Wei Wei's laughter was very generous and could be heard by everyone.
When Madam Zhang glanced over, she glared at her like an enemy.
Wei Wei wasn't afraid. Instead, she asked very seriously, "Mrs. Zhang, look, I've done what I was supposed to do. What about your promise?"
Madam Meng's expression had already changed. She grabbed Wei Wei's hand and said, looking flustered, "It was all a joke. You should be more forgiving."
"Especially since we're visiting someone else's home, we can't make things difficult for the host—never mind."
Wei Wei ignored her and forcefully shook off her hand: "When I was wronged just now, why didn't you, my dear aunt, tell others not to bully me? I am your family, not your enemy. You should be on my side!"
Madam Meng was speechless for a moment.
I never expected Wei Wei to be so bold, not even giving me face!
Anger flashed in her eyes, her face flushed red, and she managed to choke out, "You're the junior! Even if your elders are criticizing you, it's for your own good!"
Wei Wei tilted her head and said "Oh": "No wonder Second Uncle called you a jinx, it seems he really is!"
This angered Madam Meng so much that she fainted.
No one dared to say anything reckless, for fear of becoming the one who would embarrass themselves again.
Wei Wei's gaze fell on the lady's face again, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Madam Zhang, a bet is a bet, everyone is watching."
Mrs. Zhang was breathing heavily. If it weren't for the fact that Miss Jiang, who had invited her today, seemed to have a very powerful backer, she would have already turned her back and left!
Now all we can do is grit our teeth and swallow our anger!
"sorry!"
She ground her molars and said angrily.
Wei Wei was finally satisfied.
"It's just a matter of saying a few words, why make everyone feel bad?"
She smiled, then turned to look at Madam Meng, "Second Aunt, don't you think so?"
You big dummy!
Madam Meng pretended not to see it and immediately turned her head to the other side.
Seeing her looking so upset, Wei Wei lowered her head and touched her nose.
It's really quite funny.
The strange atmosphere was quickly broken when someone hurriedly came out of the main entrance and announced loudly, "Miss Jiang has arrived."
The strange tone of voice and the serious posture made Wei Wei wonder if a high-ranking official had come in person.
A hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes, and then her gaze fixed on the woman whose face had been revealed.
Dressed in white like a fairy, she stood in front of the tall gate, smiling with great joy: "Thank you all for coming. Please come in and rest."
When Wei Wei looked at her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her extremely beautiful fox-like eyes also turned towards her.
Miss Jiang's smile deepened, but her eyes turned cold as she turned and went inside first.
Her appearance brought the previously silent scene to life again.
Of course, all the comments were praise.
"Miss Jiang is so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, that aura... we can't find anyone like it in the entire Loucheng!"
The old women at the door smiled and invited everyone in, clearly very satisfied with their assessment.
Even Madam Zhang and Madam Meng, who had lost all face and dignity, quickly straightened their clothes and eagerly followed the crowd inside.
If Wei Wei hadn't witnessed Jiang Changhe's true colors at Chunfeng Tower that day, she would have been completely fooled by his appearance.
For no other reason than that it is simply too perfect.
Someone squeezed in next to me.
Wei Wei turned her head to look and saw the round-faced woman she had just noticed.
“My name is Wei Cheng, and my husband’s surname is Qi.”
Wei Cheng walked beside her with a smile and her head down, saying, "You were really amazing just now, you managed to convince them all by yourself!"
Wei Wei's expression was somewhat complicated. In her previous life, it would have been twenty-two years before they met again.
But now we unexpectedly meet here.
It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing either.
"My name is Wei Wei."
She composed herself and said, "My husband's family name is Meng, and I almost caused their family to be destroyed because of me."
Wei Cheng covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Those ladies are too idle on weekdays, they always love to listen to other people's gossip."
"If it were just something to listen to, that would be enough, but instead he speaks like a savior, all righteous and self-righteous."
She looked around and whispered, "It's really annoying."
Her smile was extremely joyful, her curved eyes like the bright moon.
Where did that bitter look from later come from?
Wei Wei felt much better and asked her with sparkling eyes, "You don't hate me?"
Wei Cheng shook her head: "I don't dislike it, I just think it's very courageous!"
Wei Wei smiled, but quickly stopped smiling.
She saw Jiang Changhe at the front, smiling and talking to someone, and a chill ran through her.
What would happen if she saw the two targets playing together?
She didn't dare to gamble.
Wei Wei closed her eyes, turned around and walked towards Madam Meng, who was not far away.
Wei Cheng was quite surprised when Wei Wei left without saying a word. However, Wei Wei did not turn around or explain. She opened her mouth, but ultimately did not call her again.
The Jiang residence was very large, and it had been uninhabited for a long time before they moved in.
Logically speaking, it should have been dilapidated, but after everyone entered, they discovered that every part of the pavilions and terraces was exquisite.
If it weren't for a wealthy family background, how could one accomplish all of this in such a short time?
Those present were all businessmen, and they had very sharp eyes.
The thought of the extraordinary gifts they received three days ago filled them with immense excitement.
In their eyes, this young Miss Jiang has undoubtedly become a highly sought-after person.
They jostled each other to speak with Miss Jiang, their tone familiar and subtly ingratiating.
The young lady who had just arrived in Loucheng was already placed in the highest position in everyone's hearts.
Wei Wei followed at a distance from Madam Meng, who had lost face and therefore hadn't tried to curry favor with her, keeping her head down and remaining silent the entire time.
When Wei Wei arrived at the waiting room, she felt her sleeve being tugged.
She turned around, and Wei Cheng was already in front of her again, looking at her with a hesitant expression.
Wei Wei immediately put her hand to her lips to stop her from speaking, glanced around, and then asked in a low voice, "Can you go to Ping'an Temple tomorrow?"
Wei Cheng was taken aback, but the light of disappointment in her eyes brightened again. She nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Wei Wei's eyes lit up with a smile: "Don't tell your husband or family, I'll be waiting for you there."
Seeing the confusion in Wei Cheng's eyes, but ultimately she nodded, and she smiled with satisfaction before turning and walking away again.
The Jiang family's reception room was very large, with seating arranged on both sides. After everyone sat down, they began to chat.
When thirsty, there's flower dew; when hungry, there's snacks.
Before long, a continuous feast was served, and the time passed quickly amidst eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing.
Sitting in the main seat, Jiang Changhe, whether intentionally or unintentionally, suddenly began to talk about his family's origins.
“My ancestral home is Loucheng, but I had already settled in the capital with my family before I was born.”
"I've come here to find my relatives."
