Chapter 3 Welcome Banquet
When did you recognize her?
Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows, her face still maintaining a gentle expression.
“Wanwan really doesn’t understand what Mr. Shen said. I’m not good at this.”
“It seems that Shen made a mistake.” Shen Guan lowered his eyes slightly, “But why did you lose on purpose that night?”
Curious about this?
On one side is Lu Zhaoye, the young master of the Military Control Commission, and on the other side is Chen Guan, a member of a wealthy family.
Did she, an unknown person, have to offend them?
What's more, if they really play, she may not be able to beat them, and she doesn't want to lose seriously.
Jiang Tingwan smiled with all her face but not her heart.
"Wanwan's skills are inferior to others, so it's natural for her to lose."
Before she could think any more, Jiang's mother came over with another noble lady.
"Miss Jiang? You are really pretty and graceful."
The lady smiled and her eyes were full of approval.
Jiang Tingwan recognized her at a glance; this was Mrs. Lu.
Although she is nearly fifty years old, she exudes a kind of vitality that comes from being pampered.
"Mrs. Lu, you are too kind." Jiang Tingwan smiled even more obediently, "After seeing you today, I finally understand what it means to be a peerless beauty."
Mrs. Lu has heard such flattery countless times.
But for some reason, it felt particularly useful when it came from Jiang Tingwan's mouth.
This girl is neither humble nor arrogant, with clear eyes. She is neither snobbish nor overbearing.
After listening to Jiang's mother's brief introduction, Mrs. Lu was very satisfied with her character, talent and etiquette, and immediately ordered someone to call her young master over.
Before Lu Zhaoye arrived, she enthusiastically took Jiang Tingwan to chat about family matters.
"I heard that Miss Jiang plays the piano very well?"
"No, I just learned it for a while when I was a child."
In fact, Jiang Tingwan spent almost her entire childhood learning piano.
"My daughter Yiqiao also learned it for a while, but she wasn't very good at it."
Mrs. Lu said with a smile, her eyes full of doting on her daughter.
As he was speaking, Lu Zhaoye walked towards him slowly with his hands in his pockets.
He was wearing a black shirt with his collar slightly open, looking casual and uninhibited, exuding a cynical temperament.
"Mom, what do you want from me?"
Lu Zhaoye walked to Mrs. Lu and asked lazily, his eyes swept over Jiang Tingwan, but just that one glance, then looked away again, as if Jiang Tingwan was just an ordinary person at this banquet.
"This is Miss Jiang Tingwan from the Jiang family. You should get to know her well."
Mrs. Lu introduced.
Lu Zhaoye nodded slightly as a greeting, his face still showing a nonchalant expression.
Jiang Tingwan secretly complained to herself that she was acting so arrogant in the bar a few days ago, but now she was pretending to be cool.
"This is given to you by Yiqiao." Lu Zhaoye took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Tingwan with an indifferent expression.
He didn't understand when his sister had any contact with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Jiang Tingwan smiled gracefully and took the gift box.
They had just met a few days ago and Jiang Tingwan had prepared a gift for her. Thinking of her lively and lovely appearance, Jiang Tingwan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
The Lu couple had a harmonious relationship and doted on Lu Yiqiao, which was how they nurtured such a bright and lovely young lady.
In fact, Jiang Tingwan was somewhat envious in her heart.
She also has a nominal brother in the Jiang family, named Jiang Shixu.
However, the two rarely met.
Every time he returned to China, she happened to be abroad. When she was abroad, he returned to China.
Hearing that Jiang Shixu had recently won several big projects, people outside believed that the eldest son of the Jiang family was a genius in finance.
And she will probably be assigned to the Jiang Group in a while.
Even if it's just a title, it means that the Jiang family is giving this adopted daughter the opportunity to get in touch with the Jiang family's business.
"Zhao Ye, do you know each other?" Lu's mother saw the scene of handing over the gift.
Although one of them was unruly and the other gentle and polite, for some reason she felt they were a perfect match.
My son should find a girl like this who is well-educated and well-mannered and control his temper.
"I don't know him." Lu Zhaoye's lazy voice came, "Are you going to arrange for us to get to know each other again?"
Mother Lu had arranged for him to contact daughters of other families many times before, but basically all attempts had failed.
He either ignored the girls or always exposed their little thoughts. Mother Lu heard complaints about him a lot.
It’s just that the Jiang Tingwan in front of her really catches her eye.
Although she is an adopted daughter, her treatment is no less than that of Jiang family's biological daughter, so she still wants to act as a bridge.
"You rascal." Mother Lu slapped him in pretended anger, then turned to look at Jiang Tingwan, "Miss Jiang, I wonder if I can call you Wanwan too?"
"Of course." Jiang Tingwan smiled shyly.
When Lu Zhaoye saw this look, he inexplicably felt a little annoyed. This kind of gentle and considerate type again.
"Wanwan, your aunt would like to invite you to our house someday. What do you think?" Mrs. Lu held Jiang Tingwan's warm hand.
"Wanwan is very happy to do so." Jiang Tingwan answered obediently.
"Zhaoye, please make time for me the day after tomorrow, and then I can take Wanwan out for a walk."
Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Zhaoye with a look in her eyes that brooked no rejection.
He raised an eyebrow and said "OK", then turned and went to the balcony.
Jiang Tingwan looked at his back, pondering.
One is a smiling tiger, the other is a cynic. If they really want to get married, whose family would be easier to marry into?
It should still be the Lu family.
Although Lu Zhaoye is not easy to deal with, the Lu family has Lu Yiqiao to help, and the Lu couple are very loving, so it would probably be much easier to go in than to the Jiang family.
Although Shen's family is now ruled by Shen Guan, the family members are probably cold and indifferent, and difficult to get along with. However, Shen Guan is a smiling tiger, making it even more difficult to get close to him.
However, judging from the atmosphere in the Lu family, if the young master didn't like her, she wouldn't be able to get in.
Shen Guan, on the contrary, seems like someone who would weigh the pros and cons before participating in a marriage.
The Jiang family is a popular family. Not only do they have businesses all over the place, but Jiang's mother's family is also involved in the political situation. This should be their best choice for marriage.
But no matter what, she still has to gain a foothold in front of these two families first.
