Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

Jiang Molan left without hesitation, and Jiang Zhuhua didn't linger either. Since Jiang Xingjia had already chosen to ignore her, staying any longer would seem rather tactless.

Aside from those sitting here, Jiang Zhuhua only took a few steps into the crowd, and people came up to greet him.

The Jiang family's business is very large, but this Mr. Jiang also has his own resources and connections. It's just that the relationships within their family are rather delicate, so everyone needs to be careful.

"This Mr. Wang's family is in the food business. We've worked with him before. He's a bit of a womanizer."

Wang Xianghai whispered a reminder to his boss: the boss never remembered these people's names unless they worked together frequently. He was already used to this kind of work.

"President Jiang, it's been a while. You're still as impressive as ever."

No sooner had they finished speaking than the man approached, carrying a glass. A seasoned drinker, his face was slightly oily, his belly was protruding, and his skin was somewhat loose.

When he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes droop slightly, giving him a kind and gentle look.

"Mr. Wang, you look so pleased with yourself. Have you made any big deals lately?"

She took a glass of wine, took two steps forward, and lightly clinked glasses with the other person. Her red lips only sipped a tiny bit of the wine.

Jiang Zhuhua only asked a couple of polite questions.

"It's not a big deal. Thanks to President Jiang, the products are selling alright."

Mr. Wang sized up the woman in front of him. After the divorce, she showed no signs of dejection. On the contrary, she seemed to have quickly adjusted her state and was even more calm and composed than before.

This makes people even more wary, and it's unclear whether they really have a lot of confidence.

"President Jiang, why didn't you bring your child?"

Mr. Wang asked a question. "There are many men and women here today, some with their families, and their children are playing together in the backyard."

"He needs to go to bed early; who knows when this will end?"

Jiang Zhuhua's replies remained polite and courteous. Perhaps they truly had run out of things to talk about. That Mr. Wang actually steered the conversation towards his assistant.

"Assistant Wang, let's go out for drinks sometime."

"sure."

The situation was a bit awkward, but fortunately, other people joined the conversation. They chatted about trivial things, and the atmosphere warmed up a bit.

They chatted about their respective industries and exchanged compliments.

"Boss, Jiang Chongwen and Jiang Shangwu are here."

Although Wang Xianghai was chatting with these people, his eyes were not idle. Upon seeing the newcomers, he quickly alerted his boss.

As for why he addressed those two by their full names, it was something the boss instructed him to do.

"Hmm. Don't worry about it."

Jiang Zhuhua peered through the crowd at the entrance to see what the two people looked like, but the two people paid no attention and headed straight for Jiang Xing's house.

The atmosphere here is lively, as if it hasn't been affected at all.

"President Chu."

A man in a black suit and a black earring was casually hanging on another man, calling out a name in a tone that seemed both teasing and playful.

"What are you looking at?"

As the man spoke, he maliciously blew a breath into the ear of the man referred to as President Chu.

Chu Lian pushed the person away, his brows furrowing, his disdain barely concealed.

"Don't blow air into my ear, it's disgusting."

Chu Lian pulled his gaze away from the woman in the crowd.

"Isn't it pretty? She's single now, is she feeling the stirrings of first love? You iron tree."

Shen Lin asked with a smile, then leaned back against him again, while touching his earphones with his other hand.

On this occasion, he was also wearing headphones with piano music playing in his ears.

"Feeling romantic? I'm just wondering how much benefit she can bring me."

Appearance doesn't matter; what matters is a person's ability. Chu Lian values ​​the worth behind her.

"Tsk, so clueless about romance. If you're only after money, why don't you go talk to her? If that doesn't work, go for it. Once you have her, her family's businesses will be yours, won't they?"

Shen Lin finished his entire glass of wine and offered a somewhat malicious suggestion.

Who is Jiang Zhuhua? She's the kind of person who managed to take all her assets from the Pei family after the divorce. Even after being brought back to the Jiang family, she didn't let them touch her businesses.

Even if Chu Lian really married the other party, she wouldn't gain anything. But Shen Lin was happy to say it like that for fun.

"Did you drink alcohol into your brain? Go to the hospital for a brain cleaning."

Chu Lian moved a little further away from him, disgusted. This guy's words were always outrageous. Absurdly outrageous.

"Tch, you're criticizing me again. You're always so proper in front of others, why can't you talk nicely to me?"

Shen Lin tried to grab him by the waist, but the man dodged her. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and turned to drink another glass of wine.

He picked up another cup and carried it into the crowd.

He even turned around and raised an eyebrow at Chu Lian.

"Please step aside so I can have a drink with President Jiang."

Shen Lin, holding a wine glass, squeezed into the crowd.

Jiang Zhuhua looked at the young man who had suddenly squeezed in from a group of middle-aged people and suddenly found him pleasing to the eye.

The young man who entered had dyed his hair silver-white, wore black earrings, and a black suit. Although it should have been a formal suit, he managed to exude a carefree and dashing air. Most importantly, his skin was fair, almost rosy.

He even casually had his earphones in.

It felt as if suddenly, the wind from the wilderness blew into the sultry summer.

"Sister, you're stunningly beautiful, and your business is booming. How about we become friends and hang out sometime?"

Shen Lin smiled and extended his wine glass. The knuckles of his fingers holding the glass were pink.

"Okay."

Being surrounded by a group of people talking about work had become quite annoying for Jiang Zhuhua. Wanting to extricate himself from this circle, he readily agreed.

He raised his glass and lightly clinked it with the other person's, taking only a small sip. Shen Lin, however, downed both glasses in one gulp. He drank with great gusto, showing no fear of getting drunk.

"Everyone, let me take this person to make friends first, and then you can continue chatting."

Shen Lin was now completely satisfied. He said, "How could someone who's only in his twenties possibly want to be surrounded by a group of people in their forties talking about work and performance? They might even talk about marriage and relationships."

He pushed through the crowd, making an exaggerated gesture of invitation. Jiang Zhuhua didn't stand on ceremony, politely exchanging a few words with those around him before walking directly out of the circle.

Shen Lin took almost no detours and brought the person directly to Chu Lian.

"Sister, would you like to go on a blind date? This guy in front of me is 185cm tall, has a great figure, graduated from a prestigious university, and works independently. Most importantly, apart from his slightly foul mouth, he has no bad habits."

Shen Lin grabbed the person and started introducing them.
