Thinking of this, she inexplicably took out her phone and sent a text message to Xu Tian.

"Are you ready? The most beautiful woman today."

Chen Feng approached her gently, and Zhang Qian guiltily placed her phone, its screen black, on the table, then gave him a knowing smile.

"It'll be ready soon. Once the makeup and styling are finished and you've changed into your clothes, we can begin."

"By the way, have your parents arrived?"

A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Chen Feng's face.

“They are getting old and it’s inconvenient for them to travel back and forth by car, so they were thinking of coming when we get married.”

Zhang Qian nodded, thinking it was better that he didn't come, otherwise it would be troublesome if Xu Tian came to steal the bride and things got messy.

"Where are Auntie and my little brother? I didn't see them outside just now."

Chen Feng countered with a question.

Zhang Qian could easily guess that the two of them were still dawdling at home. Her engagement banquet had invited many Jiangcheng company bosses, and Li Cui was definitely trying to take this opportunity to impress Zhang Peng and find him a good job. Moreover, if he caught the eye of a big boss, they might even be able to get married.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, Chen Feng said, "Then I'll go wait for them at the entrance. Take your time, there's plenty of time."

Zhang Qian nodded, and Chen Feng went out to socialize. She immediately took out her phone, but when she saw that Xu Tian hadn't replied, she couldn't help but feel uneasy and even started making excuses for Xu Tian.

Does he remember today's date?

Don't miss this opportunity, or she'll really have to marry Chen Feng!

Meanwhile, Chu Lan's birthday party had already begun. At Chu Lan's request, there was no host or anything like that, so it was more like a business gathering. After all, whenever Chu Lan was there, she was always the star of the show.

"President Chu, this is my birthday gift to you."

Zhao Jing smiled sweetly and handed the very valuable-looking gift box to Chu Lan.

When opened, it revealed an exquisite pearl necklace. Chu Lan had fair skin and a long neck, making her perfectly suited to wearing this kind of pearl jewelry.

Chu Lan smiled and nodded, accepting the gift.

"I remember you, Zhao Jing, the apple of the eye of the Zhao Group, right? Keep up the good work."

Zhao Jing was greatly encouraged and nodded seriously.

"Sycophant!" Zhao Lei whispered from behind.

Zhao Jing didn't take it seriously, "If you're so capable, why don't you give one too!"

Zhao Lei had been so busy preparing for his birthday party these past few days that he had completely forgotten about the gift. Fortunately, Zhao Pengfei produced a gift, which finally shut Zhao Jing up.

Zhao Pengfei's gift had a vintage feel to it; it looked like a decorative piece, but anyone with expertise could tell at a glance that it was an antique, quite valuable, probably worth at least six figures.

Chu Lan politely thanked him and accepted the gift.

Zhao Jing gestured to Xu Tian to quickly bring out the jadeite he had bought yesterday.

Xu Tian couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he didn't bring it up at the moment.

This greatly worried Zhao Jing. In her desperation, Zhao Jing quickly said to Chu Lan,

"President Chu, Xu Tian also has a gift for you."

Xu Tian looked at Zhao Jing in surprise, while Zhao Jing frantically tried to signal him with her eyes.

"You...have a gift for me?"

Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian with anticipation, as long as it wasn't old Beijing cloth shoes.

Xu Tian gave an awkward smile, and then took out the white moonlight jade from yesterday with great embarrassment.

"So you managed to take a picture! It truly is a rare treasure; the words 'glittering and precious' are fitting!"

"Its quality is really good; there's probably only one like it in the entire Jiangcheng!"

Immediately, everyone praised it.

Chu Lan, however, was quite surprised. She had always thought that the jade was the favorite of Xu's mother, Jiang Wanyi, who was also Xu Tian's mother. She never expected that after so many hints, it was actually meant to be given to her!

"Like it?"

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Xu Tian felt a little awkward because Zhang Qian had left too many shadows on him in the past. He subconsciously feared that Chu Lan would dislike him and then publicly reject and attack him.

"I really like it. Can you help me put it on?" Chu Lan said, extending her delicate hand.

Xu Tian clumsily put the jade on her wound, and at that moment, the white moonlight jade finally had its true value.

"The banquet is ready, shall we serve the dishes now?"

The waiter came up and asked Zhao Pengfei.

Zhao Pengfei looked at Chu Lan, who smiled slightly and said, "Please sit down and have your meal."

With Chu Lan's approval, everyone found seats and sat down. She herself looked at Zhao Jing and whispered...

"Could you please entertain me first? I have some things to discuss with Xu Tian."

Zhao Jing nodded, flattered. "Okay, I understand."

Chu Lan then led Xu Tian past his own birthday banquet hall and arrived at the entrance of Zhang Qiandi's engagement banquet.

At this moment, music and Chen Feng's voice thanking everyone through the microphone could be heard coming from inside.

"Would you like to come in with me?" Chu Lan asked Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was confused. He knew about Zhang Qian's engagement party, and he had even received a text message from Zhang Qian not long ago.

Chu Lan smiled and said, "Let's face the past head-on and let her turn the page completely, okay?"

Although Xu Tian didn't know Chu Lan's intentions, he still listened to her and the two of them went to Zhang Qian's engagement party together.

Zhang Qian stood under the spotlight, wearing a custom-made dress and with exquisite and elegant makeup, but her eyes darted around, carrying a hint of panic and anticipation.

When her gaze finally caught Xu Tian's figure, she was about to smile when she saw that there was a woman with outstanding temperament who even outshone her in beauty, Chu Lan, following closely beside him!

Zhang Qian's heart sank. She pursed her lips tightly, her gaze darting back and forth between the two of them, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

As Chu Lan entered the engagement banquet, she seemed to be surrounded by an aura, instantly becoming the focus of the entire event.

The guests rose to their feet and greeted her warmly, some even taking a few steps forward to whisper a few words of respect.

"Chu Lan actually came too! Zhang Qian must have a lot of influence to be able to get her here!"

"If only I could invite President Chu to my son's wedding, that would be so prestigious!"

Zhang Qian stood to the side, witnessing this scene. Her face gradually darkened, and her tightly clenched hands betrayed her jealousy and resentment.

She tried to maintain a smile, but could not hide the complex emotions of disappointment and anger in her eyes, as if the whole world was against her at this moment.

When she saw the white moonlight jade on Chu Lan's wrist, her breath caught in her throat, and she swayed so badly she could barely stand. The facial expression she had been trying to maintain collapsed.

Zhang Qian's eyes were fixed on the warm, jade-like white jade on Chu Lan's wrist. It was a gift that she thought Xu Tian would give her, carrying their past sweetness and promises.

At this moment, it was so conspicuously worn on another woman's wrist, as if mocking her self-delusion and naivety.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, her lips trembled slightly, and her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body swayed as if she might collapse at any moment. At that moment, it felt as if a thousand sharp blades were twisting her heart at once, the pain almost suffocating her.

Is this Xu Tian's revenge on her?
