The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing
Chapter 42 Qi Huan's Ignoring of Jiang Yonghe
Qin Yulian pretended to be scared and took a step back, saying with a puzzled look, "Sister-in-law, you're so scary. What do you mean by 'intentional' or 'not intentional'? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Zhang Susu said, "Are you all so heartless that you want Youli to lose face in front of so many prestigious families? No matter what, Youli is still your own daughter!"
She almost blurted out the last three words, "my dear daughter."
Hearing this, Qin Yulian was too lazy to pretend anymore and scoffed, "My own daughter? From the moment she signed the agreement to sever ties, she was no longer my own daughter! She is now your and my elder brother's daughter. You and my elder brother have to keep a close eye on her and not let her embarrass the Jiang family as soon as she comes back! Otherwise, the old man may not be able to tolerate her in the future."
After saying that, she returned to her husband Jiang Yangxu's side with a smug look on her face.
Zhang Susu was almost completely exhausted. She gripped her husband Jiang Yehan's arm tightly. "I'm going to find You Li now and have her change that evening dress..."
It should still be in time!
As long as you don't wear the same outfit as someone else, you won't get caught up in the controversy of whether the evening gown is real or fake!
Jiang Yehan grabbed her hand and nodded: "Okay, I'll handle things here first."
Zhang Susu exchanged polite greetings with the passing guests as she walked towards the villa in the East District, and took out her phone to dial Jiang Youli's number.
……
At the lavish banquet, the elegantly dressed young men and women gathered around Jiang Yonghe as soon as she appeared, showering her with compliments.
"Wow, Yonghe, you look so beautiful tonight! Even I, a woman, am completely captivated by you, let alone men."
"I've been eyeing your evening gown for so long, but I could never get my hands on it. Turns out you've already reserved it."
"But only you, Yonghe, can wear this evening gown so beautifully."
Hearing these flattering words, a hint of smugness appeared in Jiang Yonghe's eyes.
It's always been like this; wherever she is, she always steals the spotlight.
So even though tonight is Jiang Youli's welcome banquet, she will be the only one to be the main character!
And unfortunately, Jiang Youli, who was supposed to be the main character tonight, will be wearing the same outfit as her.
Zhuangshan is not terrible, whoever is ugly is embarrassed.
And now, we need to add one more—
Whoever makes the high-quality imitation is the one who's embarrassed.
As the true daughter of the Jiang family, what could be more embarrassing and shameful than appearing at her own welcoming banquet wearing a counterfeit?
"By the way, Yonghe, I heard that the young lady your uncle and aunt brought back is quite plain-looking, far less attractive than you. Is that true?" A group of young ladies and gentlemen surrounded Jiang Yonghe, asking her questions.
Jiang Yonghe smiled and said from the crowd, "Actually, although Sister Youli grew up in the village and her skin is a bit tanned, she is still quite good-looking."
"Yonghe, you're being so polite. It seems you're really just average."
Jiang Zhao, standing to the side, bluntly said, "That's right, she's just an ordinary-looking country bumpkin, far inferior to Xiao He."
The young masters and rich girls said, "How good-looking can someone be, brought back from a mountain village? They probably don't even know basic social etiquette. And they still throw such a grand welcome banquet. Aren't they afraid of embarrassing themselves?"
"She's just putting on a brave face. After being poor for so long, she suddenly became rich and now she wants everyone to know that she's a superior person."
"Hehe, I guess it's that nouveau riche mentality."
"Fortunately, she is now a daughter of a wealthy family. Even if her circumstances are ordinary, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to marry into a rich family."
In response to these criticisms, Jiang Yonghe took a small sip of red wine and smiled without saying a word.
Why hasn't she arrived yet?
"They really think they're something special, making us guests wait."
Jiang Yonghe smiled and said, "After all, I am the main character tonight, so naturally I will wait until all the guests have arrived before making my grand entrance."
"Speaking of which, who else hasn't arrived yet?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yonghe said, "The Qi family hasn't arrived yet, and neither has the Duan family."
The Qi family is the largest wealthy family in Beijing, and the Duan family also holds a prominent position in Beijing. Both families are the most prestigious and powerful families present tonight.
Upon hearing about the Qi family, these young masters and ladies became gossipy again.
"Yonghe, could it be that Qi Huan, the eldest young master of the Qi family, is really crippled?"
"I heard that I can't have children anymore, is that true?"
Jiang Zhao didn't want to put Jiang Yonghe in a difficult position, so he spoke up for her: "The eldest young master of the Qi family is crippled in both legs, and as for whether he can have children, we don't know."
"Then... Yonghe, your marriage to the eldest son of the Qi family..."
Jiang Zhao added, "Xiao He's marriage to the eldest son of the Qi family has been cancelled because my cousin, whom I just brought back, has taken the initiative to marry the eldest son of the Qi family."
He deliberately emphasized the words "cousin".
These young masters and heiresses understood perfectly, "Hey, with her qualifications, it's already a good thing she can marry the eldest son of the Qi family."
Just then—
There was a noise coming from the doorway.
People from the Qi family have arrived.
All the VIPs in the room looked out.
"What's going on? Even the old master of the Qi family came to show his support!"
"Is this to see the future granddaughter-in-law?"
"I guess if they saw that this newly brought-back heiress was far inferior to Jiang Yonghe, they would probably be furious."
"The eldest son of the Qi family is as handsome as ever."
"It's just a pity that my legs are now useless..."
The young ladies all looked at Qi Huan, who was being pushed in by his assistant in a wheelchair. He sat calmly in the wheelchair, his expression serene, his handsome face seemingly from another dimension.
Their faces were filled with a mixture of amazement and regret, while most of the wealthy young men were more gloating.
If it were the old Qi Huan, he would probably have dominated them in this kind of situation.
But now, this Qi Huan is nothing special, even shorter than them.
"Speaking of which, although Qi Yue, the second young master of the Qi family, is the younger brother of the eldest young master of the Qi family, he is completely inferior to him in terms of looks."
"Yes, that's strange."
These words eventually reached the ears of Qi Huan and Qi Yue.
Qi Huan smiled without saying a word, her gaze sweeping across the crowd.
Not seeing Jiang Youli, he quickly looked away, ignoring Jiang Yonghe's greeting.
Jiang Yonghe, who was in the crowd, saw Qi Huan looking over and raised her hand, intending to greet him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Huan did not respond to her, but instead calmly withdrew her gaze. She lowered her hand awkwardly, feeling resentful.
Previously, Qi Huan was the pride of the Qi family and a legend in Beijing's business world. It was one thing for him to be indifferent to me after the marriage, but now that he is crippled, what is there left for him to be so arrogant about!
Qi Yue, on the other hand, clenched his fist slightly. He couldn't stand hearing anyone say that he was inferior to Qi Huan in some way!
So he remembered the woman who said those words and secretly vowed that when he became the heir of the Qi family, the first thing he would do was to deal with this woman!
Upon seeing Old Master Qi, Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian immediately stepped forward to greet him, ahead of Jiang Yehan, saying warmly, "We didn't expect Old Master Qi to be here as well."
Grandpa Qi nodded, "Come and see the wife my grandson has chosen."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yonghe, who was in the center of attention not far away, and quickly looked away. "She hasn't arrived yet?"
Jiang Yangxu said helplessly, "Yes, that's just how Youli is. She hasn't been well-behaved since we brought her back. I thought my older brother and sister-in-law had already taught her a lot."
