Jiang Chunlan returned home after her hurried journey.

This operation ended in failure, she didn’t obtain anything and instead, stirred up trouble.

The servant noticed Jiang Chunlan’s unhappy expression and brought her favorite flower tea, carefully saying, “Madam, Madam Zhu called you the day before yesterday.”

As expected, Jiang Chunlan’s face darkened.

“Tomorrow evening, the Zhus have prepared a welcome banquet in Qingyang for Ms. Zhu, and they invite you to attend.”

The servant observed Jiang Chunlan’s expression, knowing that Madam didn’t like the Zhus, but her impression of the new Ms. Zhu, was quite good. Usually, Madam wouldn’t attend such flashy banquets, but this time she wasn’t so sure.

Jiang Chunlan took a sip of the flower tea and after a while, indifferently said, “Arrange it.”

The servant thought to herself, this new Ms. Zhu must have some great influence.

“Aunt Lan, there’s a banquet tomorrow night, I want to go too.”

The teenager yawned as he lazily walked downstairs from the second floor, slumping onto the sofa, appearing boneless and sinking in.

Jiang Chunlan gave him a glance, ‘You sneaked to Jiangzhou, do you know how worried your parents are? Stop causing trouble and go back.” “I won’t go back, Jiangzhou is much more comfortable.”

“Is fighting comfortable? What did the Zhus’ young master do to you? It’s enough to have beaten him once, but you had to send him to jail.”

The teenager snorted, “I just didn’t like him, challenging me means he must pay the price.”

He then blew on his clenched fist.

Jiang Chunlan sighed helplessly, “Just do what you want.”

“Tomorrow night’s banquet is hosted by the Zhus, and you’ve beaten their son, so don’t add to the commotion. Stay home obediently, or else I’ll call Bai Ziyu to take you back.”

The teenager’s eyes rolled, and cleverly said, “The Zhus are hosting it? Then I have to go join the fun. Isn’t it said that the Zhus have a true and a fake daughter? It’s more exciting than a TV show, I want to see what’s different between them.”

Jiang Chunlan: …Is it too late to take back what I just said?

The Zhus’ welcome banquet was held in a grand manner in Qingyang, with invitations sent to almost all the celebrities in Jiangzhou.

The banquet began at six in the evening, and the guests arrived one after another.

“The scale of the banquet is not bad, it seems the Zhus have a good attitude towards their genuine daughter.”

“What are you thinking? She is their biological daughter after all, with blood ties. Just like our traditional wealthy families, we value bloodline the most. How could they possibly leave their property to a wild child of unknown origin?”

“But I’ve heard that Lin Qing doesn’t treat his biological daughter as well as his foster daughter. This banquet is just for show, to keep up appearances…”

“That’s true. After all, the foster daughter has been raised and cultivated with great effort since she was a child, surpassing all the well-known ladies and earning Lin Qing a lot of face. As for the genuine daughter, who grew up in the countryside and doesn’t know a single word, she’s crude and vulgar, making it impossible to compare with the carefully trained fake daughter. It’s difficult to treat them equally.”

“Why do I hear something different…?”

A group of wealthy women gossiping walked away, with Li Jiaojiao, Zhao Qin, and Sun Qingqing following behind. They exchanged glances and laughed in unison.

“A fake daughter is a fake daughter. I’ll let everyone know that a wild chicken can never be more than just that.” Li Jiao intently said with a cold smile.

“Is everything arranged?” asked Zhao Qin.

“Last time, I didn’t finish her off. This time, I want her to become the laughingstock of the entire Jiangzhou. ”

Sun Qingqing hesitated for a moment and whispered, “Will there be any trouble? After all, the Zhus…

“Zhu Group is in crisis, there’s nothing left to fear,” Zhao Qin said disdainfully.

Behind the three of them were the families of Gao Jia and Ye Lan, each accompanying their parents. As the two families were old friends, the elders were chatting amiably. Gao Jia was holding Ye Lan’s arm, “I seemed to have seen your cousin just now?”

Ye Lan was wearing a pink, slim-fit dress today, looking charming and gentle, very feminine. Hearing this, she said with a smile, “I haven’t seen her for a few days. I didn’t expect her to come.”

The Zhao family held a special status in Jiangzhou; no one dared to provoke them, but they also didn’t dare to get too close.

Gao Jia glanced around and commented, “The Zhus seem to have spared no expense for this genuine daughter. Wasn’t it said that the Zhus did not value

“Ms. Zhu is fair and elegant, and generous. Who wouldn’t like her?” Ye Lan laughed, “Let’s go, tonight is bound to be a lively night.”

Upstairs in the lounge.

Granny Zhu looked at the young girl in front of her with satisfaction, “The wigs nowadays are made so lifelike that you can’t tell at all.”

Indeed, this twenty-thousand-dollar wig looked even more realistic than real hair, reaching the waist with gentle curls, like seaweed. The hair color had a slight touch of chestnut green, pure and enchanting.

Zhu Xiangxiang stood behind Granny Zhu, staring at the elegant young girl before her, her eyes dark and uncertain.

Had this day finally come?

She couldn’t accept it…

“Xiangxiang, there will be many guests later, so you should take care of Ming Jing…” Granny Zhu called her once, and received no response.

She called out azain, “Xianzxianz?”

Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly came back to her senses, looking flustered, “Granny.”

Granny Zhu squinted her eyes and scrutinized her. Zhu Xiangxiang was scared and panicking at the bottom of her heart. She struggled to maintain her composure on her face and gently smiled, “Granny, I was just thinking about how beautiful Ming Jing is and wondering how many eyes she will dazzle tonight. In the future, the threshold of the Zhus’ house may be trampled beyond recognition.”

“Ordinary people are nowhere near good enough to match Ming Jing. And she is a well-bred lady, not comparable to those unprincipled ones at all.” Granny Zhu said sternly.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s face suddenly turned pale.

What did granny mean? Who were the unprincipled ones?

With her head drooping, Zhu Xiangxiang quietly said, “Granny, I’m sorry, I misspoke.”

“Alright, you can go downstairs and join your mother in greeting the guests.

You don’t need to be here.”

Her daughter received guests? The word was so humiliating, Zhu Xiangxiang glanced at Ming Jing’s indifferent face, agreed and turned to leave.

Walking out of the room, she could still hear Granny Zhu’s loving voice, “Ming Jing, don’t be afraid, granny will support you tonight…

Zhu Xiangxiang clenched her fist, her eyes instantly darkening.

Ming Jing’s eyes lightly swept the doorway.

Nothing is as worrysome as unequal distribution.

She looked at the elderly man in front of her, who was full of tender words and affection, and sighed softly..
