Chapter 22 Your plan is great, it's mine now!
This family reunion banquet was quite luxurious.
In the magnificent banquet hall, various famous figures gathered together and greeted each other. As the toasts flowed, the media that were invited in to record the event flashed their cameras continuously, capturing every scene.
Before the live broadcast started, the reporter with a work ID hanging around his neck and wearing a cheap dress felt a little out of place at the party. He took a cocktail and stood aside to get some fresh air, but happened to meet a girl in a purple off-shoulder long dress.
Her skirt was dotted with royal blue diamonds and had a silver ribbon-like waist chain running through it, like countless stars in the night sky connected by a Milky Way.
The reporter saw that she had long curly hair, a beautiful face, and fair and delicate skin that seemed to glow under the light, which was amazing at first sight. He immediately thought she was the daughter of some rich family.
"You are so beautiful." The reporter praised her sincerely and wanted to ask her name, but then thought that it might be impolite to do so in such a banquet where many wealthy people gathered.
She didn't want to lose her job, so she turned around and saw Xiang Zhinian wandering among the guests, so she changed the subject and said, "The banquet is about to start, and I haven't even met Xiang Wanning yet. Do you think she's trying to intimidate Xiang Zhinian?"
The girl next to her raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard her say that and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Xiang Wanning is the real daughter. Look at her spoiled personality in the entertainment industry. Can she tolerate Xiang Zhinian replacing her and living in the Xiang family for twenty years? What's more -"
The reporter quietly approached the girl and added mysteriously, "According to gossip, Xiang Zhinian is actually the child of Xiang Tingye's mistress!"
"Otherwise, why did Xiang Tingye say in the interview that Xiang Zhinian and Xiang Wanning are both his daughters? Xiang Zhinian is even his elder sister!"
girl:……
"Just wait and see. Xiang Wanning will definitely cause trouble for Xiang Zhinian right after the banquet begins!" The reporter seemed to know the secrets of the wealthy family and shook his head again: "She has to establish her authority at the family recognition banquet to confirm her position in the Xiang family. After all, Xiang Zhinian has lived in the Xiang family for twenty years and has a wide network of contacts. Where is there room for Xiang Wanning to stand?"
"You look very experienced." The girl held out the wine glass in her hand and touched it lightly with the cocktail in the reporter's hand. The glasses collided and made a crisp sound. "What do you think Xiang Wanning will do later?"
The reporter compared the information with his own rich database and said confidently, "Generally speaking, in this situation, Xiang Zhinian will take the initiative to find Xiang Wanning, show weakness in front of everyone, and show his harmless side."
"Then Xiang Wanning will definitely ridicule Xiang Zhinian who came to see her in public."
The girl asked at the right time: "How many people are usually present in public? What is the meaning of this ridicule?"
The reporter was stunned, thinking that this young lady, who was not very worldly-wise, really knew nothing. So he patiently gave her an analogy: "Of course the more people there are, the better, but at least there should be one person present. After all, the ridicule must be done in front of others in order to save Chinen's face!"
"As for how to taunt, is there any need to think about it?"
"First, I ridiculed her outfit today, saying that her aesthetic taste was worrying and I don't know what she learned in the 20 years in the Xiang family."
"Then he talked about the entertainment industry. After all, although Xiang Zhinian had helped him a lot during this period, they had many conflicts in the past! He said that he had been bullied by her a lot in the past, and then he poured the wine in his hand on her hand on the spot."
The girl frowned: "I don't think the last part is very good."
"You can also toast her and let her drink all the time. If she doesn't want to drink anymore, she can go to other people and say that she must not be liked by her sister, otherwise why doesn't her sister drink my wine? If she keeps drinking from Chinen, you can mock her for never having tasted good things. After all, that's what rich people do."
The reporter sighed, "For example, the division of property, love and hate, and the third party taking over... in the end, it's just these things. Of course, I didn't say what you meant."
She stepped on Xiang Wanning and secretly stepped on the Xiang family as well, because she knew that she was definitely not qualified to talk to them.
But this girl is different.
The reporter looked at her secretly and saw that she had an extraordinary demeanor, but was not a familiar face. He had not seen her in various news reports, which proved that her family's status must be lower than that of the Xiang family.
But this is not a place where just anyone can come. Even though the Xiang family's family reunion dinner tonight is open to the public, the venue is limited. She had to secretly find a scalper named Lin Zhu to buy the invitation and was able to sneak in.
So the reporter gently praised her and wanted to get in touch with this girl. For people in their line of work, connections are very important.
The reporter saw the girl smiled softly and felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to her, so he asked: "My name is Mu Qinghe, what's your name?"
The girl hadn't spoken yet, her eyes fixed on a figure walking towards her not far away.
The reporter followed her line of sight and exclaimed the moment he saw the figure clearly: "Isn't this Xiang Zhinian? Why is she walking towards us? Could it be that she knew that I bought my invitation from a scalper and is here to kick me out?"
She suddenly became nervous.
At this moment, the girl said: "I think your suggestion just now is very good. I decided to give it a try."
Mu Qinghe was stunned, and after thinking carefully about what had just happened, he asked in a low voice: "What did I suggest? How come I don't know?"
He walked closer to Chinen step by step, and finally stopped two steps away from them.
Seeing her frowning and looking at the girl next to her, Mu Qinghe said helplessly: "Wan Ning, what are you doing hiding here? Come over here and toast to uncle and aunt!"
Mu Qinghe: ...
Wait, my CPU seems to have burned out.
What?
What did you call her? !
Mu Qinghe turned around stiffly, and saw the girl who had just been chatting with her sneer. Then she glanced at her from head to toe and said, "How dare you come out dressed like this? Why didn't I teach you aesthetics in the past 20 years at the Xiang family?"
Mu Qinghe: ...
These are her words!
She watched the two men go away, thought about what she had just said, turned around and slapped herself in the mouth in a dark corner.
Let you talk nonsense! Let you talk nonsense!
——
[The storyline written by that reporter is pretty good, and now it's mine. I was just worrying about the line in the script "Xiang Wan Ning makes a scene at the banquet", so how should I make the scene happen? 】
[Oh, by the way, where is Chen Yanli? Today is the first time he and I meet in the script, let me see... As expected, I want to seduce him secretly.]
【oh? The script also describes other people, the affectionate and infatuated male supporting character Yu Quezhou... I want to seduce him too? 】
[“Xiang Wanning was dissatisfied with the many men praising Xiang Zhinian at the banquet, so she cast an extremely seductive look at them, quietly seducing their hearts, trying to make them all focus on her”]
[…Don’t be so ridiculous. There are so many people here. Why not just put me on the turntable and let me spin around there? 】
Xiang Zhinian: ...
She helplessly reached out and knocked on Xiang Wanning's head, interrupting her thoughts, and then asked, "Why were you hiding in the corner just now? Don't you like this dress?"
Xiang Wanning already holds her in high esteem in her heart:
[Wow, I love it so much. This is my favorite star dress! Woo woo I love you! 】
But she still said, "Huh, I don't know which unknown designer designed it, and I still like it? It's just barely wearable."
As for why I'm hiding in the corner...
Xiang Wanning followed Xiang Zhinian to the center of the banquet and was immediately surrounded by a group of people. Her hands and feet immediately stiffened and she tried to get out of the crowd.
[I suddenly feel a little socially anxious]
"Dad, Mom." Xiang Zhinian greeted his parents with a smile, and then a group of people gathered around Xiang Wanning to greet him.
"Oh, this is Xiang Wanning, she's quite pretty!" A noble lady covered her mouth and held out her wine glass to clink with hers: "I'm a good friend of your mother! Her children are also my children. Come, auntie will have a drink with you!"
Xiang Wanning reviewed the characters in her script:
In the entertainment industry, she is a spoiled and arrogant black lotus who seizes resources, disrespects her predecessors, and rides on other people's popularity...all just for the camera, popularity and resources.
In the Xiang family, she is an arrogant and domineering daughter. She repeatedly framed Xiang Zhinian and made her whole family pay for the suffering she had endured. She ran rampant in the Xiang family... until her framing of Xiang Zhinian was exposed. The whole family hated her. She started to please her parents again, but it was useless. In the end, she was kicked out of the house, broke her leg, and turned completely evil.
But when facing other elders outside, she was very well-behaved and sweet-talking, just to outdo Xiang Zhinian and get a little praise from the elders... Although in the end she found that all the elders she had come into contact with liked Xiang Zhinian more, so she became furious and started to curse them behind their backs.
Xiang Wan Ning immediately understood what was going on. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she smiled and drank the wine in her hand, and said obediently: "Thank you, auntie. You are so beautiful too."
The noble lady grinned and turned to praise Mo Yin beside her, "Wan Ning has such a sweet mouth."
Mo Yin was very happy to see Xiang Wanning being praised, so he smiled and introduced the identity of the noble lady to Xiang Wanning.
After this round, before Xiang Wanning had the chance to toast Xiang Zhinian, her cheeks were already red from drinking and she was drunk.
[No, I want to toast to Chinen and get her drunk? Then mock her for never drinking anything good? Why did I drink so much myself? 】
Xiang Zhinian: ...
She felt a little headache after hearing this voice. Should she tell Xiang Wanning that she could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?
Xiang Wanning thought of her plan, poured another glass of wine, and walked towards Zhinian with a shaky step, muttering: "Come on, sister, let's have a drink."
Then he tripped over his right foot and fell into Xiang Zhinian's arms with the wine.
As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, the audience who rushed in saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
What are you doing? Did Xiang Wanning fall down and spill the wine on purpose? Oh my god, Xiang Zhinian's dress is soaked! Does Xiang Wanning hate her so much? 】
[How can I not hate the person in front?] After all, he robbed her of her life! 】
[I know that their relationship in real life is definitely not as harmonious as it appears on camera! 】
[Xiang Zhinian helped Xiang Wanning so much, but she still threw wine at her? Or embarrass her in front of so many people, what's the point? ! What a heartless person! Fortunately, our sister wore a dark skirt today! 】
What does it mean to be so heartless and ruthless? Xiang Wanning is the only biological daughter of the Xiang family, OK? What's wrong with the young lady spilling some wine? I'm going to throw water on your sister, this wolf in sheep's clothing! 】
[No, the two of you who were arguing earlier, can you please watch the live broadcast carefully? Xiang Zhinian helped her up with a worried look on his face, saying that she was drunk and that there was nothing wrong with them. Why are you here seriously scolding a drunkard? 】
When fans saw this comment, they hurriedly turned to the live broadcast: As expected, they saw Xiang Zhinian helping Xiang Wanning up and walking out, while Xiang Wanning's legs were weak and her cheeks were red as blood, and it was obvious that she was drunk.
Some people are speechless:
[Ah, can you get drunk with just this little bit of alcohol? 】
The two people in the picture met Chen Yanli and Yu Quezhou on their way out. Just when Xiang Zhinian declined their request for help, fans saw Xiang Wanning suddenly reach out and grab Shen Yanli, and immediately became interested.
[What's going on?] Grab your brother-in-law's hand? Come on, isn't this a bit ambiguous? 】
[Could it be that Xiang Wanning is pretending to be drunk? 】
[No, you grabbed your brother-in-law’s hand in front of your sister? Oh my, could it be that my subconscious is playing tricks on me? Does Xiang Wanning just like Chen Yanli? 】
[Sisters, I suddenly thought of the scene in the previous variety show. Xiang Wanning insisted that Xiang Zhinian call her fiancé. Could it be that Xiang Wanning has always liked him? 】
The onlookers were full of anticipation, and then saw Xiang Wanning let go of Shen Yanli's hand and began to grab Yu Quezhou.
Then I only heard her say: "You are so beautiful."
【……】
What did I hear? hello? Isn’t it a battle for brother-in-law? Who the hell is lying to me about military intelligence again? 】
[Is Xiang Wanning drunk and won’t let go of a handsome guy? 】
[What do you mean by liking Chen Yanli? It's so funny. This guy is obsessed with looks. He likes every girl he sees. Let's not fight for the ones in front of him, okay! 】
[I really don’t understand some people. Do they just can’t stand the fact that Xiang Wanning and Xiang Zhinian have a good relationship? You guys are really black-hearted and everything you see is black. I laughed. For example, if Xiang Wanning winks at Yu Quezhou now, will you idiots interpret it as flirting? 】
[Hahaha, just forget about her blinking eyes]
[I now apply to let Xiang Wanning go home and be a young lady, and stop causing trouble in the entertainment industry...]
——Xiang Wanning was really winking at me.
She was thinking about the plot in her mind, and first dragged Shen Yanli through the plot, then grabbed the corner of Yu Quezhou's clothes, and after performing it, she felt that she had grasped the essence.
[Well, first, I'll praise him, then seduce him, well...]
After Xiang Wanning got drunk, she began to stutter:
[There is only one more paragraph left…]
She forcibly broke free from Xiang Wanning's hand, lifted up the hem of her skirt, and staggered to the center of the banquet.
Accompanied by the lyrical piano music, Xiang Wanning lifted her skirt and turned three circles in front of the audience under the dazzling lights.
[I cast my gaze towards them! 】
Did their eyes linger on me? ! 】
Xiang Zhinian: ...
Yu Quezhou: ...
The barrage was silent.
After a long time, someone asked:
Did anyone save it? I was afraid that she would delete the video from the entire internet after she woke up, so I kept a copy for archiving.]
