The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing
Chapter 123 The Engagement Banquet That Attracted the Entire Beijing Circle
Saturday evening.
As the sun gradually set, the sky turned a deep orange-red.
Just past six o'clock, the Qi Family Manor was already bustling with activity, as many guests arrived one after another in their luxury cars.
The road stretching for two kilometers from the manor entrance is adorned with various decorations that exude a romantic and festive atmosphere.
A heart-shaped wall made of pink and red roses, a wall of all kinds of colorful balloons... Countless balloons are cleverly woven together to form a series of magnificent arches.
A gentle breeze blows, and the balloons sway softly, creating a dreamlike scene.
In addition, there were exquisite flower baskets and colorful lights that twinkled with soft light along the way.
The melodious music intertwined, creating a dreamlike scene that made the engagement banquet unprecedentedly grand and stunning.
After parking their cars at the entrance of the manor, many of the young ladies, along with their close friends, took photos and posted them on their WeChat Moments.
"Wow, it's just an engagement party, but they're making such a big deal out of it!"
"Yes, this is an engagement banquet worth a billion! If this turns into a formal wedding, wouldn't it be even more extravagant, a once-in-a-century event?!"
"If the eldest young master of the Qi family hadn't been crippled, Jiang Yonghe would have been the leading lady today!"
"Pity."
Jiang Yonghe and Jiang Xing also just arrived.
After getting off the car, listening to the socialites and heiresses' sighs, Jiang Yonghe's expression was somewhat complicated.
The engagement banquet was held at the Qi family's old manor. Looking at the elaborately decorated engagement banquet venue, she felt incredibly bitter.
This grand engagement party was originally meant for her.
"I don't think so. Maybe it's because he's marrying Jiang Youli, the real heiress, that Young Master Qi made such a grand engagement banquet. If it were Jiang Yonghe, the adopted daughter, it might not be so."
At this point, some people questioned it.
"I heard that when the eldest son of the Qi family got engaged to Jiang Yonghe, he never made any move, and the two of them never even went on a date alone."
"Is it real?"
"It's probably not just hearsay, but after it came to Jiang Youli, the real heiress, Young Master Qi has been very proactive. I heard that he and Old Master Qi were the ones who organized this engagement banquet. He personally handled every detail and every item selection."
"That really shows a lot of dedication."
Being compared to Jiang Youli and criticized, and even receiving lower comments, Jiang Yonghe's face turned very ugly.
Jiang Xing, who got out of the car behind her, limped over to Jiang Yonghe's side and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't listen to their nonsense. Qi Huan didn't like you back then because he had bad taste. After his legs became crippled, he was still the same. You deserve better."
Jiang Yonghe smiled cheerfully, "Actually, rather than marrying one of these young masters from a top-tier wealthy family, I'd rather stay at home with my parents."
Jiang Xing smiled with relief: "It's enough that you have this intention. But you are so outstanding, you deserve an even more outstanding and powerful man to cherish you. With your qualities, even if you were just our family's adopted daughter, you would have more than enough to marry someone of equal social standing."
"Big brother, what are you saying? Does it mean that after I get married, you won't love or protect me anymore?" Jiang Yonghe teased playfully.
Jiang Xing said, "Of course not. As your older brother, I will definitely cherish and pamper you for the rest of my life."
Jiang Yonghe smiled happily as well.
"Okay, let's go in."
"Ah."
Watching the backs of Jiang Xing and Jiang Yonghe, the young ladies and gentlemen began to gossip again.
"Hey, you guys noticed, right? Jiang Zhao seems to be lame in his right leg."
"At the last welcome dinner, he was already walking with crutches and a limp. At that time, I thought he had fallen or something. It's been a week and he's still not better. Could he really be lame?"
"I don't know, is it fashionable for handsome guys to have broken legs now? Young Master Qi is crippled in both legs, and Young Master Jiang has a limp in one leg."
"That's interesting."
"Shh-"
At this moment, the gossiping young ladies and gentlemen fell silent, because they noticed Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian, who had just gotten out of the car.
Jiang Yangxu stared at them with a cold gaze, while Qin Yulian looked furious.
Fortunately, they didn't say anything and strode towards the open gates of the manor.
These young ladies and gentlemen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
……
"The people who came here tonight are all people of status. What kind of behavior is it to gossip about others behind their backs like this!" Qin Yulian was furious to hear her eldest son being criticized like this.
At first, she thought her son Jiang Xing was just saying it in anger when he said his leg was broken, but now she knows that Jiang Xing's leg is really useless!
The husband, Jiang Yangxu, has already found the most experienced prosthetist abroad and is preparing to fit their son with the best prosthesis.
What a tragedy! His son was so young, how could he have suffered such a thing!
Fortunately, compared to Qi Huan, his son only lost a leg!
Jiang Yangxu said, "For now, let's ignore these criticisms. The most senior prosthetic experts abroad are already customizing a prosthesis that is most suitable for Xing'er. After a while, Xing'er will be fitted with a prosthesis, which will not affect his daily life. At that time, these criticisms will be gone."
Qin Yulian pouted, "I just don't like what I hear."
Jiang Yangxu said coldly, "You're unhappy about these things now, but if the entire Jiang family fortune falls into the hands of your elder brother and sister-in-law in the future, you'll have to endure even more complaints behind their backs."
Qin Yulian understood her husband's meaning, so she decided not to worry about these trivial matters. Her focus now was on finding a way to take over the Jiang family's assets!
“I understand. However, since Third Sister’s husband, Second Master Long, is willing to arrange a meeting with Chairman Zhou on our behalf, and Yonghe will also try her best to win over the only son of the Zhou family, I think the cooperation with the Zhou family is definitely a done deal.”
"Hmm." Jiang Yangxu's expression was solemn.
Tonight, their family won't be able to cause any trouble for Jiang Youli. It all depends on whether the Qi family can behave themselves and refrain from taking the opportunity to suppress Qi Huan at this time.
Now, he certainly doesn't want Qi Huan to become the heir of the Qi family!
……
"Brother and sister-in-law, you've worked so hard today. There are quite a few distinguished guests here, so you must take good care of them. Don't let anything go wrong on such an important occasion. Also, keep an eye on Youli and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble at the Qi family's place, or it will be a disgrace to the Jiang family." Qin Yulian walked to the door and said meaningfully to Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan, who were greeting the distinguished guests at the entrance.
Zhang Susu maintained her polite smile and replied meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. As long as there are no villains causing trouble, there won't be any problems. Youli's father and I will not let some villains who only know how to cause trouble behind the scenes ruin Youli's engagement banquet today."
Qin Yulian glanced around the gate, her smile concealing a dagger, and said, "This is, after all, the Qi family. I'm afraid my elder brother and sister-in-law don't have the ability to stop it. Look, on such an important day, Qi Huan's father, Qi Tianxiang, didn't even come to help greet the guests. He must have given up on Qi Huan. Once Qi Huan has no status in the Qi family, who will protect your troublemaking daughter? So you'd better watch yourselves."
