Chapter 692: Nothing For Me to Prepare

“There’s no need. It’s all arranged.”

Jiang Yiqian had clearly heard her and Shi Jin discussing getting help, so she was anxious to jump out.

In the end, Jiang Ning did not give her any face and did not let her do anything.

Seeing that she was not leaving, Jiang Ning asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Then forget it. I’ll go back first. If you need any help, just let me know.”

After Jiang Yiqian left, Jiang Ning shook her head and said, “This cousin of mine is really good at using tricks. In the past, she didn’t act like this in front of me. Now that she knows about my situation, she wishes she could come three times a day.”

“Isn’t she with Qin Fanya?”

“How could Qin Fanya like her? Usually, Qin Fanya is close to her and only treats her as a maidservant. She doesn’t treat her as a friend at all.”

Shi Jin agreed with this.

Jiang Ning continued, “Jiang Yiqian doesn’t have any ability to do anything. I’m afraid that if I hand the mission to her, she will screw it all up for me.”

“Then just ignore her.”

“Yes. By the way, Shi Jin, which people do you recommend?”

Shi Jin took out the list and recommended the person she liked to her.

After Jiang Yiqian left, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

They were both from the Jiang family, but Jiang Ning had been doted on since she was young. Even if her ability was ordinary and she was unruly, she was still doted on by everyone. When she grew up, she would have whatever she wanted.

On the other hand, she had nothing. Every month, she only had the pocket money and living expenses that Old Master Jiang had arranged for every relative from the side branches.

If she wanted to buy something luxurious, she had to follow Qin Fanya and pick up the leftovers.

Different people had different lives.

“Yiqian, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to prepare for Jiang Ning’s inauguration banquet?” The person who spoke was called Liu Fang. She was Jiang Yiqian’s aunt and a famous social butterfly in Hong Kong. She was still charming even in her forties.

“What can I prepare? I don’t have anything to prepare.”

Liu Fang chuckled. “When the time comes, there will be so many VIPs present. Won’t you take the opportunity to choose a suitable boyfriend for yourself? Now, Old Master Jiang still thinks highly of you children from the side families. If you don’t take this opportunity to choose properly, when he dies, do you think Jiang Ning will still tolerate you people?”

These words made Jiang Yiqian’s heart skip a beat. It was not that she did not have such thoughts, but her looks were too mediocre. She also did not have any real ability in the Jiang family. Any man with a slightly better family background would not be interested in her.

She looked at Liu Fang seriously and said, “Aunt, why don’t you find one yourself? Didn’t you like Fu Zhaoxiang back then?”

Liu Fang’s heart skipped a beat.

***

Fu Xiuyuan had no time to attend Jiang Ning’s inauguration banquet, so Shi Jin asked Qiu Xingmi to go with her.

She went to the Southern Courtyard to pick up Qiu Xingmi. Fu Zhaoxiang and Qiu Xingmi were both dressed.

“Is Xiuyuan really not going?” Qiu Xingmi asked.

“Yes, he has an important contract to discuss.”

Qiu Xingmi could not help but feel a little disappointed that she had one less chance to spend time with her son. However, on second thought, her son’s choices were the most important. Why think so much?

She recovered her emotions and asked with a smile, “Is my outfit okay?”

“The golden silk is noble and generous. It’s smooth and nice. The half sleeves show your temperament. The dark red color suits your skin color. It’s very good.”

Qiu Xingmi beamed. “Shi Jin, when you don’t smile, you look very cold. I was always a little afraid of you. But when you speak, why does your mouth seem to have eaten honey?”

“I’ve always been like this when I’m telling the truth.” Shi Jin smiled.

The three of them arrived at the Jiang family’s banquet.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Jiang Ning was greeting the guests.

Seeing Shi Jin come, she immediately walked over. “Uncle, Auntie, Shi Jin!”

“Congratulations, Jiang Ning.” Qiu Xingmi took out the gift and placed it in her hand.

“Thank you, Auntie. I’m already very happy that you can come today.”

“Your parents and I are old friends. Seeing your achievements today, I’m really happy for you,” Qiu Xingmi said emotionally.

Jiang Ning smiled. “Everyone, go in and rest for a while.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Qiu Xingmi smiled and walked in.

When Qin Fanya came over, the scene was already filled with people.

Jiang Yiqian followed by her side. It was obvious to the naked eye that Qin Fanya was not in a good mood.

This was also very normal. Back then, Qin Fanya had been an outstanding existence in Hong Kong. Among the younger generation, apart from Fu Xiuyuan, everyone else could only look up to her.

However, in just a few months, Shi Jin and Jiang Ning had risen one after another and directly snatched her light, making it impossible for her to continue being the center of attention.

The moment the two of them entered, they heard praises for Jiang Ning and Shi Jin everywhere, especially about the mine last time.

Since Fanya was also at the scene of the mine, when everyone praised them, they inevitably brought Qin Fanya along to discuss.

Although Qin Fanya’s expression did not change, it was easy to imagine the feeling in her heart.

“Fanya, let’s find a seat first,” Jiang Yiqian said.

“Alright.” Qin Fanya chose a corner.

Just as she sat down, Jiang Yiqian brought the drink to her hand. “Drink something first.”

Qin Fanya picked up the orange juice and took a sip. She saw a large group of young people walking towards her. Among them, there were many men. This group of people were all famous second and third generation descendants of Hong Kong. Some came from business families, and some came from official backgrounds. It could be said that the future of Hong Kong was also in the hands of this group of people.

Jiang Yiqian smiled. “Young Master Chen, Young Master Fang, and the others are all here.”

These people had always liked to surround Qin Fanya. They were most willing to compete with each other to gain her favor and attention. It had almost become a game between them.

Although these people had also been doted on since they were young, they sincerely admired Qin Fanya’s ability, so they were willing to bow down to her.

Qin Fanya said indifferently, “When they come later, tell them not to play too crazily. After all, today is Jiang Ning’s home ground.”

“Alright, I’ll persuade them, but your worries are not unfounded. Last time, they made a bet that whoever won their drinking competition could dance with you. In the end, everyone in the circle was defeated, and there was not a single person who could dance with you. Thinking about it now, I still think it’s funny,” Jiang Yiqian said with a smile.

When Qin Fanya thought of these things, the smile on her face gradually widened. Indeed, she was still the one respected among this group of arrogant young masters.

Jiang Yiqian watched as they walked towards them, but they turned in another direction. She thought that they had seen wrongly and quickly greeted, “Young Master Chen, Young Master Fang!”
