"Miss Su, I have so fantastic news to share with you. My brother-in-law’s family is preparing to matchmake him again. And guess what, you’re at the top of the candidate list. Happy to hear that?" Lin Yishan said gleefully, knowing full well that Su Yixia, always acting too good for others, was actually quite curious about the never-before-seen Xiao Yebai.
In other words, Su Yixia had been secretly admiring Xiao Yebai.
Su Yixia wouldn’t dare say she was completely infatuated with a man she’d never t, but just think about the background of the Xiao Family, what woman wouldn’t be tempted?
Especially since Su Yixia’s mind was still reeling from the bombshell Su Yide had dropped on her last night.
How could it be that Gu Nuan and young master Xiao are together now?
True or false. She had prodded Gu Nuan all evening without getting a straight answer. But Gu Nuan was becoming increasingly mysterious, always hiding the secret of where she lived.
This made Su Yixia feel more and more uneasy.
If Gu Nuan was really getting close to so man, Su Yixia would feel uncomfortable too.
Just think, Gu Nuan is rely a deaf person who was dumped by a man, and so quickly soone else took an interest in her. How could all the other leftover won feel okay about that? Especially when the great beauty Su Yixia is still alone.
"Why aren’t you speaking?" After waiting a long ti, and not hearing the enthusiastic response she expected, Lin Yishan was surprised and asked.
"My brother said that last night, he saw Gu Nuan and a man together at their family hospital, but he couldn’t confirm who the man was."
At the ntion of Gu Nuan, Lin Yishan’s ears pricked up imdiately: "What? She was chasing n in the hospital in the dead of night?"
"It’s unclear whether she caught him at the hospital. But, according to my brother, that man seems to be quite rich," Su Yixia would not tell Lin Yishan the unconfird suspicion about Xiao Yebai. If it wasn’t him, they could be accused of slandering and rumor-mongering against the Xiao Family, and both she and her brother would suffer the consequences.
Lin Yishan’s mood clearly soured as well, as she said coldly, "Your brother must be dreaming, right?"
If it wasn’t a dream, what was it? Ditched by a man and still able to snag a rich one? Pure fantasy!
"I’m also afraid that my brother saw it wrong. But he says he didn’t. So today, I sent a ssage to Gu Nuan to ask where she’s living, and she’s been keeping it a secret until now, not even showing her face during video calls. Don’t you think she’s obviously hiding a man in her apartnt and doesn’t want us to see?" Su Yixia’s tone inevitably revealed her anxiety.
Lin Yishan poked her sharply with a comnt, "Why do you care so much about her? That toad of hers, she’ll never eat swan at anyway because she couldn’t even hold on to Wa Zicong. What you should be more concerned about is yourself. What do you say, will you co to the Xiao Family’s invitation?"
"You’re talking about your brother-in-law?"
"Yes."
"But last ti, didn’t he refuse to et with ?"
"This ti you can rest assured, I won’t say I’ve asked you to et him. I’ll trick him into coming out, then it’s up to you to do whatever it takes to latch onto him," Lin Yishan replied.
Lin Yishan’s new sche seed to be a lot better than the last arrangent. After so consideration, Su Yixia agreed to it.

In the small apartnt,
Gu Nuan had barely taken a bite of her rice when a pair of chopsticks reached out and snagged the third chicken leg from her plate.
There were only three chicken legs in total.
She had left one for herself, expecting to give him two.
He ate the two in a flash and grabbed the last one as well.
What a glutton!
Xiao Yebai, licking the chicken bones, suddenly looked at the empty plate and asked, "What about yours?"
