42: reunion

Jiang Li received a message from her father saying that the Cheng Family's factory had been shut down.

No specific news had been released yet.

It was likely that the people behind the Cheng Family were also being investigated, so the information was being suppressed.

Jiang Li thought to herself that this was only the beginning. How he treated her family in her previous life, she would pay back twofold in this life.

Recently, the Fu Group had already begun preparations for that plot of land in the south of the city.

It was estimated that construction would start before long.

Jiang Li had been very comfortable lately.

Renovations had also started at Changdao Manor. Li Xiang would video call her from time to time to ask for her opinion.

At Shiguang Apartment,

Jiang Li was currently coordinating her outfit because today was the day for her college dormitory reunion dinner.

"Lili, are you ready?" Yu Mo asked over a voice call.

"Almost ready."

"Alright then, I'll go to the station to pick them up first. Hurry up and get over there."

"Okay, I got it."

Jiang Li changed into a black striped long dress, paired it with a pearl necklace, and picked up a pearl bag, ready to leave.

Only then did she remember her younger brother was at home.

"Xiao Nan."

Jiang Nan was doing homework in his room. Hearing her call, he asked, "Big Sister, what's wrong?"

Jiang Li gave him instructions while changing her shoes: "I'll be back very late today. If you want to eat anything, just find Mu Jin. If you want to go out, bring your phone."

Jiang Nan replied, "I know, Big Sister. Don't worry, I've already made plans to go out with some good friends today."

"Okay, then be careful. I'll transfer some money to you in a bit so you can have a good time. If you go out for lunch, I'll have someone save a table for you at Louju Pavilion."

"Okay, Big Sister, no problem."

"Mhm, I'm leaving now." After saying that, she opened the door and left.

She didn't have many cars at Shiguang Apartment, so she chose a rolls-royce phantom, which was also a reward from the system.

She started the car, left the underground garage, and headed towards Magic City Airport.

Yu Mo had arrived an hour early, but she found that Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin's flight was delayed, so she waited for Jiang Li at the airport.

Once Jiang Li arrived, the two of them waited for the others together.

Finally, half an hour later, they saw them.

Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin spotted the two of them as soon as they came out.

After all, those two were far too conspicuous.

One was wearing a Chanel long dress and the other was in a Givenchy suit; they were truly something.

"Lili, Momo, we're here!" Li Yanchu was wearing a pink dress suit, looking very cute.

Seeing them, she went straight forward and hugged them.

Xia Huiyin was a bit more reserved, but she was also excited.

Jiang Li felt like she was being smothered. "Chuchu, hurry up and let go, Momo and I can't breathe!"

Hearing this, Li Yanchu immediately let go, only to find the two of them were perfectly fine. "Fine, Lili, you've even learned how to lie to people."

Jiang Li smiled faintly and said, "I wouldn't call it lying, it's just a white lie, haha!"

As soon as she said that, everyone present burst out laughing.

"Alright, you've been on a plane for so long, you must be hungry. Let's go eat; I've already booked a table."

"Okay."

Arriving at the parking lot and seeing the rolls-royce phantom, Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin were completely stunned.

Yu Mo was fine; after all, she had been stunned many times before.

"Alright, get in the car quickly."

Under Jiang Li's urging, they all got into the car.

Jiang Li drove, Yu Mo sat in the passenger seat, and Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin sat in the back.

"Lili, did you win the lottery? Or are you just a rich woman?"

Li Yanchu asked out of curiosity.

Xia Huiyin was also very curious. "Yeah, Lili, if you're a rich woman, then back when you were in school... honestly, you hid it so well!"

"Haha, it's alright. Momo and I booked a table at Qingzhou Small Courtyard."

Qingzhou Small Courtyard was an American-style restaurant and a great place for a gathering.

Specifically, it was very difficult to get a reservation here.

Yu Mo said, "Qingzhou Small Courtyard is really too hard to book. This is all thanks to Lili."

Hearing this, Li Yanchu said, "Lili, you're truly amazing. Please support me; I don't mind the stench of money at all."

Xia Huiyin added, "Me too, I don't mind it either."

Jiang Li laughed twice. "If I'm supporting you, then who's going to support me?"

Yu Mo suggested, "Lili, how about you find yourself a younger guy?"

Jiang Li heard this and asked, "Find a younger guy? How young are we talking? Still in high school?"

Yu Mo and the two in the back seat all nodded together. "Sure, no problem at all."

Jiang Li hadn't expected this from the three of them. "Ha, I'd better not go and mess with some young boy! Alright, stop joking around, we've reached our destination."

Since Qingzhou Small Courtyard wasn't in the city center and wasn't very far from the airport, they arrived quickly.

After the four of them went inside, someone led them to an exclusive private room.

Because this was a room Jiang Li had paid to book, it was on the sixth floor.

"Hello, we'd like to order."

The waiter replied, "Certainly, Miss."

After Jiang Li booked the room, the owner had instructed that they must be served well, so the waiter was very respectful.

Jiang Li and the others looked at the menu. "We'll have an order of American BBQ, the beef pot, and french fries."

The waiter responded, "Understood, Miss."

Yu Mo and the others then ordered roast chicken and American barbecue.

Then they ordered four coffees and two ice creams.

The waiter noted everything down and then instructed the kitchen to prepare this table's food first.

Before long, all the dishes were served.

The four of them chatted while they ate; being in the private room was very pleasant.

After finishing lunch, they went to the TX Center.

This was the trendiest shopping center in Magic City, with many original boutiques and a bar on the top floor.

When Jiang Li arrived, she still browsed through the shops one by one.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, someone suddenly pushed Yu Mo down.

Jiang Li, Li Yanchu, and Xia Huiyin saw this and immediately rushed forward.

Jiang Li and Li Yanchu helped Yu Mo up, while Xia Huiyin directly paid the person back in their own coin, pushing them to the ground as well.

"Do you know who I am?! How dare you push me! And that Yu Mo is no good person anyway, why are you helping her!"

The woman had been pushed to the ground, and although she was helped up by the people beside her, her mouth didn't stop at all.

Jiang Li heard this and thought, why is it that every time someone looks for trouble, the first sentence is always 'Do you know who I am?'

She was sick of it.

Hearing those words now, she replied, "We don't know who you are, but you pushed someone for no reason, so you should apologize."

Yu Mo's hand was scraped. She had been holding things just now, and because of the momentum, she had braced herself with her hand; as a result, the bag in her hand had cut her skin.

Seeing this, Li Yanchu immediately had the shop's sales staff bring alcohol and cotton balls for disinfection.

That woman's hand was only slightly red; she wasn't injured at all.

Yet she was still being relentless.

Li Yanchu gently wiped Yu Mo's scrape with the alcohol and cotton ball. "Momo, does it hurt?"

Yu Mo shook her head. "You guys are really too worried about me. I'm fine, it's just a little scrape."

"Alright, be careful. In the future, if you encounter this kind of person, just strike back immediately. Even if we get hurt, she shouldn't get off easy either," Li Yanchu said, finally looking over at the person on the other side.

"Okay, I got it."
