The Jiang family.
Jiang Boyan sat on the carpet in the living room, holding a newspaper in her hand. She smiled foolishly as she tore the newspaper apart.
Madam Lin and Madam Chen looked at each other. It seemed that the young lady’s illness had not improved at all.
In fact, Jiang Boyan was reading the contents of the newspaper. Although it looked like she was tearing it apart very quickly, she was actually speed reading it. She could read ten lines at a glance, and the contents of the newspaper were firmly imprinted in her mind.
The Jiang family had been on the front page for a week. Now that there was new news, the bad news about the Jiang family would naturally be on the front page.
The nation’s memory was very short.
It would not be long before no one would pursue the matters of the Jiang family anymore. Jiang Meng’s brainless fans would still come back one after another.
Jiang Boyan’s previous tricks only gave the Jiang family a headache for a short while.
This was not enough.
“We’re celebrating my fiancée’s birthday next Friday at 7pm. The birthday party will be held at the Jinjiang Hotel. Please come. I’ll personally pick you up at the door.”
Lin Che’s words echoed in Jiang Boyan’s ears. A plan flooded her mind.
“Young Master Ji sent you this season’s best branded clothes. How thoughtful!” Madam Lin’s voice interrupted Jiang Boyan’s thoughts.
There were a lot of things in the living room. Madam Lin and Madam Chen took out brand new and beautiful dresses from the bags. They could not help but exclaim, “They’re really beautiful. They really suit you. It would be great if you aren’t sick. Otherwise, you would be able to wear these beautiful clothes out.”
Jiang Boyan looked at the clothes. Although she was reluctant, she could not help but exclaim at Ji Han’s taste. Every piece of clothing matched her taste, especially those high-end gowns. They were really gorgeous.
Although Ji Han had said those ambiguous words before, he had never really done anything excessive to her. Now, he had sent these clothes and dresses. What was he trying to do?
To Ji Han, was she a substitute for his sister, or a woman that could be used to vent his lust?
Would he really send people after her to kill her if she really disappeared?
Jiang Boyan could not figure out what Ji Han was thinking at all.
Suddenly, Jiang Boyan realized that she was thinking about Ji Han again. She was just thinking about how to deal with the Jiang Corporation.
Jiang Boyan crumpled the newspaper in her hand and cleared those messy thoughts out of her mind.
Friday arrived very quickly.
The Jinjiang Hotel was the largest hotel in the city and a symbol of the status of the rich.
The dressing room was brightly lit, and three or four makeup artists helped Jiang Meng put on her complicated dress.
Tonight’s banquet was specially held for her.
For this banquet, the Jiang family spent a huge amount of money to custom-make this dress for her. It was made by five tailors, and the tender yellow color even complemented her delicate skin. Layers of complicated patterns, gold and silver threads crisscrossed, it formed an exquisite and peerless pattern. The hem of the dress was in an arc from high to low, elegantly rising and falling to the ground. It was incomparably gorgeous.
“Oh my God, she really looks like a princess.”
Jiang Meng’s best friends stood by the side and expressed heartfelt praises.
“Jiang Meng, the Jiang family is really generous. In order to hold a birthday banquet for you, they directly booked the 21st floor,” said one of them, Liu Xin.
Jiang Meng was so proud of herself.
The Jinjiang Hotel was the most expensive hotel in the entire capital. A simple meal here could cost an ordinary family five years’ worth of living expenses, let alone an entire floor.
Moreover, it was a symbol of status.
Those who did not have power could not come here to eat even if they were rich. Eating here also required a certain level of power and status. Such an unreasonable approach was unique in Z Country. Many people who only had money but no background wanted to have a meal in Jinjiang just to prove their status.
Jiang Meng smiled proudly, “It’s just a small matter.”
Actually, the one who arranged the birthday party and booked this floor was Lin Che. Lin Che was the second young master of the Lin Corporation. It was because his father made an appearance which helped his image. Thus, he was able to hold a birthday party for Jiang Meng at the Jinjiang Hotel, which symbolized his status.
Lin Che treated Jiang Meng very well.
However, Lin Che was not the man she wanted.
“Oh right, the Jiang family invited a lot of rich men this time. Jiang Meng, there are so many rich and handsome men tonight. Who do you like?” Another close friend asked.
Jiang Meng sat in front of the mirror and picked up the necklace on the table. “They’re just friends. They’re just here to give me birthday wishes. What do you mean? Do you like them?”
Liu Xin sighed. “Those rich and powerful men are all your friends? That’s great. If you don’t like them, just introduce them to me.”
A staff member took the diamond necklace from Jiang Meng and helped her put it on. Jiang Meng smiled faintly and looked at Liu Xin in the mirror. “Who do you like?”
“The second young master of the Lin Corporation. He’s the most outstanding among those rich second generation.”
Liu Xin turned the ring on her hand in embarrassment. “I saw Lin Che when I came in. He’s so handsome. I’ll have to trouble Mengmeng to assist me then!”
In order to gain more attention from her fans, even her best friends did not know that she already had a boyfriend a long time ago.
Jiang Meng glanced at Liu Xin and sneered in her heart. With that ordinary face, she still wanted to seduce Lin Che? In her dreams!
“Lin Che? Where is he?” Jiang Meng did not answer Liu Xin’s question. Instead, she threw out the question and diverted her attention.
“He seems to be looking for someone. He keeps staring at the entrance without blinking.”
As Liu Xin spoke, she looked at the expensive accessories on Jiang Meng with jealousy.
Staring at the entrance?
Jiang Meng’s expression instantly turned ugly. Lin Che was looking for Jiang Boyan. Why would Jiang Boyan come to her birthday party?
The party began.
The piano music was beautiful and the lights were hypnotic. There were exquisite desserts and expensive champagne on the long banquet tables. Even the floor was covered with beautiful flower petals. It was as if they had accidentally entered some fairyland. It was too beautiful to be real.
When they looked in from the outside, it really did look like a fairytale had come to life on Earth.
Jiang Meng had invited all the young masters of the capital’s rich families. Not only did they have power that ordinary people could never attain in their entire lifetimes, but they also had countless amounts of money. Also, they were all very young.
The piano music came to an abrupt end, and the gorgeous lights slowly dimmed.
The birthday party was about to begin.
A beam of light made everyone look in her direction. Jiang Meng sat on the vine-woven swing and slowly descended. The pale yellow gown she wore matched the vine swing decorated with small flowers. She wore a vine-woven crown, however, it just so happened to offset the rouge and pink aura brought about by the luxurious jewellery. She was like a fairy that was born on Earth.
Jiang Meng turned her face and gently hummed the tune of the song. The headset transmitted her singing voice to every corner.
There was once someone who said that Jiang Meng had a good voice that she had been kissed by an angel. Indeed, her voice was soft but not flawless. At this moment, everyone could not take their eyes away from her.
Jiang Meng caught a glimpse of those people’s admiring eyes from the corner of her eyes. She was so proud that she was about to burst with it.
Following Jiang Meng’s singing, the swing inched lower and lower until it brought her to ground level.
Under the guidance of another spotlight, Lin Che slowly approached Jiang Meng and extended his hand to her.
With a faint smile, Jiang Meng put her hand in Lin Che’s.
The two of them entered the dance floor.
All the guests were staring at the two of them. Jiang Meng was extremely satisfied. She loved this feeling of being the center of attention.
“Mengmeng, you look really good today.”
Lin Che danced gracefully with her. His hand rested on Jiang Meng’s waist and his eyes were filled with wonder.
“Ah Che, I’m very happy. I really like this birthday banquet.”
Jiang Meng gently clung onto Lin Che’s shoulder like an unsteady flower.
It was a pity that the man in front of her was not Ji Han. Otherwise, she would have become the rival of all the women in the capital.
“I still have a special gift for you.”
Lin Che whispered softly into Jiang Meng’s ear.
Could it be that he had bought a gorgeous necklace for her? Could it be the vintage bag that she had shown Lin Che a picture of a while ago?
As Jiang Meng tried to guess, the opening dance came to an end.
“Mengmeng, look who I’ve invited!”
Lin Che smiled and turned around.. Jiang Meng followed his gaze and her expression instantly changed.
