For the past few days, Ye Xiaoxi kept seeing Elizabeth approach Yuan Xudong.

Yuan Xudong always wore a cold expression and ignored her.

Ye Xiaoxin explained the situation to Jiang Yining.

She then said, “She kept causing trouble for me, and now she’s facing rejection. I find it quite satisfying.”

Jiang Yining smiled and said, “If your uncle accepts her, it will be beneficial for his future development. Why wouldn’t he accept her?”

“I wonder too. However, he didn’t seem to like women. Every time I touch him, he doesn’t seem to like it. Yining, 1 suspect that he has a unique sexual orientation.”

Ye Xiaoxi truly believed that Yuan Xudong was gay because all his assistants were male.

Other than the two old maids, the servants in the courtyard were all men. Wasn’t this strange?

Jiang Yining was speechless.

She didn’t expect the dignified Yuan Xudong to like men.

However, it was better for outsiders not to interfere in personal matters.

Ye Xiaoxi chatted with Jiang Yining for a while and felt much better. She then said, “By the way, Yining, my grandfather has arranged a trip to Maldives for me next week. Are you free to go with me?”

Jiang Yining said with a smile, “I’m free. I can go anytime.”

“Hehe, you’re the best. Then, I’ll send you the itinerary.”

Ye Xiaoxi said happily.

“Okay.”

Finally done with the conversation, Ye Xiaoxi hung up the phone in satisfaction.

Just as she was about to wash up, she noticed a tall figure standing at the door, looking at her with deep eyes.

Ye Xiaoxi was speechless.

After Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi finished their conversation, she tossed her phone aside and went back to sleep.

However, she couldn’t fall asleep.

At this moment, a message notification chimed.

Jiang Yining glanced at it casually and immediately sat up.

The message was from K, regarding the rare element ‘Curium’ that she had asked him to investigate earlier.

Currently, there are only three companies globally researching the ‘Curium’ element.

One was located overseas, and the other was in the capital city.

The last one was in A-City.

K hadn’t yet found information about the mastermind of the two companies overseas and the capital city.

As for the family that researched ‘Curium’ in A-City, Jiang Yining was familiar with them. It was the Tao family. According to what he knew, Old Master Tao spent 500 billion on the research and development of ‘Curium’. However, synthesizing this element was challenging, and even producing a few milliliters came at a significant cost. Therefore, the Tao family’s project remained in the development stage and hadn’t been implemented in reality.

Therefore, not many people paid attention to it.

After Jiang Yining finished reading the message, her delicate fingers tapped on the screen a few times. After contemplation, she paid K for his services and asked him to continue investigating the other two companies.

As for the Tao family, she would follow up on the subsequent information.

K replied, “Okay.”

The disappearance of Lu Beicheng and Lin Yan was related to the ‘Curium’ element, and currently, there are very few people researching in this area.

Jiang Yining was certain.

Their disappearances were connected to these three companies.

The details of the other two companies were unclear, so it was hard to say for the time being.

But the Tao family…

Jiang Yining wanted to test if they were involved in this matter.

She had already thought of the bait to test them.

It was the rare element ‘Curium.’

Jiang Yining turned on her computer, logged into the dark web, and spread the news that she had discovered a rich resource of Curium ore. Anyone interested could contact her.

There were no restrictions on buyers. The highest bidder would get it.

Once the news was released, she waited for the fish to take the bait.

Night fell.

The entire Lu family was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was extremely lively.

Not long ago, Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining had just held their wedding. Now, it was the 5ist-anniversary celebration of Old Master and Old Madam’s wedding. The house was filled with joy.

Second Aunt Lu even specially bought red birthday outfits for Old Master and Old Madam.

When the two elderly put them on, they looked particularly elegant.

Old Madam Lu looked at the harmonious atmosphere of the whole family and the anger in her heart dissipated by half.

Old Master Lu sat next to her and whispered, “Look at how harmonious the family is if you don’t make a fuss. We’re both old. Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy our later years peacefully?”

Old Madam Lu remained silent.

Old Master Lu said earnestly, “Previously, when you wanted Kexin to marry Ah Zhi, I could still turn a blind eye. But now, after what happened, that’s impossible for her.”

“Honey, just let go of her and accept Yining. When she comes back from studying abroad, we’ll find her a good in-law.”

Old Madam Lu’s eyes reddened as she nodded..
