Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man were actually the least favored couple by Jiang Tairan and Du Yuke.
It’s not that Jiang Guosheng isn’t good, on the contrary, he’s even more clever than the second brother Jiang Dinghai, and he has a higher education level.
Unfortunately, the wife he married, Yu Man, is even less impressive than the third family’s Xiao Qingyun.
At least Xiao Qingyun is a university professor, and though not as well connected as Zhao Guangi, she’s at least educated and respected.
But Yu Man, apart from a beautiful face, cos from a poor background and lacks experience and exposure.
Moreover, the incident she caused with the baby mix-up was a debacle.
Even though Jiang Moxi was brought back, she had been spoiled and didn’t present well; she felt like a money-losing investnt they were stuck with.
As for their adopted daughter, Jiang Weiwei, although she is quite outstanding and is the campus belle at First University, she’s still not their flesh and blood.
So even though Jiang Guosheng has been running the two Jiang’s subsidiary companies very successfully these past few years, Jiang Tairan and Du Yuke always felt that there wasn’t much hope for Jiang Guosheng’s family.
Therefore, since the couple arrived, even until now, Jiang Tairan and Du Yuke did not show much enthusiasm.
Not until Jiang Weiwei walked into the hall with Fu Yiming...
"Weiwei, co over to grandma."
"Young Master Fu, I’m so grateful that you graced my birthday banquet with your presence today."
Du Yuke was sowhat excited, and even sent away the grandchildren who were previously around her, allowing Jiang Weiwei and Yu Man to stand by her side.
"Guosheng, invite Young Master Fu to co over for tea. This is the premium Biluochun Tea I had soone find today, the taste should be good."
Jiang Tairan called Fu Yiming and Jiang Guosheng over to have tea together.
Even Zhao Guangi, Xiao Qingyun, and Jiang Ruxin, who previously disdained chatting with Yu Man, also began to initiate conversation with her.
"Is Weiwei’s marriage to Young Master Fu really settled?"
Zhao Guangi was the first to ask Yu Man.
"It’s truly settled. But considering that Weiwei is still in school and to not interrupt her studies, we plan to get engaged next spring and marry after she graduates."
Yu Man ntioned Jiang Weiwei with a face full of pride.
Zhao Guangi glanced at her daughter Jiang Yuqing, her eyes sowhat dim.
Jiang Moxi’s previous engagent to Fu Yiming was only possible because Jiang Guosheng had helped Second Master Fu with a favor, and the two reached an agreent.
When Jiang Guosheng first brought Jiang Moxi back, he probably had expectations for her, which is why he was eager to have Second Master Fu fulfill the promise.
Second Master Fu was indeed a man of his word and quickly got Fu Yiming and Jiang Moxi engaged.
However, as Jiang Moxi continuously dashed down the path of disgrace, not only outsiders but even the Jiang family mbers felt that the marriage would inevitably be called off.
And Zhao Guangi was among them.
So, she previously hoped that after the engagent between Jiang Moxi and Fu Yiming was called off, Jiang Yuqing could replace her.
After all, Jiang Yuqing is not only as attractive as Jiang Weiwei but also has comndable academic and conversational skills, plus she’s known as the nation’s beloved daughter, in no way inferior to Jiang Weiwei.
More importantly, Jiang Yuqing at least has so blood relation to Jiang Guosheng, while Jiang Weiwei has none at all.
But unexpectedly, before she could even suggest this idea, Jiang Weiwei had already stolen the march...
On the other side, Xiao Qingyun asked Yu Man: "What about Moxi? Isn’t she upset?"
Yu Man glanced at Jiang Moxi, who was playing with her phone in the corner, and with a sneer said:
"If she won’t strive for herself and can’t even keep what belongs to her, what right does she have to be upset?"
In fact, Yu Man also guessed the minds of Zhao Guangi and Xiao Qingyun.
They all have daughters about Weiwei’s age and want to marry them into the Fu Family, hoping that once Jiang Moxi steps aside, their daughters would have a chance.
But if everything were given to them, what would beco of her and Jiang Guosheng?
Besides, Jiang Weiwei was brought up by her, even closer than Jiang Moxi.
So she felt that giving this opportunity to Jiang Weiwei was better than giving it to Jiang Moxi.
At least Jiang Weiwei could win Fu Yiming’s heart.
Once she marries into the Fu Family, she will certainly help elevate Jiang Guosheng’s career to a new level!
Jiang Ruxin is a crafty fox.
She could see that Yu Man disliked Jiang Moxi and was unwilling to let others take advantage.
Moreover, Jiang Ruxin’s husband, Li Yaohui’s business in recent years has been relying on Jiang Guosheng. It isn’t appropriate for her to clash with Yu Man.
Furthermore, she also hopes that Jiang Weiwei can marry into the Fu Family and use Fu Yiming’s connections to arrange a good marriage for her daughter, Li Tinglu.
So all she said was: "Big sister, then I’ll just wait to drink the celebratory tea for Weiwei and Young Master Fu."
Yu Man imdiately smiled and said: "I wouldn’t forget you, my dear sister-in-law."
Zhao Guangi and Xiao Qingyun, of course, were still not content.
Zhao Guangi said: "Relying on oneself is better than relying on others. I have always emphasized to Yuqing that having a career is better than dating. Once you’re successful, what kind of man can you not have?"
Xiao Qingyun echoed: "Right, it’s best for a woman to achieve sothing so that n won’t look down on her. That’s why I’ve always encouraged Sibei to learn more skills, not just to focus on academics."
"Indeed, just studying without a plan is as pointless as relying on a man. That’s why I plan on having Yuqing learn piano from Jiang Heting," Zhao Guangi and Xiao Qingyun alternated their remarks.
"You must be talking about the piano master Mr. Jiang Heting, right? Only you, Sister Guangi, have the capability to find Master Jiang Heting."
Xiao Qingyun gave Zhao Guangi a bunch of complints, then said: "I don’t have that capability. I can only let Sibei find sothing she likes to learn on her own. So, she chose photography, and unexpectedly made a na for herself. Her works are currently being exhibited at the Yan City Culture Hall!"
Zhao Guangi, with a purposeful glance at Yu Man, smiled and said: "Really? Then I’ll take Yuqing with in the next few days to see our great photographer Sibei’s work."
"Second Aunt, I just got lucky. Don’t tease now."
Although Jiang Sibei said this, the corners of her lips were already hooked up to her earlobes.
How could Yu Man not hear that their words, both overt and covert, were targeting her and Jiang Weiwei, ridiculing them as bindweed clinging to n.
She wanted to retort, but other than marrying Jiang Guosheng, she didn’t have any noteworthy achievents.
Jiang Weiwei, aside from the marriage arrangent with Fu Yiming, also had excellent academic results.
However, for the people of the Jiang Family, except for Jiang Moxi, everyone had outstanding academic achievents, so it wasn’t worth boasting about.
While Yu Man was fuming internally with no outlet for her anger, Jiang Weiwei smiled and said: "Sibei’s work, is it being displayed under the ’Ti of Charm’ the?"
Her comnt shifted everyone’s attention to her.
Especially Jiang Sibei: "Right, you’ve also heard of this the?"
There were altogether four thes for the photography exhibition at the Yan City Culture Hall, and ’Ti of Charm’ was one of them.
Jiang Weiwei replied with a light smile: "I didn’t just hear about it; it’s just that I also have two works included in the exhibit, so I’m fairly clear about it."
This revelation imdiately froze the smiles on the faces of Xiao Qingyun, Zhao Guangi, and others like Jiang Sibei.
Jiang Weiwei also had works being exhibited, and not just one but two?
By comparison, Jiang Sibei’s single work being included suddenly seed less dazzling.
Jiang Sibei was also seething internally.
In her heart, she cursed Jiang Weiwei, that despicable woman!
She had already known that her works would be exhibited but didn’t say anything, undoubtedly wanting to show off at this mont!
As Yu Man watched their deflated expressions, she couldn’t help but blossom with joy.
"Weiwei, you have works included in the exhibit; why didn’t you tell mom?"
"I just didn’t think being exhibited counted as winning any awards, so I didn’t ntion it."
Jiang Weiwei remained calm; as if she truly didn’t care for these things.
Yet, she had known about her works being selected for the exhibit two days prior.
She didn’t purposefully tell Yu Man, just planning to "casually" ntion it during the old lady’s birthday banquet.
She hadn’t expected that Jiang Sibei’s work would also be chosen, and that Xiao Qingyun and Zhao Guangi would specially elevate the exhibit so much that she could also "bask in the reflected glory."
"Indeed, our Weiwei, just like , has always been rather humble from a young age. Unlike so people, who must make a big fuss over trivial matters for everyone to know."
Yu Man laughed, revealing her molars.
Looking at Jiang Weiwei, her eyes filled with increasing fondness.
She felt more than ever that keeping Jiang Weiwei had been the correct decision.
Look at her—she had retrieved the face that she had lost due to Jiang Moxi.
She couldn’t possibly not favor Jiang Weiwei!
Zhao Guangi and Xiao Qingyun looked at Yu Man’s smug expression, exchanged a glance, and then stopped talking.
In the corner, Jiang Moxi, listening to their boisterous conversation, sent a ssage to Scavenger: "Have you also been involved in a photography exhibition recently?"
