Chapter 538: Your Good Days Are Over

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she saw a figure dressed in grand attire walk in from outside.

She paused for a moment and hurriedly looked toward the door again, only to realize that she was the only one who had entered.

"Liu Rumeng? How could she come here? When did she return?"

Cai Xiaotang also followed Jiang Baobao's gaze, her expression instantly turning somewhat surprised.

Then, she suddenly became guarded and hurriedly leaned into Jiang Baobao's ear, whispering, "Baobao, she must have seen the news of you and Li Beijue going public, which is why she rushed back! Didn't she hint to you before that she was the one Li Beijue truly loved?"

Cai Xiaotang knew everything about Liu Rumeng's affairs, so her tone was not pleasant when speaking of her.

Jiang Baobao withdrew her gaze from Liu Rumeng and shook her head lightly.

"Whatever the reason for her return, as long as she doesn't provoke me, it's fine."

Jiang Baobao said this indifferently, not telling Cai Xiaotang about what happened two days ago.

After she finished speaking, she saw Liu Rumeng indeed approaching Li Beijue.

"Jue, sorry, I'm late. Good evening, Li Laoyezi."

Liu Rumeng smiled and greeted Li Beijue and Li Laoyezi, then feigned surprise as she looked at the three little ones in front of her.

"Hello, you three. It's been so long, have you grown taller again?"

She deliberately put on a kind and amiable appearance, and her words were instantly heard by the people around and Li Laoyezi.

"Rumeng, have you already met Mobai and Tiantian?"

Li Laoyezi asked casually.

Liu Rumeng hurriedly replied, "Yes, Jue specifically brought the children to see me once before."

She deliberately emphasized the word "specifically," showing off her special status to Li Beijue in front of those around her, which indeed drew envious looks from some other women.

Mobai, however, replied without giving her any face: "Is that so? But why don't I remember you, Auntie?"

Liu Rumeng paused upon hearing this, her face unable to hold its expression.

This brat!

Still as annoying as ever!

Sooner or later, she would find an opportunity to tear his mouth apart!

Liu Rumeng cursed in her heart and wanted to say something else to get close, but her peripheral vision caught Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang walking back.

Seeing Cai Xiaotang standing next to Li Xiao, she suddenly remembered something, and a flash of disdain crossed her eyes.

Hmph... how could she forget, this illegitimate daughter of the Mu Family is now also the Third Madam of the Li Family.

As expected of Jiang Baobao's friend!

Both of them are truly good at seducing men!

Jiang Baobao being able to reconcile with Jue so quickly must have involved her pushing things along!

And Li Laoyezi... to be in such a rush to announce this!

She had thought she would have more time to prepare, but there was only one chance!

Today, she must take a risk!

Liu Rumeng thought to herself, a dark glint flashing in her eyes as she lowered her head to check the time, appearing calm.

It was almost time...

Tonight would be the last time this woman, Jiang Baobao, could enjoy the limelight.

After today, she would become a target of public scorn, the most shameful existence in the Li Family!

She wouldn't even be fit to be the mother of these three children!

Liu Rumeng calculated secretly, while outwardly greeting Jiang Baobao in a very friendly manner: "Miss Jiang, haven't seen you in a few days, you've become even more beautiful."

Jiang Baobao couldn't be bothered to deal with her, only nodding indifferently and asking with some confusion, "Where is Xinaijie? Why didn't she come?"

Liu Rumeng felt annoyed again, but she replied with a smile: "My sister is busy preparing for her wedding recently, so she is truly too busy. My future brother-in-law is naturally accompanying her, so I am here to attend on their behalf today."

"It doesn't matter, it's the same whoever comes. Speaking of which... the wedding between the Liu Family girl and that boy from the Qin Family should be coming up soon, right?"

Li Laoyezi naturally knew about this and asked casually.

Just as Liu Rumeng was about to answer, the Li Family butler walked over and whispered a few words into the old man's ear.

"Laoyezi, it's about time, the guests have all arrived, we can begin."

"Mm."

Li Laoyezi nodded and tapped his cane lightly.

Then, his voice booming like a bell, he said: "Everyone! Tonight, thank you all for coming to attend the Li Family's banquet despite your busy schedules!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone immediately walked toward this side.

In the center of the banquet hall, a magnificent display platform had already been set up.

The old man took the three little ones and walked up.

Thunderous applause erupted in the Main Hall.

The media, having prepared long ago, immediately began snapping photos of the three little ones with a constant *click-click-click*.

"Ahem!"

Li Laoyezi cleared his throat and continued loudly: "I invited everyone here today because there are two important things to announce!"

"First, my grandson, Li Beijue, and my chosen granddaughter-in-law, the young mistress of the Li Family, Jiang Baobao, will be married next month! They have gone through many misunderstandings and can finally be together now; I am very gratified! At that time, everyone is welcome to attend the wedding!"

Applause rang out in the Main Hall once again.

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue stood off the stage and couldn't help but look at each other, the same smile in their eyes.

On stage, Li Laoyezi waited a moment before continuing: "The second thing concerns the children of the two of them."

As Li Laoyezi spoke, he pushed the three children forward.

Yanbao, Mobai, and Tiantian held hands, not the least bit stage-frightened, and smiled at the crowd below.

Li Laoyezi continued to say loudly: "These three children are all treasures of our Li Family! In the future, they will also be Beijue's successors! The future of the Li Corporation will be handed into their hands!"

"Congratulations to Li Laoyezi!"

Someone in the crowd took the lead in shouting, which set off another round of thunderous applause.

Liu Rumeng listened silently from the side, and seeing Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue's fingers tightly interlaced, she had long since gritted her teeth tightly.

Heh...

Very soon.

Jiang Baobao's good days end here!

The young mistress of the Li Family?

She shouldn't even think about it!

On the stage, after Li Laoyezi finished speaking about the two pieces of news and waited for everyone's discussion to end, he then smiled and said: "Today there were only these two things to say; I hope everyone has a good time tonight, no need to be too restrained!"

After Li Laoyezi finished speaking, he was about to turn and step off the stage immediately.

But unexpectedly, the next second—

"Wait a moment!!!"

A man's voice suddenly rang out from outside the crowd, carrying a trace of anxiety.

Liu Rumeng instantly curled her lips and turned her head to look in the direction of the banquet hall entrance.

The rest of the people also had their attention attracted, and they also turned around to look at the banquet hall entrance.

Immediately after, they saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign man running in, panting for breath!

"Who are you...?"

Someone close to him asked casually.

Then, just as the voice fell, they saw him suddenly raise his head, his eyes staring straight in the direction of Jiang Baobao!
