Xiao Yinlan had been worried about An Yunya for the past few days, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Little did she know that it was all a carefully designed scam by the father and daughter!
And she was just a pawn in their game!
"You bastard, An Zheng! You schemed against Jiang Tingzhou, and you even schemed against me!"
Xiao Yinlan wanted to continue hitting An Zheng, but the man held her hand tightly.
She struggled for a moment, then An Zheng shouted, "That's enough!"
"you……"
"Don't you know what's going on with the company? You don't even go to work. Look at what you wear and use every day. Every time you go out, those women fawn over you. If the company has problems, will you still have all of this?"
An Zheng reprimanded him sternly, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Xiao Yinlan was stunned for several seconds. "But you can't just leave me without telling me about something this big!"
"If I told you, would you still be able to cry in front of Jiang Tingzhou just now?"
An Zheng asked her directly.
Before marrying An Zheng, Xiao Yinlan was a singer. Although she had made cameo appearances in a few movies, her total screen time was less than twenty minutes, and she was always playing herself.
Strictly speaking, she can't act.
Xiao Yinlan's momentum weakened further. "But does our daughter really have to go through this? Isn't there any other way? Our daughter suffered so much from illness when she was little, and she's been living in fear all these years. It's only been a decade or so since she's been diagnosed with a relapse and is confirmed to be healthy. Now she has to torture herself like this for the sake of the company..."
An Yunya touched her face with her right hand and looked out the window. "If doing this will make Jiang Tingzhou marry me, then it's worth it."
Xiao Yinlan was furious. "Daughter, are you confused? Can't you see that Jiang Tingzhou is a cold and ruthless person? You've done all this, and he hasn't said a word. Why does it have to be him?"
"That's precisely why he's a good man."
"..."
“Because he’s already married, it’s good that he’s a responsible husband. If I marry him, I can not only help my dad’s company, but I can also marry a good husband. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?” An Yunya gripped the blanket tightly. “How could I have been so stupid when I was little, thinking that Jiang Tingzhou would only become a lawyer in the future?”
If An Yunya hadn't thought back then that Jiang Tingzhou didn't want to inherit the company and only wanted to be a lawyer, she wouldn't have distanced herself from him.
An Zheng looked at his wife, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Does Ling Ya know about Jiang Tingzhou's marriage?"
“This…I haven’t heard of it.” Xiao Yinlan shook her head.
“That’s perfect. See if there’s a suitable opportunity lately to gather all the prominent ladies together and tell Ling Ya about Jiang Tingzhou’s marriage, so she can put in charge of him.” An Zheng looked at Xiao Yinlan. “You don’t need me to tell you what to do, do you?”
Xiao Yinlan understood her husband's meaning and nodded repeatedly, "I know, Mrs. He has a charity gala this weekend. Everyone attends these kinds of charitable events. I was worried that our daughter wouldn't want to go, but I'll go instead..."
"Can."
An Zheng agreed.
-
Xiao Yinlan said the charity gala was this Sunday at 7 p.m.
The He family business is very large, and Mrs. He's father holds absolute power in Beicheng. When her family holds events, people will always attend unless there are special circumstances.
Lingya dislikes joining in these kinds of commotions, but she was forced to participate this time.
Mainly because of the Chiang family's status, if they didn't participate in charitable activities, others would gossip behind their backs.
Lingya arrived at the banquet hall ten minutes early.
As soon as she entered the banquet hall, two women dressed in glamorous haute couture at the entrance recognized her and quickly came over to greet her.
"Mrs. Jiang, it's been so many years since I last saw you. You haven't changed at all."
"How can you say that? Mrs. Jiang's skin looks even better than before."
The two women were singing in harmony.
Lingya could only give a casual reply, "I haven't had any bad things to do abroad these past few years, so my skin has naturally improved."
Given her status, no one would dare to mind what she says.
The two women chuckled obsequiously.
One of them said, "I thought you were just in high spirits because of some happy event. I heard that General Manager Jiang got married. When are you going to hold the banquet? We'll definitely give you a big red envelope."
Another person followed up with, "Which family's daughter is so lucky?"
Ling Ya sensed the hidden meaning in their words. She glanced at the two women and said, "My son is so lucky to have found me such a wonderful daughter-in-law."
