In the hall, there remained only Jiang Li and their group, along with the people from the Mystical Investigation Bureau.
After talking with him for a few moments, Father Yu went off to discuss with Mr. Yu and the Li Family Master.
Jiang Li watched as the people from the Mystical Investigation Bureau hesitated for quite a while before coming over, shyly offering a business card with both hands.
"Miss Jiang, hello, I’m Lin Jingshan from the Mystical Investigation Bureau. This is my business card. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact us."
Jiang Li glanced at the man’s appearance before her.
Square face, open eyebrows and eyes — it’s someone with a promising career ahead, certain to achieve great success.
As for his character, that’s not bad either, quite reliable.
Jiang Li took the business card, "Investigator Lin, hello."
Someone had previously messaged her privately saying she was being noticed by the Investigation Bureau people.
She hadn’t paid much attention then, but thinking back now, it seems person had been observing her since she entered.
Indeed, fame brings trouble.
Fortunately, she hadn’t had any mischievous thoughts; otherwise, she’d probably have been invited for a talk already.
Thinking about it, she really should maintain good relations with these official folks.
Jiang Li lifted her chin slightly, "Do you have another card? Could you give one to this Daoist too?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Jingshan quickly took another card from his bag and handed it to Changqing.
However, Changqing seemed not very interested in this official Investigation Bureau, simply nodded politely and said nothing more.
Soon after, Yu Li came over to invite them for dinner.
Changqing originally intended to decline and leave, but Jiang Li pulled him back.
"Mr. Yu is being so hospitable; it wouldn’t be right to refuse again."
He reasonably suspected Jiang Li was doing it for revenge.
This time, the Yu Family had specially arranged for them to be in the dining room, with more exquisite dishes laid on the table, and even the utensils were custom-made.
Clearly meant for treating valued guests.
Father Yu raised his glass of wine first and looked at everyone.
"Thanks to everyone for today’s matters, please enjoy yourselves. Later tonight, I will also arrange for someone to send everyone home."
Jiang Li exchanged a few polite courtesies before sitting down to enjoy the feast.
In such big families, their private cooking generally exceeds the standard of five-star restaurants.
Opportunities to eat won’t come often later; today, it’s best to enjoy it while it lasts.
Jiang Li suddenly thought of Zhao Lang.
The Yu Family’s standards were already this high; the Gu Family surely would surpass them.
Finding an excuse to visit his home to try their private cooking seems like a great idea too.
Just as she was dreaming away, a voice calling out suddenly reached her ears.
Jiang Li looked up to see Mr. Yu smiling broadly at her.
"Miss Jiang, could you come over for a moment?"
Jiang Li blinked and without hesitation, put down her bowl and chopsticks to walk over.
In her eyes, Mr. Yu was the epitome of a kind and benevolent patriarch.
Moreover, he had devoted his life to practicing medicine and saving lives, radiating a clean and pure aura.
She was also very willing to interact with him.
"Grandpa Yu, what’s the matter?"
Upon hearing Jiang Li call him like that, Mr. Yu wasn’t angry at all, but rather appeared even happier.
He pulled out a cellphone from his pocket.
With a confused expression from Jiang Li, he spoke a sentence that puzzled her further —
"Can I take a picture with you?"
The request was so strange that Jiang Li almost thought she’d misheard it.
But Mr. Yu asked again —
"Why, are you unwilling?"
"No, no, I’m willing." Jiang Li quickly waved her hands.
She had been dining and drinking all day, refusing a photo would seem terribly ungrateful.
So Jiang Li smiled and took dozens of photos with Mr. Yu.
But even as she returned to her seat, she remained confused.
Why would the old man want to take a photo with her out of the blue?
Meanwhile, at the Gu Family.
In the study, Gu Shengrong was having a meeting with several elders from the family when his phone suddenly chimed.
He took a symbolic glance and found it was a message from that old man in the Yu Family.
What was this old ghost sending him now?
Upon opening it, it turned out to be a picture.
As soon as he saw who was in the picture, Gu Shengrong immediately became unsettled.
He quickly dismissed the elders, storming into Zhao Lang’s office with a livid face.
At the time, Zhao Lang was conducting an online meeting; he could see the old man barging in furiously from a distance.
He shut the screen off and asked, "What’s the matter? Who upset you now?"
"Wasn’t it that old man from the Yu Family again!" Gu Shengrong slammed his cellphone onto the table with a loud noise, "He’s using this photo to provoke me!"
Zhao Lang caught the glimpse of Jiang Li’s smiling face on the screen, chuckling, "It’s well taken."
Gu Shengrong’s fury surged even more, "Well taken? Doesn’t it mean anything to you? Obviously, he’s declaring war on me! I asked you to invite Miss Jiang to our house for dinner, yet you haven’t managed to do so, while she’s already gone to the Yu Family to eat."
"So, what’s the problem?"
"What’s the problem? Don’t you remember that the old man’s grandson is about your age? Look at what he’s doing; obviously, he has an interest in Miss Jiang!"
He had seen the boy from the Yu Family who was also quite handsome.
Although compared to his grandson, he fell short.
But what if Jiang Li preferred him?
No, he definitely couldn’t let such a good granddaughter-in-law go to the old man from the Yu Family!
Zhao Lang sat in his executive chair, nodding solemnly, "Lili is indeed excellent, and having so many admirers is only natural."
Seeing him with such a nonchalant attitude, Gu Shengrong was about to rip off his slippers and whack him.
"I don’t care; if my granddaughter-in-law is lost because of this, you don’t need to come back!"
After finishing the meal, night had completely fallen at the Yu Family.
Father Yu had the servant bring out several lamps and continued chatting a bit more.
Finally, he looked at Jiang Li again, folding his arms, "For future matters regarding Qixing Tower, we’ll rely on Miss Jiang to keep an eye on them."
From his tone, Jiang Li knew they had already reached a consensus with the Investigation Bureau, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yu, for trusting me. However, I have a better candidate."
In the next moment, she pulled Changqing over, who had been quietly drinking tea.
"Taoist Changqing is much more capable than I am; many ideas today were his, and not to mention his master has ties with the Yu Family, it would be better for him to participate in the planning and construction."
Father Yu’s eyes lit up, immediately cupping his hands in salute to Changqing.
"Then we’ll rely on Taoist Changqing for guidance in future."
Changqing: "....... "
He glanced sideways, meeting Jiang Li’s smiling eyes.
Indeed, she did it on purpose.
The guests began to leave Yu Mansion one after another, and Mr. Yu, while seeing them off, also signaled to Yu Li.
"Miss Jiang is your guest; aren’t you going to see her home quickly?"
Yu Qing punched him on the side, "Why are you so wooden, do you mean to let Miss Lili go home alone?"
