76: Go in

Hearing Li Xingyu praise Ye Sixue to the heavens, Ye Xi couldn't help but feel a little curious; she really wanted to see her.

What this brother-in-law said was right; she indeed needed to expand her network.

"How about this, as long as your sister agrees, I can consider going with you?"

The current Ye Xi always had to consider Li Xuening's feelings. If Li Xuening strongly objected, she definitely wouldn't go.

"Really?" Li Xingyu was very excited. It would definitely be cool to have such a beautiful girl with him.

Seeing Ye Xi nod, Li Xingyu said again, "Later, I will definitely try my best to persuade my sister, even if I have to cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang myself."

Half an hour later, Li Xuening, who had finished her meeting, returned to the conference room. Seeing her younger brother and Ye Xi getting along so well, she was a little surprised. After all, these two were enemies before!

"You two..." Li Xuening pointed at them.

"Sis, why are you and Ye Xi hiding your relationship from me? Don't worry, I definitely won't try to steal her from you." Li Xingyu rubbed his head and chuckled awkwardly.

Li Xuening tapped his head with a folder and glared at him, saying, "Let me tell you, if you have any bad ideas about my partner, you'd better put them away, or I'll smash your head in."

Ye Xi covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Don't be so harsh on your brother. He wouldn't dare to have any bad ideas about me."

Seeing that Ye Xi was even pleading for Li Xingyu, Li Xuening felt awkward saying anything more.

At this moment, Li Xingyu was calculating in his mind how to borrow his Laopo Daren from his sister. He thought of many excuses, but none seemed quite suitable.

"Do you have something to say?" Li Xuening tapped Li Xingyu's head with the folder again, always feeling he was up to no good.

"I want to borrow your partner for a bit?" Li Xingyu was a little nervous.

Li Xuening frowned, a vein popping out on her forehead, and immediately grabbed a broom nearby and swung it at Li Xingyu's head.

The two ran around the long office table. Li Xuening pointed at him and cursed, "You dare to borrow my Laopo Daren? If it weren't for these high heels making me unable to run as fast as you, I'd beat you to death today."

"Sis, stop hitting me, I was wrong." Li Xingyu looked aggrieved.

Ye Xi also felt it was time to increase her presence. She grabbed Li Xuening's hand and cooed, "Honey, maybe you misunderstood him just now. Let's hear what he has to say first."

"Hug me, please. I was distracted several times during the meeting just now because I was thinking of you." Li Xuening smiled brightly.

Ye Xi gave her a big hug, then lowered her head shyly and said, "There are other people here, you know? This isn't really appropriate."

"Let him wait." Li Xuening pouted, looking wronged.

Li Xuening grabbed Ye Xi's hand and kissed Ye Xi's palm with her red lips. Suddenly, Ye Xi felt a ticklish sensation on her hand.

Ye Xi was a little surprised. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Li Xuening held it tightly.

"You really smell so good. If there weren't outsiders here, I'd want to go further."

Although Li Xuening spoke softly, Li Xingyu still heard her. He was a little surprised, 'I'm an outsider?' And what kind of wild talk is this?

Li Xingyu sighed to himself. A Laopo Daren is indeed dearer than a blood sibling.

"Sis, let me explain slowly. Aren't Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue back? You know he often mocks me, so I wanted to bring Ye Xi to fiercely slap them in the face, to let them know who the most beautiful person in the world is."

Li Xuening shook her head, "My Laopo Daren is for you to show off? Do you think that's possible?"

Li Xingyu's eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Sis, actually, you don't know, they don't just mock me; they mock you too?"

Li Xuening's brows furrowed, and a clear displeasure showed in her eyes. 'This person is too bad, right? I'm not even familiar with them, why would they mock me?'

"What did they say about me?"

Li Xingyu, who was lying, felt a little guilty and cleared his throat twice, saying, "He said that although you're a bit better looking than ordinary people, you're not fit for refined occasions. Compared to his sister Ye Sixue, you're several levels below her in both looks and temperament."

"They also said..." Li Xingyu stopped there.

Li Xuening's lips drooped slightly, her face devoid of any smile. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't stop halfway, okay? What else did they say?"

"They also said that a tomboy like you, with no feminine charm, a violent maniac, will definitely not find a suitable partner and will die alone."

Li Xingyu blurted out all his dissatisfaction with Li Xuening. Anyway, he didn't have to take responsibility for these words.

Ye Xi chuckled, then shook her head. This brother-in-law really tells lies without thinking, completely unreliable.

Li Xuening flexed her wrists and chuckled, "Are these their complaints about me, or your complaints about me?"

"Of course it's them! You're my dearest sister, I've never done anything bad to you, have I?" Li Xingyu took two steps back.

Li Xuening certainly remembered Li Xingyu lying and telling her to bring people to beat Ye Xi's Laopo Daren. Thinking about it now, she almost made a huge mistake back then. Thankfully, Laopo Daren didn't hold a grudge, otherwise, she would have regretted it terribly.

"I can find both their phone numbers. If this is something you fabricated, what then?" Li Xuening looked at Li Xingyu, a hint of suspicion in her heart.

"Sis, letting Ye Xi go on this trip won't do us any harm. I'll just say Ye Xi is a relative of our family. It can bring honor to our family, and when your relationship is announced later, it can also boost your image. Ye Xi can also meet more people and broaden her horizons. It's all benefits, no harm."

Li Xuening pondered Li Xingyu's words for a few seconds. What he said actually seemed to make some sense.

Ye Xi was a person with her own thoughts; she couldn't just make decisions for her, could she?

"Honey, do you want to go see? I'll listen to you." Li Xuening walked over and put her arm around Ye Xi's slender waist.

Ye Xi gently brushed a few stray hairs from her forehead and smiled playfully, "I am yours, and considered a part of your family. It's my honor to contribute a small effort to your family. I'm very unhappy that they spoke of you that way. If they speak ill of you again, how about I get revenge for you?"

Ye Xi felt embarrassed to tell Li Xuening that she actually wanted to go see beautiful women. She promised, it was just to look, absolutely no other intentions.

Little Ai really wanted to tell Ye Xi, 'Even if you had other intentions, you couldn't. That's your cousin. Do you want to commit a huge mistake?'

"You're really working hard, but after you go, don't get tempted by other women."

Li Xuening leaned in close to Ye Xi's ear and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "Otherwise, I definitely won't let you off."

Ye Xi's face was flushed, and she cooed softly, "I'm not a playboy. I only belong to Xuening, my darling. Since Xuening, my darling, loves me so much, I couldn't bear to leave you."

"Such a good girl." Li Xuening left a kiss on Ye Xi's forehead.

Li Xingyu rubbed his eyes. "Hey, hey, hey, don't be so seductive, I'm almost getting a nosebleed."

Li Xuening tidied her slightly disheveled clothes, a result of Ye Xi, and cleared her throat twice. "I agree. Let my darling Ye Xi go with you then. Remember, if anything happens to her, I'll hold you responsible."

"Got it." Li Xingyu nodded, his face full of joy.

After Li Xingyu left, Li Xuening couldn't help but complain, "So annoying."

Seeing Li Xuening's lustful gaze assessing her again, Ye Xi had a bad feeling. She quickly checked her phone and said, "The cafeteria is open, I'm going to eat, bye-bye."

Li Xuening chuckled, "Exercising a bit before eating makes the food taste even better."

Before Ye Xi could agree, Li Xuening had already carried her into the small bedroom in the office and thrown her onto the bed.

Ye Xi was speechless, but dotingly said, "You can't kiss me like this every day."

Li Xuening patted her chest and said, "You don't understand me."

Actually, Li Xuening didn't know what was going on. Ever since her birthday, she felt a qualitative change in her body. Now she could run ten laps without getting out of breath.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm." As she spoke, Li Xuening once again pressed Ye Xi down and kissed her.

...

Three days later, at a luxurious manor under the Ye Group.

Outside the magnificent ballroom, various supercars were parked, and there was even a small number of helicopters.

Today was the welcome banquet for the Ye family's eldest grandchildren, Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue. Many people who wanted to curry favor with a prominent family like the Ye family personally attended.

From an outsider's perspective, if they sent a son or daughter here, and they happened to catch the eye of Ye Sirui or Ye Sixue, it would be a huge gain.

As the most outstanding young generation of the Ye family, the two had always managed the Ye family's international business and had been very successful.

Their return this time was met with high hopes from Grandpa Ye, and they were certainly expected to wield great power in the future, which naturally caused quite a stir.

Young men and women, meticulously dressed, conversed in low voices.

"I heard that Ye Sixue is the number one beauty in our circle, as beautiful as a fairy, with unmatched talent. I didn't see her last time she was back, so I definitely have to see her this time." A young man in a custom suit sipped red wine and chuckled.

Another young man nodded and said, "I came here just to see her sister. If we click, I'll propose, and it'll be wonderful."

"Dream on! You guys say that at every big family's banquet you attend." A girl covered her mouth and laughed.

"Tsk, easy for you to say. Don't tell me you think Ye Sirui would take a liking to you." The boys retorted.

The younger generation discussed animatedly. Everyone there was handsome or beautiful, hoping to meet their other half at the banquet.

On the other side, Ye Xi's and Li Xingyu's sports car broke down halfway, forcing them to pull over and take a taxi to the Ye family manor.

"Damn it, we're going to be late!"

Finally, they arrived at the manor entrance, where they were stopped by security.

"Are you VIPs? Please show your invitation."

The middle-aged security guard sized them up. Although the man was a bit handsome compared to ordinary people, he was just average in this setting.

But the girl was truly perfect. Her face, her beautiful legs, her fair skin were impeccable. Even compared to Ye Sixue, she might not be inferior.

"Damn it, if you dare to stare again, I'll gouge out your eyes!" Li Xingyu was annoyed when he saw the security guard looking at Ye Xi with that gaze.

Ye Xi touched her pocket and realized the invitation had been left in the sports car.

"No invitation, please go back. I see you even came by taxi, you're inferior. The Ye family isn't a place just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter." The security guard waved his hand at Li Xingyu.

"I'm going to beat you to death!"

Seeing Li Xingyu about to fight the security guards, Ye Xi had no choice but to pull his sleeve and drag him away.

The two couldn't get in for a while, so they could only move away from the security guards and think of a plan.

"Why don't you call that Ye Sirui?" Ye Xi asked Li Xingyu.

"That's the only way."

Li Xingyu quickly dialed his phone, but there was a busy signal; no one answered.

"Now we can only go home. Seriously, I can't believe it. I even dressed up nicely. It's a huge loss for Ye Sixue not to see me." Li Xingyu angrily kicked a nearby trash can.

Ye Xi was also a little unwilling. She was still hungry, and leaving without getting a meal would be a disservice to her elaborate outfit.

She suddenly remembered that she had a cheat. Could such a small matter stop her?

"Actually, it's easy for me to get in, but you might have to wait outside for a while. Once I'm in, I'll talk to that Ye Sirui and have him let you in." Ye Xi smiled.

"You really have a way?" Li Xingyu was a little skeptical.

"You know nothing about me. Just wait. Don't turn off your phone, I'll come to rescue you very soon."

With that, Ye Xi walked towards the security guards.

"I'm from the Ye family headquarters. I just got off the plane and arrived here. I don't need an invitation to enter. Let me through."

The security guards, who had seen how beautiful Ye Xi was earlier, initially wanted to let her in. But then they saw her speaking nonsense and thought she seemed suspicious.

After careful consideration, they decided not to let her in. If she went in and caused trouble, they would lose their jobs.

"Miss, that's a bit much. We're not fools."

Seeing the security guards' disdainful expressions, Ye Xi merely blinked. The next second, countless memories seemed to flood into their minds. Their faces were filled with shock; this woman really was from the Ye family!

"Sorry, sorry."

The security guards quickly bowed and scraped, their faces filled with terror. They couldn't afford to offend someone of her status; a single word from her could cost them their jobs.

Of course, this was just a skill Ye Xi purchased from the system. It had limited uses and could forcibly implant favorable memories into others' brains to facilitate her actions.

Once Ye Xi left, the memories would automatically disappear from their minds, so much so that those affected wouldn't even know what they had done.

"It's alright, ignorance is bliss."

Seeing the security guards open the gate, Ye Xi walked in with her long, fair legs.

Li Xingyu, who was secretly watching from not far away, was also shocked. She just said a few words and got in? It was that simple?
