His Card

In the crowd in front, the man's sharp gaze shot over. Jiang Jiu looked up and saw Lu Jinxing's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile on his thin lips.

This man was really heartless. She was his wife after all. Wasn't he afraid of losing face?

Jiang Jiu's heart was as clear as a mirror. If she looked forward to Lu Jinxing's help, she would definitely be daydreaming. Marrying into the Lu family was not her intention. She was also forced into a corner.

At this moment, Gu Anning was using the matter as an excuse. The gift was just an excuse, and she would definitely continue to make things difficult for her. There were two options in front of Jiang Jiu. She could either lower her head or shut the other party up!

At the thought of this, Jiang Jiu already had a plan in mind. However, before she could speak, someone beat her to it.

"Gu Anning, are you short of gifts?"

Someone spoke behind her. Jiang Jiu didn't turn around, but she knew who it was. She frowned and wanted to end the matter quickly.

"Second Young Master Song." Gu Anning's expression changed slightly when she saw who it was.

Song Shaoshi put his hands in his pockets and stared at Gu Anning sharply. "When did the Gu family fall to this state? Why do they have to use the birthday banquet to collect gifts from everyone?!"

The Second Young Master of the Song family spoke without any scruples. He was doted on by his parents and brothers at home, and he had a good appearance. He had always done whatever he wanted.

Although Gu Anning was willful, she wouldn't take the initiative to make an enemy of Song Shaoshi. She smiled faintly and said, "Second Young Master, you're joking. Our Gu family's foundation is very stable. Today is my birthday, so the guests present should send their blessings and congratulatory gifts. This is the most basic etiquette."

Her words were neither soft nor hard, but it was obvious that if Jiang Jiu couldn't take out a gift, that meant she didn't know the etiquette.

Ever since Song Shaoshi appeared, there had clearly been more people watching the show. The people here didn't know Jiang Jiu, so they didn't know the relationship between Jiang Jiu and Song Shaoshi. However, Gu Anning did. She looked up and glanced at Lu Jinxing with her beautiful eyes.

What right did a notorious and despicable daughter like the Jiang family have to marry into the Lu family? How was she worthy of Lu Jinxing?!

The women were fighting openly and covertly. There was no smoke, but it was turbulent and intense. Gu Anning glared at Jiang Jiu's exquisite face, wishing she could gouge a few holes out.

Not only did this woman in front of her snatch the position of the Lu family's Third Young Madam, but she also drugged Lu Jinxing…

At the thought of this, the flames of jealousy in Gu Anning's heart soared and the words in her mouth became even more vicious. "I heard that Second Young Master's current girlfriend's surname is Lin. I wonder what Miss Lin will think if she sees Second Young Master protecting his ex-girlfriend?"

"Gu Anning, be careful with your words!" Song Shaoshi's face darkened and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu's expression was calm, and there was no fluctuation in her eyes.

Someone approached with a glass of wine, and discussions broke out around them. Jiang Jiu opened her leather bag, took out something, and casually placed it on the silver wine tray beside her.

Pa!

It was a black gold-embossed card with someone's exclusive logo on it. The people standing far away naturally couldn't see it clearly, but when the people nearby saw this card, their expressions changed.

Jiang Jiu's voice was not loud, and her black eyes were clear. "Here's your gift. We'll take our leave."

With that, she pulled Jiang Xi and walked out without looking back.

The bright mark on the black card instantly made Gu Anning clench her fists. That was a mark that belonged only to Lu Jinxing. Only the closest person to Lu Jinxing could have it.

At the side, Song Shaoshi turned around and strode out of the banquet hall after seeing the card.

"Jiang Jiu."

The footsteps behind her stopped Jiang Jiu. She stopped and stuffed the car keys into her friend's hands. "Wait for me in the car first."

Jiang Xi was worried and only left after receiving Jiang Jiu's comforting gaze.

In the corridor covered in a deep-blue carpet, crystal lights were dazzling. Jiang Jiu's gaze was calm, and her heart was even calmer.

"You married into the Lu family to take revenge on me, right?" Song Shaoshi's tone was firm.

"Heh."

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but chuckle. "Second Young Master's narcissism really needs to be medicated."

Hearing this, Song Shaoshi's eyes turned cold.

"Everyone in Yun City knows that I drugged Lu Jinxing and climbed into his bed." Jiang Jiu said word by word calmly. "Speaking of which, you contributed to this. If you hadn't broken off the engagement in public, I probably wouldn't have had this chance in my life."

"…"

Song Shaoshi's expression was ugly and he pursed his thin lips tightly. "Jiang Jiu, you're too naive. What kind of man is Lu Jinxing? He's openly showing off with a female companion today and doesn't care about you at all. He was inside just now, but he watched Gu Anning make things difficult for you and didn't say a word. Let me tell you, Lu Jinxing is definitely not a good person. You'll only be tortured to death by him!"

"It's enough that he gave me the identity of Mrs. Lu."

Jiang Jiu's tone was unhurried as she said, "Do you know what it feels like to be abandoned like a rag?"

"Do you know that rumors can kill?"

"Do you know what it's like to be alone and suffer all the cold gazes and vicious curses of the world?"

"…"

"Song Shaoshi, I said that day that from the moment you left, we would go our separate ways and never interact with each other again."

"…"

Never to see each other again? Song Shaoshi stared at her closely and saw the faint smile on her lips.

This smile suddenly made Song Shaoshi flustered. This feeling was far more nervous and uneasy than when he had been rejected countless times when he pursued Jiang Jiu.

Song Shaoshi moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but Jiang Jiu had already turned around and walked away.

At the corner of the banquet hall, Lu Jinxing looked up slightly and stared at Jiang Jiu's departing figure with deep dark eyes. So on the day of the wedding, because of those "fearful rumors", she didn't hesitate to offend him and used black and white photos to force him to appear?

Haha.

She suffered from another man, but she used her schemes on him? Lu Jinxing narrowed his eyes. He was unhappy no matter how he thought about it!

Jiang Jiu didn't say a word for the entire afternoon. Although the incident at noon had passed, she was extremely uneasy. That black card was a betrothal gift from the Lu family, and Jiang Jiu had no intention of touching it. Now that she had thrown it to Gu Anning, she wondered if that man…

The phone on the table rang. When she saw the caller ID, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. As expected, she shouldn't think about it. What she was afraid of came true.

Not long after, Jiang Jiu drove to Zun Ting Clubhouse. When she came in, there was no obstruction along the way. Clearly, someone had arranged this. The entire clubhouse was booked tonight, and the atmosphere was lively.

The first floor was spacious. The booths were rearranged into a few huge round tables.

"Third Sister-in-law." Someone shouted from the other side. Jiang Jiu looked over and frowned.

There were six to seven people sitting around the round table in front of him. Lu Jinxing sat at the side with his legs crossed, looking lazy.

"Come here." Lu Jinxing smiled and hooked his finger.

Jiang Jiu walked over and was pulled to sit beside him.

"You're here so late?" The man wrapped one hand around her waist. When he spoke, his fiery breath landed beside her ear.

Jiang Jiu shrunk her shoulders in discomfort and inadvertently looked up, almost screaming in fear.

On the other side of the round table, Song Shaoshi and Lin Yin were facing them.

"Tonight, Second Young Master Song is celebrating his girlfriend's birthday. We're also here to ask for a wedding banquet." Lu Jinxing's voice was half-smiling, and Jiang Jiu's scalp went numb.

Usually, Lu Jinxing and Song Shaoshi did not play in the same circle. The two of them minded their own business. Something was clearly wrong tonight.
