In the Western restaurant of Fengyun Hotel—
The vast space was set with just one table, adorned with fine plates, cutlery, and a bouquet of red roses.
"Did you book the entire venue?"
Jiang Moxi slowly walked towards the dining table.
"Mm, I didn’t want anyone to disturb us."
Fu Youhan followed behind Jiang Moxi, gentlemanly pulling out a chair for her.
"Thank you." Jiang Moxi sat down.
But Fu Youhan didn’t return to his own seat, instead crouching beside Jiang Moxi.
"Xixi, don’t be mad, I truly didn’t expect Fu Wangning to do sothing so rash."
Even though Jiang Moxi was still laughing and talking with him, Fu Youhan just felt that sothing was off.
Especially since Jiang Moxi just told Fu Wangning that she no longer cared about him, and certainly wouldn’t mind his trivial past with Fu Wangning.
To Fu Wangning, that might have just been Jiang Moxi deliberately saying sothing against her heart, just to hurt others.
But to Fu Youhan, it could very well be Jiang Moxi’s sincere thoughts.
After all, the current Jiang Moxi is so outstanding, with an unrivaled family background; the number of n in Emperor City who admire her is countless.
Although he, Fu Youhan, is not much less than the young masters of Emperor City, the fact that he once hurt her could very likely make Jiang Moxi completely dismiss him from her heart.
Fu Youhan felt very unsure, afraid of losing his standing in the family.
But after half a day of explanation, Jiang Moxi didn’t respond directly, only saying, "Let’s eat, I’ve been busy all day and am a bit hungry."
Fu Youhan knew that Fu Wangning’s appearance had indeed made Jiang Moxi uncomfortable.
But since Jiang Moxi was hungry, he didn’t feel it appropriate to say more for the ti being, and quickly instructed the waiter to start serving food.
Tonight’s Western al featured a surf and turf, along with a creamy soup made with king crab.
Jiang Moxi seed quite happy as she ate.
However, halfway through their al, a commotion ca from the restaurant’s entrance.
"Sorry, the Western restaurant is fully booked for today. If you wish to dine, please proceed to the Chinese restaurant on the first floor."
"I’m here to see my granddaughter, not to dine."
"I apologize, today’s venue was booked by Mr. Fu. If you wish to see your granddaughter, I suggest you contact her first and obtain Mr. Fu’s permission."
"Mr. Fu is my son-in-law. Do I need permission to see the two of them? Get out of the way! The internal affairs of our family are none of your outsiders’ business to point fingers at."
Jiang Tairan thought that seeing Jiang Moxi would resolve both the issues of their Jiang Family and his health.
So, he didn’t care about manners or losing face at that mont, almost throwing a tantrum with the waiter and even directly striking the waiter with his walking stick.
The waiter only slightly blocked the stick and Jiang Tairan fell to the ground.
"There’s violence, the waiter is hitting soone!"
"Old sir, be reasonable, please. You hit first, I just raised my hand to block."
"You won’t let in, that ans you hit !"
Zhao Guangi watched as Jiang Tairan threw a fit with the waiter, shalessly pushing up her sunglasses, fearing soone would recognize her as a celebrity and be embarrassed alongside Jiang Tairan.
The hotel manager also arrived at this mont, trying hard to diate the situation.
But Jiang Tairan kept causing a scene, vowing not to give up until he saw Jiang Moxi.
The manager was about to call the police when Jiang Moxi walked out of the restaurant, with Fu Youhan following right behind her.
"Sorry, Mr. Fu..." The manager tried to apologize to Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi, but before he could finish, Jiang Tairan pushed past him.
"Moxi, my dear granddaughter, I’ve finally found you."
Jiang Tairan even tried to grab Jiang Moxi’s hand, but she coldly shrugged him off.
"I don’t think there’s any need for us to et now. If you don’t want security throwing you out, then stop showing up in front of ."
Jiang Moxi did not want to waste any more ti on the Jiang Family mbers and turned around to leave after speaking.
Jiang Tairan shouted at her retreating figure, "Moxi, family doesn’t retain grudges overnight! You shouldn’t deny everyone just because you’ve achieved a little success."
Jiang Moxi’s steps faltered.
Jiang Tairan felt a surge of joy inside, betting correctly.
Successful people are all sowhat afraid that their hard-earned reputations could be destroyed by others.
Even soone as heartless as Jiang Moxi, the ungrateful brat, is no different.
So, with a gloating heart, Jiang Tairan continued to speak.
"Actually, I’m here today for no other reason than seeing your press conference go so well. We’ve prepared a feast at ho to give you a proper celebration."
Jiang Tairan added, "Even though you outright denied the Jiang Family at the conference, claiming you only have two brothers and completely omitted ntioning us, the real family, we won’t hold it against you, because we truly consider you as our family."
If the earlier words were Jiang Tairan trying to play the victim and curry favor, then the latter was a veiled threat to Jiang Moxi.
It’s as if Jiang Tairan suggested that if Jiang Moxi doesn’t act according to his wishes today, he would expose her "nonsensical" words at the press conference.
However, Jiang Moxi seed not to understand his threat at all, only turning back to coldly look at him.
"Stop pretending, we’ve already severed ties."
Seeing Jiang Moxi unwilling to compromise, Jiang Tairan’s words beca sharper.
"Moxi, you are the flesh and blood of the Jiang Family. Without us, you would not exist in this world."
Seeing that Jiang Moxi’s icy deanor remained unchanged, Jiang Tairan then said, "You don’t have to co back for the al, but do a favor instead."
Jiang Tairan’s commanding tone made even Fu Youhan frown with displeasure.
Ever since Jiang Tairan appeared, Fu Youhan had disapproved.
He was having a rare dinner with Jiang Moxi, hoping to create a little romance, and this old man had to co and interfere.
And now, the old man was speaking to Jiang Moxi in a tone like he was commanding a subordinate, which made Fu Youhan’s fists itch with irritation.
But since Jiang Moxi didn’t make a move, Fu Youhan couldn’t do anything, after all, this man was still Jiang Moxi’s blood relative.
Jiang Moxi just looked at Jiang Tairan indifferently, her expression unchanged, but Fu Youhan could feel the lancholy spreading from her.
Jiang Tairan didn’t care about her feelings. Seeing that Jiang Moxi hadn’t spoken for a long ti, he simply said,
"I’m not asking you to do a big favor, just want you to et with Miss Xi of the Feng Family as designer X. It should be a trivial matter for you."
However, as soon as Jiang Tairan spoke, not only did Jiang Moxi’s expression change but even Fu Youhan’s face showed nuanced reactions.
So, Jiang Tairan and the rest of the Jiang Family still don’t know that Jiang Moxi is, in fact, the esteed Miss Xi from the Feng Family?
Jiang Weiwei, who was previously at the Wu Family’s place, clearly knew it. Was it not communicated to Jiang Family mbers yet?
"What do you need from Miss Xi?" Jiang Moxi asked.
Jiang Tairan said indifferently, "That’s none of your business. Just help arrange the eting."
Jiang Moxi smirked, "She won’t et you."
Jiang Tairan grew more annoyed, "You’re not her. How do you know she won’t et ?"
