Xiao Chenglin's lips curled into a cold smile: "Isn't her predicament something you brought about? I was clearly only acting from my own perspective when I chose to end this marriage."
“If you’re in a position of power, do your job properly. Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb. Don’t you know how much influence you have? You just didn’t treat old-fashioned women as real people before, which is why you have so many excuses.”
Xiao Chenglin remained silent.
Jiang Tian continued, "Since you've made your decision, please go and comfort Miss Qin. I don't know how you two confirmed your engagement, but I won't give way to any other woman in the short term."
"You consider things from the perspective of so many old-fashioned women, but you seem not to have considered Qin Xueyi's predicament."
Xiao Chenglin's tone carried a hint of mockery, as if he were laughing at her hypocrisy.
Jiang Tian said very frankly: "Everyone has morals, and we should be taught basic morals from childhood. You men can have three wives and four concubines, and modern women should learn from you, but I can't learn it."
“Miss Qin told me that when she started dating you, she already knew the truth that you had a wife back in your hometown, but she still continued to date you without hesitation. So I think she should be able to handle the current situation.”
Xiao Chenglin squinted at her: "Are you getting revenge on her? Have you already put yourself in the position of the legal wife?"
"Revenge? I can only say that in this era where all kinds of ideas are spreading, I can't take revenge on anyone. Just as you said, everyone is pursuing freedom. I pursued my right to express myself and expressed my thoughts, which gained the approval of some people, but there will definitely be people who don't agree with me and agree with Miss Qin."
“Everyone has a different perspective. I am prepared to bear the backlash, and Miss Qin should also take responsibility for her actions.”
At this point, Jiang Tian also gave Xiao Chenglin a cold laugh: "Besides, aren't you the one with the most serious problems? If you haven't taken care of your own affairs before pursuing a woman, then you are the real culprit."
Xiao Chenglin stared at her for several seconds with a sullen face, but ultimately did not refute her.
The two stood in that secluded spot for a while. Xiao Chenglin said to Jiang Tian, "Come on, let's get to know my friends. When you ever want a divorce, I'll still need those friends to stand up for me."
"Okay, I'd like to meet them too."
Jiang Tian followed Xiao Chenglin and greeted several of his friends.
Everyone's expressions toward Jiang Tian were quite intriguing, but at least on the surface, no one caused her any trouble.
Just as the banquet was in full swing, a burst of excited shouts came from outside.
"Mr. Wilson is here!"
Upon hearing this name, Xiao Chenglin's eyes lit up slightly.
The situation is changing rapidly, and many foreigners have come to invest in this country.
Wilson's family was one of them.
As the representative of the family, Wilson received a lot of admiration.
After all, he has too much capital, and if you want him to invest and build a factory in this city, you will inevitably have to get to know him.
The reason so many celebrities are here at today's banquet is because many people knew Mr. Wilson was coming.
Not long after, a tall, blond, blue-eyed man walked in.
In full view of everyone, the man embraced Xiao Chenglin intimately without any hesitation.
"Xiao, it's been a long time. You've become more and more handsome."
Wilson speaks English.
Xiao Chenglin showed no sign of distress. He smiled at him and said, "I heard you closed a big deal. Are you interested in building a few more factories?"
He also spoke English.
Wilson frowned. "Xiao, we're friends. I hope you won't bring up investment the moment we meet. I'm already having a terrible headache. I heard you're going to give me a gift. Where is it? I'm really curious!"
Xiao Chenglin's expression remained unchanged.
He continued smiling: "Are you sure you want to see it at the banquet?"
"Of course, the gift you give me will definitely be a treasure, and I hope others will witness its arrival with me!"
"Alright, then I'll have them send the gifts over."
After smiling at Wilson, Xiao Chenglin called to his subordinate and asked him to fetch the items.
"Who is this? Have you changed girlfriends again?"
The two of them were talking as if no one else was around, and Wilson didn't even glance at Jiang Tian.
At this moment, Wilson finally saw Jiang Tian, and his eyes were filled with very simple curiosity.
Jiang Tian smiled at him, nodded, and then said to Xiao Chenglin, "Please translate this for me."
Xiao Chenglin glanced at Jiang Tian, but did not translate the exact words. He simply said, "He asked who you are."
After listening, Jiang Tian nodded, then smiled at Wilson and said in somewhat broken English, "Hello, my name is Jiang Tian, and I am Xiao Chenglin's wife. I just arrived here and am not very familiar with English. I hope you can understand."
Although her English was broken and hesitant, it was at least understandable.
Xiao Chenglin glanced at the woman beside him; Jiang Tian had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Wilson looked surprised: "Is she your wife?"
Xiao Chenglin's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded in acknowledgment.
"Qin is your fiancée, and she is also your wife. This doesn't seem quite right." Wilson's expression already showed doubt.
"I'll tell you about these things in detail after the banquet. The gifts have already been delivered; don't you want to take a look?"
Xiao Chenglin's words successfully diverted Wilson's attention, and his gaze was now fixed on the dazzling vase in front of him.
"It's so beautiful! So the gift you gave me was the vase I've always wanted to collect! I remember entrusting this to Miss Qin, and this is the one she found?"
Xiao Chenglin smiled and said, "Yes, she went through a lot of trouble, visited many places, and finally found the vase. Your birthday is coming soon, so this is an early gift for you."
"It's so beautiful! This vase is absolutely gorgeous, it's breathtaking! What a wonderful surprise! I'm going to keep it in our family museum so future generations can see it! Thank you so much, Xiao! And Qin, I'll thank her in person!"
As the two were talking, a number of guests gathered around.
Many knowledgeable customers emphasized the value of this vase, saying it was made by a famous craftsman from a certain dynasty, is very rare, and worth a fortune.
"Miss Qin is indeed worthy of her scholarly family background; she even managed to find such a precious vase."
"Yes, they're much better than some country bumpkins."
Some people couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks quietly.
Qin Xueyi has quite a few fans.
Jiang Tian, who was called a country bumpkin, was also staring intently at the vase.
After a while, she approached Xiao Chenglin and whispered, "This vase is fake; you can't give it away."
