The Jiang family consisted of two brothers. The eldest son, Jiang Wei, was pursuing his endeavors in the capital city and making progress in various fields. On the other hand, Jiang Ning’s father, Jiang Guo, chose to establish himself in their hometown of JEIai City and achieved success in different industries.
Jiang Chun decided to return to Hai City for her studies due to her grandmother’s ailing health. With her mother being weak and her father occupied with work, as the only daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Chun took the initiative to fulfill her filial duty to her grandmother on behalf of her parents.
As Jiang Chun was born and raised in the capital, she was unfamiliar with the social circles and peers in Hai City. However, Jiang Ning, being enthusiastic and well-connected, introduced Jiang Chun to many socialites and prominent individuals in Hai City.
Once Li Bing discovered Jiang Chun’s background, she consistently encouraged Wei Lai to engage more with the Jiang sisters. Jiang Chun’s gentle personality not only won the favor of many elders but also garnered positive reception from her peers.
Baisheng Mall.
With excitement, Wei Lai eagerly held onto Jiang Chun’s arm. “Congratulations, Sister Jiang Chun! You truly deserve to be the school beauty of No. 1 High School.”
Before Jiang Chun could respond, Jiang Ning interjected with a sense of pride, “Finally, everyone realizes that b*tch Wen Nian is not worthy of that title.”
Ever since Wei Lai discovered that Wen Nian was filming a movie prior to the new year, he had been harboring a sense of indignation. He had previously humiliated her, but now that he had distanced himself from the Wei family, she was actually achieving greater success and prominence. This realization fueled Wei Lai’s frustration.
Wei Lai concurred with Huang Yue’s perspective. Despite the police suspecting that Huang Yue was spreading rumors to tarnish others’ reputations, in Wei Lai’s opinion, Wen Nian was adept at deception. Huang Yue, being aware of the truth, felt an urgency to act before obtaining concrete evidence, resulting in her defeat.
During Wei Lai and Jiang Ning’s conversations, a mixture of emotions was inevitable. Furthermore, when Wen Nian took the initiative to end their engagement, Jiang Ning was present, but she chose not to reveal the truth to Wei Lai out of respect for Wei Xiao.
As Jiang Ning pondered over Wei Lai’s remarks regarding Wen Nian’s personality, she began to speculate that Wei Xiao’s decision to study abroad might have been influenced by the pain caused by Wen Nian. She believed that his heart had been wounded, leading him to choose to distance himself by traveling far away. This realization left Jiang Ning with a sense of regret, as it meant she had lost any opportunity to compete for Wei Xiao’s affection.
Having a common enemy made Wei Lai and Jiang Ning even better friends.
Jiang Chun observed the discontent that Wei Lai and Jiang Ning held towards Wen Nian and curiously inquired, “May 1 ask why you harbor such strong resentment towards her?”
This question made Wei Lai and Jiang Ning say a bunch of bad things about Wen Nian.
Upon hearing the explanation, Jiang Chun furrowed her brow slightly. “While I don’t personally believe she is that type of person, I do find one aspect a bit peculiar. If she indeed broke off her engagement with Wei Xiao and is now dating Shen Jun from our class, it does seem quite fast.”.
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Chun in admiration. “You’re finally enlightened!”
“That’s not right. She’s really in a relationship?! Does that Shen Jun have some powerful background?”
Wei Lai pointed at the elevator entrance of the mall and shouted, “Hey, hey, hey, look who that is!”
Jiang Ning snorted. “Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. We were just talking about her and she appeared.”
It was Zheng Mo’s birthday on Sunday. Wen Nian came out today to pick a gift for her. She did not expect to bump into Wei Lai and Jiang Ning on her day off.
In her previous life, she did not interact much with these two people. She did not expect to have more interactions with them in this life.
Wen Nian looked at the two people who stopped her. She didn’t want to get involved with them. And so, she said in a cold tone, “Move.”
Wei Lai crossed her arms over her chest and lifted her gaze to meet Wen Nian’s towering figure. “Are you the only one entitled to walk this path? Why should I step aside? 1 am younger than you. Do you understand the concept of respecting your elders and showing compassion to the younger ones?”
Wei Lai appeared to be intentionally provoking a confrontation, but Wen Nian refused to back down. She countered with a retort, “You’re three years younger than me? Well then, 1’11 gladly play the role of an ‘old woman’ for once. Surely you understand the importance of respecting your elders, don’t you? It wouldn’t be appropriate to expect an ‘old woman’ like me to yield to you, right?”
After saying that, Wen Nian raised her chin to the side, indicating for Wei Lai to move aside!
Jiang Ning furrowed her brows, standing up to defend against what she perceived as injustice. “You show disdain for the less fortunate and favor the wealthy, using the Wei family as a stepping stone. Not only do you show no remorse, but you also have the audacity to hold such an attitude towards the family you owe! Bow down and apologize to Wei Lai! Your online supporters are truly blind! One day, we will expose your true nature!”
Wen Nian felt that these two people have amazing IQ. Why did they stop her for no reason just to make her bow?
Wen Nian cast a glance at the two of them before responding. “Wei Lai, logically speaking, I am also your cousin’s former fiancee. It would be appropriate for you to address me respectfully. Regardless of the reasons behind my broken engagement with your brother, it is not within your purview to be concerned..”
