I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

She knew that she couldn't hide behind this lie forever. One day, everything would be revealed.

Under Lin Ruoyun's warm gaze, Ye Qingning managed to squeeze out a smile, but her heart was in turmoil.

"Auntie, I...I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent work to deal with. I'll take my leave now." Ye Qingning stood up, her voice a little urgent.

She was almost looking for any excuse to escape from this embarrassing situation.

Lin Ruoyun was slightly surprised, but nodded gently, "Then go and do your work, Qing Ning. Work is important, and we can make another appointment at any time."

Ye Qingning hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Ruoyun, and then walked out of the restaurant quickly.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she took a deep breath of fresh air, as if this could calm her heart a little.

Her heart was full of complicated emotions: gratitude to Lin Ruoyun, guilt for her lies, uncertainty about the future... All these emotions were intertwined and made her feel extremely heavy.

After Ye Qingning left, Lin Ruoyun sat alone in the corner of the restaurant, with deep thoughts in his eyes.

Although she expressed her understanding of Ye Qingning's decision, deep down in her heart, she still had doubts about this sudden "romance".

Lin Ruoyun knew very well that she had already regarded Ye Qingning as her own child. In her opinion, Ye Qingning is the most suitable candidate to become the daughter-in-law of the Pei family.

Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, her cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting her contemplation.

Lin Ruoyun glanced at the caller ID, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

It was a call from Ye Qingning's mother. She knew that Ye Qingning's mother knew that she was back and came to talk to her specifically.

Lin Ruoyun quickly adjusted her mood and answered the phone.

"Ruoyun, I heard that you are back, are you free? We haven't seen each other for a long time to catch up on old times." The warm and kind voice of Ye Qingning's mother came from the other end of the phone, full of concern for Lin Ruoyun.

"Yes, I just came back not long ago. What a coincidence. I was just trying to find time to get together with you and catch up on old times." Lin Ruoyun's voice was full of sincerity.

The two had a very pleasant chat on the phone, as if time went back many years ago, when Ye Qingning and Pei Jingchuan were carefree children, and their families often gathered together to share the joy of life.

During the chat, both Lin Ruoyun and Ye Qingning's mother felt the deep friendship between them that had never changed.

"I just happened to meet Qing Ning today. She is getting more and more mature now, which is really gratifying." Lin Ruoyun changed the topic. Although she had reservations about Ye Qing Ning's choice, she didn't want to be with Ye Qing Ning. Show any negative emotions in front of your mother.

"Really? My girl is really worrying sometimes. Ruoyun, you have always been very close. If you have the chance, please pay more attention to her." Ye Qingning's mother said half-begging and half-trusting.

"Of course, Qing Ning is like my daughter in my heart. No matter what happens, I will support her and help her." Lin Ruoyun's voice was firm and warm, and she silently made up her mind, no matter what happened to Ye Qing Ning No matter what the future holds, she will do her best to provide help and support to Ye Qingning.

In this warm and cordial phone conversation, Ye Qingning's mother softly extended the invitation, her tone full of friendliness: "Ruoyun, are you free this weekend? I want to invite your family to my home. It's been a long time since we got together. Together."

When Lin Ruoyun heard this invitation, she felt warm in her heart. "This is really great. Of course we are happy to be guests." Lin Ruoyun's voice was full of joy, and she was full of expectations for this upcoming party, "I will tell my family and we will come together then. "The two then chatted for a while, and the detailed arrangements were gradually finalized. After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoyun was immersed in the joy of being reunited.

Lin Ruoyun then conveyed the invitation from Ye Qingning's mother to her family, and the family members unanimously agreed.

The Pei family has always had a deep friendship with the Ye Qingning family, and this gathering is undoubtedly a good opportunity to deepen their relationship.

After the pleasant phone conversation between Lin Ruoyun and Ye Qingning's mother, Pei Jingchuan learned about the family gathering this weekend.

Pei Jingchuan picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Yuzhu's number.

After the call was connected, Pei Jingchuan's voice came through the microphone, "Yuzhu, there is a party at our house this weekend. I hope you can come too."

Jiang Yuzhu, who was on the other end of the phone, was in a picturesque town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was on a business trip and was busy working on an important project here.

When she heard Pei Jingchuan's invitation, she couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in her heart.

"Jingchuan, it sounds very good." Jiang Yuzhu's voice was gentle, with a bit of regret, "But I may have to stay in Jiangnan for a while. This project is more complicated than expected. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the party. "

Pei Jingchuan couldn't hide his disappointment in his voice, "Yuzhu, I really hope you can come."

Jiang Yuzhu could feel the disappointment in Pei Jingchuan's words, and she also had mixed feelings in her heart.

She naturally understands the importance of work, but she cannot completely ignore Pei Jingchuan's expectations.

"Jingchuan, I want to go too, really. But this project is also very important to me. Can you understand me?" Her voice was soft, trying to find a hint of comfort in her regret.

Pei Jingchuan was silent for a moment. He knew well that Jiang Yuzhu's sense of responsibility in his work was something he respected.

"I understand, Yu Zhu. I'm just...a little disappointed." His voice was low, with a trace of reluctance in his mood.

Jiang Yuzhu heard the emotional changes in Pei Jingchuan's words, and her heart tightened.

She thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Jingchuan, I will try my best to adjust my work schedule to see if it is possible to complete the task in advance. If possible, I will come back as soon as possible."

When Pei Jingchuan heard this, the displeasure in his heart gradually dissipated, and he was moved by Jiang Yuzhu's gentleness and hard work.

"Yuzhu, that's great. But don't be too pushy. Work is important, and I don't want you to affect your work because of me."

"When you say that, I feel relieved. But I will still try my best, Jingchuan. Our mutual understanding and support are the most important." Jiang Yuzhu's voice was full of determination.

The conversation between the two gradually ended with such mutual understanding and commitment. Although distance and work prevented them from being together for the time being, this call made the two hearts more closely connected.
