Three days later.
Weekend.
This weekend was of great significance to Ye Mengyao.
It was held at the largest five-star hotel in Hangcheng, with many representatives from first-tier and second-tier families in attendance.
After all, the Ye family's wealth in Hangcheng was among the top, and the birthday of the Ye family's daughter was a grand affair.
Ye Mengyao wore a black gown, with light makeup that accentuated her fair and smooth skin, making her look like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.
Almost flawless!
Many guests whispered among themselves.
"Wow... Ye family's daughter is so beautiful? If only she could become my daughter-in-law."
"Haha, what are you thinking? With your son's behavior, do you think she'd even look at him? Besides, I heard that even Jiang family's young master is pursuing her, but he's been rejected multiple times. If she doesn't even fancy the son of the richest man, do you think she'd look at our small family?"
"You can't deny it, Ye Changkong has indeed raised a true lady! The nobility in her is something our small families can never have."
Meanwhile, Ye Mengyao tightly gripped the edge of her dress, her gaze sweeping across the banquet hall, as if searching for someone.
"No way, Jiang Che promised me, didn't he? Is he going to break his word?"
Ye Mengyao was very anxious, she couldn't read Jiang Che's mind at all.
Jiang Che's attitude towards her was erratic, to say the least... and by "good," she meant he wasn't being mean to her.
But soon, her eyes landed on a young man in white.
Jiang Che!
Today, Jiang Che looked clean and handsome, which instantly threw Ye Mengyao's thoughts into chaos.
She had spent so much time with Jiang Che before, but never realized how handsome he could be when dressed up.
Or perhaps, she had just gotten used to his presence and failed to notice his looks. But now that Jiang Che was ignoring her... she found him incredibly attractive.
Thinking of this, Ye Mengyao couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
Am I... being cheap?
...
Most of the notable families in Hangcheng had arrived.
Jiang Yuan and Ye Changkong were deep in conversation, discussing business matters.
Jiang Yunli, although not particularly fond of Ye Mengyao, still put on a smile for the occasion and then went to find Yu Wan'er.
"Sweet Wan'er, here's a card from Sister Jiang. The password is 123456, and there's ten million inside. Consider it your private money from me."
Jiang Yunli pulled Yu Wan'er to a corner of the banquet and went straight for the big gesture.
Today, Yu Wan'er was also dressed beautifully in a white gown, clearly a smaller size, but Ye Mengyao, being naive, didn't begrudge her best friend. She had a professional designer create a fitting dress for Yu Wan'er, never considering that Yu Wan'er might steal the spotlight.
"No, no, Sister Jiang! I can't take it!"
Yu Wan'er was shocked, feeling the heat of the golden bank card in her hand.
Ten million?
She wasn't even worth ten million! Previously, she had kissed Jiang Che for just 200 yuan, and if Jiang Che used this to threaten her... she'd have to kiss him fifty thousand times to repay the debt!
Yu Wan'er was terrified, but Jiang Yunli seemed determined to give her the card.
"Wan'er, my little Che might be a bit reckless, so take this money to buy whatever you need. Besides, don't you need the money for your family too?"
Yu Wan'er finally understood. It seemed Sister Jiang thought she had been... so this was a consolation fee?
Heh, let alone that she hadn't been bullied by Jiang Che, even if she had, she wouldn't take this money!
"Sister Jiang, I really can't take it. If you force me, I won't call you Sister Jiang anymore..."
Jiang Yunli sighed. This girl was too stubborn, but her affection for Yu Wan'er grew even more.
"Sweet Wan'er, if little Che ever bullies you, tell me, and I'll help you beat him up."
Jiang Yunli hugged Yu Wan'er, her warm and big embrace almost suffocating.
Yu Wan'er: "......"
She listened, but of course, she didn't take it seriously!
Jiang Yunli was absolutely doting on Jiang Che, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get Yu Wan'er to live with Jiang Che.
"Sister Jiang, I'm leaving now."
Jiang Yunli sighed again, "Such a beautiful and lovely girl, why can't she be my daughter?"
She had always dreamed of having a daughter.
......
Jiang Che sat in a corner of the banquet, drinking by himself.
His gaze occasionally swept over Ye Mengyao. The gown she wore was indeed beautiful, with light makeup that couldn't conceal her natural beauty.
At this age, a girl was at her most beautiful, and the black dress made her look more mature.
Like a green berry ripening into perfection.
Soon, several girls started approaching Jiang Che.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm Bai Jie. Do you remember me? I'm also a student at Shilan School, and you once helped me!"
A girl about the same age as Jiang Che stepped up to him, extending her hand with a smile.
"Bai Jie?"
Jiang Che looked up at the girl, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment.
Low appearance!
Goodbye!
If Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er's looks were both 95 or above, then Bai Jie was at most 85, with heavy makeup that could scrape off enough foundation to make a meal. She might be a beauty without makeup, but compared to the others, she was clearly inferior.
The name Bai Jie was quite memorable. Although she was just a minor character in the original plot, her name... it was hard not to leave an impression!
At Ye Mengyao's birthday banquet, a girl from a second-tier family would harbor jealousy towards the perfect Ye Mengyao, then secretly drug her drink to embarrass her. However, the plan would be exposed, leading to the entire Bai family being implicated.
But shouldn't you be drugging Ye Mengyao's drink?
Could it be... Bai Jie was a fan of mine? In the script, because I was only pursuing Ye Mengyao, she harbored resentment towards her?
【Ye Mengyao! How dare you reject Jiang Che over and over? What do you think you are?】
【Jiang Che is mine, I met him first, how dare you steal his heart?】
Oh, guess I'm right, a little yandere fan girl!
"Shh... I'm watching YaoYao!"
Jiang Che made a shushing gesture, then gazed affectionately at Ye Mengyao.
Sure enough, Bai Jie's expression couldn't hold up, her lips tightly pressed together as she followed Jiang Che's gaze to Ye Mengyao.
The girl so perfect that she felt inferior just by looking at her.
The jealousy in Bai Jie's eyes was almost spilling over.
【You think you're such a perfect lady? I'll drug you and make you embarrass yourself in public! Die, you bitch!】
Jiang Che glanced at her. The show was about to begin!
