Her superior received the message and quickly contacted Li Zhou, who had instructed him early in the morning to tell him the moment Jade arrived.

Although he did not know the exact reason, he did not dare to offend the CEO’s personal secretary.

Li Zhou looked at the message he received on his phone and heaved a sigh of relief. He then bid farewell to the people around him who were exchanging pleasantries. Under their curious gazes, he walked to a hidden corner.

“President Fu, she’s here. You can go downstairs now.”

At the banquet.

Jian Wan was delighted to hear the flattery from the people around her. She was beaming with joy. However, when she noticed someone who looked like Jian Yan, her smile froze.

“Who’s that?” She pointed at Jian Yan and asked the hotel manager beside her.

The hotel manager looked over and recalled the list of guests. “Miss Wan, that’s Lady Jade. She was also invited by the organizers. It’s said that she’s a famous master of embroidery.”

“Suzhou’s embroidery…” Jian Wan’s hand trembled as she held the wine glass. The wine in the glass swayed and her voice trembled.

Beside her, Lu Xue casually said, “Isn’t that Sister Wan’s specialty?

“Haha, she lives abroad all year round. Even if she knows a thing or two, she’s definitely not as good as Sister Wan’s family. I wonder why the Fu Corporation invited her here. Is she here to make up the numbers?”

The other ladies who were chatting with Jian Wan quickly agreed.

“Miss Lu is right. She must be here to make up the numbers.”

“Second Young Master Fu specially organized this banquet for Miss Wan. They came from overseas to watch the show.”

“I think so too. That lady seems to be very confident. I’m afraid she didn’t expect that such a big banquet would be for our Second Young Master Fu’s beloved wife.”

Listening to their banter, Jian Wan finally felt relieved. That’s right. Regardless of whether that woman was Jian Yan, the latter was merely a stepping stone for her.

The Fu Corporation had already internally decided that the Jian family would win the contract!

Jian Wan smiled. “Let’s go take a look. I think she looks familiar. I want her to take off her sunglasses. Who wears sunglasses during banquets? Although she has a personality, I don’t like looking at her.”

“Then let’s go. Let’s make her take it off.”

Lu Xue was the first to stand up and walked over with Jian Wan aggressively.

Behind them, the few ladies looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Jian Yan sat alone and admired the melodious sound of the piano, wondering if Zhang Yue could take care of her children.

After interacting with Zhang Yue for the past few days, the three babies had gotten on good terms with her.

Although Da Bao and Er Bao secretly doubted Zhang Yue’s intelligence in private, San Bao secretly told her about it and said, “I think Auntie Zhang Yue is quite good. It’s alright even if she’s not smart. It’s fine as long as she’s not a bad person who bullies you.”

What could Jian Yan say to this? She could only smile and nod her head. She didn’t dare to tell Zhang Yue these words. Otherwise, she would definitely witness Zhang Yue stomping her feet.

Although the three children knew who their father was, they did not take the initiative to mention Fu Li to her after understanding the complicated past between them.

Jian Wan felt both heartache and concern.

Yet, she did not dare to let them acknowledge each other.

The Fu family would never let the three children remain outside, but she could not accept them being taken away from her.

Jian Wan walked over.

“Ms. Jade, can you take off your sunglasses? I think you look like an old friend I know. You look even more like someone I know now that I’m up close.”

Jian Yan heard a voice that made her want to vomit. She looked up and said in an imposing manner, “Old friend. How interesting. I didn’t expect you to call me that.”

“Didn’t you used to love to bug your elder sister the most? You refused to listen when I told you not to call me that. You’re just the daughter of a mistress.”

Lu Xue rebutted her. “How dare you say that of Sister Wan? You’re so rude!”

Jian Yan ignored her. As soon as she entered the venue, she had spotted Jian Wan and wanted to avoid her. However, since Jian Wan came looking for her, there was no need to give her any face.

Fortune favored the bold after all. There was no point in hiding.

The familiar voice and harsh words hit Jian Wan hard.

Even if Jian Yan didn’t take off her sunglasses, she could confirm that the person in front of her was Jian Yan, who had caused the Jian family to go bankrupt five years ago and then disappeared without a trace!

“Jian Yan, it’s really you. You’re back!”

Jian Wan screamed at the top of her lungs. Then, she reverted back to her lady-like voice. She said in a soft and weak voice, as if she had been wronged, “Sister, I know that you were upset when Brother Yuan chose me over you but I didn’t expect you to sell your family’s shares on impulse. Fortunately, Brother Yuan helped us. Otherwise, you would have ruined our parents’ efforts.”

“That’s exactly what I wanted. Out of sight, out of mind. So he was the one who helped you guys. No wonder there were unexpected situations. Hmph.”

Jian Wan snorted and turned her head away. She couldn’t be bothered to look at the girls.

Lu Xue butted in, “I didn’t expect you to be so evil to want to destroy a family. Bah! How disgusting.”

“Manager, quickly chase her out.. Don’t let her attend the banquet!”
