See you at 8:04, going to the meeting (ten more, asking for votes!!)

  As the day of the group meeting approached, Su Lianwei fell into a dilemma.

  She wasn't the kind of person who liked to show off, but the purpose of attending the group meeting was to show off. If she didn't show off, how could she announce the arrival of the Su family to the entire Luan national business community? Now that the Su family's wine has just started, they have already encountered more than one or two attempts at sabotage. If the distilled liquor is put on the market in the future, it's unknown what kind of obstacles they will face.

  The bird that sticks its head out gets shot. If the bird is strong enough, it can withstand the robbery. But if the bird is weak and small, not only will it lose its life, but it may also become someone else's captive.

  So, either stick to this small winery and wine shop for a lifetime and never expand, or if you want to develop and grow, you must enter the business circle!

  Lianyi let out a long sigh, going against the current would only lead to retreat. Even if the Su family really wanted to guard their small winery forever, future problems would only continue to mount. Therefore, the only choice that could be made now was to move forward, enter the circle and expand the industry.

  She furrowed her brow and Su Liangwei began to think hard, trying to find a balance between showing off and being low-key. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't know what to do.

  After all, she was just a doctor in her past life, not a businessman, let alone a socialite.

  Su Lianwei sat in the chair, one hand holding a tea bowl and the other gently propping up her cheek, thinking quietly. Chu Yue on the side was restless.

  "Ah, what's wrong, Lianyi, what's wrong? Heaven, how could I make such a low-level mistake?" Chu Yue hugged her stomach and rolled around on the ground.

  Lianyi turned her head, very curious, "What's making you so anxious?"

  The young girl rushed over, her small face scrunched up, "Headwear and accessories, you're wearing that outfit, how can you not wear anything? Especially with the yuanbao collar, it would look terrible without a pendant on your neck."

  Why is she in such a hurry? Because tomorrow is the group meeting, and Lianyi doesn't like to stay overnight outside, so she plans to make a round trip on the same day. She will set out three hours earlier in the morning, which means setting out before dawn. What to do now that there are no hair accessories?

  "Ripples, take me to the county town, I want to knock on the door of the jewelry store and buy you a headdress, don't need you to spend money, it's my gift to you, consider it as compensation for my thoughtlessness." Chu Yue said nervously, speaking quickly. "No way, tomorrow at dawn you have to set off, if today's rest is not good, tomorrow's state won't be good either, no need for you, I'll go find Da Hu."

  As he spoke, he turned around and ran out of the room.

  Lianyi hastily pulled Chunxu, "What's the hurry, your mouth is like a machine gun, I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I have a box of jewelry." It was sent by Peach Aunt from the Li Mansion.

  Xiao Yue was surprised and delighted, "Really? Why didn't you say so earlier! You scared me to death and I'm all sweaty now. Where is it? Quickly take it out and let me see." What's a machine gun?

  Lianyi supported Chunxiao to sit on the chair, her expression turned serious. "Don't be so willful, I've told you many times, now that you're pregnant, don't get excited." After finishing speaking, she turned around to fetch Taoniang's jewelry box.

  It has to be said that Aunt Peach also helped her out, and she had to show her gratitude.

  She put the jewelry box on the table and Chun Yue hastily opened it, taking out each piece of jewelry inside to examine.

  Lianyi sat aside, looking at the jewelry box but thinking of Tao Niang. At that time, Tao Niang said that giving her jewelry was not for comparison, but a genuine gift, just because she saved Lao Ye and gave Tao Niang a chance to breathe.

  She let out a soft sigh, ancient women were truly pitiful. Sincerely wishing that Taoniang would become pregnant and also forget that Taoniang could enjoy her later years relying on this child.

  "This ornament may not be a treasure, but it's also a rare item, and can be taken out to show off." Chuying chose a few pieces of jewelry and placed them one by one on the edge of the table.

  Lianyi nodded, her face full of helplessness. She had no choice but to take this young girl in. "It's getting late, let's sleep."

  Today, Chuyue insisted on staying overnight to personally help Lianyi get dressed and made up for tomorrow. Lianyi had no choice but to agree. In fact, she knew that Chuyue was doing this because she was afraid that Lianyi wouldn't wear the stunning dress tomorrow, but Lianyi already had a plan in mind.

  After the two of them finished washing up, Chu Yue obediently climbed onto the bed. Lian Yi always felt like something was missing in her heart, so she walked out of the room, took a deep breath, and saw Da Hu standing beside her.

  "Goodnight, Da Hu." Lianyi smiled and greeted.

  The big tiger nodded and said, "Be more careful on the road tomorrow."

  "Good." After greeting, Liang Wei returned to her room. The emptiness in her heart was relieved a lot.

  No more thinking, got on bed, must sleep now, tomorrow's three-hour journey is not a trivial matter.

  ……

  The top-grade hostel's most luxurious room, resplendent with gold and jade.

  Who is staying inside? Of course it's Master Ye Ci.

  "Master, have you slept?" Ye Huan's voice sounded outside the door.

  "Come in." Ye Ci said, the person was sitting in front of the dresser carefully examining his face, looking left and right, fortunately he, Ye San Shao Ye, was born with a beautiful appearance, these few days of emotional injury had recovered very well, without a single trace.

  But in his heart, he was thinking that Li Yutang must still be green-eyed and jealous, and tomorrow he would definitely tease him thoroughly.

  Ye Huan entered, "Young Master, I just received a reliable message that Miss Su will also be attending tomorrow's gathering."

  Ye Ciyu's expression froze, her mouth moved slightly, and she stiffly turned her head, "What did you say?"

  Ye Huan said again, "The group will meet tomorrow, and Miss Su has also received the invitation." He knew that his family's young master had concealed Miss Su's identity. If the two met at the gathering, Miss Su would naturally learn of his family's young master's true identity - the third son of the Ye family, the richest man in the capital city.

  "What can be done?" Ye Ci's joy at having just recovered her beautiful appearance was gone, replaced by extreme tension.

  Ye Huan shrugged his shoulders, "Young master, the truth will eventually come out, your identity will be known to Miss Su sooner or later. Might as well take this opportunity to tell her."

  Ye Ci cried with a sad face and shook her head, "Ye Huan you don't understand, if it's told on ordinary days then it would have been told, but hiding it all the time, in the group chat she will discover it, that's not telling, but leaking, what to do, I'm going to die."

  Ye Huan silently gave her family's young master a lot of white eyes - who let you pretend to be deep.

  But thinking again, I can understand the young master. The young master wasn't unmoved before, but as soon as those girls knew his identity, they immediately changed their attitude, no wonder the young master is now nervous.

  But what can be done about it?

  Leaves rustle, destined for a sleepless night, anxiously thinking through the whole night.

  ……

  Li Family Compound in Yiwang County

  As for accommodation, Li Yutang had the same idea as Su Lianwei, and he set off early to hurry to the Ouyang family, not wanting to stay outside. So, he was still in his own villa, facing the account book.

  "Young master, it's late at night, you should rest." Mo said softly as he entered the room.

  Li Yutang nodded, put down the account book, got up to wash and change clothes, and then lay on the bed.

  Tomorrow, I will see her again.

  The mood is unusually complicated, and I don't know whether to be happy or angry.

  Anger is the cause, why did Mr. Ouyang give Su Lianwei an invitation? Su Lianwei is indeed exceptional, but her winery is still small-time compared to those who participated in the group meeting last year. Moreover, he didn't receive an invitation from the Ouyang family, does this mean that in this round, he lost again?

  It's great that the two of them will meet again.

  Just thinking of this, Li Yutang's thoughts suddenly stopped. Meet? Why should meeting be exciting? He seemed to have been waiting for this day for a long time!

  Troubles followed immediately after.

  He was repeatedly ordered by his mother to get close to Su Lianwei, tomorrow, his mother would accompany his father to go, but it's unknown whether this is good or bad luck.

  Li's family courtyard also seemed like it wasn't going to be a peaceful night.

  ……

  The sky was a little bright, Su Liang woke up and got out of bed. Chu Ying also got up, the two simply ate some food and then started dressing up.

  Wearing that fairy-like skirt with scattered flowers, I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, it's just too showy.

  Sitting in front of the dressing table, Chu Yue personally combed and made up her hair. To match the dress, Chu Yue didn't comb her usual neat and tidy hairstyle, but instead combed a very fluttering and ethereal hairstyle.

  Thick and black long hair scattered on the shoulders, soft and shiny, all the way down to the waist. The top of the head was tied with four ring-shaped buns, interlocking, hair intersecting, decorated with silver ornaments at the bottom, as if there is a sense of a bright moon rising from the sea.

  Because Lianyi didn't like to stay by the sea, she was used to being neat and tidy. Unfortunately, Chu Ying could only hang two strands of black hair down from Lianyi's ears, tied a knot under her chin, and adorned with silver ornaments, which matched the delicate chin and the two crystal pendants hanging down, shining brightly together.

  Su Lian's facial features were extremely beautiful, with delicate and tender skin that seemed to be made of jade. Her eyebrows were shaped like willow leaves and lay flat on her brow bone. Her eyes were large and dark, with a clear distinction between the black and white parts. Although her nose was small, it was straight and proportional. Her lips were bitten red with rouge, but the color was subtle and only visible at the tip of her heart.

  "Ah, our family's Lianyi is truly a great beauty." Chuying stepped back two steps after finishing her makeup and looked her up and down.

  Lianyi let out a soft sigh, finally tidying herself up. She was about to fall asleep when she picked up a small package and held it in her hand. "Let's go out, Uncle Ma will probably come pick me up soon." The two had agreed on a time.

  "Good," Chu Ying smiled mischievously and said, "However, Lian Yi, what's in the package on your hand?"

  Lian Yi smiled and said, "Maybe take a nap in the carriage later, there's a bed inside."

  Xiao Yue nodded her head, "Still, Ling Wei thought it through." She said with a smile, and then walked out the door, but didn't see Ling Wei's sly smile of triumph.

  As soon as Ling Wei stepped out the door, he saw Da Hu. He was already dressed and standing at the entrance, not saying much, just quietly looking at him with complex eyes in his deep pupils.

  The carriage came with a loud noise, and Old Horse hurriedly drove the high-end carriage that had been prepared in advance. This carriage was still borrowed by Su Liuwei from someone else.

  "I'm leaving, you didn't sleep well last night either, go back and get some more rest later." Liang Wei said to Chu Yue.

  The little firefly nodded obediently, "Got it, don't worry."

  Ripples smiled, but when preparing to board the car, he thought of Da Hu instead.

  He still stood silently at the door.

  Her heart suddenly warmed up, she didn't know if it was because of Da Hu or this house - this home. "Da Hu, I'm leaving."

  The big tiger nodded and said, "Have a smooth journey."

  For some reason, after listening to Da Hu's words, the busy and anxious heart that had been stirred up since early morning suddenly calmed down a lot. "En." He got on the carriage and pulled down the curtain.

  With the old coachman's shout, the carriage moved and then slowly ran out of the village onto the official road. The two fine horses stretched their legs and galloped, the carriage racing along.

  Outside the carriage, Lao Ma's voice came. "Miss Lin, you're really beautiful today, just like a fairy descending to earth. I didn't even dare recognize you just now."

  Lianyi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for Uncle Ma's praise." While speaking, she opened the package.

  The coat in the revenge is a jacket, the material is very particular, it looks like a high-end product at first glance, and the color is also elegant, which is sky blue. However, the problem is that such a jacket has no decorations or patterns at all, it can be said that it is an unadorned piece of clothing.

  She calmly put on that cloak, completely covering the beautiful Tian Nu's skirt, only revealing a hint of white edge at the hem.

  A sly smile, that's her "countermeasure". After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't be so ostentatious, so she came up with this idea.

  The horse carriage was galloping on the official road, and the old horse no longer spoke to Su Lianwei, focusing on driving the carriage. Lianwei put on her jacket and leaned against the carriage wall to take a nap, sleeping for three hours straight.

  ……

  The Ou Yang family is a prominent business family, once flourishing, and although they are no longer the leaders of the commercial world in Ruan Guo, their status remains unchanged. Especially with the current head of the Ou Yang family, Ou Yang Shang Mo, being a man of his word, kind-hearted, and generous, with extensive connections.

  In front of the Ou Yang family's gate, a stream of cars and horses flowed, with luxurious cars lined up in a row, dazzling to behold.

  The noble merchant and his beautiful wife entered the Ou Yang estate under the service of their attendants.

  The Ou Yang mansion has been precipitating for hundreds of years, with a natural and majestic momentum. The nearly ten-meter-high gate is towering, with bright red paint, and outside the gate are two stone lions as tall as a person, with their eyes wide open, looking strong and powerful.

  The servants who greeted the guests were also neatly dressed and smiling, diligent and quick-witted.

  "Miss Lianyi, we've arrived." Old Horsehead straightened up and said softly.

  Lianyi opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I know." She poured herself a cup of peppermint tea that she had prepared earlier, took a sip, and then swallowed it to freshen up. Then, she took out a clean handkerchief and gently dabbed at her face, not only to fix her makeup after sleep but also to wipe off some of the thick layers of powder on her face.

  There's no way around it, at home her makeup doesn't count for anything she says.

  The green onion jade hand lifted the curtain, and with a gentle bow, she elegantly descended from the carriage.

  The old horse beside her was taken aback, "Miss Lianyi, why have you changed your clothes? This outfit isn't as good-looking as the one from this morning."

  Old Horse's words were naturally referring to the azure-colored jacket, and he also hoped that Ripples would shock the four seats.

  Lianyi smiled and shook her head, "This outfit is comfortable."

  Saying so, he bid farewell to Old Horse Face and walked alone towards the Ou Yang's mansion.

  A young servant from the Ouyang family saw a girl with an extraordinary temperament approaching and hurriedly went to greet her, "Miss, I don't know if you are a member of our household or..." His first reaction was that this must be someone's family member who had gotten lost.

  Lianyi smiled and shook her head, pulling out an invitation. "I'm here for a banquet."

  The young man was taken aback, not expecting such a young girl to receive an invitation. He secretly found it strange and quietly looked around, "Miss, where are your family members or servants accompanying you?" Why did he only see her alone?

  "Sorry, I came alone and didn't bring any attendants," Ling replied. Unfortunately, she indeed had no maids or attendants to bring along, nor did she know who to bring. Logically speaking, she should have brought her brother Su Hao, but Su Hao was still injured and couldn't travel far. In fact, she could have also brought Chu Ying to play, but Chu Ying was pregnant and naturally couldn't withstand the fatigue of traveling by horse carriage.

  Da Hu? Da Hu wouldn't come either, because he has a task at hand and rarely leaves Su Jia Village.

  In the end, only Su Lianyi came alone.

  It was Ou Yang's servant, well-trained, who only got startled for a moment before regaining his composure. He took the invitation card from her and saw that it had her name on it - Su Liang Wei, what a beautiful name. "Miss Su, please follow me," he said, leading her into the Ou Yang estate.

  The Ou Yang Mansion gives people a sense of grandeur outside, while inside it is like a hidden village with a surprise in store.

  Pavilions and kiosks, small bridges over flowing water, delicate winding corridors, lush gardens, not considered beautiful or magnificent, but with a unique elegance and comfort.

  Lianyi admired, strolling slowly, indeed a settled-down big family, this courtyard didn't have the slightest smell of copper, nor the extravagance of a nouveau riche.

  The young man led the ripples into the garden, briefly explained the layout of the Ouyang Mansion, the flow of the banquet and the location of the guests, and then politely left to welcome the next batch of guests.

  Ripples smiled and thanked him, watching the young servant's back as he left, but hesitated.

  Boao Forum is not a meeting in the usual sense, but rather a gathering of people. Except for one formal banquet, all other activities are free and informal.

  Guests are divided into two groups: female guests and male guests.

  The country of Luan is not like ancient China, where men and women were strictly segregated and could not show their faces. However, there are still some formalities to follow. Generally, the invited guests are in the male guest area, a group of people drinking tea and wine, talking loudly. The family's women are all in the female area, a group of women chatting and gossiping, discussing family matters and relationships.

  Su Lianyi didn't know where she should go.

  Go to the men's guest area... it's really not suitable for a woman; go to the women's area, but Mr. Ouyang has sent her an invitation, and it's not to chat with the family members about trivial matters.

  *Sigh*, this group of people, really, coming is not right, not coming is also not right.

  The ladies were all dressed to the nines, with each outfit more expensive and exquisite than the last. Everyone wanted to outdo the others in beauty, and these women's status was determined not only by their family background but also by their appearance.

  Su Lian's makeup was mostly wiped off her face, and the decorations on her head were not very showy to begin with. The highlight was on her skirt, but now it was covered by a light blue jacket, completely concealing the "Tian Nu San Hua Qun" (a type of embroidery). Amidst the purple and red colors, it wouldn't be particularly eye-catching anyway.

  So she went about her business quietly and unobtrusively, without drawing much attention from outsiders.

  A gentle breeze blew by, carrying sweet fragrance.

  Not perfume on a woman's body, but a sweet fragrance of nature itself.

  Lianyi hadn't smelled this familiar scent for a long time, it was the fragrance of pear blossoms. Pear blossoms were rarely seen in Luan country, but they were common in modern times. When she was young, she had gone to her grandfather's house in the countryside, and behind her grandfather's house, there were many pear trees.

  When the pear blossoms open, they are so beautiful that they make people drunk. They are not only like waves of flowers, but also this sweet and intoxicating fragrance.

  Lianyi let out a soft sigh, homesick.

  He went in the direction of the fragrance and entered a pear blossom forest.

  Looking at the familiar pear blossoms, ripples of thoughts returned to modern times, childhood, every time I went to my grandfather's house, the scene when I saw the pear blossoms.

  The mood is unusually calm, and this can be considered a gain from this trip.

  Walking slowly along the path, admiring the pear blossoms, watching the bees diligently collecting nectar from the petals, her lips curled up in a smile. This smile was not her usual faint smile, but an unguarded one. Perhaps only in this desolate place, and only when she was homesick, did she have such a smile.

  Su Lian didn't notice that ahead of her, among the pear blossoms, there was a bend in the path, and someone's figure appeared and disappeared. After passing the bend, they exchanged a glance with her.

  That person was taken aback when he saw Su Lianwei, as if he hadn't expected anyone to be on this remote path, let alone her.

  Lianyi also saw the person in front, that person was wearing a snow-white dress, with white pear flowers shining brightly, majestic and powerful, clothes fluttering, hair silk under the contrast of white clothes, even more black and shiny.

  The two were still far apart, and Lianyi only vaguely saw that fluttering figure. Although it was a tall man, he gave people a feeling of being about to ascend to immortality.

  Still indulging in the daze of homesickness, I have no sense of existence, and I only feel that what's in front of me is not a landscape, but a painting.

  Li Yutang slowed down his pace, hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards her.

  The door opened and Ling'er entered. Only then did Liang Wei realize who this person was. With a warm smile, "So it's you."

  It's just like we've met before.

  Li Yutang was taken aback, had she... thought of him?

  His heart, which had been somewhat strange all along, skipped a beat. In the depths of his mind, she was still twisting her plump body, shouting his name while pouncing on him directly, but now, she had transformed into a slender figure with a faint smile, saying - So it's you.

  "Don't tell me you've forgotten about me." Suddenly, she playfully blinked her eyes twice, looking adorable.

  Li Yutang's heart suddenly beat fiercely, feeling a little embarrassed. How could he have forgotten her? At first, day and night, he had hoped she would die an untimely death. Later, day and night, he wanted to overthrow her and show off his pride. Now, however, day and night, he was thinking about one question - what kind of person was Su Lianwei?

  Just as Li Yutang was about to mention Su Lianwei's name, Lianwei spoke up again, "That day you fell into the water, I had your attendants send you back. Afterwards, I haven't seen you, are you alright?"

  Li Yutang suddenly realized that Su Lianying's recognition of him was not because she remembered his identity, but because of their previous encounter at the White Wave River.

  Yes, there was such an episode between them, how could he have forgotten?

  "It's nothing," he replied.

  Lianyi couldn't help but laugh again, "Really didn't expect to see you here, just now you came out from that turn, I thought you were Lihua Xian?"

  "Li Huaxian?" Li Yutang was puzzled.

  Lianyi nodded, "Yes, look at these pear blossoms, so beautiful and pure as snow. And there's no one else around here. You suddenly appeared from among the pear blossoms in a white dress, if you're not a pear blossom fairy, what are you?"

  Li Yutang's vanity suddenly surged. Previously, the two had clashed, and he was severely suppressed by her. He couldn't forget that she had gathered information at Shengjiu Pavilion and even sent him a hint, and he couldn't forget that after defeating him, she had poached all his employees, causing him to lose both his wife and his soldiers.

  But now she suddenly got her praise and compliment, feeling a bit floating, don't know how to respond.

  "Did you receive the invitation?" Ling asked. Because of their previous encounter, they felt a sense of reunion when meeting again.

  "My father received an invitation." Li Yutang replied, and as soon as he said this, he felt a little unbalanced in his heart. Why did Su Lianhui receive an invitation, but not him?

  Ripples' face revealed surprise, "You're a merchant's son, I really couldn't tell."

  Li Yutang asked in surprise, "Isn't it strange?"

  "En." Lingling nodded, "A person's attire doesn't necessarily reveal anything, but the style they pursue can reflect their inner self. Just like introverted people tend to wear simple clothes, and passionate people tend to wear eye-catching colors like bright red and green." Suddenly, Lingling thought of Ye Ci, who always wore purple robes, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Some people always wear purple robes, but are actually a pervert."

  After she finished speaking, she felt that she had misspoken. If a modern person were to say "rubbish" once, it would be nothing, just an adjective, but if an ancient woman were to say this word, wouldn't it be somewhat crude?

  But then again, she's not deliberately pursuing elegance either.

  But unexpectedly, Li Yutang and she thought of the same thing. Thinking about Ye Ci's purple clothes in her mind, thinking about those peach blossom eyes that were everywhere, and that very cheap and poor mouth, gritting her teeth, "Right, very flashy."

  Ripples of laughter burst out, and this snow-white exile said the two words "pervert" with great interest.

  Li Yutang lowered his eyes, as if in thought. "I wear white, what does it mean?"

  Lianyi sighed, "If it weren't for your elegant demeanor, then it's the pursuit of purity and perfection. Anyway, this white color shouldn't be a merchant's color." Merchants should be gold, after all.

  Li Yutang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he let out a deep sigh. "Pursuit? What right do people have to pursue anything? The moment we fall to the ground, our fate is already arranged. How can we choose?" He said to himself.

  Lianyi also nodded, and it was a feeling of being moved to speak. "Yes, I can understand this point, life is very helpless, not necessarily pursuing, just got." For example, poor people, what choice do they have?

  Li Yutang was puzzled and listened to Su Lianwei's tone, she seemed dissatisfied with her current life.

  What's wrong with her? The Su family is now considered to be relatively well-off, and she doesn't act as recklessly as before. With her stepfather's protection and care outside, and hearing that her father, Su Feng, also dotes on her excessively at home.

  Could it be...

  Li Yutang couldn't help but think that Su Lianyi was dissatisfied with her husband. Besides him, he really couldn't think of anything else she would be dissatisfied with.

  "Have... you received an invitation?" Li Yutang hesitated before finally asking what was on his mind.

  Lianyi nodded innocently, and at this moment, being with this man was like meeting an old friend. "Yes, I also understand why Mr. Ouyang sent me an invitation, I'm really worried."

  "Oh? What's wrong?" Li Yutang was surprised. In this world, what could make Su Lianwei worried?

  In his impression, Su Lianyi was invincible and unstoppable. He really wanted to know what made her worried.

  Lianyi sighed again, furrowed her brow, and her eyes were full of innocence. "I don't know where I should go, going to the men's area would be embarrassing for a woman like me; going to the women's area, but Mr. Ouyang is the one who invited me, he probably didn't ask me here to chat with the ladies. Alas, it's so distressing."

  Li Yutang was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Ah, this really is a problem. "What to do?"

  Ripples shrugged, "I want to know what to do, I won't be idle here anymore."

  At this time, Su Lianwei was truly surprising to Li Yutang. If he hadn't known that this person was indeed Su Lianwei, he really wouldn't have believed it. At this time, Su Lianwei was just a gentle and elegant woman, without wisdom and cleverness, but rather worried and hesitant about a small problem.

  Although it's a small problem, if it's not solved, it's really embarrassing.

  "Who did you come with?" Li Yutang thought of this question.

  Lianyi sighed for who knows how many times, "No one is here, just me myself, and a middle-aged uncle waiting for me in the carriage outside."

  Li Yutang was taken aback, "Why didn't you bring your maid?" Usually when women get bored, they bring their maids along to chat with.

  "No." Lianyi said.

  "Why don't you buy it?" Li Yutang asked.

  "Why buy?" Ling replied.

  "It's for taking care of your daily life." Yutang looked at Su Lianwei with surprise and scrutiny, sizing her up carefully, suspecting that this person only resembled Su Lianwei in appearance, but was not actually her.

  Lianyi reached out to pick a pear flower from the tree, took one, put it on her nose and smelled it, "I'm not old or weak, I can take care of myself, why do I need someone to take care of me?"

  "......" Li Yutang was speechless. "Then what do you plan to do for now?"

  Ripples heard the flowers, didn't lift her head, and didn't go see him. "I've said it all, I don't know, otherwise can you think of a solution for me?"

  Li Yutang nodded and also fell into distress. As for Su Lianhui, where should she go and what should she do?

  At this time, Su Liangwei naturally did not know that the white-clothed man in front of her was actually her arch-nemesis Li Yutang, whom she had been forced to marry. She only thought he was a friend of similar age who happened to be passing by, and perhaps because of his all-white attire, she found him quite approachable.

  She's no fool, nor is she blind, and can feel the way Ye Ci in purple clothes always seizes every opportunity to throw flirtatious glances at her, all she can do is smile wryly to herself when no one is looking.

  But the man in front of her was different, keeping a polite distance from others, yet giving her a sense of closeness. This feeling of a noble and calm relationship was quite nice.

  Watching the white-clothed young man concentrate on his thoughts, Su Lianwei burst out laughing.

  "What are you laughing at?" Li Yutang couldn't help but furrow his brow, was she teasing him?

  "It's because I'm happy, just now it was only me worrying, now I've pulled someone to accompany me in worrying, solitary worries are not as good as shared worries, isn't that delightful?" Lingling joked.

  Li Yutang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, what's there to be happy about?

  Saw Su Lian holding a pear blossom in her hand, this pear blossom grew on the tree, without the gorgeous and unrestrained beauty of peony and rose, nor the introverted shyness of lilac, not big or small, with no merits at all, he couldn't understand why she had just been infatuated with admiring the pear blossom.

  Also stretched out her hand, picked a flower, and wanted to learn from her to smell it.

  But just touched that snow-white petals, suddenly, from the flower flew out a yellow flying insect, immediately after, his fingertips hurt. "Ah." He exclaimed in a low voice.

  "What's wrong?" Lingling hastily asked.

  Li Yutang furrowed his brow, his face filled with anger, staring at the tip of his finger. "I was stung by a bee." Today is really unlucky.

  "Does it hurt?" Ling asked.

  Jade Hall was annoyed, "You also find a bee to sting you once, then you'll know if it hurts or not."

  "Friend, your temper is really bad. You got stung, so what? A real man shouldn't get so agitated."

  Li Yutang was speechless, gritting his teeth. He hated it when others said he had a bad temper. His father had said so before, saying that he was hot-headed and if he didn't change, he would never amount to anything. Ye Ci had also said so, saying that he lost because of his impatience, and now Su Lianhui was saying the same thing.

  Lian Yi immediately realized her mistake. It can be said that after seeing this white-clothed man today, she was no longer as reserved as usual.

  Maybe it's because I've been immersed in homesickness, so I put down my defensive psychology in Ruan Guo and my mood is very calm. Or maybe it's because this man isn't a stranger to me, we had an encounter before, falling into the water together, which makes us fellow sufferers, so now talking to him feels much more casual.

  "Are you angry?" she asked.

  When she asked this, Li Yutang's sudden anxiety subsided a lot, and he sighed, "No." The other hand wanted to press the finger that had been stung.

  "Wait, don't move." Lianyi hastily said,

  Li Yutang stopped, puzzled.

  "Sorry, excuse me for a moment." Lianni greeted first, then reached out and grabbed Li Yutang's hand.

  Li Yutang was shocked, never expecting her to...

  How can she be so intimate with a man? Hasn't she changed her flirtatious ways yet?

  Just as Li Yutang was about to furiously pull his hand back, Lianyi spoke up, "The reason your finger hurts is because of the venom. At this time, there is still a bee stinger stuck in the wound, if it's not pulled out in time, it will hurt more and more."

  As he spoke, one hand grasped his hand and brought it to her eyes, the other hand carefully pinched the fingers on his hand, then gently pulled out, "Do you see this poisonous needle?" Crystal clear white fingers stretched in front of Li Yutang's face.

  Taking a closer look, indeed, she pinched a small thorn between her fingertips.

  "Are you saying there's poison here?" Li Yutang was shocked, and his hand...

  Ripples giggled, "You're not only short-tempered but also reckless. You're really the opposite of how you look. Hold out your hand and catch this needle. Later, I'll teach you some other things." In her heart, she thought darkly, anyway, she had nothing better to do, so she might as well grab someone to keep her company in her boredom.

  Yu Tang didn't think much and obediently stretched out his other hand, which had long fingers and distinct joints, a very beautiful man's palm.

  She didn't look at it for long, and directly threw it in, turning to deal with the wound from the bee sting. With a squeeze of both hands, the venom seeped out, and she pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it clean. She raised her head in surprise, "Doesn't it hurt?"

  "It's okay." he replied.

  "This pain is more painful than when a bee stings you, just now you cried out, why don't you cry out now?"

  Li Yutang cried and laughed, "Just now I wasn't calling out because of the pain, but because I was startled." He had been practicing martial arts since he was young, how could he be so delicate and afraid of pain? Just a few days ago, he also got into a fight with Ye Ci and ended up covered in injuries.

  For some reason, being misunderstood by Su Lian as being delicate and afraid of pain, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

  Lianyi let him go, "Alright, now you just need to slowly recover."

  Li Yutang only felt a strange sensation in his hand, it was the first time he had been touched by a woman. He thought it would be very repulsive, but it wasn't as repulsive as he imagined. His hand felt smooth, was this the touch of a woman? However, seeing the wound and thinking of Su Lianhui's words just now, he had some doubts.

  "You're saying this is poisonous?"

  Lianyi nodded, "It's poisonous," reached out and pinched the poison thorn on Li Yutang's palm, "Now there is still poison in this thorn. If you don't pull it out, the toxin will seep in more, and you'll be in more pain and harder to recover."

  Li Yutang's face slightly changed, "This poison, won't be fatal, will it?"

  Lianyi smiled, "Of course not, apart from a little pain, there's actually no harm, and it even has benefits."

  Jade Hall was puzzled, "Being stung by a bee still has benefits?"

  Lianyi nodded, "The bee's body is a treasure, its brewed honey is not to be said, but the bee venom can cure wind evil symptoms, and also activate blood. In a short while, your pain will disappear, carefully feel it, you can feel the wound hot, that's the effect of bee venom."

  Li Yutang looked at the wound on his fingertips and heard this for the first time.

  "Don't hate the bee either," said Lianyi. "Your wound will heal later, but the bee lost its life. It can be said that it defended its dignity with its own life."

  Li Yutang was puzzled, "Impossible, I just saw it with my own eyes, it stung me and then flew away."

  Lianyi raised the stinger again, "Take a closer look at this stinger, along with the venom sac and the bee's internal organs. Without these organs, can it survive? Even if it had just flown for a short while, it would still die soon."

  There was a hint of sorrow in Lin Wei's eyes. "I really like bees, and I used to be in contact with them often. My grandfather was a beekeeper."

  Li Yutang was taken aback. Su Lianwei's grandfather? Wasn't he a winemaker? When did he start beekeeping?

  Su Lianwei said that the grandfather was not from the country of Luan, but a modern grandfather. At the foot of the beautiful Yimeng Mountain, there is his grandfather's home, where there are flowers and fruit trees. Every time it's the flower season, Grandfather would raise bees.

  "Honeybees are a highly disciplined insect, very clean, very diligent, without selfishness. Every bee in the family will never betray the family and will only fight for the honor and benefit of the family all their lives. These are things that humans can never surpass."

  Li Yutang was puzzled, wasn't this just an insect? At most, it would have a beehive.

  "Follow me." Lianyi bent down and headed in the direction where the bee had just flown.

  Li Yutang followed, amazed in his heart. Why did Su Lianhui always have such novel knowledge and ingenious ideas? What was inside her brain?

  Thinking of it, I followed Su Lianyi and left.

  Before long, Liang Yu exclaimed, "Found it."

  Li Yutang went forward, puzzled, and found something?

  She crouched down and picked up the yellow insect corpse, "Found it, this little warrior who would rather die than surrender."
