Yao Manning stood frozen in place, her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Jiang Can smiled and gracefully walked out of the lounge.
Originally, she didn't want to fight for anything, but since someone insisted on fighting her, she didn't mind fighting this battle to the end.
Since she has already boasted that she is the mistress of the Huo family, she should act like one now.
She gracefully walked into the banquet hall, stood beside Huo Zhixing, and gently took his arm, appearing calm and composed.
"Yes, you made the right choice with this dress," Huo Zhixing chuckled. "Everyone is watching you."
"How could the one you chose for me be wrong?" She nestled against him like a little bird.
Fang Han led several French businessmen in.
Huo Zhixing nodded slightly, smiled politely, and exchanged a few pleasantries. Just as he was about to introduce Jiang Can to them, Yao Manning suddenly stepped out from the side.
"Knowledge and Action!"
Her appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Many of those present were aware of the relationship between the Huo and Yao families, and in their minds, the marriage between Huo Zhixing and Yao Manning was a foregone conclusion.
But to everyone's surprise, when Master Huo returned from Jiangzhou, he brought back another woman.
There has been much speculation about this woman, but nothing is certain until today when we were finally able to catch a glimpse of her from afar.
However, at this critical juncture, Yao Manning also arrived...
Everyone watched with a "let's see what happens" attitude.
Yao Manning walked up to Huo Zhixing in a few steps, her graceful figure captivating, and deliberately glanced at Jiang Can beside him.
“Zhixing, I invited these French businessmen here! Also, I brought the translator with me.”
"Hmm." Huo Zhixing nodded expressionlessly.
Yao Manning turned around and gave the translator a wink.
The translator immediately understood and stepped forward to say to the French people in French, "Welcome everyone to this signing ceremony. Mr. Huo and Ms. Yao will be together..."
"Mr. Huo and Miss Yao?" one of the Frenchmen interrupted her, looking puzzled.
He glanced at Jiang Can, his smile somewhat awkward.
This awkward situation is exactly what Yao Manning wants.
Yao Manning was very proud. Jiang Can, that country bumpkin, couldn't understand French at all, while Huo Zhixing had studied English and Spanish since childhood and knew nothing about French!
“It’s alright,” she glanced at the translator and chuckled, “Let’s continue!”
The translator nodded.
However, just as she was about to continue, Jiang Can suddenly smiled and introduced herself to the foreign guests in extremely standard and fluent French.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Can. I'm here with President Huo today. After the ceremony, President Huo and I will be hosting the banquet for you all. I hope you have a great time!"
"Oh!" The Frenchmen laughed with relief and stepped forward to kiss her hands. "Miss Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Thanks."
"Is Miss Jiang Mr. Huo's dance partner?"
"Of course." Jiang Can replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, displaying great composure.
Huo Zhixing put his arm around her shoulder, his eyes full of doting affection. Then he spoke in French to the French businessmen: "That translator wasn't very professional; he even got names wrong. It's really unacceptable."
"So my wife and I will be with you all at the banquet tonight. My wife speaks excellent French and can act as your translator!"
"Ah!" The Frenchman laughed, his eyes lighting up. "So it's Mr. Huo's wife!"
Now all eyes in the banquet hall were on Jiang Can.
They whispered amongst themselves in surprise, discussing Jiang Can's background, while Yao Manning stared at Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing with a grim expression.
How could that be...?
How could Jiang Can possibly know French!
Yao Manning's clenched fist trembled slightly.
Ever since she ran into Jiang Yao at Huo Zhiyan's place, she had kept an eye on this woman. Later, she discovered that Jiang Yao was very easy to fool, so she devised a way to bribe her.
Jiang Yao wanted a studio, so she gave her one. All this woman needed was some valuable information to deal with Jiang Can.
But to her surprise, the information Jiang Yao gave her was fake news!
That day, she had solemnly assured her, "Miss Yao, don't worry! Jiang Can hardly went to school since she was little, and even when she did go to school, she didn't study hard and didn't learn anything well! Ha, the reason she was able to go to university was because my father spent money to buy her a place!"
Yao Manning was so angry that her teeth were chattering.
Looking back now, it's highly likely that this was a lie made up by Jiang Yao out of jealousy of Jiang Can, and she was foolish enough to believe it!
"Miss Yao." Fang Han's voice suddenly came from behind.
Yao Manning was startled.
“Miss Yao, do you really think our young master doesn’t understand French?” Fang Han’s lips curled up in a mocking smile. “Our young master grew up in Europe and goes to Paris several times a year. Speaking French is not difficult for him.”
"But……"
But in the past, whether he was attending business negotiations or banquets, he always carried a translator with him whenever there were foreign guests.
It turns out he wasn't incapable; he was just pretending!
Yao Manning trembled all over, glared at Fang Han, turned around and strode away in her high heels.
It wasn't until the banquet ended that Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing walked hand in hand in the courtyard.
The cool evening breeze dispelled Jiang Can's bad mood from seeing Yao Manning earlier.
They walked slowly, the moonlight casting their shadows on the ground. She rested her head on his shoulder, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Zhixing asked in a low, husky voice, smiling gently at her.
Jiang Can shook her head and laughed. "After so many days, I finally have some free time to relax. I don't want to waste this precious time thinking about things!"
"Is it tiring staying with my mom?"
"Although it's tiring, I like it!"
He knew that she was the type to be happier the busier she was, and if her work wasn't challenging enough, she would become listless.
He learned from Fu Xiuyu that in addition to being her senior assistant, Jiang Can also acted as the agent for celebrities, helping them get gigs, arranging schedules, and even being responsible for training newly debuted artists.
He also learned that the trainees recently signed by Yufeng Media were all young, handsome male idols...
Huo Zhixing's expression slowly darkened as he thought of this.
Fu Group's entertainment and media division has made tough-guy actors famous in the UK, but here they're signing young, pretty boys?
I really don't know what my mom is thinking!
"Zhixing, what's wrong?" Jiang Can's sweet voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Hmm?" Huo Zhixing finally suppressed his complaints about his mother and turned to look at her.
"I'm talking to you, but you're not listening?" Jiang Can pouted.
"What did you say?"
"I said..." she smiled helplessly, "I'm going to meet Nie Xin tomorrow!"
"What?" Huo Zhixing stared at her.
He had almost forgotten about Nie Xin ever since Nie Xin was defeated by him last time.
If Lu Lishan hadn't tried three hundred lipsticks, he wouldn't have wanted to have anything to do with this person.
Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to sign Nie Xin to Qingshan Entertainment, Jiang Can suddenly appeared and became his competitor.
