The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

Jiang Yehan, who had walked up behind him, appeared calm on the surface, but his voice was unusually firm and powerful. "Second brother, you yourself said that Youli just came back. You are just her second uncle. How much do you know about her? Yet you go around telling people that she doesn't know the rules?"

"Since you haven't taught Youli for even a day, don't criticize her." Jiang Yehan's last sentence was almost accusatory towards Jiang Yangxu.

Qin Yulian, standing to the side, said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, that's not right. It's precisely because of your mentality that Youli is so arrogant and unruly. All the guests have arrived, but she hasn't come yet. She has no manners at all."

She naturally knew why Jiang Youli hadn't arrived yet.

It must have been Zhang Susu who told her to change out of the evening gown she had prepared.

However, evening gowns are all custom-made with intricate details, and it's impossible to put them on and take them off by oneself alone.

This back-and-forth process must have taken a lot of time.

Ah, those attending the welcoming banquet are all prominent and influential families in Beijing. Making the guests wait too long will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people.

The old man would definitely feel he had lost face and would be dissatisfied with Jiang Youli.

Either Jiang Youli arrives immediately without changing into her evening gown, in which case she'll be wearing the same dress as Yonghe, and it will be clear who is Snow White and who is the Ugly Duckling.

In short, Jiang Youli's welcoming banquet made the Jiang family lose face right from the start!

Although the old man of the Qi family did not show any change in expression, he still gave his grandson Qi Huan a meaningful look.

Qi Huan remained calm. He knew that something must have been holding Jiang Youli back, otherwise she wouldn't have given herself away so easily.

However, no matter what emergency situation he encountered, he believed that Jiang Youli would definitely have a way to solve it.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I was just a little late because I was delayed by some things. Isn't it a bit unfair of you to speak ill of me in front of my fiancé's family and so many distinguished guests?"

"Your behavior makes you look like one of those gossipy old women who like to talk behind people's backs, and your manners aren't much better either."

Upon hearing this confident and assertive female voice, Qi Huan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, instructed Cheng Jing to turn the wheelchair and look towards the entrance of the venue.

Almost everyone present looked out as well.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Jiang Youli, supported by Old Master Jiang's hand, walked step by step into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall suddenly became noisy.

"What's going on! The evening gown she's wearing is exactly the same as Jiang Yonghe's!"

"As far as I know, there is only one of these evening gowns. It is the latest design by the international design master Banlan, so one of the two of them must be a high-quality replica."

"My God, wearing a counterfeit item in this kind of occasion? Are you crazy?!"

That's right, Jiang Youli's evening gown was exactly the same as Jiang Yonghe's.

Jiang Yehan looked at Zhang Susu, who was standing next to Jiang Youli.

Zhang Susu knew her husband must be full of doubts and anxiety, so she quickly walked over to him, stood beside him, and remained calm, her previous anxiety gone.

"What's going on? Youli knew perfectly well that the evening gown had been tampered with, so why did she still wear it in public and endure the criticism?" Jiang Yehan asked with a serious and worried expression.

Zhang Susu whispered, "It's okay, just relax and watch how Youli handles it."

Although Jiang Yehan didn't understand what was going on, seeing his wife's expression, he figured that Youli had figured out a way to deal with it.

Qin Yulian felt humiliated by Jiang Youli's rebuttal and accusations, and said with dissatisfaction, "What could possibly be causing this delay? We've taken care of everything for your welcome banquet."

Jiang Youli said, "Grandpa suddenly had a headache on the way here. I happened to pass by and saw it, so I gave him two acupuncture needles and stayed with him to rest for a while. How come you're already scolding me for being ill-mannered without even knowing the cause? I think you're scheming, Auntie. You're clearly trying to air our dirty laundry in public." Saying this, she looked at Grandpa Jiang, "Grandpa, is your headache gone now?"

Grandpa Jiang nodded happily, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Unexpectedly, his granddaughter's medical skills are truly superb!

He had previously been skeptical of her confident claims that she possessed skills that others sought her help with, such as medical expertise. However, his long-standing headache flared up just now, and to his surprise, she cured him with a few acupuncture needles.

At this moment, the old master of the Qi family spoke up: "Mr. Jiang, it seems that your Miss Jiang's medical skills are quite remarkable."

Grandpa Jiang looked at Grandpa Qi and replied with a proud expression, "Yes, I was also surprised. I've been suffering from headaches for many years, and I've never felt so refreshed as I do today."

"Speaking of which, my health has never been good. Last time my condition worsened, my grandson Qi Huan went to great lengths to spend a lot of money at the auction to buy a precious medicinal herb for me, which finally relieved my illness."

"I'll let my granddaughter visit you whenever she has time, since we'll all be family from now on."

As the two elderly people were talking, Jiang Youli looked at Qi Huan, met his deep gaze, and winked playfully.

Qi Huan was also watching her. Seeing her playful appearance, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and joy seeped into his calm eyes.

This scene naturally caught the attention of Jiang Yonghe, who had been observing Jiang Youli. Her resentment was amplified, and she was filled with confusion.

Have Jiang Youli and Qi Huan already met?

How did the two of them start exchanging glances?

Qi Huan had always been cold and polite to me before, so why was she so tender and affectionate towards Jiang Youli, this wild woman!

Jiang Youli withdrew her gaze, looked at Qin Yulian, and questioned, "The reason I was a little late was indeed because Grandpa's headache delayed me, so does Second Aunt have anything else to say?"

Qin Yulian was speechless, she hadn't expected that she would actually be fooled!

Grandpa Jiang also gave his second daughter-in-law a disapproving look, "Tonight is Youli's welcome banquet. As Youli's second aunt, you actually slandered her behind her back without even knowing the facts. I think you are the one who has no manners!"

Qin Yulian, feeling snubbed, quickly explained, "Dad, I was just worried that Youli would embarrass the Jiang family in this kind of situation..."

Old Master Jiang interrupted, "Alright! Shut up! You're the one who disgraces the Jiang family the most!"

Qin Yulian dared not continue to displease the old man, so she had no choice but to suppress her displeasure.

Jiang Youli had no intention of letting the matter drop and continued, "Grandpa, I think Second Aunt just wants me to lose face so that you won't be able to stand me."

Qin Yulian originally intended to let the matter drop first and then attack Jiang Youli with the evening gown incident, but she didn't expect that Jiang Youli would actually keep harping on her.

She was furious and sternly rebuked him, "Youli, I am still your elder. How can you slander your elder in public?"

"Second Aunt, do you know very well whether I'm slandering you or not? If you didn't want me to embarrass myself at my welcome banquet and make Grandpa unhappy with me, why did you make our Jiang family's adopted daughter, Jiang Yonghe, specially wear the exact same evening dress as me tonight?"
