The rooftop venue of a well-known star-rated hotel.
The guests were dressed in their finest attire, while Jiang Nanyu stood alone at the entrance, his gaze frequently drifting towards the doorway.
The moment Qin Wan appeared, arm in arm with Jiang Yan, Jiang Nanyu's face visibly paled.
“Wanwan…”
As the two approached Jiangnan Island, they saw this usually gentle and gentlemanly man reveal a slight loss of composure at this moment.
"I thought..."
Why?
Did you think she would choose him?
"Brother Nanyu, why are you alone? Didn't you bring a female companion?" Qin Wan looked at the empty seat next to Jiang Nanyu with surprise.
Jiang Nanyu pursed his thin lips, staring intently at Qin Wan, "My female companion will only be you."
The air seemed to fall silent for three seconds after he said that.
"I'm sorry, I took what others wanted tonight." Jiang Yan said with a smile, his words of apology showing no remorse whatsoever.
Jiang Nanyu merely glanced at him before ignoring him and turning her gaze back to Qin Wan.
"I know, Wanwan promised Mom she would take good care of Jiang Yan. Tonight's charity event was my oversight."
"Next time I will definitely arrange a female companion for Jiang Yan in advance, so that Wanwan can explain to her mother."
It must be said that Jiang Nanyu is indeed very shrewd in handling affairs.
From the moment Qin Wan appeared until now, only two minutes had passed, yet he had returned from his loss of composure to calm and collected, handling Qin Wan's decision to abandon him for Jiang Yan with ease.
Upon hearing what Jiang Nanyu said, Qin Wan smiled slightly but didn't respond.
Jiang Yan, however, acted completely out of character...
"Although the probability of an emergency is small, we still need to take precautions to deal with it."
"My advice is that you should prepare two more female companions in the future. Besides me, you also need to consider yourself."
Jiang Nanyu's eyes turned cold as he looked at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan smiled without saying a word, only gently patting Qin Wan's hand, silently comforting her and silently asserting his dominance.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Nanyu's gaze faltered, and a hint of inquiry appeared in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan has changed.
Jiang Yan had been avoiding his sharp edge and had never confronted him directly.
But just now, Jiang Yan actually provoked him?
Is he...changing his mind?
Are you no longer planning to hide it?
Are they planning to openly and fairly compete with him for the Jiang family's wealth?
What caused such a drastic change in his attitude?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyu seemed to have realized something and looked towards Qin Wan.
Is it... Qin Wan?
What did she say to Jiang Yan?
Could it be that Qin Wan has chosen to side with Jiang Yan?
With Qin Wan's support, Jiang Yan felt confident of victory and no longer concealed his ambitions.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyu found Jiang Yan laughable, but he was also angry at Qin Wan for being so blind.
So what if he is the eldest son of the Jiang family?
Having grown up in the countryside for over twenty years, never having seen the world, and never having received top-tier educational resources, what does Jiang Yan have to compete with him?
What can we use to compete with him?
Originally, he thought that only Qin Wan was worthy of the position of Mrs. Jiang.
In retrospect, he had overestimated Qin Wan.
Upon hearing Jiang Nanyu's thoughts, Jiang Yan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
Previously, he thought Jiangnan Island was nice and had no intention of competing with him for anything.
Ever since Qin Wan told him those things, coupled with Jiang Nanyu's heartfelt words just now, Jiang Yan suddenly felt hesitant.
If someone like Jiang Nanyu were allowed to inherit the Jiang family business, would Jiang's parents still be able to live as freely and unrestrainedly as they do now?
It was just a charity gala, and Qin Wan simply chose to be his date.
Jiang Nanyu went too far in speculating about her intentions...
Because of his appearance, Jiang's parents' attitude towards Jiang Nanyu changed so drastically, even openly favoring him, their biological son.
Although Jiang's parents did not explicitly state that they had driven Jiang Nanyu out of the Jiang family.
But for his sake, Jiang's parents insisted on disqualifying Jiang Nanyu from inheriting the family business.
If it weren't for Old Master Jiang's intervention, Jiang Nanyu would probably have been forced to leave the Jiang Group long ago...
Given Jiang Nanyu's vengeful nature, and considering what his parents did to him, would he really treat the couple well?
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes, concealing the complex expression that appeared in them.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that he looked unwell, Qin Wan quickly asked him with concern.
Jiang Yan snapped out of his daze, looked up and met Qin Wan's concerned gaze. He forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."
"The charity gala is about to start, let's go in," Qin Wan urged.
"good."
As they spoke, the two looked at Jiang Nanyu and said, "Brother Nanyu, you must be waiting for someone. Brother Jiang Yan and I won't bother you any longer. We'll go inside first."
Jiang Nanyu pursed his thin lips, not saying that the person he was waiting for was Qin Wan.
Instead, he let Qin Wan and Jiang Yan leave together, his gaze fixed on their departing figures.
How much do you know about... Jiangnan Island?
While looking for a seat in the venue, Jiang Yan suddenly asked Qin Wan a question.
Qin Wan was taken aback and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
“…Curious?” Jiang Yan thought for a moment and answered seriously.
"You've seen his appearance; he wouldn't be outshone by male celebrities in the entertainment industry, let alone in the world of the wealthy."
"As for him as a person... his abilities are beyond question, and the Jiang family has raised him very well."
"As for his temperament, he knows how to be grateful. The only flaw is that he is petty and particularly prone to holding grudges."
"But he is also very good at weighing the pros and cons."
“If it’s useful to him, he can keep enduring and tolerating it.”
"But once he's no longer of any use to him, Jiang Nanyu's revenge will be absolutely ruthless."
"In summary, Jiangnan Island is only suitable for making friends, not for making enemies."
Qin Wan analyzed the situation with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan frowned slightly, looking at Qin Wan with a complicated expression.
"Knowing his nature so well, why do you still want to antagonize him?"
Qin Wan looked up at him, "Because I wasn't raised to be scared."
"If I could, I would of course choose not to antagonize him. After all, it's better to avoid trouble. Being targeted by someone as petty as Jiang Nanyu is bound to be a never-ending and extremely annoying situation."
"But the premise for not turning against him is that he has not harmed my interests."
At this point, Qin Wan paused, her gaze fixed on Jiang Yan.
“I’ve already told you, it was Jiang Nanyu who schemed against me first. I was just protecting myself… or you could say I was giving him a taste of his own medicine.”
"Although I dislike trouble and don't want to cause problems, I'm not afraid of trouble either," Qin Wan said with a determined expression.
Looking at her sincere and frank appearance, Jiang Yan was unconsciously lost in thought for several seconds...
After regaining his senses, he smiled faintly at her, making no attempt to hide the admiration in his eyes.
Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 43.
Having been in Kyoto for so long, Qin Wan was the first person who suited his taste so well.
Intelligent, alert, unafraid of trouble, yet never causing trouble.
She said Jiang Nanyu was intelligent, and in his opinion, she was far superior to Jiang Nanyu.
