It takes about an hour to get from the Wizard House to the manor. There is a lot of traffic in the city. Looking at the cars going in the same direction as her, Xiaomi always feels that they are also going to attend the birthday party.

"Pig, look at this car, the license plate number is unusual, I think he must be going to the manor!"

"And this, the latest model of Ferrari, most people can't afford it!"

"The car in front of us is really expensive, so let's drive slower. Safety comes first, other things are not important. We have enough time, we won't be late!"

"Sure enough, this road obviously leads to the manor. My guess was right. These two cars are indeed together. I really want to see who is inside..."

"Look at that black car behind us. It's following us. Could it be someone you know?"

Shen Jiezhu was sitting in the back seat looking at her phone. When she heard Xiaomi's words, she subconsciously looked up and glanced back through the rearview mirror. Sure enough, there was a black extended Lincoln following behind their car. From the appearance, it seemed to have been modified.

Rich kids who are used to racing like to modify cars, but most of their modified cars are sports cars and off-road vehicles. But the one following them now is obviously a commercial vehicle.

It seems that there might be a prominent figure sitting in the car behind them.

…

"What kind of car was that? It almost crushed us. What kind of driving skills are you using?"

"I'm not saying this, this road is too difficult to travel. Since it leads to the manor, can't a better road be built?"

"What's wrong with the car in front of me? Why did it brake suddenly? I was scared to death. Does it understand the traffic rules?"

Xiaomi's complaints were heard again. Shen Jiezhu retracted her gaze and her clear eyes fell on her profile. She couldn't help but smile and advised her in a good-tempered manner with a gentle voice.

"Haha, Xiaomi, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry and not caring about other cars? We just need to be careful. It's okay. Let's drive slowly."

Shen Jiezhu was as steady as ever. Her voice was like a sedative, calming down the irritable Xiaomi. The car speed slowly decreased, and the road that had been very bumpy just now seemed to be smoother now.

"Phew, I was too excited last night and didn't sleep well. It was indeed my fault."

Xiaomi's mood these days has been like a roller coaster. Ever since she learned that Zhuzhu was invited to the birthday party, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was and couldn't sleep. This strange feeling tormented her for several days, which led to her insomnia.

She finally fell asleep last night, but within half an hour she had a bad dream. She was extremely awake until the next morning.

I felt so dull the whole morning, without any energy at all.

Fortunately, I put on makeup and looked pretty good.

"Xiaomi, why don't you find a place to park the car and let me drive."

Shen Jiezhu noticed the fatigue in her eyes and was a little worried. She was originally supposed to drive the car in the morning, but Xiaomi took over the task of driving because it was inconvenient for her to do so in her dress and high heels.

"It's okay. I'll concentrate. How about putting on some music?"

Of course there is no problem with Shen Jiezhu.

Xiaomi casually clicked on a list, and the first song played was "The Secret of the Rose".

Listening to her own song in the car, Shen Jiezhu inexplicably felt a little strange. However, when Xiaomi heard this song, she was immediately excited and her smile became wider and wider: "Pig, you will never guess how much this song has sold. We have been dominating the charts for a week! A week! What a concept! It was airdropped with absolutely zero publicity!"

"The studio has received many requests for songs. SM and YG have also asked about it. We may have to find a day to hold a meeting."

"Let's wait until the Prada show is over. Has the time for the next episode of Approaching Science been confirmed? Like last time, let's set aside two days."

"good."

After leaving the city, the car drove smoothly all the way, following the flow of cars going to the birthday party. Fifteen minutes before the party started, they arrived at their destination.

The gate of the manor was open, and the magnificent mansion was hidden deep inside. After walking around the circular garden in the center of the manor, you can see the gate of the villa.

As far as the eye can see, a castle-like building stands before you. From the outside, it seems that the outer walls of the castle are made of an unknown material, but in the slightly orange glow of the sunset, they are full of colorful light.

There were two rows of waiters standing at the door. On the right were tall male waiters in uniforms, with bow ties at the same angle. On the left were female waiters with big smiles on their faces, but the high heels on their feet looked painful.

It was clearly just a birthday party, but it felt like an international celebration. A wide red carpet was rolled out from the door, filling up not only the five steps but also the platform at the door that could park four or five cars.

On both sides of the platform steps were reporters from various media, holding cannons and aiming them at every passing car.

The Li family actually allowed reporters to enter the manor gate to take pictures. With such a close distance, everyone who comes here will definitely be reported.

The gatherings of wealthy families are usually relatively low-key, and they will not deliberately seek media coverage unless there is a purpose, so...what is the Li family's purpose this time?

Forget it, why think so much, what does this have to do with you.

Shen Jiezhu shook her head gently, putting all the questions in her mind behind her. She had no desire to explore, but she felt a little sorry for Yuna, who couldn't just celebrate her birthday and eat cake on such a meaningful day.

There are still ten minutes until the party starts.

When Xiaomi saw the time, she gave Shen Jiezhu an apologetic look.

"Sorry piggy."

She was squeezed from the front and back along the way and had no way to speed up. If she had known it would take so long, she should have overtaken just now.

In general, the later someone arrives at a banquet, the more prominent they are. With Shen Jiezhu's current status, she should have arrived half an hour earlier. Most young people would choose to arrive early to avoid bumping into the big guys.

Under the strict system of seniority, if young people and old people arrived at the same time, unless they were relatives or friends traveling together, they would be considered to be putting on airs and would be scolded to death.

As the car in front stopped, a middle-aged man in a black suit got out of it. The reporters squatting nearby took photos frantically with flash lights flashing non-stop.

The reporters were gathered together, talking at the same time, and it was hard to hear clearly.

Xiaomi looked around in the dazzling light, trying to find a way to get out of the waiting queue, but was stopped by Shen Jiezhu.

"It's okay, just stop here. Since you're already in this line, you probably can't get out."

After all, the design of this manor does not allow any space for cars entering the gate to turn around.

Unless, take a walk around the estate and leave.

As Shen Jiezhu's car stopped, the stretched Lincoln that had been following them all the way finally stopped as well. All of a sudden, three cars stopped on the platform in front of the stairs. Except for the person in the first car who showed up, the doors of the other two cars were tightly closed and there was no movement.

The waiters were already waiting outside the car door, just waiting for the lock to open.

The stretched Lincoln at least has a door handle for the waiter to open. Shen Jiezhu's car today is a Bugatti that she has never shown to the public before. The hidden door handle makes it impossible for the waiter to open it.

Two waiters were waiting by the side like door gods. Reporters noticed this and turned their attention to them again.

The three people in the car in front of us had all gotten off. A middle-aged couple and a young man were a happy family of three. The lady was well-maintained, wearing a purple dress, and looked very young. Although the man next to him was a little older, he still showed the shrewdness of a superior.

The young man should be their son, tall and handsome. The three of them smiled happily when facing the camera and looked very well-mannered.

When Shen Jiezhu saw them, she frowned subconsciously, feeling a little uncomfortable. But soon, she was attracted by a burst of exclamations.

"Mr. An! Mrs. An!"

"Mr. An..."

Mr. An?

Is it An Sheng?

Shen Jiezhu was very sensitive to this address and immediately turned her head to look back. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in her eyes. He was wearing the same white suit as before, but this time, the white had some light dark patterns.

He was already tall and slender, and now standing next to the black car, he looked even more elegant. Compared to the last time we met, his signature gold-framed glasses had a small gold decoration on the nose pad, giving off a warm feeling of profound knowledge and genuine purity.

Unlike before when he was alone, this time there was a middle-aged couple standing next to him.

The woman was a graceful and kind-looking person nurtured by money. The man happened to have his back to her, so she couldn't see him. She could only make a rough guess based on his back. It should be similar to An Sheng's feeling, right?

After all, they are father and son. How big of a difference can there be?

The people in the two cars in front and behind had already appeared. The two groups of people stared at each other from a distance, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The noisy reporters immediately quieted down and nervously filmed the reactions of the two groups of people.

Shen Jiezhu was about to get off the car when she stopped.

She knew An Sheng's identity, so she was sure that the owner of the car behind was the An family who had withdrawn from Han Country as the media reported.

As everyone knows, there is only one family that can compete with the An family, and that is... the direct descendant of the Jiang family.

During this time, under the threat of Xiaomi, she made up for the past love-hate relationship between the An and Jiang families. This drama of the wealthy family has been staged for so many years, and until today, it is still talked about with relish.

Shen Jiezhu originally thought that she was just a spectator.

This time she attended the party with only one idea, which was to stay in a corner for a few hours and then go home.

Unexpectedly, before the banquet even started, she was sandwiched between the An and Jiang families.

If I get off the car now, I can ease the tense atmosphere outside the car, but I will become a thorn in the eyes of the Anjiang and Jiang families. If the two families put pressure on me at the same time, my fate can be imagined.

But if he didn't get off the car, the An family and the Jiang family had already shown up. What qualifications did he have to sit there quietly and not show up? Wasn't this an open challenge to both of them?

…

This is a dead end. You can't go forward or backward.

Now she could only pray that no one would notice her car. When more and more reporters came, she could open the car door and sneak out!

But unfortunately, the car she drove today was red.

Between white and black, red is so eye-catching. Seeing more and more reporters pointing their cameras at her car, Shen Jiezhu felt that she was being stared at by countless people.

Although she couldn't see what was inside from the outside, she still felt that she was exposed.

The reporter's commotion attracted the attention of two groups of people in Anjiang, and all eyes seemed to be focused on the center.

"There's nothing I can do..."

Shen Jiezhu murmured to herself that if she didn't get off the car, she would be disrespecting An Jiang and the others.

"Xiaomi, unlock the car."

The car door opened with a click. The waiter, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound. He raised his hand and opened the door with quick and decisive movements.

The moment the car door opened, the sounds that were blocked out from outside poured into my ears like the wind.

"Ah... here it comes, stop squeezing me!"

"Did you see clearly? Who is it?"

"I've never seen this car before. This must be the first time it's been driven out."

"After such a long time without getting off the bus, I felt that the people inside might be frightened."

"He looks like a big shot. Is there anyone more powerful than An Kang at this party? Could it be Lee Yoona, the host of this party?"

"How is that possible? The Li family doesn't have the guts to get in between An Jiang, right?"

…

All kinds of sounds were paused the moment Shen Jiezhu appeared.

"Hiss... this..."

"Why is it Shen Jiezhu? Is she a special guest? She parked her car in the middle. What's the plot?"

"Is Shen Jiezhu finished now?"

"What a pity, she had to quit the entertainment industry not long after becoming famous. Tsk tsk tsk, I quite liked her..."

"Who cares? Just take the photo! Isn't that going to make the headlines?"

The waiter stretched out his hand, his white gloves reflecting the light. Shen Jiezhu looked calm, placed her hand on his, then leaned over, and with his help, got out of the car.

The Valentino dress slid down from the seat as she moved. The irregular long skirt, which was dark blue with gold dots and gradually turned into white, was wrapped in a warm atmosphere. The light also fell on her slender and smooth calves. The silver high heels on her feet made her ankles look even more graceful.

The sapphire necklace around her neck is simple and elegant, echoing the diamonds on her small earlobes.

This was also a gem she found in the jewelry box. The name was very long and dreamy, something like Eternal Starry Sky, which roughly means eternal starry sky and eternal dream.

The most special detail is that there is a star diamond next to the sapphire. When she wore it, she put it on and took it off several times to put the star in the most ideal position.

Most people at the scene have little knowledge of gemstones and can only judge the price based on appearance.

Compared with the one she wore last time, this necklace is a little mediocre, but the price is definitely not small.

When the Jiang family saw the necklace, their faces instantly turned ugly, but An Zai Che chuckled and looked very satisfied.

Someone accidentally noticed this detail and immediately widened their eyes...

There is a situation!

Something is wrong! It is so, so wrong!

Shen Jiezhu wore lighter makeup today, with cool-toned eyeshadow, which made her look very cold. When her eyebrows were slightly raised and her eyes were half closed, she exuded a sense of alienation and indifference that even the sunset glow could not melt. She just stood there, unapproachable.

In front of strangers, she unconsciously became aloof, thus isolating herself from the complex environment. This was her instinct.

Shen Jiezhu looked like she didn't dare to speak, but compared to the Jiang family and the An family, the reporters felt that she was simply extremely talkative!

Instead of wasting time on the other two, it's better to dig out some information from her.

"Pig, the party is about to start. You arrived on time. Is it because you don't want to come?"

The reporter started by asking such a sharp question.

When Shen Jiezhu got off the car, she had already made it clear that she would not answer any questions and would never fall into the reporter's trap.

"I'm just here to attend a friend's party. I won't answer any questions. Thank you."

Having said that, she lowered her head and prepared to move forward.

The reporters were not willing to let her go and blocked the way ahead.

They just took pictures of so many people, and Shen Jiezhu was the only one who was in the entertainment industry. If you are in the entertainment industry, you have to give face to reporters. Moreover, D Club is here today. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, who would not smile when seeing D Club?

What's so crazy about Shen Jiezhu?

Facts have proved that the reporters are too narrow-minded and think too little. Shen Jiezhu is really crazy, so crazy that she ignores anyone and walks straight up the stairs.

The reporters were all stunned. Shen Jiezhu was truly the first person in history who didn't even turn her head back. Did she really not intend to stay in the entertainment industry, or did she think they couldn't do anything to her?

"Pig, don't you plan to say hello to Mr. An and Mr. Jiang? Does this mean that you don't take the An and Jiang families seriously?"

"Pig, you are so anxious to get in. Are you scared? Why don't you dare to look back?"

"You pig..."

The reporters showed their perseverance to the extreme. When Shen Jiezhu went up the stairs, they followed her. Just when she was about to reach the last floor, Mr. Jiang suddenly spoke.

"Pig? Your name is..."

The reporters immediately fell silent and stared at Mr. Jiang nervously, waiting for him to say something or other and bring out some big news.

However, before he could open his mouth, An Zai Che on the other side interrupted him.

"Hahaha!"

An Zai Che was laughing, but this laughter felt like increasing pressure on everyone else.

The reporters clutched their microphones tightly, their eyes flickering between the two men, their hearts so excited that they set off firecrackers.

Here it comes! Right!

After being so tense for so long...the two families in An and Jiang finally faced off!

So what happens next?

So exciting!

Will An Jae-cheol criticize the Jiang family as worthless as he did before?

The Jiang family is now developing well overseas, the scale of the group is expanding again and again, and they are doing very well. Will they still allow An Zai Che to cause trouble without fighting back as they did before?

So exciting!

The wars among the wealthy are indeed the most interesting to watch, much more interesting than those melodramatic TV dramas. It’s exciting just to think about a bunch of tycoons performing.

There is a high probability that Shen Jiezhu will be the first target of the An family. Alas, there is no way she can do it. She is so unlucky that she happens to meet these two mortal enemies. It is a pity...

Everyone seemed to have foreseen Shen Jiezhu's ending, and their faces showed an expression of waiting to see a good show. However, gradually, they discovered that something was wrong.

An Zai Cheol's smile was not sarcastic, but a smile from the heart.

The person he was laughing at was not his own son, but Shen Jiezhu?

Realizing this, everyone was like seeing a ghost, with countless question marks popping up in their heads. They wanted to tell themselves that this must not be true, but the situation before them forced them to believe that Shen Jiezhu's background was too complicated... She, she, she, she actually had a relationship with An Zai Che!

Otherwise, why would An Zai Che approach Shen Jiezhu step by step?

What on earth is going on?

At this moment, a thought popped up in everyone's mind: Could Shen Jiezhu be An Zai Che's daughter?

This group of people includes Shen Jiezhu herself.

To be honest, when Shen Jiezhu saw the legendary tycoon walking towards her step by step with a tolerant smile on his face, she frowned subconsciously.

She reacted very directly to this approach; her wrinkled brows were enough to tell it all: she was very unwilling to have any contact with Ahn Jae-cheol.

Ahn Jae-cheol is really too unfamiliar.

There is absolutely no such person in her memory!

If they are really father and daughter, they wouldn't be so unfamiliar. They should have some memory of each other, right?

Everyone saw her expression, and they all showed a little surprise.

With such a good opportunity, if she could just manage her facial expression, control her resistance, and pretend to be excited and thrilled, maybe if An Zai Che was happy, she would be able to have a relationship with the An family.

In this case, who in the circle would dare to cause trouble for her?

There are not many troublemakers in this world who actively seek trouble with the An family.

Now, there can be at least half fewer people watching her, waiting for her to make a mistake and then taking advantage of her!

Sister Shen is so stupid!

Everyone sighed silently in their hearts, feeling sad that her unconcealed frown made her miss the chance to rise to the top. However, An Zai Che, who saw it most clearly, remained amiable and kind.

Finally, he stood in front of her.

"Hello, Mr. An, I am Shen Jiezhu."

Shen Jiezhu raised the corners of her lips and gave him a flawless smile. She bowed and greeted him. When he heard her name, he smiled and nodded.

"Well, okay, okay, the name Shen Jiezhu is good, and it's also good."

…

So he came here just to evaluate his own name?

Shen Jiezhu pursed her lips and said nothing more.

She originally thought that as long as she kept silent, the conversation between them would be over. After all, she and he had nothing in common, and deliberately bringing up some topics might even annoy him.

However, what was unexpected was that this time it was An Zai Che who spoke. Not only did he speak, he also took action.

Watching him slowly raising his hand, Shen Jiezhu did not move, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The next second, she felt a gentle touch on her neck.

It was very light, like taking something, and there was no feeling of being offended.

If it were in the past, she would have subconsciously dodged, but now she did not move because she heard the doting and kindness in the other person's tone.

Light seemed to shine into the dusty and depressing memory room. She didn't know why, but she actually felt familiar from the tone of the person in front of her!

"My child, this necklace is not worn like this. The star is taken off and placed on the ring. Look, it's like this..."
