Jiang Jin has been in high spirits recently. Zhao Liushu, no, it should be said that Jiang Shuliu is finally dead this time.

The crisis of the Jiang family has been temporarily alleviated, and it can even be said to be temporary.

After all, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhao Liushu is Jiang Shuliu. Jiang Shuliu's young wife is a little more difficult to deal with. She is still struggling a week after Jiang Shuliu's death and is still holding on to the Jiang family. I heard that she is still looking for Jiang Shuliu's whereabouts.

Haha, the Jiang family and the Ji family are also looking for him. Once they find the body, they will kindly send it back to the young lady.

Pregnant? So what? If she died, wouldn't there be no heir?

Jiang Jin tasted the sweetness from the assassination of Jiang Shuliu and wanted to continue using it.

Even when Jiang Jingtao scolded him for being impulsive, he said disdainfully that it was enough as long as it was useful. Look how easily he revitalized the Jiang family with one move. Even Jiang Jingtao, who was lying on the bed, had the strength to speak.

Although Jiang Jingtao scolded him for being impulsive, the situation of the Jiang family did improve a lot soon. The old man no longer said anything and even asked him to pack up and attend the birthday dinner of the mayor's daughter.

Jiang Jin realized with delight that the old man was paving the way for him. This dinner was probably to connect him with the mayor. If he could become the mayor's son-in-law, the merchant ship plan that had been forced to stagnate could be restarted.

The party was held in a hotel run by a foreigner. It was said that the daughter grew up abroad and was educated on human rights and responsibilities.

The entire venue was like a gorgeous European-style ball, full of romance and luxury. In the spacious hall, the dazzling crystal chandelier emitted bright light, illuminating the entire space. The walls were covered with gorgeous oil paintings, and the floor was covered with thick carpets, as if walking on clouds.

The gorgeously dressed men and women danced on the dance floor, their graceful movements matched with the melodious music, like beautiful pictures. The men wore exquisite tuxedos, while the women wore gorgeous evening gowns, with fluttering skirts and sparkling jewels.

There were exquisite dining tables around the dance floor, filled with sumptuous food and fine wine, and the silverware sparkled brightly under the lights, exuding an alluring aroma.

Jiang Jin loosened the tie around his neck in dissatisfaction. He really didn't like this kind of slim-fitting suit, and this masquerade party was simply nonsense.

The mayor's daughter was flitting around the ball like a butterfly. Jiang Jin thought with dissatisfaction: What a shameless woman! I hope she will behave herself after I marry her.

"Ah Jin!" Jiang Jingtao called him.

Jiang Jin looked over and saw Jiang Jingtao standing with a middle-aged man with a big belly. Jiang Jin immediately realized that the man was Mayor Zhang Xuyang, and hurried over to greet him: "Dad, hello, Mayor Zhang."

"Hahaha, this is your son. After not seeing him for many years, he has become more and more handsome and taller." Zhang Xuyang said with a big laugh.

Jiang Jingtao said modestly: "He is just a brat, so you still need to take care of him."

Jiang Jin received a look from Jiang Jingtao and immediately said, "Today is your daughter's birthday, and I specially prepared a gift for her."

"Hahaha, you are so thoughtful," Zhang Xuyang shouted, "Yue'er, come here."

Zhang Yueying came over with her skirt lifted up, and she said in a tender voice, "Dad, what are you doing?"

"This is your Uncle Jiang's son, Jiang Jin. He knew it was your birthday, so he sent you a gift." Zhang Xuyang said with a smile.

Zhang Yueying raised her eyelids and scanned the young man in front of her. He looked good, but she didn't like the look in his eyes, as if he was looking at an object.

She was arrogant by nature, and she would openly show her dislike for someone: "I know, just let the servant keep it."

"Hey," Zhang Xuyang advised her, "Your Uncle Jiang is the porcelain king. All those beautiful porcelains, jades and so on, come from his family. Don't you like these things the most?"

Jiang Jin was not satisfied with Zhang Yueying's impolite expression. He patiently asked his servants to take out the things. When the mahogany box was opened, a fist-sized luminous pearl was wrapped in crimson satin, which sparkled even in the bright lobby.

"Wow, what a big night-shining pearl." Zhang Xuyang exclaimed.

"What's the big deal, Dad?" Zhang Yueying had seen all kinds of good things. She didn't like the man in front of her, so she naturally didn't give him face. Her status also gave her the capital to do so: "I like this better."

She stretched out her slender wrist, revealing a jade twist bracelet with unique charm.

Jiang Jin's eyes widened. This was part of a series of intricately crafted bracelets, which were inspired by the classic twisted wire design of silver bracelets, also known as twisted wire wrapped bracelets.

The uniqueness of this bracelet lies in that it cleverly combines the traditional elements of the blessing bracelet and simulates the texture of hemp rope through fine carving. Careful selection of materials is crucial. Be sure to use high-quality materials without obvious cracks to avoid accidents during carving and damage to its exquisite beauty.

This is the pinnacle challenge of jade carving art, and has always been synonymous with luxury and high value.

Apart from the Jiang family, only one family can produce such skills.

"This is what Zhao Xi gave me. It's so beautiful. I like it the most." Zhang Yueying said with a smile: "Okay, Dad, I'm going to dance."

Jiang Jin suddenly turned his head and saw Zhao Xi, who was wearing a silver-gray evening dress, sitting not far away. She raised her glass to him from a distance, with an extremely dazzling smile on her lips.

Zhang Xuyang looked at the two people who had fallen into silence, and tried to smooth things over by saying, "Young girls are all like this. I'll put this gift away for Yue'er first."

After Zhang Xuyang left, Jiang Jin was annoyed and wanted to go find Zhao Xi to make trouble, but was stopped by Jiang Jingtao: "Is this the time to quarrel with her? She is faster than you, so you have to be more accurate than her. Go find Zhang Yueying, and winning her heart is your most important task."

Jiang Jingtao was indeed teaching this good-for-nothing son one by one.

Fortunately, although Jiang Jin was stupid, he was obedient and patiently said yes.

In the distance, Zhao Xi saw Jiang Jin, who was originally coming to find her, changed his steps and his target became Zhang Yueying in the middle of the dance floor. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

The Jiang family's purpose of attending this birthday dinner was so obvious that she would feel embarrassed if she didn't come and ruin it.

However, Zhao Xi only chatted with the rich girl when she was giving her gifts, and he knew that Jiang Jin would never get her.

This young lady has seen the world. To fall for a man like Jiang Jin who has barely been out of the country, you must be blind.

Therefore, Zhao Xi did not do anything else during the dance party and just sat there and ate snacks.

"Miss, may I ask you to dance with me?"

A clear voice came, and Zhao Xi refused without thinking: "Sorry, I'm pregnant, and my belly is too big to jump."

The visitor looked at her flat belly in silence.

Zhao Xi looked back calmly and saw that the man was very tall, wearing a dark blue mask with gold outlines on his face, and his superior jaw was like a neat arc.

She should be good-looking, Zhao Xi commented in his mind.

"Well," he said with a smile in his voice, "In that case, I hope this rose can make you feel better."

He took out a beautiful rose like a magician and gently placed it next to Zhao Xi's hand.

The silver watch on his wrist flashed by, and Zhao Xi opened his eyes wide.

"Well, goodbye, pregnant lady."

When Zhao Xi heard the word goodbye, she swallowed everything she wanted to say and watched the man leave in silence.

Goodbye means we cannot recognize each other yet.

Zhao Xi held the rose in her hand, her eyes were gentle, and the burden in her heart seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

Okay, see you next time.
