Lu Qinshangâs curiosity was piqued by her. âTell me.â
âSuisui will be coming today too. Please invite her to dance later.â
Lu Qinshangâs face was filled with question marks. âWhat kind of help is this?
Wait⦠Donât tell me you want me to sell my beauty and woo your friend?â
âNo, no, I never f*ck fans!â
The corners of Lin Qingqianâs eyebrows twitched slightly. What was this fellow thinking?
âI only asked you to invite Suisui to dance, I didnât ask you to chase after her!â Lin Qingqian glanced at him. âIf you dare to touch Suisui, try!â
There was a hint of killing intent in her clear eyes!
Lu Qinshang pouted helplessly. âYou asked me to invite her to dance, but you didnât let me touch her. What do you want from me? Great Aunt!â
Lin Qingqian: âJust invite her to dance. Donât chase after her and take advantage of her! Iâve already informed Suisui. She wonât misunderstand!â
Lu Qinshang frowned and thought for a moment. âAlright, Iâll take it that Iâm doing a fan service today.â
It was mainly because if he didnât agree, she would go and give Ah Yan pillow talk.
In the past, they had always sacrificed themselves for their brothers. Now⦠hehe, they were all sacrificing themselves for their women!
Lin Qingqian and Lu Qinshang returned to Jiang Yanshenâs side. Jiang Yanshen only glanced at her and didnât ask what they talked about.
After a while, Suisui escorted Qi Min into the banquet hall.
Lin Qingqian hurriedly went forward to welcome her. âMaster.â She glanced at Suisui again.
Suisui gestured an OK sign. âThe first mission you gave me was successfully completed.â
Lin Qingqian nodded. âSuisui, Lu Qinshang is over there. Go and say hello to him.â
When she heard the words Lu Qinshang, Suisuiâs eyes instantly lit up, as if she had installed a tracking device on Lu Qinshang. She only had to glance at the crowd to immediately see him.
Her heart quickly became steady and reserved, but she couldnât help but quicken her pace towards her idol.
Qi Min lived in the depths of the city and rarely appeared in public. If not for Old Madam Jiang, she would not have come today.
âMaster, Grandma has just arrived at the hotel and is resting in the lounge.
Sheâll be here in a while.â
Qi Min nodded. Her gaze landed on the man walking over and her eyes immediately scrutinized him.
Jiang Yanshen walked in front of the old woman and called out respectfully,
âMaster.â
âHmph.â Qi Min snorted coldly. She controlled her attitude and didnât give him a good reaction.
âMaster.â Lin Qingqian called out softly, with the intention of pleading for Jiang Yanshen.
Qi Min glanced at her from the corner of her eye and spat. âLass, youâve forgotten your scars the instant it stopped hurting.â
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and remained silent. She secretly glanced at Jiang Yanshen. Youâre on your own.
Jiang Yanshenâs black eyes were filled with a faint smile. He looked at Qi Min and still had a respectful attitude. âMaster, I heard Qianqian mention you all the time previously and didnât have the time to visit. Please forgive me.â
Qi Min laughed ambiguously. âHow would I dare to trouble Director Jiang, whoâs busy every day, to come and visit an old woman like me?â
Jiang Yanshen couldnât say anything from her retort and could only accept it. After all, she had a high status and was Qianqianâs master.
âYo! Where did this old woman come from to behave atrociously here?â
Just as the atmosphere was subtle and awkward, a loud voice sounded at the door.
Everyone looked over and saw Old Madam Jiang. Her pale hair was tied up in a messy bun. She was wearing a dark purple cheongsam and high heels. She was supported by Madam Liu as she walked in.
Her ears, wrists, and fingers were all covered in jade jewelry. She looked noble and energetic.
Old Madam Jiang glanced at Qi Min and didnât flatter her like the others. âYou still have the temperament of a rich young lady after so many years.â
When Qi Min heard this, she counterattacked unhurriedly. âYouâve become more and more like Old Madam Jiang after so many years.â âPfft.â Old Madam Jiang spat at her. âDonât mock me.â
Qi Min smiled. âArenât you mocking me too?â
Old Madam Jiang said proudly, âWho asked you to embarrass our Ah Yan in public?â
âWho asked him to bully my girl back then?â Qi Min was not to be outdone. âIf not for him, this girl would have inherited my mantle by now.â
âWhatâs there to inherit with those tattered clothes of yours?â Old Madam Jiang retorted stubbornly.
Qi Min looked at her disdainfully. âThen why are you still wearing my tattered clothes? Take it off.â
Old Madam Jiang couldnât win against her and started to act shamelessly. âI wonât take it off.â
The two old ladies, whose age were almost 200 years old in total, bickered like children when they met, leaving the others dumbfounded.
The guests arrived one after another, including Lu Dongcheng and Luo Tianxue, who were late.
As soon as Luo Tianxue entered, she tossed Lu Dongcheng away and ran towards Lin Qingqian. She pulled her away from Jiang Yanshen and said bitterly, âQianqian, how can you get back together with such a man? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the past?â
Lin Qingqian:
Lu Dongcheng pulled Luo Tianxue back to his side with a troubled expression and revealed an apologetic smile. âHer upbringing was not strict. Sorry for this embarrassing scene.â
Luo Tianxue glanced at him in disdain and looked at Jiang Yanshen as if he was her love rival.
Lin Qingqian couldnât help but laugh. If she didnât know that she liked Jiang Yanshen in the past, she would really suspect her sexual orientation.
The birthday banquet officially began. With the help of Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun, the old lady walked up to the microphone and said some pleasantries. At the same time, she explained that Madam Jiang was not feeling well, so she wonât be coming out.
Everyone knew very well that Old Madam Jiang was deliberately not letting Madam Jiang attend the birthday banquet. After all, something big had happened a few days ago.
Old Madam Jiang announced in public that Jiang Chongjing would be transferred back from Africa to become the general manager of the Lan City branch.
Everyone revealed surprised and probing gazes that lingered between Jiang Chongjing and Jiang Yanshen.
Everyone knew that Jiang Chongjing had lost in the family assets competition back then. He had been exiled by the Jiang Family for so many years. Now that he had returned to Lan City, the Jiang Family would probably not be peaceful anymore!
Everyone looked at Jiang Yanshen with pity and gloating, waiting to watch a good show.
Jiang Yanshenâs expression was calm, and his exquisite facial features looked even more charming under the crystal light. His slender and tall body stood still like a pine tree, as if he didnât see those teasing and malicious eyes.
Lin Qingqian stood beside him, her slender fingers slowly tightening.
No matter what happened in the future, she would face it with him.
Jiang Yanshen seemed to sense her thoughts. He lowered his head and looked into her eyes, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.
After Old Madam Jiang finished speaking, it was time for the dance. Although Old Madam Jiang was old, she was not old-fashioned. She had also learned how to dance when she was young.
Jiang Yanshen invited the old lady to the floor for the first dance before the others led their female companions to join them.
Jiang Yanshen returned to Lin Qingqian and bent down slightly to extend his palm in front of her. âBeautiful lady, can I invite you to dance?â
Lin Qingqianâs clear eyes moved from his handsome facial features to his palm, and her lips curved. âOf course.â
She placed her fair fingers on his palm and followed him gently onto the dance floor. When she turned around, she specially gave Lu Qinshang a look.
After Lu Qinshang received it, he very gentlemanly invited Suisui to dance.
Although she knew that Qianqian had specially arranged it, Suisuiâs face suddenly turned red at her idolâs invitation. She handed her hand to him shyly.
Lu Qinshang held her hand and walked into the crowd. He swayed slowly and said in a low and mellow voice by her ear, âDonât be nervous. Just follow my rhythm. â
Suisui nodded shyly. At the thought of her hand on his waist, she could feel the sturdiness of his waist through his clothes. There were no excess fats.
Ao ao ao!!!
No, she couldnât think about it. If she thought about it again, her nose would bleed again. She couldnât lose face in front of her idol again!
Under the resplendent crystal lights, the group danced. The melodious music was filled with young men and women dancing elegantly, especially pleasing to the eye.
Old Madam Jiang and Qi Min smiled in relief. âLook at how compatible these two children are.â
Qi Min saw that they were a good match, but she remembered that Jiang Yanshen had treated Lin Qingqian badly previously. âIf that brat dares to bully my girl again, donât say that I wonât give you face.â
Old Madam Jiang smiled. âIf he bullies Qianqian again, Iâll be the first to break his legs. â
With her words, Qi Min finally felt at ease.
Luo Tianxue glanced at the man holding a wine glass beside her and scoffed in disappointment. âQianqian is so good. I asked you to chase after her but you wonât. Now, sheâs being hooked by Jiang Yanshen again.â
Lu Dongcheng glanced at her from the corner of his eye. âDonât you like Jiang
Yanshen?â
âI donât like him anymore, alright?â Luo Tianxue raised her chin proudly. âWhy should I like a man who rejected me?â
At that time, she had actually been deceived by Jiang Yanshenâs face. If she had known that he was such a dog, she would not even have confessed!! Lu Dongcheng shook his head helplessly and took a sip of red wine.
Luo Tianxue turned to look at him. âIâm so bored.â
When Lu Dongcheng heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand. âIâll dance with you, alright?â
Only then did Luo Tianxue smile. âThatâs more like it.â
Gu Xici didnât have a female companion, and there were a few young ladies at the event location who kept expressing their good intentions to him. Unfortunatelyâ¦
They were not his type.
He couldnât help but think about that beautiful and elegant face. With just two short interactions, they didnât have the chance to exchange contact information. He couldnât chase after her even if he wanted to.
Such a noble and knowledgeable woman probably didnât like rough men like him who worked in the wind and rain. For the umpteenth time, the thought of chasing after her was extinguished in the cradle.
As Lin Qingqian danced with Jiang Yanshen, she glanced at the guests not far away from the corner of her eye. As expected, she caught a pair of resentful eyes, and the smile on her lips couldnât help but deepen.
Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against her. âWhat bad deed are you planning?â
Lin Qingqianâs bright eyes widened, her clear eyes filled with innocence. âIâm a timid person and have always followed the rules. How could I do something bad?â
A person who used to follow her grandfather all over the mountains and wilderness said that she was timid and followed the rules. Jiang Yanshen would be a fool if he believed her.
âWhy didnât I realize that you were so evil in the past?â His thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was filled with doting.
In the past, she had always been obedient in front of him. Now that he thought about it, it was probably an act to seduce him.
The corners of Lin Qingqianâs mouth curled up uncontrollably. âIâm not talking to you anymore. Iâm going to the washroom.â
As soon as she finished speaking, she let go of his hand and turned around without any reluctance.
Jiang Yanshen stood rooted to the ground, his hands in his pockets, his dark eyes glued to her figureâ
It was obvious that she had run away guiltily after her mask was exposed.
When Lin Qingqian passed by the woman in the pink gown, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.. Her red lips curled up slightly, and her low voice was only audible to the two of themâ
