Jiang Xia's thoughts on the Jiang family have never changed.

I never expect them to invest their emotions in me. If there are surprises, I will accept them calmly.

Not to mention that she now has several buildings given by Jiang Minghui, dresses and bank cards given by Mrs. Jiang, and luxury cars and jewelry given by her two brothers.

Although the Jiang Group was worth more money and the Jiang family gave her nothing more than a drizzle of money, Jiang Xia, who came from an ordinary life, was already very satisfied.

Besides, Jiang Xia didn't want to use her limited life to compete with Jiang Zhen for favor. It was meaningless. No matter how much money she had, if she didn't have the life to spend it, it would be like a pile of waste paper.

Jiang Xia didn't go to Jiang Zhai, but the driver couldn't help but remind him: "The eldest lady goes home a lot recently. Madam and Master miss the second lady."

The driver who is responsible for driving Jiang Xia and taking her to work is arranged by Jiang Zhai. For him, the more favored Jiang Xia is in Jiang Zhai, the higher the possibility that he will be taken seriously.

Hearing what the driver said, Jiang Xia couldn't help but look up at him, then frowned slightly and said, "If I want to go home, I will ask you to drive me there. I don't need you to remind me repeatedly."

Jiang Xia didn't want anyone to interfere with her arrangements. When the driver heard this, he replied: "Okay, I'll remember it, and I'll be careful in the future."

The two didn't speak anymore. When Jiang Xia arrived home, the driver quietly sent a message to Jiang Zhen.

[Miss, the second lady seems to be very resistant to returning to Jiangzhai. Today I specifically reminded her that you go back often, but she didn’t say she wanted to go back. She also told me that I shouldn’t interfere with her arrangements. 】

Jiang Zhen couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she received the news.

It would be best if she didn't reply, which would make her parents feel that she was unfilial and unfamiliar. Comparing her with herself, wouldn't it be obvious at a glance who is more considerate and sensible?

Jiang Zhen was secretly happy, but she didn't know that although the Jiangxia people had not returned to Jiang's house, they had no less contact with the Jiang family than she did.

Jiang Xia is not stupid. She knows that Jiang Zhen is different from the character in the novel and has the potential to become a black man. She will not confront Jiang Zhen head-on, worsening the relationship between the two, which may directly cause Jiang Zhen to treat her. Completely blackened and started to do evil.

It would be better to deceive Jiang Zhen into thinking that he poses no threat to her.

After returning home, Jiang Xia had just taken a shower and changed into home clothes when Lu Xingzhou called.

Jiang Xia has been a little busy at work recently, and Lu Xingzhou has a lot of things of his own to do. The two haven't seen each other for several days. Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but call Jiang Xia during the break between meetings.

"Xia Xia, do you have time to go to Florence in October? How about we go there for a few days?"

When Jiang Xia heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "It's only the beginning of July, have you already started arranging your schedule for October?"

Jiang Xia's current schedule, except for the charity variety show "The Miracle of Life", is all about work arrangements for his company, and there is no other schedule.

She was shocked that Lu Xingzhou was so busy, with her schedule already scheduled until October.

Lu Xingzhou heard Jiang Xia's words and knew that she had misunderstood, and continued: "I will attend the World Ladies Ball as the Black Knight's dance partner in October. I thought that if you have time then, we can play together for a few days."

Of course, Jiang Xia knew about the World Ladies Ball, and Jiang Zhen also attended, as the daughter of the Jiang Group.

The selection of places for this dance is very strict. The girls all come from either rich or noble families, and they must also have excellent knowledge and ability.

As for the backup dancers, the Black Knights are also of the same status. Their age is limited to between eighteen and twenty-five years old, and they are all required to be unmarried.

Some people jokingly call the World Ladies Ball the marriage gathering of princes and princesses around the world. The initial intersection of many marriages between wealthy families is the meeting between the children of both parties at the World Ladies Ball.

Jiang Xia's interest in dancing was average, especially since she was not invited. She turned around and became a dance partner. She could only be an audience, which was not a happy thought.

So, she directly refused: "I don't want to watch you dancing with others."

Just as Jiang Xia finished speaking, Lu Xingzhou's anxious voice came, "But I was arranged to be Jiang Zhen's dance partner, and I didn't expect what would happen later. If you weren't here, who would I dance with behind me?"

Who the Black Knight will be as a backup dancer will be determined after the selected ladies are confirmed.

Jiang Zhen and Lu Xingzhou were engaged at the beginning, and they attended the World Ladies Ball together. Both families were happy to see it happen. At that time, no one knew that Jiang Zhen was not the daughter of the Jiang family, and that Jiang Xia would become Lu Xingzhou's true sweetheart.

The Ladies' Ball is divided into two parts. The first part is for the invited ladies to dance with the Black Knight. This is open to the public and will attract media attention from all over the world.

The second part is for all the people participating in the ladies' ball to form a team at will, but this is not open to the public and can be regarded as a large private gathering of the major families.

Lu Xingzhou couldn't disgrace the organizer by directly refusing to dance with Jiang Zhen. As a gentleman, he couldn't behave in such a disrespectful manner in front of people all over the world.

But as Jiang Xia's boyfriend, Lu Xingzhou hoped that Jiang Xia would go to Florence together so that he and Jiang Xia could dance together in the second session.

Therefore, Lu Xingzhou was particularly afraid of Jiang Xia's rejection.

When Jiang Xia heard that there was still a later stage, he immediately changed his tune and said: "Okay, I'll go with you too. Although I wasn't invited by the organizer, I'm very happy to be invited by you."

When Lu Xingzhou heard this, his brows suddenly lit up with joy and he said, "I'm even happier."

Lu Xingzhou was not only happy that Jiang Xia could go, but also secretly relieved.

Recently, he noticed something was wrong with Jiang Zhen. He just chatted with him every now and then. He also made dinner appointments and wanted to meet in private. He complained to him openly and secretly that his brother-in-law was not treating her well. Lu Xingzhou thought her behavior was strange.

In the past, Jiang Zhen was very concerned about the distance between her and him in private, and never allowed the possibility of the two of them becoming more than friends.

But now Jiang Zhen seems to be a different person. She often laments how good Lu Xingzhou was to her in the past, which makes Lu Xingzhou feel like Jiang Zhen is encouraging him to go back to the past.

Lu Xingzhou was not sure what Jiang Zhen was thinking, but her actions made him uncomfortable. Although he refused those meetings, when he thought that they would attend the World Ladies Ball in October and could not avoid it, he especially wanted Jiang Xia. Let’s go together too.

Recently, he felt that his relationship with Jiang Zhen was a bit reversed. In the past, he wanted to get closer, but Jiang Zhen wouldn't allow it. Now, Jiang Zhen wants to get closer to them, and he is desperately trying to refuse.

Fortunately, he now has Jiang Xia by his side.

However, Lu Xingzhou was worried that Jiang Zhen would do something irrational and hurt Jiang Xia, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"Xia Xia, if Jiang Zhen suddenly comes to you to tell you something about me, and if there is anything that makes you angry, don't hold it in. Remember to tell me directly. I think she has been a little unusual recently."

As soon as Lu Xingzhou said these words, Jiang Xia frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly came to mind.
