Jiang Wanning glanced down at her phone's photo album; the photos were truly stunning.
So, she got the urge to draw it again. What should she call it? She decided to call it "The Promise".
Meng Yu and Gao Yiduo were together the whole time.
Gao Yiduo's smile is like a little sun, and she quickly attracted other peers. Gao Yiduo led Meng Yu to join in.
The evening banquet officially began, and the guests took their seats one after another.
Just then, someone delivered a red envelope. When registering the money, the person casually remarked, "Is this a guest from the woman's side?"
The man was wearing a sharp suit, was tall with long legs, fair skin, light gray eyes, and a high nose bridge. He looked like he was of mixed race, and was exceptionally handsome and young.
When he registered, he gave his name: Meng Huaijin.
His female companion reached out to take his arm, but Meng Huaijin only glanced at her indifferently.
The woman immediately withdrew her hand, a look of fear appearing on her face.
Their entrance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The woman's clothes were simply too eye-catching; they were haute couture gowns from a high-end international brand, and with every step she took, it was as if starlight was flowing through her.
This outfit is absolutely gorgeous! Of course, it must have cost a fortune to make.
Unfortunately, her face was rather plain; she could only be described as a girl from a modest family. She couldn't carry off the clothes; the clothes overshadowed her beauty.
Meng Huaijin exuded an imposing aura and was extremely powerful. Women walking beside him seemed completely unworthy, almost like maids carrying his shoes.
Now that Su Zhihan has entered the entertainment industry, she is more knowledgeable about fashion than before.
She overheard the conversation, glanced at the outfit, and was immediately drawn to it.
Looking up, Su Zhihan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Ningning, look who that woman is!"
Jiang Wanning followed Su Zhihan's gaze and her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Zhao Xuenan?"
She didn't care where Zhao Xuenan had run off to.
The Zhao family had long since left, and no one from the Zhao family could be found in the southern part of the city.
Su Zhihan said, "Right? I'm sure that person is Zhao Xuenan! Why did she come here?"
Jiang Wanning frowned.
Meng Huaijin's gaze casually swept across the living room, and when he saw Jiang Wanning, his expression paused slightly.
He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dizzy and with a headache.
Zhao Xuenan quickly supported him: "Huaijin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Meng Huaijin flung Zhao Xuenan's hand away, her voice laced with warning: "Don't touch me! I've said it before, I hate it when women get too close to me! Even if you're my savior, it's still the same!"
Zhao Xuenan bit her lip and obediently took a step back: "I understand."
"I promise to avenge you. After that, we'll have nothing to do with each other."
"I see."
"Also, don't call me Huaijin."
Zhao Xuenan's face became even more unpleasant.
She was certain that everyone around her had heard what Meng Huaijin said.
Although she was Meng Huaijin's female companion, she was nothing at all!
Fu Chenyuan was chatting with someone, and his gaze naturally kept drifting to Jiang Wanning.
Seeing that Jiang Wanning didn't look well, Fu Chenyuan immediately apologized to her: "I'm sorry, my wife seems to be feeling a little unwell, I need to go and check on her."
"Go ahead. Mr. Fu really dotes on his wife."
Fu Chenyuan smiled faintly: "Isn't this what should be done? A wife is meant to be cherished."
Everyone laughed it off.
At first, they were probably sweet and loving, but later on, they grew to hate each other and wished they could strangle each other.
They're still newlyweds after all.
Fu Chenyuan quickly walked to Jiang Wanning's side, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her closer to him.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Wanning shook her head: "No, Hanhan and I both saw Zhao Xuenan."
Zhao Xuenan?
Fu Chenyuan had almost forgotten about this person.
"who?"
"Lin Lin and Zhao Dexing's daughter."
Fu Chenyuan finally remembered.
Where?
They didn't need to look for them; the people just came to them.
Meng Huaijin walked towards Fu Chenyuan.
Others couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves.
"That man is so handsome! He looks like he's mixed race! Who is he?"
"I remember now, he is Meng Huaijin."
"Meng Huaijin?"
"Yes, the illegitimate son of the Meng family. He wasn't recognized by the Meng family at first, and it seems the matriarch threw him onto the street. We never saw him again. A few years later, he returned, seized the Meng family's assets, and created a powerful business empire abroad. The Meng family's businesses are in a neighboring city, so why is he here? Is he here to discuss cooperation with the Fu family?"
"That's possible. The Fu family has grown very powerful in recent years. The three young men of the Fu family are all very promising and handsome. It's a pity they married so young. When the news of his marriage came out, families with daughters were all very disappointed."
Meng Huaijin walked straight towards Fu Chenyuan and then stopped in front of them.
His gaze fell on Jiang Wanning, scrutinizing her from head to toe with a hint of arrogance.
Jiang Wanning frowned; she hated the way this man judged people.
Fu Chenyuan naturally pulled Jiang Wanning even closer to him, subtly blocking Meng Huaijin's view.
Meng Huaijin sensed Fu Chenyuan's hostility and chuckled, "President Fu, how have you been? How does it feel to have your overseas project blocked? The taste of failure must be unpleasant, right?"
Fu Chenyuan said calmly, "So that's who's been pulling these dirty tricks behind the scenes. It turns out it's you, you little bastard."
"You! Ha, the dignified President Fu actually curses people to their faces, how uncivilized!"
"Using underhanded tricks behind people's backs, it's all the same to each other."
The two of them started fighting as soon as they met.
“President Fu, I suggest you give up on the overseas market. There is no way I will let you establish yourself here.”
"Don't worry. No matter how big your businesses are overseas, Meng Huaijin, you can't keep them all to yourself. I'll always get a share."
Meng Huaijin suddenly took a step closer to Jiang Wanning, his gaze coiling around her like a venomous snake.
"This is too much of a hassle for you. I think there's a less stressful way: you can hand over your Mrs. Fu to me. You can marry this woman, and we can cooperate—a win-win situation, how about it?"
Zhao Xuenan held her head high and puffed out her chest, her chin held high with arrogance.
Jiang Wanning looked at Zhao Xuenan, easily shattering her armor: "It seems you've been abroad for too long, Mr. Meng, and your taste has become a bit off. You treat a woman like this like a treasure? Zhao Xuenan, you want revenge? And you're relying on men? Your Zhao family has already been driven out of Nancheng, are you still holding on here?"
Zhao Xuenan gritted her teeth: "You've mistaken me for someone else, I'm not Zhao Xuenan!"
