Kyoto, the Jiang family, a family reunion banquet.
The banquet was a vibrant affair, with elegantly dressed women and gleaming lights.
Guests arrived in droves to the banquet, their faces beaming with smiles as they offered their congratulations to the Jiang family.
"Congratulations to Chairman Jiang and his wife on finding their long-lost son."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"I've heard that although Young Master Jiang grew up in the countryside, he excelled academically and is exceptionally capable..."
Listening to the polite greetings among these wealthy families, Qin Wan looked towards the second-floor railing with a complicated expression.
The main character of the banquet, Jiang Yan, and another party who had been occupying the place for many years, Jiang Nanyu, were standing there, seemingly talking about something. Neither of them looked relaxed or happy, and the atmosphere seemed not very good.
"Qin Wan, what are you thinking?"
Now that Jiang Yan has been recognized, does that mean your marriage partner will change to him?
Qin Wan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, is also the one who was betrothed to the eldest son of the Jiang family since childhood.
Now that the Jiang family has been embroiled in a baby swapping scandal, the marriage arrangement between the two families naturally needs to be discussed.
The Qin family and the Jiang family are evenly matched. Given how much the Qin family dotes on Qin Wan, whether or not to change her fiancé depends entirely on Qin Wan's thoughts and feelings.
Qin Wan didn't speak, her gaze still fixed on Jiang Yan and Jiang Nanyu on the second floor.
It's a bit higher than Jiangnan Island.
Jiang Yan: "?"
He's a bit more handsome than Jiangnan Yu.
Jiang Yan: "..." Who's speaking?
Hmm, even his furrowed brows are more handsome than Jiang Nanyu's.
Jiang Yan's lips twitched involuntarily: "..."
Hmm, this is a tough choice.
select?
Which one should we choose?
Should we choose him and Jiangnan Yu?
Upon realizing this, Jiang Yan subconsciously glanced around the first-floor lobby, finally settling on Qin Wan, who was surrounded by a crowd in a corner.
Is it...her?
If he wasn't mistaken, the only one who seemed to have to choose between him and Jiang Nanyu was... Qin Wan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family?
The girl who was betrothed to the eldest son of the Jiang family since childhood.
Huh?
Is he looking at me?
Hmm, he looks even more handsome from the front.
Fox eyes are so alluring and captivating.
Such a high and straight nose...
Hmm, I've heard that men with high, straight noses are particularly... strong in that area?
Oh dear, I'm so shy!!!
Jiang Yan: "???"
Did he mistake someone for someone else?
The rumored eldest daughter of the Jiang family is clearly a beautiful woman with a cool and aloof personality. She is said to be serious and rarely smiles, and is a model of a wealthy heiress in the upper-class circles of Kyoto.
The girl in front of me, with her rich and vivid inner world... is she really Qin Wan?
Hmm, those thin lips are so sexy, so vibrant and luscious, I really want to kiss them.
Hmm... one kiss seems too few, let's kiss a few more times!
what to do……
I like it more and more the more I look at it...
The more I look at it, the less attractive Jiangnan Island seems.
Ugh, I'm so conflicted...
Who should I choose?
What are you looking at?
Just as Jiang Yan was feeling speechless because of Qin Wan's feelings, Jiang Nanyu felt frustrated and annoyed by his absent-mindedness and neglect, and was squinting at him with a displeased expression.
Following Jiang Yan's gaze, Jiang Nanyu frowned instinctively the moment he saw Qin Wan.
He had always been fairly satisfied with his fiancée, Qin Wan.
After all, she was beautiful, had a great figure, and was outstanding in all aspects, including education and ability. She was one of the top "rich, beautiful, and successful" women in Kyoto's elite circles.
But... that was in the past.
In the past, he could use the word "satisfied" to describe Qin Wan.
Whether Qin Wan will take a liking to him or choose him is another matter.
One is the eldest daughter of the Qin family, whom they cherish dearly; the other is merely an illegitimate son who was deliberately switched by a mistress and forced to take the place of the legitimate wife's biological son.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyu's expression... was quite varied.
"Are you interested in Qin Wan?" Jiang Nanyu withdrew his gaze from Qin Wan and frowned as he looked at Jiang Yan.
“…You’ve got it backwards.” Jiang Yan paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Nanyu with a serious expression.
Jiangnan Yu: "?"
What's the meaning?
Did he say it backwards?
What's reversed?
Could Jiang Yan be implying that Qin Wan is interested in him?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyu couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Wan is an extremely aloof and indifferent woman, always appearing as a haughty and dignified young lady.
Would she be interested in Jiang Yan?
What a joke!
"My parents are calling me, I'm going downstairs first." Jiang Yan ignored Jiang Nanyu's disdain and faint hostility, brushed past him, and went straight downstairs to where his parents were.
Staring at Jiang Yan's departing figure, Jiang Nanyu felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.
"Look!"
"Jiang Yan has come downstairs!"
"Qin Wan, to be honest, I think Jiang Yan is taller, more handsome, and more charming than Jiang Nanyu," said the beautiful and wealthy woman next to Qin Wan excitedly.
“Being handsome can’t put food on the table. Don’t forget, Jiang Yan grew up in the countryside and his education is on a completely different level from Jiang Nanyu’s.”
"Even if his true identity is revealed now, and he returns to the Jiang family, becoming the Jiang family's heir, so what? Whether he has the ability and skills of Jiang Nanyu is another matter." Another career-oriented, wealthy, and beautiful woman looked Jiang Yan up and down with a critical expression.
The career-driven, wealthy, and beautiful young woman's friend chimed in, "The fact that the Jiang family hasn't kicked Jiang Nanyu out of the company yet says it all."
"It's hard to say whether Jiang Yan can gain a foothold in the Jiang family."
"Jiangnan Island is no pushover."
"That's right. The Jiang family isn't just ruled by Chairman Jiang and Madam Jiang. There's also Old Master Jiang above them."
"Even if Chairman Jiang and Madam Jiang unconditionally stand on their son Jiang Yan's side, with Old Master Jiang in charge, it's really uncertain who will win between Jiang Yan and Jiang Nanyu."
Qin Wan ignored the people's discussions and focused her gaze on Jiang Yan.
Hmm... he looks more and more handsome.
She has a really good figure.
Her temperament is also more outstanding than that of Jiangnanyu.
His manners and basic conversation skills far surpass those of Jiangnan Island.
This Jiang Yan...
That's impressive!
As the two drew closer, Jiang Yan heard Qin Wan's thoughts more and more clearly.
If what he had just said on the second floor was merely a guess, now he was certain that the owner of that voice was Qin Wan.
This seemingly cold, unsmiling, and difficult-to-get-along-with eldest daughter of the Qin family.
The contrast is truly striking.
"Mom and Dad." Jiang Yan walked to his parents' side and smiled politely.
"Ayan, come over here and introduce yourself. This is your Uncle Qin."
Uncle Qin?
Huh?
When did my parents arrive?
Why didn't the old man tell me beforehand?
I haven't been called over?
strangeness.
What's going on in this?
Qin Wan looked in Jiang Yan's direction, her brows furrowing slightly.
Seeing this, her friends assumed she was dissatisfied with Jiang Yan and quickly tried to persuade her.
"If you really don't like it, how about choosing Jiangnan Island instead?"
"Although he is an illegitimate child, he is exceptionally capable and is qualified to inherit the Jiang family business."
“That’s right. Jiang Yan has an advantage in terms of bloodline, but his ability, vision, and intelligence are not as good as Jiang Nanyu’s. How can he be worthy of Qin Wan?”
"Yes, Qin Wan, you should think this through carefully."
Qin Wan turned a deaf ear to these people's well-intentioned advice...
