Shen Jingnian never expected that Su Hanzhou and Jiang Ning would actually have a verbal betrothal.
No wonder.
He kept pestering Jiang Ning.
Shen Jingnian narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.
--
Time flies.
Before they knew it, it was Tang An's birthday.
Deshi Nanyue invited almost all the prominent families in the capital, and Tang An is now a big blogger on Kuaiyin, plus the incident with the back view photo, so there were a lot of guests tonight.
Even though it wasn't time for the banquet yet, the banquet hall was already packed with people.
Tang An, dressed in a purple evening gown, stood in the center of the banquet hall, surrounded by admirers, like the protagonist in an idol drama.
She was also wearing jewelry worth millions, with priceless diamonds and expensive jadeite shimmering with iridescent light under the lights, making her even more radiant.
"Oh my god, An'an, is that earring you're wearing from the royal family of P country? I've only ever seen it in the newspaper!" Liu Xiaoman immediately recognized that the necklace around Tang An's neck was of extraordinary origin.
Tang An smiled slightly, pretending not to care, and touched her earring. "This seems to be it? It's jewelry from many years ago, I don't really remember it!"
Tang An was very good at manipulating people's hearts; the more indifferent she seemed, the more envious others became.
This is human nature!
After all, the things she doesn't care about are treasures that others would covet.
Liu Xiaoman looked at Tang An with envy in her eyes, then asked, "By the way, when are you planning to do a live stream to slap people in the face?"
"Let's wait until the banquet starts, there's no rush." Tang An curled the corners of his lips.
The banquet started promptly at 6 PM.
It's only 5:30 PM now.
Liu Xiaoman nodded and looked around. "By the way, where's your cousin from the countryside? Hasn't she arrived yet?"
"No." Tang An shook his head.
Liu Xiaoman narrowed her eyes, a look of disgust flashing in them. "I've never seen anyone as shameless as her. That back view was clearly yours, yet she shamelessly claimed it was her! And she even said on Weibo that she wouldn't apologize!"
"That's absolutely disgusting!"
"Xiaoman, don't speak so loudly. What if someone hears you? Even though she's impersonating me, she's still my sister." Tang An acted like a kind and loving older sister.
If outsiders saw her like this, they would really think she was some kind of good older sister.
"No need to whisper, we've already heard about this." Suddenly, another female voice rang out from the side.
Tang An looked up and saw a young woman in a champagne-colored evening gown walking towards him.
This person is named Xiang Wan, the third daughter of the Xiang family.
The short-haired woman standing next to Xiang Wan is named Hu Lili, the heiress of the Hu Group.
Hu Lili nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, An'an, we've already heard about this. You treat her like a younger sister, but she might not treat you like an older sister! I've never seen a younger sister so blatantly steal her older sister's things."
Jiang Ning has a very bad reputation in Beijing's elite circles.
After all, this matter has caused such a big stir.
Some things are one thing to do behind closed doors, but another to deal with them in the open. In addition, it has been trending on social media several times, and even Mr. Ouyang personally came out to corroborate Tang An's claims. Therefore, Jiang Ning not only has a bad reputation in the circle of the wealthy, but is also a laughing stock on the internet.
Tang An glanced at the group and sighed helplessly, "Don't say that. My sister just came back from the countryside and feels insecure. It's normal for her to want to gain everyone's approval in this way."
At this point, Tang An paused, then continued:
"I don't blame her. As long as she apologizes to me in the live stream tonight, this matter will be over. I don't want to pursue it any further."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wan scoffed, "Want to gain everyone's approval? You resort to such despicable and underhanded means to gain everyone's approval? Does this kind of person deserve to be the heir of the Shi Group?"
It's ridiculous!
“Sister Xiang Wan is right. This kind of person is not worthy of being the heir to the Shi Group.” At this point, Hu Lili seemed to have thought of something, grabbed Tang An’s sleeve, and then asked, “By the way, An’an, I heard that Jiang Ning signed a performance-based agreement with the shareholders of the Shi Group, is that right?”
"Yes." Tang An nodded slightly.
Hu Lili's eyes widened. "She actually dared to sign it!"
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoman and Xiang Wan asked with great curiosity, "What agreement? What betting agreement? What did that country girl bet with the shareholders of the Shi Group on?"
Tang An lowered his voice, "Although this isn't a major confidential matter, I'm telling you all, so don't spread it around."
All three nodded.
"An'an, you said it, we promise we won't spread it around." Xiang Wan patted her chest.
Tang An then spoke, "She signed a performance-based agreement with the Shi Group. The gist of it is that she can create a star product for the Shi Group within six months and successfully bring the Shi Group into line with international standards."
Upon hearing this, the group's eyes widened, and then they burst out laughing.
Hahahaha!
"She's insane! How dare she, a country bumpkin who only knows how to steal from others, spout such nonsense!"
"Six months? I'm afraid she couldn't achieve that even in a lifetime!"
"A country girl dares to claim she can develop a star product? The junk she comes up with wouldn't even be used by a dog."
"Exactly! Even a dog wouldn't need it!"
Who does Jiang Ning think he is? He didn't even finish his senior year of high school and hasn't even figured out the basics of chemistry. How dare someone like him brag like that!
It's utterly ridiculous.
Tang An's eyes were full of sarcasm, but she still pretended to be a good older sister and continued, "Xiangwang, Lili, and Xiaoman, don't say that. What if, what if my sister really can figure it out?"
"Tch!" Xiang Wan snorted coldly. "If a little village girl like her could figure this out, she wouldn't just be stealing your things."
Let alone Jiang Ning, even the legitimate daughters of prominent families wouldn't dare say they have such abilities.
