In front of everyone's shocked eyes, An Zai Che lifted Shen Jiezhu's hand and fastened the star diamond on the necklace onto the ring.
The clasp is perfectly stitched and the star is completely tailor-made for the ring.
The originally simple ring suddenly became luxurious.
An Zai Che looked at the ring in silence for a long time. After Shen Jie Zhu moved her fingers, he let go of her hand.
Just now, he had his eyelids down, and the emotions in his eyes were completely hidden, without any leaking emotions. Until he raised his head, Shen Jiezhu accidentally saw the tears flashing in his eyes, and the face that had been struggling in the business war for many years suddenly became soft.
He looked at her with a kind and gentle gaze, as if he was looking through her face at someone in the past.
Shen Jiezhu's mind moved, and she subconsciously slowed down her breathing. The emotions buried in the original owner's body seemed to emerge little by little. Although she still couldn't remember what happened at the time, the sense of security that she could rely on was enough to make her relax.
She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she heard a female voice behind her, smiling: "Xiao Xi, so many years have passed, and you are finally willing..."
"Ms. Deng, it seems that you have no right to speak here!"
An Zai Che interrupted the woman's voice, his expression was cold and dissatisfied, but when he turned to face Shen Jiezhu, he regained his previous cordiality: "Zhuzhu, you go in first, Xiaosheng, you go in with Zhuzhu."
An Sheng was about to step forward, but Shen Jiezhu spoke up in time to reject him: "No, I can just walk by myself. I also want to go find Yuna. She just sent me a message and asked me to help her pick out a dress."
Of course Lee Yoona didn't post any news, but now Shen Jiezhu can only use this excuse.
She needed some time alone to process the situation.
Shen Jiezhu's face didn't look very good. An Zai Che thought she saw that the Jiang family was in a bad mood, so he nodded and didn't let An Sheng accompany her.
Over the years, she changed her name and started a new life to avoid what happened back then, but now that she is back again, she must learn to stand on her own.
The younger generations of the An family must be outstanding.
Only in this way can the An family remain standing!
In front of everyone, Shen Jiezhu strode into the gate. Xiaomi didn't dare to stay and drove away quickly. There is a special parking lot in the manor for guests to park. But in the current situation, she didn't even dare to stay in the manor.
She might as well drive back to the studio and tell everyone about the situation, and then pick her up when the party is almost over.
Shen Jiezhu left, Xiaomi left, and only the An and Jiang families, as well as the reporters who were standing there in a daze, unable to react, were left at the scene.
The development of this matter is a bit strange, and it seems to be a little different from what they expected.
Shen Jiezhu not only knows An Zaiche, but is also related to Jiang Zhengzhong! The An family and the Jiang family are mortal enemies. How could Shen Jiezhu be related to both families at the same time?
And judging from what happened just now, the An family is obviously more proactive and enthusiastic towards her than the Jiang family. An Zai Che, the old fox from a wealthy family, has plotted against countless business rivals in the past. Others say that he is a smiling but treacherous person with a lot of bad intentions.
But the smile he just gave was clearly a very doting smile!
So many people are watching!
Yes, he just asked An Sheng to accompany Shen Jiezhu to the house. This relationship is a bit too close. Wait, why must An Sheng accompany her? Is there any relationship between Shen Jiezhu and An Sheng? What about Quan Zhilong?
According to their current thinking, if An Sheng and Shen Jiezhu were in a romantic relationship, how could the An family allow Shen Jiezhu to become an internet celebrity, participate in dating variety shows, and form a couple with others?
impossible!
This line can be completely passed.
The reporters looked at each other, and no one dared to ask questions like they did just now. Shen Jiezhu's current identity is a mystery, and she is related to both the An and Jiang families. The best way now is to remain silent and take more photos and videos and send them out.
In this extreme quiet and silence, someone suddenly thought of a detail just now, and then a burst of whispers sounded from the crowd.
"Didn't Madam Jiang call her Xiaoxi just now? So Shen Jiezhu's original name wasn't Shen Jiezhu, and she changed it later, right? Her name is Xiaoxi. Think about it, is there anyone whose name has the word Xi in it?"
"Yes, yes, it seems so. I heard it too. Her name was Xiaoxi!"
"Xiao Xi, this name sounds so familiar. I think a lot of people have this character in their names, right?"
"Is there anyone in the An family whose name contains this character?"
"No, I just did an interview with their family two days ago. An Sheng is their only child. It's only been a few days. It's impossible for someone to suddenly show up, right?"
"Anjia... Anjia... Let me think about it..."
"It seems that the An family is really gone, but what if it is the Jiang family?"
"!! I remember now! Jiang Enxi! Jiang Enxi's name contains this character, and she is related to the An family and the Jiang family, am I remembering correctly?"
"Oh, that's impossible. Didn't Jiang Enxi die ten years ago? It's impossible for her to suddenly reappear?"
In the public's impression, Kang Eun-hee is Ahn Hyun-jung's daughter. After Ahn Hyun-jung's death, she also disappeared many years ago.
"Everyone, I suspect... Jiang Enxi didn't die at all!"
"Wait, wait, wait, you guys are talking too fast. Let me sort out the situation. From what you just said, Shen Jiezhu might be An Xianjing's daughter. Is that what you mean? An Zaiche is her uncle, and An Sheng is her brother?"
"That makes sense now! No wonder Shen Jiezhu is so rich. She has two big families behind her. It would be unreasonable for her to be poor, right?"
…
The reporters finally stopped talking in low voices. Everyone buried their heads in writing their own manuscripts, but they also had to keep an eye on An Zai Che's situation at all times. Their hands were shaking from being so busy.
Soon, the internet was flooded with news, all of which included photos and videos of Sim Jie Zhu appearing at Lee Yoo Na's birthday party.
The media, which has been guessing Shen Jiezhu's identity for several months, finally got closer to the truth today. Although it is not 100% certain yet, this guess is already very reasonable.
Just because no one came to the scene to ask them to sign a confidentiality agreement, doesn’t that mean they can release it?
Everyone reached a consensus in their hearts, and together they sent Shen Jiezhu to the top of the hot recommendations and lists of major websites. The three words Shen Jiezhu appeared frequently, and the popularity was unparalleled.
[Shin Ji Joo appeared at Lee Yoo Na's birthday party, her true identity has been revealed! ]
[Ahn Hyun-jung's daughter? Who is the internet celebrity Sim Jae-joo? ]
[After becoming a metaphysical teacher, what is the mysterious relationship between Shen Jiezhu and Jiang Jiaan? ]
[Kang Eun-hee is resurrected from the dead. Is Shen Jiezhu really Kang Eun-hee? ]
【Shen Jiezhu refused An Sheng's company and entered the banquet hall alone.】
…
Shen Jiezhu sat next to the French window on the second floor, leaning back in her chair, casually swiping the screen of her mobile phone with her slender fingers, so fast that the words appeared double.
The media is so fast that now her phone notifications are filled with her.
The content is similar, it's nothing more than guessing her identity.
But speculation is speculation, and no one can explain the situation of Jiang Enxi clearly. The information everyone knows seems to be similar, and no one knows what happened that year.
And she herself doesn't know.
With her mind in a mess, Shen Jiezhu put down her phone and was about to turn her head to look out the window, but her sight inadvertently swept across a large open space on the other side. There was no one there just now, but now, in just a few minutes, there are so many people.
The other people who came to the party watched her like they were watching a monkey in a zoo, and from time to time they would lower their heads and say a few words, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Shen Jiezhu sighed deeply and looked at the scenery outside the window with a long gaze, not knowing where it was drifting to.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
Except for the parties involved, no one knows the details of what happened back then. If she wants to know what happened, she must figure it out herself!
The original owner had such a strong willpower to seal up his memories, perhaps because he was afraid of facing such a situation.
Thinking of this, she began to look for the memories that the original owner had deliberately forgotten for many years and that she least wanted to be dug up. Some fragmented fragments echoed in her mind.
There is a picture of a family going out for a picnic, which should be when she was very young, because there is a little girl among them, wearing a goose yellow plaid princess dress, and the faces of both parents cannot be seen clearly.
There is a picture of a family celebrating Christmas. The family plays and plays, goes to the amusement park, goes to the mall, and goes to various banquets...
Most of them were good memories, and when she tried to recall them more deeply, her head started to hurt.
Shen Jiezhu bit her lip and frowned in discomfort. In the pain, her right hand unconsciously touched the ring, hoping to relieve her inner depression.
The action of touching the ring was completely instinctive, as if she had done it countless times before.
As she stroked the ring across her fingers, the same feeling of intimacy returned.
…
This ring... seems very familiar to the original owner.
But the strange thing is that in addition to the intimate feeling this ring gave her, it also gave her more depression and pain, as well as an unknown guilt that made it hard for her to breathe.
She had made a big mistake before, and this mistake caused her to fall from heaven to hell, and she suffered for a long, long time. When she couldn't hold on any longer, her body's protective mechanism subconsciously sealed this memory, and even now, even though her soul has been replaced, her body is still afraid to touch this wound.
Because this wound hurts so much!
So, what is going on?
Shen Jiezhu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to endure the pain for the time being.
However, things did not go as planned. Just when she was about to remember, Lee Yoona's father began to speak.
The place where he was speaking was a small platform in the lobby on the first floor. Shen Jiezhu stood up and moved to the side, putting her hands on the solid wood armrest and looking down at the other person.
Lee Yoo Na's father was wearing a dark blue suit with his hair neatly combed. He looked very polite, dressed like a businessman.
He first bowed and thanked all the relatives and friends for coming.
Shen Jiezhu listened and found that 2/3 of his thanks were related to the An and Jiang families. If she had not been sure that the invitation she received was for Lee Yoona's birthday, she would have really suspected that she had mistakenly entered a commercial banquet.
Otherwise, why are everyone's words so official?
It was not as lively as a birthday party at all, but more like a cold commercial arbitration meeting.
There were a few people standing around her in twos and threes. When Shen Jiezhu looked at them with her remaining eyes, she saw habit and naturalness on their faces.
It seems like this is what a birthday party should be like.
Shen Jiezhu didn't understand. This was her first time attending a wealthy family's birthday party. If it weren't for Lee Yoona, she might never have had such an opportunity to appear here.
Yes, isn’t today Lee Yoona’s birthday?
Why isn’t Lee Yoona here?
Shen Jiezhu looked down in confusion. The small platform on the first floor was not very big, and from her angle, she could see everything.
Lee Yoo Na was definitely not on the stage.
What is going on?
Shen Jiezhu wanted to use her cell phone to inquire about the situation.
Just at this moment, her father spoke again, and Shen Jiezhu stopped typing because of what he said.
"It just so happens that so many relatives and friends are here today, and we would like to invite everyone to witness that today is not only our Yoona's birthday, but also the day she is getting engaged to Seok-hyun of Park Group. Hahahaha, we have been old friends with Park Group for many years, and Yoona and Seok-hyun also grew up together, the two of them..."
Shen Jiezhu could no longer hear the following sound.
The only thing left in her mind was Lee Yoona's engagement speech.
Why so sudden?
Isn't engagement a very important thing? Why did you decide so suddenly?
There was no news at all before. With Yoona's personality, if she was going to get engaged, she would definitely tell me secretly!
But for such a long time, she didn't mention it at all.
Even when we said goodbye at the airport not long ago, she said she was going to prepare a birthday party, not an engagement party.
No wonder so many people come here.
It turns out to be a collaboration between two families...
Shen Jiezhu swallowed and calmed herself down. At this time, Li Youna had already walked onto the stage holding a man's arm.
She put on delicate makeup today, and her usual childishness and innocence were all concealed by the makeup, leaving only gentleness and tranquility.
Facing everyone's applause, she was indeed smiling, but Shen Jiezhu clearly sensed the sadness in her smile, as if she originally did not want to get engaged but was powerless to refute this relationship.
…
Shen Jiezhu noticed something was wrong, put down her wine glass, turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase.
She had to go upstairs to see her. Who on earth was this Park Seok-hyun? Yoona had never mentioned him before, so how come they suddenly became childhood sweethearts?
Everyone's attention was focused on the small platform, and no one noticed that Shen Jiezhu had walked down from the second floor and was standing in a small corner next to the stairs.
An Sheng had been keeping an eye on her because of his father's order, so the moment she stood still, he strode towards Shen Jiezhu.
Just at this moment, Park Seok-hyun also stood firmly on the stage and turned around.
!!!
Such a familiar face, and you can tell at a glance that he is overindulging himself...
Isn’t this the person that Yoona once scolded for a long time by pointing at a photo?
Is he Park Seok-hyun?
Shen Jiezhu remembered it very clearly because Yuna had never scolded someone like that before. She used all kinds of hateful words and her face turned pale with anger. The disgust and rejection on her face were so obvious that she still remembers it vividly to this day.
How could Yoona be willing to get engaged to a man like this?
Shen Jiezhu subconsciously lifted her feet and walked forward. Among the black and white dresses, her outfit was dazzling. In addition, everyone was standing and she was the only one moving forward, so Lee Yoo Na on the stage saw her at a glance.
The anxiety and worry on Shen Jiezhu's face were so obvious.
Lee Yoo Na saw it very clearly, and the smile that had been maintained for a long time finally began to crack. Her gaze followed the outstanding figure, and there was more and more grievance in her eyes.
The birthday party suddenly turned into an engagement party, and she only found out about it this morning.
She didn't want to do it at all, but no one was there to help her...
My parents asked me to get engaged, so I had to get engaged. There was no room for resistance at all.
Marriages between wealthy families are very normal. Even if they are two enemies, they must stand together with a smile.
She knew that she was not the first person to be forced into engagement, and that there were many oppa and oppai before her who were unable to choose to be with the person they loved, but she was still very sad.
She didn't like Park Seok-hyun at all, she hated him very much. He was well-known in the circle for being a playful person and had a very bad reputation. She felt disgusted when she saw him!
Amid the smiles of the people around her, she felt isolated and helpless.
But now Zhuzhu came, and she found something was wrong, so she came to help herself.
There were so many people at the scene, but she was the only one who knew that she was unwilling, and she was the only one who was willing to help herself...
Shen Jiezhu walked through the crowd, from the back of the hall, all the way to the front.
Lee Yoo Na looked at her figure getting closer and closer, with more and more expectations in her eyes. Her originally dull and lifeless eyes seemed to burst with a different kind of brilliance.
Just before she was about to walk to the first row, the expectation in Lee Yoo Na's eyes suddenly disappeared.
Because An Sheng suddenly came over, grabbed Shen Jiezhu's wrist and pulled her out of the hall.
Soon, the two men disappeared from sight.
Lee Yoo Na lowered her head and tried her best to hide her sadness.
Yes, Zhuzhu’s identity is different now. She is a member of the An family, and An Sheng will definitely stop her.
Even she can't help herself...
"Zhuzhu, don't mix this up with Lee Yoona's affairs. This has nothing to do with you. Don't cause trouble for yourself!"
In the corridor of the side hall, An Sheng looked at Shen Jiezhu with the attitude of an elder.
The latter rudely shook off his hand, rubbed his already red wrist, and replied with a frown.
"President An, what is your relationship with me? Why do you care about me?"
Although Shen Jiezhu had already guessed that the original owner must have a relationship with the An family, she still found the current situation a little ridiculous.
In nearly ten years, I haven't seen him pay attention to the original owner's life. Why is he speaking in such a preachy tone now?
I haven't even met him yet, but he already acts like I'm his elder brother.
Isn't it ridiculous?
Perhaps because Shen Jiezhu's displeasure was too obvious, An Sheng immediately slowed down his voice: "Zhuzhu, I'm sorry I was too anxious just now. You can't get involved in Li Youna's matter. That's their business. Even if she just asked you for help, you can't intervene."
"When did I say I was going to interfere?"
Sister Shen frowned and asked back.
At that moment, she was indeed very anxious and wanted to fly up and ruin their engagement.
But she was not confused. She knew better than anyone that with so many seniors present, the engagement ceremony had to end perfectly.
And she just walked to the front just to wink at Yuna and calm her down.
But before he could move, An Sheng pulled him over.
An Sheng was stunned for a second before he realized that he seemed to have overthought?
Just when he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from the hall...
"no!"
Then there was a burst of noise.
