Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again! -
Chapter 258 Master-Apprentice Banquet 4
Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Master-Apprentice Banquet 4
The entry to this banquet was strictly controlled, no one could enter without an invitation, and even those with invitations could only bring one guest.
She was brought in by her daddy, and the support light board she was holding had been brought in secretly by her.
These noble ladies from wealthy families simply didn’t engage in idol-chasing; she was the only die-hard fan of Yingtong there, so naturally she had to cheer and support her.
This time, she represented not just one person, but thirty million fans’ support and love for Yingtong.
Mr. Jiang’s eyes twitched uncontrollably— he said his eyelids had been twitching all morning, and it turned out to be caused by this little ancestor again!
He stared at his daughter, whom he had spoiled to the point of lawlessness, with puffing cheeks and eyes wide with anger, and his temples throbbed painfully.
He scolded her with a low bark, "Yingying, what are you doing? Put that down now!"
Jiang Ying, holding the support light board, slightly lowered her thick and long eyelashes, her lips pressed tight, and her delicate fingers clutched the light board tightly. Just as she slowly lowered it, she mustered up the courage from who knows where, as if struck by some social badass syndrome, and suddenly raised the light board high, "Yingtong is awesome! Yingtong fans will love you forever!"
"..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Qi looked at the girl being watched by everyone with a smile on his face. She was just so unique, daring to do what she wanted even in such circumstances.
Perhaps out of fear of being scolded by Uncle Jiang, she quickly hid behind Yun Yue, "Cousin, help me."
Most people present knew Jiang Ying, so they couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw her actions.
Miss Jiang Ying was indeed extraordinary.
Jiang Hua saw her hiding behind Yun Yue, looking pitiful and calling for Xiao Chen’s help; his steps, which he had just taken, instantly halted.
He had never had the upper hand in front of this nephew, for everytime Jiang Ying made a mistake, she would hide behind Xiao Chen or Jiang Qiong, and he was helpless against it.
"I didn’t expect a young lady from a wealthy family like Yingying to like me too. It seems I am still rather likable. Yingying’s candid and straightforward nature is really rare. I can see that Uncle Jiang dotes on Yingying a lot."
Ruan Yingtong came forward to defuse the situation, her voice soft and pleasant, striking the right tone.
Jiang Ying nodded in agreement; her daddy certainly doted on her.
Jiang Qi took up her lead, "Miss Ruan Yingtong’s self-composed piano music is so enchanting and captivating, and she is so beautiful. Moreover, being a star, it’s natural for her to be liked by so many."
Jiang Wenshan couldn’t leave Xiao Yingtao embarrassed, so he quickly joined in the conversation, not forgetting to glance at his grandson with a warning, "Indeed! Even an old man like me has become a fan. I’ve heard that her song ’Sleep’ is more effective than sleeping pills. I’ll download it to my phone and listen to it when I suffer from insomnia."
Jiang Qi had gone off to chat with a few acquainted buddies as soon as he came in and hadn’t been following his grandfather, so he wasn’t aware that he and Ruan Yingtong had already met. Now seeing his grandfather’s warning glance, he was somewhat puzzled.
People at the scene also advised Jiang Hua to calm down. In actuality, Jiang Hua wasn’t really blaming her. If she hadn’t created some sort of incident, she wouldn’t be Jiang Ying. As her father, he would have been driven to an early grave without this kind of attitude.
He looked sternly at Jiang Ying, who was peeking out, "What are you standing there for? I’m not going to hit you."
Jiang Ying straightened her back, "I don’t want to. I want to stand next to Sister Yue."
Yun Yue looked so cool and impressive today, like a real boss from a movie, providing a great sense of security from behind her.
Jiang Ying hugged Yun Yue’s arm and looked righteously at Jiang Hua.
Xiao Chen glanced over at her, his voice cold, "Go back to your father’s side."
Jiang Ying’s heart lurched under his chilling gaze.
"I don’t..."
"Go back."
Yueyue, "Sister Yue..."
Under Xiao Chen’s dark and icy gaze, Jiang Ying finally hung her head low and walked back to Mr. Jiang, saying with a face full of grievance, "Daddy, cousin is bullying me."
Mr. Jiang’s heart was soft as a mess; he couldn’t bear to see her so aggrieved and immediately glared fiercely at Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, what are you, mad? You scared my precious daughter."
"..."
The crowd around them fell silent, pretending not to know what had just happened, as if they had never seen such a slap in the face before.
Mr. Jiang was famously a "daughter-con," just look – previously, he didn’t have the guts to confront Xiao Chen, but now he’s even daring to question him.
Xiao Chen swept a cold eye over him, lifting his chin in a curve that was chilly yet flawless.
Of course, Mr. Jiang was just speaking off the cuff, since, after all, he was the elder brother-in-law and was still willing to give himself some face.
The small incident quickly passed, and the atmosphere at the scene began to liven up.
"Yueyue, this is my teacher, and teacher, this is Yun Yue, my friend I’ve grown up with since childhood." Ruan Yingtong walked over, taking Yun Yue’s hand, Xiao Chen’s fierce gaze swept over, Ruan Yingtong stiffened in the spine, and Yun Yue lifted her eyelids, cold and irritable, giving him a covert glance.
Ruan Yingtong immediately felt the oppressive feeling dissipate; indeed, Yueyue was more formidable.
Yun Yue gave a nod as an acknowledgment, while everyone around was covertly watching this side. Seeing Yun Yue even colder and prouder than Xiao Chen, they were somewhat surprised in their hearts.
"How come this woman has never been seen in Beijing before?" Cheng Jianfeng frowned slightly. Even Mr. Jiang gave Yaonan way to show respect; who was this woman?
Shen Xuan felt a strong surge of jealousy welling up within her.
If she had encountered Yun Yue in such a setting in Lancheng, she wouldn’t have bothered to greet her, wouldn’t even have taken her into consideration at all.
But this was Beijing, and at such a banquet, nearly half of Beijing’s powerful and influential families were present. Everyone’s eyes were on Yun Yue.
She even stood by that man’s side, seemingly adored by everyone, yet she was nothing but a poor girl from a poor village in Lancheng, with her father marrying into another family. How arrogant of her to look down on everyone!
Yes, that’s it!
She was so disdainful!
Those people whom she ought to treat with respect and esteem, Yun Yue ignored them, not even sparing them a glance, like a noble looking down on a commoner, high and cold.
"She studied in Lancheng High School like me, her father married into a wealthy family, otherwise, she would still be living in a poor village, it’s probably because she is good-looking that she caught the eye of the man beside her," Shen Xuan’s grip tightened in her palm, her eyes flickering with jealousy.
Cheng Jianfeng quickly picked up on a few keywords and saw his initially respectful gaze gradually turning into one of scorn.
He had thought she was some important figure, only to find she was just one of Xiao Chen’s lovers.
Just a pretty vase, thinking she could act above others by relying on Xiao Chen’s influence.
How could the Xiao Family possibly let such a person enter their doors? No wonder when Gu Cong asked who she was, he didn’t even feel like answering; if it were his own kept lover, he wouldn’t have disclosed it either.
"There’s no need to pay attention to her; she won’t last long in Beijing," Cheng Jianfeng sneered. Not knowing her own status, she also didn’t know how to be discreet. Tonight alone, she could offend a whole swath of people.
As soon as Xiao Chen tires of her and casts her aside, there will immediately be those ready to deal with her, relying on her face, there will be no shortage of those willing to strike.
Having been in the Beijing circle for so long, he had seen all sorts of incidents; the surface seemed prosperous and everyone coveted it, but it was also incredibly unforgiving.
