Since the two places were very close, they arrived there in no time.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the party, they attracted everyone's attention.
Liang Wan also invited a lot of people over today. When they saw Liang Wan coming, they came forward to chat with her.
"Mrs. Jiang, long time no see. You are still in such good shape and there is no sign of aging at all. Please teach me when you have time. Look, I have wrinkles." Mrs. Li complimented.
Of course Liang Wan could hear the flattery in her words, but no woman would not like to hear others' praise.
Liang Wan responded modestly with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Li, you are joking. How can I be that good? I think you are young and have maintained such a good figure."
Mrs. Li continued to praise him, "That's still nothing compared to you. Mr. Jiang has built up such a big company. My husband, Mr. Li, often sighs at home, wishing he could be as capable as Mr. Jiang."
When Liang Wan heard others praising her husband, her smile widened: "Haha, you're too kind."
The brother and sister next to Liang Wan asked: "Is this what their adults call chatting? Isn't it just business compliments?"
The two found it boring, so they told Liang Wan to go eat something first.
Liang Wan responded and continued to deal with the situation here. After all, she was the one who invited the person.
Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yanchuan arrived at the buffet area. Looking at the many kinds of food, they thought that He Pianran was spending a lot of money this time!
Jiang Qiao's eyes gradually became firm: "Xiaochuan, let's eat more. It's a shame for He Pianran. Just pick the expensive ones."
Jiang Yanchuan nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Qiao glanced at the barbecue area next to him and saw many precious seafood such as king crabs and lobsters, and two chefs standing there.
She walked over and asked sincerely, "Uncle, do you have to eat the seafood before you pay?"
The chef explained: "Yes, miss, do you want some? I can bake it for you."
Of course Jiang Qiao wanted it. Usually these seafood are just for decoration. The host would pay after the banquet as much as he could eat.
In such an occasion, no one would eat such difficult-to-prepare food because it would affect their image. But Jiang Qiao was not afraid of affecting her image. Fu Chimu was not here, so she wanted He Pianran to spend a lot of money.
"Uncle, roast these two king crabs first and pack up the rest." Jiang Qiao said in a calm tone.
Two chefs: ...
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll call you when I'm done."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yanchuan each took a large plate of food to the corner to eat, but unexpectedly they ran into Lin Shanshan.
I saw Lin Shanshan also holding a large plate of food and eating by herself.
Jiang Qiao took the initiative to greet him: "Hi, what a coincidence."
Lin Shanshan froze there, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Qiao didn't care and sat next to Jiang Yanchuan to eat together.
…
He Pianran has packed up now and is waiting for Lu Jinghe in the room.
After a while, there was a knock on the door and a voice came in. It was Lu Jinghe.
"Pianran, can I come in?"
He Pianran heard the man's voice and hurried to open the door.
"Brother Jinghe, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Jinghe's leg had not healed yet and he was still sitting in a wheelchair. He looked at the girl wearing the dress he had given her today, and the desire in his eyes was undisguised.
He Pianran closed the door and couldn't wait to sit on Lu Jinghe's legs, put her arms around his neck, her eyes full of charm, and the air suddenly became ambiguous. Lu Jinghe had already reacted, but his legs... Thinking of her own legs, a layer of fire suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Lu Jinghe held He Pianran's face and kissed her. He Pianran couldn't control herself and began to moan in her throat.
At this time, the door was knocked again.
"Ms. He, it's almost seven o'clock. You need to go downstairs."
The two were interrupted in their intimacy, and He Pianran said impatiently: "I know."
He Pianran stood up and straightened her clothes. Lu Jinghe's face looked bad and he didn't say anything.
He Pianran pushed Lu Jinghe out with a normal expression.
…
There is a custom in City A for girls’ coming-of-age ceremony, which is that their mothers have to comb their daughters’ hair personally to record the meaning of growing up.
He Pianran stood in the stands and stared at the people below. She saw Jiang Qiao next to her at a glance. Jiang Qiao was talking to Jiang Yanchuan and didn't even glance at the stage.
Seeing that Jiang Qiao didn't care about her, she felt a little angry, but she still had a smile on her face.
The host next to her began to speak: "Today is Miss He Pianran's eighteenth birthday. I would like to wish her a happy birthday first. Now I would like to invite her mother to comb her hair."
Zhang Yongmei dressed up specially today and was about to go up with a smile on her face, but she saw He Pianran took the microphone and slowly spoke to Liang Wan who was standing in the front row.
"Thank you all for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony. From today on, I am also Aunt Liang's daughter. I am very honored. I would like to ask Aunt Liang to help me comb my hair."
Jiang Qiao was a little unhappy: You are making a wish from here...
Zhang Yongmei was stunned. The students in the audience didn't know, but the people Liang Wan had invited knew. Wasn't this He Pianran the girl in the photo at Jiang Ting's banquet that day? Wasn't she the mistress? They knew Liang Wan was going to adopt a daughter today, but they hadn't expected her to be this girl. What was Liang Wan trying to do?
The people in the audience were wondering, don’t you have a mother yourself?
Liang Wan didn't expect He Pianran to be so impatient. Her own mother was still here, and she asked her to come. Of course, she couldn't let He Pianran get her wish. She looked at the people on the stage calmly.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to. I think the first time I combed someone's hair during a coming-of-age ceremony was at my daughter Jiang Qiao's coming-of-age ceremony."
The crowd was in an uproar and began to discuss in the audience. Those who Liang Wan had invited now knew that today's event was not as simple as Liang Wan recognizing her daughter, and they all showed expressions of watching a show.
After Liang Wan said this, He Pianran on the stage couldn't hold back her expression, and the host was also a little embarrassed, but still maintained her professionalism.
"Now please ask Miss He's mother to come and help Miss He comb her hair."
Zhang Yongmei didn't want to go. She felt like a joke, but she had to go. Otherwise, how would others look at He Pianran? She slowly walked onto the stage.
Maybe because there were so many people around today, Zhang Yongmei accidentally pulled He Pianran's hair, and He Pianran cried out in pain: "Ah, that's enough, get off now!"
He Pianran was unhappy and took her anger out on Zhang Yongmei.
Zhang Yongmei looked at her daughter and wondered whether her choice was right.
The host began to announce the next segment: "Now Ms. He can start cutting the cake."
After He Pianran divided the cake, she was about to dance the first dance of the day. She originally wanted to complete the first dance with Lu Jinghe, but his leg was injured.
Of course, He Pianran would not allow any mistakes in her coming-of-age ceremony, so she found a dance partner in advance. She went to the front of the dance floor and glanced at Lu Jinghe, and found that Lu Jinghe looked very bad.
Lu Jinghe stared at the dance partner's hand that was supporting He Pianran, and just wanted to chop his hand off.
