Although Mr. Jiang was in good health, he was an old man after all and needed to rest early. He just sat for a while and then left.
Su Man and Qin Honghui walked her all the way to the car. Before leaving, Mr. Jiang held Su Man's hand and was reluctant to let her go until they agreed on the next time to meet.
The extended luxury Lincoln left with exhaust fumes.
As soon as Mr. Jiang left, Qin Honghui couldn't hold back any longer and asked curiously, "How did you get this old lady to understand? I tried everything I could to please her, whether it was giving her gifts or trying to connect her with others, but it didn't work. How did you manage to make them act like grandparents and grandchildren in just a short while?"
Facing Qin Honghui's doubts, Su Man smiled slightly and said, "Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you put your heart into it."
"With all my heart?"
Qin Honghui thought thoughtfully, "You mean I should use my sincerity to impress her?"
"Don't tease me, Dad. Sincerity alone is not enough."
Qin Honghui: “…”
Su Man said half seriously, "If you want someone to help you, then you have to observe what they really want. Old Jiang lived a glorious life, gaining both fame and fortune, but the only thing she lacked was family affection. Her only daughter passed away a few years ago. Coincidentally, I happen to be somewhat similar to her daughter, so I deliberately imitated her dressing style today to talk to Old Jiang, and that's why she was willing to listen to me."
Qin Honghui's brows relaxed. "I never thought that even Mr. Jiang, who was so wise all his life, would be fooled by your little tricks."
Su Man shook her head. "It's not a trick. Although I was a bit opportunistic, I really loved her as my grandmother. When interacting with people, especially smart people, sincerity comes first, and profit comes second."
Listening to Su Man's leisurely speech about the truth that some people need half a lifetime to comprehend, Qin Honghui's heart was shaken and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He looked at Su Man with a look of relief and admiration, which finally turned into a sigh, "Xiao Man has grown up."
Su Man stepped forward and took Qin Honghui's arm. "Dad, you have worked hard to run the Qin family. Xiaoman wants to be a useful daughter and help Dad share the burden."
Qin Honghui's eyes were slightly red. He patted Su Man's hand and said with relief, "With Xiaoman to share Daddy's burden, Daddy will never feel tired."
The father and daughter exchanged a few more intimate words. Although Qin Honghui had not yet fully experienced the joy of having a good daughter, there were still a lot of guests in the banquet hall, and they could not afford to chat slowly, so they had to go back.
When Su Man entered the banquet hall again, she happened to see Shi Rongrong looking around. When she saw the happy look on her face, she immediately came over to greet her.
"Xiao Man, I finally found you. I thought you were gone."
Su Man smiled slightly, "Today is our family's annual meeting, how could I leave first?"
"Yes, yes, I'm so confused."
Although Shi Rongrong looked at Su Man, her eyes were a little vague, and her hand holding the champagne was shaking slightly, which was not noticeable to others.
All she could think about now was how to get Qin Man to drink the drugged wine. The drug in the wine would make her unconscious and unable to think.
Shi Rongrong and Gu Liang had already made a plan. As long as Qin Man drank, they would trick her into the bathroom to have an affair with Gu Liang, and then Shi Rongrong would bring people to catch them.
In this way, Qin Man's reputation would be completely ruined. Not only Jin Sinian, no one would want such a woman as their wife. Then she would be in a difficult situation and could only marry Gu Liang, and their plan could continue.
Shi Rongrong's calculations were clattering. She handed the drugged glass of champagne to Qin Man and said with concern, "I see you've been busy entertaining guests. Have a drink and rest for a while."
Although Shi Rongrong pretended to be calm on the surface, her heart was actually pounding with nervousness, fearing that Qin Man would not drink.
However, Qin Man raised her hand and took the wine glass she handed over, shaking it gently, and the light amber liquid slid in circles along the wall of the glass.
Rongrong was terrified when she saw this scene, fearing that Qin Man's hand would shake and spill the medicinal wine.
After several torments, the slender wine glass was finally moved to Qin Man's lips.
Shi Rongrong swallowed unconsciously, nervously watching Qin Man's berry-colored lipstick-coated lips press against the rim of the glass. The liquid in the glass slid into her mouth as Qin Man poured the wine.
Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back, and she turned around gratefully.
"I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean it." The waiter holding the decanter behind her looked apologetic.
Shi Rongrong was wearing a white dress today. When the red wine splashed on her, she looked like she was shot and bleeding profusely.
Qin Man had taken all her clothes before, but the one she was wearing was something she had bought at a department store counter. She had kept the tag and packaging, waiting to return it after the dinner. Now, after the waiter splashed it like that, it was completely ruined, let alone being able to return it.
She grabbed the waiter and said in a rage, "You messed up my dress like this, and you're done with just a simple apology?"
The waiter apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, sir. I really didn't mean to do that. I...I'll just compensate you."
"Five thousand eight hundred and eight."
"It's so expensive..." Although the waiter was sad, he still took out his mobile phone and transferred money to Shi Rongrong.
But even after she paid the money, Rongrong still refused to give in. "I have paid the money, but now my clothes are in this state. How can I face people?"
"This...I..." The waiter stammered and couldn't say anything.
Qin Man spoke at the right time, "Okay, he didn't do it on purpose. I'll go to the bathroom with you to clean up, and then I'll ask someone to bring you another set."
As soon as Qin Man started talking, Shi Rongrong remembered that she had important things to do and couldn't afford to waste time on such trivial matters. However, she had been in a hurry and had not paid attention, so she had directly given the wine glass to Qin Man. Now she was really confused.
