Jiang Yonghe once again underestimated Jiang Youli's courage.

She did indeed intend to showcase her talents at the welcome banquet and outshine Jiang Youli.

But definitely not in this negative way!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Youli put her directly on the hot seat!

Fortunately-

Her popularity and reputation in Beijing's elite circles still earned her the approval of many.

"Jiang Yonghe's skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are top-notch in Beijing and even nationwide. When she represented the school in competitions, she always came in first or second place. She's not just bragging."

"Yes, Jiang Youli's open provocation is a bit too arrogant."

"No matter how unwilling we are, we have to accept it. Jiang Yonghe is a true talented woman, while she, even if she can dance ballroom dance, so what? Just like Jiang Yonghe said, all she knows is growing vegetables, farming, washing clothes and cooking."

Jiang Yonghe may not be able to say anything else, but when it comes to talent, she has never lost to these rich young ladies of the same age.

Otherwise, how could the old master of the Qi family have chosen her from among so many young ladies who wanted to marry Qi Huan for a marriage alliance?

As for Grandpa Jiang, since Jiang Youli has gained Grandpa Qi's approval and favor, Grandpa Jiang will tacitly allow Jiang Youli to do whatever she wants as long as Grandpa Qi doesn't say anything.

Looking at Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian, although their expressions were not good, they dared not do anything out of line in front of Old Master Jiang because of the incident with Jiang Zhao's evening dress earlier.

Jiang Zhao knew that Jiang Youli wanted to embarrass Xiao He in public, so he scoffed and said disdainfully, "What's there to be afraid of! Xiao He, show her your talent! Make her admit defeat wholeheartedly!"

At this point, Jiang Yonghe had no choice but to accept the challenge!

Now, if she wants to turn things around, the only way is to completely crush Jiang Youli!

Even if they know that her mother switched her baby, and that she is just an adopted daughter of the Jiang family, so what?

As long as she is good enough, she deserves to continue being a wealthy heiress!

She will still have many wealthy young men flocking to her!

Having figured this out, Jiang Yonghe stood up, a smile on her face, and nodded gracefully to Jiang Youli, "Since it's Sister Youli who wants to learn, then I'll make a fool of myself here."

Jiang Youli said, "Offer it, let me see how ugly it is."

Everyone: "..."

Qi Yue, holding a champagne glass, walked over to Qi Huan and, with a kind expression, advised, "From now on, the newly brought-back young lady of the Jiang family will be your fiancée, brother. At first, no one was optimistic about her, but just now, she managed to change the minds of many people in the circle with her skillful ballroom dancing. Now, she dares to openly provoke Jiang Yonghe, a famous talented woman in Beijing. For the sake of your own reputation, brother, you shouldn't let her run wild."

Qi Huan smiled and said, "I didn't realize it before, but now I realize that Xiao Li'er is right. You do have a problem with your brain. Nothing has even started yet, and you're already looking down on people."

Qi Yue's expression changed, and it took him a while to force a smile. "Since Big Brother's legs became crippled, his words have become increasingly sharp."

Qi Huan touched her legs and sighed, "Yes, just like Qi Yu said, these legs have made me a bit more sensitive and suspicious. You have to be careful lately and don't provoke me. If I lose control, I might accidentally kill you. You should also advise Qi Yu at home. Before, with me protecting her, she could act recklessly, but if I wanted to crush her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant."

Qi Yue's face darkened. "Brother, why make it sound so serious? Qi Yu is just causing trouble at home."

Qi Huan sighed and said with a regretful smile, "There's nothing I can do. Being crippled has twisted my mind."

"Big brother is really joking." Qi Yue glanced at him. "If big brother really has psychological problems, he should get treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, Grandpa will probably keep delaying the matter of succession."

After saying that, he walked away.

Qi Huan glanced disdainfully at Qi Yue's back, her dark eyes darkening, and her fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the wheelchair.

Qi Yue, you will soon understand what it means to be insatiable.

I could have ensured your life and that of Qi Yu would be smooth sailing and filled with luxury, but you insisted on courting your own death.

The center of the venue had all kinds of musical instruments: piano, violin, cello, guitar, drum set...

Jiang Yonghe was the first to walk to the piano, open the lid, and select a piece that is recognized worldwide as extremely difficult. She then played the entire piece in one go.

She sat gracefully, her nimble fingers flying swiftly across the black and white piano keys, her whole demeanor as noble as a princess.

"As expected of Jiang Yonghe, a talented woman from Beijing, she played this very difficult piece as if it were child's play."

"Of course, she has won more awards since she was a child than we have ever eaten any delicacies!"

Jiang Zhao took the lead in clapping and cheering, "Great! Xiao He played so well!"

Jiang Xing's eyes also showed joy.

Qin Yulian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Zhang Susu sitting opposite her and said, "Yonghe is indeed a good daughter I have carefully cultivated. Look at how she plays the piano. It is truly wonderful. Whether it is her temperament or her talent, it is something that Youli cannot compare to."

Zhang Susu retorted sarcastically, "It wasn't for nothing that Li Cuiping risked going to jail to switch her daughter with someone else. Now, even though I'm in jail, at least my daughter is being well taken care of by my sister-in-law and is shining brightly."

The Zhang Susu of the past was as gentle and refined as a chrysanthemum; she would never have engaged in such a verbal battle with Qin Yulian.

But now she can't stand the slightest criticism of Jiang Youli, and her mouth has become sharp and witty.

Indeed, a mother's love makes her strong.

Qin Yulian was furious, "You..."

She hesitated for a long time, unsure how to refute him.

Finally, she sneered, "Yonghe is a sentimental child, unlike Youli, who cuts off relations at the slightest dissatisfaction. She's clearly a cold-hearted person. No matter how good you are to her now, sister-in-law, if anything displeases her in the future, she'll probably turn around and run off with someone else!"

Zhang Susu scoffed, "Ridiculous. What you've done is heartbreaking, not something that would make Youli dissatisfied. Besides, who knows whether your adopted daughter values ​​feelings or interests?"

Qin Yulian wanted to argue, but Jiang Yangxu said seriously, "Alright, why say these things to your sister-in-law who is a new mother and may lose her temper?"

Qin Yulian smiled and said, "That's true. My sister-in-law has never raised a child from a young age, so she naturally doesn't know how much effort and emotion it takes to raise a child. How can she easily give up on her?"

This used to be a knot in Zhang Susu's heart.

She is speechless whenever this topic is mentioned.

But now, Zhang Susu doesn't need to care about not having children. Youli is her child, her precious daughter!

Amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, Jiang Yonghe stood up and smiled sweetly at Jiang Youli, "Sister Youli, what else would you like to see me perform? Also, if you really want to learn, I can teach you."

She casually pointed to the musical instruments placed around the room, "Not just the piano, I can teach you all the instruments here."
