Chapter 143 How can I not compare to her?
Even though Jiang Wanning had prepared herself mentally for this, she was still startled by the huge crowd in the living room of the Xie family's old house.
As soon as everyone in the room saw them come in, the atmosphere of laughter and conversation instantly became quiet.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were in unison cast on the two of them.
The look in his eyes was full of various emotions, and it was obvious that he didn't take a "young-haired girl" like her seriously.
The old man of the Xie family, as Jiang Wanning expected, did not show up.
She glanced around and saw mostly elders older than her, but no one who looked like Xie Yanchuan's parents.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanning felt something strange in her heart, but before she could react, a gentle and elegant male voice suddenly rang out from the crowd opposite: "Oh, it's Yan Chuan who's back with Zhen Yue."
Since Xie Yanchuan was going to bring Jiang Wanning back today, he naturally greeted these people in advance.
Everyone present was a smart person and it was impossible for them not to see the difference between Jiang Wanning and Meng Zhenyue.
But I still have to say this, just to save the two young people's face.
Xie Yanchuan lagged behind Jiang Wanning half a step as he walked into the house.
Hearing this voice, his originally careless eyes instantly turned cold.
The man raised his eyes and looked over, and met the gentle and elegant middle-aged male voice. It was his uncle Xie Zhiwen.
Previously, when Xie Yanchuan was competing for the position of heir to the Xie family, the competition between him and this person was the most intense.
He looks gentle and refined, but secretly he is vicious and cunning, a characteristic of the Xie family.
"Uncle..."
Xie Yanchuan's voice was deep, and a dangerous warning flashed in his eyes.
But before he could say anything, Jiang Wanning, who was next to him, had already secretly squeezed his hand in the dark.
Jiang Wanning raised her eyes and gave Xie Yanchuan a soothing look without any expression.
At the same time, she took half a step forward gracefully.
She was alone, facing these many bigwigs in the Beijing government, but her face did not show any fear: "My elders, you have recognized the wrong person."
"I'm not Meng Zhenyue."
She was wearing a flowing red dress, which matched the faint smile on her red lips. "My name is Jiang Wanning, and my father's name is Jiang Yue, the founder of the Jiang Group."
"As for why Meng Zhenyue and I have such a similar face, I think the elders present here must know it better than I do."
Jiang Wanning's words were not serious at all, and even had a gentle and soft tone, but the originally "quiet" living room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
In the deathly silence, everyone looked at her and almost gasped inwardly at the same time.
The name Jiang Wanning might not be well-known enough, but Jiang Yue, the helmsman of a wealthy family who has risen rapidly in Beijing in recent years, is enough to intimidate everyone present.
No matter how low-key Jiang Yue has been over the years, since he is in this top circle, the people in front of him will inevitably have to deal with him several times.
"Haha, so she's the daughter of the Jiang family..."
The stalemate lasted for a long time, and finally, someone sighed in the corner of the living room.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable brilliance in the expression on Xie Zhiwen's face.
At this moment, the middle-aged man hated himself for speaking too quickly. The originally elegant expression on his face also became friendly at this moment: "I was wondering why this little girl looks a bit like Mr. Jiang."
After all, Xie Zhiwen works in finance, and he currently has several projects in Beijing, all of which are waiting to rely on the Jiang family.
Seeing that Xie Zhiwen, who had fought with Xie Yanchuan the most fiercely before, had changed his attitude, the shrewd people in the Xie family did not understand the seriousness of the matter, and they all followed suit and changed their expressions.
Uncle Xie: "Xiao Jiang, I haven't seen your father for a while. How is he doing lately?"
"My father recently went to a meeting at his new overseas company. He should be back after this busy period."
Xie's Third Aunt: "Hey, Xiao Jiang, you're so outstanding, how did you fall for our boy Yan Chuan?"
"Yanchuan and I were college classmates. We liked each other when we were in school."
"So that's how it is. It seems that Xiao Jiang and Yan Chuan are really a perfect match." This is the second aunt of the Xie family.
These people from the Xie family, no matter how much they had conflicts with Xie Yanchuan before, would not miss any opportunity to win over the "rich man".
After all, no one would go against the money in their hands, and the originally quiet atmosphere in the Xie family's living room became lively.
Seeing that Jiang Wanning easily resolved the previous embarrassment with just a few words, she became the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
In a corner where no one paid attention, there was a girl who stood up, but was pulled out of the Xie family's mansion.
"Aunt! I don't understand. Why did my uncles, aunts, and second and third aunts become like this? Didn't we agree today that you would help me teach Jiang Wanning a lesson?!"
In the garden outside the main courtyard, Meng Zhenyue was extremely angry, and her red eyes turned tearful.
Today she wore a black baseball cap and a mask, hiding her face that looked similar to Jiang Wanning.
Originally, when Meng Zhenyue heard that Xie Yanchuan was going to bring Jiang Wanning back, she came here with the intention of watching the latter make a fool of himself.
After all, she was considered a half-adopted daughter by Mr. Xie. She had been with the old man since she was a child and grew up in the Xie family mansion. She was extremely familiar with all the elders of the Xie family.
It was also clear that just before Jiang Wanning entered the Xie family mansion, these elders had vowed to her that they would help her, the "legitimate fiancée", to vent her anger.
However, it had only been a short time since Jiang Wanning said a few words, and the group of people from the Xie family had already changed their "faces". How could Meng Zhenyue accept this?
Meng Zhenyue wanted to explode on the spot, but her aunt Xie Caiwen quickly pulled her out.
"Zhenyue, why can't you think clearly? What good will it do you to offend Yanchuan in that situation just now?"
"Isn't it just a marriage alliance? There's no evidence to support it, it's just a casual remark from the old man. A girl as outstanding as you, if you leave Yan Chuan, where can you find a better man?"
Xie Caiwen is a relatively open-minded person in the entire Xie family. Knowing that she cannot compete with that group of people, she has simply made her position clear in recent years and strived to be the image of a peacemaker and good sister.
It's a pity that Meng Zhenyue is so angry right now that she won't listen to any advice: "Isn't Jiang Wanning just relying on her good family background? I can't compare to her in that way, so why are you all trying to fawn over her like this!?"
