Attract Trouble

The commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall successfully attracted everyone's attention. When Jiang Wanming saw who it was, his expression was extremely unnatural. Tonight, Jiang Ran was in charge of the charity banquet. The Jiang family had to be present, but Lu Jinxing openly appeared with a female companion. He was clearly trampling on the Jiang family's face.

Because of tonight's banquet, Shu Hong specially chose a white gown. The silky texture, waist-hugging design, and a few crystal ornaments embedded at the collar perfectly outlined Jiang Jiu's tall figure. At this moment, the light makeup on her face made her already exquisite facial features even more beautiful and moving.

Shu Hong looked at her daughter's outfit. "Didn't you say that you were getting along very well with Third Young Master?"

"Indeed." Jiang Jiu's expression was calm.

Recently, Lu Jinxing had not found trouble with her and she could live a peaceful life. Wasn't that good?

Shu Hong's face darkened. This girl had a strange personality. If others could marry into a rich family like the Lu family, they would definitely try their best to please Lu Jinxing. However, she was indifferent when she saw her husband showing off with a female companion.

Although she was angry, Shu Hong couldn't flare up because of the occasion. Originally, she had planned to have the backing of the shining son-in-law, the Third Young Master of the Lu family, but now, her expectations were dashed.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wanming left with Shu Hong and hurriedly walked to their eldest daughter's side. They smiled and accompanied her, afraid that others would discover that the Jiang family still had another daughter.

"Jiujiu." Jiang Xi glared at the well-dressed couple not far away with a conflicted expression. "Lu Jinxing's face is too perfect. I really can't do it, but I won't show mercy to the woman beside him."

"No!" Jiang Jiu calmed her friend down. "You're not allowed to get involved in my matters. Just look at the handsome man."

Jiang Xi's eyes darkened. "Damn it, these men are scumbags! Why am I not a man? If I were a man, I would definitely marry you and dote on you."

Although her good friend's words were a joke, Jiang Jiu's heart was still warmed by them. She casually picked up a cookie and stuffed it into her mouth. She teased, "I don't need a man to dote on me. It's enough as long as you dote on me."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Xi nodded vigorously. The two of them were like biological sisters.

Tonight's charity banquet was just a gathering for the upper-class circle to show off their reputation and status. Jiang Ran was wearing a black evening gown. Her long hair reached her waist and she looked like a goddess. She had won an award in her last movie and had been in the limelight recently. The Jiang couple was naturally proud of their eldest daughter.

Jiang Ran stood in the crowd and welcomed the guests. She also introduced her connections to Jiang Wanming.

Seeing her sister obediently curry favor with her parents, Jiang Jiu's eyes flickered. It was as if she had been like this since she was young. She would always be abandoned in a corner, as if she was a stranger.

Such a gathering was boring, and her appearance tonight had clearly disappointed her parents.

Jiang Jiu smiled and looked at Lu Jinxing, who was surrounded by everyone, through the crowd. Su Qing, who was standing beside the man, happened to look over. When their eyes met, her gaze was provocative.

The last time she was chased out by the Lu family's servants in public, Su Qing had lost a lot of face. She originally thought that her life would not be easy and that she would even be banned.

Jiang Jiu laughed self-deprecatingly. Even if this woman provoked Madam Lu, she would be safe with Lu Jinxing's support.

After a moment, Jiang Jiu retracted her gaze. Jiang Xi, who had been there just now, had already walked away. By the opposite window, a handsome man was chatting with Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi's face was slightly red and she looked shy.

Jiang Jiu shook her head. That girl was in love. She had been in many relationships in the past few years and could be considered a veteran in love.

The charity banquet was to collect donations. Jiang Jiu had no money or support, so staying would only be a waste of time. She didn't want to ruin Jiang Xi's romantic encounter, so she planned to leave alone first.

"Miss Jiang."

The voice behind her was not unfamiliar. Jiang Jiu turned around and saw Lin Yin smiling.

"I saw Third Young Master over there. Why don't Miss Jiang go over?"

Almost every time they met, Lin Yin would appear in front of Jiang Jiu with this innocent and harmless face. Her face was slightly pale and she had a sickly weak look. She didn't look aggressive at all.

Weak?

Jiang Jiu frowned. "Since you know about Lu Jinxing and my relationship, what do you mean by calling me Miss Jiang?"

"I…" Lin Yin was stunned for a moment before explaining, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just used to calling you Miss Jiang. Don't misunderstand."

Heh.

Jiang Jiu stared at the apologetic expression that Lin Yin instantly revealed, and her eyes turned cold. "You deliberately led your step brother to take revenge on me and resolved the obstacle of inheritance. Do you have any other intentions?"

Hearing this, Lin Yin's expression changed, but she quickly returned to normal. "Miss Jiang, I don't understand what you're saying. Did my stepbrother do something to you?"

Actually, Jiang Jiu didn't have many opinions about Lin Yin. She always thought that the broken engagement was a problem between her and Song Shaoshi. That day, Young Master Song said that she wasn't the one he loved. His words shattered Jiang Jiu's persistence.

But today, Jiang Jiu realized that Song Shaoshi had fallen in love with such a woman.

"Lin Yin." Jiang Jiu didn't like to beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Song Shaoshi has already turned the page for me. You've found the wrong enemy."

"…"

Lin Yin clenched her fists by her sides.

"Yinyin!"

Song Ting rushed over. When she saw Jiang Jiu, she suddenly raised her voice. "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Xi, who was exchanging WeChat, retracted her smile and found an excuse to leave the young man's side. She strode over. "We're here for the charity banquet tonight."

As she spoke, Jiang Xi stood beside Jiang Jiu in a protective stance.

Jiang Jiu knew the woman who spoke. She was Song Shaoshi's sister, the third daughter of the Song family.

"Hmph." Song Ting was arrogant. The way she looked at Jiang Jiu changed from jealousy to gloating. "How funny. Third Young Master brought a female companion to attend. Why are you still here?"

"The proper wife is here. What's the point of having a female companion?" Jiang Xi retorted.

"You!"

Although Lu Jinxing brought a female companion to attend tonight, it was a fact that Jiang Jiu married into the Lu family. Song Ting was also present on the day of the wedding. She saw Jiang Jiu standing beside Lu Jinxing and transforming into the Lu family's Third Young Madam.

"Oh, it's so lively." When Gu Anning appeared, Jiang Xi couldn't help but curse.

Damn it, these b*tches were all here!

Jiang Jiu frowned. She was born to attract trouble.

At a wine table not far away, Lu Jinxing had one hand in his pocket and saw Jiang Jiu surrounded by a few people. The banquet hall was brightly lit. She was dressed in white and had a little makeup on, but it was enough to cause a city to fall.
