Ning Li was speechless.

'Mrs. Ji only invited me, didn't she? How did Lu Huaiyu somehow involve himself?'

Mrs. Ji's eyes hovered over Lu Huaiyu and Ning Li for a moment. Her smile deepened as she said, "Then, that's a promise!"

Ji Shu was beside them, feeling a bit confused as he listened.

His parents were aware that their son and Ning Li were close, so it would be normal for them to invite her to their house. How had it turned into Lu Huaiyu bringing Ning Li to visit them?

Ji Wenyuan liked Ning Li very much as well.

The relationship between the Ji family and the Ye family was not very close. After the Ye family had won the bid for the Qinghe Bridge project by a hair, Ji Wenyuan was now even less fond of them.

He had only agreed to attend their event this time purely out of courtesy.

Thus, the moment he had received an invitation from Lu Huaiyu, he had immediately changed his plans.

Although Ning Li now lived with the Ye family and was their nominal adopted daughter, everyone could see how they treated her.

Since Ning Li's last name was not Ye, everyone did not treat her as part of the Ye family.

It was not easy for a young girl from a poor background to grow up to be so outstanding.

Their son was simply no match for her.

No wonder Lu Huaiyu and Cheng Xiyue were so protective of her.

Her gentle, docile look really tugged at people's heartstrings.

Cheng Baiqing walked over with a smile on his face. "Ning Li, I heard that you will be participating in the national finals soon? There are only five representatives in the whole province, right?"

Ning Li nodded her head.

Cheng Baiqing gave her a thumbs up. "You're so much smarter than Xiangxiang."

Cheng Xiyue snickered. "Dad, with Cheng Xiangxiang's grades, it's already a miracle that she can handle the college entrance exams, let alone this competition. Why did you even mention her?"

His father glared at him. 'How could this boy talk about his cousin like that?'

Unfortunately, Cheng Baiqing knew that what his son had said was the truth, so there was no way he could refute it.

Besides, Cheng Xiyue was the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Cheng family, so he was indeed qualified to say this.

Cheng Xiyue was fearless.

His father loved his brother and had always been very lenient towards his niece. However, Cheng Xiyue was not.

Cheng Xiangxiang was spoiled, willful, and presumptuous. Even after being reprimanded several times, she was still unrepentant.

After a while, Cheng Xiyue did not bother to pay any attention to her.

Since her parents had taught her to be that way, there was no one else to blame.

They were all talking to each other in a small group, which puzzled the other guests a little.

"What's going on? The Ji and the Cheng families seem to be very fond of Ning Li."

"How else can they treat her? Lu Huaiyu's so protective of her. Wouldn't this be normal?"

"I don't think it's because of that... They just seem to be quite close to Ning Li..."
