I wonder where Jiang Xuanxuan heard about Bian Xiaoming starting a company. It's probably from her family's business connections.
Jiang Xuanxuan had almost forgotten about Bian Xiaoming; the name only sounded familiar. After reading his biography, she remembered—wasn't he the one who had been Zhou Pengfei's friend since childhood?
How could she possibly let go of such a relationship?
So, right after graduation, she started organizing a class reunion.
Although it was supposed to be a class reunion, she didn't invite many people; they were mostly her close friends.
But Bian Xiaoming had no idea! He received the invitation and genuinely thought it was a class reunion.
He immediately asked the others if they had received it.
However, neither Li Bin nor Chen Jiaoyun received it; only Yang Yajing and Zhou Pengfei received it.
Yang Yajing glanced at the initiator, narrowed her eyes, and asked Zhou Pengfei, "Boyfriend, Jiang Xuanxuan is going to host a Dragon Gate Banquet, but I think it will be a trap. Are you interested in accompanying your girlfriend to the battlefield?"
"Why bother with her?" Zhou Pengfei didn't want to go when he received the invitation.
"Life is so beautiful, I want to stir things up!" Yang Yajing said playfully.
"Are you really going?" Zhou Pengfei felt that Yang Yajing seemed to have made up her mind.
"Dare you smash up that nouveau riche's place?" Yang Yajing's eyes were full of wicked smiles.
"How do you want to smash it?" He would definitely accompany Yang Yajing on whatever she wanted to do.
"Let's face the enemy with the strongest mouth double and the most solid shield!"
"ah?"
Yang Yajing opened her phone and pointed to Chen Jiaoyun's number: "Mouth substitute!"
"What about the shield?" Zhou Pengfei asked again.
He could tell from the mischievous look in Yang Yajing's eyes that he was the shield!
"Sigh! Being your boyfriend is really tough, you even have to shield me from arrows..." Zhou Pengfei pretended to be injured, but the topic quickly changed, "What about the perks?"
"Hehe... As for benefits... you'll get them if you work hard!" Yang Yajing, that little flirt, really suited Zhou Pengfei's tastes!
"There's still a year left," Zhou Pengfei thought to himself. "By the time he graduates, we should get engaged! If she runs away, who will he cry to?"
If Xia Changlong knew about his idea, he would probably say that he had finally had enough of instant noodles and learned to strike first!
However, Xia Changlong was not very satisfied with Zhou Pengfei either, not because he was a person, but because he was dissatisfied with his achievements.
To become the son-in-law of the Xia family, you need to have some achievements; otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed.
Marrying into the Xia family would inevitably make him a public figure, and with all the media attention, he was afraid his mental fortitude wouldn't be strong enough and he'd be overwhelmed!
If I had given birth to a son, as long as the other party is of good character, no one would say anything. But he gave birth to a daughter… This world isn't very kind to sons-in-law who marry into their wives' families!
Even if he doesn't care about the media, his vain and competitive family members won't let him have an easy time.
Although Xia Junhu is disabled and has no children, Xia Tengyun and Xia Caixia do have children.
Xia Tengyun's wife is Wang Xiufen, does that name sound familiar? You guessed it, she is the younger sister of Wang Xiuzhen, Jiang Xuanxuan's mother.
My cousin is no better than Wang Xiuzhen, a shrew. She's cunning, opportunistic, and obsessed with money and saving face.
The daughter raised by such parents is exactly like Jiang Xuanxuan, cut from the same mold.
In addition, the two were related by marriage and had known each other for a long time. Although Wang Xiufen, who had married Xia Tengyun, looked down on the Jiang family, she still pretended to be interested in them.
Although Xia Caixia's husband, Wu Liang, was also a son-in-law who married into his wife's family, he owned a nightclub and was very popular among his friends.
The parents were also opportunists who fawned over the powerful and wealthy. They didn't care at all that their grandson had the surname Xia, and were even very smug, showing off everywhere that they were from the Xia family.
Wu Liang was quite capable; he used his connections to help Xia Caixia resolve business problems several times, making Xia Caixia completely obedient to him.
Their son, on the other hand, is a complete good-for-nothing. He's eighteen years old, but aside from spending all his time in nightclubs, he's accomplished nothing.
But since his surname is Xia and he uses the Xia family name, everyone has to give him some face. This fostered his unrealistic ambitions, his high aspirations but low abilities, and his snobbish personality.
Xia Changlong had no choice but to become relatives with this group of people, and he also had no choice but to marry Yang Yajing if Zhou Pengfei wanted to.
Therefore, Zhou Pengfei is not qualified or experienced enough, and Xia Changlong does not think highly of him.
Unfortunately, Yang Yajing liked Zhou Pengfei.
He felt guilty for being the absent father to him his whole life, and he also felt that he had no right to speak on the matter.
Yang Guohua had also spoken to him privately, saying that he was not as capable as Xia Changlong, but he had raised his daughter with love and care.
He hoped the Xia family wouldn't interfere in his daughter's love life and marriage. In Yang Guohua's heart, wealth and status weren't the most important things; what mattered most was that his precious daughter, whom he had raised with so much care, could be happy!
Xia Changlong had mixed feelings about Yang Guohua, feeling both gratitude and guilt.
Therefore, he would not refuse Yang Guohua's request. He only hoped that Zhou Pengfei could work harder, not disappoint him, and not put Yang Yajing in a difficult position.
Alas! Parents' hearts are always full of worry for their children! Aren't all parents truly heartbroken over their children's future?
Upon hearing from Yang Yajing that Zhou Pengfei was going to participate in an international competition, Xia Changlong made a special inquiry about it.
Knowing that the competition needed sponsorship, he immediately sponsored the online platform and promotional channels.
If Yang Yajing hadn't warned him not to tamper with things and said she believed in Zhou Pengfei's abilities, he really would have tried to get in touch with the organizers and get a special favor!
