Jiang Xing didn't understand what Jiang Youli wanted to do either.

"That's not right." Jiang Zhao realized, "Brother, she wanted to provoke me, so she asked me to dance. Why did she send you to deliver the message?"

Jiang Xing said coldly, "Why ask so many questions? If you're not convinced, then accept her provocation."

"Oh, of course, I want to see what she's up to!" Jiang Zhao stood up with a look of disdain in his eyes and walked towards Jiang Youli.

At this moment, the music started, and Jiang Yonghe, who had walked to the middle of the dance floor with Qi Yue, began to dance gracefully, attracting the attention of many people.

"You danced really well," Qi Yue praised.

Jiang Yonghe smiled and said, "You too."

"Did you notice? So many men here are looking at you. You are so dazzling," Qi Yue continued to praise.

Jiang Yonghe was already used to these gazes.

You should know that she was hailed as a talented woman in Beijing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been recognized by Old Master Qi and chosen by him from among many wealthy young ladies to marry Qi Huan, who was about to become the heir.

Unfortunately……

Jiang Yonghe felt incredibly sorry for Qi Huan, whose legs were now crippled.

Looking across the entire capital city, who can compare to Qi Huan, whose career was once at its peak?

No one can compare to Qi Huan in terms of appearance, temperament, background, or achievements.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yonghe suddenly felt a little disinterested in Qi Yue's deliberate flattery. She forced a smile and said modestly, "Not at all, the main character tonight is Sister Youli. They are probably looking at me out of sympathy for me being scolded by Grandpa for the evening dress incident."

They're still far behind. This Qi Yue is no match for Qi Huan.

Even if Qi Yue becomes the heir of the Qi family in the future, it is estimated that he will have a hard time achieving great things.

The more Jiang Yonghe thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt, and she couldn't help but regret letting Jiang Youli marry Qi Huan in her place.

For a moment, she thought: Perhaps, even if Qi Huan's legs were crippled, it wouldn't be impossible for her to marry him?

Qi Yue also noticed Jiang Yonghe's perfunctory attitude and absent-mindedness, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Don't you think it's a pity?"

"what?"

Jiang Yonghe was puzzled by Qi Yue's sudden question.

"You were about to marry my brother, but then this accident happened to him." Qi Yue's eyes seemed to devour her.

Jiang Yonghe's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained gentle. "Brother Qi Huan is so outstanding. Of course I would feel sorry if I couldn't marry him."

"What if it were me?" Qi Yue's gaze seemed to pierce through her. "If I were the future heir of the Qi family, would you be willing to marry me?"

I didn't expect Qi Yue to be so straightforward.

In Jiang Yonghe's mind, Qi Yue had always been a very reserved and introverted person.

Jiang Yonghe was somewhat surprised. "You are Qi Huan's brother. I never had any thoughts about you before."

"You look down on me that much?" Qi Yue's face still had a smile on it, but there was a hint of malice in his smile.

Jiang Yonghe felt the hand that had been lightly resting on her waist suddenly tighten. She frowned, looked up to meet Qi Yue's gaze, felt a little nervous, and quickly said softly.

"Brother Qi Yue, I didn't mean to look down on you, I just..."

"No need to explain, I understand. No rush, I'll make you accept me." Qi Yue finished speaking and resumed his gentlemanly smile.

Jiang Yonghe was filled with trepidation when—

There was a commotion around us.

"Oh dear, this is interesting. Young Master Jiang is causing trouble for Jiang Youli again!"

"Knowing full well that Jiang Youli definitely couldn't ballroom dance, he still provoked her time and time again."

"Young Master Jiang is quite audacious. He was just punished by Old Master Jiang for the evening dress incident, and now he continues to launch a heavy attack on Jiang Youli."

"Hey, he's always been this unruly, like a wild horse. You know what, I actually like his type."

"Hehe, then after Jiang Youli rejects him, you can take the initiative to invite him."

"it is good!"

Yu Guangzhong and Jiang Youli also noticed it. Jiang Zhaozheng extended his hand and solemnly invited Jiang Youli to dance.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Youli wouldn't agree, she looked at Jiang Zhao, smiled, and calmly extended her hand to him.

Almost everyone was surprised.

"What's going on? How could she dare to agree?"

"And it's with Jiang Zhao, whom I don't get along with!"

"She's in big trouble now! Just wait and see how Jiang Zhao embarrasses her during her dance later!"

Jiang Xing remained completely unmoved, because he knew that it was Jiang Youli who had brought up the dancing.

Jiang Youli immediately attracted everyone's attention.

No one cared about how well Jiang Yonghe danced anymore; everyone was waiting to see if Jiang Youli would make a fool of herself.

"Look, now my brother Qi Huan is only good enough for this kind of woman." Qi Yue's voice rang in Jiang Yonghe's ears again.

Jiang Yonghe withdrew her gaze from Jiang Youli. Yes, she couldn't regret it!

She is no longer the young lady of the Jiang family. Everyone knows that she is just an adopted daughter. If she really marries Qi Huan, and Qi Huan loses power in the Qi family, she will have no way out!

All those twenty years of hard work have been wasted!

“Indeed, you are still more outstanding, Brother Qi Yue. I believe you will be the future heir of the Qi family.” Jiang Yonghe looked up and smiled sweetly at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue was very satisfied with Jiang Yonghe's change in attitude.

"Don't worry, I can give you the same glory that Qi Huan gave you before," Qi Yue assured him.

Jiang Yonghe continued to smile, but did not reply.

She needed to observe the situation further before making any promises to Qi Yue.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, cheerful laughter came from outside the venue.

On the dance floor, Jiang Youli and Jiang Zhao's coordination was absolutely terrible. Jiang Youli's dancing was indeed a mess, constantly stepping on Jiang Zhao's feet or almost tripping him.

"This is hilarious! Jiang Youli really can't dance at all!"

"But you know what, even though she can't dance, she looks completely calm and composed, not at all timid. In fact, she's quite amusing!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I wanted to say that too! I don't feel any disdain for her at all! I just find her quite interesting!"

"I actually feel more sorry for Jiang Zhao, hahaha, I think he's so pitiful..."

After being stepped on eighty-ninth time, and with his leather shoes visibly peeling, Jiang Zhao became furious!

"Jiang Youli, did you do this on purpose?!"

Jiang Youli was speechless. "Isn't this the kind of dance you wanted to see me do?"

"What do you mean I want to see you jump like that? It's not like you can just stop jumping like that!" Jiang Zhao was so angry at her words that he almost vomited blood.

Jiang Youli smiled slyly, "Yes, I can definitely not dance like that."

"Ha, you think I'd believe you!" Seeing that he hadn't achieved his goal of making Jiang Youli a laughingstock, and had instead almost become a laughingstock himself, Jiang Zhao gave up. "Forget it! I'm not jumping anymore!"

Just as Jiang Zhao was about to let go and leave, Jiang Youli's steps suddenly became light and orderly!

Noticing this subtle change, Jiang Zhao frowned and followed her dance steps, waiting to see what she was up to!
