“Today, I visited the Ye family to finalize the adoption of my goddaughter. Any thoughts about this?” Murong Yanshu said. As she spoke, her gaze remained on Nangong Xuyao, seeking any hint in his expressions. Xuyao used to be quite resistant to this idea. Although he had given his consent later, something about it felt rather unreal to her. Taking advantage of this moment, she wanted to get a clear view of his thoughts.

“That seems fine to me. If it makes you happy, it’s good.” Nangong Xuyao!s face showed no apparent emotions. “This is a trivial matter, no need for any special notification.”

The mere mention of Ye Xiyuan stirred up feelings of disgust in him. His recent feeling of being fooled by her, thinking she was his savior, only deepened his dislike for her.

“Xuyao, are you really okay with this?” Murong Yanshu pressed on, “I’ve already instructed the butler to arrange for a suitable day for this celebration. The party will happen very soon.”

“Mother, such a trivial matter, 1 genuinely couldn’t care less,” Nangong Xuyao was somewhat speechless. “Or, do you think I should object now? If I do, won’t that make you angry?”

Hearing this, Murong Yanshu simply nodded and carried on, “Your shift in attitude is quite abrupt. One moment, you were starkly opposed, and the very next, you agreed with my terms. I won’t deny it felt a bit surreal.”

“Truth is, I just managed to clear my thoughts,” Nangong Xuyao replied with a smile, although his eyes were filled with a cold intensity. “Many things, and people, aren’t as simple or innocent as they seem. Bottom line, if I’ve made a mistake, I’ll admit to it. Stopping the damage in the early stages is always better than digging yourself into a deeper hole.”

“Xuyao, did something happen?” Murong Yanshu, narrowing her eyes and observing Nangong Xuyao closely, asked, “Or did a misunderstanding arise?”

“Certainly, there has been a misunderstanding,” Nangong Xuyao answered, a cynical smile on his face. “But now, everything has been clarified. They indeed were misunderstandings; everything was a misunderstanding.”

Recalling this, Nangong Xuyao’s gaze was icy cold. He could hardly believe that he had been manipulated and fooled by Ye Xiyuan. But tricking him came with a price. On the banquet day, he intended to deliver Ye Xiyuan a special gift, a gift she would never forget.

Murong Yanshu felt a little puzzled seeing Nangong Xuyao’s demeanor, but she didn’t inquire further. She knew that if Nangong Xuyao wanted to disclose anything, he would do it naturally. She wasn’t the type to pry. Besides, it didn’t look like this matter was a threat to the Nangong family, which made her even more indifferent.

The next day, Ye Xiyuan left for the Public Security Bureau after breakfast.

On the police side, they were quite surprised to know that Ye Xiyuan was there to see Li Qiaomeng. Since the incident, Li Qiaomeng had no visitors. The sudden visitor, who seemed unrelated, was quite unexpected.

Li Qiaomeng was also taken aback when she heard someone had come to visit her. She had been staying in the detention cell since the incident and had no visitors.

Her mother came to see her once, but it didn’t end well.

Each day was distressing for Li Qiaomeng. She was unsure if she would ever get out, let alone plan for the future,

Now, after everything, she was unsure if she could return to school. Although she had threatened her mother about dropping out in the past, she never actually considered it. She knew how much effort she had invested in getting into university.

Furthermore, she firmly believed that attending university was her only way out and her only chance to escape from their impoverished hometown..
