At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Jiang Nian changed.
I can't figure out who she is.
He wanted to find out her identity, but dared not approach her rashly.
“Miss Jiang Nian, I apologize to you on behalf of my sister-in-law for her rude behavior just now.”
Song Sichen, tall and slender, looked at Jiang Nian and said, "Since you've come to celebrate the old man's birthday, why don't you wait until after the cake is cut before you leave, okay?"
Jiang Nian could tell that Song Sichen probably felt that she had wanted to leave earlier because she was angered by Madam Song's actions, which was why he apologized to her.
"that is!"
On the other side, Grandpa Song also held Jiang Nian's hand, "Nian Nian, you gave Grandpa such an expensive gift, so Grandpa has to choose a return gift for you. You can't leave now."
"Grandpa Song, I don't..."
Before Jiang Nian could finish speaking, Old Master Song gave her an expression that said he would be very sad if she rejected him.
He had no choice but to swallow his words again.
"Let the old man go back to his room and choose a return gift for you. I'll take you to get something to eat, okay?"
Song Sichen possessed a gentle demeanor and warm gaze. He lowered his head and spoke to Jiang Nian with a soft, gentle tone, asking for her opinion with phrases like "Is it okay?" or "Is it alright?"
It's hard to say no when someone so gentle and cultured is staring at you so intently.
Jiang Nian followed Song Sichen to the dining table, and the onlookers finally dispersed.
As the crowd dispersed, Chen Fulan and Jiang Ranran, under the scornful and disdainful gazes of the crowd, finally fled to a corner in a disheveled state.
The mother and daughter looked as if they had died once.
"Mom, we're really finished now! How could that old man you knocked down be Grandpa Song? How can I possibly marry into the Song family now?!"
Jiang Ranran's dream of marrying into a wealthy family has been completely shattered.
Who would want to be related to someone who broke their bones in an accident and then accused them of staging an accident, and have their daughter marry into their family as their granddaughter-in-law?
"It's all Mom's fault! Why didn't you take the person to the hospital immediately after you hit them? Why didn't you compensate them properly?"
"Just to avoid trouble, you've ruined your daughter's life. Jiang Nian has done all the good things and reaped all the favors!"
"Everyone thinks she's great now, but I'm just like my mom, only despised by everyone!"
"Let alone announcing my engagement to Brother Wenjing at this banquet, how could Old Master Song possibly allow me to marry into the Song family now..."
Jiang Ranran's eyes were swollen from crying.
It's too late to say anything now, and regret is useless.
She dressed up for the night, eagerly anticipating the announcement of her marriage into a wealthy family, only to have it all become a joke. Jiang Nian, on the other hand, was treated like a treasure by Old Master Song.
However, at that moment, a beautiful and elegant figure suddenly appeared in front of the mother and daughter.
Upon seeing who it was, Jiang Ranran's eyes widened: "...Miss Ji? What are you doing here?"
Ji Yuwei had been hiding behind the wall. Only after Jiang Nian left did she come out, but she went to find Jiang Ranran.
"Are you Jiang Nian's stepmother and stepsister?" Ji Yuwei looked them up and down.
Jiang Ranran was somewhat flattered to see the distinguished daughter of the Ji family find her.
Upon hearing Jiang Nian's name, a hint of hatred immediately flashed in his eyes.
She bit her lip: "Miss Ji, is there anything you need? If you want to ask me about Jiang Nian, I don't know anything about her. I'm not familiar with her!"
Ji Yuwei raised her chin slightly, catching the hatred in Ji Yuwei's eyes, and said lightly as if she didn't care, "Regarding tonight's matter, it seems that Old Master Song prefers Jiang Nian to Miss Jiang as his granddaughter-in-law."
These words struck a nerve with Jiang Ranran.
She took a deep breath: "Miss Ji, are you here to laugh at me?"
"No, I'm here to help you. I can give you an idea so you can still marry into the Song family."
Jiang Ranran was stunned, looking at Ji Yuwei: "...What idea?"
Ji Yuwei asked without any hesitation, "You must be dating Song Wenjing, the grandson of Old Master Song, right? Have you two already slept together?"
“You…” Jiang Ranran blushed, “Why are you asking this?”
Ji Yuwei said, "After what you and your daughter did, Old Master Song will definitely not let you into the Song family again. But what if you said you were pregnant with Song Wenjing's child?"
Jiang Ranran's eyes widened.
Chen Fulan also gasped.
"Miss Ji, what do you mean by this? Our Ranran is only seventeen years old, how can she fake a pregnancy?"
Ji Yuwei said, "There is only this one way right now. Only then will Grandpa Ji not force his grandson to break up with you and make you stay away from the Song family from now on."
"Then you can pretend to have an abortion. Maybe the Song family will feel even more guilty towards you and will compensate you."
“This…” Jiang Ranran opened her mouth, her eyes immediately darting around.
This is indeed the only way for her to avoid being kicked out of the Song family right now.
But……
Ji Yuwei didn't care how the Song family would view Jiang Ranran's claim of being pregnant at seventeen.
She clenched her fists in hatred just from seeing the look of affection in Old Master Song's eyes when he looked at Jiang Nian.
She saved him and gave him medicine worth 15 million. How could Old Master Song not like Jiang Nian?
Jiang Nian and Song Wenjing are the same age and are betrothed since childhood. Since Old Master Song dislikes Jiang Ranran's affection for Jiang Nian, he will definitely want Jiang Nian to marry his grandson.
Jiang Nian, a village girl who grew up in the countryside, suddenly became the apple of the Ji family's eye, and may even marry into the Song family and become the beloved granddaughter-in-law of Old Master Song.
She would rather someone like Jiang Ranran rise to power!
"Miss Ji, I didn't know you before, why are you helping me?" Jiang Ranran couldn't help but ask.
