Jiang Wanyan divorced her ex-husband, who retaliated by cutting off her mother's medical expenses. He waited for her to come back and beg him, but she just smiled. The next day, news spread onl...
Jiang Wanyan opened the thick stack of papers, which contained the information of people who had achieved certain achievements in music in recent years.
After getting married, Jiang Wanyan almost completely gave up communicating with the outside world and unknowingly became a frog in a well. Now that she plans to start a new career, she naturally needs to understand the current music trends.
Seeing that she was watching intently, Yin You gently touched the back of her hand with his cup and suggested, "I know a few musicians. Can I introduce you to them?"
She was asking Jiang Wanyan to use her connections, but Jiang Wanyan shook her head and refused without a second thought, "No need."
Yin You didn't understand and asked, "Why not? Others are looking for shortcuts, but you refuse even the things that are right in front of you."
Jiang Wanyan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe our pursuits are different. They want to become famous, and I want to learn."
"Okay, as long as you are happy." Yin You sighed and did not persuade her. Anyway, with her around, few people could bully Jiang Wanyan.
After flipping through a few pages, Jiang Wanyan put the information away, stood up and said, "Thank you, I'll be leaving first."
Yin You held her back: "Hey, what are you in such a hurry to do?"
Jiang Wanyan patted the information in her hand and said, "Let's see if I can meet the person listed here."
"It's easy for you to meet someone," Yin You said, as Jiang Wanyan was about to refuse. He pushed her to sit down and said, "Don't worry. I'm not trying to help you through the backdoor. There's a banquet tonight. Besides business tycoons, we'll also be inviting some people from the entertainment industry. There's someone you want to meet."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanyan was in no hurry to leave. Yin You then said, "If you want to go, I'll bring you an invitation, but—"
She glanced at Jiang Wanyan and tugged at her clothes, "—You can't wear this. It's a party after all."
Jiang Wanyan jokingly said, "I understand. I won't embarrass Miss Yin."
Yin You rolled his eyes and said, "Am I afraid that you will embarrass me?"
The two chatted for two hours. Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Wanyan left to buy a dress and then returned to the Xi family.
The banquet didn’t start so early, so Jiang Wanyan planned to help cook and go later.
Xi Fei was not willing to let Jiang Wanyan help, so she asked Xi Nuannuan to accompany Jiang Wanyan while she went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Xi Nuannuan was unhappy when she saw Jiang Wanyan. She lowered her head to play with her phone and ignored her.
Jiang Wanyan didn't get angry and helped clean up the living room.
"No one is watching, yet you're still pretending." Xi Nuannuan said sarcastically.
The sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance. Xi Chenzhu walked into the room and saw his virtuous wife and his unruly sister.
"No, brother, it's not what you think." Xi Nuannuan saw what Chen Zhu was thinking at a glance, "I didn't ask her to do it."
Jiang Wanyan also explained: "I was bored and wanted to find something to do."
Xi Nuannuan on the side nodded quickly. Xi Chenzhu frowned and took the broom from Jiang Wanyan's hand and put it into Xi Nuannuan's hand, "Go sweep the floor."
Xi Nuannuan: “…”
Jiang Wanyan was at a loss as to what to do. This time she was really going to offend Xi Nuannuan.
Xi Chenzhu turned around and said to Jiang Wanyan, "Come with me."
Jiang Wanyan followed him to the door and turned around to meet Xi Nuannuan's resentful eyes. She paused, went into the study, and closed the door behind her to avoid being murdered by Xi Nuannuan's eyes.
"Is it boring here?" Xi Chenzhu asked.
Jiang Wanyan thought about moving out and nodded hesitantly.
But Xi Chenzhu said, "There's a dinner party tonight. I'll take you there to have some fun."
"Tonight?" Jiang Wanyan shook her head. "I have a meeting with friends tonight."
"Really?" Xi Chenzhu said in a calm voice.
Jiang Wanyan nodded apologetically: "Yes, I went out with her today, she invited me."
Xi Chenzhu didn't ask any more questions, just said, "I understand."
Seeing that Xi Chenzhu wasn't angry, but somewhat unhappy, Jiang Wanyan said anxiously, "Is your dinner party important? Do you need me to go?"
If it is really important, Jiang Wanyan is willing to cancel the agreement with Yin You. Xi Chenzhu is her savior, and Yin You will understand.
"No, I can go alone."
Having said that, Jiang Wanyan didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Yin You called when she was halfway through clearing the dishes. She was still holding the bowl, her hands were dirty, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Xi Chenzhu answered the phone for her, holding the phone to her ear.
Jiang Wanyan smiled at him gratefully and asked Yin You, "What's wrong?"
"Are you ready? I'll pick you up now."
Jiang Wanyan glanced at the time and said, "Okay, come over now."
Xi Chenzhu hung up the phone. Without waiting for Jiang Wanyan to speak, he took the bowl from her hand and said, "Go ahead. I'll take care of the rest."
"Thanks."
Jiang Wanyan washed her hands, changed into a white off-shoulder dress, put on some light makeup, and when she opened the door and left the room, Xi Nuannuan widened her eyes. She obviously didn't expect Jiang Wanyan to look so stunning after a little dressing up.
After telling Xi Chenzhu that there was no need to wait for her to come back, Xi Fei hurried out and handed her a shawl. "Take this with you. It's been raining these past two days and it's a bit chilly at night."
Jiang Wanyan was stunned, but Xi Fei thought she didn't like it, so she said embarrassedly: "I'm old, and my aesthetic taste is not as good as yours, so you just have to make do with it."
"No, it looks very nice." Jiang Wanyan felt warm in her heart. Xi Fei was concerned about her. "I like it very much. Thank you, Mom."
Xi Fei happily agreed and watched Jiang Wanyan disappear at the end of the corridor before closing the door.
Jiang Wanyan was wearing that old shawl. When she got in the car, Yin You asked suspiciously, "Don't you have money to buy a new one?"
Jiang Wanyan smiled helplessly and explained, "This is not mine."
Seeing her happy face, Yin You probably guessed who this somewhat rustic shawl belonged to. She reminded him, "Let's go."
When they arrived at the door, Yin You threw the keys to the parking attendant, took Jiang Wanyan's hand and was about to walk in.
Jiang Wanyan recalled the incident that was trending yesterday, pulled her hand away, and said to Yin Youwo, "You go in first, I'll come in later."
Yin You knew exactly what she was thinking, so he said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? Would I be afraid of them?"
Jiang Wanyan smiled and said, "I know you're not afraid, but you should still go in first."
Facing Jiang Wanyan, Yin You found that she really had no temper. He glared at her, gave her the invitation, and went into the hotel first.
Jiang Wanyan waited for a while before raising her foot. Apart from the trending search, she also didn't want others to take care of her for Yin You's sake. She wanted to see how far she could go on her own.
After receiving the invitation, Jiang Wanyan entered the hotel.
The magnificent hall, with a crystal chandelier hanging in the middle, was shining brightly. There were already quite a few people inside, talking in low voices and clinking glasses from time to time.
After Jiang Wanyan entered, she found a seat and sat down. Before she looked carefully at the people around her, she saw many people staring at her with contempt in their eyes.
A man walked up to Jiang Wanyan with two glasses of wine, looked her down, and said arrogantly, "Have a drink, please."
