Chapter 50: Surprise appearance
The story behind this is a long one.
And it involves the grievances between two generations.
Simply put, Yao Shulan's father had an affair with Yao Shulan's tutor.
And that tutor was Yin Ruyun's mother.
The teacher even brought his own daughter, Yin Ruyun, with him, and lived and ate with Yao Shulan, becoming close friends.
Later, the truth came to light and Yao Shulan's mother was devastated. She died of depression in less than half a year.
Yao Shulan's father was going to marry Yin Ruyun's mother less than three months after his wife's death.
However, both of them died in a car accident on the eve of their wedding.
If Yao Shulan’s father had really married Yin Ruyun’s mother.
The one who is living a miserable life now must be Yao Shulan.
Everyone felt that God had a vision.
But no one expected that the feud between these two generations would extend to their next generation.
It's like a cursed cycle.
Yao Shulan later inherited all the Yao family's property and found a good man. In contrast, Yin Ruyun had nothing. After losing her mother, she was forced to drop out of school and entered society early, becoming an ordinary person.
Who would have thought that two people would be born on the same day, their fates would intertwine again, and would subvert the next generation.
Three years ago, the real daughter Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to her ancestral home.
But Jiang Ciyou was, after all, the daughter of the Jiang family who had been raised in the palm of their hands for twenty years, and it was difficult for her to give her up.
So to the outside world, Jiang Ciyou is now the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and Jiang Xiaoxiao is the second daughter.
As for the relationship between the eldest lady and the second lady, it remains a mystery to this day.
Some say that the two are incompatible, while others say that they keep to themselves.
Today is the first time that the two young ladies of the Jiang family appear in the same frame.
People are also very curious about whether Yao Shulan values her biological daughter, whose blood is thicker than water, or the adopted daughter whom she has spent half her life nurturing.
Jiang Ciyou specifically asked for leave from the TV station and asked other hosts to take over.
In the afternoon, we went to the banquet hall.
Just because Yao Shulan asked her for help with something.
Jiang Ciyou only found out after he arrived.
The so-called problem was that Jiang Xiaoxiao had too many haute couture evening gowns and she didn't know which one to choose.
Let Jiang Ciyou help you choose.
Jiang Ciyou didn't take Jiang Xiaoxiao's little trick seriously.
She was in the lounge, watching Jiang Xiaoxiao showing off her high-end dress worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in front of her like a colorful butterfly.
Sometimes, Jiang Ciyou felt that Jiang Xiaoxiao was both funny and pitiful.
She was like a beggar who became rich overnight and was trying desperately to show off.
Jiang Xiaoxiao knows it herself.
She grew up in such a harsh environment, with extreme material scarcity. She was terrified of poverty, but now she has everything overnight. She knows that showing off is a very shameful thing, but she can't help it.
Jiang Ciyou didn't pay much attention to Jiang Xiaoxiao and spent most of his time playing with his phone.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt happy when she saw Jiang Ci looking depressed.
She just wanted to let Jiang Ciyou know that everything she once had was originally hers.
And what she has now is what she gives away at will.
Finally, Jiang Xiaoxiao chose a red velvet dress.
The neckline and back are inlaid with many small diamonds, which look dazzling. The hem of the long skirt drags on the ground, but it has a high slit.
With every step, you can see the long legs looming.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao looks good, with delicate features, a slender figure and fair skin.
Just looking at her appearance and figure, she can be considered a beauty.
It's just that his manners and temperament are lacking a little.
Today she hired a celebrity makeup artist to do an extremely delicate makeup for her. She tied her hair up high and wore a small crown worth two million dollars on her head. With her vintage velvet dress in a Central European style, she really looked like a princess of a noble family.
Compared to her, Jiang Ciyou is too plain.
After a while, the public relations manager in charge of the event came over.
"The guests are almost here. Mrs. Jiang and the two young ladies may come out now."
Jiang Jinhui was outside greeting guests. That's why they were here.
Because Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to make a stunning appearance, Yao Shulan had no choice but to fulfill her wish.
When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard that the guests had arrived, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
"Has the prince arrived yet?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao had specifically instructed before that the prince would be present, and as soon as he arrived, he should come and inform her.
The manager said with some regret: "Mr. Bo hasn't arrived yet."
A look of disappointment flashed in Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
She originally wanted to wait for Bo Jinxiu to arrive and surprise everyone.
When Jiang Ciyou heard Bo Jinxiu's name, his eyes moved slightly.
Did Jiang Xiaoxiao also invite Bo Jinxiu?
Bo Jinxiu didn't tell her about this last night, so he probably won't come.
Yao Shulan said, "The guests have all arrived. Today's guests are all important figures in Rongcheng. Don't keep them waiting. Let's go out."
Jiang Xiaoxiao took Yao Shulan's arm and said, "Okay, Mom, let's go out."
The lounge is connected to the corridor, and two meters away there is a huge spiral staircase leading directly to the banquet hall.
As they walked up the stairs.
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
Then the music started.
The guests in the room were stunned at first.
Then the ceremonial director said, "Let us welcome today's two birthday stars, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Ms. Jiang Ciyou."
Everyone's eyes turned towards the light source.
A beam of light fell from the ceiling, shining on the spiral staircase.
The brightest beam of light shone on Jiang Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam and looked noble and elegant.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, wore a red velvet dress inlaid with countless tiny diamonds. She looked gorgeous and elegant.
This dress is obviously high-end and very expensive.
And there was a fainter beam of light falling behind them.
Reflected on the woman in a white dress.
The woman was wearing a white long evening dress, which was simple in design but very classic and elegant.
The thin straps were hooked on the woman's fair shoulders, her collarbone was clearly visible, and the smooth lines and design wrapped around her exquisite figure.
Especially the design of the waist, which has a circle of hollowing out and a slender waistline that is so beautiful that it is unfair.
The woman’s makeup was very light, but her eyes were as bright as stars, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
She has naturally wavy hair that falls casually over her shoulders.
But against such a beautiful face, it seems as if every hair is shining...
Although she was wearing simple clothes, it made her look even more charming and charming, like a white rose that was lost in the world.
The pure white color does not affect her charm at all.
Instead, it made her the most dazzling presence in the whole venue.
For a moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao's red dress seemed vulgar against the backdrop of such extreme beauty.
The crowd began to talk.
"The two young ladies of the Jiang family showed their statuses in the way they appeared."
"Obviously, Mrs. Jiang still values her biological daughter more. Her biological daughter's clothes and jewelry must be worth millions, while the adopted daughter is still wearing the old styles that Xiang Nai bought a few years ago."
"But I have to admit that the fake daughter is simply too good-looking and has a very nice temperament."
"Yes, she is so beautiful. I finally understand what it means to be born with beauty."
After coming down the stairs, Jiang Xiaoxiao vaguely heard the praises from the crowd.
When she was feeling proud of herself, she suddenly discovered.
Everyone seems to be praising Jiang Ciyou.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned bad.
