Jiang Mian's action immediately stunned everyone.

No one had ever seen anything like this before.

Who doesn't secretly open a red envelope in private?

Who would be like her?

They actually opened it right there in front of everyone!

But it's precisely people like Jiang Mian who do things that leave them helpless.

Because she was never a rich heiress from a prominent family.

She was just an ordinary person from the city.

They even came from rural areas of Lixian County.

They simply couldn't expect her to have the proper etiquette expected of a daughter from a wealthy family.

When Jiang Mian poured out the first red envelope, everyone fell silent for a brief moment.

After pouring out the ginger, she looked into the empty red envelope to make sure there was nothing else inside.

Then he shook the thin piece of paper in his hand.

Seeing her like this, everyone belatedly realized what had happened.

Lu Bozhou's new wife is very likely...

They don't even recognize what a bearer check is!

Jiang Mian certainly recognized it, but it's also reasonable that Jiang Mian didn't.

Jiang Mian looked at the number on the check.

"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands." She counted the numbers on the table. "Twenty thousand."

"Wow, that's a lot! Thank you, Auntie."

She thanked them sincerely, but the way others looked at this auntie was all wrong.

Even if it's a second marriage, it's still a marriage.

For a prominent family like the Lu family, the first gift they give to their new bride is only 20,000 yuan?

and……

"It's too much trouble to issue a bearer check for 20,000."

The Lu family was already not harmonious, and soon someone made a sarcastic remark.

"You might as well put 20,000 in cash; at least it would look more substantial, tsk..."

While the other side was being sarcastic and sarcastic, Jiang Mian acted as if nothing was wrong and opened another red envelope.

"Thirty thousand, thank you, Auntie." Jiang Mian began to express her gratitude.

She was so sincere that people couldn't help but wonder if this was the custom in her hometown when she received a red envelope.

Open it on the spot? Public execution?

Wouldn't that make people too competitive?

Regardless of the customs in Jiang Mian's hometown.

In short, her actions immediately plunged the scene into a strange competition.

As for those two aunts and uncles, there was no way to change the situation now that it was too late.

But for others, there's still room for maneuver.

As a result, everyone left the scene temporarily for one reason or another.

People were going to the restroom, answering the phone, or getting a drink of water; it was a common sight.

Then, when they reappeared in the hall, they tossed the red envelope to Jiang Mian.

His chin was held higher, and he seemed more confident.

The instigator, however, remained innocent and naive, opening each and every red envelope.

I thanked them sincerely time and time again.

It's as if they have no idea what they did or what kind of storm they stirred up.

Lu Bozhou stood quietly and indifferently to the side.

He glanced at her sideways, looking at her beautiful profile.

Her long, delicate eyelashes hung down softly, making her look as docile and innocent as a fawn.

Lu Bozhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems he wasn't as foolish as he thought.

Not only are they not stupid, they're actually quite clever.

Killing without shedding blood, instigating war without leaving a trace...

It was easy to get them to start attacking each other.

Not to mention Lu Bozhou, even Yan Ke and Lu Hong couldn't help but glance at Jiang Mian a few more times.

I really don't know what to say about this woman.

They were also very dissatisfied with her, feeling that her family background was poor and she was not good enough for Lu Bozhou.

I think she's petty and that she's no good at anything.

They find fault with everything about them.

But seeing how easily she managed to get these guys to use all the sarcastic remarks they had originally used against the couple to attack each other.

They had to admit that they felt quite relieved.

I don't know if she's genuinely smart or genuinely stupid.

As the banquet was about to begin, everyone prepared to take their seats.

Lu Bolin then leisurely got up from the sofa.

The direction to the banquet hall will pass right next to Jiang Mian.

He walked slowly to Jiang Mian's side and extended his hand to her.

"Nice to meet you. From now on, you'll be my sister-in-law. Just call me Brother Bolin."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then reached out to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu."

The way they addressed each other was casual and distant, yet still polite.

Jiang Mian had no intention of calling this man "brother." Was he crazy? He wanted to cripple Xiao Shitou's hand! Her hand almost got crippled because of it.

How could I possibly call him brother?

Lu Bozhou remained indifferent, coldly watching the two shake hands.

Lu Bozhou was usually not very satisfied with being addressed as "President Lu," but this was probably the time he was most satisfied with it.

When she used it to refer to Lu Bolin.

But Lu Bolin wasn't annoyed; he just glanced at the hands he was clasped with hers.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

With his other hand, he took out a red envelope from his suit pocket. "This is a small token of my appreciation as an older brother."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Jiang Mian accepted it.

Lu Bolin hadn't paid much attention to it before, but she had already opened and thanked everyone for their red envelopes.

His red envelope was not just a gift for his new bride when she entered the family.

There's also the fact that Jiang Mian obediently listened to him and managed to pry the project information from Lu Bozhou for a fee.

The amount was naturally substantial, much larger than what others had given.

It's impossible to say there's no expectation at all.

Lu Bolin was also waiting for Jiang Mian to open the red envelope he had given her, count out the numbers on it, and read them aloud.

but no.

Lu Bolin waited expectantly.

But after this woman thanked him, that was the end of it?

Lu Bolin was still waiting, but Jiang Mian had already turned and walked towards Lu Bozhou.

Lu Bolin forced a smile. "Aren't you going to open it and see what I gave you?"

Jiang Mian still had the gentle and harmless deer look on her face, smiling shyly, "It's time to eat, so let's not unpack it yet. Bo Zhou and Xiao Chi are both hungry."

Lu Bolin stood still, though a strained smile remained on his face.

Even from this distance, it's not hard to see that Jiang Mian's jaw is clenched tightly.

It must be very difficult to bear.

There was another person who was also not very tolerant, right next to Jiang Mian.

Lu Bozhou reached out and grasped her wrist, then walked towards the banquet hall.

On his handsome profile, the corners of his thin lips curved in an irrepressible smile.

Once inside the banquet hall, Lu Bozhou leaned slightly forward and whispered in her ear, "What were you thinking? Why did you leave out Lu Bolin? What, you don't want to know how much he gave?"

“I just secretly checked, he gave 300,000.”

Jiang Mian simply leaned close to his ear as well.

"No wonder he was so eager for me to read it out. I'd be a fool to let him have his way. Let him keep it to himself."

Jiang Mian pondered for a moment, then lowered her voice even further, until only a few soft breaths rustled in her ear.

It rubbed my ears so hard they were itchy, it felt like the itch was going straight to my heart.

“I just gave it to him.”
