Chapter 61 Let Me See Who Can Stand on Your Side
When Jiang Yao saw Li Beiting, he was stunned for a moment and then greeted Li Beiting with a smile.
"What a coincidence, Senior! Did you receive an invitation too?"
“Well, Lu Xuan invited Liheng Group.”
Li Beiting gave a brief explanation.
Jiang Yao understood clearly.
After all, Li Beiting is the president of Liheng Group, so it is natural for him to be invited.
However, what she didn't know was that the invitation was originally given to Xie Hao. Since Li Heng's mysterious president never liked to appear in public, no one thought he would come.
Li Beiting took it from him himself.
As for the purpose...
“Ahem—”
Shu Ya, who was standing by, saw this and raised her eyebrows slightly. She said at the right moment, "I'm going to the dining area to eat something. You two can chat slowly."
She said and walked away.
Jiang Yao could see through her little thoughts, and with helplessness, he turned around and continued to greet Li Beiting.
"Senior, last time we bought that piece of land, is the development going smoothly?"
"Well, it went smoothly, thanks to your advice." Li Beiting mentioned the details.
Jiang Yao had a very pleasant conversation with him.
This scene fell into the eyes of Lu Xuan who was not far away, and hurt him deeply.
He clenched his fists tightly and was about to step forward, but Xu Yueyao beside him held his arm tightly.
"With so many guests here today, if you lose your temper and do anything out of line, my parents and uncle will never let you go."
She warned, her voice low.
Lu Xuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and he endured it again and again.
After today, when the marriage is concluded, he will be able to get help from the Xu and Huo families, allowing the Lu family to be officially stabilized.
By then, reputation and stock price can be restored.
So now he can't go over, and he can't let people laugh at him.
However, when Lu Group returns to its peak, perhaps he will be able to get Jiang Yao back to his side.
As long as she stayed by his side quietly and served him as before, he would not care about the past anymore.
Thinking of this, a deep look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly let out the depression in his heart.
Xu Yueyao saw every change in his expression, and her heart was corroded by a strong sense of unwillingness and jealousy.
The engagement party will begin soon.
The two stood on the stage arm in arm as a famous band played cello.
Jiang Yao stood in the audience, watching his former mother Cheng Peilan looking at Xu Yueyao with a face full of doting and blessings in her eyes, and his heart ached for some unknown reason.
Perhaps, once upon a time, she was also looked after, loved and tolerated by Cheng Peilan in this way, so the gap is so big now!
But what doesn't belong to her can't be forced.
Although she felt regretful about this, she was not jealous.
In fact, she had thought a lot before coming here today. Although she had made sufficient preparations, considering that she had indeed enjoyed the love of the Xu family for eighteen years, she would not have taken action if Xu Yueyao did not provoke her.
"...Thank you all for coming. Please enjoy your meals, drinks, and fun."
Soon, the host finished his words and the audience burst into applause again.
Next is time for free activities.
Jiang Yao walked to the rest area and picked up a glass of red wine. At this time, a white figure stood in front of her.
It was none other than Xu Yueyao, with a hint of strong malice in her eyes.
Then he raised his wine glass hypocritically.
"Sister, I'm surprised you came to my engagement party. Hey, why didn't you bring your boyfriend? So many men were willing to spend money and support you before, so why didn't any of them come to such an important occasion?"
She spoke with doubt, but her eyes were full of ridicule.
She knew that those prominent men might just play around with her in private, but how could they possibly accompany her to such a celebrity gathering with media reporters around!
Jiang Yao was so proud, but in the end he was just a plaything of the rich.
When Jiang Yao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm between his eyebrows, and slowly uttered a sentence.
"I'm not like you. I can't live without a man."
Xu Yueyao's face froze instantly, and then she sneered, "I guess no man is interested in you."
She then raised her hand and proudly showed off the diamond ring on her hand.
"Jiang Yao, did you see that? This ring was personally chosen for me by Axuan. It was designed by Italy's largest jewelry brand and is worth tens of millions!"
"And this necklace, earrings, and bracelet were all custom-made for me by my parents and uncle."
"You must be very jealous and upset now. They hate you as much as they love me."
Xu Yueyao raised her chin towards her with a proud look on her face.
"From now on, I will be my father's most valuable daughter!"
She then leaned forward and lowered her voice, "And you are the most humble, the lowest and most pitiful creature. No one will want you."
Jiang Yao is not a pushover after being humiliated and provoked again and again.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold. "You don't really think that a sinister and despicable woman who instigates others to commit crimes can become the pride of the Xu family, do you?"
Xu Yueyao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"
The next second, Jiang Yao raised his head, looked straight into her eyes, and spoke word by word.
"Do you think you could have concealed the fact that you paid Chen Jiao to frame me, and then instigated her to hit me with a motorcycle?"
Xu Yueyao was suddenly startled, then quickly looked around. After seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she lowered her voice and spoke.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Yao's eyes were as cold as icy blades.
"After Chen Jiao was arrested, she couldn't stand the police interrogation and confessed everything. From the beginning to the end, it was you who gave her the idea.
It won't be long before the police summon you for questioning. Are you mentally prepared?"
It was just a little lesson she taught her.
If she had known when to quit, the matter would have ended there.
But obviously, Xu Yueyao wouldn't.
Xu Yueyao's face turned a little ugly when she heard that. That bitch who was more likely to cause trouble than to do anything good.
How dare he betray her.
Fortunately, the money transferred to Chen Jiao was not used from her own account.
As for instigating her to hit someone with her car, there is no evidence for this.
She just asked Chen Jiao to find a way to stop Jiang Yao from entering the laboratory, and did not ask her to hurt anyone. In any case, the crime could not be pinned on her.
Thinking of this, she calmed down.
When her gaze fell on Jiang Yao, a dark glint of poison flashed in her eyes, "Jiang Yao, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean, but I think you are deliberately trying to ruin my engagement today, right?"
"Okay, then let's see who will stand on your side later!"
Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
She reflexively wanted to take a step back, but before she could move, Xu Yueyao twisted her hand and poured all the red wine on herself.
Then, she screamed and took a step back, which immediately attracted the attention of many people around her.
Xu Yueyao's eyes were red and she looked at Jiang Yao opposite her with a face full of grievance.
"Sister, I know that the incident of you being abducted into the mountains by human traffickers and raped has always been a hurdle in your heart. I understand your sadness and pain, but this really has nothing to do with me or the Xu family!
You can't take revenge on me and deliberately ruin my engagement party!"
