"Hey, Yunzhi, is this your mother? My birthday is in a few days. Let's go to a private restaurant to celebrate. It's been a long time since we've spoken."
"You won't refuse your mother on this once-a-year occasion, will you?"
Jiang's mother spoke in a rare gentle tone. She was used to being cold to Jiang Yunzhi, and she was a little unaccustomed to being so close to her all of a sudden.
"Oh, right, remember to invite your husband too, the whole family should be together."
Across from her, Jiang Yunzhi remained silent for a long time until her mother frowned and showed an impatient expression.
The next second, Jiang Yunzhi's voice came through.
--"good."
Jiang's mother finally smiled and gave Jiang Lulu an "OK" sign.
The mother and daughter exchanged no further pleasantries and hung up the phone.
“Lulu, you’re right. I’m her mother. She wouldn’t dare not come to such an important event as her birthday, or she would be called unfilial.”
The upper class cares most about their reputation and image.
From an angle unseen by Jiang's mother, Jiang Lulu's mouth was practically splitting into a grin. Jiang Yunzhi was just a nobody; she could easily handle her.
...
On the day of Jiang's mother's birthday, they went to a high-end private restaurant.
Jiang Yunzhi arrived late, and when she opened the door, the Jiang family was already waiting.
The private room was filled with the faint fragrance of osmanthus.
Jiang Lulu broke the silence first, teasingly saying, "Sister, you're finally here! Your parents were starving while waiting for you. Did you do this on purpose? Don't be so naughty next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's faces darkened.
Despite being attacked by the green tea, Jiang Yunzhi smiled and calmly sat down, saying, "Let's eat if you're hungry, I'm hungry too."
"..." Everyone else fell silent.
Jiang Ceheng was immediately enraged, but remembering that Jiang Lulu had told him beforehand not to lose his temper, as she would teach Jiang Yunzhi a lesson, he managed to suppress his anger.
Jiang Lulu looked on anxiously: "Where's my brother-in-law? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Jiang Yunzhi suddenly laughed, "Why are you in such a hurry if he arrives a little later?"
Oh, she didn't tell Yan Wenjing at all that he wouldn't be coming.
Who knows what kind of trouble the Jiang family will cause this time?
Jiang Lulu: "No rush, no rush."
He turned his head, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
The Jiang family's invitation to Jiang Yunzhi was certainly not just for a birthday celebration.
Mr. Jiang wanted an invitation to a cocktail party, an invitation only the most prestigious and wealthy families were eligible to attend. Clearly, the Jiang family was not among those invited.
Jiang's father asked Jiang Yunzhi to ask Yan Wenjing for an invitation letter, saying, "For Mr. Yan, it's a piece of cake, just a matter of a word."
"We'll have your brother attend then, so he can get to know some top-tier people. We're all family, and it's only right that Mr. Yan mentors his brother-in-law."
Jiang Yunzhi mentally counted "6".
Mr. Jiang then delivered another paternalistic speech, "Your investment in that little movie was obviously a losing proposition. You should just get out of there. What investment acumen could a woman like you have? You should stay at home and give Mr. Yan a son..."
Jiang Yunzhi remained silent, simply eating dry rice.
Jiang Lulu added fuel to the fire, nodding and saying, "Dad is right, sister, you have to be good."
Jiang Yunzhi raised her head at this moment, "Yes, hearing your words is like hearing a lecture."
Father Jiang: ?
We ate dinner and cut the cake.
Jiang Yunzhi's face flushed slightly, she felt a bit stuffy, and her palms were sweating.
There's air conditioning in the private room, that shouldn't be the case.
"Why isn't my brother-in-law here yet?!" Jiang Lulu lost her patience, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.
Seeing her breathing rapidly, Jiang Yunzhi leaned closer and asked, "Are you hot?"
Jiang Lulu coughed lightly, a little guilty, "No."
"Sister, you should call your brother-in-law and urge him to come over."
She pretended to snatch Jiang Yunzhi's phone.
Jiang Yunzhi nimbly dodged her, saying, "Always fantasizing that other people's things are yours, that's a bit of a weird problem. You should go see a psychiatrist for treatment."
Jiang Lulu: "..."
Seeing Jiang Yunzhi leave the private room, she panicked and immediately sent a message.
Damn it, Yan Wenjing is not coming at all. She's been completely fooled by Jiang Yunzhi.
"Sister, then don't blame me."
Jiang Yunzhi was about to go downstairs when suddenly a figure blocked her way.
He was a middle-aged man, wearing a gray shirt and jeans, with a large beer belly.
He extended his hand to her, "Little beauty, would you like to play a game with Uncle?"
Jiang Yunzhi smiled with a gentle and innocent expression and said, "Okay."
