Chapter 10 Childhood Sweethearts for Many Years
Jiang Yimian arrived at Qingyue Villa by taxi, wearing a dress that Lu Wenchang had given her.
The white dress accentuated her cool and aloof demeanor, highlighting her long, fair swan neck and delicate collarbones. At 1.68 meters tall, she appeared even more slender and graceful in high heels.
Her hair was pulled up, with a few stray strands falling down, giving her a beautiful, pure, and cool look.
She stepped inside.
No one noticed her arrival. Lu Yiwan got to know business tycoons in Yanjing City by following Lu Wenchang.
She was dressed in a gorgeous gown, and her face beamed with a generous and poised smile.
Jiang Yimian went to the dessert section, got a plate, and started eating cake.
People passing by always chatter about gossip.
"I heard that President Bo will also be coming. It seems that his marriage to Lu Yiwan is really happening."
"They've been dating in the US for many years, so their return to China is definitely for the purpose of marriage. I estimate they'll announce their marriage today."
"Lu Yiwan really managed to snatch everything."
"Who can argue with that? The marriage was never going to happen to her in the first place."
“Your family just returned from abroad, so naturally they wouldn’t know what happened seven or eight years ago.”
“Lu Yiwan used to be the daughter of a nanny, and the one who was originally engaged to President Bo was Lu Yimian.”
"Huh? No way, where's Lu Yimian? I've never seen her before?"
"I haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know where she went, but I heard she's still studying and doing postgraduate studies."
"How could Lu Yimian possibly tolerate this?"
"Her mother died, her maternal grandfather died, and she was not favored by her father. What could she do? It was better than begging on the streets."
Jiang Yimian ate the cake bite by bite with her back to the two people. She choked a little, so she picked up her juice and took a sip. The cake that had been stuck in her chest went down, and she picked up a new mousse cake.
A hand reached out and snatched the plate from her hand.
Jiang Yimian's calm face suddenly furrowed.
"You're just going to put up with this? Aren't you going to say anything in protest?"
Jiang Yimian straightened up, picked up a new plate, and began to choose new flavors: "They're right, why should I argue with them?"
Lin Zhiren's expression was very unpleasant. He grabbed her wrist and said, "If you act like this, anyone can step on you."
Jiang Yimian frowned, pulling her hand back with extreme disgust. "Yes, even you, who used to fawn over me, now want to humiliate me."
"Don't you just want to see people fall hard from high places? You've already seen that, and you want more? Well, just you wait, it'll happen soon."
Her pure and pretty face uttered such barbed words, making people grit their teeth in hatred.
Lin Zhiren gave a mocking smile: "Your backer, Bo Jinzhou, is back. Do you think you can go back to what you were before?"
"Stop dreaming. You are out of favor, powerless and without influence. Bo Jinzhou will not continue to protect you. He will marry Lu Yiwan. Stop being delusional."
Jiang Yimian stuffed a macaron into her mouth, as if afraid it would be gone if she waited too long.
He mumbled, "Oh."
Lin Zhiren: "He likes Lu Yiwan, otherwise he wouldn't have gone abroad to study with her."
"I know."
Lin Zhiren gritted his teeth, "You still like him, right?"
"You'd better hide. If Lu Yiwan finds out, you're dead."
Jiang Yimian nudged him with her elbow: "Sorry, you're blocking my way."
Jiang Yimian picked up the last bite of blueberry cake and put it on her plate, glancing around before quickly moving.
He choked and drank juice, acting like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Lin Zhiren's bloodshot eyes held a sense of unfamiliarity, as if he did not recognize the woman in front of him.
Jiang Yimian is the only princess of the Jiang family and the most dazzling pearl in Yanjing City.
She was the center of attention from a young age, surrounded by a group of followers who all wanted to curry favor with her. She was very loyal and kind to everyone. Growing up watching TV dramas with her grandparents, she was deeply influenced by them and believed that everyone should be a friend, that friends should go to great lengths for each other, and that good sisters should share happiness and joy.
He uses the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. He's never been like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world, only knowing how to eat and ignoring everything else.
Jiang Yimian saw a group of people sitting down on a sofa not far away. She took another sip of juice, and sure enough, someone saw her over there.
"Isn't that Jiang Yimian? How come the former young lady is cheating on me?"
Jiang Yimian put down the plate, and someone across from her waved to her. She walked over.
Lin Zhiren reached out and grabbed her. "Beg me, and I'll help you out of this predicament."
Jiang Yimian: "Please, Mom."
She shoved him away.
Lu Yiwan was also there, wearing a gown designed by a master designer. She came over affectionately and took her arm, saying, "Mianmian, why aren't you playing with everyone? If you like cake, I'll have someone bring it over for you."
Jiang Yimian moved away from her, saying, "No need, what you sent will affect my appetite."
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately stood up for her.
"Jiang Yimian, do you still think you're some kind of young lady? What's with all the arrogance? Believe me or not, Yiwan can kick you out with just one word."
The speaker was Li Shasha, Lu Yiwan's good friend and also a former friend of Jiang Yimian.
Jiang Yimian had genuinely cared for her, but when Su Hui rose to power and Lu Yiwan became a young lady of the Lu family, she began to turn against them.
He's done plenty of things like kicking someone when they're down, mocking them, and ridiculing them.
Jiang Yimian was about to retort when she heard a commotion, so she shut her mouth and remained quiet.
Li Shasha thought she had intimidated her, and with a smug look on her face, she raised her chin and gestured at her, "You like cake so much, you must know which one tastes better, pick one for all of us."
Lu Yiwan: "Sasha, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
One of the young masters chuckled and said, "Yi Wan, you're just too kind-hearted. If it were me, I would definitely make her kneel down and polish my shoes. I would never let her live so comfortably."
Jiang Yimian agreed, which greatly excited the group of young masters and ladies.
The once pampered young lady, who could have anything she wanted, had her wings clipped and had to bow down to those who had once fawned over her. It was incredibly satisfying.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.
Jiang Yimian brought over the selected cakes and placed them one by one in front of them.
With downcast eyes and obedient manner, she seemed easy to control.
When Bo Jinzhou arrived in the hall, many people gathered around him. Bo Jinzhou seemed somewhat perfunctory, which everyone could tell.
But who can blame him? He is Bo Jinzhou, the heir of the Bo family. Although he has been abroad for many years and the Bo family is managed by his uncle, he still holds 20% of the shares in the Bo family.
Bo Jinzhou glanced around and spotted Jiang Yimian in a corner.
The laughing faces of the crowd, and her obsequious manner.
Bo Jinzhou gripped his wine glass so tightly he almost crushed it; everyone was very good at reading his expressions.
Seeing that he looked unwell, she dared not speak further and retreated.
Bo Jinzhou, exuding a cold aura, strode over.
Someone saw it and was extremely excited.
"It's President Bo, President Bo Yiwan is here to see you."
Lu Yiwan stood up happily, her cheeks flushed, looking shy and bashful.
"So he saw his fiancée."
"The news of the wedding will be out soon."
"They were childhood sweethearts for many years and spent time together abroad, so it's normal for them to get together."
"Congratulations in advance, Mr. Lu. Today is a double celebration."
Lu Wenchang had drunk some wine and was smiling slightly, his eyes full of joy.
