Li Xiu took on the responsibility of the entire Li family, so he could not escape the complexities of human relationships.
"You don't need to say much when you get there."
In the car, Li Xiu gave Jiang Tian some instructions.
Jiang Tian is wearing a sophisticated and elegant black dress today, adorned with a diamond necklace worth millions.
Her black hair was all piled up, revealing her slender, snow-white neck.
At first glance, she looked like a well-mannered noblewoman, not a woman struggling to survive in the slums.
Jiang Tian nodded, her tone earnest: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Li Xiu trusted Jiang Tian completely.
Perhaps it was her consistently composed demeanor that gave him this feeling.
The two entered the banquet hand in hand, attracting a lot of attention.
Li Xiu originally did not intend to let Jiang Tian out of his sight, but unfortunately his elders had something to discuss with him.
The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Tian nodded to him with a smile.
Li Xiu then took a step.
As soon as he left, Jiang Tian was immediately surrounded by a large group of people.
They were all subtly trying to find out Jiang Tian's identity.
Jiang Tian smiled but did not answer their questions.
She had an air of nobility, and people dared not ask her anything they shouldn't; they could only hint at it and leave it at that.
Li Xiu had never publicly revealed Jiang Tian's identity. Today was her first public appearance, and many people were curious about her, while few looked down on her.
Until the business partner who had been drinking with Li Xiu last time arrived at the wedding banquet.
The man looked like a short, stocky person, but he was accompanied by a beautiful, well-built girl who was a head taller than him, which was quite eye-catching.
As soon as they entered, many people sized them up.
But no one went up to talk to him; no one wanted to lower themselves.
The business partner seemed to be in good spirits, sporting a large pregnant belly, and was greeting people around with his beautiful girlfriend.
Soon, he ran into Jiang Tian.
Upon seeing her, the short, squat man's eyes widened: "What are you doing here?!"
Jiang Tian smiled at him and said, "Hello, sir."
They hadn't introduced themselves to each other, so Jiang Tian naturally didn't know his name.
"No, how did you sneak in?"
Out of shock, “Dwarf Melon” asked again.
He never expected to see a gold digger like Jiang Tian at such an event attended by high-society people.
“Mr. Li brought me here,” Jiang Tian said truthfully.
"Li Xiu?!"
"Dwarf Melon" was even more shocked; he couldn't understand how it all had happened.
Why would Li Xiu bring such a woman to such an important occasion? It doesn't make sense.
"Did you lie to him? Does he even know what you do for a living?"
"Dwarf Melon" was so curious that, disregarding the many people present at the banquet, he blurted out the question.
“Mr. Li brought me here, so he naturally knows about my situation.”
Jiang Tian's tone remained the same, showing neither fear nor timidity.
"Oh... I see..."
"Shorty" couldn't ask any more questions; he just felt that everything was too abnormal.
He left in a daze with his girlfriend, but their conversation was overheard by someone with ulterior motives.
Out of curiosity, some people approached "Shorty": "Do you know that beautiful woman? Who is she? President Li seems to be very fond of her."
"Shorty" thought about it and felt that Jiang Tian's identity couldn't be kept secret. Even if he told her, it wouldn't matter. Maybe President Li just needed a female companion and that's why he asked Jiang Tian to appease him.
So he told her the truth about Jiang Tian's identity, background, and how she met Li Xiu.
After hearing his words, the man's gaze changed.
Before long, the way the other onlookers looked at Jiang Tian changed completely.
They originally thought Jiang Tian was a pampered young lady from an unknown family, but they never expected her to be from such a place...
Those who originally wanted to get close to Jiang Tian instantly changed direction.
Suddenly, Jiang Tian was all alone.
When Li Xiu came out, he found Jiang Tian being questioned by someone.
The people questioning her were from the groom's family.
As soon as that person saw Li Xiu, he immediately walked towards him.
"Mr. Li, you've arrived? Perfect timing. You can send your little companion home first. For a banquet like this at my house, you can come by yourself; there's no need to bring such a lowlife."
