Chapter 939: Act according to plan?
Sima Lan, who was standing aside, had a clear view of Ximen Yinshuang's thoughts.
She sighed helplessly. Since Su Yi had clearly rejected Ximen Yinshuang, she could only find another way.
However, she would not give up Su Yi, who possessed a pure yang body.
We have to find a way to capture Su Yi quietly and let him practice dual cultivation with Shuang'er, which will greatly improve Shuang'er's cultivation.
Sima Lan turned to look at Liao Yuanbo and said slowly, "Mr. Liao, my husband and I need to think about this matter carefully again."
"After all, this is a major event that concerns Shuang'er's lifelong happiness." Her words revealed a sense of caution and seriousness.
Liao Yuanbo nodded quickly and said, "Mrs. Ximen is right. This matter is indeed of great importance and naturally requires careful consideration."
"After all, this is a matter that concerns your daughter's lifelong happiness, and there is absolutely no room for carelessness. In this case, I will wait for your reply at the Liao family."
Liao Yuanbo's attitude seemed extremely sincere, and he seemed to be very concerned about Ximen Yinshuang's lifelong affairs.
He secretly looked at Ximen Yinshuang, and a barely perceptible greed and desire flashed in his eyes.
None of this escaped Su Yi's eyes.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.
On the surface, Liao Yuanbo likes Ximen Yinshuang very much, but in fact he is just a hypocritical man.
Ximen Lie pretended to be calm, smiled and called out to everyone: "Come on, everyone, keep drinking! Today is a happy day, don't let this little thing affect our mood!"
His voice seemed a little abrupt in the noisy banquet hall.
That smile seemed particularly strange and forced against the backdrop of his livid face.
Although Ximen Lie tried his best to conceal it, the anger in his heart was erupting like a volcano.
He was extremely angry at Su Yi's rejection and humiliation, and he wished he could tear Su Yi into pieces immediately to vent his hatred.
But he also knew that he must not lose his temper easily in front of so many guests.
Otherwise, not only will you lose face, but you may also cause unnecessary trouble.
As a result, the atmosphere of the banquet became increasingly weird.
The laughter of the crowd echoed in the air, but there was a hint of unspeakable awkwardness and weirdness.
Everyone seemed to feel Ximen Lie's inner anger, but they all chose to remain silent. They just raised their glasses and drank mechanically, trying not to touch that sensitive nerve.
They were whispering to each other in private. What was supposed to be a great birthday party turned into a farce!
Bai Luoying sat in her seat, originally feeling extremely happy because Su Yi explicitly refused to marry Ximen Yinshuang.
But in the next moment, her mood took a sharp turn for the worse like a roller coaster - Su Yi actually said that the person he liked was Ji Lier!
This sudden news was like being struck by lightning, and her face was full of disbelief.
How could this be?
She always thought that Su Yi's feelings for Ji Lier were just a casual affair, and that it was just a relationship between a senior and a junior.
I never expected that he would actually fall in love with the bitch Ji Lier!
Bai Luoying's heart was suddenly consumed by an intense fire of jealousy.
She gnashed her teeth and cursed inwardly: "Ji Lier, you shameless bitch! You are almost dead, and the young master still likes you!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her fingers tapped unconsciously on the table in annoyance.
She made rapid and chaotic sounds, as if this could vent her inner anger.
Her eyes drifted towards Old Madam Ximen from time to time, and she cursed in her heart.
What on earth is this old lady Ximen hesitating about?
Su Chenyin is still alive and well!
It has come to this point and the birthday party is almost over. What is she still waiting for?
Bai Luoying felt like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to see Su Chenyin disappear from this world.
However, Madam Ximen still sat in the main seat as steady as a rock, and seemed to have no intention of taking action at all.
Bai Luoying stared at her closely.
Her eyes were filled with anxiety and unwillingness, as if she was frantically urging Madam Ximen to act quickly, otherwise there would be no more chances!
At this moment, Madam Ximen suddenly felt a sharp gaze falling on her.
Her heart tightened. She knew without thinking that the owner of this gaze was Bai Luoying.
She raised her eyes, glanced at Bai Luoying, and nodded slightly, signaling her to be patient.
Bai Luoying received her gaze and was delighted, knowing that the plan was finally about to begin.
She felt slightly relieved and picked up the wine glass to hide the sneer on her lips.
She caught a glimpse of Su Chenyin talking in a low voice with Jun Yijue. The handsome man had a smile on his face and was looking intently at the girl beside him.
This scene made Bai Luoying feel a sharp pain in her chest again.
"I'll let you be proud for a moment." She tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass. The spicy liquid slid down her throat, but it couldn't extinguish the jealousy in her heart.
Old Madam Ximen raised her jade hand, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip.
The tea goes down your throat, bringing with it a faint fragrance.
After putting down the teacup, Madam Ximen waved for a maid.
The maid, dressed in a simple blue dress, walked quickly and respectfully to Madam Ximen.
The maid walked to the side of Old Madam Ximen, leaned forward slightly, lowered her head, folded her hands in front of her, and looked trembling with fear.
Madam Ximen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Go, follow the plan I just told you, and don't make any mistakes."
"Remember, this is a serious matter. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences."
Her voice was low and hoarse, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.
When the maid heard this, her heart tightened and a hint of nervousness and fear flashed in her eyes.
She swallowed and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely get it done."
After saying this, the maid bowed to Old Madam Ximen again, then turned around and walked away quickly, disappearing out the door.
Soon, the maid reappeared in the hall holding a gilded wine jug.
The maid walked towards Su Chenyin with a light yet deliberately calm posture.
She first came to Ji Xingqing with a proper smile on her face: "Master Ji, I will add more wine for you."
As he spoke, he turned his wrist slightly, and the clear wine slowly flowed into Ji Xingqing's glass.
Ji Xingqing nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on her for a moment, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
Then, the maid came to Su Yi and poured wine for her.
Su Yi raised his eyes and swept across the maid with a gaze as fast as lightning, as if that look could penetrate her soul.
The maid's heart tightened and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Yi. Her heartbeat became more and more rapid, and her hands paused slightly.
But she quickly recovered and managed to stay calm with her strong willpower.
"Mr. Su, please." Her voice trembled slightly, but she concealed it skillfully.
