Xu Yuning suddenly fell silent, as if he did not want to talk about this topic anymore.

“Have you seen the invitation list for the banquet? You have to accompany Pingping this time.” Xu Hao changed the topic.

Xu Yuning nodded. “The name list has been published online. Even if 1 don’t want to go, I have to go. However, this matter is a little strange. I’ve never heard of any banquet having an invitation list.”

Xu Yuning felt that something was wrong with this matter. The invitation had already been sent to him, so whoever wanted to go naturally went. Moreover, with the Li family’s current status in Ocean City, who would dare not to go?

Unless they didn’t want to stay in Ocean City anymore, Mrs. Li’s husband was now sitting on the first chair in Ocean City. Many people didn’t have the chance to build a relationship with him.

“Yes, this matter is indeed strange. Perhaps the Li family has other plans. Perhaps they want to take this opportunity to help the young lady find a suitable marriage partner. However, don’t get involved in this matter. That young lady has just reached adulthood. Moreover, even if you want to find someone, you can’t find a family member who entered politics. The risk and pressure are high.”

Xu Hao was worried that his son would be tempted, so he simply made it clear.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not interested in young people. Besides, you’re right. The aristocratic families in the political world are indeed not suitable for our family. We’d better be down-to-earth and do our business well. At least we don’t have to be afraid of earning this money.” Xu Yuning shared his father’s thoughts on this matter.

“Brother, I have something to talk to you about alone. Come over for a while.”

“What can’t you say here? Why must you make it so mysterious?”

“Come quickly. It’s just for a while. It won’t take too long.”

Xu Pingping quietly waved at Xu Yuning, indicating for him to go to the second floor of the villa.

“Alright, what’s the matter?”

“Brother, let me show you something.” Xu Pingping mysteriously brought her brother to the public cloakroom on the second floor. There were all kinds of gowns that the Xu family usually wore for formal occasions. There were hundreds of gowns of different styles and seasons. They looked very graceful and luxurious when placed together.

“Why did you bring me to see these?” Xu Yuning was a little puzzled.

“Come and take a look at this gown.” Xu Pingping chose a red gown from the women’s gown.

Xu Yuning could tell at a glance. His gaze instantly became complicated. “Isn’t this…?”

Xu Pingping nodded. “Yes, this is the gown that our family customized for Sister Youyi. At that time, the first batch of gowns and wedding dresses was cut and thrown away by Mom. This was sent later. It was originally meant to be worn on the day of the homecoming banquet. I saw that the tag said 89,000, so 1 couldn’t bear to tell Mom.”

“It’s pretty. You can keep it for yourself.” Xu Yuning’s voice was hoarse.

“Brother, 1 can’t wear this. This is custom-made according to Sister Youyi’s height and weight.” Xu Pingping liked this gown, but she really couldn’t wear it.

Xu Yuning pondered for a moment and could not help but say what was on his mind. “Since it’s tailor-made according to her height and weight, no one else can wear it. It’s a waste to throw it away. Go and send it to her. Don’t say that I gave it to her.”

“What if Sister Youyi rejects it?”

“Then just throw it away.” After saying this, Xu Yuning turned around and left. It was as if he did not want to talk about Jiang Youyi’s past anymore. It was bitter and heartbreaking to talk about it. Especially when he saw this gown that was originally prepared for the homecoming banquet. In just a short month, everything had changed.

In the past, he would never have thought that he would break up with Jiang Youyi and even become worse than a stranger.

The next morning, Xu Pingping brought the gown to the Jiang family. Coincidentally, only Jiang Youyi and Housekeeper Sister Fang were at home. Everyone else went to the company to play mahjong.

“Miss, Miss Xu is here to look for you again.” Housekeeper Sister Fang instinctively thought that Xu Pingping was here to persuade her brother again and persuade Third Miss to forgive her scumbag brother, so she did not give her a good attitude.

“Got it. 1’11 go down now.” Jiang Youyi put on a sweater and jacket and shuffled downstairs in her slippers.

Xu Pingping sat on the sofa in the living room with an exquisite handbag in her hand. It was very big and conspicuous. “Sister Youyi, I’m sorry to disturb you again.”

“It’s fine, Sister Fang. Pour Pingping a glass of fruit juice.”

“There’s no need to trouble yourself, Sister Youyi. I’m here to deliver the gown to you. I’m leaving after that.”

“Send me a gown?” Jiang Youyi was stunned..
