Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

This elevator accident has brought misfortune to many people in the Jiang family.

The inspection revealed that a certain part in the elevator had severe wear, but the personnel responsible for routine maintenance had failed to notice it.

Furthermore, the elevator manufacturers were completely shut out by the Jiang family and would never cooperate again.

Fortunately, Zhou Liwan was accompanied by Shen Nanzhou, so nothing bad happened. However, she has been listless and in poor spirits for the past two days.

But in order not to worry Jiang Hongshan, she forced herself to be energetic and followed Shen Nanzhou to make arrangements for the birthday celebration.

······

The birthday banquet of Jiang Hongshan, the head of the Jiang family, was attended by almost all the powerful and influential people in City A.

Among them are figures like Academician Jiang and Commander Meng, who hold positions of scientific research and military power.

Starting at six o'clock in the afternoon, the gates of the Jiang family's residence were bustling with people and vehicles.

The young masters and ladies of each family were also dressed in their finest attire to attend the event.

Zhou Qingya took Han Xiaofen's arm and followed Zhou Jianguo out of the car, her eyes momentarily unsure where to look.

This was the first time she had ever seen such luxury and splendor in person.

It was as if by stepping over this threshold, one could completely shed one's unbearable origins.

"This matter concerns the survival of the Zhou family, so you must not cause any more trouble. If you displease Old Master Jiang, you can forget about ever setting foot in the Zhou family again." Zhou Jianguo glanced blankly at the mother and daughter.

He looked cautiously at the powerful and influential people coming and going. If he could befriend the old man in front of everyone today, he wouldn't have to worry about that matter anymore.

A hint of malice flashed in the eyes of the mother and daughter, but they still smiled and agreed.

"Today, I will definitely apologize to Wanwan properly and ask for her forgiveness!" Han Xiaofen walked gracefully to Zhou Jianguo's side and gently took his arm.

Zhou Qingya took a step forward, ready to follow, when she was hit hard from behind, almost stumbling and falling.

The boy in the black suit walked straight past without turning his head, muttering maliciously, "A good dog doesn't block the way!"

Zhou Qingya glared at them resentfully, but she knew that everyone who came today was someone she couldn't afford to offend, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger.

"Hurry up and catch up!" Han Xiaofen said quickly when she saw that the person hadn't followed.

Zhou Qingya jogged over to catch up, mimicking the composed smiles of the other young ladies.

The interior of the Jiang family home is even more enchanting, with antique decorations and even the live band playing ancient musical instruments.

A gentle, classical melody drifted out.

A stage had been set up in the backyard, where opera was being performed. Many opera enthusiasts were sitting in the backyard, swaying their heads and nodding along with the performers on stage.

Zhou Liwan followed behind Jiang Hongshan, gracefully and appropriately introducing her grandfather to his business partners and old friends.

"Look, aren't those Academician Wang and Academician Jiang? The Jiang family is truly a top-tier wealthy family; the people they associate with aren't just ordinary businessmen, they're all genuine national talents." A person next to him whispered to his friend.

"Who knew? Look over there, isn't that Commander Meng with a serious face? It's not easy for ordinary people to see Commander Meng. That's why so many people want to curry favor with the Jiang family. With this connection, you're practically invincible."

"Hey, look who's that beautiful woman next to Grandpa Jiang?"

One of them turned his head to look, as if he knew a lot of gossip, and said with a smug look, "That's Grandpa Jiang's granddaughter, she's really something!"

Another person scoffed: "How great can she be? I heard she got arrested by the police the other day for going to a nightclub. I think she's just a spoiled brat!"

"Oh, you don't know this, but she's a top student in psychology! You all know about Academician Jiang's granddaughter's suicide attempt due to depression, right? She had been seeking treatment at a psychological counseling center for more than half a year without any results. But when she went there, she immediately saw the problem and resolved the issue with just a few words. Now she's recovered, and Academician Jiang even held a banquet to thank her the other day!"

"Wow, that's really something!"

Zhou Qingya stared quietly into the distance at the people who were surrounded by admirers, her hands clenched into fists.

His eyes were filled with resentment.

"Sister Wanwan~ I miss you so much!" Jiang Sangluo finally managed to pull Zhou Liwan, who wasn't being bombarded with questions by the other elders, and happily hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.

"Me too. How have you been lately? Have you encountered anything happy?" Zhou Liwan had a gentle smile on her lips, which was very warm. Just looking at you like that could make you feel as warm as being covered by the spring sunshine.

As if recalling something, Jiang Sangluo's eyes lit up: "Yes, I got first place in the whole grade in the interim exam. Our professors all said I was born to eat and drink dinner, and my parents were very happy."

At this point, Jiang Sangluo's tone became somewhat solemn, her eyes fixed on Zhou Liwan: "Sister Wanwan, if it weren't for you back then, my life might really have ended up like this. Now our whole family is very grateful to you~~"

Zhou Liwan grasped Sangluo's hand and said earnestly, "I believe that even without me, you would have succeeded in getting what you wanted. It's just that my appearance woke you up a little earlier."

As soon as Yao Ruofu arrived, she saw her sister tugging and pulling at another dog, and felt a surge of displeasure. She quickly stepped forward and casually pulled the two women's hands apart, then put her arm around Zhou Liwan's shoulder: "Wanwan, well, you haven't even called me in so long!"

Zhou Liwan happily retorted, "You know I've been very busy with company matters lately~"

"Others can contact their wives even when they're on the battlefield, and you're just looking for me in your spare time. What's the big deal? I think you don't care about our friendship at all!"

"Who is this, Sister Wanwan?"

Zhou Liwan quickly squeezed Yao Ruofu's arm, then introduced them with a smile: "This is Yao Ruofu, my best friend, and this is Jiang Sangluo, Academician Jiang's granddaughter."

Yao Ruofu raised her head haughtily and extended her hand perfunctorily: "Hello."

Jiang Sangluo didn't think too much about it, chuckled, and extended her hand to shake his: "Hello."

"Miss, there is a young master in the backyard who says he is an old acquaintance of yours and would like to invite you to come alone." A waiter bowed respectfully, interrupting the sisters' conversation.

"Young Master? An old acquaintance?" Zhou Liwan was a little confused. She didn't remember knowing any young man.

Could it be Tiger Tooth Brother?

Zhou Liwan, who had just guessed, immediately exclaimed with delight, "Okay, take me there, quick!"

"Hey, Wanwan!" Yao Ruofu called out hurriedly, as she had just arrived.

"You guys keep chatting, I'll be right back!"

The remaining two exchanged an awkward smile.

Yao Ruofu scratched her head sheepishly, looked around and seeing no familiar faces, she could only turn to Jiang Sangluo, that big mouth.

Her ability to be flexible and adaptable has always been one of her strengths.

"Little sister, are you still in college? What are you majoring in?"

When asked about her major, Jiang Sangluo proudly raised her head and said, "I'm a law student."

"That's so cool!" If one of her father's wives ever comes back with an illegitimate child, she can ask someone about the inheritance.

He immediately asked for Sangluo's contact information.
