Thankfully, Yi Lingjun was probably in a good mood from being reunited with his daughter, so he invited his disciples and some higher-ups from the Arbitration Council. Nearly all of the well-known members of Tianshui City also attended as well.

  Qin Xiyuan and Yin Heng naturally attended.

  Several socialites were gathered together and brimmed with stunned admiration as they examined the sumptuous setting of the venue and the long line of prestigious guests.

  “Wow! What an enormous procession!”


  “Right? It’s just a normal party, but it’s more extravagant than Qin Xiyuan’s coming-of-age ceremony back then!”


  “After all, she’s the daughter of Sir President. Even though there’s just a single-word difference between president and vice president, the differences are mammoth, alright?!”


  “Shhh, tone it down! Don’t let Qin Xiyuan overhear you!”


  …


  Discussions similar to this hadn’t ceased since yesterday night, so how could Qin Xiyuan be ignorant to thoughts like this? However, due to Father’s instructions, she repressed herself from erupting.

  She seriously couldn’t understand how President Yi suddenly gained a daughter, especially one so similar looking to Worriless Nie. What was more coincidental was that Yi Yunmo also seemed to have taken a fancy to Si Yehan!

  Qin Xiyuan secretly sent people to investigate her, and there didn’t seem to be any flaws regarding Yi Yunmo’s identity. She was indeed President Yi’s daughter, but Qin Xiyuan still felt like something was off about it.

  Was there some issue there?

  Yin Heng’s attitude today regained its previous gentleness and consideration. He accompanied her the entire time and took care of her attentively.

  “Yuanyuan, what did Vice President Qin say about me entering the Arbitration Council?”


  “Don’t worry. I’ve already mentioned it to Father, and there won’t be any problems. There happens to be an opening for a Director position and requires someone suitable to take it.”


  Joy took over Yin Heng’s face. “Seriously? That’s great! This way, I can do my dues for Vice President Qin and help him more by his side.”


  As for Ye Wanwan, she was about to break down because of Yi Lingjun. She had finally waited until today’s meetings concluded and was prepared to launch her plan to find Si Yehan. However, to her surprise, Yi Lingjun planned some kind of party and invited a bunch of people, dragging her and introducing her to every single person.

  Judging from his behavior, he wanted nothing more than to brag and show to everyone that he had a daughter…


  Ye Wanwan was so exhausted she didn’t want to tread another step. “Say, Master…”


  Yi Lingjun’s expression dropped instantly. “What did you call me?”


  Ye Wanwan could only correct herself. “Sir Father… I have business to take care of, so can I leave now?”


  Yi Lingjun rolled his eyes at her. “You’re the main star today, so how could you leave now? Anyway, what business could you possibly have?”


  “To find my man, of course! I was planning to ask him out on a date tonight, but you ruined all my plans!” Ye Wanwan said righteously.

  Yi Lingjun’s expression darkened. “What do you want to seek him out for, huh? You want to seek him out, but he doesn’t care about you, let alone go on a date with you! I also invited that guy to tonight’s party, but he’s the one who didn’t want to come! He must not like you, so you should stop chasing after him, or else you’re going to end up like Qin Xiyuan! I can’t lose face!”


  Ye Wanwan peered at him from the corner of her eyes. “Are you kidding me, Dad? Forget about me switching disguises, but even if I stuffed myself into a turtle shell, if I wanted to seduce him, I could absolutely seduce him!”


  Yi Lingjun had nothing but disdain on his face, his disbelief clear as day. “I don’t think so. He didn’t want to come despite me personally inviting him, so he probably doesn’t want to be connected to you in any way or fashion!”


  Chapter 2320 Was she old and unable to lift a backsword anymore?

  Ye Wanwan was rendered speechless by Yi Lingjun, her feelings complicated!

  From Worriless Nie’s viewpoint, she should be happy that Si Yehan didn’t come. However, from Yi Yunmo’s viewpoint, she was a bit angry.

  Freaking! Who cared who she was?! She just had to become connected to him!

  Ye Wanwan occasionally glanced at the entrance but still didn’t see Si Yehan’s figure. However, the people hitting on her came one wave after another.

  In some nearby corner:

  The director, who brought his son to gain favor with Ye Wanwan last time but had his son run off on him, was also in attendance today.

  “Xu Yang, if you dare to run away again today like last time, you don’t want to know how I’ll punish you!”


  “Dad… Could it be that you brought me back here simply to make me do this kind of thing? To seduce and curry favor with a woman?” The youth was infuriated, his eyes scarlet.

  The director snorted. “Why else? Your martial arts skills are the same as a crippled person! Aside from having a decent-looking face, what use are you to the Xu family?”


  “Dad…” The youth was incredulous.

  “If you dare to be disobedient again this time, pack your bags and leave the Xu family!” The director handed a room card to him. “I’ve arranged everything already, so immediately get your ass in this room. As long as you can make Miss Yi happy, I’ll consider the matter of bringing your mother back to the Independent State!”


  The youth tightly clenched the room card, his eyes gradually becoming resigned.

  …


  Ye Wanwan’s attention was wholeheartedly focused on the entrance, so she was ignorant to the events occurring in the dark.

  It was halfway through the party, and the one person who should’ve come still wasn’t here.

  Ye Wanwan lost all patience and was about to leave since she was selling an apathetic and haughty persona anyway.

  However, she had just taken a step when she saw a familiar figure appearing at the entrance with Lin Que and Yu Shao trailing behind him.

  Since today’s party was more private and less official, Si Yehan was dressed slightly more casually. He was wearing a loose-cut casual outfit with a windbreaker over it. His pale complexion caused his self-restrictive demeanor to lose some of its harshness and look a little more harmless. It was harder for people to look away.

  D*mn! He finally came!

  Ye Wanwan wasted half a night waiting, so she was rather resentful.

  “Director Si, welcome!” Yi Lingjun walked over and greeted him with a wine glass in hand. He said with a concerned tone, “If you truly felt unwell, you didn’t need to come.”


  As soon as Si Yehan came, his daughter had no time to pay attention to him, her dad.

  Si Yehan politely said, “It was just some mild illness. How could I pass on the President’s invitation? Furthermore, I would like to discuss the proposed law from last time with you in detail.”


  Ye Wanwan’s expression darkened when she heard this from nearby.

  Don’t tell me he came here despite not feeling well purely because of Yi Lingjun???

  Yi Lingjun glanced at Ye Wanwan, clearly rejoicing in her misfortune. He passionately received Si Yehan. “Great great great, we’ll talk over there!”


  He dragged Si Yehan away immediately.

  The utterly ignored Ye Wanwan: “…”


  Medusa walked over and whispered to Ye Wanwan, “Little Junior Sister, Si Yehan really seems to be completely uninterested in you!”


  Ye Wanwan: “…”


  Was she seriously old and unable to lift a backsword anymore?

  She actually couldn’t seduce him…
