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

Thinking of this, Jiang Yonghe immediately rushed to Qin Yulian, looked up with teary eyes and said, "Dad, hit me if you want. I know that Second Brother did such a foolish thing because he wanted to stand up for me in this family. All the mistakes are mine. The mistake is that I am no longer the young lady of the Jiang family, but I still dared to try to stand up for Sister Youli."

Jiang Zhao couldn't bear to see his beloved younger sister so wronged. No longer afraid, he raised his head, pulled his mother aside, walked to Jiang Yonghe's side, and looked at Grandpa Jiang with a look of grim determination. "Grandpa, this matter has nothing to do with Xiaohe. She has no idea about my plans. It was all my own idea. I just felt sorry for Xiaohe and couldn't bear to see her suffer again and again after Jiang Youli came back. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone."

Jiang Yonghe shook her head, her eyes red and choked with sobs, and said, "Second brother, you don't need to take all the blame on yourself. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have let Kitty do such a thing."

Jiang Zhao said with red eyes, "Xiao He, I told you, it has nothing to do with you!"

Then, fearlessly, he said again, "Grandpa, I accept the punishment! I only beg you not to take it out on Xiaohe!"

Grandpa Jiang snorted coldly, "I think you're a fool, still protecting your adopted sister even now!"

Jiang Zhao straightened his chest and said, "Grandpa, I should take responsibility for my own actions. I did it myself, and it has nothing to do with Xiao He!"

"You still dare to talk back!" Old Master Jiang was so angry that he smashed his cane at him.

Jiang Zhao didn't dodge; he simply withstood the blows from the cane.

Qin Yulian was heartbroken and was about to step forward when Jiang Yangxu grabbed her and scolded her in a deep voice, "Don't worry about him, he deserves it!"

Qin Yulian knew that no matter what, the old man would have to make a show of his stance, so she could only stomp her foot and glare resentfully at Jiang Youli, who had ruined her second son.

Seeing that Jiang Zhao didn't dodge and instead got a bloody bump on his forehead, Old Master Jiang's eyes immediately showed a hint of heartache. Then he looked at his granddaughter with difficulty, "Youli, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow and said half-jokingly, "How about we do as Mr. Qi suggested and remove Jiang Zhao from the Jiang family genealogy?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yangxu's face turned extremely ugly, and his eyes became terrifyingly cold.

Grandpa Jiang also frowned slightly, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with her suggestion.

Jiang Youli naturally knew that no matter how dissatisfied the old man was with Jiang Zhao, he wouldn't really disown Jiang Zhao as his grandson over such a trivial matter.

To put it bluntly, in the old man's heart, his newly adopted granddaughter was still not as important as his grandson Jiang Zhao, whom he had watched grow up over the past twenty years.

"Alright, Jiang Zhao has made a mistake and should be punished, but let Second Uncle handle it. Tonight is my welcome banquet, and I don't want to make a big scene here and spoil the fun for me and the other guests." It wasn't time to push things too far, so Jiang Youli didn't press the issue.

Anyway, her goal has been achieved.

Grandpa Jiang's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and he said sternly to Jiang Zhao, "Apologize to You Li now!"

No matter how unwilling Jiang Zhao was, he could only swallow his humiliation and bow his head to Jiang Youli to apologize: "I'm sorry, cousin!"

Jiang Youli could tell that he was deliberately emphasizing the words "cousin," as if afraid others wouldn't know his determination not to acknowledge her.

Jiang Youli didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, she smiled and said generously, "It's okay, cousin, just be more careful next time."

She emphasized the word "next time".

Because she firmly believed that Jiang Zhao would not give up easily.

Jiang Zhao looked up and met her disdainful gaze, which seemed to be a half-smile, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I will be careful."

Jiang Yehan spoke up at this moment, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, it seems that you two need to discipline your children properly, so that they won't embarrass the Jiang family in such important occasions in the future."

Jiang Yangxu admitted that he had lost this time!

“Brother is right. I will teach Zhao’er a lesson when I get back, and I will never let him act so recklessly again.”

After saying that, he turned to his son Jiang Zhao and adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe: "Aren't you going to take your sister back to change her clothes!"

Jiang Zhao didn't say anything, but grabbed Jiang Yonghe's wrist and strode away from the welcome banquet.

After the farce ended, Old Master Jiang sighed and said to Old Master Qi, "I apologize for tonight's events, Mr. Qi."

The old man of the Qi family looked at Jiang Youli with satisfaction and said, "It's nothing. If it weren't for your grandson making such a fuss, I wouldn't have known that the wife my grandson Qi Huan has chosen is so smart and capable, and so beloved by me."

Grandpa Jiang beamed: "It is my granddaughter's honor that Mr. Qi has such a high opinion of her."

The guests present were now certain that the old master of the Qi family had openly acknowledged the marriage between Qi Huan and the newly brought-back daughter of the Jiang family.

The young men who had previously harbored feelings for Jiang Yonghe began to get restless.

If Jiang Yonghe doesn't have to marry Qi Huan, wouldn't they have a chance?

Although they now know that Jiang Yonghe is not a young lady of the Jiang family, but only an adopted daughter, it does not affect her own excellence.

Even setting aside any financial benefits, just considering Jiang Yonghe's beauty and talent, marrying her would be a worthwhile investment!

Qi Yue's goal tonight was exactly that: he wanted to win over Jiang Yonghe.

Despite the commotion tonight, Qi Yue believes that Jiang Yehan, the eldest son of the Jiang family, is unambitious and incompetent, and the future of the Jiang family will definitely remain in the hands of Jiang Yangxu and his son.

Jiang Yangxu's willingness to marry his own daughter to Qi Huan, who is crippled in both legs, rather than his adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe, is enough to demonstrate how much he values ​​his adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe.

Getting Jiang Yonghe means getting the Jiang family's support in the future!

With the Jiang family's support, how could he not completely crush Qi Huan under his feet!

After the farce ended, Zhang Susu noticed that new guests had arrived outside the venue.

“Ahan is a member of the Duan family.”

Jiang Yehan nodded and walked alongside her to greet the last guests to arrive.

Duan Jinghan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking displeased. He seemed to have no interest in attending the welcoming banquet and was only exchanging perfunctory pleasantries with Jiang Yehan and Zhang Susu and her husband under the orders of his father, Duan Pinchao.

until—

He heard a familiar female voice coming from the center of the venue and immediately perked up.

Having resolved the issue of her evening gown, Jiang Youli lifted the hem of her dress and walked to the front of the large screen, confidently and generously greeting everyone, "Tonight is a welcome banquet for my return to the Jiang family. Although there was a slight mishap, it has been resolved. So, I hope all the guests present enjoy the food and drinks. There will be exciting performances later tonight for everyone who came to support me!"
