As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, a surprised voice came from behind Jiang Tian: "...Ms. Jiang Xiuyu?"

Hearing someone call her name, Jiang Xiuyu turned around, recognized the person, and gave them a gentle smile: "Editor Liu, you're here too? Did you organize this gathering today?"

The woman, addressed as Editor Liu, was quite excited and quickly extended her hand: "What a coincidence, Ms. Jiang! I didn't expect to actually run into you. I didn't even recognize you just now. I must thank you so much. The interview you did for our magazine last time was very well received. Readers said they saw role models in successful women like you, and they said they must strive to improve themselves and love life to the fullest."

"Don't say that," Jiang Xiuyu said modestly, waving her hand. "I'm just standing on the shoulders of my family. Without the support of my family's resources, I wouldn't be where I am today. Participating in this interview was just a side thing. Don't flatter me."

"You're too modest," Editor Liu said hastily, his gaze falling on Jiang Tian. "Is she your daughter-in-law?"

“Yes, she’s my daughter-in-law.” Jiang Xiuyu put her arm around Jiang Tian’s hand, her tone filled with pride. “She’s always been low-key and doesn’t like to show her face in public. It’s a good thing that she’s willing to come out and socialize now. Young people should socialize more and broaden their horizons. Jiang Tian, ​​you should learn from this editor Liu. She’s a very capable and outstanding person.”

“Mom, I know her,” Jiang Tian said to Jiang Xiuyu.

Jiang Xiuyu looked at Editor Liu, and after a long while, she said as if suddenly realizing something, "So you two know each other?"

Jiang Tian nodded: "We were classmates in college."

Editor Liu smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, Ms. Jiang, Jiang Tian and I were classmates in college. As you know, it's not easy to make a living in this society. In order to earn a living, I changed careers after graduation."

“That’s good. No matter what industry you’re in, as long as you can create value, that’s fine.” Jiang Xiuyu continued, patting Jiang Tian’s hand affectionately. “My daughter-in-law likes quiet and stays at home, which I think is good too. She also provides value to the family. Now she’s willing to gradually connect with the outside world, and her father and I support that. A woman needs to be able to take care of her family, but she also needs to have her own space—right, Xiao Liu?”

Editor Liu quickly chimed in, "You're absolutely right. Women like you are role models for the new era. Every word you say carries great weight. I'd love to invite you for another interview sometime."

"No need, one interview is enough. I don't know where to begin if you ask me to say anything more. Why don't you talk to Jiang Tian? You were classmates, and since marrying my son, Jiang Tian has been active in high society. She has a great sense of fashion and might inspire you."

During the pleasantries, Jiang Xiuyu skillfully steered the conversation toward her daughter-in-law. Her words not only demonstrated her approval of Jiang Tian but also subtly conveyed the wealthy family's expectations for their "young mistress."

Jiang Tian listened with her eyes lowered.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep Ms. Jiang Tian's feature in mind and give her a chance to be featured. When I first took over the column, you were the only one who accepted our invitation and helped me through the crucial period of my promotion. How could I forget that kindness?" Editor Liu said with a smile, glancing at Jiang Tian. "Besides, Jiang Tian is my classmate. I always thought she was steady and reliable back in school, and now I'm sure I was right—so you can rest assured, I won't treat my old classmate unfairly."

Jiang Xiuyu nodded in satisfaction.

"Are you done talking?"

Su Hanze's father, who was waiting on the side, was clearly very impatient, urging impatiently, "If we don't leave now, the banquet will start soon. We can't be late."

Jiang Xiuyu pretended not to hear her husband's words. She gave Editor Liu a few more instructions before she decided to leave with her husband.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiuyu waved to her son: "Hanze, take your wife back to the old house for dinner tonight. If you're busy, then forget it."

Su Hanze pondered for a few seconds, nodded silently, and remained standing a few steps away.

Seeing her son's posture, Jiang Xiuyu's expression became somewhat complicated, but she said nothing. She simply put on a smile again and left with her husband.

My in-laws are gone, but the storm they brought continues.

During this conversation, the students in the class waited patiently and quietly, without anyone leaving.

When the news of Jiang Tian's true identity reached the ears of those around her, everyone fell silent.

Who would have thought that the once unremarkable Jiang Tian would actually become a wealthy wife and be highly regarded by her parents-in-law?

In their preconceived notions, even if a Cinderella marries into a wealthy family, she will inevitably be looked down upon or made things difficult. But Jiang Tian is an exception. Jiang Xiuyu's intimacy and protection of her clearly establishes her status as the "young mistress of the Su family".

She's so lucky!

The scenario that only appears in Mary Sue novels actually happened to Jiang Tian.

Compared to Jiang Tian, ​​who was envied and resented by others, Zhao Mingyao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles in the crowd.

She clearly saw the slightly scrutinizing smile on Jiang Xiuyu's face when her gaze swept over her just now—the other party had obviously recognized her, but deliberately did not speak.

Remembering her past conflicts with her mother-in-law, Zhao Mingyao gripped her wine glass tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms.

Jiang Xiuyu's contempt was what she found most unbearable.

She had always disliked these hypocritical social occasions, and couldn't stand the "sense of superiority" in Jiang Xiuyu's eyes.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to the class reunion to seek emotional value.

But why? Seeing Jiang Xiuyu's attitude towards her daughter-in-law, Zhao Mingyao was incredibly jealous.

She did not do very well, but how much better is Jiang Tian?

She was just lucky; Su Hanze couldn't marry her, so he settled for Jiang Tian instead... The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she could only bite her lip tightly and say nothing.

No one noticed her unusual behavior at that moment.

As soon as Jiang Xiuyu left, Editor Liu was surrounded by people who all wanted him to introduce Jiang Xiuyu.

The couple left a deep impression.

Editor Liu didn't hold back; she quickly revealed the noble family backgrounds of the Jiang and Su families.

Everyone gasped as they listened.

They all looked at Jiang Tian without prior arrangement.

So, she really did marry into the Su family.

Seeing Su Hanze's incredibly handsome face, and recalling Jiang Tian's mother-in-law's open-minded and kind demeanor, many people broke down in their defenses.

Why is Jiang Tian so lucky?

She's so lucky.

Then someone discovered a logical flaw.

The person who discovered it was Editor Liu.

Editor Liu glanced at Zhao Mingyao in the distance and asked with some doubt, "Mingyao, do you really not know Jiang Tian? As far as I know, your mother-in-law and Jiang Tian's mother-in-law have a very good relationship. You must have met before, right?"

It's unreasonable not to know them, but if they do know each other, why not say hello? This is a difficult question posed to Zhao Mingyao.

Zhao Mingyao's face stiffened. Just as she was about to answer, Shen Dingkun, who had learned of the news, rushed over.

The first thing he did upon arriving here was to question Su Hanze: "You just let Mingyao suffer here while you remained silent?"
