Helping Her For the First Time

"Second Brother."

Song Ting ran to Song Shaoshi's side and complained first, "Did you see that? Yinyin's necklace was broken by Jiang Jiu!"

"Song Ting, stop spouting nonsense!" Jiang Xi glared. "Which eye of yours saw the necklace being torn by Jiujiu?"

"I saw it." With Song Shaoshi by her side, Song Ting was fearless.

"Shaoshi, the broken necklace has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. I was careless," Lin Yin said at the right time with an understanding and charitable expression.

Song Shaoshi narrowed his eyes and looked straight at the person opposite him. His expression was very cold.

It happened so suddenly that many people around them heard the commotion and came to join in the fun. Now that they saw Song Shaoshi appear, more and more guests gathered.

Jiang Xi regretted it. If she had known earlier, she would have ignored Song Ting's provocation. Now that Jiang Jiu was involved, those people were clearly doing it on purpose.

"I broke the necklace." Jiang Xi snorted. "How much is it? I'll pay you!"

The Jiang family did not lack this bit of money. Jiang Xi did not want to make things difficult for Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu glanced at her good friend and frowned elegantly. Jiang Xi thought that money could resolve it? This matter was clearly premeditated.

"Money?" Song Ting continued with a mocking expression. "This pearl necklace is an antique. Second Brother specially bought it as a gift for Yinyin. He's donating the necklace tonight. No amount of money is enough."

"Crazy!" Jiang Xi was furious. She pulled Jiang Jiu and was about to leave.

"Stop—"

Song Shaoshi put his hands in his pockets and blocked the way. "Who asked you to leave?"

The Second Young Master of the Song family had always been arrogant. Jiang Jiu looked at him. "Song Shaoshi, do you believe what they said?"

Hearing this, a smile gradually appeared in Song Shaoshi's deep black eyes. Didn't he know his sister's personality? Song Ting had always disliked Jiang Jiu. In the past, she often badmouthed Jiang Jiu, but at that time, he would always teach Song Ting a lesson and not allow her to criticize his girlfriend.

But now…

Song Shaoshi's gaze landed on the red mark on Jiang Jiu's neck again. He pursed his thin lips tightly. "You want to leave after breaking my things?"

As he spoke, he kept staring at Jiang Jiu and didn't look at Lin Yin.

As expected, this man was blind.

Jiang Jiu's face turned cold. "What do you want?"

Song Shaoshi laughed. He reached out and pulled Lin Yin to his side. "I want you to apologize to my girlfriend."

The words 'girlfriend' made Jiang Jiu's heart clench. On the day he confessed to her in school, Song Shaoshi stopped her in front of the school building and said gently and domineeringly, "Little girl, be my girlfriend. I'll treat you well." Unfortunately, he was just joking with her. The woman standing beside him now was his true love.

"What happened?"

The encirclement here was too big. Jiang Ran walked over quickly. After hearing what had happened, she couldn't help but walk up to Song Shaoshi. "Second Young Master, the banquet has already begun. Can we talk in private?"

"No." When Song Shaoshi threw a tantrum, he didn't give anyone face. "This matter is quite simple. I want her to apologize to my girlfriend."

"Song Shaoshi, don't go too far. This has nothing to do with Jiujiu. Are you blind?!" Jiang Xi retorted bluntly.

"How can you say that? I clearly saw that she was the one who broke the necklace." Gu Anning's lips curled up slightly and she interfered indignantly.

Jiang Xi finally realized that those people were all in cahoots.

The Second Young Master of the Song family and the daughter of the Gu family both insisted that the breaking of the necklace was related to Jiang Jiu. The focus of everyone's discussion instantly gathered. No one cared about the truth. Everyone was curious about how Jiang Jiu had offended the Song and Gu families.

Jiang Jiu's gaze was calm. "What if I don't apologize?"

Song Shaoshi's gaze was cold. Gu Anning stood rooted to the ground and stared at the man beside Su Qing, who was not far away. Her smile gradually faded.

Those women were really bold. Was the Third Young Master of the Lu family something they could dream of?

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Jiang Ran reacted quickly. "Second Young Master, I apologize on behalf of my sister."

Sister?!

The crowd exclaimed. Initially, everyone was just watching the show and did not know who Jiang Jiu was. However, everyone in Yun City knew that the second daughter of the Jiang family had married into the Lu family.

Wasn't the woman whom the Third Young Master of the Lu family was forced to marry the second daughter of the Jiang family?

"Aiyo, this woman is the one who forced Third Young Master to get married to her. How shameless!"

"Third Young Master brought a female companion here tonight and didn't take her seriously at all. If I were her, I would definitely hide at home obediently and not dare to come out. I'll embarrass myself."

"That's right. I wonder who gave her the courage to make a scene in front of Third Young Master? In the end, she got what she deserved. Third Young Master doesn't like her at all!"

Everyone discussed and looked at Jiang Jiu with blatant mockery. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lu Jinxing had openly brought a female companion tonight and didn't take the Third Young Madam of the Lu family seriously at all. How much did he despise her?

As if realizing that she had said something wrong, Jiang Ran subconsciously covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Jiu nervously. She lowered her voice and said, "I'm sorry, Jiu. I didn't think through what I said."

Didn't think it through? Jiang Jiu smiled. She was already used to her sister's "caring". She had experienced it too many times since she was young.

"It's okay." Jiang Jiu smiled faintly, her expression unchanged. It wasn't a secret that she wasn't well-liked by Lu Jinxing. On the day of the wedding, had she not received enough eye-rolling and mockery?

The smile on Jiang Ran's lips gradually turned cold. Although she was developing well in the entertainment industry and was getting famous, Jiang Jiu's marriage to the Lu family was enough to trample on all the women in Yun City.

'Why should she?'

Discussions broke out around them. Jiang Jiu became the center of attention again. This didn't feel good.

"Song Shaoshi." Jiang Jiu took half a step forward, her cold face devoid of a smile. "That necklace has nothing to do with me."

When she explained, the look in Song Shaoshi's eyes darkened. In the past, when they were together, he was the one who lowered his head first when there was an argument. Although he was the domineering and arrogant Second Young Master of the Song family outside, every time Jiang Jiu gave him the cold shoulder, he was always the first to be unable to stand it.

"Young Master." Lin Yin held the man's arm and whispered, "There are many people watching here. Let's not make a fuss."

These words seemed to remind Song Shaoshi. He raised his eyebrows and looked in front of him, his expression turning cold. That was the man Jiang Jiu had chosen? Heh, he had openly brought a female companion out. It was obvious that he didn't take her seriously.

"If I say it's related to you, then it is." Song Shaoshi frowned and looked at Jiang Jiu even colder. "Apologize. This is not up to you."

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Then, everyone automatically dispersed to the sides, making way for the middle passage.

The man had one hand in his pocket and walked over leisurely to meet everyone's surprised gazes. "Not up to who?"

Did these people treat Lu Jinxing as a dead person? Who were they looking down on?!

The voice behind her was familiar. Jiang Jiu was stunned and slowly turned around. Their eyes met and Lu Jinxing's extremely handsome face was reflected in the depths of her eyes.

Jiang Jiu's red lips moved slightly, and she was flustered by Lu Jinxing's gentle smile.
