He gave the obsequious nobleman a cold look, and was about to speak when Jiang Tian pulled her hand back first.
She said to Lin Jingling very seriously, "I don't know how you define friendship, but as far as I know, I don't have any friends at work. I've always been a loner, so if you're thinking of using me to cause trouble for my boyfriend, or if your boyfriend wants to use me to build connections, then you've miscalculated."
“I am me, and my boyfriend is my boyfriend. During our relationship, I will absolutely not allow anyone to take advantage of him through my relationship.”
"If you insist on considering me a good friend, then we'll break off our friendship now. If you have any conscience and know you're talking nonsense, then please leave and stop bothering us."
Jiang Tian's tone was very cold, and her words were blunt and even very direct, making her seem somewhat forceful.
But her attitude was very effective at banquets.
As the saying goes, even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches. In the eyes of many nobles, modesty and decorum are their hallmarks. They are bound by the rules of high society and would never cause any trouble in public.
Jiang Tian's straightforwardness is the complete opposite of the low-key approach emphasized by high society.
But her straightforwardness clarified the facts for herself and also made her attitude clear: don't even think about asking Su Yuyao for favors through her.
I wonder how many people feel sorry about this.
After all, Su Yuyao is really too difficult to approach. Even though he is still a college student, he is not so easy to contact.
Otherwise, this nobleman would not have resorted to such a desperate measure, deliberately bringing a commoner woman as a companion and even acknowledging her as his girlfriend.
Jiang Tian's statement directly cut off this path, and many people's expressions were not very good, especially Lin Jingling and her boyfriend, who froze on the spot.
Lin Jingling panicked and quickly said, "Jiang Tian, how could you do this? I'm your friend! Why are you doing this? Have you forgotten your friends just because you've become a nobleman's girlfriend? You're really hurting me—"
As she spoke, she almost burst into tears.
The fact that two ordinary women suddenly started arguing actually attracted the attention of some people.
Jiang Tian is Su Yuyao's girlfriend. If Su Yuyao's reputation is affected by her, then things will get interesting.
Jiang Tian's tone was icy: "I've made myself clear. If you're pretending not to understand, then go get your ears checked; if you can't see my rejection, then go get your eyes checked. I don't understand your convoluted schemes, I just ask you to stay away from me."
"Jiang Tian, aren't you going a bit too far with your words?"
Just then, the main character of the banquet made his appearance.
Cui Chuwei, as the star of the banquet, truly stole the show today.
Cui Linye had already told her that she didn't need to wait until the crucial moment to make her appearance; now was a good time to build relationships with all parties—she should take the initiative to host the entire banquet, communicate more with others, and let everyone see her importance.
Cui Chuwei took her brother's words as gospel and did exactly what he said.
So she kept talking to other people.
She anticipated a good show at the banquet, but she didn't expect it to start so early.
Just as everyone was getting into the show, Jiang Tian's public statement actually made the "drama" lose a lot of its appeal.
Cui Chuwei was a little annoyed.
Actually, she didn't mind this farce happening at her banquet; if it involved Jiang Tian, she would be even more excited.
At this moment, seeing that Jiang Tian's friend was about to be overwhelmed, Cui Chuwei came over.
Everyone knows she comes from a commoner background, so it's normal for her to step forward and take charge of this matter, especially since she's from the family that hosted the banquet and is the main character.
When Jiang Tian saw Cui Chuwei, she even had the time to greet her first: "Hello, Miss Cui, you look beautiful today."
Cui Chuwei looked absolutely stunning today; she was amazed by her own beauty for quite some time.
It's true that money can make people more beautiful.
She never imagined in her life that she could wear such a gorgeous dress, just like a goddess.
Her brother was too good to her.
Cui Chuwei's admiration for Cui Linye grew day by day.
No one can understand how good her brother is; those who do might even try to take him away from her.
Cui Chuwei accepted Jiang Tian's praise, but instead of taking Jiang Tian's side, she spoke to Jiang Tian in a serious tone: "I heard most of your conversation just now. I think it's a good thing that your ordinary friend wants to continue being your friend, so why do you insist on refusing?"
"One should not forget one's roots. Just like me, I come from a humble background, but I have never forgotten the hardships of the past. It is those experiences that have made me who I am today, and I will continue to work hard to become even better."
"I still hope you cherish friendship and don't do anything you'll regret later. Friends are hard to come by."
Cui Chuwei spoke sincerely, but anyone with eyes could see what she was up to.
What's the point of Jiang Tian being friends with such low-class commoners? There's a value to be had when making friends.
It's obvious that Cui Chuwei just wants to watch the drama unfold.
However, Cui Chuwei's sincerity was flawless, as if she were genuinely concerned for Jiang Tian.
So, how will Jiang Tian respond?
Jiang Tian looked at Cui Chuwei: "Miss Cui, is that what you think?"
“Yes,” Cui Chuwei answered without hesitation.
"Then I'd like to ask you, would you be willing to be friends with her?"
Cui Chuwei's face froze instantly.
Jiang Tian didn't give her time to react and continued, "Since you said we were both commoners and you don't want to forget your days as a commoner, I think making friends with a commoner would better show that you haven't forgotten your roots."
