seeing how insistent ye li was, ye xiyuan could only nod. “alright! since dad you’re so adamant, i’ll agree to brother nangongs request.”

“good, good, good.”

such good news instantly lifted ye li’s originally gloomy mood. even thinking about ye anyun’s matter now, he wouldn’t get as angry as before.

he knew that xiyuan attending the nangong family’s banquet also sent a message to everyone that young master nangong had taken a liking to xiyuan. with such a relationship, the benefits it would bring to the company were simply immeasurable.

most importantly, if xiyuan married young master nangong in the future, the ye family would also rise with the tide and squeeze into the ranks of first-class families in the capital.

“dad, mom, you should rest early too!” ye xiyuan smiled and said, “brother is coming over tomorrow too. let’s go pick him up together!”

hearing ye xiyuan mention ye anyun, the smiles on ye li and lin wanqin’s faces instantly disappeared, and their expressions darkened.

ye xiyuan wasn’t foolish. she naturally noticed something was wrong and asked doubtfully, “dad, mom, did something happen?”

it was obvious something had happened with her brother. otherwise, her parents wouldn’t have such expressions. however, it shouldn’t be anything major. or, her parents wouldn’t be sitting here so calmly.

“xiyuan, we might not be able to celebrate the new year here this year.” lin wanqin forced a smile and said, “something happened with anyun, so he won’t be able to come. we’re going back to the capital tomorrow.”

“something happened?” ye xiyuan was very surprised and anxiously asked, “how is brother now? he’s alright, isn’t he?”

seeing his daughter wasn’t unhappy at all but instead very concerned for her brother, ye li felt very comforted. however, his face remained stern. “what could happen to that unfilial son? he’s at home safe and sound now! it’s just he made some trouble so we need to go back to the capital as soon as possible to deal with it.”

“as long as brother is fine, that’s good.” ye xiyuan looked relieved. she patted her chest and smilingly said, “dad, brother’s safety is most important. since we have to deal with it, let’s go back early! as long as we can be together as a family, it doesn’t matter where we spend the new year.”

“you’re still the sensible one. if your brother was half as obedient as you, i’d feel much more at ease.” ye li shook his head. “he’s not that young anymore but still so thoughtless.”

“dad, let’s not talk about this anymore.” ye xiyuan stopped ye li, then asked, “when did we book the plane tickets?”

“it’s too rushed to book tickets now,” ye li said a little helplessly. “i’ve already notified the secretary to book tickets but she still hasn’t managed to get any yet. ”

ye xiyuan thought for a moment then suddenly said, “dad, why don’t i ask brother nangongs side to see if they can help book our plane tickets? what do you think?”

hearing ye xiyuan’s words, ye li t s eyes lit up. he slapped his thigh. “that’s right! why didn’t 1 think of asking young master nangong for help? xiyuan, please go tell him.”

ye xiyuan didn’t say anything else. she immediately picked up the phone and called nangong xuyao.

a moment later, ye xiyuan hung up.

“how is it?” lin wanqin anxiously asked, “what did young master nangong say?”

“i have good news,” ye xiyuan smiled and said. “dad, mom, we don’t need to book plane tickets anymore. brother nangong is also going back to the capital tomorrow. we can just take his private jet back.”

“a private jet!” ye li couldn’t help but sigh. “as expected of a top family in the capital. they even have a private plane.”

“dad, mom, it’s getting late,” ye xiyuan said smilingly. “i’ll go back to my room to pack my luggage.”

the moment ye xiyuan returned to her room, her smile immediately vanished. “how unlucky. i thought i could have a good time in paris, but this happened. ”

she had been very happy to come to paris this time and wanted to go shopping in paris. after all, paris was the city of fashion. she had wanted to take this chance to shop well here.

in the end, she had only been here two days before having to go back immediately. what was going on with ye anyun? why did he have to cause trouble at this time?

in front of her parents just now, she couldn’t show her displeasure. instead, she had to pretend to be concerned about ye anyun. otherwise, her image as a considerate daughter would be ruined.

thinking of this, a glint of darkness flashed in ye xiyuan’s eyes. then she asked in her mind, “system, what exactly happened to ye anyun?”

“system inquiry in progress, please wait a moment!”

after a while, the system’s mechanical voice sounded again, “according to the investigation, ye anyun was brought to the public security bureau for trespassing. however, he has already been bailed out and returned home.”

after hearing the result, ye xiyuan couldn’t help frowning. at the same time, a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.

she didn’t understand why ye anyun would do something so foolish! however, it was impossible to find out now. after all, what the system could uncover was limited. many things still required seeing the person involved to know the cause and effect.

at noon the next day, ye xiyuan and the others followed nangong xuyao!s private jet back to the capital. actually, they didn’t want to leave so late, but they were with nangong xuyao after all, so they couldn’t make others accommodate them. thus they could only wait until noon to go back together.

on the other hand, ye lengan had no intention of returning home yet. she slept until almost noon before getting up.

she was alone now, so it didn’t matter to her whether she celebrated new year in paris or the capital. moreover, it was rare for her to come to paris, so she planned to take a good look around! naturally, she did not plan to go back so early.

as for the matters at the villa, she was in no hurry to deal with them. anyway, the matter wouldn’t end as long as she didn’t appear. as the victim, she was not in a hurry at all.

however, she looked at huangfu ruiling, who was sitting opposite her eating lunch, and curiously asked, “huangfu ruiling, don’t you have to go back and spend the new year with your family?”

didn’t major families like the huangfu family attach the most importance to such festivals? as the young master of the huangfu family, how could huangfu ruiling not show up on such an important day?
