Even with the old man's support, other people who value social class would not accept Jiang Tian.
It can be said that once Xiao Chengyang's marriage to Jiang Tian is finalized, he will forever lose his eligibility to compete for the position of head of the Xiao family.
How could Xiao Chengyu's parents not be overjoyed?
They dreamed of defeating the eldest son's family and seizing the right of inheritance.
Xiao Chengyu is no less capable than Xiao Chengyang, but only Xiao Chengyang can be called "Acheng". Others, such as Xiao Chengyu and Xiao Chengguang, can only be called by the last character.
This is also a great honor.
Why should Xiao Chengyang get the best?
Seeing that he might fall, the people in the other rooms were already secretly hoping for it.
Almost everyone eagerly awaited this birthday banquet.
At the birthday banquet, the guests who came to offer their birthday wishes were treated no differently than walking on a red carpet. In fact, for them, having the right to enter was more important than attending an awards ceremony.
Therefore, all the dresses seen at the event were extremely expensive.
Amidst the fragrance of clothes and the sway of hair, splendor and wealth abound.
Those who came were all from wealthy families, and all the big-name celebrities were invited to perform. Everyone had a perfectly appropriate smile on their face.
When they expressed their blessings to the old man, they were even more affectionate than they would to their own parents.
The old man looked completely at ease; his kindness added to his dignified and approachable demeanor.
But no one dared to underestimate him.
In that turbulent era, those who survived to the end were unlikely to be virtuous.
The Xiao family had arrived long ago. They greeted each other warmly while secretly watching the entrance to the banquet, waiting for Xiao Chengyang.
Jiang Tian, on the other hand, was relaxed and at ease, even having the leisure to savor fine wine and delicacies.
Meng Guansheng remained vigilant at all times.
The old man's unfathomable nature was revealed as early as when his identity as a man was discovered.
Meng Guansheng couldn't cause too much trouble on his turf, but he could still protect Jiang Tian's safety.
He had actually considered taking Jiang Tian away before the birthday banquet even started, but she refused.
"Please, I can go back to a normal life by attending a birthday banquet. If I run away at this time, do you think that old man will let me go? I don't want to hide. I just want to get through this."
Jiang Tian seemed to be under no pressure at all.
But Meng Guansheng foresaw the injustice she was about to suffer.
He suddenly felt his own incompetence.
He had intended to protect Jiang Tian, but when he encountered some of the world's top billionaires, he found himself tied down.
But no matter how much emotion he felt, he had to suppress it.
At this moment, if he doesn't stay by Jiang Tian's side, she will truly have no one else to rely on.
Jiang Tian nudged Meng Guansheng: "Don't be so tense. No one here would dare to harm me. Who would dare to do anything underhanded in front of the old man?"
Even if some scheming people want to harm others, they should think twice before ruining the old man's birthday banquet and considering what kind of retribution they would suffer.
Meng Guansheng slowly exhaled.
The two of them, stopping and starting, became a unique sight at the banquet.
More and more guests entered the birthday banquet, but no one dared to approach them.
But the number of people staring at Jiang Tian kept increasing.
At this moment, Wu Tai walked towards Jiang Tian, still with her previous dignified and elegant demeanor: "Come with me, A-Cheng is almost here, the old man wants you to go to his place."
Jiang Tian nodded with a smile.
Unexpectedly, before she even saw Xiao Chengyang, she saw many familiar faces.
Han Shuangxi, Han Zizhuo, Qin Mochen, Shen Yishui... they all came.
They actually arrived very early, but none of them approached Jiang Tian.
In such a setting, any man approaching her would only further damage Jiang Tian's reputation.
She is currently Xiao Chengyang's fiancée. If she were to openly entangle herself with other men at the old man's birthday banquet, it would be obvious whose face she would be slapping.
Therefore, even the most impulsive Han Zizhuo only dared to look at Jiang Tian with reddened eyes, without saying a word.
Han Shuangxi still maintained his previous refined and gentlemanly demeanor, only the smile on his lips seemed somewhat ethereal.
Qin Mochen and Shen Yishui came with their father, and their expressions were increasingly complicated.
Here, even acquaintances can become strangers.
Jiang Tian didn't speak to them, but instead stood next to the old man, appearing very humble.
The old man was in a good mood: "Wait with me for a bit. Cheng just called and said he's on his way."
"OK."
Even though the hall was still noisy, everyone was secretly watching the entrance.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chengyang finally appeared.
He walked in step by step.
A good show is about to begin.
