On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

As soon as Jiang Yao appeared in the banquet hall, there were quite a few socialites who came tonight. They all tried to make a good impression on Shen Yanchuan, hoping to catch his eye.

After all, his wife's infidelity was already known within the elite circles, and she was also an illegitimate daughter with no background. Shen Yanchuan would dump her sooner or later.

Jiang Yao didn't expect that her appearance would not attract the favor and admiration of men, but rather the attention of several socialites.

"My God! Where did you buy this bag? I heard there's only one in City A, I never expected it to be in your hands."

"You're really something! Who did you get this bag through?!"

"It's really beautiful; the limited edition is definitely eye-catching."

Jiang Yao's face flushed slightly as she nervously clutched her bag, while simultaneously enjoying the envious and jealous glances from these people.

Just then, Xia Xiaomeng stepped in, immediately prompting the socialites to come forward and greet her, "Young Madam, you've arrived."

Jiang Yao turned her head and glanced at her. She had seen her before at the Shen family banquet. Xia Xiaomeng also recognized her. She smiled and stepped forward, "Miss Jiang, you look beautiful tonight."

"Young Madam, you are very beautiful too!" Jiang Yao complimented.

Xia Xiaomeng's gaze also fell on Jiang Yao's bag. After all, she had inquired about this bag before, but the store said it had already been bought by a mysterious person. She didn't expect it to appear in Jiang Yao's hands. A feeling of jealousy flashed through her heart. It turned out that Su Chenxi had bought it and given it to Jiang Yao.

"This bag suits you perfectly!" Xia Xiaomeng said with a smile.

Jiang Yao suppressed her guilt and tried her best to appear confident. "Thank you."

As guests arrived one after another, Shen Jianchang and his father walked in. Several political figures came forward to greet them, and Xia Xiaomeng went over and took her husband's arm to greet them as well.

A short while later, Jiang Liguo and his wife appeared. When Jiang Liguo saw his second daughter's sexy outfit, he felt embarrassed, but his wife had told him not to interfere, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.

"What time is it? The host for tonight is late! Humph! Young people just don't know the rules." Shen Yaorong scolded in front of the guests.

The other guests smiled awkwardly, not daring to speak. After all, they had come here tonight to make friends with the new head of the Shen family. If they said something they shouldn't have, and it got back to him, who knew what the consequences would be?

At 6:50, at the hotel entrance, Zhou Youchen quickly got out of the car, tossed the car keys to Tong Sheng beside him, and opened the back door to welcome his boss out.

Shen Yanchuan got out of the car first, and then, under the lights, an elegant and slender figure stepped down. On the car frame, the man's large hand protected her, showing care and consideration.

Su Chenxi got out of the car, and the man reached out his arm to her. Su Chenxi cooperated and took his arm, walking towards the lobby.

"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, you've arrived. This way, please." The hotel manager greeted them, personally leading the way and opening the elevator, with several staff members following behind to provide assistance at any time.

Su Chenxi took a deep breath. This was the first time she had attended such a high-class banquet, and tonight she was the leading lady. A sense of nervousness welled up inside her.

Shen Yanchuan noticed her nervousness in the elevator. His deep gaze fell on her face. He pulled his hand away from hers, and Su Chenxi was stunned. Then, the man took her hand and held it tightly with his fingers intertwined.

Compared to holding his arm, his warm, thick palm conveyed a comforting strength and a sense of sweetness.

Su Chenxi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she followed him shyly toward the banquet hall.

At this moment, everyone in the banquet hall was waiting for the arrival of tonight's main character.

At this moment, the staff wearing headsets in the banquet hall received some kind of order and immediately gathered at the door, clearly indicating that an important person had arrived.

Just then, the banquet door was pushed open from the outside, revealing a tall, imposing figure with a powerful aura standing outside, holding the hand of a slender and graceful girl.

The man was born with noble features, a straight nose and thin lips, a reserved temperament, and an inherent sharpness. His dark suit wrapped around his tall and strong body, and to women, he exuded an indescribable sexy charm.

Good heavens! Is he really the mysterious second young master of the Shen family who has been crippled for ten years? Seeing his photos and videos is nothing compared to the shock of seeing him in person.

Xia Xiaomeng's pupils widened. Compared to Shen Yanchuan's charm, what immediately struck her heart was Su Chenxi's evening gown—a top-tier luxury evening gown that she couldn't afford to buy or rent.

Now, however, it's worn by Su Chenxi, making her radiant and stunningly beautiful.

"Look, her bag, she's even carrying this bag."

"No way! Two bags appeared tonight? Could one of them be a fake? I heard there's only one in China."

Jiang Yao's heart was racing from Shen Yanchuan's appearance when suddenly several pairs of eyes were fixed on the bag in her hand. It was the same bag that the socialites had been staring at her with mockery and disdain earlier.

Jiang Yao was puzzled when her gaze suddenly fell on the bag Su Chenxi was carrying. Her face flushed red, and she hurriedly hid the bag behind her back, glaring resentfully at Su Chenxi.

Just then, a cold laugh rang out, "I thought she was carrying a real bag, but it turns out she's carrying a fake one!"

"These days, are there still people who dare to carry fake bags? Aren't they afraid of being reported and sued by the brand?"

"The people I despise most in my life are those who use counterfeit goods to show off. They're disgusting."

These socialites deliberately spoke loudly, and Jiang Yao heard every word. Her face turned red, and she turned away, grabbing her bag and fleeing towards the restroom.

Xia Xiaomeng also noticed Su Chenxi's bag. It seems that Su Chenxi's appearance not only provoked her, but also offended Jiang Yao.

"Mr. Shen, hello, I'm Zhang Ze from Huafeng International. It's a pleasure to meet you." A middle-aged man stepped forward and introduced himself.

"Hello," Shen Yanchuan greeted with a smile.

The political and business elites who had been accompanying Shen Yaorong and his son just moments before all turned to Shen Yanchuan, introducing themselves and greeting him.

Seeing this, Shen Jianchang sneered, "Dad, look, he's stolen all your prestige."

"Hmph! Let him be arrogant for now; he'll fall harder later." Shen Yaorong huffed angrily.

Shen Jianchang stared at Shen Yanchuan, who shone brightly in the crowd, with jealousy and resentment. This was the fame and status he had always dreamed of, but now it belonged to the person he despised the most. This feeling was more painful than death.

Su Chenxi stood beside Shen Yanchuan, surrounded by friendly and respectful gazes, which she returned with a smile.

Beside him, Jiang Liguo was also eager to go forward and greet him, but unfortunately, those surrounding Shen Yanchuan were all business people with greater achievements than him, so he didn't dare to go forward for a moment.

Su Meifen looked at her eldest daughter, who was shining brightly in the crowd, and then looked up to find her second daughter, but she was not there. She couldn't help but sigh.

She thought to herself, "If only my second daughter were by Shen Yanchuan's side right now, then I wouldn't feel so lost and pessimistic."

Jiang Liguo, standing to the side, also said with regret, "If it were Yaoyao who had married into the family, I, as her father-in-law, would have been valued by the Shen family even more."

In the restroom, Jiang Yao forcefully shoved the bag into the trash can. Her face flushed red and her eyes brimming with tears of anger, she had completely ruined her good mood for the evening. Because of this bag, she had become a laughingstock.

"Su Chenxi, I hate you, I hate you to the core..." Jiang Yao said resentfully and angrily.

At that moment, a similarly agitated figure stood at the door. Seeing Jiang Yao's disheveled appearance, Xia Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with calculation. She sighed and comforted her, "Miss Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Yao turned around with red eyes, looked at Xia Xiaomeng, and quickly wiped away her tears, "It's okay."

“Tonight, someone else suffered the same trauma as you. That person is me. The evening gown she's wearing was originally one I had my eye on, but she ended up wearing it. We're both pitiful people.” Xia Xiaomeng looked at her with sympathy.

Jiang Yao stared at her in astonishment, "You're the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, how could you lose to her?"

"What young mistress? The Shen Group is now in her husband's hands, and Old Madam Shen dotes on her alone. What am I? I hate her just as much as you do, I hate her to the core." Xia Xiaomeng said through gritted teeth, the hatred in her eyes was genuine.

“The identity of the second young mistress of the Shen family originally belonged to me. My grandmother and the old lady of the Shen family had a life-and-death friendship. She is enjoying the fate that belongs to me. I wish I could kill her and take back everything that belongs to me.”

Xia Xiaomeng was taken aback. "You were supposed to marry into the Shen family? How did she steal you away?"

"Don't even mention it. In short, the position of the second young mistress of the Shen family should be mine," Jiang Yao said firmly.

Xia Xiaomeng had already guessed it: Shen Yanchuan was lame before, and Jiang Yao was unwilling to marry him, so Su Chenxi took his place in the marriage alliance, which led to her current deep regret.

"Miss Jiang, now that we're friends, how about we keep in touch and work together to deal with her?"

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up with joy. She was happy to have another person to deal with Su Chenxi.

"Young Madam, what are we going to do?" Jiang Yao asked.

“Let’s kick her out of the Shen family and reclaim your status as the second young mistress of the Shen family,” Xia Xiaomeng said.

A strong desire flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes. "Okay, I'm willing to do anything for you."
