Chapter 380 My Uncle Has Always Missed You
The next day.
Although there was a disturbance at the press conference, it ended successfully in the end, and Jiang Yao and Li Beiting's new products were recognized.
Because of their outstanding performance, they were invited to attend a banquet for outstanding people.
This kind of occasion is actually a gathering of elites from all walks of life to communicate, so they don’t have to go.
But since it was their first event, the two of them discussed it and decided to go together.
That afternoon, Jiang Yao wore a silver-blue satin fishtail dress. The smooth cut outlined her elegant curves, and she wore a sea-blue gem necklace around her neck, emitting a sparkling glow.
She walked into the venue holding Li Beiting's arm. The man was wearing a velvet suit of the same color and a watch of the same color on his wrist. He had an outstanding temperament.
When the two of them appeared, they attracted the attention of a group of people.
Many people came up to say hello, after all, this was the peak of their popularity.
Jiang Yao has long been accustomed to such occasions and responds to them one by one.
Seeing that someone wanted to discuss cooperation with Li Beiting, she found an excuse to separate from him and went to the side to get a glass of champagne.
She leaned against the table and took two sips when she suddenly saw a figure not far away through the glass in her hand.
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
In the crowd, the woman with her hair tied up and wearing a haute couture dress who was spoken to by several people, wasn't she Xu Yueyao?
She actually showed up here openly.
Jiang Yao was just wondering what identity she was presenting when he overheard a conversation between several people nearby. "This Miss Xu is truly outstanding! She's already a well-known female entrepreneur at such a young age, and she comes from a very good family. I really envy her!"
"I heard that she seemed to have experienced the lowest point in her life before, but later reached the peak of her life through her own efforts!"
"The fact that a young lady with such a good family background has made it this far on her own is enough to show her ability."
Jiang Yao was quite surprised to hear this.
It turns out that she has become famous?
As a result, at this moment, Xu Yueyao seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned her head and looked at her.
When their eyes met, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She even raised the champagne in her hand towards her, looking very confident.
"Yaoyao, who are you greeting?" the outstanding young man next to her asked curiously.
Xu Yueyao smiled at the young man and said, "I ran into a friend and wanted to go over and say hello. Sorry to excuse me now."
After she said that, she walked towards Jiang Yao in her high heels with elegant steps.
"Long time no see, Miss Jiang."
Her attitude was polite, as if she was not the one who tried to kidnap Jiang Yao abroad a few months ago.
"Miss Xu, you are really forgetful. Didn't we just meet abroad three months ago?" Jiang Yao reminded with a sneer.
"Really?" Xu Yueyao blinked innocently. "Miss Jiang, did you recognize the wrong person? I have been staying in China for the past six months and have never been abroad."
She clearly has no intention of acknowledging what is happening abroad.
But it was also true that the kidnapping took place in a secret place with no surveillance around. In the end, she was successfully rescued and no clues were left behind.
Without evidence, there would be no point even if she called the police now.
"Ms. Jiang, I actually want to thank you! It's you who taught me to reflect on myself and to turn over a new leaf. I will always remember everything you've done for me."
Xu Yueyao wore a hypocritical mask on her face, "So if there's a chance, I will definitely repay you well!"
She specifically emphasized the four words "repay well", and only Jiang Yao could see the ruthlessness deep in her heart, like a poisonous snake.
"You are welcome."
Since she loved performing so much, Jiang Yao also cooperated: "I am a kind person. If there is a next chance, I will still help you and let you continue to go in and reform well."
The smile on Xu Yueyao's lips finally faded.
The time she spent in prison was the most difficult and painful time in her life.
But this bitch deliberately poked her scar.
She tightly gripped the wine glass, suppressing the hatred in her heart, and forced a meaningful smile on her face again, "Actually, we can be a pair of good sisters, you know? My uncle has missed you all these years, and he really wants to see you."
When Huo Yishen was mentioned, Jiang Yao's eyelids twitched.
She thought of the connection between her parents and the Huo family. Her eyes were dark and her tone was indifferent: "What does that have to do with me? We are no longer relatives. There is no need for us to meet."
"If my uncle heard this, he would definitely be very sad. He obviously cares about you so much..." Xu Yueyao's words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and then she changed the subject again, "But it doesn't matter. You will have a chance to meet soon."
Jiang Yao's heart suddenly tightened, and he had a premonition that things might not be simple.
At this moment, Li Beiting came over and put his arm around her waist, asking with concern, "Are you in trouble? Do you need my help to deal with it?"
"No, it's just a small matter." Jiang Yao smiled at him indifferently, "Did you finish the cooperation so quickly?"
"Cooperation is not as important as you."
When Li Beiting noticed the situation on her side, he immediately rushed over, fearing that she was being plotted against.
Xu Yueyao saw the intimacy between the two of them, oblivious to the others, and it made her even more jealous.
Why has it been so long, but this man still sticks with Jiang Yao?
Where does she get such great charm from?
But the person she wanted so determinedly at the beginning gave up on her so easily.
Thinking of this, she clenched the glass and couldn't help but start provoking again: "Boss Li, you are really affectionate and devoted to Miss Jiang!
I just wonder if she has several other fish out there, and you might just be one of them in the pond."
She knew that Qin Jinxiu, Lu Zhengze and others also liked Jiang Yao.
No man would allow his dignity to be challenged like this!
But Li Beiting remained unmoved. "So what? As long as she chooses me in the end, I will be willing."
His answer almost pissed Xu Yueyao off to death.
"Ms. Xu..." His eyes swept over calmly, "You're not young anymore. You haven't met a suitable partner since your last engagement was broken off! Do you need me to introduce you to two?"
But you have a criminal record and have been in prison. I'm afraid anyone with some status and reputation wouldn't choose you!"
He really has learned how to make people angry to death without any compensation.
Every word hurt Xu Yueyao's lungs.
The sound was quite loud, and many people around turned their attention to it.
"No way, Miss Xu has been in jail? Isn't she an outstanding young person? I never thought she would be a criminal."
"Ah, I remember now. Two years ago, she was suspected of human trafficking. The person she almost sold was her nominal sister. She was so vicious just because she felt that someone had taken her position."
"I remember now too. The one who was hurt seemed to be Miss Jiang Yao!"
Although a long time has passed, I can still remember it if I think about it carefully.
"How could he be released so quickly on charges of such a serious crime?"
Everyone looked at her with scrutiny and contempt.
