Chapter 274 Attending the Banquet
Once this news was released on the official website of Jiangjia Business, it quickly caused an uproar on the Internet.
[Oh my, I'm not seeing things, am I? Whose funeral? Jiang Wenzhou, the eldest son of the Jiang family? Is this the Jiang Wenzhou I know?]
Is Jiang Wenzhou really dead? Impossible? Could this be fake news from the Jiang family, a deception? After all, Xie Yanchuan has "resurrected from the dead"!
[I understand your feelings, but this is an official announcement, black text on a white background, it couldn't be more true!]
"They can't possibly be kidding about their family's lives, right? If that's the case, this is a really big deal! Who is worthy of the Jiang family doing this?"
【……】
[If that's the case, Jiang Wenzhou and Xie Yanchuan were together at the time, but only one of them survived. Doesn't this mean that the former most likely sacrificed his life to save the latter?]
[I never thought my brother-in-law was so loyal and righteous. He was handsome and rich. I fell head over heels in love with him. How come he's already dead? Wow...]
[This wave of events happened to come at a bad time for me...]
【……】
There are a lot of online comments, and after quickly reading them, people are soon attracted to other directions.
After Jiang Wanning flipped through the content one by one, she was met with her eldest brother's arrogant expression and couldn't help but smack her tongue: "Did you really kill yourself like this?"
God knows, just a while ago, when she saw this trending search online, the shock in her heart was no less than those netizens.
So I rushed to the company as soon as possible, and unexpectedly saw the latter drinking tea leisurely in a hidden office.
"Sister, you came at the perfect time. Try the Mingqian Longjing tea that Qingyan had someone buy. It tastes really good."
"Jiang Wenzhou, you're amazing. You and my second brother came up with this plan and kept it completely secret from me, right?"
Seeing how he asked for a beating, Jiang Wanning was really furious.
It was only after being "punished" by his own sister that Jiang Wenzhou calmed down and got back to the point.
"It happened suddenly. We really didn't hide this from you on purpose."
Jiang Wanning then realized that the news of Xie Yanchuan's succession to the throne after his "resurrection" was not part of their plan, but was spread accidentally and spread like wildfire.
"According to our original plan, after Xie Yanchuan returned to take over the position of Patriarch, we would contact the media to publicize this matter. It just so happens that it's almost time for us to close the net."
"But I didn't expect that someone would spread it out ahead of time."
"Since Xie Yanchuan and I were together at the time, and he was fine, it's natural that someone would think of me, who was also dead."
When Jiang Wenzhou said this, his eyes were dark and some dangerous emotions flashed across his face.
"That's why Qing Yan and I urgently resorted to this desperate measure. Although it was self-destructive, it did help to stabilize the minds of those fickle people in the company."
"But your funeral is scheduled a little too close. My second brother and I can't really hold a funeral for you, right?"
Jiang Wanning pointed out the funeral time announced on the Jiang family’s official website and felt a headache.
Jiang Wenzhou's move is too risky. Is there really no other expedient solution?
But what responded to Jiang Wanning was the latter's chuckle.
"Who said we're going to do it for real?"
Jiang Wenzhou's slender knuckles gently stroked the rim of the water glass in front of him. His fox-like eyes slightly raised at this moment, revealing a shrewd and calculating light for a moment.
"But a week is enough time for us to completely uncover the person behind this."
…
After Jiang Wanning finished her secret conversation with her elder brother, time quickly came to the day when she, Xie Yanchuan and Chen Jiu had agreed to attend the Chen family banquet.
Unlike the Jiang and Xie families who have gained power in recent years, the Chen family, a century-old clan, lives a much more low-key life in Beijing.
Because Xie Yanchuan had some urgent work to deal with and would arrive a little later, Jiang Wanning went there before him and found the address given by Chen Jiu.
It's still a winding alley, but the scenery at the end is a completely different world.
It was dark at night, and outside the carved iron gate of the Chen family's old house was a lot of expensive cars.
The light from the crystal chandelier in the house shines through the stained glass, casting colorful light and shadows on the stone road in front of the door, like a flowing oil painting.
Clearly low-key, yet extremely luxurious.
Jiang Wanning lowered her eyes.
The address Chen Jiu gave was not too far from where she lives now.
In addition, because of her current special status, Jiang Wanning really didn't want too many people to know that she attended such an occasion, so she took a taxi here alone at night.
Jiang Wanning walked into the banquet hall according to the invitation text message sent by Chen Jiu.
In order to avoid attracting attention, she only wore a simple silver sequined halter dress as a dress today.
She was not wearing any accessories, but her graceful figure attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the venue.
"Ma'am, are you alone?"
"Are you from the Chen family's side branch? Why have I never seen you before?"
As she was walking, a young man came up behind her.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Wanning glanced at the other person and saw that he was a very young man, probably in his early twenties, and very handsome.
As soon as the other party approached, many young girls in the banquet hall cast their eyes in the direction of the two of them. Jiang Wanning guessed that this person must be a very important figure among the younger generation of the Chen family.
Judging from his age, he should at least be a direct descendant.
However, Jiang Wanning did not want to cause any trouble on this trip and bring herself unnecessary trouble, so she wanted to use Chen Jiu's identity to fool the person, but she didn't expect that she had just opened her lips and had no time to make a sound.
Right behind the two of them, a distinctly shrill female voice came over: "Hey, when I saw it from a distance, I thought who it was?"
"When I got closer, I realized it was a stranger. He was dressed decently, but I had no idea where he came from."
He turned around following the obviously harsh sound.
Jiang Wanning saw a woman in a fiery red dress.
Judging from her appearance, the other person was about the same age as the young man in front of her, and her makeup was as delicate as a porcelain doll, but the contempt in her eyes was like a needle that pierced people.
"Don't be some random person trying to get into our Chen family? Don't you know your own worth?"
"Chen Weiwei!"
The young man standing next to Jiang Wanning showed dissatisfaction in his eyes and lowered his voice to scold the other party.
It was when she heard the man mention this name that Jiang Wanning suddenly remembered why she felt vaguely familiar with the man when she first saw him.
