Jiang Can looked in the direction of the sound.
Jiang Yao was seen wearing a gold strapless dress, strutting confidently through the crowd.
Not far away, Yao Manning watched the spectacle with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"So what if she's the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family? Just a nouveau riche! Who in Yangcheng doesn't know that the Wang family sells pig feed? Hahaha..."
Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Meiyun's expression immediately changed. Many guests also overheard the discussion and wore complex expressions.
Compared to the other major families, the Wang family does not have a particularly deep family foundation.
However, the Wang family is wealthy and powerful, and in addition to their agricultural businesses, they also spend lavishly on buying land and building houses.
No one in high society dared to look down on the Wang family, and no one would even utter the word "nouveau riche"...
Jiang Can glanced over there and saw that Jiang Yao's smug expression made her look like a fool.
She concluded that Jiang Yao had been used as a pawn again.
Jiang Can felt ashamed. Although she was not related to Jiang Yao by blood, she had a connection with the Jiang family for more than 20 years.
"Aunt Yun..." she said apologetically, "Don't listen to her, she..."
"Is she your older sister?" Wang Meiyun asked calmly.
Before she could answer, Jiang Yao walked over and waved at Jiang Can in an exaggerated manner.
"Oh, little sister! So you're here too!"
Jiang Can sighed and looked away.
Someone nearby whispered, "Heh, those two sisters are something else. I wonder what tricks they used to seduce the two young masters of the Huo family!"
"But whether she can marry into the Huo family is another matter."
"The First Madam's attitude towards that Miss Jiang was unusual just now, but it was because of the Third Young Master... Now that she knows about her relationship with this Miss Jiang, she probably won't think much of her anymore, right?"
Jiang Can's heart tightened, and she was about to pull her hand away from Wang Meiyun's when Wang Meiyun pulled it even tighter.
Wang Meiyun looked at her, smiled gently, and her eyes showed the same affection as always.
“In situations like this, there are always a lot of gossipers,” Wang Meiyun said in a low voice. “The more people talk like this, the more you mustn’t let go of me! Otherwise, some petty people might really think they’ve succeeded.”
"Aunt Yun..." A warm feeling welled up in Jiang Can's heart.
"It's alright!" Wang Meiyun patted the back of her hand. "I'm here for you."
Jiang Can nodded and smiled, regaining her composure.
However, Wang Meiyun...
"Oh my, it's Miss Jiang Yao!"
Jiang Can was taken aback. She saw Wang Meiyun's expression change instantly, her movements and expressions becoming extremely exaggerated. She opened her bright red lips and smiled like a flower, then rushed towards Jiang Yao with boundless enthusiasm!
Jiang Can was speechless; the scene was somewhat amusing.
Jiang Yao was also startled, and was caught off guard by Wang Meiyun's hug, leaving her momentarily stunned.
"Welcome, welcome! Hehe..." Wang Meiyun's laughter was deafening. "Who did Miss Jiang Yao come with?"
"I……"
"Oh dear, could it be Huo Zhiyan?" Wang Meiyun deliberately dragged out her words. "I just saw Zhiyan! That kid, he was hugging a female celebrity. I thought our Huo family was going to have another daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Yao's face instantly turned ashen, her fingers tightened, and she gripped the wine glass in her hand.
"Oh, Miss Jiang Yao, I've always thought you and Huo Zhiyan are a perfect match!" Wang Meiyun sneered. "What's that word again...birds of a feather flock together? Or, 'colluding in evil'?"
Jiang Yao glared at her with wide eyes.
"Hey, that's basically the gist of it!"
Wang Meiyun ignored her reaction.
"Miss Jiang Yao, please don't take offense at my word choice sometimes! Who told me to be a 'nouveau riche'! I've only been focused on making money and haven't had a proper education!"
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes repeatedly, but couldn't utter a single retort.
"Hey, you look great in this outfit today," Wang Meiyun said, looking her up and down. "What's that word again... vixen? Or... slut?"
"you!"
Jiang Yao was furious and raised her hand to throw champagne at her.
But Wang Meiyun beat her to it, splashing a glass of iced wine directly onto her face!
An uproar erupted around them.
But everyone was just watching the show; no one would be foolish enough to offend Madam Huo for Jiang Yao's sake.
Moreover, Jiang Yao brought this upon herself.
"Miss Jiang seems quite angry," Wang Meiyun said coldly, looking down at her. "Perfect, this glass of chilled wine will help you cool down!"
Jiang Yao screamed and wiped her face; her makeup was ruined.
Still unwilling to give up, she grabbed the cake next to her, but before she could throw it away, she was stopped by the security guards who arrived just in time.
Wang Meiyun slowly walked up to her, her smile vanished, and her gaze turned fierce.
"If you ever have nothing better to do than gossip behind my back again, and I hear you, it won't be as simple as just calming down!"
I'll rip your tongue out too!
...
Wang Meiyun took Jiang Can to the lounge to touch up her makeup.
"I've wanted to teach this woman a lesson for a long time!" Wang Meiyun applied bright red lipstick again, making her look even more radiant.
"How could Huo Zhiyan choose such a disgusting person? He's constantly lowering my expectations for the Huo family's members!"
"You know, Jiang Yao, since Huo Zhiyan has taken a liking to her, she should just stay quietly in Yan Garden! She has to come out and get in my way..."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Can, then suddenly remembered something, "Um, Can Can, you...you don't mind, do you?"
Jiang Can paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Of course not!"
"I was overthinking it," Wang Meiyun said with a smile. "I know you're a sentimental person, so I was worried that you might soften your heart after being so rude to Jiang Yao just now."
