Chapter 389: Don’t underestimate
The beam of light followed Jiang Zhiyue all the way, illuminating her stunningly beautiful face and presenting an unparalleled visual feast.
Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with the starlight from the sky sprinkled on it, as if flowing with star-like bright light.
A crystal tear flickered in her bright pupil, and there was still a look of astonishment on her face that had not yet been restrained. The expression of shock and beauty intertwined made time freeze at this moment.
Countless cameras were pointed at her. A photographer happened to capture the moment when Jiang Zhiyue lowered her eyes. The tear slid down uncontrollably, shattered like a pearl, and slowly flowed down her fair and delicate cheek.
There was a slight "click" sound, and I don't know whose heart it fell on.
It was as if the pearl had completely shattered into countless tiny pieces, scattering on the cold marble floor.
The stage was dark except for the flashing of the flash lights. At that moment, several blazing eyes were fixed on the girl, and no one was willing to look away.
The daughter of the Sheng family was born a darling and was destined to live in the spotlight.
Jiang Zhiyue faced the gazes of the crowd and felt that she was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Among them, there were a few most special looks. She couldn't see their true appearance clearly, but she was very familiar with that feeling.
It was like a gaze as determined as that of a wild beast, like a fire that wanted to burn her to ashes, or like an invisible thread that quietly wrapped around her, intertwining with her breath, lingering and sad.
On the stage, Mr. Sheng waved to her. Jiang Wanrou, with tears in her eyes, called her name, "Zhiyue, come to your mother quickly."
The applause continued as the girl walked down the long winding crystal staircase, lifting her skirt and slowly walking down the steps.
Sheng Huaian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He followed her with his eyes, and his originally wild and unruly eyes had long since become extremely gentle and restrained.
A very warm smile spread across his face, and the man's applause was particularly enthusiastic, trying his best to overshadow everyone else's.
The girl on the platform is the bright moon that illuminates everyone's heart.
A barely perceptible surprise flashed across Xiao Jingrun's calm eyes, although this extremely faint emotion was not enough to cause more ripples in his heart.
But he looked at the girl and couldn't take his eyes off her for a long time.
In the darkness, he was finally able to take off the mask that had been on his face for so long and look at her with the most undisguised eyes.
Her tears, her astonishment, her smile, her joy, her sorrow.
All the lights in the room were focused on her. She was always dazzling, but never as scorching as this moment.
Xiao Jingrun's eyes were burned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that this was the first time Jiang Zhiyue smiled. Like him, she took off all disguises and revealed the purest expression.
She smiled happily.
.....
Jiang Zhiyue's smile is a unique landscape in the eyes of men.
When the most indifferent man looks at her, the corners of her lips will unconsciously twitch, raising an imperceptible arc.
The most dissolute man would feel an inexplicable excitement when looking at her, and he would not want to break this beautiful feeling of compassion.
Such a smile would be a disaster for Old Lady Sheng and Lin's mother.
They can't stop anything!
The guests were talking about it, "Jiang Wanrou's daughter is so pretty, I'm afraid the Sheng family's door will be trampled in the future."
"This temperament, this demeanor, wow, wow, wow, it's really great!"
"I don't know who the biological father of this child is. Jiang Wanrou has been living with her in Gu's house. Mr. Gu has a romantic personality. No way, no way..."
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Gu glanced over coldly and fell silent instantly.
The guests whispered, "Sheng Yao got a great deal in her marriage. She replaced Jiang Wanrou and married into the Lin family. I wonder if Mr. Lin regrets it now?"
"Let me tell you the truth. The second wife's family can never compare to the first wife's family. Just look at the comparison between the two brothers and sisters."
Old Mrs. Sheng was accompanied carefully by Lin's mother, who pushed her wheelchair closely. Even though she had excellent psychological quality, her expression suddenly changed when she heard the last sentence.
She looked at the girl holding Jiang Wanrou's arm, chatting gracefully with the guests who came forward to talk to her.
The crown on Jiang Zhiyue's head originated from the royal family of a certain overseas country. It is an antique crown specially used for the queen's coronation ceremony. It is inlaid with sixteen sapphires and an extremely rare red spinel.
The ruby in the middle seemed to be embellished between Jiang Zhiyue's eyebrows.
This is a treasure that has long surpassed the measurement of money. Even the experienced old lady Sheng could only get a glimpse of it in magazines.
Sheng Huaian gave the gift seemingly casually, but I'm afraid only Old Madam Sheng could understand his intention.
"Two young kids want to shake the foundation of the Sheng family?"
She suppressed her anger and held back her anger, "You really don't know your own limitations!"
........
The lights in the venue gradually lit up.
The circle of power and nobility has always adhered to the principle of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. In order to gain a sense of presence in front of Mr. Sheng, guests came one after another to show their goodwill to Jiang Wanrou.
Jiang Wanrou was a little overwhelmed by this sudden attention, and Jiang Zhiyue stepped forward at the right time and skillfully maneuvered among the crowd.
"Old man Sheng, your ancestors have really done good deeds for you. You must make good use of this blessing." At this moment, a powerful voice suddenly sounded.
It’s Mr. Chu.
Everyone in the Chu family has a heroic look and is strong and sturdy. Old Man Chu and Old Man Sheng are of similar age, but the former looks very majestic.
"What a lovely little girl." Old Master Chu strode over and fixed his eyes on Jiang Zhiyue.
The crown on her head was dazzling, and Jiang Zhiyue was not wearing any other jewelry, but she had an extraordinary temperament.
A loving smile appeared on Mr. Chu's face.
"So you are the little girl that Che'er has been obsessed with. He doesn't want to go abroad because of you, and he keeps begging his mother to come and propose marriage to you."
Jiang Zhiyue was stunned for a moment. Chu Junche was a big surprise in her life. She hoped that Chu Junche could escape the same tragic fate as her and change Chu Junyue's final evil ending.
Old Master Chu is well-known for his reputation. When he was young, he could carry a heavy machine gun and travel through mountains and rivers. Even when he is old, he can still climb mountains and cross rivers, and his momentum is as strong as ever.
He had a smile on his face and looked more amiable than Mr. Sheng, but he was, after all, a man who had fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses. The majesty of having experienced many vicissitudes of life was still hidden in his brows, and he was intimidating without even getting angry, and no one dared to underestimate him.
Jiang Zhiyue faced the pair of oppressive eyes without dodging. When Sheng Huaian secretly winked at her, she just called out softly, "Hello, Grandpa Chu."
