?” pang tingting could not help but frown and became even more puzzled. “why did she have such thoughts?”

“xiyuan is a very kind girl.” lin wanqin explained, “she wanted to use this opportunity to reconcile with ye leng’an. everything she did is to make our family harmonious and happy. but ye leng’an really doesn’t know what is good for her. she even wanted to cause trouble just now.”

she should have thought of a way to stop ye leng’an from causing trouble. she didn’t think that ye leng’an attended this banquet in earnest. she had a feeling that ye leng’an wanted to use this opportunity to do something.

pang tingting’s smile was a little forced. “xiyuan is really kind!”

although she said so, she was very disdainful in her heart. moreover, she didn’t think that ye xiyuan invited ye lengan over out of kindness. ye xiyuan obviously knew that it would be an embarrassing situation, but she still asked ye leng’an to come. she was definitely not kind!

because ye xiyuan was their family, the ye family members automatically put on a filter when they saw ye xiyuan’s actions. however, as an onlooker, she could see it clearly. ye xiyuan definitely had bad intentions toward ye leng’an. as for why ye xiyuan asked ye leng’an to come, there must be another reason. on the other side, ye xiyuan was also softening nangong xuyao up.

“brother nangong, i’m sorry for what happened just now.” ye xiyuan looked at nangong xuyao with a hint of melancholy in her eyes. “i invited my sister over because i wanted to reconcile with her. i didn’t expect to make such a joke out of myself.”

“this matter has nothing to do with you.” nangong xuyao comforted her. “your idea is good, but there’s nothing you can do if she doesn’t appreciate it. in the future, you’d better keep your distance from ye leng!an! this is good for all of you.”

“emm.” ye xiyuan nodded obediently.

the banquet hall was bustling with activity, and the waiters were constantly shuttling around. men gathered in groups and talked about business while ladies also got together to discuss all kinds of new clothes, bags, or jewelry. even the students from sheng’an high school whom ye xiyuan invited herded together chatting.

only ye leng’an seemed to be unable to blend in at all. everyone was

intentionally or unintentionally isolating her. they even deliberately avoided her when she walked over.

for ordinary people, they might feel very uncomfortable when given cold shoulders. however, ye leng’an was completely different. she didn’t care about this little trick at all. besides, she didn’t like it when someone was whispering near her. therefore, she picked up some food on a plate, found a seat in a corner, and casually put her bag aside before starting to eat.

while eating, she occasionally looked at the watch on her wrist.

halfway through the banquet, a waiter pushed a beautiful three-tiered cake inside. obviously, it was time to cut the cake.

ye leng’an had zero interest in these things. however, she didn’t expect ye xiyuan to come over and invite her to cut the cake together with her.

after thinking about it, she agreed.

she didn’t know what ye xiyuan’s intentions were, but since ye xiyuan asked her to cut the cake at this time, things definitely weren’t that simple.

she knew without thinking that ye xiyuan definitely wanted to use this opportunity to do something to her! she was such an understanding person, so how could she not give ye xiyuan this chance!

however, it was hard to say whether ye xiyuan’s wish would be fulfilled in the end.

soon, all the lights in the banquet hall went out, leaving only the faint candlelight on the cake.

as everyone was singing the birthday song, ye xiyuan closed her eyes and started making a wish.

soon, after that, ye xiyuan opened her eyes and blew out the candle. then, the lights in the banquet hall lit up again.

at this moment, a panicked voice rang out.

“necklace! where’s my necklace? my necklace is gone!”
