"Of course!" Jiang Yao agreed without hesitation.
Bringing a best friend is no big deal, especially since this princess's best friend must be extremely wealthy and powerful. I wonder which of the four great families in the capital she belongs to...
If you serve them well, you'll have more help and more options!
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes, moved closer to Huo Zhixin, and acted affectionately towards her.
"Miss Huo, where is your friend now? If it's inconvenient for her, I'll send someone to pick her up immediately! Don't worry, leave this to me, I'll definitely bring that young lady here safely!"
“No need for that.” Huo Zhixin smiled faintly. “My friend came with me and is upstairs now. Heh, this banquet is hosted by the Jiang family after all, so if I want to bring people, I naturally need to get the host’s permission!”
"Miss Huo, you're too kind!" Jiang Yao smiled, then turned and instructed several waiters, "Follow Miss Huo's instructions, and have Miss Huo's friends sit at the head table later!"
“Miss Jiang,” Huo Zhixin raised an eyebrow, “you and your parents…aren’t you sitting at the head table? Is that appropriate?”
“Oh, what’s inappropriate about it!” Yang Juan interjected. “We are extremely honored to have Miss Huo and your friend here tonight, and the hotel is also honored!”
She used every idiom she could muster in her life at that moment.
"Miss Huo, don't leave your friend alone in the room, please have her come over!"
"Alright. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Huo Zhixin turned around and made a phone call.
Before long, the banquet hall doors reopened, and everyone turned their attention to see what Huo family princess's best friend looked like.
Jiang Yao also craned her neck to look curiously.
However, to everyone's surprise, the person who gracefully walked into the banquet hall was...
Jiang Can?!
Jiang Yao's mind went blank for a moment, as if she had been hit on the head by something.
Jiang Mingyuan and Yang Juan's expressions changed instantly, and the group stared blankly at Jiang Can, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
The best friend Huo Zhixin was talking about... how could it be her!
At this moment, the guests began to whisper among themselves, looking at Jiang Can with strange eyes.
But it must be said that Jiang Can, who was remodeled by Huo Zhixin, is indeed dazzlingly beautiful.
She looked ethereal in a light beige starry dress, her long hair cascading down to her waist, and the tourmaline gemstone around her neck complemented her fair skin perfectly.
Standing hand in hand with Huo Zhixin, the two looked like sisters who had stepped out of a fairyland, drawing admiration from everyone present.
"This is my good friend," Huo Zhixin smiled. "Miss Jiang, you should be familiar with her, right?"
Jiang Yao's face turned pale, her fists clenched, and her lips trembled so much that she couldn't utter a single word.
"Can...Cancan?" Jiang Mingyuan's voice trembled, "You and Miss Huo...you..."
"Uncle Jiang, we've always been good friends!" Huo Zhixin smiled, then feigned displeasure as she looked at Jiang Can, "What, have you never mentioned me to your family? You're really not loyal!"
Jiang Can kept looking at her, but smiled without saying a word.
"Impossible!" Jiang Yao glared at Jiang Can. "What tricks are you playing? How could someone like you be friends with Miss Huo! Besides, didn't you just..."
"Already what?" Jiang Mingyuan frowned.
Jiang Yao stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, her expression becoming even more unpleasant.
"Sister, why are you panicking?" Jiang Can smiled faintly, but two sharp glints flashed in her eyes. "You seem surprised to see me here?"
Jiang Yao glared at her, biting her lip tightly.
"I did get led astray by my sister and ended up in the basement for a while," Jiang Can sneered. "But she didn't leave me too lonely; she even brought over a few rats. I suppose those are the pets she likes to keep!"
"you……"
"Jiang Can, what did you say?" Jiang Mingyuan's eyes darkened as he looked at Jiang Yao. "You're the one who took Can Can to the basement and let rats in there?!"
Jiang Yao trembled violently, looking at her father in fear.
"You're asking for it!" Jiang Mingyuan shouted angrily.
He didn't have time to figure out how Jiang Can and Huo Zhixin met. All he knew was that the girl who was now holding hands with Huo Zhixin so intimately was Jiang Can!
Jiang Mingyuan isn't senile; of course he knows which way the wind should blow!
At the banquet, the guests looked at each other, their faces showing anticipation for a good show.
"Jiang Yao, stop embarrassing me here!" Jiang Mingyuan was mortified. "Go home right now! I don't want to see you!"
"dad……"
"roll!"
Jiang Yao's face turned a deep purplish-red, tears welling up in her eyes. She glared angrily at Jiang Can, then turned and ran frantically out of the banquet hall.
Yang Juan wanted to advise her but didn't dare, so she could only watch helplessly as her daughter suffered injustice, and had to force a smile.
Jiang Mingyuan finally caught his breath, then changed his expression and looked at Huo Zhixin with a smile.
"Miss Huo, please rest assured, I will definitely discipline Jiang Yao strictly from now on! What happened today was probably a misunderstanding, I..."
"Uncle Jiang," Huo Zhixin said with a cold laugh, "I can't interfere in your family affairs, but I'll definitely go to great lengths to help my friends!"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Mingyuan was sweating profusely.
Huo Zhixin glanced at him and pulled Jiang Can to sit in the main seat.
The banquet continued, but several pairs of eyes were fixed on them from a short distance away.
"President Su, how come Jiang Can and Miss Huo are best friends?"
"Yes, there...could there really be some hidden story behind this?"
A dark glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Jiang Can is Gu Mang's wife, but she's on good terms with Huo Zhixin...
Ha, what else can it prove besides that Gu Mang is Huo Zhixing?
