Xing Jing...

Of course it’s Ji Xingjing.

Jiang Wan already knew that the Jiang family had a complicated background, so she naturally expected that she might run into someone she didn't really want to meet.

But Shao Ting was injured and Xie Heng went on a business trip abroad. There was no possibility that either of them would appear here, so she naturally felt relieved.

The only thing she didn't expect was that Ji Xingjing would be there.

This man was so eye-catching and had an exceptionally tall and handsome figure that Jiang Wan noticed his presence almost the moment he walked into the inner hall.

At the same time, the man's condescending gaze fell on her.

Her breathing was slightly choked, and she instinctively lowered her eyelashes before looking at him. Then she tried her best to control her expression, and even gave a polite and appropriate smile to Xu Mingshan, the protagonist of the banquet.

Jiang Wan was not surprised by Xu Mingshan's words. After all, Jiang's mother really thought she was Jiang Xu's girlfriend.

The key point is that these words were said in front of Ji Xingjing.

Logically speaking, Jiang Wan had nothing to feel guilty about, after all, she didn't have any definite relationship with the man.

But her senses were too sharp. The moment the word "girlfriend" appeared, Jiang Wan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she unconsciously clenched her fingertips.

She could almost clearly feel the man's gaze moving slowly and unscrupulously over her like a trap.

The overwhelming and deadly feeling was like a barbed hook, almost drilling into her skin.

Only then did Jiang Wan truly experience what ordinary people felt when facing Ji Xingjing.

But it was this man who, after keeping her in his sight for a moment, slowly opened his mouth and said, "A good match?"

"What does it mean to be a good match?"

His two difficult-to-understand rhetorical questions almost instantly made the atmosphere around them become stagnant.

Jiang Xu's eyes darkened, but before he could notice anything, Xu Mingshan's pupils shrank slightly, and he smiled first, "Xing Jing, you just don't understand."

Although Jiang's father and mother felt it was a bit strange, they didn't think too much about it.

To be more precise, even if there is any other meaning, they will not delve into it.

The business and political circles have always had their own ways, just as power and interests are indeed completely different things. It’s just that power can bring benefits, but interests do not necessarily come with power.

Therefore, the value of rights in ordinary situations is certainly incomparable to money.

But in Beijing, families like the Ji family or the Shao family, who stand at the top of the pyramid of power and whose connections and backgrounds have even penetrated into the cracks of the military and political circles, can no longer be measured by ordinary standards.

Therefore, for someone like Yu Jiang's father, whose status in officialdom is relatively sensitive, it is of course most appropriate to keep a certain distance.

But even Jiang Wan didn't expect that Jiang Xu suddenly whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Xu, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. Wan Wan is still young, and I'm not yet at the boyfriend stage."

If it were in the past, Xu Mingshan would have laughed out loud sooner or later, but he was such a shrewd man and knew Ji Xingjing quite well, so he naturally noticed something.

His eyes flashed and he easily changed the subject.

Lin Jin on the side was stunned, but he quickly reacted.

This kind of ambiguous statement is not actually a complete denial, and different people have different understandings.

However, although others don't understand, she still knows that if Jiang Wan is really Jiang Xu's girlfriend, Jiang Xu would definitely not say that.

Lin Jin didn't have a cold face or lose her composure. After all, ever since Jiang Xu said he wanted to bring his girlfriend back, she had guessed that he was deceiving her.

After all, she understood her son.

For Jiang Xu, who had no interest in love at all, it was a rare opportunity to meet someone who was interested in him.

Jiang Wan is so young, so it’s normal that he is still in pursuit.

But in this case, she, as a mother, has to help.

At least Jiang Wan has to have a good impression of their family, then there will be a chance for the follow-up...

Jiang Wan had no idea what Lin Jin was thinking, but she was slightly relieved that Jiang Xu could explain it clearly on the spot.

After all, she and Jiang Xu were only younger generations, so they left on their own after coming to celebrate the birthday, while Jiang's father and mother stayed in the inner hall.

It was not until he felt the gaze behind him completely disappeared that Jiang Wan's unconsciously frowned brows relaxed a little. At this time, Jiang Xu's low voice came to his ears.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Jiang Wan raised her eyes to meet his thoughtful gaze and raised the corners of her lips: "A little bit."

Jiang Xu paused for half a second, suppressed the ridiculous speculation in his heart, and slowed down his voice: "We are celebrating the birthday, so it's harmless to leave first. Wait for them to come out, say hello to them and leave."

Of course, they are referring to Jiang's father and mother.

Jiang Wan curved his eyebrows.

"It's okay, don't be so anxious. How can you leave within ten minutes of arriving?"

People in official circles are supposed to pay great attention to these kinds of formalities, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for them to leave just after arriving.

Seeing that her condition seemed to have recovered a lot, Jiang Xu did not insist.

Just at this moment, someone who obviously knew him came over to talk to him, so Jiang Wan took this opportunity to go through the crowd and go to the bathroom.

But I didn't expect that when I came out and passed the corridor again, someone grabbed my wrist and took me inside, and then the door closed with a "bang".

When the person walking to the front of the corridor heard the noise and turned back subconsciously, he saw only a young man who had just come out of the bathroom behind him. He raised his eyebrows slightly and walked away.

Jiang Wan was grabbed by the waist from behind and pressed firmly against the door in an extremely aggressive posture. Her heart was pounding and she was about to scream out subconsciously, but her neck suddenly felt weak.

The man's tall figure held her tightly in his arms, his lips pressed behind her ear, and he spoke in a low and slow voice.

"It seems that Miss Jiang really likes role-playing. One moment she is Shao Ting's secretary, and the next moment she is someone else's girlfriend."

"How about it, do you want to try something more exciting?"
