After Li Zhitian and the old patriarch Lin finished their conversation,
He immediately saw Young Master Yang.
The moment their eyes met, Young Master Yang couldn't help but tremble.
There was no way around it; the Li family was their Yang family's backing.
If they offended the Li family,
Without the Li family needing to lift a finger, their Yang family would immediately tie him up and hand him over to the Li family for punishment!
Li Zhitian merely glanced at Young Master Yang, saying nothing more.
However, his meaning was already very clear.
This matter is not for you to interfere with!
Even so, Young Master Yang was still terrified, his face turning pale.
On the side, Lin Guanghe was about to say something.
But Young Master Yang glared at him fiercely, waved his hand and said, "Get out of my way! Don't obstruct my path!"
Then, Young Master Yang hurriedly led his people away from the banquet hall.
Although Young Master Yang didn't say anything more,
his actions already showed his attitude, and also served as a reference for others.
Everyone quickly found excuses.
"No offense, Young Master Lin, I also have some business to attend to..."
"I suddenly remembered that the gas at home is not turned off..."
In an instant, more than half of the people Lin Guanghach had invited had left.
Those who remained either wanted to curry favor with the Li family or wanted to continue watching the show.
Lin Guanghach was no longer as arrogant as before.
He just stared blankly at everything.
He seemed unable to believe what had happened before his eyes.
At the same time, he muttered to himself: "How could this happen? How could this be!"
Only then did Lin Wanru breathe a sigh of relief.
It seemed the matter of the heir was settled.
However, she truly hadn't expected Zhou Yi's connections to be so formidable!
Whether it was Feng Qian or the Li family,
Neither of them were places Lin Wanru could easily approach.
Yet this old man Zhou Yi managed to do it!
Simply unbelievable!
"Could he really be some kind of expert, just pretending to be an ordinary old man to play a trick on me?"
Thinking this, Lin Wanru looked towards Zhou Yi.
On the other side, Zhou Yi held a thermos flask containing goji berries, slowly savoring them.
It seemed the overall situation was settled.
It was time for me to collect my debts!
...
Using the Li family as a gateway to the birthday celebration.
The old patriarch also took the opportunity to announce that Lin Wanru had become the heir to the family headship.
Lin Guanghach wore a Sima-like expression.
His eyes were sinister, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Shortly after, the banquet ended.
The guests dispersed, all discussing the events of the day.
Li Zhitian sought out Zhou Yi, and in his words of gratitude, he was incredibly humble: "Haha, you're too kind!"
"You are my father's life-saving benefactor; compared to that, this little matter is nothing."
Then, he made another request.
"I would like to ask you to visit the Li family's main residence in the future to help treat someone."
"I wonder if you would be so kind as to..."
Zhou Yi naturally couldn't refuse this request and readily agreed.
For a powerful family like the Li family, it was naturally best to minimize the amount of favors they owed him.
Li Zhitian was extremely pleased after hearing this, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Then he bid farewell and left.
Later, Feng Qian, seeing the opportunity, also came to him.
He seemed a little embarrassed.
Zhou Yi, however, smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's good that you came."
"As for the stone-gambling convention later, I will remember it well, you can rest assured!"
Feng Qian heard this and immediately smiled, saying, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, old gentleman!"
This showed that his attitude had changed.
Previously, it was just gratitude.
Now it had turned into awe.
After all, Zhou Yi's relationship with the Li family was not ordinary.
Therefore, Zhou Yi was no longer just a mere stone-gambling expert, but a figure who could sit on equal footing with Feng Qian!
Perhaps even higher!
Feng Qian still had to show him three parts respect.
After Feng Qian had left,
Lin Wanru finally approached, still looking somewhat bewildered.
She looked at Zhou Yi, who hadn't changed at all.
Suddenly, she felt that she didn't seem to know him very well.
"You old fool, how do you know those important figures? I don't know anything about them!"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Want to know? Fine!"
"I've divided the experience into ten parts, and I've told you one part each time we interacted. How about that? Am I not very considerate?"
"Go away!" Lin Wanru stuck out her tongue at Zhou Yi.
Her tone was like she was pouting.
Chu Yi put his arm around her slender waist.
Lin Wanru's body trembled, but she didn't push his hand away.
Instead, she shyly said, "Remember to be gentle, I'm afraid I can't handle it..."
"And also, find a place where no one is around..."
Hearing her say that, Chu Yi could no longer restrain himself.
He quickly took her to another place...
A few minutes later, in the banquet hall restroom.
A faint, clear, and rhythmic sound emanated from the adjacent room.
Following it came a low murmur, as if someone was covering their mouth.
As if they didn't want to make any sound.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang.
The sounds in the adjacent room ceased abruptly.
Then, the person in the adjacent room hurriedly took out their cell phone, and Lin Wanru's voice rang out.
"Hello? Who is this? Su Changhao? Ah, what do you want?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Changhao looked overjoyed.
"Wanru, I heard you successfully became the heir, congratulations!"
"I want to throw a small party for you to celebrate properly. I wonder if you'll be free then?"
Lin Wanru opened her mouth and said, "I should be going. Tell me the time and address..."
"Ah... Ah!"
Hearing the commotion, Su Changhao immediately asked with concern.
"Wanru? What's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so startled?"
"Nothing... Nothing, just... I saw... A... Big rat!"
"So that's it." Su Changhao said with a smile.
He thought to himself, this woman is too timid.
But this is also adorable.
Just thinking that such a woman is his fiancée, his heart was filled with joy.
"Do you have... anything else... to say?"
"Nothing... Just hurry up... and hang up!"
Hearing Lin Wanru's words, Su Changhao was about to speak when he noticed something unusual.
"Wanru, what's wrong? Why are you pausing for a moment?"
"And you seem a little out of breath?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Wanru's tone became somewhat flustered.
"Ah? Yes... I... I'm... jogging right now!"
"Maybe... you are a little... out of breath?"
After hearing this, Su Changhao didn't have too many doubts: "Then you go ahead and jog first."
Just before hanging up, Su Changhao thought for a moment, then muttered to himself: "Wanru, you sound really tired from jogging."
"Why don't you rest for a while first? Don't hurt yourself from running."
Lin Wanru said, "Um... I know... Thank you..."
"You should also... take care of yourself..."
Afterward, the call ended.
Su Changhao finished the call, feeling incredibly moved.
"Wanru actually cares about me! She has me in her heart!"
"She's truly a good girl!"
At this moment, he suddenly realized he hadn't told Wanru the time and place of the party yet!
So he hurriedly tried to call again.
But this time, he couldn't get through...
His vision returned to its original state.
A few complaining voices came from the next room, sounding quite embarrassed.
"What were you just... thinking about?!"
"Almost... I'd be... discovered!"
"If... it's still like this... I'll... wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
"I haven't... prepared yet!"
...
Not long after.
Dragon King Ye Nan Cheng frowned, seemingly burdened with heavy thoughts.
For some reason, he'd recently had this feeling.
He felt as if he had lost something very important, even the woman he admired was drifting further and further away from him.
Just before, he'd seen Lin Wan Ru in a vulnerable position.
He had originally intended to use his connections.
Unexpectedly, the Li family of Nan Province actually came to support Lin Wan Ru.
Even Dragon King Ye Nan Cheng couldn't help but be astonished.
When did Lin Wanru become acquainted with such an important figure? How come I didn't know?
This situation was gradually spiraling out of control.
The Dragon King, who always held victory in his grasp, was very uncomfortable.
Therefore, he decided to go and see his master, the one who taught him all his skills.
Arriving at his master's residence, he gently pushed open the door.
A woman in snow-white robes lay on her side on a bed, eyes closed, resting.
Her clothes were tightly covering her body.
Yet her graceful and curvaceous figure was still undeniable.
A pair of delicate, white feet were exposed, small and exquisite, like a fragile golden lotus.
She could be called a peerless beauty.
She didn't open her eyes, but she knew it was Ye Nan Cheng who had returned.
Ye Nan Cheng first bowed to his master.
Then, he began to express his recent troubles and anxieties.
After listening, the beautiful female master sighed softly.
She advised Ye Nan Cheng, saying that this was a trial he would inevitably face upon descending the mountain.
She urged him to maintain his true self.
Only then could he see the sun rise again.
Hearing his beautiful master's advice, Ye Nan Cheng regained his confidence.
"Understood, Master, I will definitely do as you say!"
After walking a short distance, Ye Nan Cheng began again.
"Maintain your true self? I was so distracted by such a small matter, it really shouldn't have happened!"
"It's possible nothing truly happened, I was just overthinking it!"
"It must be so!"
Then, he transformed back into the Dragon King and hurried away.
Watching Ye Nan Cheng's receding figure,
the beautiful master sighed, muttering to herself.
"Nan Cheng, I truly couldn't see through your predicament this time, not only couldn't I help you."
"I'm afraid even I myself might lose out."
"From now on, everything depends on your own fate..."
