After hanging up, Bailey asked, “What made you so excited?”


  Bei Xi smiled happily and said, “I’ll definitely take revenge for the grudge I had with that woman in Ping Cheng City a few days ago! I’m really lucky that she’s attending this state banquet!”


  Bailey raised an eyebrow. “That Shen woman?”


  “Of course! She was the one who slapped me several times at her engagement ceremony with Mr. Bo! Damn it! I’ll make her life a living hell this time!”


  Bailey’s face darkened instantly.

  It was actually that lowly woman!

  “Damn it indeed!”


  Her unhurried words caused the atmosphere to turn sinister.

  Seeing Bei Lei’s rare expression, Bei Xi smiled and looked forward to the state banquet even more.

  At this moment, Ye Jingyun came out of the sweat room next door and heard Bei Lei’s words. She said in a low voice,

  “What are you talking about?”


  Bei Xi pouted and said to Ye Jingyun,

  “Besides, that b*tch with the surname Shen. Mom, do you know that she will be attending this state banquet too…”


  Ye Jingyun’s expression changed drastically!

  Noticing Ye Jingyun’s expression, a faint glint flashed across her eyes.

  “Mom, is there a problem?”


  Ye Jingyun snapped back to reality and retracted the flustered expression on her face. She pretended to be calm and said,

  “Yes… I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with. I’ll leave first. The two of you should go home obediently last night, okay? Behave yourselves. The entire country is tense now. Moreover… the other brothers and sisters are all waiting to be used against me. At this critical moment, you better not cause trouble again! Especially Bei Xi, you have to learn to think before you speak and do anything! Understand?!”


  Bei Xi didn’t like hearing this. She frowned and didn’t respond. However, Bei Lei said, “We know. I’ll help to look after Bei Xi. If you have something to do, go ahead.”


  Ye Jingyun nodded and turned around.

  Just as she left the beauty salon, Ye Jingyun made a call.

  Half an hour later, in a café owned by Ye Jingyun, she sat opposite a bald man.

  “What should we do? Hurry up and think of a way. If Ji Fengmian comes…”


  The bald man opposite her said calmly, “Why are you so flustered? If she could find us, she would have done so long ago. Why would she wait for more than thirty years and not come back? Don’t worry, if she didn’t come back more than thirty years ago, she wouldn’t be able to come back today…”


  Ye Jingyun was stunned. “What do you mean?”


  The bald man glanced at her. “Do you still remember why you were adopted by the Queen?”


  Ye Jingyun clenched the coffee cup in her hand and thought for a while before saying,

  “It’s because of the pair of gold and jade bracelets…”


  Ye Jingyun stopped breathing for a few seconds and looked at the bald man. “You mean…”


  The bald man sneered. “She doesn’t even have the only token on her. How do you think she can come back? Does anyone believe that she’s the queen’s biological daughter?”


  “DNA test? Queen Yulia is the ruler of Country Y. How can she meet her just because she wants to? She doesn’t even have the right to approach her. Who is she going to do a DNA test with? Moreover, DNA tests can be ‘not accurate’. You can do whatever you want on the DNA! Can’t you do this?”


  The bald man’s words finally calmed Ye Jingyun down.

  “You’re right. It’s all that b*tch’s fault for messing up my plans! You’re right. If she could come back, she wouldn’t have waited until now…”


  –


  Shen Fanxing scrolled to Country Y’s state banquet and remembered that she had been invited to perform.

  However, her song…


  A bored person suddenly sat up on the sofa!

  She had yet to decide on the song for the state banquet!

  She hurriedly washed up and went straight to the company!

  In terms of music, she could only rely on Ji Yi.

  The date of the state banquet was approaching. In such a short period of time, she didn’t have the time to write songs.

  When she entered the company, she was blocked by Ji Yi.

  It was rare to see Shen Fanxing in such a hurry. Ji Yi was shocked.

  “CEO… CEO Shen, did something happen?”


  Shen Fanxing nodded and asked, “Ji Yi, is it time to use your skills?”


  “Huh?” What… skill did she have?

  “Music. I haven’t settled the song for Country Y’s banquet. Do you have any recommendations or songs that you can use at the banquet?”


  Ji Yi was surprised. “A song used at the state banquet? I…”


  Before Ji Yi could finish her sentence, Shen Fanxing’s phone rang.

  It was a call from Ji Fengmian.

  She walked out of the recording studio and answered the call. “Hello…”


  Shen Fanxing’s sentence was cut off by a deep voice.

  “You want to attend Country Y’s state banquet?”


  Shocked by Ji Fengmian’s sinister voice, Shen Fanxing paused for a few seconds before saying,

  “Yes, what’s wrong?”


  At that moment, Ji Fengmian was sitting in the living room, his hand trembling as he held his phone. Upon hearing Shen Fanxing’s words, her other hand gripped the blanket tightly.

  Suppressing her trembling voice, she said,

  “When did this happen? Who invited you?”


  Shen Fanxing answered truthfully, “About four months ago. Back then, she attended Old Master Pei’s birthday banquet in the capital city and was invited by a duke from Country Y to perform at the state banquet…”


  Four months ago… in the capital… Old Master Pei’s birthday celebration…


  Ji Fengmian closed his eyes slowly.

  It turned out that four months ago…


  So many accidental locations and events…


  Ji Fengmian’s long silence made Shen Fanxing feel that something was amiss.

  “Mom, what happened?”


  After a long while, Ji Fengmian slowly opened his eyes. “…I don’t know. Come back tomorrow.”


  ‘You don’t?’


  What kind of answer was that?

  Why would someone as intelligent and strong as her mother say something like “I don’t know”?

  Shen Fanxing’s expression turned cold and her voice became stronger. “I’ll go back now!”


  “No need. I’m very tired now and need to rest. Come back tomorrow. I’m fine. Your Uncle Chu is beside me.”


  Then, Uncle Chu’s voice sounded from Shen Fanxing’s phone. “Don’t worry, Miss. Miss didn’t take a break from watching a movie this afternoon. She should be sleeping now.”


  Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Alright, I’ll go back tomorrow.”


  Uncle Chu hung up. Seeing Ji Fengmian sitting in the wheelchair silently, he hesitated for a while before speaking.

  “Missy…”


  “Uncle Chu…” Ji Fengmian looked at the parasol tree that was about to lose its leaves and said slowly,”


  “Do you think Fanxing will agree if I reject her?”
