“What about me?”

Ye Jingyun looked at her younger daughter and nodded in satisfaction. “Of course she’s beautiful. Look at whose daughter you are. Don’t worry, the two of you will be the prettiest at the banquet.”

Bei Lei and Bei Xi held Ye Jingyun’s arms and thanked her happily.

“We’re not the prettiest. The most beautiful woman at the banquet will be Mother.”

Ye Jingyun smiled happily and said, “You guys have the sweetest mouths.”

The few of them smiled happily. After a long while, Bei Xi retracted her smile and said unhappily,

“Father should be coming back to attend the state banquet with you, right?”

The smile on Ye Jingyun’s face faded and hatred flashed across her eyes.

Bei Xi realized that she might have said something wrong, but she was still indignant.

“Father, you’re too much. You’re her lawful wife. Why do you have to be with that b*tch every day? That b*tch can’t even give birth to a child, yet she doesn’t even care about us for her. I hate her!”

Ye Jingyun’s heart sank. “Alright, stop talking! Do I lack food or clothes?!”

Bei Xi shrank her neck and pouted. She retracted her hand and went upstairs angrily.

Seeing that Ye Jingyun wasn’t in a good mood, Bei Lei patted her shoulder lightly and said, “Don’t be angry! Father will definitely come back for such an important occasion. Didn’t he come back every time in the past? Besides, Father doesn’t want to have multiple wives like other men. He has already given you the respect you deserve…”

Their country was open-minded and it was common for men to have a few mistresses in ordinary noble families.

Ye Jingyun had grown up in the country, so she couldn’t support her traditional ideals.

On the other hand, Bei Lei and Bei Xi grew up here. They could naturally accept the fact that a man had a few wives. They didn’t understand why Ye Jingyun wouldn’t allow her father to find another woman.

When they grew up, they gradually understood some things, but they couldn’t change anything.

Moreover, her father had never thought of marrying her mother back then.

If it wasn’t for the fact that her mother was pregnant and her grandmother was involved, her father wouldn’t have married her…

Since she had insisted on it back then, she decided to be magnanimous and let her father marry that woman. At the very least, she wanted her father to remember her. Now…

Who could she blame?

Although these words did not spread, everyone had a tacit understanding.

The reason why she didn’t mention it was because of the royal family.

Ye Jingyun was the adopted daughter of Queen Yulia. Her husband, Duke William, was the nephew of Queen Yulia.

Bailey’s eyes darted around before she led Ye Jingyun to the sofa.

“By the way, Mother, do you remember Shen Fanxing?”

Ye Jingyun’s expression changed. “Yes, why?”

Bei Lei smiled and looked at Ye Jingyun for a long time. There was an unknown expression in her eyes.

“She was invited to the state banquet this time. I wonder if she has other matters to attend to…”

Bei Lei’s words were vague, but Ye Jingyun was exceptionally sensitive to this. She immediately realized that something was wrong and turned to look at Bei Lei coldly.

“What else could it be? What do you want to say?”

Bailey smiled and said, “I’m just worried that Sister will have some unpleasant interactions with her in Ping Cheng. I wonder if she will have any conflicts with Sister this time…”

Ye Jingyun snorted coldly and said, “She was only invited to perform at the state banquet. She’s not qualified to meet you. Let her leave after performing. What does she have to do with you?”

Bailey raised an eyebrow before nodding. “That would be best.”

“Alright, hurry up and change into your gown to rest.”

Ye Jingyun started to get impatient and waved her hand to chase him away.

Bailey glanced at her and stood up. However, after taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Jingyun.

“Mom, is Grandma’s real daughter really dead?”

With a loud bang, Ye Jingyun froze on the spot.

She looked up at Bailey, her eyes filled with vigilance.

“What do you know?!”

Bailey said calmly, “If she’s not dead, can she return to the royal family?”

Bailey knew.

Ye Jingyun thought to herself. At first, she was shocked and flustered. However, the question that Bailey asked made her feel relieved.

“Impossible.”

How could they be back? They would have returned long ago!

The only token had been taken back. What reason did they have to approach their mother?

Ye Jingyun’s attitude finally made Bailey smile. “That’s good.”

Watching Bei Lei leave, a sinister look flashed across Ye Jingyun’s face. After some thought, she picked up her phone…

The call went through quickly.

“Is there a way to stop Shen Fanxing from attending the state banquet?”

A deep baritone voice answered her. “Didn’t you say you weren’t worried? Why did you suddenly think of stopping me?”

“Because I don’t want her to affect my mood!”

–

As the date of the state banquet approached, Shen Fanxing received an invitation from the Count of Country Y.

Because the old master’s observation period had not passed and the plane crash was still being handled, there was no news of Bo Sichen and his wife.

There were too many things that Bo Jinchuan couldn’t leave for the time being.

Shen Fanxing could only go to Country Y alone.

Bo Jinchuan arranged for a group of bodyguards and a private jet.

He escorted Shen Fanxing to Country Y.

In the eyes of others, such a situation was a little too much.

Shen Fanxing felt that Bo Jinchuan’s arrangement was too grand, but she didn’t reject it.

Because of precaution.

Perhaps there were too many eyes staring at her in the dark.

She couldn’t be Bo Jinchuan’s weakness. Besides, she was pregnant now. She couldn’t let anything happen to her.

She couldn’t ask for more assurance.

Because it was a private plane, time was not very tight.

Before Shen Fanxing left, she went to the Chu Group. Because the project she had received from the Yuan Corporation had to be put on the agenda, everything had to be planned carefully.

After the Yuan Corporation’s decline for the past few days, many people began to try to buy over the shares. However, the amount of shares they recovered was not large enough to save the Yuan Corporation.

It was better than nothing.

In the past, it was impossible to notice, but now, it was especially conspicuous.

As for these little tricks, someone mentioned them during the meeting.

President An Chean sneered and turned to look at Shen Fanxing.

“Director Shen, what do you think we should do next?”

Sitting opposite her was the biggest shareholder of the company, Ji Fengmian. An Che threw the question to Shen Fanxing.

The way Director Shen addressed her was really amazing.
