Qin Zhen began to excitedly prepare what to wear to the banquet. When Si Lin got off work, she saw that the living room was filled with clothes hangers. Her mother was carefully choosing.
“Is there an important occasion you want to go to?” Si Lin asked.
Qin Zhen smiled and called her over. “I received an invitation to the Jiang family’s banquet. I have to dress well. Your and your brother’s names are written on the invitation.”
Si Lin was a little puzzled about the Jiang family’s intentions. After all, in their eyes, their mother was only a mistress and could not appear in front of others. Moreover, not only did they invite their mother, but they also invited her and her brother to go together.
She had to think more about it. After all, this was the most critical moment to compete with Si Cheng. Nothing must happen.
“Mother, did the old Si residence receive an invitation?” Si Lin asked.
Only then did Qin Zhen realize that something was wrong. She quickly called the servants at the Si residence. She had already bribed an old servant to be her spy. She did not have to do anything. She just had to pay attention to what happened at the old residence.
The servant quickly reported what had happened at home. Only then did Qin Zhen know what Zheng Wen had said during this period of time. She had been staying at home and was not accepted by the upper-cla.s.s circle at all, so she was the last to know a lot of news.
“What should we do? If Jiang An and Si Cheng remarry, then it’s useless for us to let your brother marry anyone.” Qin Zhen became anxious.
Si Lin didn’t think so. She sneered and said, “It’s just Zheng Wen’s one-sided story. Jiang An didn’t say anything about remarrying. Perhaps it’s that old woman’s wishful thinking. Many people are willing to marry the Jiang family’s daughter as long as she wants to. It’s not Si Cheng’s turn.”
Although Qin Zhen was beautiful, she was really not smart. However, she understood that she was not smart. She would listen to Si Ming and nurture her children with all her might after giving birth. Now, she would listen to the children.
“If that’s the case, why did the Jiang family invite Zheng Wen? They could have ignored her,” Qin Zhen asked.
Si Lin thought for a moment and said, “That old woman has been spouting nonsense outside recently. The Jiang family might have invited her to take revenge. It’s better for us not to get involved. The more the Jiang family hates her, the more beneficial it is for our family.”
The Jiang family’s invitation had already been sent out. Li Mei also began to prepare a gown for Jiang An. Looking at the sketch sent by the designer, Jiang An shook her head and said, “I don’t have to have a new gown made. I can still wear the previous one.”
“How can that do?” Li Mei disagreed. “Those gowns are for you to wear once. As long as you can’t appear in the same clothes in public, it’s not a waste. It’s because with your status at this level, you can’t let others look down on you.”
Since her mother had already said so, Jiang An could only listen. In the end, she chose a more elegant gown.
After choosing, she wanted to leave, but Li Mei pulled her back and said, “There’s still jewelry to choose from.”
This afternoon, Jiang An was dizzy. Moreover, Li Mei had called the people from the jewelry shop over. They brought a box of jewelry for Jiang An to choose from. There was a dazzling array of gems inside. It was simply blinding.
After returning to his room, Jiang An immediately called Zou Bai and said, “Mom values this banquet too much. She can’t wait to dress me up from head to toe.”
“This is also a way for Auntie to love you. After all, the image of a family like ours is very important. Your clothes will show if the family values you,” Zou Bai said. “Uncle and Auntie intend to let you take over the corporation. This is also to nurture you and teach you how to host these things.”
Of course, Jiang An understood this, so she only told Zou Bai about this. After that, she would still listen to her mother’s arrangements. She had been away from home for too long and needed to learn. It was originally something Jiang An should already know.
The entire Jiang family was preparing for this banquet. The three Jiang brothers were commanding the servants outside. At this moment, someone at the door came in and said, “Young Masters, someone outside said that they’re from the Zhao family in Jingdu City and want to visit Old Master and Madam.”
Jiang Yan frowned and said, “The Zhao family of Jingdu City doesn’t have much contact with us. Why did they suddenly say that they wanted to visit?”
The others could not understand either, but since they were already at the door, they could only meet them. Jiang Huai hurriedly went upstairs to tell his mother and sister to prepare to meet the guests.
Jiang An thought it was Zhao Lan when she heard that they were from the Zhao family. Unexpectedly, when she looked up from the sofa, she saw a smiling young man walking over..
